His ExpIanatiOu Of the Little Arrangement
With O'Donovan Rossa- The GeueraI Has
Fulnlled All His PrOmises-He Has APP
pointed n Deputy Register Who Knows His
Business.
II may be remembered that some time since an
agreement was entered into between General Sigel
and ODonovan Rosa, IN winch the latter claims
that condition OF the support extended toGeneral
Slgel during the election he was to be appointed
Deputy Register. This Sigel has failed to do, and
Rosa claims that he mas been unfairly treated
trary 70 the expectations he had formed. Yester.
day HERALD reporter called on General Sigel at
his ONCE to ascertain If he had made any such
promises. The General was looking cheerful as
usual and. although immersed in pressing business,
willingly gave his attention to his visitor.
General, ! have called upon you about the
Deputy Registership."
'.Oh, well, 1t is filed up I have appointed some
one, and cannot give it to you"
ooh. ! don't wish It for myself; but did you not
promise it to O'Donovan Rossas"
III do not understand what you mean"
"You promised after the election to appoint Rosa
to the ONCE OF Deputy Register"
"No. j did not. II is not correct"
''Did you hold out any promises to HIM"
"well, ] said that the claims OF his nationality
would he fairly and impartally considered by me,
which have done and have appointed all the
persons recommended to me by Mr.. Rosa to
various positions In my of1ice.'
"wss there any promise made to Rosa about a
position for himself"
mo. said to him that lie could not hold the po-
stion OF Deputy Register, as he did not possess
such experience In the work 70 be done as Is
sary. I was to appoint his son to q position in
the Office and had written to him 70
meet me here on specified day, when
he failed 10 do. MY letter was unanswered. He did
not come. and as the place could not remain vacant
gave 1t TO another person and TO. day o. DON
ovan Rosa sends me another man as a substitute
'Tnen you made specific promise TO him, as he
claims you did Z"
'No distinctly not. ANYTHING that said would
tent with the responsibility OF my pOstion.p
"a statement has also been made that you have
put the work formerly performed by the Deputy
Register and his assistant on the shoulders Of the
former, thereby saving TO yourself 700 year,
ut ~ all wrong. On the contrary, thought the
work was too much for those officials, and [ have
employed another assistant Neither OF the stories
Is true. / did not promise to appoint 0'DOnovan
Rosa and have not tried TO make for myself So 900
q year by the abolition OF any ONCE"
HAS 0'Donovan Rosa asked you for the posi-
ton ~
ne has NOT. We had conversation about the
believe that have acted fairly by him In appoint
ing those whom he recommended. But no one can
be Deputy Register. without possessing the neces-
sary qualifications"
At this point some visitors called and the reporter
