6 WASHINGTON. Prospects of President Hayes’ Appoint- ments in the Senate. A HISTORY LIKBLY 10 REPEAT ITSELF. Schemers Working for a Prolong- ation of the Session. CHAIRMANSHIP OF HE HOUSE COMMITTEES Increasing Intricacy of the Louis- iana Senatorial Question. FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. Wasurncron, Oct 21, 1877. THE WAR ON THE PRESIDENT—HOW THE CABINET CAME TO BE CONFIRMED IN DE- SPITE OF OPPOSITION—A LESSON TO RECALCI- TRANTS, ‘There is a bit of history which may some day before Jong “repeat itself,” as the saying is. When the new Cabinot of President Hayes was an- mounced in the Senate last March the anger of the re- publican Senators was unbounded and undisguised. They bad heard strange and unwelcome doctrine preached from the portico of the Capitol in the in- @ugural discourse, but they bad been willing to over- Jook that, They did not know Mr. Hayes; very few of them had ever seen him. Hearrived in Washington only on the morning of the 3d of March, He saw, ef course, a great many people immediately, but tbey merely saw him, and those of thom who went to advise and instruct him tound him Politely receptive, but nou-committal unless he was pusited to the wall, They did not know that he nad made up hig Cabinet some time before he left Colum- ‘Dus, Indeed, the great guns of the Senate did not be- Lieve this possible, The Cabinet makers mado th Attacks—first in detail, then in force—but were gently repulsed every time, and at last the Cabinet was “sent in,”? ‘The first desperate anger of the Senators soon ect- Wed into a determination to reject the whole Cabinet. lt was very desirable to confirm a pew Secretary of the Treasury as soon possible, and it ts uaudl to confirm a Senator named to aCabinet office at Bnce, but a motion was made to refer even Mr. Sherman’s name to a committee, so strong was the determination to ‘smash tho whole slaw,” To the surprise of the leading recalcitrants they were unable to carry their motion to refer him, It 1s said that a number of democrats, though not inclined to vote for Mr. Sherman’s confirmation, yet @pposed tis reference, Thereupon the republicans tonfirmed the Secretary of the Treasury, the least ob- Jectionabbe man to them on the list. But therest were referred, ana it was determined to defeat them, Messra. Evarte, Schurz and Key were particularly hateful to the mutincers; they wouid have compro- mised.on the remainder, although none of them we: to their taste, A consultation of some of the leaders fm the mutiny was held, and they made up their minds tbat they coula carry out their aims if they could muke sure of the democrata How th would act was not known, but they were known to be very sore over their defeat, and ne- Gotiatious were very privately opened between some leading republican Senators and some democrats, The Jaster were caused to understand that if the democratic Senators would join in defeating the Cabinet tney should have a voice in the formation of a new one, Their wishes should be consulted—“‘anything to beat Hayes” In the irritated condition of mind in which the democrats found themselves at the ond of the electoral Gtruggle this suggestion struck some of them fs good, but when the matter brought before & private meeting of the leading Senators Mt did pot take them more than ten mip- utes to come to the conclusion that such a bargain waz not proper to be made; that it would not honorably be entertuined; that the new Presidenthad aright to such aCabinet us he might select, supposing them to be honorable men, and that whether the re- puolicans chose to oppose him or not in this matter the plain duty of the demccrats was to help the con- Qrmation. This conclusion was made known to those Tepublican Senators from whom overtures had come to the democrats and the immediate result was the complete downfall of the republican cabal, On the Boext day the republicans made haste to confirm the whole Cabinet, and it is belloved that every republican, Senator, except one or two, voted tor every member Of the Cabinet. While the struggle was stil going on, and when the jetermination bad been come to to reject the Cabinet, bews to this eflect was brought to the President at the White House, He showed on that occasion the cool- fess and self-possession which are his characteristics, for he replisd at once to the Senator who brought him the information “It is of no consequence, They will not be able to agree; donot alarm yoursef.”” Re had then been for several days under a severo pressure from many sources. General Logan’s friends asked for bim the War Department, and {t was under- Btood that Logan went so far as to signify that he was feady to adhere to the new Southern policy. Mr. Fryo, of Maine; Mr. Cragin, of New Hampshire; Mr. Kice, of Maseach usetts; Mr. Alcorn, of Mississippi ; Judgo Settle, ot North Carolina, and a pamber of othor persons had been vehemently pressed upon him for Cabinet places, The Cameron people had insisted that Mr. Don Cam- eron sbould be retained and had gone away bitterly offended at the President’s jocose suggestion that it they insisted be would give Wayne McVeigh (un antl- Cameron man) a piace to represent Pennsylvania Finally, it was said at the time, a delegation of inilu- ential Senators waited on him in a body to make hin breuk his siate, and went away, after several hours, utterly defeated. He know, therefore, that those he had denied were not incapable of rejecting his nomi- ations; but ne evidently saw that the matter aid not entirely with these mutters, Thus, it will be seen, the Cabinet was confirmed, ot by democratic votes, but by the honoravie refusal Of democrats to make themse: & party to the per- sonal resentments of republican, in consequence of this the republican meeting caved in and republican Senutors hastily confirmed the nomiuations they bated. Ina few days a number of important nominations Will be before tie Senate, and people here who ree momber how the Cabinet came to be so quickly and Qnanimously condirmed by republican votes are won- fering if the President 1 about to gain another vice lory over the auti-administration and gorehoad re- Publicans by standing firm and leaving them to strug: Glo Will they see themsolves compelled, unwillingly, to submit. [tis certain that be, at least, will not yield. He means, it is understood, to stand on bis constitu. Gonal rights, aud he asks Senators only to use their impartial judgments. He stands within the repubit Can party, aod be doos vot meaa to be crowded out of 11; but there 18 room outside ior anybody else, A PHOLONGATION OF THE CALLED SESSION YAVORED—THE HOUSE COMMITTEE 10 BR AN- NOUNCED— VARIETY OF RESOLUTIONS PENDING, Those who want the whort session to ran into the regular appear to be in the majority, particularly in the Senate, Senators desiring to use the presont svs- 8100 to prepare the work needed, #0 a8 to allow of un parlior udjourument next spring. A good many mem- Dors are also anxious to introduce pet schemes and fesolutions, which have to be got out of the way ber fore tho regular work of Gongross can proceed, It 18 said, for instance, that there are nowrly a bandred Rep Fesentatives aod Senators going out with some sort of Fosolutions oF bills about resumption, siver or the Currency in their pockets, all of which neod to be pro- @uced, read avd relerr before their authors ean sleep soundly. Tho “workingmen” also are to be covered with resolutions and donations by various patriowic members, It is understood, therefore, to-night that Mr. Randall Will appoivt all the committecs of tuo House, but itis NEW YORK not thought probable that he will announce them be- fore Thursday, and perhaps not until the end of the week. As soon as the Colorado case is settied in the House, perhaps before, anumber of skirmishing resolutions will be presented to the House trom one or the other side, intended to embarrass the opposite party. The democrats will introduce one approving of the Presi- dent’s Southern policy, and the rumor of this has so annoyed tbe republicans that @ consulta- tion bas been held to decide as to their course. Rumor says that only flteen repub- lican members of tho House have declared that they will vote for such a resolution approving the Southern policy, and thas it has been decided that the rest shall not vote at all, It is probable, however, that attempts will be made to amend the life out of the resolution, The republicans mean on their side to in- troduce a resolution condemning the President’s civil service order, hoping to get the democrats to voio with them, aud, at any rate, to annoy a good many of them. THE NEW YORK CUSTOM HOUSE APPOINTMENTS. It is probable that a resolution will appear in the House at an early day requesting the President to cowmunicate to the House all information he may have in regard to the condition of the Mexican border aud @ precise account of the number and kind of the so-called “outrages” and cattle raids committed within the last year, It ‘s now Ddelieved that Mr. Foster, of Westchester county, will bave the offer of the still vacant appointment in the New York Custom House, He 1s very highly recommended here by influential persons, aud it may bappen that he wilibe made Surveyor, leaving the Naval Office to Geveral Merritt, Lt wae Mr, Foster who, at the Rochester Convention, pro- tested in a very outspoken manner and in an ablo speech against Mr. Thomas C, Platt being made per- manent chairman of the Convention after Mr. Plats bad made his bitter attack on the administration. ————— FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. oe Wasuixarox, Oct. 21, 1877, THE LOUISIANA SENATORIAL QUESTION—INTEI- CATE PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED. ‘There appears to-night to be no possible end of the Louisiana Senatorial contest, First, the arrival of Mr. Pinchback will present the question of his eligibility to a seat in the Senate on the second set of credentials furnished him, the action of tne Senate in deciding that he was not entitled to a seat being based upon his original credontials, Next, should the Committee on Priviloges and Elections decide that he bas no valid claim to recognition, the informality of the credentials of Mr, Eustis will come up for con- sideration, and the acting chairman, Mr. Mitchell, said to-night that his case involved more important points than any that had come before the Senate for many years. The law requires the Legislature of a State to elect a Senator whenever a vacancy exists, The Louisiana Legislature is presumed to have resolved that Mr. Pinchback was not a legally elected Senator, and for that reason a vacancy existed when Mr. Eustis was elected, The record of the United States Senate shows that that body was deliberating upon this point when the election of Mr, Eustis is said to have taken place, and the questions involved are—First, whether itis competent for a State Legislature to delare a vacancy pending tbe application of a contest- ant with propor credentials; second, whether one branch of the Legislature is competent to do this, ‘as the election of Mr, Eustis was effected by the vote of the lower branch, the ate of the State of Louisiana resolving that a vacancy dia not exist; and, thira, whether, the action of the lower branch being sufficient, are the credentials of Mr. Eustis in proper form, being without the seal of the State and ouly certified copies of records of both branches of the Legislature and bearing only the seal of the Secretary of State for notarial purposes, Mr. Mitcbell, without expressing an opinion as to what would be the probable action of the com- mittee, said that with the particalar caution exer- clsed by the Senate {t would be difficult to accept such credentials as proper tn form or as to the record of the proceedings of the Legisiature of Louisiana, The inference plainly is that Mr. Eustis’ claim will not bo lavorably reported by the Senate committee, In regard to the Kellogg-Spofford contest, questions of a political character-will come before the commit- tee in discussing their claim, but thus far the only ex- pression of the committee hus been in favor of pro. ceeding with the hearing of the claimants and giving immediate attention to all matters bearing upon the contest. Senator Morton, who is chairman of the committee, while thoroughly informed of its proceeds ings both by letters trom the clerk, a brother-in-law, has not intimated as yet anything concerning the merits of eithor claimant. ‘When the committee meets to-morrow it will be determined what line of conduct shall guide the committee in coming to a conclusion. GOSSIP ABOUT THE CHAIRMANSHIPS OF THE HOUSE COMMITTEES. ‘The Speaker has not yet made up the committees, and he is uncommonly close and uncommunicative about his intentions, but there are various specula- tions afloat on the subject, and gossip says that the chairman on Waysand Means is likely to bo oither Mr. Fernando Wood or Mr. Hewitt; that the chair. manship of the Judiciary Committee lies between Mr. Clarkson Potter and Mr. Randolph Tucker; that Mr, Alexander H. Stephens will probably ve chairman of the Foreign Ailairs Committee, Mr. Cly- mer chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, and Mr. Roberts chairman of the Committee on Ace counts, In the making up of the Appropriations Com- mittee it is quite likely that Messrs, Hale and Foster among the Republican members will be retained from last session. THE LENGTH OF THE S£S8SION—DEMOCRATS UNEASY, The Democratic members of the House are becom- ing restive under tho uncertain length of the extra sesion, and a call will be made to-morrow for a caucus to decide whether the busin Sball be limited to the call of the President or allowed to take full legislative range. There are a number of lawyers whose business has been postponed and who aro appealed to to come home and look after tho intercats of thotr clients, The democrats recognize that the re- publicans in both houses are better in hand than their own forces, and the fear 18 that uador one pretence or another the democrats may absent themselves in the House and give the republicans a majority, Tno No- vember elections are also an attraction to draw off a good many members of both parties.

GENERAL GILLMOBE IN EXPLANATION OF TH NEEDS OF THE FOUNDATION. Naw Yorg, Oot 20, 1877. To tae Evitor oy tax HxxaLp:— Your Washington correspondent in to-day’s paper has been led into error in bis statement to the effect that the Board of Engtnecrs on tho Washington Monu- ment based their belief that the underlying soil pos- sessed insufficient resistance to support the woight of the finished structure, upon the simple assumption that the monument had settled a few inches. On tho contrary, they laid no stress upon that point, but formed their opinion upon a careful examination of the soil, which was found to contain a large excess of compressible clay. Experiments proved that even to small blocks, rigidly confined on the sides in iron moulds, it was measurably compressivle in two min- utes, under a weight equal to only two-filths of that now exerted by the monument and only about two- sevenths of what It will exert if carried up to the re- duced height of 400 feet, with the lightest walls com- putivlo with strength and salety. ‘The present weight of the monument (five tons per square foot) fs believed to bo @ maximum load for clay soils like that upon which it rests, and I know of no successiul attempt to erect @ stable structure of greater weight upon avy similar sui. Most claycy soils are Overloaded with four to four and a half tons per square foot The monument, when comploted with hight walls to a height of 400’ feet, will exert a pressure of a little more than seven tons per square foot, It tho underlying soil be supported against lateral displacement by a circumscribing wall and weightea for some mouths with an excessive load, it is believed that the sbaft can with salety be carried up toa height of 460 or even 500 lect, Q A.

To tus Eprtor or tHe Heratp:— We all know that Boston is the great brain centre of the United States, When I accepted an invitation to visit some friends at Chestnut Hill, six miles from the State House, I spent two months in preparation, read- ing Spencer, Huxley, &c., so that! might be able to converse with the Bostonians, But, doubtless, it re- quires a peculiar brain to edit a newspaper—an in- tellect which fish chowder does not nourish and east winds do not foster, Ita brain of that kind could be imported :nto Boston visitors would find the place le: like a country village with its one weekly paper. I understavd that the Associated Press of this city, which appears to be all the means of information that many of the duily papers possess, gets its aews through the New York papers, Not only tha but they report what tuey like and suppre the rest; So at least one would suppose from the peculiar mixture which one finds mthe Bostou jour- nals, For instance, after the late Republican Couveo- tion in New York State the newspapers here published Jong editorials denouncing Mr, Conkling in the most Violent terns, calling him a diegrace to the party, and the mildest name which was applied to bim was “a disappointed politiciau,’’ while the papers went on to y that by bis bitter, rash words, he had killed the republican party and carried tue State for the demo- crats, After reading such an editorial one’s fret im- pulse would, 0( course, be to read the speech which called forth such a tirade, Mr. Curtis’ was given first, nearly tree coluinny, and we we were also told wheu the audience jaughed und applauded, which was very Rratilying. Then, instead of printing Mr. Conkung’s Speoch, the report pretended to ive the subs stance of it something in this style (f have not the paper by me, so I cannot quote it verb: “Mr. Conkling proceeded to denounce M not mentioning tim by same, but uo- ly alluding to Lim in the most sneering and insuiticg way,’ und so on for nearly a column, not giving Mr. Coukiing’s words at all, but picking out parts of Lis speech here and there and putung any nstrucion on it which pleased Mr. Associated Press, Mr, Conkling may haye dono all aud even more than these papers reported to injure himself and bis party; but one would like to be allowed to read his speech and judge for one’s self, That is what they call reporting news in Boston, Since that Cou- Yention the newspapers have been filled with denun- cations of Mr, Conkling, but his speech has n ‘eported in & Boston paper, so far as | cap | ditoriai stated that it Sir, Conkling represented the republican party of New York Massachusetts re- publicans did pot belong to the same party. New York republicans must have telt extremely snubbed il by any chunce that remark was noticed by ony of them, But Massachusetts republi- cans cannot even tell what party they don’t belong to, anless they take the New York papers aod have read that much abused specch. Porhaps the cul- Lured and intellectual poople of this erty are above such @ vulgar matter as politics; or, more probably, editors and reporiers are to produce opinions for the people. Four ceuts a day for political opinions and no ques tions asked, That seems to be the state of tho axe. In the evening We are treated to a reu { the morn. ing wows and editorials, taken from some other paper generally. There was a procession here the 17th of last Septem- ber, There was nota man, horse, carringe or Kpight Templar in thas procession which was not recorded the next day in the paper. The cheers which greeted Generat McClellan as ho drove through the streets were deomed worthy of notice, Not ore Conkling’s speech, which those samo papers toll as had such a vast iniluence that it will make a split in the republican party.

PROSPECTS OF A NEW INDEPENDENT PARTY OPPOSED TO TAMMANY HALL—WILL PRESI- DENT HAYES’ FRIENDS GIVE THEIR INFLU- ENCE TO IT? At the present time Tammany Hall is the only local organization with county and Senatorial tickets in the field, if the bread winners be excepted, and the ele. ments of the opposition to Tammany seem to be in the greatest confusion. Will there be another party in the local fight—a streng party, composed of men whose very mes recommend them to the people, a party made up of the best of all parties, and cutting, so far as policy suggests, all political hacks—is a question which for the past three days has bothered many political wise- acres on all sides, Some vime or another New York city will bave a new local purty in the real interest of the intelligent voter, the honest citizen and the burdened taxpayer. Why not start, if it’ be only a start, now? This question has been quietly yet industriously put to mon of ali parties by no means Unacquainted with politics, whose oames will appear as the reader proceeds, A HgRALp ro- porter, receiving yesterday an inkling of this idea, set about learning how much there was in 1t, and was somewhat surprised at the result of his inquiries, It is not such a difficult matter, as tho ordinary voter supposes, for mon acquainted with political organizations, whose characters are stainless and whose names are synonymous with all thas means good government, to quickly get together, lay out plan, collect ames, discover growlers, and out of such material construct a party which will at least show its strength. ‘The writer had heard mentioned in this relation tho names of ex-Congrossman Robert B, Roosevelt (brother of the prospective Cullector of the Port), Thomas E. Stewart, ex-Congressman and chairman of the repub- lean organization variously known as the anti- Custom House party, the civil service reiormers and the Hayes republicans (in contradistinction of the Conkling crusaders); young Hummersley, wealthy, talented and ambitious of poiltical hou young William “Astor, James Lenox, of Lenox Library fam: young Goelct and such others of the same cla which, unfortunately for the city and State, have here- totore been regarued as above accepting public office ‘The success of he | Fish, a republican, aud that of young Wagstail, a democrat, belouging to the social Stratum, bas bad much todo with the growing feel- ing among the younger members of the oluest Now York famslies that they us well as any otbers—at least having as thoy Lave large Interest—slould have a voice occasionally in public affairs, WHAT EX-CONGRESSMAN STEWART BAYS. The reporter {ouvd Mr. Stewart at his apartments in the Coleman House late last night, and told him that ne bad beard such a movement was on foot Mr, Stowart was not at all loquacious, but it was quite evi- dent from his manner and from what he did say that thore was muck behind the move- ment in question, and that tho roporter bad struck a “load” in Mr. Stewart To an inquiry as to what he know about the movemont, he answored in his usual pleasant but cautious way, ‘1 don’t think I should speak mucn about the matter, particularly if ‘tisfor print’ There is more in it than at first ap- pears, but the action of the republican committee which je to meet at Mr. Phelps’ office to-morrow after- noen may knock onr plans in the bead. In politics, you know, above anything else, you can’t toll whata day may bring forth, particolarly in this fight as 16 now stande,’” “The outsiders didn’t treat your committee very courteously, | understand,” gaid the reporter. ‘They shut the door in its tuce, if rumor be near truth.’”? “Not exactly as bad as that,” replied Mr. Stewart. ‘Mr. Phelps told our sub-committes that he would notify them the next day when they waited upon him, Mr. Robinson and Mr, Pullman were the sub-committee, He failed to do so, After all we do not (eel hurt, for it seems to bhve turned outa bear garden, We hold our own organization, thorougniy made, and we are await- ing results, If certain nouimations are made it is pos- sible—possible, 1 say—that othor elements may com- bine with us and we sbail have a ticket of our own,’’ “What are the nominations to which you refer? Will you namo one of them f”’ inquired the writer, “You must remember,” answered Mr, Stewart, smilingly, ‘that I am only speaking for myzelf. I can: not speak for the organization [ represent, as I havo bad no real expression of opinion from its m bers yet. 1 wouid instance one nomination, however—tnat of Mr. Murphy for the Registership. {f that is made it 18 possible—possible, you know—that we wiil hitch horses with another team and run a ticket, For Mr. Murphy, personally, | bave much respect, and per- sonally, too, Ihave every reason to think kind of him.

I think I can safely say that we will not support Mr. Murpby if be 1s nominated “How about Mr, Hess? Whore will your people stand should be be nominated?” Well, Mr, Hess 18 less objectionable for many reasons, but I fear a good many of us would cut him, Alderman Howland, who has been mentioned, is tarred with the old Custom House brush. No man has beon bamed whom we can honestly, consistently and col- lectiveiy support tor the Registership.”’ “Where is the otber organization you speak of, or aro you trusting to pick up stragglers?” “All the stragglers we can get, ol course—and de- peod upon it tbere are soreheads in all parties this year ready to take hands with a new organization properly composed. 1 have seon Mr. Robert Roose- velt. He seems confident that he cun easily revive the old Democratic Union, of which he was chairman, Others, equally reputable and responsible gen democrats and republicans, seem ready for a wi ty, a citizens’ party in the best sense of the term, “With the big heads off in the Custom House, you Hayes republicans may make a respectable fight in the county with @ combination.

Over acigar Mr. Robert B. Roosevelt discussed the question of a new local party. He had seen Mr. Stewart, was non-committal as to the policy of the party Mr, Stewart represents; but with that Oghting frankness which has characterized his political career he was Joud in giving his support to such of the old Demucratic Union citizens of New York, and particularly so to the many mon who have held power apd who now hold it becaage of their connection with that party. The expected appointment ol his brother, Theodore Roosevelt, to the Cullectorsbip, makes his interview in connection with the formation of anew party suggestive. Mr. Roosevelt’s opinions may be brieily put as follows:—“1 am heartily in favor of a new pariy, dependent on no contingencies whatever. We must come to it some time, and wo may 4s well begin right now, A party com, of trusted men, whose character and interests will bo guarantees that they will do t and serve the people for the bonor of serving them inast eventually win, AS & proprictor of the old Citizen, which Charles Halpine edited, I used to know something of newspapers, and I think the HeRALD, above any one paper, can make such a fight. Unlike a good inany papers, 1¢ can afford to do right,” “Well, what do you suggest with regard to a new party?"” “Simply this, that we now begin with that party; putin nomination for county offices the very best men attaiuable, men of all parties, mon of all creeds, men of all nutionalities, but men who will honor any office. If am sure such men can be had. In this morning’s Hxxato | see @ card abo the Registersbip, stating that for fifteen years—ive terms—it has not veeu bela by an American voro citizen. Isu’t that a curious thing in a city contain. ing so many citizens of Ameriean birth ?”” You, or the party you propose, tavors nothing that smaeks of Knownothingism ?”” * said Mr. Roosevelt, iaaghing heartily, can never be accused of that, I believe all we have and all we are to have as a nation has becn gained for us by the proper treatment—the gen- erous treatmen I ma y—given foreigners, but 1 don’t believe in being ashamed of being an American, and 1 really think that they are en- titled to as mnch consideration—no more—as any else. Will goy one say (nat Americu have received such consideration jn this county—consideration proportionate to their iu. teliigence, wealth and influence? They alone are to blame for this 1 admit, They should ask their own—no more, no less, On the other band, we ali could well be proud if our Irish or our German fellow citizens put up tuoir best men, They could be ieulurly proud; but they doo’, San you revive the democratic union and make It cleus for a new party 1? Very easily, and we will have young men of m The victories of the democratic union are not iorgotieu, andthe party I may claim is ouly dormant. It bas been waiting for the purification of Tammany, and has been dienppointed, and then for an opposition with it could consistently strike bands, and none bas come, Ob, yos; it can easily be revived.” “Would sach @ party as you propose have any help— that ta, the Stewart wing of it—from the new Colloc- tor?” “Ab, L can’t eay about that, You knowl am on the other side of the political fence—a democrat, 1 am afraid he will bave a bard time of it, for, throwing aside my natural love for him, I think be will to do what is Fight, and any man whe tri to do that in the Custom House will not have an easy time of it. The oldest and shrewdost man- or, however honest, would be puzzled to do right under the oof affairs that exiets there’? Mr. Roos indicated to the reporter many reputable gentlemen whom he seemed con- fident would jon the propowed party, and among them Were some of those mentioned In the beginning ol thisarticle, Just now the proposition of a now local party will be received with surprise, but that such On Organization ts iutended, and that eurnest mon are interested in the movement, are indisputable facts. ASSEMBLY NOMINATION, Rocuxsren, N. ¥., Oct, 21, 1877. Tho republicans of the Third Assembly district, Mone Foe, have nominated James Chuppol, R 22, 1877—WITH SUPPLEMENT, (ALLEN ©. BEACH. AN INTERVIEW WITH THE DEMOCRATIC CANDI- DATE FOR SECRETARY OF STATE ON THE PROSPECTS OF THE CAMPAIGN—A DEMO- OBATIO MAJORITY OF FIFTY THOUSAND PLE- DICTED, Mr. Allen C. Beach, tho democratic candidate for Secretary of State, arrived in the city yesterday. A reporter of the Heaarp paid a visit to the gentioman last night, at the St, Nicholas Hotel, and, in the course of @ conversation on tho political campaign, Mr. Beach said that he had not the slightest doubt that the democracy would carry the State by a majority of 60,000, He said that he had been in many of the towns recently, had conversed with a goodly number of democrats, and he had been rather surprised at the determinution that was manifested to come out and vote, He thought that for un “ofl”? year there would be a remarkably large democratic vote cast, and he founded this anticipation on the deep seated disgust everywher ifested by democrats at being cheated of th dency last fall. ‘They felt that they had worked very bard for the election of their candi- date, that they had really elected tim and that they had been cheated out of the reward of their labors, ‘Thig Was & Wrong that they determined to take the first opportunity of avenging. ‘Tho Southern policy ot tho Fresident was accepted by them, but that did pot obliterate the sense of wrong that bad been done, He believed that tho effect of this teeiing would be seen in a very remarkuvlo manner this year, and it was upon the univers.) preva- lence of this sentiment in the State that he based his expectations of so large a democratic majority. He bad no doubt, he said, that the State, outside of New York city, would give a consider democratic ma- jority. anti-Tilden men and ¢! jen men, the old ticket men and she new ticket men were now united ip action for all practical purposes in this cam- puign. He did not think the dissensious tn New York city would affect the general result very considorubly. There bad always bocn dissensions in the party in New York ever since he bad known a but be did not think that New York city or local troubles would affect tho general result, 1 was very evident from bis observation in the State that the re- publican party felt itself demoralized, There was no enthusiasm mapifested about their ticket, and the Conkling tactics at Rochester had had tho effect in mupy of the republican county conventions of pro- voking an indorsement of the administration, Conk- Moy was in possession of “the machine,’’ but it did not work smoothly, 1t was not likely thut the repub- Hicans would come to the polls this fall in very great ngth, but he repeated that he based bis expecta- tions of @triumpbaut democratic victory not on this fact alone, A great victory for the democrats was un- questionably assured by the invincivie determination of the democrats and of muny fair minded republicans to place on record their detestation of the Iraud that had been perpetrated in tne Presidential election, JOHN MORRISSEY'’S NOMINATION, Senator Morrissey was found in his room yesterday chatting with a friend and apparontly not at all con- cerned about the position he will take in regard to his nomination or candidacy for re-election to the Senate, He did not seem inclined to discuss politics, but Snally consented to enter into the following conversation :— Rerortar—I see you were nominatod for the Senate by the Anti-Tammany Convention in the Seventh Senatorial district last night, Mr. Morxissxy—so | see by the newspapers, Reportsx—Do you intend to accept the nomination? Mr. Morgiaser—I do, provided that all of the elo- ments opecned to Tammany Hall, and who profess to want to beat it, unite. Suppose the republicans should make a nomination, Whas would you ao then’ Mr. Morissxy—I woald not run. The district is democratic by from ton thousand to twelve thousand majority. There can be no third nomination mado that would not result in bonefit to Tammany Hall, Reportsr—lt is reported in ove of the morning papers that Mr. O’Brien willrun tor theSenate as your Opponent if you are in the fleld. Mr. Morrissky—On, that can’t be so, as he wasa candidate before the Convention for the nomination, ‘The motive that it was done in tho interest of Tam- many would be so apparontto everybody that when he feflects upon the position sucha course would place him in he must abandon the idea, even if F seriously entertained it, THE GERMAN VOTERS. The regular meeting of the Executive Committee of the German-American Indopendent Citizens’ Associa- tion was neld yesterday at No. 200 Third avenue, Judge Otterbourg presiding. Previous to the meeting the Conference Committee assembled to hear a report from their sub-committee as to their action at the joint conference on Saturday night regarding the county nominations, The sub-commitice reported that thoy had opposed the nomination of Thomas Murphy for Register, according to instructions, and that they banded in to the joint conference the name of Henry Claussen for Aldermao-at-Large. Tho action of the sub-committee was approved, and should Mr. Claussen retuse to ran for Alderman the name of Major G. HL Sauer will probably be substituted in his stead. The moeting of the Executive Committee was then held, and Dr. Gercko offered a resolution that a committee of twenty-two, one from each Assembly district, be named, who shall supervise all the matters connected with election day, such as printing of tickets pro- curing boxes and men and other details. The resolu- tion was carried, mr. Hoary Weble offerod a long document in the shape of a resolution. [t set forth the present condition of the workingmon, and attribu- ted the stato of affairs to bad government und a dis- regard of tho workingmen’s rights, It also alluded to the cigar makers’ strikes now going on, compared the duties of capital and labor and advocated the nomina- tion only of such candidates for office as shold piedgo themselves to procure legislation looking toward a remedy of the workinginen’s troubles. The paper caused quite a discussion, and it was argued that it It with too many subjects. It was finally referred to a committees with power to act on it, Then a long and iniormal discussion ensued on the best men to nominate for local offices in tt arious districts, after which the meeting adjourned.

BEDCLOTHES AND CHINAWARE. A Will Case that Made a Row in a Family. The Hendrickson wi I! case, which has just been de- cided 1n Monmouth county, N. J., before Judge Scud- der, is full of piquant details. Cornelius Hendrick. son was an oysterman st Fair Haven, near Red Bank, who amassed a snug property in his business, and died last spring, aged sixty-five. In 1865 his first wife died, leaving three children behind her—Mary Jano, Samuel and Charies, Mary Jane had been married, and was then Mra, Chadwick. In a few weeks alter his wife’s death he married again, and at bis death it was found that, while he had provided moderately well tor his sons, he had left the bulk of his property to his second wife, Deborah, and his child by her, an¢ cut off Mary Jane with $200, Mary Jane entered s cavent against the will, and set up the plea that it was made through the undue influence of hie second wife, Counsellors’ Robbins, Trafford and Gor. don appeared ior the. caveator, and Coun- sollors Haight and Allen for the will, There was a large array of family and friendly partisans of each of the parties in the court room, which was filled during each of the three uays the trial occupied, Mary Jano was in tears through. out, while the fair widow was smiling and serene, After formal proof of the will had been made by the subscribing witoesses Mary Jane took the stand. She said that before her mother’s death her fath bad built her a bouso and that he promised tor mother on her deathbed to give her a deed for it and to make his future home with her; her mother was buried on Wednes- day; on the next Sunday week her father went across the Shrewsbury River to Captain Brown's, and went to church with him and his daughter Debby, who was then a pretty young widow of about Mary Jave’s age and was a niece of his aeceased wite, He etuid all night and next day he asked Mary June what kind of a bousckeeper she thought Debby was. Sho did not know and he told her he bad hired Webby for ayear, She was installed next day and Mary Jano went indignantly home, Two w terward, and within two months after her mot 's death, she beard they were married. Her mother nad left her a set of china with a gilt band anda quilt which was an old heirloom. She did not get them till f1x months afterward, and then th the handles broken o1 by design, Two yoars ago ber father turned her out of the house which she had for years looked upon ag her own, and went to live in it with bis new family, WHAT BECAMB OF THE BEDCLOTHES, Maria Ward, a fat but firm woman, who lived at Mr, Hendrickson’s shortly after his second marriage, heard Debby tell him that Mary Jane bad carried off ail the bedclothes with her, and they had to buy new ones, which the witness made up; but she bad soon’ Dobby’s folks take n bundie of things across the river u week before. Debby, she sul seemed to be very foud of the old man. @ woul ‘and hog him and make much of him and call him “Poppy, dear,” and ull such things. Poter Wilbour, a neighbor, had a talk with tho old man before he died about hie will, Debby had asked him to stay while she went to Red Bank on ancrrand. He stayed, bul found that she had’boen all the while listeniug at the door, When Poppy spoke to her about it she cried and said it didn’t make any diflerence whether he left ber anything or not; she could work in some gentie- man’s xitcben, In his opinion the old man could be led bya very fine bair if she was at the other end of it, He was uncommopnly tond of her, Eliza Parker, a dressmaker, made black dresses for Debby and hor child about a week betore he died, She said Poppy. wan to see her in ee he died, to see how she looked. “If dics Thursday,” she said, ‘nell be buried Sun- day, and I want you to hurry and, get them done as soon as youcan.”” The plaintif’s coune sel wanted to prove by this witness the change in Debby’s demeanor, whereby, as ho put it, “as soon as he was laid under the clods of the valley she kicked up her heels like a lamb in a pasturo, eo her object was accomplished;” but the Court would not listen to evidence about Debby’s friskiness, 4N BARLY VISIT TO “POPPY,’? The liveliest kind of testimony was given by Chariem L. Hendrickson, a younger brother of the plaintiff, who lived with bis father for several years after the second marriage. He satd seo she was rath free round Poppy just aftershe came there, a settin' on his lapan kissin’ him occasionally, an’ I thought there was somethin’ wrong about it It hap. penod right off after she came—a sudden at- tack. So I concluded I’d watch, an’ one night I hid at tho head of the stairs. 1 see her come up’stairs with the children an’ then go down staira again, an’ I slipped down after ber, She went to his bedroom, went in, and bolted the door. I sot up all night on the corner of tho lounge a waitin’ for her to come out. So about the broak of day the door uo- she come out an’ passed right by me got up an’ tapped her on the shoulder an’ said, ‘Good , Debivy; you're up rather early this mornin’.? ‘God |’ sue says, aa’ started an’ run back by father’s room, an’ up through the girl’s Toot an’? up where the children wi an’ locks herselt in, un’ never showed herself till the afternoon. When sbe did come down I toid hor she bad to prove to me whether she was married or not, to save her credit, She sau @ was married. This was a couple of weeks betore the time they went to New York an’ come back an’ claimed they were married. 1 went right into father’s room the same mornin’ an’ talked to him, ‘Well,’ says he, ‘what alla our’ ‘Well,’ says I, ‘I think there’s enough, didn’t think har'ly that Debby was crawiin' into the bed with you so soon alter my mother’s death,’ ‘Well,’ says he, ‘wo're married! But he foliowed me out to the barn an’ beggea me not to report it round the place, He said he'd give me four hundred bushels of oysters an’ plant ’em for m@ if Pd keep it still 1 kep’ pretendin’ I’a tell; but I folt ashameder than he did, an’ | finally promised not to tell, an’ 1 did keep it still an’ never let it be known forayear. Alter they went to New York she began ‘o kiss bim an’ bag bim more an’ more, an’ thi she’d turn ‘round to me behind his back an’ suck her tonguc out at him to me an’ her movher an’ laugh at bim an’ make fun of bim behind his back.’? Charles went ou to say that Debby prom- ised him that if be would go with bor againgt his brother and sister be should have his full share, Ifho dido’t get it under the will she would give it to bim alterward, and her mother toid bim the sume thing. She told Lim Poppy wasn’t fit for any business and s could just wind uim ’round ber finger. used to put Poppy ugaiust Mary Jane every way sho could. Un one occasion, when 6 had persuaded Lim to ofler & be for — sale, met bi atthe dock on his return from a trip to the oy: page aud, alter kisaing bim affoctionately, tole im that ‘a mao named Murray had been dissuaded from buying the house by Mary Jane, woo told him tt was haunted; whereupon he said, “It beats the devil that Mary Jane will work so hard against me. [il fix her for (vat? On another occasion he brougut bis sun a letter from Mary Jane, which be said Debby had read to bim, he thought it was very strai that Mary Jane should write him such ao abusive letter, telling him tuke his house and go to hell. Charles and found that it contained no whatever, but was perlectly r said Debby bad read it different from thi Debby afierward toid Charles about the abusive letter, aud he laughed at her und said {t was something of hor own getting up. On one occasion, when Mary June scut her father somo cherries, Debby told him ho had better not eat them; they migut be poisoned, The old man, who was very penurious, would talk freely bebind her back about ber oxtrav. ngance. Charles bad seen bim throw bis hat on dock and Jump on tt with both feet and curse the day that be married ber; but the moment she met him and kissed him and rubbed bis forehoad and said, “A-w-w, Poppy !? that would end tt, There was some jurthor testimony to show Debby’s ill-will © Mary Jane and ber influence used wito Poppy against her, Mary Jane’s tears flowed alreab at each reminder of her woe, while Debby smiled and never shed 4 tear. KICKING DOWN THE BULWARKS, old associ For the defence a number of Poppy 08 were called to prove that he was a man of unbenaing will, Woo Could not have been influenced by Devoy un- duly. To several of them he had said that in consequence of Mary Jane’s writing bim that impudent jetier and for her otuer ill be- bavior she should never get a cout from him, Louisa Parker, who attended bim in bis last illness, said he told her that he bad made a will and built the vulwarks strong aud put it under « good captain, This ‘was supposed to refer to Counsellor Robert Alien, Jr., of Rou Bank, one of the executors, who drew the will, He told ber be supposed they would try to kick dowa the bulwarks, but he did not fear the result’ His son bad come to the house und abused him, and he tuought Mary Jane had put them ap to ft, He never wanted to see her again, but desired to be left to die in peace. He told Mrs. Parker (urther that he had di+ rected Mr. Sebley to go and get the black dresses, knowing that they would soon be neoded. ‘THR VRISKY DRHRY'S SAY AND TRIUMPA, Debby testified with perfect self-coalideoce and com- Mand. She prodaced her marriage cortificate, @igned by the Rev, dir, Ridgeway, of the Washington Strees Methodist Episcopal Church, in New Yorx, and denied the story of Charles about b ely. Her Ddiandishments bad not been upon Poppy unauly, nor had she sought to against Mary Jane. ‘He bad forbidden Mary Jano the uouse because Mary Jane bad abused her and spat in her face, and the boys had made several rows in which sbe bad been beaten and wbused. She denied in detail all that Mary Jane and Charles alleged.
