THE LATTER's VERSION OF THEIR INTER

THE LATTER'S VERSION OF THEIR INTER
VIEWS.
Mr.. Hewitt. chairman OF the national DEM
ocratic committee, has made public his YER
sion of the interviewsbetween himself and
President Grant. Concerning South Caro-
lima, he says the President stated thanin his
Judgment not less than sixty-three Members
having certificates from the secretary of
state, were eligible to organize tile house and
transact business Thereupon Mr.. Hewitt
telegraphed this view of the President TO
Chairman Haskell in Charleston. Suisse
quently, Mr.. Hewitt and Senator Randolph.
OF New Jersey. had a joint interview with
the President, at which the former asked
him, in view of the Wallace house having
sixty-three members with returning board
certificates, whether he could not see his way
clear TO order the withdrawal of the United
States troops from Columbia, and recognize
the house of representatives SD constituted
with sixty-three members? The President
replied that very late on the preceding even
ing he had received a telegram from Column
bia saying that Mr.. Hewitt had informed
parties there that the President would recog-
nize, as the legal house, that body which
shall have siSty-three members with cerrifi-
Gates from the secretary of state. The Presi-
dent said that he had not made any such
statement. that he did mol believe Hewitt
had said he had done so, and that at any rate
ii was not true. Mr. Hewitt replied that he
had not sent any telegram TO that effect. but
had sent one, as nearly as he could recollect.
as follows: 81 am able to say that the Presi-
not contain sixty three members with origi-
nal certificates from the returning board"
The President replied, THAT is correct.
did say So That was my private opinion.
but did not say that / would recognize a
house that had sixty-three members" I re
Piled That is true, but think il is implied
and we have come to ask you TO do So" The
President replied that as at present advised
he must decline to recognize the house con-
tanning sixty-three members, and he did not
know that he would recognize the other
house; that Chamberlain was governor until
some one was regularly inaugurated i'm his
place. and that he should sustain him. Mr.
Hewitt concludes as follows: The President
said nothing TO me in regard to my using any
OF his statements for the purpose OF defeating
the party which he, the President represent
ed. have never regarded the President OF
The United states as representing any party.
and shall regret TO see the President take
any other position than that of the honored
head of the people of the United States with
out regard 10 party"
SENATOR RANDOLPH,
also publishes a card concerning the inter
view, which does not differ materially from
the foregoing.

CAN EUROPEAN WAR BE AvERrEp?-
Semi-official intelligence from CONSTANT
nople was published in the Political CoyTes-
londellce of Vienna yesterday, to the effect
that IL was regarded there as .'more than
probable that the European plenipoten-
tlaries would arrive at a complete under
standing during the preliminary conference
subsequent dispatches received in London
tell of an informal meeting of the representa-
lives of the powers at the Russian embassy
during which there was full Interchange of
views, and the indications all pointed to a
peaceful termination; later telegram was
received at Paris announcing that at the
meeting alluded to several important pre-
urinary points Of the Eastern question were
discussed and 'sagreed upon" These ssfirst
results" IL is remarked, go far towards con-
nrming the expectation OF an understanding
between the powers. IL is further stated that
the Russian Minister has declared 10 Lori
salisbury that he would consent to the occu-
patton OF Bulgaria by neutral state. such
as Belgium or Switzerland. As q possible
onset to these accounts, several Vienna
papers publish reports, derived, they say,
nom Turkish sources, that the Porte declares
That IT Will adhere To the treaty OF Paris.

that the south had once before been woefully

MR.. BEECHER on THE BROOKLYN DISAs-

Brooklyn Theatre and the loss of li& attend
ing it, delivered on Sunday last. Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher said: My heart has no blame
for the proprietors or the builders of the thea
tire that has been destroyed. They erected IL
according to the best knowledge they DOS
sessed at lifetime, and put into il the best ma
terial they could. They were not knowingly
at fault, and il is for US TO learn a lesson
from the disaster. My friends speak of what
facilities for egress might have been made
and should have been. But tell you IL you
were TO put two thousand men in the open
prairie and create panic among them they
Will trample one another under foot. You
might make every Window of a theater door,
loop up the very walls themselves. tell the peo-
pie TO ny from the scene OF danger vet
there will surely be destruction. Men under
such circumstances are animals. and You
can no more reason with them than you can
stop rushing herd OF buffaioss by reading
them the ten commandments. In such excite
ments all human influences are lost"
