The IateLRgsncsr suggests that Mr..
r. II. COCHRAN is editing and con-
trolling the columns Of the REasTER"
in the interest of the Wheeling and
Lake Erie railway. If it would add
anything to the force of the arguments
adduced in this paper in favor of the
two great enterprises now before the
people for the impression to 60 abroad
that they were written by Mr.. COCHRAN,
we would have DO objection to his re-
ceiving popular credit therefor. If
however it would detract anything
from the force Of our advocacy of these
enterprises to suffer the InteHigencsr' S
assertion to 90 unchallenged, we most
emphatically deny that Mr.. COCHRAN
either edits or controls this paper in
any respect whatever. As the result of
careful personal investigation We ar.
convinced that the Wheeling and
Lake Erie railway company and the
bridge company are both worthy Of
confidence and that the improvements
they propose will be worth to this city
much more than our people are called
upon to subscribe. We have therefore
urged and shall continue to urge the
voting Of the subscriptions that will
make these advantages secure. The
editors Of the RseIsrER are alone
responsible for whatever has appeared
in our editorial columns upon this sub
iect.

WEST VIRGINIA CONGRESSMAN
NOT FOR GREELEY.

The following letter will explain it.
SELF The statement in the Enquirer
escaped our notice or We would have TAX
en- the liberty of correcting it at once, so
far as Mr.. DAVIS is concerned, for we
already knew his views in relation to
the matter. 1t is better however to
make the disclaimer in his own vigor-
Gus and emphatic words.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. May %.
Editors Of the Register:
In the Cincinnati Enquirer Of the
Goth inst, under the head Of Special
Dispatch to the Enq4irer,' wherein the
position Of members Of Congress is at
tempted to be classified, the following
statement appears, viz: 1.-THE two West
Virginia members support Greeley"
As far as my position as one Of the
Representatives from West Virginia is
concerned desire to say, and hope you
will announce ii, that said statement is
in every particular false and without the
shadow of foundation in truth. Att no
time, either before or since his nomina-
ton, could support Horace Greeley. |
should regard his acceptance by the
Baltimore Convention as disastrous to
the Democratic party and sure to result
in defeat; and if by any chance he
should be elected / should regard his
election to the executive chair as most
serious calamity to the whole country.
I have never had the least sympathy or
respect for the so-called Liberal Con-
vention or it's nominees, and am fully
convinced that the only hope of defeat
ing Grant is by nominating a StraiJht
Democratic ticket at Baltimore upon a
platform of no sguivocal character IN rs
enunciation Of the fundamental truths for
which Democracy has always battled.
| write hastily, having just perused the
paper, and with the hope that you will
correct this most outrageous faIsehood
in your columns.
Truly yours,
JOHN J. DAVIS.
PSI am authorized by Major
Hereford to say that as to him the
statement is equally false, and l will
add here that under no circumstances
will support Greeley or any other Re-
publican for President. If the Demo
cratic party, unmindful OF the traditions
of the past aud unfaithtul to its high
mission, shall conclude to commit hari.
kari at Baltimore, | shall be no party
to the outrage. J. j. D.

complied with the treaty: You entered your
counter case; therefore We shall proceed to Il
decision
Earl Granville suggested that, whether the
counter case was presented or not, the Irhitra-
tors might 30 on with the business Of ar5itra-
ton.
ELord Wcstbury wanted the jurisdiction Of the
Geneva tribunal determined.
Earl Granville reiterated that lie bad been
careful to put the point so that England would
not be compromised in the matter of indirect
claims, and that the United States government
had Siguifcd its agreement to this understand
ing.
The marquis of Salisbury regretted that the
government had abandoned the last chance Of
protesting against the exercise by the Geneva
board OF Jurisdiction over indirect claims; be-
cause the arbitrator might award a lump sum
without specifications.
The duke Of Somerset said the government
course seriously impcrllGd the COuutry's posi-
ton. The government should have refused to
present its courier case until the claims for in.
direct damages were withdrawn. This he de-
clared as the intention Of the nation.
Lord PenzancO gathered from what Earl
Granville said that the govern mcut was free tn
withdraw from arbitration if the reply of the
American government to the noble lords last
note persisted in a determination to present iu-
direct claims. This, Lord Penzanco concluded,
was sufficient.
After remarks by Lords Denmau aud Colon.
say, the discussion ceased.
In the house OfcommonS later in the evening
Sir Milircd Lawson moved en- address to the
crown praying that measures should be taken
for the withdrawal of Great Britain from any
treaty binding her to interfere with other ma
tons by war. After q protracted debate the
motion was nGgativcd, t26 to 81.

the fact that Franklin and Morse, whose names
are Joined together in the science of electro mag
netism, were born within two miles of each
other, Both were Massachusetts men, as were
also the inventors of the cotton Gin, the turning
lathe and the sewing machine He regretted
that the history of the inventions and personal
lives Of these men were not better known. Judge

that Mechanics hall could be filled and that 4

meeting he would he glad to 20 there, with the
other citizens of Worcester, to do honor TO the

Mr.. Washburn briefly stated his reasons for

IspEcIAL DISPATCH TO THE DAILY spY.I
WASHINGTON, D. C., April u

WASHINGTON, d. C., April y.
PosTMAsTERs
The house judiciary committee is considering
two bills pending for constitutional amend
mcnt allowing the people to elect their post
masters. Oneof the bills goes further, and gives
to congress the power TO fix the tenure of large
class of offices. 1t is believed that the commit.
tee will report one of the bills lavoraby on Mon
day next. The sense of the house will be taken
on the subject on motion to suspend the rules
and pass resolution concerning tho subject.
FoRNEY's POSITION
Rumors are thick from Philadelphia that Col
Forncy is again getting outside the party traces,
and needs more coaxing to keep him up to the
work expected of him His friends, however
say that the reason why he declines to support
Gen. Hartranlt for governor is that he belongs
to a wing of corrupt politicians, and if the
Press were to support him, it could not elect
In short, he claims that the only way to carry
Pennsylvania for Grant in November is to throw
Hartranlt overheard; for if he is allowed to re-
main the republican candidate for governor. he
will be beaten; and his defeat in October will
be tolerably sure Of bringing the same result in
November.
CHECK TO CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
The house, by large majority, reduced the
senate item OF fifty thousand dollars for civil
service reform to ten thousand dollars. II
might just as well have stricken out every dol
lar; for there isn't enough left to put in motion
the recommendations of the civil service commits
sion. 1t was the intention of the house to pass
vote of censure on the proceedings of the com.
mission, and if possible induce the president to
abandon the project. Its doubtful what he will
do, 1t is said that men enough can be found to
serve without salaries, if that is the only diff
Guilty; but in the face of snch vote it is ex-
tremcly doubtful if the president will continue
his efforts for a reform Of the civil service.
PROPOSED REDUCTIONS OF DUTY.
The ways and means to-day voted to reduce
the duty on cotton thread twenty per cent.
They also reconsnlered the vote taken some DAYS
ago, in which the duly on sized paper for print
ing was reduced to twenty per cent ad valorem,
and increased it to thirty per cent Under the
existing law the rate is thiry-dve per cent and
the proposed reduction is five per cent.
