Charles Francis Adams interviewed

| New York, 6. The World publishes the
details of an interview by its Geneva cor
respondent with Charles Francis Adams
from which the following is an extract:
| Correspondence have been asked sir, 10
| ascertain your views in regard to the COM
ing Presidential election. Your ca ndidature
| at the Cincinnati convention was no doubt
| surprise to you.
| Mr.. Adams-In one sense it was certainly
a surprise, namely: That it vas wholly un-
solicited on my part. | have the greatest
objection TO what may term managed can
ddatures Of any kind. have made it the
guiding principle of my career on the one
hand to decline Ro offer of public employ
ment that | could accept with honor and
credit and the prospect OF being useful, and
on the other never 10 become an Office seeker
of any kind. Ny unwillingness to intrigue
or even to acquiesce in the ntrigues Of 9th
| ers. with view TO my own promotion to
post OF dignity, is SO great that l feel sure
could never overcome it, and besides that
there is nothing even in the candidatnre for
the presidency that would induce me to at
tempt such conquest of my own inclina-
| tons
| Correspondent Would you have accepted
| the nomination had il been offered bv that
| convention.
| Mr.. Adams-lo our question is a s,uiew lat
difficult one TO answer. Ny views, as Won
will remember, were laid before the conven-
ton by letter, and inasmuch as that letter
l,it down q programme Of principles, it at
least contained an intimation of my willing
ness to accept canddaure under certain
conditions.
Correspondence the democratic eonyen-
ton at Baltimore ON July :,th, decide to NOM
mate a candidate not of its own party, would
you accept its nomination of yourselfI
Mr.. Adams must again refer you to my
letter laid before the Cincinnati convention.
| have nothing to add or to take from the dec
larations | then made. | am certainly not
] prepared Ia say should decline a candida
tire which wouii not require of me any sacri-
! fee Of convictions ! have always consistently
| hcid.
| Mr.. Adams was also Interviewed as to the
! strength of MIR. Greeley and the kind of a
| President he would make ii elected, and
while his replies were evasive they were on
the whole rather untavorablo to Greeley.
Mr.. Adams also spoke strongicv in iayor
OF the doctrines OF STATE rights.
The World also prints an interview with
Caleb Gushing, hut the report contains Moth
ing at special Significance.

Secretary Fish, on March 9th. telegraphed
our charge at Madrid, recognizing the citi-
zenship Of DR.. Iouard, and directing re-
monstrance against the proceedings of the
Cuban court martial as violation of the
provisions of the treaty, to ask the immediate
release of the prisoner. Three days later
Secretary Fish wrote in letter TO Vice
President Colfax, which was published to-day
reviewing DR.. Houards case in q manner BY
10 means favorable to the prisoner. The
Secretary showed that the long residence of
DR.. Houard in Cuba and his enjoyment of
certain privileges, 10 which were attached the
right to become Spanish subject in some
degree justified the authorities in regarding
DR.. Houard as subject to juridiction. while
nH the other hand he says nothing whatever
had been brought forward in the doctors
behalf 10 illustrate or prove his assertions at
any time of his American citizenship until
the misfortune Of his arrest and imprison-
ment occurred. Secretary Fish in this letter
goes on to review the evidence against Dr.
Honard and declares that it was Of character
that would have convicted party accursed
of the same offence during our war The
Secretary adds, "the strong point which pre-
vents the Intervention of this government in
behalf Of DR.. Howard from becoming efflca-
cious for his release, is the fac: that he has
been regular'v tried end found guilty By a
duly eonstitl'.'l tribur2i in the Islanl OF
Cuba.
Gen. Hancock has written a letter 10 a
friend in this city defining his position in the
