succeed in defeating him? II so, the Repub-
lican party will have more to rejoice over
than any one else. They have rendered all
the assistance In their power to defeat him.
So much has been said by Mr.. Hill and
his friends in the Georgia newspapers OF
the existence OF conspiracy here to defeat
his election to the Senate, it may be we'll to
state that there is not, and has never been,
any such conspiracy in Washington. But
very many Democrats here and elsewhere
hope that Georgia will select some other
man to represens her in the United States
Senate. That is all there is in the so-called
conspiracy Is
A dispatch from Atlanta, under date Of
January sad, says:
A personal assault was yesterday made
on Mr. Toombs by Ben. Hill member be-
cause Mr.. Toombs asserted that the Legs
Iature would be damned scoundrels II they
elected Ben. Hill The Intervention OF the
crowd prevented serious results. MIR. Hill
made an eloquent and aggressive speech on
Saturday: night, in which exposed and
denounced the conspiracy that had been
organized to crush him. He put the oppo-
sition Of the Cincinnati Enquirer to the ac-
count of q fraudulent cotton claim that he
defeated ;ust after the war, Dir. Wash. Nc
Lean being interested in it. He alluded in
the same connection to dead brother OF
Judge William Schley, of New York, which
may provoke duel. Judge Schley is here
active against Mr.. Hill, and published the
following card this evening:
ST. am told that the Hon. d. II. Hill, in
his speech ct the capitol last night, made
injurious and false charges against my de-
ceased brother, George Schley, and myself.
Before noticing Mir. HIPS conduct, the in
fanny of which cannot be too strongly de-
nounced, il his remarks have been accu-
rately reported to me. will wait to see the
stenograpllic report Of his speech, which l
understand will appear in to-morroW's pa
pers." @,"'
1t is rumored that this will result in a
challenge. Mr.. Hill has an anti-duelling
record, but prefaced his speech with these
remarks, which may be significant: "f l
should say anything in the discharge OF my
duty here by which any gentleman thinks
himself involved, and that may need reply
from him, wish very much that he would
give me notice OF the fact ct as early time
tonight or tomorrow as possible. II get
no such notice shall, in all probability, go,
as soon as I can, back to Washington; but
if do get such notice shall take great
pleasure in meeting whoever may desire it."
