The Diniculty the Government Enceun-
tiers in Getting Them.

UGG9 III tNtbbsB8 Aut4m.
There is a hitch In the proceedings TO ge
the $12,UOO,O0O belonging TO the late Con
federate government out Of the vaults of ths
Bank Df England and transfer the funds tt
the United States treasury. The st. Louis
globe tentocrdfs Washington correspondent
shows the obstruction thus.
Solicitor Raynor some time since called
the attention Of Secretary Sherman to the
amount Of these assets, and urged that steps
be taken to recover them to the United States
~ being the legal successor to the Confedera-
cy. The Secretary, sensible of the delicacy
Of the subject, referred 1t to the Secre-
tary Of. State and to tho Assistant secre-
tary Of the Treasury for decision.
Mr.. Common, Solicitor Of the Department of
State, made an adverse report on the ground
that 1t would open many delicate questions
which this government was not anxious to
enter into. The Secretary Of State himself
objected, for the reason that he was not will
ing to ask any favors of tho British govern
lnent. As to bringing suits In their courts,
1t was also remembered that In the inquiries
Instituted by the Administration of President
Grant, through its agents. Caleb Gushing,
Judge Redfein and Judge Titus, who were
sent there at different times, that the British
government expressed itself perfectly willing
of the defunct Confederacy, and to turn over
It's assets, provided the United States were
willing TO assume its liabilities to British
subjects. Assistant Secretary French, In an
exhaustive opinion, also reported adversely
concluding that In view of the attitude of the
British government on the question 1t would
be useless expense to prosecute the claims.
This may be regarded as the end of this
question"

The Intention of the Radicals to Fore,
Hayes into the Democr attic camp.
ICineinpati Emo

cincinnati Enquirerl
WARRINGTON, Dec 2s.-4Secretary Evarts'
speech at the New England Society dinner In
New York last night, Is the first open declara-
ton made In public manner that the Presi-
dent does not intend TO take the back track In
hie future policy. It Is held here by sagacious
politicians that one sentence of the speech
covers the broad text upon which the Pres
iqent will be guided In hts future course, and
that is that he believes with Evarts that
he has never entered on devious paths
and does not mean to. Inasmnoh as
Mr.. Hayes sat under the droppings Of
the sweet sounds of his prime ininister's
voice, II can be definitely accepted that he In
dorsed what had been said. II means to
serve notice on Blaine, Oonkling and others
In the Senate, who have entered into an alli-
arlce to break the President down. that he is
aware of both their desire and intention, and
Id willing to accept war with these leaders.
There is no doubt of the intention Of those
leaders to force Hayes to ally himself with
the Democratic. party, and then by vigor-
GUS wave Of the bloody shirt attempt to array
the solid North against the solid South. Both
Blaine and Conkling know that without stir
ring up a strong sectional feeling, the Repub-
lican party might as well lie down peacefully
and die. They will make one final and des-
pefate effort TO galvanize enough life In the
corpse to make 1t give a final kick but there
In will be it's last struggle.
