WD Wshop. President Of the New-York, New

and during the run to New-Hayen Gov. Jewell ana
he relieved the tedium of travel with conversation
Gov. Jewell appeared TO be in excellent spirits. AT
South Norwak he met by one or two friends,
who gave him cordial reception.
As the train approached the depot at Bridgeport a
crowd of 500 men was seen gathering The plat
form Gov. Jewell stepped ont and was greeted
with "three rousing cheers for Gov. Jewell" The
receiving party was composed OF J. W. knowlton
postmaster at Bridgeport, OF two post-ofice
emplov6s, members Of the Grand Army Of the Repab-
lie AID citizens of all classes, who crowded
forward and grasped Mr. JEWELS extended
hand. The retiring PoStmaster-Gereral was
rallied little on bis removal, and returned the
sahes with q joyial rejoinder and handshake. The
reception was perfectly Informal, spicy, hearty and
vel seasoned with laughter. Ore brown-ylsagcd
laborer grasped his hand with hearty expression OF
his respect and then Observing him AZ a distance re-
marked to nis companions "Ah! Jewell 8 an old
veteran, can tell you" "CheerS for the Governor
were given as the train moved away.
Gov. Jewell conversed freely with THE Tribune
correspondent about Washington dispatch which
appeared in The EreERO Post this afternoon, and
which professod TO give President Grants reasons
for hisrenovAl These were that the President said
he bad been informed that his Postmaster-General
had terfeTed with his appointments, and gone solar
b. to urge members of the Senate JudclaryCommttee
to reject the appointment of Mr. Fisher as District
Attorney of Delaware, appointment which did
not appertaln TO the POstmaster-GcneraPs Depart
ment. Gov. Jewell said that could not nave been
reason. So far as his memory served hiIn, and he
believed he was not deficient in that regard, he bad
not spoken TO any member of the Senate OF House oil
Representatives or to anybody whOmsOeycr, TO urge
the rejection of Mr. Fisher, and he was sure he had
rot gone to any one. As to the assertion that
Republican Senators had complained to the Presi-
dent that Mr.. Jewell had embarrassed legislation by
urging the Senate not TO reduce the Post
Office Appropriation bill, while telling Democratic
members Of the House that the appropriations could
be reduced 5000 600 without cripplng the service,
yet he could say nothing more. The Presidents
infornants may have said it, but he knew nothing
about the matter and did not know what acts of bis
the statement could refer TO.
On other topics connected with his resignation and
future plans, Mr. Jewell was disnclned 70 talk. He
said in bis peculiar situation, "silence golden"
II was better not to talk about past difficulties, and
for the immediate future he should give his undivided
attention to his private affairs.
1t was learned from Trustworthy sources, however,
that the Governor had disclained the truth of
statement made by the Washington correspondent
of The Hartford Times, which represented him as
saving in jocular way to President Grant after
Yaryans removal "You have been at it again,
and SIR. President, don't you think You have
gone too far in the matterp To which Gen.
Grant is reported 10 have replied II would
rather have your resignation than your
advice" Gov. Jewell is understood to
have denied this account in toto and to declare that
there was no assumption his part, nor any show
OF feeling between him and Gen. Grant. He went
u his work in the morning as usual-the morning Of
the publication Of Mr. Hayes's letter-and at noon
the request came, which lie accepted with as little
demonstration as was made in giving it, which
none at all.
The Governor is reported also as saying that he
