New YORK, Aug. 8.
A Tribune Saratoga special says:
The Democrats of the country must
wait at least till Saturday, and possibly
till Monday, for Tilden's letter of ac-
ceptance. The Governor was expected
this evening, and a large circle of poll
ticians waited at the United States
Hotel to receive him. Considerable
excitement prevailed and great disap-
pointment was felt when a messenger
appeared and announced that he was
not OH the train. The messenger bore
a note tO Hendricks from Tilden stat
ing that the latter's brother was dan
gerously sick at Lebanon, and request
ing that the conference owe the letters
be postponed till Friday.
Hendricks has had his letter ready
but will not publish it till he has CON-
ferred with Tilden. $500 N
There is a feeling here that Tilden
had not fully elaborated his letter,
and that the sickness of his brother
while giving him more time is very
unfOrtunate. IS the delay is likely to
diminish still more the waning inter-
est in his Interpretation of the Demo-
cratic platform.

ton with Terry, and was only waiting
for Merritt, upon whose arrival he will
attack the Indians, who are massing
about forty miles from his camp.

! concludes that Congress cannot adj

thinks the House wants to rush away
to avoid the %perplexing currency ques-
ton, which the Democrats are un will

Mr.. Boutwell, thinks adjournment
| possible, but not likely. He thinks
| the Senate will not give any DiplO-
matte bill, and the new House con-
| terees are no better than the old ones.
| He is anxious to present his Missis-
| sippi report, which may occasion de-
bate, but the testimony is not yet
ready.
Mitchell thinks adjournment not
| possible. He says the subject has not
| been caucussed, and there is much
| work yet 3 do. He mentioned the
| Hawaiian treaty and Pacific Railroad
as questions yet to be considered.
Logan says he var to get away,
but he believes in getting rid OF the
business OF Congress first. He thinks
a caucus will be held tomorrow, when
| reports will be made by several com.
| mittees, ard the condition of business
ascertained. 1t looks to him improb-
able that everything a be done by
Monday Noon.
Randall said to a friend to-day that II
both Houses would stop talking and
go to work adjournment would be
| practicable on Monday. He thought
| an adjustment could be reached in four
DAYS as easily as in four weeks, espe-
| cially in cases where things are under
stood as we'll as the Appropriation bill.
Kernall, Ralson, and most Of the
Democrats, Jones OF Florida being an
exception, think adjournment on Mon
day practicable and proper.
Dawes, who has been in Congress so
long that his judgment is good, said no
arrangement on the Appropriation bill
had been made hat gives any sort OF
promise, and he could notthink it pos
sible to adjourn so Don
