~, From the st. Louis Globe


r, FROM the St Louis GIobe.l
Inc passage in Mr.. Seburz,s late
speech in which he CHARGES tba p.aS
raenl wi hia Offering to buy with pat
ronage his support OF the San BE-.
mlngo measure, was telegrapbed to
Washington Saturday night. and in
returnour Washington corresponden,
answered, as published in the Globe
yesterday, that the President was on
his way to Long Branch, and that an
authortaitiye rebuttal and denial could
not be made until the matter could
De laid before him the following
morning. Meanwhile the cabinet
members had no hesitation in de.
claring their absolute conviction that
Senator Schurz's charges were with.
out adequate foundation in \ tact
Yesterday the following dispatch.
authorized by the President, and ap.
proved by the members of the Cabi-
net in Washington: .1sa - =
WASHINGTON, D. c., July %.
To the st. Louis Globe =. The
charges made last night by Senatar
Schurz, in his st. Louis speech. to
the effect that he had been offered
offlcIal patronage by the President,
or by his friends, to vote against his
convictions of his duty in regard to
the annexation Of San d DOMINGO. was
laid before the President by Secreta-
ry Belknap on General Grants ar
rival here this morning.
The President announced the
whole statement, as far as it attempt.
ed to refectupon him, absolutely un.
founded on fact. -. . 49, -.
Senator Schurz was either imposed
upon or is the utterer of a Malicious
fabrication.
In no way was any one authorized
to tender to either Mr.. Schurz or
any other Senator, the control or use
OF any patronage for his approval of
the San Domingo Annexation policy
or any other measure of the admins.
tration. --..-- .. -sa-..ss ed ...-....
The President expresses his earn.
est desire that Mr.. Schurz will at
once publish the letter he claims to
have relating to the alleged affair, in
order that, if any one has so imposed
upon the Senator, it may lead to a
full exposition of the dishonest mo-
tive and character of that person.
1t ought to be added that the pas
sage of Mr.. Schurz's speech tele-
graphed to Washington, and to
which the above reply is made, was
taken from advanced slips of his
printed address, and that this pas.
sage was altered previous to its de-
livery. The alteration modified
the original by referring to the per-
SONS who visited Mr.. Schurz, &C
cording to his statement, as some
aohat intimate, instead of intimate,
with the President, and by giving
an extract from the letter to which
the passage at first had only referred.
In the extract the writer refuses to
say more than he had spoken under
an impression" of the Presidents
