by an old man whose shabby clothes

That's all right-that's enough" said
eNe old man. "l'm worth half a million

and rather wishes lie had been charitable.

TIE PRESIDENT AND THE SECRETARY OF
THE TREASURY.


The efforts to produce ill-feeling between
President Grant and Secretary Bristow have
been persistently continued, at intervals. and
every sort OF tales, preposterous and extrava-
giant, plausible and Calculated to deceive" has
been circulated of open ruptures between them.
AL OF these are in substance false, and they have
been, therefore. explicitly denied ~ they were
coined aud uttered. Moreover, there can be
more said than mere denial of these stories,
1t ia true that the President has not withdrawn
his confidence from Gen. Bristow, but preserves
with him intimate and friendly relations, and in
all the steps that have been taken to bring to
justice the rascAls Of the Whiskey Ring. there
mas been systematic concert OF action, A cor.
respondent writing from Washington, General
boynton, OF the Cincinnati Gazette says:-
he mas been charged, by those who have
sought to stir up trouble between the Pre.ident
aud himself, with seeking to Ignore the Presi-
cent IN the Work he has undertaken and to have
IN view his own advancement alone tits doupt-
iul whether any Secretary in like circumstances
~ ever oeiore consulted President con-
stAntly ana 80 fully. There certainly has never
been one who has more uniformly insiated That
the President should have the credit for what
ever has been DONE
The first pretenss was that the President
would not support the Secretary in the prosecu-
tons. But the answer to this was the famous
order, "Let no guilty man escape" Then it
was declared that the President would interfere
to prevent an effective prosecution OF General
Babcock. But he did nothing of the sort.
Later, the charges have been that the President
was indignant that Bsbcock had been indicted
at all that il the result Was an acquitta, Bris.
tow would be forced out Of the Cabinet, &c.
&c.,-all weak inventions" intended to DESTROY
the harmony of the Administration by sowing
Jealousy and distrust among the members. al
of them have been exploded, promptly, and /,
may be hoped have done harm to none but thei
dishonest authors.

No one thing will be 90 much consid-

forms of the parties, and the assurances given in
their behalf by their advocates go for something,

most respectable sense Of that word, was never
more important. 1t may be set down 40 GER
tainty that weak man, an unpopular man, q
man tainted in any degree with public suspicion
will bring the party that he represents to dire
ruin and disaster.
The Republicans must remember that the

publicans nominate weak candidate
who cannot command the cordial support of the

bring back to it a large element that since 1872,

such thatit will net tolerate the selection of an un
worthy candidate by the party whose claim to in
telligence and purity Of purpose has always been
earnestly put forward. II the Democrats should
nominate weak candidate, strong Republican
will doubtless walk over the course easily, but il
those conditions be reversed, the result will be

1t will be perilous to lose sight, for moment,

which IVES quite prevalent, was 10 the eject
that Tweed had returned TO this CITY,
and would certainly appear a. tho trial

tied stAtsment was to the effect that COM
promise was being agreed upon between the op
posing counsel with the consult Of tho olRciA
authorities. The argumsnt In favor Of the arst
statement was that Tweed had left Ludlow
Street Jail not from any desire to escape trial,
but, simply to avoid long and tedious impris-
onlnent and thai, now that there was some prob
ability Of verdict being had In tho suit from
which he had most TO fear, he was willing 10
stand his trial, feeling confident that nothing
could be proved to fAsten liability upon him.
Dudley Field and other counsel in the case
when visited and questioned about the matter
would neither affirm nor deny any Of the
rumors. Inquiry at Ludlow street jail failed to
discover Tweed's presence there.

WAaaIHarox, Feb IA full synopsis Of The
Prssidsut's Testimony was, tonight, tslsgsaphsd
to Emery A. Storm. Of General BAbeoek's coun-
sel, by Mr.. Vim. A Cook, who represented ths
defense In the taking Of the testimony here.
The following points Of the testimony AZ
taken from the councils abstract !:
always performed his duties ~ Private Bsmstray
70 the Presidents satisfaction. He knows his
general reputation in Warrington and In the
Army. It 10 good. Nothing was ever heard
BY linn aGainst Babcock until the present
charges. He remembers that BAbcock showed
the Collectorship. Is was siinply shown ~
other tslssrams This was after the death
Of Ford. He told BAbcock that Ford,
having died suddenly and away from homo, he,
the President, should consult Pords pondsmsn
in making the appointment. They and others
cock ever, directly or indirectly, sought 70 in
huence the appointment Of Mcguire did not
remember Of Babcock ever speaking 70 him In
reference to any charges made against Joyce or
Mcdonald. He certainly took no lively interest
in the matter. Remembered Mcdonald being
in Washington Dec. Is, 1874, and rode with him
one. Did not remember word Of conversation
on any mattsr touching his official position OF
these cases. Saw him ~ hs (the Presidency was
driving and stopped and requested him to ride.
Since Babcock's Indictment no effort had been
made 10 interfere with the trial. At the time the
Court Of inquiry was ordered he supposed Bah
cock would not be Indicted, because he under
stood that the Grand Jury would adjourn in .
day or two. Much Of tile Testimony il fortified
by papers and kilograms.
