stabbing Afray-Cause, Politics.
Domiuick Roche, an Assemblyman,
and Henry Carr, Commissioner of Char
tiles, both OF Brooklyn, engaged in q
political discussion on a Hudson river
boat on the way from Albany to New
York, yesterday. The parties quar-
relied and Roche stabbed Carr with a
pocket knife in the right groin, infiict-
ing q wound which may prove fatal.
Cars condition is considered critical.
schurz.s Charge Sustained.
A Herald Washington special says
1t transpired yesterday that Senator
Fowler and Senator Upton were both
approached in the same manner as
Schurz claims to have been on the San
Domingo question. There are other
Senators, whose reputation for veracity
has never been questioned, who, it is
stated, are likewise prepared to sustain
the charge OF Senator Schurz.
A Tribune Washington special SAYS
that the dispatch telebraphed by the
President yesterday, denying the al
legation of Schurz in stating that be
was approached by friends OF the Pres
ident on the San Domingo question,
has the approval of Boutwell,, Fish, the
President, Williams and Porter. In this
connection it is proper to say that not
only to Schurz were offers made to be-
stow patronage to secure strength for
the San Domingo treaty, but to other
Senators, who turned q deaf ear, as he
did, to the tempters. These offers
came in several ways, most o.
them in hints and suggestions from
Cabinet officers. The names Of ex-
Senator Fowler and Senator Upton
may be used in confirmation OF the
practice alleged to have existed by
Schurz. All these gentlemen were
approached substantially the same way
The President not only went to the
Capitol and made personal appeals to
the Senators to vote for the treaty, but
he invited Senators unfriendly to the
scheme to the White House, where he
urged the great advantages ofthe Island
and endeavored, with maps, refresh-
ments and arguments, to influence them
to vote for the ratification Of the treaty,
in accordance with his promise in the
Babcock protocol to use his influence
privately among Senators to secure the
ratification OF the treaty.
Senator Sumner.
The HeraMs Washington dispatch
says: Sumner emphatically denies that
be has written letter to Gardner
Brewer respecting his intention to sup'
port Greeley. He is equally emphatic
in his denial Of the statement by Prof
Lsngsdon that he has advised the Re-
publican party to support Grant. He
says no one is authorized TO speak for
him at all.
Affairs at Geneva.
The State Department has not re-
ceived a word from Geneva regarding
the progress of the arbitration. The
atateme ent that IN award has been made
in the case of the Florida is discredited
ConkIing's Speech.
The newspapers all comment on Mr..
Conkling's speech, at Cooper Institute
last night. The Herald thinks the
speech was unfortunate, in 30 far as il
failed to meet the public sentiment in
several points. The Times thinks the
speech full and complete reply to the
charges brought against the Admins
tration and against Conkling personally
The Tribune, editorially, says that al
the household Senators and newspapers
of the President are laboring under that
depression OF spirits which finds utter
ance in abusive language, but the cam
paign hourly shows more violent
exhibition Of anger and apprehension
than Conklings TRADE last night.
To BE BaiIed.

presented itself in the Supreme Court to

Hart, Patrick Hart and John F. Red
mond, who since the shooting have
been confined in the House OF De-
tentiou, applied to Judge Pratt
through their counsel, for release on
bail. Their request it is believed viii
be granted.
