NEW YORK, Dec. l6-The Worlds
Washington special says: The District
Attorney brought into Court to-day ar
indictment fonnd by the Grand Jury
against Chss. A. Dana, of the New
York San. for the libel Of Gov Shep-
ard. in charging OIL Oct. eth, with keep
ing a widow named Mrs. Il. r. Morscl
IA his mistress. ani that with the aid
ofthe President, h. bad her appointed
in the Treasury Department, though
she never rendered days service there.
The indictment, after pronouncing this
false. rccites tha. the President order
cd that Mrs. Morscl he paid h-r salary
after having been furloughed by the
Treasury Department, which is also
presented as libellous. 1t is further as
serted that Mrs. Morsel is recognized
as one Of the best dressed ladies' III the
city, and lives in one Of Shepasd's hou,-
Is, and keeps up style that people Of
moderate wealth cannot afford, which is
also presented among tue libe.lous
portions of the articles The editor of
the Sun Is to be brought here for trial.
of which there is great doubt in the
views Of Judge Blatchford's dccisio n.
when he was indicted before, at Shep-
srds's instance. The trial will be one
of no common interest, ss the President,
Bristow. and Mrs. Morsel. Who is o
very handsome woman. VIII necessarily
oe witnesses.
The Worlds Washington special says
sensational and wholly incorrect re-
port Of the interview Col. Roberts. OF
New Orleans. had with Hayes, at the
home OF the latter. is promptly exposed
and contradictcd. but it continues to be
followed by similar statements which
arc equally unfounded in fact. Some
Of these reports have. no doubt, grown
out Of the recent interview with Hill
Of Geogia, but Hill does not reAec,
| the sentiments Of his colleagues
and could not command to-day
corporars guard OF his followers
Possibly there may be one or two
Southern members who would concede
| the election of Hayes with the hope OF
gaining something for their section
but concession Of the North makes nc
gramme by which radicals propose to
put Hayes in the White House; the
South must also give way, however
unwillingly. but lot the North show
bold front and assert its rights and the
South will not Ike found wanting.
NEW YORK, Dec. 16 - Hill OF

publicsns upon his opinion since he has

graphed from Chicago to the Journal in
this city. which assumes TO patronise
Hill from Republican stand point
Referring to it he remarked that they
must not be too fast nor too sure.
Some Of the Southern men in whose
way he stands, do not think very highly
Of Hill As they say be lacks Judgment.
This of course comes from his being
an aspirant for the Senatorship OF
Georgia. atont which there il . lively
canvass just now, and Mr.. Hill expect $
To win. 4 lively Il, bate between Rep
