The administration managers are quite excited
over reports which they generally credit that the
recalclirant republican Senators, with small num-
ber OF Representatives and the pronounced revenue
agitators and editors, Wells, White, Gr0svenor and
company, who were here last week, have entered
into alliance offensive and defensive against the
administration. II Is asserted by shrewd men that
the tune has come to defeat the plans for the Presi
dents denomination and to virtually secure control
Of the party organization lor the wing they direct
and represent. 1t Is stated that consld-
cradle fund has been raised, and that head
quarters Will be opened here Immediately
after the recess. Their plans include extended
operations through the press. 1t Is declared that
all efforts are to be concentrated oh btaining con.

speculation goes 50 far to declare that to make
their ant-Grant campaign success the reformers
will willingly coaiesce on the vice-Presdent,
MI. COlfax, as their candidate, hoping
thereby TO secure the steady support

g. G. Bowen ON the Failure of the In,peach-
mcnt Of Governor scott, OF South Caro-
lima.
Mr.. c. C. Bowen OF South Carolina, VINO Is the
contestant for the OF De Large. In the House OF
Representatives, ana also q member OF the Assem-
bly, OF his State, is in the city looking after his in
terests In Congress. The account which he gives Of
his attempted impeachment Of Governor scott and
state Treasurer Parker has some very amusing
features. Scott Is now worth half million, and
Parker not less than three hundred thousand
dollars all OF which has been acquired IN the last
live years. Mr.. Bowen says neither OF them has
pretended to deny the truth of the charges on
which his Impeachment articles were founded,
but that they have sought by means as
bad as those employed by them in
the operations OF which they are accused to escape
punishment SO far are they averred 10 be from
denying the charges that the Governor 1t Is SAID In
private places the whole responsibility upon Par
ker making himself appear the victim, while the
state Treasurer is said occasionally to retort by
saying that Scott shared in the profits, and II ne
goes down Scott must 60 down with him,
I Bowens explanation of the manner in which hts
impeachment scheme was beaten is. to say the least
OF 1t, curious. II the measure was to be carried at
AL It was plain 1t could not be carried till after the
holiday recess, and many OF the friends OF impeach-
ment went home with the understanding that no
vote was to be reached till after the reassemb Ing
OF the Legislature in January. No sooner were
they out Of the way than the speaker
OF the Assembly, alleged to have been coerced by
threats OF the Governor took the reIns into his own
hands, and, In defiance OF Parliamentary usage,
forced vote on the measure. Speaker Moses Is
understood to be completely in the power OF Gov.
ern0r Scott and on the day before the adjournment
ol the Legislature, Mr.. Bowen says the latter In
formed Moses that unless he forced vote
on the impeachment proposition, when IL
was certain 10 be defeated, lie should be sent
10 the Penitentiary. Bowen partially explains the
defeat Of his proposition on the ground that, as
many Of the members were needy and could not GO
home for the holidays unless the State Treasurer
furnished them with the funds. they we're easily In
duced to go against impeachment; but besides
this potent influence, he says money was quite
freely used, votes being purchased prices ranging
from $500 to $4,000 Nothing dannted by his defeat,
he intends beginning over again when the Lcgis-
lature reassembles. which viii be on the 5th OF
January.
