Special Despatch to tie World.
CINCINNATI. July 17.-From develop
ments growing out of correspondence be-
tween parties in this city and Saratoga, it
would appear that Judge Hilton is weak
ing in regard to his famous edict refusing
Jews the privileges of his Grand Union
Hotel at Saratoga. The Enquirer of to.
morrow will publish an interview with Mr..
Edgar NJ. johnson, prominent Isralite
Of this city. gentleman of high social
standing AID legal ability. in which Mr..
Johnston gives the substance of recent
correspondence between himself and Mr..
Wilkinson, superintendent of the Grand
Union, VINO knows Mr. Johnston personally
as leading Isralite of this city. 10 which
Mr.. Wilkinson formally offers TO Mr., John
son and his family the best rooms in the
Grand Union with board at the usual scale
OF prices, which be quotes 10 the letter for
the seeming change of base, the communi
cation being altogether of paivate nature,
but intimates in his interview with the
Enquirer that probably the whole matter
was the result ola private quarrel between
Judge Hilton and Mr.. Seligmen, and that
by some means the order was given wider
range than was at first intended. The
letter states in unmistakable terms that
Mr.. johnson and his family will gladly. be
accommodated at the Grand Union at any
time by complying with the usual business
formalities.

WAsIilGNr0N, Jan lG.-Thc action OF the

and is having IA bad effect, iii that it is render
ing desperate men who have heretofore been
inclined to moderation aod who have been
counsclinr iorbearancc 1t is considered that
this is but an indication of the purpose OF the
administration to put Hayes in the White
House vi ct armis, and while some o: the
Northern democrats have weakened somewhat
under he blow, the West seems TO be inspired
with renewed spirit, and will more strenuousy
urge resistance.
1t is certain that the situation IS more alarm
ING than it has been for SOME time, and that
it but needs spark now to ignite The mag
azlne.
The ioiut committee on counting the cleo.
toral vote has as yet reached 40 definite con-
cluson though it is whispered that the draw

the President, backed up by Morton, Chan
