IspiaANapouis, July 18, 1876, The Daily News publishes the following interview with Governor Hendricks with reference to the special from Saratoga to a New York evening paper:— Reroxten—Will you indicate to the News whether or not there is any truth in the despatch from New York to the oflect that sach a difference developed it- self between yourself and Governor Tildén at the Sara- toga conference on the currency question as to possibly oblige you to repudiate Tilden or retire yoursell trom the ticket? Governor Hexpricxs—Really, I have seen no such despatch as you reter to. The reporter promptly produced the telegram, the Governor, atter reading it aloud, continued: wholiy unioundea in every particular,” Rerorter—Was your conference with Governor a Itis Governor Hexpricks—It was, Of course wo differed on some immaterial points, but onthe real issues of the campaign we were united. It would indeed be a strange coincidence to find any two men in the country whose opinions on national questions were in exact barmony. Regrortrr—Tho telegram, then, you pronounco as lacking of every element of truth? Governor HENDRICKS—Most decidedly. The evening | journal referred to in the tciegram, i suspect, is a strongly partisan paper, which readily accounis for the fabrication to whieh it gave publicity. HUDSON RIVER TUNNEL.

Wasmrxortox, July 18, 1876, SECRETARY ROBESON TO BE IMPEACHED. Unless there isa chango in the programme to-mor- Tow before noon Secretary Robeson will be impeached soon after the House meets, THE SABATOGA CONFERENCE—EFFORTS TO IN- DUCE GOVERNOR TILDEN TO CONSENT TO A REPEAL OF THE RESUMPTION ACT—INFLU- ENCE BROUGHT TO BEAR ON THE BANKING AND CURRENCY COMMITTRE-—REASONS FOR DESIRING THE REPEAL. Tho account given of the Saratoga conference boe- tween Governors Tilden and Hendricks in the Hxraup to-day was 6o full and accurate that it astonished the few here who know the details and interested all the democrats greatly. It is known here that an effort has been making for sometime past, not by Mr. Hen™ dricks, but by Western and inflation domocrats, to tempt or scare Governor Tilden into consenting to the repeal by the Houso of the Resumption act or, if not that, at least of the clause fixing tho date. Thoso who pushed in this direction asserted that the loss of Indi- ana in October would cemoralize the democratic forces and cause the loss of New York in November and that. in fact, the battle was to be decidod by the October States. This argument has been pressed here persistently also upon some members of the Banking and Cygrency Committeo, It is probanle that its authors were moved less by fear of losing Indiana than by a desire to make their views eeem to dominate tn the party, and thus to secure a moral or immoral victory to salve over their defeat at St. Louis. It is also probable that some of the Western members have fears about their re-clec- tion and would like to strengtnen themselves, Both these causes have combined to bring a strong and per- sisteut pressuro upon the hard money members of the Banking and Currency Committee, and Messrs, Wike and Gibson deserve the gratitude of all who desire a sound currency for their steadfast resistance, Mr. Payne gave up long ago. It {s understood here that Governor Tilden has from first to last strenuously opposed the repeal of the Resumption act, or date, and that while, as the HeraLp correspondent reports, be has used argument and con- ctliation with Governor Hendricks, bho has been more peremptory with others who came to argue with him and induce him to consent He expreased his dotermimation not to give way on this point, or to change his dectded opinions in favor of a speedy resumption of specie payments, and his belief that the greenback dept ought to be paid, and ought, indoed, to have been paid long ago. He stated his firm belief that every interest in the country demands resumption; that none can be injured by it, and no appeals concerning the danger to tho October States moved him from his position. He 1s said to have replied to politicians who have represented that Indiana would be Jost, that only a manly and straighforward course conld carry New York, Connecticut and New Jersoy, and thet in any case ho would not triflo with principle or with a policy which he rogarded as of tho utmost im portance to every interest in the country and to ‘ts honor, no matter what wore the risks he was supposed torun. Itis believed here by his friends that his letter of acceptance will contain very decided views on this question, as well as on civil service reform and on such iawlessness as that in Soath Carolina, and that it will speak with no uncertain sound on any pending question, The real democrats rejoice at these re- ports, for they say, “We shall at any rate have ademocratic party, something to stand by and speak for.’? Nevertheless, the attempts to procure a repeal of the Resumption act continuo, and it ts evident that they come from men who are generally weak- kneed, who are silent aboat civil service reform and about the Hamburg affair, and bave a notion that they can slip into power by abusing thetr oppononts and by not committing themselves to any definite policy on any subject, THE HAMBURG MASSACRE IN THE HOUSE—PAs- SAGE AT ARMS BETWEEN SUNSET COX AND MR, TOWNSEND, OF NEW YOBK—STATESMAN- LIKE POSITION OF MR. LAMAB—MURDER SHOULD BE PUNISHED BY THE PROPER AU- THORITIES. Ths Houso had a lively passage at arms to-day on the Hambarg massacre, and among the speakers wero several of the ablest men, Mr. Smalls opened tho de- bate and was followed by Mr. Cox, who did not make an impression by bis misplaced levity, and seemed to imagine thet the question was one of corrupt govern- ment and not of assassination. Mr. Townsend, of New York, who ts as effective a wit as Mr. Cox, took ocea- ston to sit down on him in what both sides thought an effective manner. Mr. Garfield followed him, and asked whether this Hamburg case was to be regarded 48 Sporadic, or the symptom of a chronic diMeulty, and this brought Mr. Lamar to bis teet, who denounced the murders Vigorousis, declared that such acts struck at the prosperity and even at society in the South, and declared it the duty of the Governor to hunt down and punish with the severest justice the authors of this brutality. Mr. Lamar’s words wero a surprise to both sides, and some passages of his speech called out applause from the republicans. He took the ground that tho interposi- tion of federal troops 1s not aseful nor effective; that what is needed in those States is a vigorous execution of the laws by the State governments, and that while there, asin the North, there is a lawless class, the cause of such outrages as that at Hamburg was tho im- becility of the State governments, which, instead of | promptly and most sternly punishiag murder and law- Jessness, as he said it was thew solemn duty to do, pal- ter with them, call for federal help, which always comes too late to be effective, and thus, by Jeaving crime unpunished, encourage tho perpetrators, tn short, Mr. Lamar made a statesmanlike review of the source of such outrages, while he condemned :hem in the strongest manner, and the speech, coming from an iflaential Southern man, was the event of the day. He was congratulated by « number of democrats, mostly Southern men, atter the adjournment, as hav- ing spoken wisely and in accord with their sentiments. Mr. Kasson followed, pointing out that the negro militia had the constitutional mght to bear arms, and that they could not rightly be disarmed by a mob, and remarked that the democratic party had from 1840 to 1¥64 pledged itself to defend the constitutional rights of all citizens in every piatform, but had omitted this pledge ever since the negro had become a cittzen, Mr. Muckay, Hberal republican, of South Carolina, said that the affair was deeply regretted and resented by the white people of the whole State, and that tbe county in which it bappened had been notorious for disorders ever since the war and was nota fair sampie of the State, Mr. Hartridge defend ed Georgia, Mr. Hoge, of South Carolina, raised the bloody shirt, and when he closed Mr. Cox, in reply, spoke of him as the gentleman from Ohio ond got the very neat reply | froin Mr, Hoge:— “Yes, we both came from Ohio; but I carried a knap- sack with me and my friend thasahmnnebt ani bia car. pet bag. That is the difference between us,” whereat there were shouts of laughter. Finally Mr. Foster mado au appeal to the democratic side as one of the cuthors of the Wheeler adjustment and a friend of fair play to the South to put the stamp of their condemnation on such outrages, “If you can’t or don’t stop such crimes you are not fit to represent the people,” he said. This closed the debate, in which the Southern democrats, led by Mr. oT Lamar, showed to better advantage than their North- | ern ullics, Mr. Lamar has once more vindicated his title to statesmanship and moderation and love of peace and justice, which have made him a man of mark in the House, THE TEXAS BORDER TROUBLES-—PROBABLE ¥YAILURE OF THE RESOLUTIONS BEFORE THE HOUSE. The Texas border question wearios the Houre, and Mr. Schieicher’s resolutions will hardly pass, So faras they direct the President as to the movement or dispo- sition of troops they aro useless, becanse ho is Com- mander-in-chief of the forces and may move them as he pleases, regardless of Congress, The resolution which directs pursuit of robbers across the border has not the favor of sensible democrats or republicans who do not want to mault Mexico, do not want a Mexican war and know that at this timo the border ts reported in Texas to be peaceful. REPUBLICANS DESIROUS OF UNLOADING STUMP SPEECHES IN THE SENATE, The attempt of tho Indiana republicans to unload Mr, Orth and substitute Commissioner Pratt in his place as candidate for Governor has mado manifest a desire for tho retirement also of those two statesmen, Marshal Packard in Louisiana, and Sheats in Alabama, as well as a renewed demand for Genoral Babcock’s dismissal. Senator Sherman to-day remarked in the Senate that the republican party 18 the only ope which has ever divgraced its own offcors and put them in jali when they did wrong, but he passed over the dismissal of Bristow, Pratt, Jewell, Dyer and others as rapidly as possible, No republican hi ‘et been found in the Sonate bold enongh to speak out plainty for reform and to protest against the bad men kept in place or put forward as candidates and the good men put out, In the Senate to-day the two parties reviled each other, by way of self defence, the slender hook on which a series of stump speeches was hung being tne River and Harbor bill, adlalgehospetie ty FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Wasninetox, July 18, 1876, THE ROBESON INVESTIGATION—BEPORT OF THE * NAVAL COMMITTEE—PHROPOSITION FOR IM- PEACHMENT UNDER CONSIDERATION, The Naval Committee havo been in consultatton all day over their report, which is very long. The majority have determined that tho matters evidenced against Secretary Robeson are of sucha nature as ought to Procure his impeachment, but somo doubt being ex- Pressed on certain points of law it has been deter- mined to present these at once to the Judiciary Com- mittee for their decision. There was a disposition to- day not to wait for this, dut to impeach the Secretary to-morrow, but, at the request of some mem- bers, this course was not decided on. The Judiciary Committee will deliberate to-morrow on the points presented to them from the Naval Committee, and if they decide for impeachment the report and resolution of Impeachment will be at onco brought into the House. Mr. Robeson’s relations with, and favors to, Jay Cooke, McCulloch & Co., Cattell & Co., and others, aro the chief grounds of accusation, though there aro others. Mr. Danforth, one of the republican members of the committes, is understood to hold that nothing has been discovored in tho investigation to make Mr- Robeson Hable to impeachment, The majority arraign Paymaster Watmough, Chief of the Bureau of Provision and Clothing; Isaiah Hanscom, Chief of the Bureau of Construction, and W, W. W. Wood, Chief of the Bureau of Steam En- gineering, for irregularities in their business transactions, such as making purchases of supplies without previous advertisement; a failure to mako Proper reports; the diversion of funds from the pur- pose for which they were appropriated to another and different object; the expenditure of money in excess of the appropriations, the payment of money for ma- cbivery and engines before reports wero made as to their utility and the payment of extravagant sums to Norman Wiard for his experiments in ordnance, The report also condemns the perversion of the navy yards to political purposes, which, they fay, was clearly against the statute which provides that no officer or employé of the government shall requiro pr request any workingman in any navy yard to contribute or pay any money for political par- poses, nor shall any workingman be removed or dis- charged for political opinion, and any officer or employé of tho government who shall offend against this provision shall be dismissed from the service of the United States. The committee also condemn Pay #irector Bradford, late cisbursing officer in London, and Naval Constructors Hartt and Steele and othor officers in the navy for their irregu- larition, The committee recommended amendments to the Present laws so as to change the system of purchases, improving the modo of the inspection of vessels and machinery, and suggesting other reforms in the inter- est of honesty and economy. THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS—OPPOSITION TO THE REGISTRY AND ELECTION LAWS TO BE RE- CEDED FROM—HOW TO PREVENT FEDERAL INTERFERENCE IN SOUTHERN ELECTIONS, The democratic caucus was not very tully attonded this evening. It was determined to recede from the opposition to the registry and election laws, a repeal of which was required by the House in a ciauso of the Sundry Civil bill, and opposed by the Senate. Tho House will therefore give up this point. An attempt was made to bring up tho repeal of the Resumption act, but {t tailed, Mr. LAmar spoke of the necessity of preventing, so far as possible, federal interference with the elections in the South, and suggested that tho House ought either to take a recess until October or to keep committees in session. GOVERNOR CHAMBERLAIN EXPECTED IN WASH- INGTON--THE HAMBURG OUTRAGR BEFORE THE CABINET. Governor Chamberlain, of South Carolina, will arrivo here to-morrow. He comes at tho request of the Prosi- dent to consult about afairs in Soath Carolina. The Hamburg outrage was discussed in the Cabinet to-da: but it was determined to await Mr, Chamberlain’s arrl- val before concluding on a policy. THE REAL ESTATE POOL COMMITTER REFUSED ACCESS TO PAPERS IN THE TREASURY DE- PARTMENT. To-day a confidential clerk of the House Committee on the real oxtate pool proceeded to the Treasury Do- partment to make examination of some of tho papers bearing upon the transfer of navy funds to Jay Cooke, McCulloch & Co,, in London, but was refused permis- sion to inspect the documents, although armed with a letter of anthority from the Chairman of the commut- tee, Objection was made to the examination of the papers by othors than tho members of the committee. The circumstance was reported back to the committee, and doubtless the qaestion of relative rights of the two branches of the government will again be dis- cussed in tho House, KX-TREASURER SPINNER IN WASHINGTON-— RUMORS OF AN APPOINTMENT IN THE TREAS- URY DEPARTMENT. The presence of ox-Treasuror Spinner in Washington has given rise to a report that tho President has oftered him the office of Internal Revenue Commia- sioner, lately vacated by Mr. Pratt. It will bo remem- bered that Mr. Spimner left the Treasury owing to a want of harmony with Mr. Bristow, and President Grant, retaining his old friendship for him, is said to be desirious of giving him a position again in the Treasary.

When {appeared before the cominitiee last week, in obedience to their summons, I refused to answer any and ali questions which requirod me to state any con- Yersation between you and myself touching official » Whether stich conversation wok place at a f the Cubinet or atany time, saying, however, committee that DO mierence adverse to ANY OLe Id be drawn from my retusa! to answer their ques tions. [took the position distinctly that I considered all conversations between tho President and heads of the departments on oiticial matters confidential and — privileged, and thatthe | privilege existed not so much for the protection of the | parties imtpediately concerned as tor the interest of the public serviec, If | was right in this view of the matter it would seem to fallow thas the priviiege can- not be waived by either or both of the parties, In- deed, I said to the committeo that | would not feel at Uberty to answer their questions with your consent. Although I have bad no opportunities to gexamine au- thorities on this subject J am still of the opinion that the public duty to treat sueh conversations xs contl- dential and privileged 38 not removed or modilied by your consent that { should make a tull answer to the questions, It the privilege were merely — per- sonal it might be waived, but 1 piace it on higher “grounds respectfully suggest that tne appearance of the several heads ot departments leforo # committca of Congress, to testiiy to conversations between the President and themselves running through a period of many months, would almost inevitably lead to the disclosure of dif- ferences of recollection, and present to the country an unseemly conilict to which I woald not willingly be a arty, Besides, it seems to mo that such an inquiry by a committee of Congress, tends to the absorption, if not te the complete destraction of Executive power, and to the establishment of a purely legislative govern- ment In apy view lam able to take, it seems to me that duty requires me to adhere to my aanounved pur- pose, not to answer the questions propounded to me by the committee. I beg to remind you that my opinion on this subject was repeatedly stated vo you and the members of your | Cabinet, and, as I understood, met your and thoir ap- proval. My withdrawal from the Cabinet coos not alter or modity my duty m this respect, nor Lave my own views undergone any change.

The United States Corps of Cadets is back in its own camp again. Although the visit to Philadelphia was a pleasant change from the routine of West Point life, both officers and cadets seem to fee! grat satisfaction at being again at home and in a place which, even in these days of intolerable heat, is cool compared with their unsbaded camp at the Exposition, The Superintendent, General Ruger, has just ro- turned from Washington, where he was summoned as A Witness inthe Belknap trial, 1t ts said that many | changes will be made this year in the personnel of the Academic Stafl of the Academy. There are a number ot othcers here who have been on duty at the post ior four years, which is genorally the limit of service. It is reported unofficially, but on good authority, that the following named officers are to be relieved from duty : Captain A. M. Miller, Corps of Engineers, assistant professor of engineering; Captain Thomas H. Hand- bury, Corps of Engineers, instructor of engineering; Assistant Surgeon Alired C, Girard; Lieuteuant 8. M.

Muwavkex, Wis, July 18, 1876, An escaped inmate of the State Insane Asylum, named William B. Norris, formerly a bookkeeper im this city, was to-day arrested by Chief of Police Beck, for outraging two girls, aged five and seven years re: spectively, up the river last Monday, Hoe was identte fled by all the women on the road taken by the fiend and his vietims, who saw them on Monday, as the right man, When arrested he said if he committed any crime he know nothing about it, but when he was con. fronted with the witnesses he turned very pale sad gave every evidence of mental disturbance, asking to be protected and declaring himself altogether tmnocent. ‘His trial will begin to-morrow, OFFAL IN THE BAY, WHAT THE STREBT CLEANING BUREAU HAS TO BAY ABOUT IT. The remains of ‘‘a striped cat and two white kite tens,” which Shore Inspector Cornelius Ferguson swears he saw on one of the garbage scows of the Street Cleaning Department ot this city, have been the source of a deal of trouble and excitement in that department, ag woll as among the residents and habitués of Coney Island, Bath, Fort Hamilton and Bay Ridge. For some time past the Coney Island beach and the Long Island shore, from Gravesend Bay to Bay Ridge, havo re- ceived the bodies of dead animals, which have been dumped somewhero in the bay and washed ashore, much to the disgust of the inhabitants of the dis- tricts, and they recently mado strenuous protests to Inspector Ferguson against a continuance of the nui- ance, Mr, Ferguson set about ascertaining who were the parties who dumped the carrion within the forbids den precinets, and, happening to spy “a striped cat and two white kittens’? on a scow employod by the Now York Burean of Streot Cleaning, made aM™davit at to what ho had seep and procured the arrest of th¢ captains of the scow and of the steamtug, Their names arc James A. Noyes, of the tug Cornell, and Thomaf Kelly, of the scow Thomas Sbeeny. The prisoner surrendered themselves, and wore held by Justice Church, of Fort Hatnilton, in $1,000 each to await thé action of the Grand Jury. Tbis occurred on Monday last, the chargo against them being that of violating tho State law by dumping offal and garbage in the bay without obtaining a permit trom the Shore Inspector, Not having their bondsmen at hand, they w com. mitted to the Raymond Street Jail, but, on farnishing the bail, were released yesterday. For the purpose of ascertaining the Street Cleaning jal pcb sido of the story, a Heratn reporter called upon Captain John Ganner, the Inspector of that Bureau, yestorday afternoon, and trom him obtained tho following statement :— The garbage collected by this department consists of dust, the conteats of ash barrels, the cleaning of Streets, &c., and that we dump one ond a half miles to the southeast of red buoy No. 16, which is said to be situated off Coney Islaad Point, This out of the harbor, and the Pilot Commissioners say wo have @ rightto go there. When Commissioner Nichols wi made Chairinan of the Committee on Street Cleanin which was about six weeks ago, the following order was issued to ipsare the garbage being discharged in the proper piace :— In sending scows tosen loaded with materials collected in street cleaning you will Instruct your officers. when going out to pass to tae right and south of red buoy No. lv, and thenes southeast one and a balf miles betore beginuing to untoad. Instruct the policeman sent with each tow ta report every negioct and violation of this order. Returning, iter unlouding, the tows will take the most direct route, Raving recard orders that ears bo tal dump that no dead animals, large or small, be Vourd the ceows, and instruct thy Inspectors of report overy instance of neglect of thix urder, You will see by this that we sent an officer with each tug, who had no other duly than to see that the stud vag emptied where it should be, Toshow you whether or noi We are particular in this regard let me say that some time agou charge was made that the tug R. W. Burke had been known to dump the ashes, &c., in the harbor, and this department sent me to the Pilot Com. | missioners with the request that they would prosecute | the captain. They refused to make the complaing | oa proper depth of water, You will also give fen In receiving the material at the laced on imps te however, saying that it would boa very difficult thing 10 prove. Notwithstanding their refusal, we dis charged the Burke frora our service merely on the as sertion that the captain was violating his orders, | Another thing, Buoy No. 16 has been shifted a mile aud a half to sea from where i¢ 18 placed on the chart, 80 that, in reality, we go so much further to empty our arbugh than is required by law. Icailed on she Pilot “ommisstonors to-day, to see if they knew who caused tho buoy to be shifted. but, while they admitted it has been shifted, they do not know who did it They say it shifted stselt. Captains Noyes and Kelly, who havo been taken inte custody, were arrested on a’ charge of carrying carrion, in violation of a law passed in 1875 to prevent contrac- torsirom dumping offal in the barbor. Mr. Frank Swilt, the offal contractor of this city, aud the Brooklyg contractor are supposed to convey the dead bodies of ali horses, dogs, cats aud rats thatare found about the two cities to a proper dumping ground. Mr. Swift takes his offal to the manutactories on Barren Isiand, and what be ts not relieved of there he throws into the bay, while, 1 am informed, the Brooklyn contractor bas no place in which to dispose of his. Ot course those bodies which are heaved overboard drift with the tide along to the Coney and Long Isiand shor and that 1s the real cause of the trouble. If acat an twe kittens were on one of our scows thoy got there by mistake, for our men aro ordered to take po such things aboard, aa they are particular about it, ‘Tbey might have been tossed into some ash barrel and thos have been emptied into a scow, but you may be sure that if they had been seen they would not have | veen taken on the ecow, for we have no power to carry | them. A prominent hotel keeper at Coney Island | stated to Commissioner Wheeler the other day that the people did not object to what we dumped, but only to the bod of animals being washed up on the beach, We did not select our present dumping ground until we had consuited the Pilot Commissioners, We have only two tugs and forty-two scows, and they are most all old; so old, in fact, that they cad only go to sea in fair weather. They run a risk I going as far as they do. If they get ander way ani Bnd squaily weather coming on they are obliged to g im along the Bay Ridge shore and wait for a change. HOTEL ARRIVALS.
