~ POLITICAL. Chaoti) Condition of Parties in the | Old Keystone State. INTENT OF THE HARTRANPT MOVEMENT. Populr Sentiment Regarding the Coming Man. PENNSYLVANIA PARTIES. WHE PARTISAN QUANDARY IN THE KEYSTONE STATI—REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS CON- “FUSED —BLAINE’S STRENGTH — CONKLING’S CHANCES—CAMERON'S LEADERSHIP. Lancaster, May 47, 1876, The pditical condition of both parties in this State at $his time can only be described as chaotic, Neither side has a policy for the future and each js divided into factions, for the existence of which there 1s no good Mon, and the old feuds of the republican party are as bitter as ever, It was natural to suppose that alter McClure and Curtin had gone over to the deniocracy their quarrel with Cameron wouid cease, at least within the party, but such was not the case. Other and younger men have taken up the quarrel, and, while its Consequences are seldom felt on election day, it is an element of much bitterness at State and national con- ventions, In the present canvass, though Jess mani- fest than usual, it is plainly visible on every hand, avd ‘very nearly broke out into rancor at the Harrisburg Convention, Although Governor Hartrantt received the Bnanimous indorsement of that body, it was in reality not Hartranft that the delegates were thinking about, but Blaine and Conkling, and these again were only the smbodiments of the faction fights of the leaders, Up fo’ the presont hour the Pennsylvama delogation js pretending to support Hartranft as if there were no other candidates in the field, and many of the delegates even pretend that they have no Reoond choice, It was thought wonderiul that two Roman augurs could look ench other in the face with- . out laughing. It requires even greater facial control to hear a Pennsylvania delegate to the Cincinnati Conven- Mon tell you he is tor Hartranft first, last and all the me, and keep from laughing in bis face: Harte tanft, however, is the olive branch which preserves peace at home, and the pwans which are sung in his Yonorare only moant to keep Pennsylvania ropubli- ‘tans from scratching cach other's eyesout. But behind ull this is the real issue which will bave to be settled in the end, and that issue 18 the choice between Conkling and Blaine in tho delegation. THY PRUDS IN THR REPUBLICAN PARTY. It 1s a singalar bit. of political history—the effective. ness of Hartran{t’s name as a conciliatory element, When he is out of the way it is to be feared, however, that the delugo will break loose. Already un 8 tral occasions the floods seemed ready to pour over'the Hartranftembankment At least one delegate chosen vy his district to represent it at Cincinnati was dropped vy the Convention because be was outspoken for Blaine, This was Buch, of Berks, and it 1s suid others rould have met with a like fate if they had not shown ight and made a compromise necessary. Even Me- Pherson, of Adams,-so long the efficient clerk of the House ot Representatives, was threatened with Haughter, and he probably would have suffered had pot Stewart, of Franklin, breathed fire and sword In the caucus preceding the Convention, Then, too, McClure, with his usual adroitness, introduced dis- cord into the party councils by his bold assertions and predictions, To his functions as a journalist he added his foresight as a politician, and 80 at the very outset he got the factions by the ears. In this way the in- dorsement of Hartranit came to be regarded, outside of the State at least, asa pledge to Conkling, while in the State it inspired Blaine’s supporters with a spirit of bitter determination, The story that ‘Don’? Cameron was to go into the new Cabinet in case of Conkiing's election only added fuel to the flame, and Mr. Cam eron’s friends were disavowing any such bargain up to the moment of his appointment as Secretary of War by General Grant, As a matter of course this appoint- ment puts a new face upon the canvass, but it may Feagonably be doubted whether in iteclf it will give Conkling any additional strength in this State. It will have the effect, however, of foreclosing the mortgage which Hartranft held upon the Presidency, and, as is boo often the case, more benefit will accrue to the mortgagors than to the mortgagee. It view of it it, seema impossible that the delegation should persist in their Hartranft policy, and it 1s plain at last that thoy ‘will be compelled to choose between Biaine and Conk- Ung sooner than they expacted. BLAINE’S STRENGTH IN THE DELEGATION, It would be a mistake to underestimate Blaino’s strength in Pennsylvania, There is no doubt whatover of his strength, both in the delegation and among the people. Mr. Henry N. Hoyt, the chairman of the State Central Committee and a delegate at large to Cincin- aati, is warmly-in his favor. He carries with him both of the district delegates from the Luzerne district, Morton MeMichael, editor of the North American, and temporary chairman of the last national convention; H. H. Bingham, formerly Postmaster of. Philadelphia, and others of the delegation from that city are not aniy Biaine’s friends, but his active and determined partisans, 1 have already indicated the quality of McPherson’s friendship for Biaine. In the Lehigh, Wyoming and Cumberland valleys there.1s absolutely so Conkling sentiment, while there isa positive and fownright Biaine enthusiasm. Witn the present feel (ug among tho delegates and the rank and file of the party in, shis State it would seom—iooking at the prova- bilities from a natural standpoint—that no power on earth can stay the tide that is roiling in favor of the Maine leader, I could take up district alter district where Conkling’s chances are not oven dis- pussed, and name delegate after delegate who is for Blaine behind the cloak of Hartranft's indorsement, At the same time nono of the candidates is treated with greater respect than Roscoe Conkling. His ability ‘wd worth are universally admitted. His party fidelity J8 praised oven by those who dislike the administra. tion of General Grunt, and if he is vominated at Cin- cinnatj he will get an unstinted support from the re- pablicans of Pennsylvania, But Blaine is their idol, He has captured the popular imagination by his as- Baults upon the Southern leaders, and in his combat with Ben Hill he made moro friends than in all his yrevious efforts, The Pennsylvania reputican avomt- fa abhors, hates the Southern democrat. The poli- u cian who can most efleetively pommel the South is 18 favorite, and hence it is that Biaine has earned his sdmiration and his iove, We might wish it was other. wiee, but such are the facts, and we must look the facts Bquarely in the face m forecasting the results of a great political movement. " THE POWER BEHIND CONKLING. On the other hand, if we look only at Blaine’s strength, we may undervalue the forces which are operating in Conkling’s favor, These are all under the surtace, Me has ‘ew open advocates. For a fortnight or more it has’ ‘been asserted that there was a move: | ment among the politicians in his favor, but « was Wiificult to trace it to any one of the leaders willing to | vow i} The Cabinet changes were at once accepwd, | bowever, asa sure sign of it, and it now remains to be wen whether the preferences of the delegation can be thanged by the combined influences which it is pre- jumed will be brought to bear in Mr. Conkling’s favor. Never before was there a severer strain pat upon the Cameron leadership, and never betore was there so Much disposition to disobey without absolutely revolt ing. lam sure that neither Senator Cameron nor the Secretary of War could comm the delegation at th: moment, 1t 1s not saic for in or for Mr. Conkling frier ds to avow a treaty of amity even now, and Hart- Fanft will have ‘o serve as a cloak lor some time longer. That it 18 impossible to give Conkling the sup- re of the delegation ip the end I am far trom be- | leving. ve Cameron influence is oF Few fee, men have such a devoted personal following as | nator Cameron, His fidelity to his friends is pro- | verbial and begets fidelity in ret compels ence simply because it is his wish, In | th Hitle antitheses is power, and it can be brought to bear with great effect upon the delegation. | First of all, there is among the delegates prpbably a | score of men who are always willing to do hv bidding | regardless of their personal proierences, Another | score have no strong personal preferences, and while | they night prefer to support Biaine yer they have | oo wish to offend Cameron, and they are sure | shat they will help themselves im helping him. | It the Camerons Sect Gouare the field tn behail’ 0! Conkiing Blaine cannot be sure of many of Ni present support The daty of political obedience will tarn back the wave of popular enthusiasm. An hout can change the whole aspect of the Presidential eky so far as Penneyivania is concerned, and an hour may change i The anti-Cameron faction ts taiking very loudly just now, but theirs is a tune which bas so often been sung in @ different key from that in whieh it was pitcned before great political movements were consum- ‘mated that there is no telling what song they will sit at Cincianati, Blaine unquostionably has Ponasy! His wish often | vania ‘but Conkling is even more likely to get the vote of ‘State, ‘THK DEMOCRATIC QUANDARY, If the republicans are in a quandary what sball be said of the condition of the Pennsylvania democracy? Even their political onemies pitythem As yet they have ngs decided upon a platiorm or been able to hit upon a candidate, There are among them soit money men, hard money men and men willing to split the diflerence, The out and out friends of the inflation policy favor Hendricks, but bis support has fallen almost completely away in the last few weeks. The hard money wen are for Til and until lately some of them were for Thurinan. * Senator Wallace’s friends were disposed to favor the latter, and there would have been a very strong movement in bis behalf had not the action o! the Allen democrats in Ohio dis- eoucerted all their plans. The choice is now between Hendrecks and Tilden, with a strong feeling in Tilden's favor. There is @ question, however, which is more important even than the qnestion of candidates, vad that ts the one in regard t» policy—whetber they shall conciliate the Obio inflationists to save Indiana, or throw them overboard to make New York secure. Whichever way they turn there is a Jilemma, and they do not profess to like either horn. The leading men of the party in Pennsylvania declare that they will iusist upon a hard money platiorm, aud if they do this it will, be comparatively @asy to secure a hard moncy candi- date. Since Thurman 1 out of the race it is not impos. sible for Hendricks to obtain tne delegation on a sound plaiform, if it was not for the fear that his nomination would be the sacrifice of New York; but his friends claim that Pennsylvania and New York never have worked — together 4s pever will, Tilden’s friends, however, are alert, and if he grows during the noxt three weeks as has grown in the last he wil be able to control the delegation at St. Louis. There is au undercurrent in favor of General Hancock; but if the delegation sup ports him it will only be because they can agree upon uo one else, THE PEMOCRACY APATHETIC. One of the queer things of this. preliminary canvass fe that most of the democrats think more of republican tactics than of their own. In gome places 1 impossible to induce them to talk politics Philadelphia the Centennial takes precedence over everything else, At Pottsville the *‘Moily Maguires’’ are the subject. of universal remark. At Chambers- burg the case of Rolland, the bank robber, is the ab- sorbing topic, and at Harrisburg “Don” Camerov’s appointment to the War Uffice inspires universal ro- joicing, “irrespective of party.” The republicans are ‘more enthusiastic, because they count upon carrying the State; but the result at Cincinnati will stir up the democracy, and it is not impossible that they will find both a platiorm and a candidate, THE POLITICAL WEATHERCOCK, NEWSPAPER WINDS-—HENDRICKS IN THE WEST—- THE WHIGS AND BRISTOW—THE DEMOCRATS AT SEA—SOUTHERN CONCESSIONS AND PLANS— TILDEN ,WANTED, BUT NOT LOVED—FAR SOUTH—BLAINE IN THE WEST—CONKLING AHEAD IN THE EAST—BAYARD'S STRENGTH. ‘Western newspaper opinion is gaining some defiuite- ness—at least, enongh to show the quality of Presi- dential candidates who must bo nominated in order to ploase the people, The measures of the Ohio demo- crates are bearing fruit, The Chicago Inter-Ocean, which canpot be accused of leniency toward the demo- crats, that the indorsement of Allen is considered adeathknell to Tilden, and thinks that the nomina- tion of a hard-moncy candidate at St, Louis would be resented by Ohio. It says TILDEN 18° DEAD. We gather from this that the Democratic Convention willeither disrupt tho party by the nomination of a man on the one eide like Tilden or on the other like Allen, or they will finally accept a compromiee, and unite upon one whosé views represent no:ther.the one. jaction nor the other. In such event, and the latter course Snes who is the coming man of the de- mocracy Asif in answer to this question the Indianapolis News, an independent paper, says that so bitter will be the fight at St. Lonis, and so indisposed the two fac- tions to surrender to each other, that, for the sake of having any candidate at all, they will choose a nega- tive man. It says HENDRICKS 18 THE COMING MAN, ‘The instruction of Ohio delegates to vote for Rise- ‘up-Allen for President will help Mr, Hendricks, With a rag baby candidate on ono hand and a hard morey vanuidate on the other the chances of a compromise candidate are improved. The democrats are becoming more and more sensi- tive to this fear of a factional fight at St. Louis. The South is willing to make any sort of concessions for peace, The opinion is growing tbat the democratic party cannot afford to go before the country witn a strong platform or a very positive man. The Balti- more American, an able republican paper, 1s convinced that the democratic party 1s very much at sea, and this is. by no manner of means an auspicious fashion of en- tering im the campaign, Whtn the democrats assem- ble in St. Louis there is likely-to bea confusion in their National Convention that may only be compared to the discordance which prevailed at Charleston in 1860 and lead to the breaking up of the party. Notwithstanding the gencrous offers of the Southern democrats to give everything to the choice of the North, tho old ante-war political spirit 1s at work. The pohticians are wishing for power. Their offers of abnega- tion are shrewd and display Political wisdom. Virgima claims to hold the balance ot power AT s8T. Louis, Her poljticians are working hard for Tilden. Their personal dislike of the man amounts almost to con- tempt. They hate him because they havea sincere political regard for Bayard and an honest affection for Hancock, and because Tilden is the only man with whom they may hope to’ win. If they chose a North- ern democrat of their’ own political liking they would perhaps choose Thurman, but they consider him prac- tically out of the race. The Chicago 7imes, summar- izing the situation, indorses this view by saying:— ‘The Southern democrats appear to hold very diverse views on the Presidential question, The Louisville Courier-Journal is working zeaiously for Tilden, and many minor journuls, including the Charleston ‘News and Courier, are inclined to follow its lead; but the Richmond Enquirer and some other influential paper: oppose him quite as zealously. The first choice uf 4 ator Lamar and the’ better class of ex-Confederate: probably Bayard, of Delaw: but those who prefer to sacritice everything for sake of success in tue clec- tion are working for Tilden. Bayard, on account of his State rights views, his Southern sympathies and his aristocratic origin, is naturally a favorite among the Southern leaders; but these very qualifications make him a weuk candidate in the North, ‘The conclusio gaining ground that Tilden is the only man who get the nomination, und the only man who stands a chance of being elected after he 1s nominated. As far south as Georgia there is a strong sentiment against Tilden because ho is considered as a machine candidate, The papers thore say that if the East is to have the candidate Bayard ought to be nominated. He is considcred asa man whose accomplishments and character are not unlike those of Conkling, who is be- coming very stroug among the republicans of Georgia and Fiorida. The Augusta (Ga.) Sentinel gives new cur- rency to the gossip that Southern newspapers are be- ing subsidized in tho imterest of @ leading democratic candidate. ‘There is again considerable talk ia the South about the revival of the whig party. Tho conservative party of Virginia 1s said to be really the whig party unwilling to venture on the whig name or to hoid the democratic name, The border States have THR WHIG sriRrT, but the North does not seem to appreciate tho move- ment, The Springiicld Republican, however, says ot t— . Scattered through the Western ana Southern States there are a good many thoucands of old whigs who have been acting and Voung with the democracy under protest.

As between bim and Silas Wright aemocrat jike Mr. T.l roentage of tl or whigs would have to wrestie mightily with themselves before they could yote for the democrat. In the West thefe 1s considerable ENTHUSIASM OVER BLAINE. * The St. Louis Globe- Democrat says of the Illinois re- publicans:— Although no instructions were given, it is univer- | sally unuerstood that the great majority of the dele- gation are for Blaine, chosen with that di foeling could not restrain itself wi the portrait of th ry ind the delegates a bee Yeuition wisely content with merely tulfilling its atmos duty. has done this well no one doubt who reads the pro- ceedings and resolutions.

Tne Chicago Tridune says, positively, that Conkhng has no strength west of the Alleghanies, but that Blaine bas been hurt by*Grant’s strategical move in Pennsylvania, “This is probably a Tribune argument for Bristow. id Tn Maryland the democrats have broken away from the control of Pinkney White, who was in favor of Thurman. Governor Tilden 1s not a favorite, Hen- dricks isin no esteem. While chaos reigns in the democratic ranks the tendency is toward Bayard. If Maryland unites ber forces for him the strength of the argument that he comes from the little State of Dela- ware will be considerably broken, The sentiment of the two States is very much the same. EFFECT OF TH& CABINET CHANGES. Syracuse (N, Y.) Courier:— Donald Cameron, of Pennsylvania, the new Secretary of War, may have some qualifications for the office, but the country ts ignorant of them, He is the son of his father, who still holds the politics of Pennsylvania in his grasp. The Senate hastened to confirm all the nomt- nations.”” Elizabeth (N. J.) Herald:—‘‘In the midst of all the perplexing peculiarities of the administration thero is oniy one matter of public congratulation, and shat The investi- gations of the House have effectually killed off third- termism, and with the array of candidates upon both sides we feel conscious that our conditton will be bene- fited, whoever may be elected. The watchword of the Greeley campaign, ‘anything to beat Grant,’ was not anunmeaning jargon, but the earnest sentiment of those who felt the dangor of trusting their rights and privileges to the whim of an arbitrary, reckless execu- tive,” New Brunswick (N. J.) Herald:—‘'Graot bas been woak enough to disgust and dishearten his party all over the country by not waiting for this uncertain chance, ‘It 1s Grant's last kick at the republican party. It §s also a strong and bold move by Grant in the Conk- ling interest, and he shows plainly whom the adminis- tration is to push at Cincinnati. Several recent ap- pointments of Grant have looked that way, but now the mask is thrown off aud Grant boldly proclaims that be will push Conkiing.mto his own seatif he can.” Harrisburg (Pa) Patriot:—“It is about time now to take down the Hartran{t blind on the Presidency. Holding the fifty-eight votes trom Pennsylvania in his fist, Mr. Camerop has secured his coveted position in the Cabinet in advance, and there is no turther need of fhe blind.) The bargain having been struck nothing further remains but to deliver the consignment,’? Norristown (Pa.) Herald:—‘The conterring upon Mr. J. Donald Camoron, of this State, the honors of the War Office is thought to have u greater political signifi- cance. The President has not always shown Pennsyl- vania that attention circumstances would seem to de- mand, Bat better late than nevor, Congress did a just act to a worthy servant whon it expunged ‘from its recerds the vote censuring General Cameron as Secre- tary of War, The present appointment of the son to the same honorable position 1s confirmation by the President of this act of Congress, at the same time it secures the services of one second to none for integrity and execative ability.” Hartford Times:—Don Cameron’s appointment. means business, The President no longer taks his preference privately—bis aid of Conkling for the next President 1s now open and freely declarea, By the ap- pointment of Don Cameron to the War Office he secures for Conkling the important financial and other aid of old Simon, the corruptionist, and the whoie Pennsyl- Vania railroad and banking ‘ring.’ ” Boston Trangcript:—‘This game of buying up a dolo- gation by a Cabinet position may look well on paper, yet it 1s easily blocked. A Presidential nomination: gamed through such means would simply insuro tho defeat of the nominee and of the party. If the selec, tion of Don Cameron as Secretary of War has no such significance and does not bear Dead Sea fruit at Ciné cinnati then Mr. Conkling 1s singularly unfortunate at’ present in having his name connected with the move- ment. The course of the Pennsylvania delegation will now be narrowly watched.” Harttord (Conn.) Post:—‘vThe course of the Senate in confirming this comparatively unknown and inexperi- enced man without the usual reference is so sharply in contrast with its action inthe case of Mr. Dana as Justly tc subject that body to harsh criticism. Mr, Dana was so woll known to the whole country, and his fitmess for the English mission was so universally recog- nized, that the Senato might have been excused for confirming him out of hand; but the cautious Senators sent his nomination to a committee, which contrived to get into a personal controversy with tho nominee, the result of which was that Mr. Dana was rejected to appease the wrath of the committee,” Elmira (N. Y.) Advertiser:—“Rag money and Bill Allen have slain Tilden out West”? Pittsburg Gazette:—‘We assume, therefore, that the Camerons are too shrewd to entor into a combination that will barm their own candidate, and hence think that there is either no combination at all, or none hurtful to Blaine. In the meantime we look for a brilliant career on the part of Mr. Cameron as Secretary of War.” Philadelphia North American:— “President Grant has advocated measures which if carried out would have given a new impulse to the general progress. But Con- féederates, democrats and liberals cémbined to obstruct these measures, while they have proposed no measures oftheir own. Men can see plainly the grand future marked out by the republican policy, but they can sco nothing but imbecility and inaction as the result of democratic rule, 1tisa policy of weakness, of inca- pacity, of disintegration, ot impoverishment, of retro gression, of helplessness.” St. Louis Times:—‘John Logan, the Great Se- eluded, has been heard from at last. He dropped in on President Grant at the White House to inquire whether there was anybody there who would mourn for Logan, and was informed that the administration had as much as it could do to mourn for itself.” Philadelphia Budletin :—‘‘Surprise and satisfaction were alike felt and expressed by all honest and intolli- gent republicans yesterday at the announcement of the changes made by the President in his Cabinet.” Philadelphia North American :—There seems to bo almost universal belief in the opinion expressed by us yesterday that President Grant looked’ upon the ap- pointment of Mr, Don Cameron as a long stride in tho direetion of Mr. Coukling’s succegs at Cincinnati. On all sides the personal fitness of Mr. Cameroa seems to be conceded.” MURAT HALSTEAD ON GRANT'S LAST MOVE. [From the Cincinnat! Commercial, May 23:) The President's new appointments indicate that the poor man is of opinion that he can cause the nomina- tion of Conkling at Cincinnati. The Pennsylvania delegation is notoriously for sale, and the President has Conkling, who won his heart completely by ‘“vindi- cating” him when Charles Samner attacked him. Don Cameron is Simon Cameron's sou, He is a younger edition of Simon, not much revised or im- proved, and is said to be richer than bis father, and even a bolder and harder manager of railroads and political conventions, His riches accumulated rapidly during the wir, not only while Simon was Secretary of War, bat afterward, Morton's trienda, according to Ben. & Alox.’s Times, have the vanity to claim that “the President has not strictly observed a promise made not to show any preference in ‘idenvial contest between Morion wnd Conkling.”’. As neither Conkhog nor Morton is a Presidential possibility—as neither of them can by be nominated by the Cinemnati Conven- her would be crushingiy beaten tt noml- Jabber of exultation on one hand and of discontent on the other 1s preposterous and lwdicrous, Genoral Schenck’s salary as Minister to Kngland ceased yesterday, and we are not able to discover that his promisod vindication before the Congressional Committee of Investigation has helped him to any happier compensation. He rotires. Mr. Pierrepont is who will be « creditable representatiro of our country in England. Grant formed for him somo-years one ot his strongest personal attach- and has been nominating him tor something whenever an opening occurred. Mr. Pierrepont’s life was for some months made a burden to him by Charics Nordhofl’s despatches to the New York Hexarn, relating to his conduct as Attor- 4 General in the Babcock case. it will remembered that Pierrepont wanted to re- view the testimony against Babcock before the Grand Jury, to see whether there was anything that would warrant 80 solemn an event as the indictment of tho President’s private secretary ; but Hristow stopped this — “unprecedented intermeddling. Then Pierrepout wrote his celebrated circular to district attorneys, the amoant of which was that no guilty witness ehould es- cape, and Babveock stole it trom tho President and gave itto his lawyer, who bad it printed in the Chicago Times, But Mr. Prerrepont is not understood to have in length, thus beating John Bull at his own game—and he once taught school in Obio, t bas clearly had an essortment of per- sonal motives in making the appuintments of yester- day.

POLITICAL NOTES. New Beaford (Mass.)

We can coneeive of plenty of reasons why the republicans of Delaware should feel bound to vote against his election, but not of a single one why they sbould regret his nomination.” Boston Globe:—“Bayara, of Delaware, is looming up bigger ond bigger daily, Mr. Tiiden. He may be, after all, the Black Horse.” Boston Advertiser:——‘‘We do not agree with those who proclaim that Mr. Bristow is the only republican who can save the party; but we aro willing and glad to express our faith in his fidelity and our appreciation of his signal services to the party and the country,’’ Boston Post:—‘*The Amorican poople never wit- nessed such a scene before as is to-day enacted wholly within the lines of the republican party, that party which by its cry for reform confesses to the fact ot having made it so necessary. In other days, which have asually been referred to with an affectation of su- periority, if not of contempt, by the republican jour- nals, the exposure of a Presidential aspirant to the im- putation of having sought the nomination by personal efforts would have been enough to dispose of his hopes permanently. What remedy 1s there for such a mor. party within which these practices are not even a causo of surprise? Iv is not necessary to say anything about the repablican party’s policy or promises so long as this is the spectacle which is the best show it can make of its character. ’” Dover (Del.)

WHAT HIS CHAPLAIN SAYS ABOUT HIM—A BRAVE, JUST, UNSELFISH, UPRIGHT GENTLE- MAN, - (Rev. George F. Pentecost, of Boston, in Springfield (Mass.) Republican, May. 27.) : KNOWS mit We Thave known Mr. Bristow somewhat intimately for years, It was my good fortune to be his intimate friend and companion during the war, we having served together in the same regiment (the Eighth Kentucky cavalry) be as a lieutenant colonel and colonel and I as chaplain. As I have said, my acquaintance with him was both intimate and confidential, We messed to- gether, rode togetber—indeed were side by side much of the time, both in the camp and in the field, I bave been the guest of his home, and known somewhat in- timately his private as well as his public fife, Since the warl have watched bis career with more than ordinary mtorest, for the reason that I have ever felt that be was destined in time to -be called to bigh, if not the highest public trust m the gift of the mation, Im- mediately upon his appointment to the Treasury Depart- ment I remarked to some friends that that appomtment would be his virtual nomination to tho Presidency, I trust my prophecy will prove to have been true. A TERROR TO RVIL-DORRS, During the war he was ever the terror and dread of dishonest sutiers, contractors and all trifling and in- competent officers, In the administration of his regi- ment and the various posts-that were at different times under bis command, ‘rings’? of all kinds wero “dashed to pieces liko a potter’s vessel,” and corrup- tion fled before him like fog before the sun, No matter who was guilty—be it friend or foo—he was in- stantly called to an account, He never relaxed the severity of law for his chosen friends, I call to mind at this moment a trifling breach of discipline while on march by myself—[ believe it was falling out of hne—and, notwithstanding the intimacy or triendship between us, | was placed under arrest, he remarking to me that my position made the offence all the more inexcusable, What might be overlooked in a private could not bé in an ollicer, Always prompt and even impulsive in administranion, he was seldom swayed by anger, though he i# of a’ somewhat quick aad pus- sionace temperament, BRISTOW AND THE PRIVATE, He was as severe with himself us with others. I re- member once he had, in a moment of haste, admin- istered a severe blow to a reiractory soldier who re- fused prompt obedience to acommand. He was right in administering discipline, but he was wrong in the method, So deeply he lament it that he came to my tent the night afterward and held a long cousuita- tion as to how he might repair the personal wrong done to the soldier without weakening the moral iniiuence of the diseiplin I believe he afterward sought out the soldier and made some personal apology for his haste and for tho method ot his discipline. It 1s need- less to say that all his oflicers respected him, though some feared, and the men all loved him, WOULDN'T “ASK FOR PROMOTION, There was a time when he might have hada brig- adter general’s coinmission for the asking, Other ollicers in the brigade and division were working day aud night for these houors. I said to him one day :— “Colonel, why don’t you go tor that commission? You know you can havo it for the asking.” His peply was:—‘*Parson, I went into the war for the fight aud not for the honors, 1 am satisfied that I can do as good service at the head of this regiment as I could with a brigadier general’s commission. It will be time enough for me to take higher rank when the necessity oft she service calls for it,”’ He was almost morbid about doing anything that wonld ever have the appear-, ance of self-sceking. It is not surprising that he is now wnaking himself conspicuous in atiending to the affairs of his department rather than looking after State delegates to Cincipnati, If he is ever nominated and elected others will have to do it for him, A LITTLE INCIDENT, His personal integrity mm the jeast matters was con- spicuous to them that knew him intimately, For Instance, when we were on tho “Morgan raid,” our horses were giving out, and the order went out for officers and men to impross what horses they needed, and field officers were authorized to receipt for them at $160 per head. One day Colonel Brisiow’s horse gave out, and he was forced to take « horse for himself, Instead of giving a government receipt for $150 he bargained with the man for his horso at a fair price, aud gave him his personal note, je at thirty or sixty days, I was je at the titne; and said:—“Why did you not give agoverament receipt? The oflicers were authorized to do 80 as well tor thejnselves as tor the men.” He replied:—The goverument requires that officers fur- nish their own horses, Lhave no right to make the government pay for my horse; certainly not as long as I can pay for it myself, And I have no right to take a man’s horse an’ give hun less than its value simply because J] have the power to do #0,” DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO NE DISHONEST. It is not surprising that Colonel Bristow is able at once and effectually to meet all charges that aro trumped up against him. These little cracks in his personal and private life let a great deal of light in upon bis character. 1 might multiply such incidents. illustrating the sterling integrity of the man aimost in- delinitely. Some men are honest because it is the best policy, but he is honest because he knows not to be otherwise, I have never bad the least far that any of the chargea brought against him would stick.

CONCLUSION OF THE INVESTIGATION—STUB BORN AND RELUCTANT WITNESSES, Justice Keese, of the First District Police Court, fg Jersey City, has concluded his investigation into the cause of the rendrock explosion on Bergen Hill. He found great difficulty in securing the attendance of witnesses, a8 Woll as in clictting satisfactory replies to questions put by him to the tunnel laborers, Patrick Stanton, one of the leaders of. the gang of strikers, who is under bonds for intimidating the workmen, at first refused to answer apy question, and denied the right of the Justice so investigate the case at all, When he was informed that he would be consigned to @ cell for bis pertinacity he yielded. When asked about the strike he said that it was no business of the Court to inquire into rt. He was allowed time for a definite ro- ply, and be reluctantly admitted that there was s strike, but denied that he bad anything to do with it, when it was well known be was a leader init. He ad. mitted that he belonged to a society, but’ stubbornly added that that bad nothing to do with the matter, Several witnesses were examined, all of whom testified that the rendrock powder would not explode except when exploded in a certain way—with a cap and fuse, George Burns, the man who had charge of the maga. zine up to four days before the explosion, testitiod that his business was to give out the cartridges, keep an ace count of them and render the same monthly to Mr. Me- Andrews; to keep up the supply of powder, and, in fact, to take full charge of the magazine and its con- tents, He said that when he left that employ- ment there were seventeen kegs of rendrock owder, several kegs of mica powder, a simi- jar substance, aud thiricen or fourteen k of common biasting powder in the magazin Jn other words, there were 1,700 pounds of rendrock, about 1,390 pounds of blasting and perhaps 300 or pounds of mice powder in the magazine when it ex- ploded, Mr. Burns testified that the powder could not explode spontaneously, Mr. Varney, an expert, stated that the powder could not be exploded unless by a percussion cap, When asked bis opinion as to the cause of the explosion, he replied, “Why, there can be only one opinion about it; it is impossible that it could explode accidentully, so it must bave been done by design.’”? Several of the tunnel laborers, when asked if they believed the explosion to be the resuit of accident or design, would not give any opimion, Others stated that it was the result of accident, but could give no reason for their belie! overn, ono of the blasters in the tunnel, said that several kinds of powder were id, but they were made of the same ingredients only in different proportions, nitro-giycerine and an absorbent, the latter being common black powder.

A “SHYSTER” ARRESTED. THE LAND SHARKS THAT FREQUENT TH POLICE COURTS AND ROB THE IGNORANT. For several weeks past the magistrates sitting at the Essex Market Police Covrt have been annoyed and rur prised by tho operations of a gang of swindlors who * pretend to be lawyers and victimnize poor rman women having business at the court, On the authority of Chiet Clerk William Heily the following persons are said to be members of the gaug:—One Repper, against whom Judge McAdam, of tho Marine Court, Ja about to take proceedings for obtaining fraudulent orders of arrest, and Adolph Hegeman, formerly @ clerk in the Corporation Counsel’s office, who lives at No, 70 Hester street, According to tho evidence of -Keeper Matthew Daily, of the prison, and Clerk Heily, the plan adopted by the ewindlers seems to have ‘been to waylay German women whose relatives have tallen into trouble, and by representing that they pos- sessed influenca with the Court extort money and never render any service in return, On information furnished by Mr. Heily a warrant was issued for Hege- man’s arrest on Saturday atternoon. 1¢ was placed in the hands of Roundsman Harbeit, of the court squad, and Hegeman was arrested yesterday morning in a saloon in Essex street. The complaint againat him re- voals a most hearless caso of swindling. On Saturday morning Caroline Hirtes, aged fourteen, of No. 11% Chrystie street, was arrested for throwing ashes on the sidewalk, and was brought to court, Her mother, Eliza beth Hirtes, an ignorant German woman, went t¢ see after her Qaughter. She was met outside the court room by Hegeman, who ropresented himseli asalawyer, He told her that ifshe bad no one to speak to the Judge her duughter would be sent ta the House of Retuge until she was twenty-one years old, Ho said the usual fee waa $10 buthe would have her daughter discharged for $4 Mrs. Hirtes gave him $2, all the money she had. Hezeman en- tered court waited until the little girl had been dis- charged by Justice Bixby, then told her to wait a moment, stepped up to the desk, asked Clerk Hetly what the penalty was in Cases of violation of the Corporation ordinances, and then Jef court. He wont to Mrs, Hirtes and demanded another dollar as his tec, telling her that he had given the $2 to Clerk Heils to have her daughter discharged. Mrs. Hirtes said sht would send the dollar to him.

OBDURATE SARAH MOSES, Sarah Moses, the young Jewish girl who, on being arrested last Saturday at the complaint of her father, Bernard Moses, of No. 4 Bowery, created such @ scene in the Tombs Court, was brought up before Justice Murray yesterday.

After consultation witl Judge Duffy Justice Murray gave her tho choice of ong to the House of the Good Shepherd or to the Penitentiary for six months, She elected to go to the House of the Good Shepherd, and was removed to that institution by Officer Kiernan. Her father cried bit- terly during the progress of the examination, “POODLE” MURPHY’S TRICK. The notorious pickpocket Terence Murphy alias Brady was arrested at noon on Saturday by Detective Rielly, of the Central Office, and the subsequent events form a most laughable story. Murphy invariably wears mutton-chop whiskers, from which he derives his soubriquet of “Poodle,” Two weeks ago Mr. Robert Stone, a lawyer, of No, 345 Broadway, was robbed of a dimond pin, worth $95, while leaving Booth’s Theatre by a man corresponding exactly with Murphy’s description, On Saturday Detective Ricily saw Murphy watching tho New York County Bank, corner of Eighth avenue and Fourteenth street, and captured him afterashort chase. He was locked up in Police Headquarters and his dinner sent in to him, while the detective went to find Mr, Stone, In the tn- terim the prisouer, with his dinner knife, succeeded ip cutting of bis hiskers, cutting and scarring hit face in all directions On the arrival of Mr. Stone | Murphy wis brought out of his cell, when bis changed appearance astonished even the detective who arrested him.
