Whether Garfleld hoped to he nominated or not, or whether some few of bis friends considered that be mlgbt bav. ehaaos, doea not alter the general fact tbat his nomination was an accident mora of an aoc Ideal than Polk's nomination by the Dem oerala la lata, Mr. Conkllng then persisted In bis acrlmooloas eoorse refusing to allow bia friends to have their part In tbe nomination when Low National Committee waa mad.

h. would begin and cloa. up all thee, quarrels, aad etrlv. to ralmpraaa hlmaelf on tbe country but bis temperament la probably past curing. From other sourors I learn the following as to relations with th.

next Benate Whll. th. Presidential contest was proceed Ing Mr. Doraey called on General Garfleld and suggested tbst 'the only wsy to h.v. th.

Senate organised la harmony with bia Admlala-tratloa was to extend the band of friendship aad reelproclty to shone. Garfield gave Doraey eorte MoacAe to do what h. liked on tb. question. Doraey tben sent General Loveland and Mr.

Frank Burr, of Martlns-borg, W. Va to Petersburg, to communicate with shone. They had hardly got there when Wlckbam, professedly a Republic) but no lover of Northern men or Northern views, together with Jorgeaon, members of Congress, began to write letters of excited protestation to tb. National Commute, against holding communications with Ms hone, and demanding that Loveland and Burr be taken out of tb. Htale.

Tb. Republican managers, however, vera aware tbat Wlckbam only rep resented another form of Bourbonlara. and that be and bis crowd wsnted th. Republican party In Virginia kept ao tbat It coold get th. wbol.

patronage or tbe eoerai uov rnment. Bat ft was aaceeaary to bav. tb. Senats In order to hav. a snccaafol Administration and 'George Oorbam was sent, after that, to aee Mahone.

He end other Republicans cams back, stating tbat Mabone's views were liberal and Just; that h. was somewhat fettered by tb. old atatna of thing. In Virginia, bat bad a sincere dislike to aristocracy end Bourbon Ism, and wanted to remodel Virginia on fair basis. Daring all the fall and early winter the conferences with tlahone were kept op, and be grew store late good ua derate ad Ing with the Republicans, and, being ostra cised at boms, saw that ha could accomplish nothing by shllly-sbally course, and bad better come out boldly and take all risks.

Accordingly, Mr. Gorbam went to aee Oar field at Mentor last week. He stopped In New York, and spent aa hour with Doraey, and took tha Western train. It Is believed be has mad. tb.

eonnaetloa folly between Mabooe and bis wing of the Democracy, and th. a.w Executive and the Senate will bo Immedi ately organised by tb. Republicans. Gorbani will bo Secretary ta piaco of Mr. Bureb.

James R. Young will tak hU old position of Exseutlve Clark. Wbat other changes are to he made le not known, though Mabooe man may bo slectsd Berg esnt-at-Arms. Aa ta tbe rsbrneC, It la also ball.ved that Mabone's views will bo considered if any Southern man Is to go into It. In that case it will be a Con federate.

Tb. necessity of keeping Conkllng orderly may yet result la the Secretary of th. Treasury being taken from New York Stale, aad It Is thought her. tbat Mortoaa chances ars better than thay bav. yst been.

H. has been both liberal and ehlvalrle In not forcing hlmaelf oa th. aratltad. of th. party, not antag onising nay body, aad with undoubted ex entire parts.

From on. and of tbl.Rtat.toth. other bis nomlnatloa ta tha Cabinet would he received with welcome, although b. la supposed to be Mr. Conkllng friend.

Yet It known that h. doe. not corse wb.n Conkllng curses, and that aa Secretary of the Treasury all Republicans, and. ladeed, all eltlseus, would receive conalderste treatment. Tbo fact that be le banker mad.

something of be woold pot aald. bia eoonee- tioa with bis bouse, and tt Is rather stupid to be ruling all man of financial succeas out of the financial eblcftalnablp. Almost every body admits that John 8 barman has been great Secretary of th. Treas ury, and that It will b. hard to repiaeo blm with man at oaco a politician and flnaoelsr.

Tb. application to pat Mr. Allison In tb. Treasury, or soma msn from tb. far Wast, was not conceived In patriotism so much as la opposition to sn.rman, who it wss feared would keep bis pIsco under Gsr- field.

To get blm out, tb. Ingenious argn- nisnt wss addreased to Oar field tbat tha East oosbt not to hav. tbciTrassury. since it a sppesred that bhermao la not to bav. place In Garfield's Cabinet, not much to left of the Far-Western dogma.

If Morton to not to so late tit. Cabinet. or take something agreeable and honorable to him, tb. party will be bard up for a rich aad liberal man at Its nest extremity. Uogb McCnllocb came out of baaklag-boua.

It to also said tbat Jay Gould recently sought to buy tbe Siar, Kelly's morning paper, which -to outside tbo Associated Press. Jay Gould, If be falls to consolidate with the Western Union Company, can probably sail ale Hdcs to tb.

All of a sadden Blaine has loomed Into commanding prom Inenoe, and It la dawning upon the minds ef th. office -seekers that ao indorsement from ths Mslne statesman Just now Is not a bad thing to bav. In the boose.

Of course there aro scores of Blaine's friends ho think hs makes a mistake in leaving ths Senate. Tboa. wbo are closer to him think not. If Blaine gets hair th. opportunities which hav.

been offered Everts, be will let the world know that at last the United States has a Secretary or Stato who will sea to It thst tbe American flag Is respected, and American subjects can find protection nndcr Its folds. The present Administration has allowed a weak Power like Spain to Are on Its merchant marine, and did nothing but, like my lady, protest. If Spain should repeat such as Indignity under Blaine's manage ment of State affairs. It mlgbt be reminded of It by a bombardment of on. or two Cuban ports, If, Indeed, th.

lalsnd wss not gobbled. Blalna will los. non. of his daab or flr. by being at th.

head of th. Foreign Department, aud If he could succeed la raising a breese with some Power for Just cause he would manage th. diplomatic part of It In such a way that Jim Blaln. would shine conspicuously in it. In the Senate Itlalne is st great dbuwlvantago.

His forte is In repartee. sarcasm and a running debate. Such a debate Is seldom provoked In tbs Senate. Ths Senatorial dignity and gilt-edged courtesy discountenance it, Uenoe, Blaine In the Senate Is liks a champagne-bottle corked all the while he Is waiting to have the cork pulled out. Bat Heuatorlal dignity will not loose the string 2 knd, aa a result, the bmt of Blalna re mains corked up.

There are manifold reasons why hs will shine to better advantage as tbe Premier ot tb. Administration. He baa tb. necessary wealth to entertain, and, with it all, th. agreeable accessories to make him a social liosw Aalav he wUl ba no stick with.

Gar- neJuVSVajw Jtaji ucrve arklca Taxt13 lacks, end will stiffen the Presidential verte bral column wbaais glros svidsno. of need Ing it. The new Administration will also be In sympathy wilb Blaine. The heeds of the Treas ury snd th. Interior Depsrtments will be In charge of men who have heretofore been Blaine's stanch followers.

As for the balance of ths Cabinet places, non. of them, sav. tbe Postmaster-General, exert much influence with aa Administration, with th. or bsv. much patronage.

In view of th. fact that Oarfleld haa chosen Blaine as his lieutenant, there I. a revival of th. story thst Blaine did telegraph his friends at Chicago to go to Garffeld If necessary to prevent Grant's nomination, when tb. break came.

It will be remembered, Eugene Hale voted tbe Main, delegation solid for Oarfleld, and gave tb. cue which carried th. wbol. Blaln. column after th.

bell-wether tb. asms way. SqaaallBBT. It's a late hour la th. gam.

for this Govern ment to com pi sin of being chested In the mailer ot tb. Halifax Ashery award. When In tbe Forty-fourth Congress th. Item forced In the Sundry Civil Appropriation Bill to pay Great Britain 1000,000, Ben Butler denouaud th. award as a swindle and op posed its payment.

There Is no doubt Uncle Sam was swindled but, bsvtng gambled on th. questions at issue In other words, submitted It to arbitration, and lost It paid the gambling debt. Recently, In a eorre- aponUeae. In a New York newspaper, Professor Henry Toale Hind, of Canada, charged fraud upon tha Canadian authorities; snd to-day th. attention of Congress waa officially invited to th.

charge by tb. submis sion of 'a resolution by Springer, directing the Secretary of Stat, to communicate all the correspond enee bad with Great Britain touch ing th. subject. Following this, Nswberry, of Michigan, mads a carefully prepared speech, alleging that. Great Britain bad played tb.

gum-gam. In th. matter. While th. feet to th.

United State, were cheated In the Halifax award. Great Britain waa given a Ilk. doss In th. matter of th. Geneva award.

Tbe bulk of this latter award is still la th. Treasury, waiting for Congress to ssy to whom it oeiongs. ureal Britain paid th. Gen.va award ewlndle without wincing. snd was heavily mulcted.

It looks now Ilk. a rather small game for a great nation with a hlg to be crying because It was "bunkoed' out of 100,000. Congress knew when It appropriated tbe money for its pay ment that Groat Britain ought not to hsve bsd It: but ths honor of tb. United States waa at aad It paid op Ilk. a little man.

It only makes the patlon rldloulous to no quarreling about the matter. Newberry's bun- comb, resolution appears In ths regular Congressional proceedings. tiger. The election of Representative Conger, of Michigan, to ths Senate an event which will take place within a fortnight gives th. Republicans some Utile alarm, and for this rea son: The district to wnien longer is accredited to In a Republican minority hen tb.

Democrats aad Greenback- era pull togetnar. xience, ii mere is fusion between tbe parties. Conger's seat will be Ailed either by -Democrat or National. In such event, the Republicans would hsvs difficulty In organising th. next Houae of Representatives, provided, of course.

the Greenback members refuse to caucus with the Democrats or Republicans. Should tho half-dozen Greenback era -el set to the Forty-seventh Congress quietly fold thslr arms end trade to tbe best advantage, It wonld be Impossible for either tbe Republi cans or IeiQOcraia xo organise us uvua-i without their aid. Tbe Republicans Appreci ate that tbe Democrats have now aa opportunity to capture thla district, end feel rather fearful tha th. Democracy may nave me good sens, to take advantage of what to open lo them. Sb Ay no's Keat-Xot Stanley's Tet.

Thompson, of Portsmouth, hav. been considering tb. pro priety of presenting his asm. for District At torney for the Southern District ot Ohio. Mr.

Neal, General Harry Whits and others called on ths President to-dsy, and bad an interchange of views as to this matter. The Presi dent Intimated a purpose to reappoint Chan- nlng Richards, although It is said hs bsd not definitely decided to do so. Judge Thompson Is strongly recommended by many of th. beet lawyers of Ohio, and bad his application been mads at an early day would hav. been very formidable.

As it it, no formal application will be made for Thompson, and there to no doubt of ths early appointment of Richards. The tieursamt ateewlata uav. fallen off of late. Tb. receipts for the current month to date demonstrate that th.

Secretary of th. Treasury will not boy any outstanding bonds other than the balance ot ths sixes of 1880. November 1. 183, there were outstanding ot these bonds. There were redeemed daring thst month 83.600,361, end daring Deoember $, 900,430.

leaves rUOSJoe outstanding. It to believed thst It will require all th. surplus revenues of th. eurrent month to meat these outstanding bonds. For this reason It la thought thst Secretary Sh.rmaa will make no purchases until February, If then, unless the Funding Bill passes at once.

ra. C-artstlasM-r, The gushing wlf. of th. Ex-Senator, has taken to her bed. She hss been under a severe mental strain since the publication ofber let ter, to her "Darling Edilberto." Her attorney will move to suppress th.

testimony of Giro, and th. published letters from the record of ths Court. It is nonsense, however, for Mrs, Christisncy tpdeny tbe genuineness of the let ters, for can be established beyond all question. Th. Star to-night describee Mrs.

Miss Meloy, and walk with her home, sometimes by ths Capitol. She sanlsted ber mother In her housekeeping, and the market ing wss done almost entirely by Mrs. Chrl tlsncy, who waa accompanied usually in her market trips by the colored servajit.

Dr. C. L. Blood, wbo figures ss the former friend of Giro, Is not the Dr. Blood who was connected with the Clantn-Woodhull busi ness, aa Is generally supposed, tliouch from all accounts he Is -much the same kind of a man.

He is said to be forty-five years of age, but looks to be not above thirty-five. He Is nearly six feet In height, snd Is well-built. with a fresh, fair complexion; a good suit of brown hair, which he wears. In carls, and Is very affable. It Is claimed that he baa been operating as a sort of confidence man, and that, although he has figured as an author having published UA Century of Life, Health and Happiness, by Blood, M.

that he haa no right to the title M. than that derived from BncUnnan, of Pblladelptii Why Fry. Withdrew.

An Interviewer asked Frye to-dsy why be withdrew, and his reply wss: "1 left ray Interests In the bands of my friends. I know nothing of wbat they have done, other than what la contained in the newspaper dispatch. As I said before, I suppose they hsvs with drawn my name, but I know nothing of It from them." nwela Touching tbe Tennessee Benstonhlp, there Is much perplexity.

Ward, who has since been employed In the New Orleans Custom house, and lately dismissed tor alleged Irregu larities, testified under oath before a Congres sional Investigating Committee that there was no.

corrupt means, so far as he knew, to influence the members of the Leglalsture to vote for Kellogg. The debate that ensued between Kellogg, Ben Hill and others was quite animated, the former denouncing the memo rialist as a liar, a thief and a perjurer, and pointed by reflecting upon Ben Hill's mo tives.
