Go1s4lEss having been INTERCEPTED rela-
tive to the telegram sent to Gov. West, un-
der the assumed name ofC. NJ. Calvert, said
it was understood between him and Gov.
Wells that if the representative at Wash
ingLon failed to bring the money, then
witness WAS to use his own judgment in
negotiating terms, a they were made in
New Orleans, and that he should COM
mence the second negotiation.
The word ':hold. in the telegram to Gov.
Wells, Signified he was to hold the returns
in such a situation as to make them avail
able at will.
The first negotiation failed. Gov. Wells
stated to witness that he wanted for him
self and Gen. Anderson at least $780, 900
apiece, and a smaller sum for the darlzies
or negroes of the Returning Board.
When the witness returned to New Or
leans he had a conversation with Gov
Wells about the failure of the negotiations
The witness received dispatch from Col
Pickett. saying the negotiations had failed
when Gov. Wells suggested that witness
endeavor to make some arrangement with
the Democrats.
Witness made an effort in that direction
but did not succeed. The idea of witness
was, from what Gov. Wells said, that he
would throw out votes to the b est advan
tage, in order to produce certain results
which would depend on circumstances.

GEN. GARFIELD'S HAND.

We have often designated the count
ing-in clique as political gamblers but
hardly thought that they would openly
adopt the language ofthe sports. Gen.
Garfield however 10 reported by two
republican journals as having given ut
teranee to the following interrogation.
IF you held the hand which we do
wouldn't you play it" which as the
Washington Union says is just the
language of gambler who holding two
bowers and an ace 10 his sleeve objects

The Duke Alexis Of Russia is again

They are having some prayer meet

they are certainly needed. A middle
aged man told a story as a warning, of
two young men who started to attend
a mission church service, but changed
their notion and went to the Brooklyn
Theatre and were burnt there. 1t is
added that the moral was too plain to
need pointing out.
Well, yes but not long ago fifty or
sixty people were crushed 70 death by
q church falling in while service was
going oG~-the moral is not quite so
plain here. Our own impression is
that there were sinners IN that church
and good people in that theatre.

The refusal was because of the diSiacli-
nation to commit a breach of faith. He
asked for q delay, that Gov. Wells might
make full statement, but as the Governor
did not, the witness was now ready to ans
wer, and said before Gov. Wells wrote that
letter to him he had a conversation with
the Governor with regard to the political
situation and the difficulties with the Re-
turning Board. The Governor proposed
that witness shonld go to Washington and
explain the situation. He concluded he
would write general letter to the witness
. as confidential, and he also wrote another
letter to friend in Washington. When
witness arrived at Wells office next morn
Ing one letter was finished, and he was
writing the other. witness brought away
the letter 10 him open.
The other was sealed and was addressed
to senator West, but had never been de-
livered. Gov: Wells said his life was in
dagger, as he had very difficult job on
hand, and did not see how he could get
through with it.
Wells stated he would like to serve his
party in making a return in favor of
HAYES, but would not take the risk unless
paid for it. The majority was very heavy,
too much for him to handle, and he dfdn
know where TO commence to throw out.
He said the probability was he would
have to throw out the vote of New Orleans
on the ground witness thought he meant
of necessity. Wells asked him to go to
Washington 20 soc influential men and OBJ
taiu protection for him, aud also 10 see
whether he could not get the required mon
ey to satisfy him.
Wells said he ought to have one million
dollars. The witness showed to the Presi-
dent and Secretary Cameron the two let
tiers addressed TO him by Coy, Wells. He
told the Secretary that Gov. Wells wanted
money, but the Secretary declined to have

The contract with Mr.. Navarro was

~ The position taken by Gov.
Hampton does not show good faith in
his assurances to President Hayes, and
ii is not strange that many OF those who
have been in doubt about the wisdom
of the presidents southern policy, feel
that the suspicious they had have been
fully justified. The experiment has not,
II must be admitted, proved q perfect
success. But the Republican party
should not on this one circumstance be
discouraged or withhold their continued
support 10 the president Let the ex.
pertinent be tried now for all that it is
worth, and IL disaster comes to the Re
publican party or the weaker race at the
South as a result, we need not feel that
the responsibility rests wholly with the
administration, for il has been demand
ed by the people with an cmphasi;
which could not be resisted. 1t does
not cease TO be the duty of the govern

Messrs. Oliver Ditson IL Co., whose
fresh and frequently renewed advertise
ments are so conspicuous in our col
umns, have recently added two large
and valuable stocks TO their own, which
now, from being the largest in the Uni
ted States, advances TO be probably The
largest in the world.
One purchase was that of all the pub
LEGATIONS Of j. l.. Peters, of New York
publications universally known and
used. Another was that of all the pub
LEGATIONS of G. ID. Russell Il Co., of Dos-
ton, including much elegant music, and
very many books, and accompanied by
the transfer of the agency of Steinway's
pianos,
Previous purchases OF the stocks OF
Hall, of New York, and of Lee & Wal
ker, of Philadelphia, hadalready increas-
ed the size ofcatalogues, which will now
have TO describe nearly or quite 200O
different music books, and many thou
sand pieces of sheet music. which will
be at once arranged and systematized so
that an order for any known piece OF
book can be answered in few mo-
ments, To keep up the supply, perhaps
SOC, 900 pages (of sheet music) will be
printed per month, and the incessant
labor of few sieam-presses will be
needed for books.
Although large and persistent adver-
tisers, Ditson a. Co. can announce in
this way but small proportion of their
works. They keep on hand, however,
descriptive circulars of (for instance) all
the instruction books, all the school mu-
sic hooks, all the church music books,
&C., which are freely sent TO all requir-
Ing Information.
They are about TO double the size OF
their Boston store, which is the original
one, and the headquarters of publica-
ton and advertising; hut their music
may conveniently be examined at their
sub-stores of Chas. Ii. Ditson & Co.,
84a Broadway, New York (formerly
Peters store), of j, f. Ditson u Co.,
Philadelphia, of Lyon x Healy. Chicago,
and of Dobmeyer T. Newhall, Cincinna-
ii; and also at any other Of the princi-
pal Hpsic stores in the country.
