THE PRESIDENCY.


Special Dispdteh ia 1x.s CHICAGO Tribune
WASHINGTON, D. G., April 8.--Jere Ha1alson,
colored member from Alabama, denies TINT the
President told him that be was for Conkling.
HaraIson says the President asked what he
thought Of the prospects OF the Republican
party in Alabama at the next election To this
be replied. - That is very difficult question to
ansver. Morton is very strong throughout the
South, Conkling fs also very strong, and
BristoH baa many friends-" The President
said, "Morton is very good man.
firm Republican, and no ona can urge anything
against him. Conkiing is also 8 good man has
always bean consistent Republican" This was
ali that was said about the persons named.
A careful political observer, who has had
talks this week with every prominent. Democrat
in both Houses Of Congress, reaches these con-
clusiono: There is no longer any talk Of al
noisy enough ut the beginning Of the
session. but it has ell died awsy. Tho
Hendricks enthusiasm has evapo7a:ed
Bayard is only fascinating dream, impossible
Of realization. OF Thurman, there Is some
solid residuum remaining. but 1t diminishcs day
By day. Tilden's strength may be great; but II

HYDE PARK.
A meeting Of the Campnigu Committees Of
the Taxpayers and Independent ticket WIS held
at the Gardner House yesterday afternoon, for
tie purpose Of discussing the possibility Of
compromise. A prolonged discussion resulted
in no satisfactory basis OF agreement, and an
adjournment Of the Joint Committee was made
upt1i O'Clock tomorrow afternoon, when au-
other effort Eiu be made to roach fair compro-
miae.
The difficulty in the wav vns that tho 1nde-
pendents insisted on retaining four Of their can
didates as preliminary to any negotiation what
ever; they then proposed to name one Of the
remaining two candidates, thus giving them i've
and the Tax-payers one. This being rather
moro Of jng-hapdled affair than the Tax
payers Committee were prepared to accept, the
whole discussion WAS wasted. It is wholly in-
probable that any compromise eau be reached,
and the rejection Of & perfectly fair resolution,
offered in part by one OF their own party, shows
that the Independents are willing to adjust mat
ters on no basis which does not give them pre-
ponderancs Of ths candidates.

iect matter OF his remarks, II based upon
facts, would have startled the country,
and doubtless. the Senator expected to
creates u sensation; but Senator Boutwell,
in few words Of explanation, took all
the wind out Of bis sails. Senator Davis
does not usually miss the mark SO far.
/ was greatly gratifed TO know he stood
so fair with his brother Senators. Pick
your lint, Senator. and try il again.
II is very amusing TO watch the course
OF Senator Davis and. the would.be-Sena.
tor Faulkner. Each is fully determined
to do more for his constituents than the
other. When one attempts to create a
sensation the other follows suit. AS soon
as Faulkner ascertained that Davis would
offer a sensational resolution on the con-
dition OF the treasury, he began to seek
something 10 make him IN equal amottnt
Of capital. He thereupon offered resO-
luton, with much flourish Of trnmPets,
inquiring why the poor men who had
worked for tho Government at the o. 5.

This would be most excellent capital for
Charles in Jefferson county. The matter
was Mt once Investigated, 10 ascertain
whether it was true that any Of these
men had not been paid, and il not. why.
The. investigation brings The Hon. Mr.. +.
TO grief. Il is ascertained that just be:
fore Harper's Ferry was occupied by the
Confederate troops, that o. s. Paymas-
ter by the name Of Murphy was sent there
to pay the employees al tile arm6ry; that
Murphy instead Of paying the men took
the money and went into the Confederate
army, and further investigation DIS
closed the fact that the Hon. Charles
Jeems is one OF Mr.. Murphy's sureties on
his official bond. Murphy is n defaulter
to the.amount Of SGO,006.. The bondsmen
were promptly notified Of the fact, and
the Hon. Charles Jcems will be expected
to "shell OUT the modest little sum ot
100000 with fifteen years interest, making
over 100000. Rather expensive bun.

applied for, but withdrawn, the wit
ness having consented to testify.
The Chairs opinion upon that case re-
mains unchanged. The bill Of rights very
properly provides that no person shall
BE compelled to testify against himself in
criminal prosecution. 1t is only under
this section OF the Code which provides
that the evidence Of party used ms q wit
ness before my legal tribunal shall not
be used against himself, that the State
can successfully ferret out fraud or mis-
hemeanors committed in official capacity
by her public servants. In the present
case the prosecution partook OF q crimi-
nal nature. There were two penalties at
tached, one removal from Office, the other
disability forever to held any office OF
profit or trust under the State.
The Chair therefore decided that the
entry'upon the proceedings should be that
the admission Of the testimony was over
ruled.
Mr.. NIB. Cabell was then called 10 the
! stand on the part Of the respondent, !, and
stated that he did not remember having
sent Mr.. Dobbins to Mr.. Burdctt in rela.
tion TO securing State deposits for the
Merchants Bank. At thesuggestion Of
Manager Stuart, Mr.. Cabcll corrected
some inaccuracies in tho printed report
OF his testimony.
Mr.. Camden came forward and stated
that he wished to correct himself IN re-
gard to some statements made by him
concerning the time and place OF his con-
yersation with John S. Burdett on the
subject OF a bonus from his bank for
State deposits. After thinking the mat
ter over he he'd come to the conclusion
that the conversation had at White Sul-
uhur Springs must have been that in
which he informed Burdett that the bank
declined his proposition. He was un-
able 10 recall the time or. place Mt which
the proposition was originally made by
John s. Burdett, except that it was pre-
vious to the time ut which W. I. Burdett
made the draft on him. Burdett told
him (Camden) that he had the same ar
rangemcnt with the KanGwha Valley
Bank rs had been proposed to his bank.
Manager Stuart asked il John $. Bur-
dett said anything in relation to the own
ership Of $4,000 stock in the Kanawha
Valley Bank, and. witness answered that
he did, but whether he said it belonged to
him or W. S. Burdett he did not remem'
ber. Burdett, however, said that the
stock was paying greater dividends than
the interest on the sums borrowed by him
to pay for said stock. In relation to the
proposition Burdett said that the Treas
urer was expected to make something
out of the State funds aside from his sal
airy; that the Treasurers Of other States
did the same thing.
The Managers offered in testimony the
bond OF the First National Bank Of
Parkersburg, to show what interest said
bank was paying on State deposits. The
counsel for the respondent wanted the
document proven, and Governor Jacob
was called 10 testify to its genuiness as
was also Mr.. Hedrick. Numerous friv-
olous and dilatory objections were made
by the counsel for the respondent to the
admission OF the document, but its ad-
mission us evidence was finally settled by
an affirmative vote OF the Senate, after
which the Court adjourned.
