Cyrus w. Field Is in this city, and has had inter
views with number of leading public men on the
subject Of the Geneva Conference. Mr.. Field Gays
that, in his recent travels in Germany, France and
Italy, he did not hear of single statesman, jnrst,
or authority upon international Jaw who does not
speak Of the claim of the United States for indirect
damages as prepOsterous He thinks that in seri-
Ousy urging this absurd and wholly indefensbe
claim, tho United States are placed before
the world in very undesirable position A
leading member Of the House, who had
conversation, yesterday upon this subject with Mr..
Field said to-day that he had made mp his mind that
the best way out of the dsaMceable situation in
which the country has been placed by the folly of
the Administration is frankly to acknowledge our
error and abandon ct once the untenable position
taken. He intmated that q resolution would soon
be offered in the House, and pressed to VOTE re-
questing the President to withdraw from the Con
ference the claim submitted for consequential dam
ages. From all that is known of the sentiment Of
the House. it is believed that such resolution would
be adopted by large majority

An OLD STORY

1t is perhaps 100 much to expect that the
Press will admit candidly that its charges
against General lIartranft have been utter
ly and completely reluted. Such an act
might be suicidal. But it was reasonable
to suppose that it would refrain from
''damnablc iteration" of falsehOOds which
are known by the whole community to
have that character. And yet this morn
ing it returns to its old accusation through
the medium of a letter which was probably
written in its own office, and makes the
following charges That General Hartranft
is responsible for the Evans delalcation !;
that the Legislative committee appointed to
investigate the matter cenSured Hartranft
in the severest manner; that the sinking
fund has been robbed and that Hartranft
was in league with Geary in the Evans
business. There is something ineXpressi-
bly, impudent in this continued reference to
the Evans robbery by the Press. The very
investigating committee which is quoted by
that journal said, in its report
1--WE are unable to arrive at any reliable
data as to the disposition OF the whole OF
the commissions withheld by Evans. He
! teStities that he is without property of ally
| kind, and that he paid his debts and cX.
penses with these moneys. ID. G. Forney
| admits that Evans paid him $4,000 out OF
| the commissions, and swears that he had
contract for $4,000 thereof. EranS
SWears that the sum paid FOrnev lcas &c.
! 000.n
And among the testimoney presented in
! the same report was the following evidence
from Evans himself:
II think am indebted to Colonel John
w. Forney, more than any other man, for
the endorsement to the Governor, and per-
haps also to several gentlemen with whom
/ have no personal acquaintance, but who
were persuaded from the recommendation
of Colonel Forney that was proper per-
son to be appointed agent"
John w. Forney, editor of the Press
also admitted that he had received two
thousand dollars of the money alluded to il
the above extract. 1t is therefore indecent
for the Press to recall this Evans case daily
and to use il to blacken the character o
General lIartranft, especially rs the For
news still retain their share of the stoler
money, after having placed Evans wher'
he could take it, and having striven desper
ately to save him from punishment.
But the shamelessness of this conduct il
quite equal by the persistence with whicl
the Press asserts that Gen. lIartranft wa
a party with Geary TO the Evans fraud, ant
that the Legislative committee fastened tn
guilt upon him. Every man in the Stat
who knows anything about the case i

that as soon as the crime came to the light

lucky. on. the I'd inst, General Hodge,
spoke Gs follows:
Il have devoted life time to the princi-
pies of the Democratic party. l have
grown gray in the advocacy Of those priu-
ciples, and each year the conviction has
grown deeper that its fundamental princi-
pies are the true foundation-stones OF this
Government. l have seen upon the battle
field thousands throw away their lives in
defense of these principles. The graves of
the gallant Southern dead who sleep under
every hillside in the South, over whose
graves the night winds sigh, are reminders
to me of the love for these principles which
still linger in my heart. The second pas
sage in Mr.. Grceley's letter means that
John G. Breckinridge and other chiyarous
sons of the South shall be restored to thei-
former positions of power and influence.
Looking back upon the once shattered and
fruitless hopes of the South, | now see that
the equal rights and sovereignty of States
shall be restored, and my comrades of the
lost cause have not died in vain. This will
be victory for that for which they fought.
Mr. Greeley promised to do all he could to
aid us when we get majority III Congress.
l object to Grant because he is Il Republi-
can because he is member OF that party
which waged successfully the contest
against my brethren of the South, whose
orators kept the fires burning that filled
the Federal ranks with soldiers. | have
heard it said by some that the Democratic
party shall have no part with Mr.. Greeley
in the conquest; but feel that they will
not be neglected. Not only will Greeley
not forget who has helped him to his posi-
ton, but pledges direct pledges-have
been given us 10y him that we shall not be
| forgotten in case of success"
! Colonel u. G. L. Breckinridge said at
/ the same meeting:
Our part Of this bargain is to give the
! Liberal Republicans our votes, in order to
enabls them to succeed in the undertaking.
! Their part Of the bargain Is to restore to
power the now dsfranchised sons of the
South, to drive out of the tcmpel these van
dals and thieves, and to restore you, Demo
Gratis, to their positions. They are to give
you, men of the South, those places which
the men of the dominant party now hold.
