WASHINGTON, June FL am authorized
by Senator Fowler TO deny emphatically
the statement that he made the speech in
January last, as alleged by Kelly, but il
was Kelly himself who made remarks of
that character. Senator Fowler is now
preparing letter, addressed TO the people
of Tennessee, in relation to this matter,
showing coneusively that during the en-
tire Impeachment proceedings he ID re-
fused to give any iniimation whatever of
his views.
A letter has been received here by his
friends from the Hon. Geo. II. Pendleton,
in which he authorizes the withdrawal Of
his name as a candidate for the Presidency
whenever in their Judgment another can
didate evidences greater strength. Han.
cocks friends have determined TO pursue
the same policy, thereby securing perfect
harmony in the great Democratic Conven
ton. azg.- arA EHr1H&H Fl
Many soldiers proved themselves white
men yesterday by voting against Grants
future ticket Radical Judges of the cleo
ton attempted to disallow large number
of ballots because, they alleged, that the
Democratic ticket was compelled to adopt
this method Of casting their ballots through
fear of being mobbed or subjected 10 viO-
lence byothers. The Radicals after having
disallowed large number OF ballots claim
that their tickets elected by seventy-four
majority.
The negroes traversed all the principal
streets of the city to-day in carriages,
bearing flags and huge placards, upon
which were Inscribed the names of "Grant,"
'fRowen," and Victory" 1t is now ascer-
tanned that at least two thousand legal
votes were not polled yesterday. The
negroes had possession Of the polls during
the morning and evening, whilst their
white brethren of the Radical persuasion
interposed every species Of delay, prevents
| ing the whites from polling their full
strength. Thus il seems that the Radica Is
are determined to obtain and retain power
in direct violation Of the will OF the people,
and at any aad all hazards. immediately
after the election, il is asserted, the ballot
boxes were placed in the hands of Forney
and left to his superior manipulations.

Z WASHINGTON, June 2.-Builer & Co
had Col. Cooper and Cornelias Wendell
before them to-day. The former testified
that $500 had been raised in Baltimore
and Philadelphia for the purpose of dona-
ton TO the Presidents counsel, but it wss
without the Presidents knowledge. Wen
dell subsequently, cOrrOborated this state
meni and said he regretted he was unable
to add thousand TO it, Batter Estimated
il was a large fee, and Wendell rejoined Ii
was quite small for such eminent counsel.
z Butler presented telegram TO the witness
signed, &c. w." and asked il il was his.
WeAdell declined answering, and Butler
threalered TO consign him 10 prison to keep
Woolley company. "NO you won't" said
Wendell "you have one white elephant
on hand now, and don't know what to do
withit" esparring between Wendell aud
Butler was rich, and the beast was glad 10
let him depart. This investigation is no
longer a live topic, and presents no features
of public interest. aa
Staubery's rejection as Attorney Gem
eral il severely criticised by all decent
Radicals. He had arranged 20 return 10
Kennedy, but Last Wednesday the Presi-
dent insisted on his returning to the Cab
met and he yielded TO the Presidents
solicitation. The latter is astounded at the
rejection, as he believed the Senate would
no longer make war on him. Stanberry
leaves for Kentucky on Thursday.
Edmund's joint resolution in the Senate
to-day is another step in the revolution.
Il Is a proposition that the electoral votes
Of Southern States shall not be eonnted in
the next election. unless Congress shalt
have decided they are organized according
TO the reconstruction acts. The simple
meaning is that il they do not go Radical,
The purpose il 10 exclude the vote from
the Electoral College. The resolution was
referred to the judiciary Committee.
The Radicals succeeded 10 eleciing
Bowen Mayor by fraud. A number Of ed
ncated negroes voted the Conservative tiek-
q, and we're sci on by a mob, aud with DIFF !
