Ex-senator DoOlittIe and ReYerdy john
sOn-A Letter Of Denial from the
Former.

MILWAUKEE, August 30.--The DAILY
-Nelps of this city, win tomorrow pub
lish letter from ex- senator DOoittle,
I'm reply to Reverdy Johnson, exposing
and conflicting all the material allega-
tons Of the Connolly affidavit, in which
Mr.. DOolittle is charged with exaeting
money for his influence while q Senator
of the United States.
Senator Doolittle prOnOunces every
portion of the statement relative to the
exercise of his personal or official infiu-
ence in obtaining a permit for ConLally
to trade in cotton as unqualifiedly false.
He saws: % never used any official in
fiuenee in my whole political life for a
pecuniary reward, or in the hope Of one,
for any man living or dead" Senator
Doolittle then quotes from COnnally's
affidavit, and proceeds: He says he
resigned in November 1854, and APP
piled for his permit. About that time a
telegram from Washington informed
me his permit was issued November IL,
1854, and be resigned November 18th,
the morning after II was issued. He says
he applied after he learned that many
had obtained permits. That same
telegram informed me that the first per-
lulAS 70 NIa0L III COANOll ere -lrSuGU Oh
November II, 1854, the very day his
permits were issued and bear date. If
there be any truth in his statement,
therefore, he applied for his permit on
the very day it was issued-November
II, 1854 He says be applied for his
permit through influential friends,
among whom was the Hon. J. r. Doo-
little, Senator from Wisconsin, to the
President for such permit. The same
telegram informs me that there were no
papers, no recommendations from any
one on file The record shows that 1
did not ask for a permit in writing
The only way in which / could have
aided him would have been BY a perso-
nal interview with the President or Sec
retary of the Treasury, which interview
never occurred. j never drew any let
ters or papers for Connolly to sign before
be came to my committee rooms on
Thursday, the twenty-ninth day of De
cember, 1884. The only paL 3 ever
drawn by me in relation to any matter
between him and me were drawn in his
presence. At his suggestion, and with
his full assent and approval, upon
a full and mutual understanding that
such papers were simply private and
the memorandum to be
preserved for the private use of the par
ties themselves only. After giving the
facts Of the interview sought by Con-
nelly, Mr. DoOlittle says; II cannot de-
tail the conversation which took place
eight years ago, but know. there was
not one word said on purpose or intend
ed which if known to the whole world
would stain my honor as Senator or as
q man - -

sI6 on the Matter. W

New YORK, August 90.--The London
Islles of the twentieth says the foot and
mouth disease is increasing among the
cattle to an alarming extent, nOtwith-
standing all the precautions adopted
Official returns show an increase of over
four thousand cases in the infected dis
tricts for the past week.
The Telegraph Of the same date has
the following: Being now permitted to
write on the approaching interview be-
tween three Emperors, the Russian
press generally draw hopeful and peace
ful auguries from the event.
81 The GdaLoiS, however, hints that the
Slavonian and Eastern questions will be
brought en- the tapis, and that Russia,
though not greedy of conquest, must
see the Christian subjects of the Porte
protected from prescription and oppres-
sion, and that an open declaration to
this effect may be made. The Papal
encro8chments in Germany and the In
ternationais may also afford points of
discussion and combination. -
The same paper says that the Empe-
ror Napoleon has frankly indicated his
views with regard to the forthcoming
interview of the three Emperors at Ber-
lin. The present condition and pros
poets of France and other topics of the
day referring to the imperial assem-
blage. His Majesty did not consider
that it would involve any immediate
threat or danger TO the peace Of Europe,
but he did not conceal his belief that
more than a compliment was intended
by the unwonted meeting, and that
when. each power had served its own
immediate purpose, by the help Of its
neighbors, partnership would be dis
solved. d-----I.- -I.--1-----
Napoleon III dealt somewhat severely
on the protectionist views Of Nj. ThieTs
and bis lavish expenditures for the
army, which he contrasted keeHly with
his parsimonious views while in opposi-
ton under the Empire, and pretty
plainly hinted that despite the Presi-
dents words of peace, his mind was
bent on war. &

They reported TO me that she was not,
and we considered the damage was very
slight. We then proceeded on our
way to Providence. After running a
few moments, the engineer reported
that the steamer was rapidly filing,
when I Immediately headed her for the
nearest shore, and used every exertiOn
in my power to save the passengers and
crew. At this time the wind was blow
ing a strong gale from the southwest ac-

became evident that the steamer must
go down. 1t was not longer than a half
hour from the time she was headed for
the shore until she sunk. The life-boats
We're lowered and filed at once with per-
sons anxious to be saved. One Of the
boats was swamped. but was soon Tighted
by the chief-engineeT who was in Der.
He sculled her up to the wreck, and she
was again boarded with success. About
fifty persons We're left on the upper deck,
which drifted away with the gale. The
storm still continued, and although sew
eral vessels came within sight none of
them recognized US We continued in
this perilous condition until about eight
O'Clock in the morning, when We drift
ed on the beach about half a mile from
the Watch Hill lighthouse. The surf
was very high, and our danger was in
creased BY this time quite a large
numbe people from the Watch Hill
Hotel were on the beach protecting aid,
but all was of no use TO US. The roar of
the surf prevented any communication.
and it was evident to US that the deck
on which we fiOated must soon go to
pieces. In few moments a breaking
up commenced and we were all thrown
into the surf By the kindness of those
on shore nearly ali were saved from the
pilethouse and upper works. 1 am un-
able to say at present how many of the
crew and passengers were lost.

ing upon a plan 10 stop the new develop

increase the demand for oil, thereby en-
hancing the price. Meetings have been
held at Parker's Landing, and yester-
