AN IMPORTANT OONTRADICfION.

The champion falsiher, the New
York World, asserted few days since,
that the War Department recently is
sued an order transferring Gen. Sheri-
dan to New York, thus superceding
Gen. Hancock in the command Of the
Department of the Atlantic, and that
the latter officer, upon the receipt Of the
order, rendered his resignation. In its
issue of the 9th inst, the World had to
take back all it said on the subject, the
editor using the following language:
ITTe are requested, in behalf of Gen.
Hancock, to state that the assertion at
tributed to him in regard to certain or
ders, alleged to have been received by
Hancock, transferring him to the COM
mand Of the Pacific coast, was entirely
unfounded. Hancock has received no
orders transferring him from the COM
mand he now holds, nor did he receive
any intimation whatever that such or
ders were ever contemplated. or
course, therefore, Hancock neither re-
fused to be transferred to the Pacific
coast, nor did he tender his resignation
of the high position which he holds in
the army, on the strength of orders
transferring him. Hancock has no in
formation on the subject not derived
from newspapers. He had no COM
munication whatever with the authori-
ties at Washington in relation to the
subject, until after it had been publish
ed as from Washington.

WAR TALK In WASHINGTON.

The Democratic meeting in Wash
ington, last Monday, under the auspi-
ees OF the Tilden and Hendricks
reform club, was very fully attended.
Ford's Opera House, where the demon
stration took place, being literally
crowded, with many ladies, despite the
bad weather. Among the vast audience
Richard T. Merrick was chosen presi-
dent of the meeting, and the list of vice
presidents and secretaries embraced the
names of number of the Oldest and
most substantial citizens of the District.
The speakers in addition to the presi-
dent were Congressman Watterson,
Banning, Tarbox, Hooker, Gen. Force,
Pulitzer, and others. The general
tone of the speeches was animated in
favor of the appliance of all means
of peace to settle the pending complica-
tions. The speakers avowed themselves
earnestly desirous of some method of
solving the great question at issue.
Watterson said he expected ON the day
Of counting theyote, tosee one hundred
thousand unarmed men in Washing
ton, patiently awaiting the result, and
determined in their views of the Ameri-
can right of appeal. He knew that all
appliances of peace would be used in
the settlement of the question, but the
people were not prepared to submit to
usurpation, in the event of which
second jackson would be ready to lead
them to the preservation of the consti-
tuition and government.
Banning said: The people want peace,
but there must be no bayonets in the
House.
Several of the speakers declared their
belief that the rank and file. of the Re-
publican party would be with the mass
of the Democracy in their views as to
how the question should be settled
by the count being made, as has always
been the case.
The resolutions of the meeting de-
clared it the duty of both houses of con-
gress to exercise the usual and concur
rent jurisdiction on the final examina-
tion and counting of the electoral bal
lots. They declare Tilden and Hem
bricks elected and believe there is vir-
tue enough left in the hearts of their
fellow citizens without distinction of
party to discover by peaceful means,
and to enforce by constitutional agen-
cies, solution of the present difficult
ties. If this faith should he deluded,
they then without vaunt or menace, but
in spirit Of sad and resolute determi-
nation, resolve to do their full duty in
any emergency, and appeal to their fel-
low citizens throughout the country to
defend their right and preserve and de-
fend the constitution and government.
The Theatre was tastefully decorated
with flags and notices.

A REBEL MEETING IN RICHMOND, VA

A REBEL MEETING IN RICHMOND, VA.
In pursuance Of orders from W. T.
Pelton of New York, the nephew Of his
uncle Sam, the Democrats Of Rich
mond, Va, met in the state capitol,
Monday evening, to express their views
in regard to the existing political situa-
tion. OF the main action taken the
Associated Press has informed us, but
of the turmultous and unharmonious
character of the meeting we have heard
nothing.
Judge Merdith moved that a COM
mittee Of nine be appointed to report
cut and dried resolutions which he had
in his pocket, This was strongly op-
posed by many, among them Captain
Chamberlain, editor Of the ssstate'' of
that city, whose remarks were greeted
with Kisses and cries of sspnt him out. I"
The meeting met at four in the after
noon, and it was not until 6:45 when
Meridith's motion for committee was
declared carried by the chairman. The
vote however, was SO uncertain, to say
the least, that the decision of the chair
raised general laugh.
During the debate, Col. Gregory, of
Petersburg, supporting the motion for
committee, said that though the Repub-
Icans threaten war If Hayes be not al
lowed to assume the presidency, they
are merely playing game of bluff, at
which both sides could play. but il war

The Asitabula Investigation.

Ihe Ashtd0utd Investigation.
Ashtabula, Jan. Geo. NJ. Reed,
superintendent of bridges for the Lake
Shore railway for five years, testified
that he considered himself perfectly
familiar with the Ashtabula bridge,
and thought it very strong and heavy
in all parts. He never received any
reports of anything serious being the
matter with it. It never needed any
but trifiing repairs. He made criti-
cal examination of it last September.
He had studied bridges 25 years. This
was put up in 1865, and was considered
above danger.
A. L. Rogers, bridge carpenter, Of
the road, corroborated Reed.
Damage on the River.
Cincinnati, Jan. 9.-The Ohio river
has been alternately freezing and break
ing up lately, and considerable damage
is reported along its banks. The Ash

The Oregon Iurestigation.
The Investigation of the Oregon elec-
toral case was continued to-day.
Klippell, one of the Democratic can
didates for elector, testified that money
was collected by Mr.. Ballinger to pay
Cronin's expenses and to pay the fees
of lawyers who argued against issuing
a certificate Of election to Watts at the
hearing before Gov. Grover.
Other witnesses were called, apparent
ly to confirm or contradict the state
ments of previous witnesses.
The Probable Agreement.
The opinion is strengthening that
the compromise committee will agree
on a bill making concurrent action
necessary to reject any states, and fix
ing such limit to debate as will allow
the completion Of the work before the
close of the session.
Democratic Deception.
The Democratic stories that the
Florida committee will unanimously
report that Florida went for Tilden, is
false. The Republican members say
on the contrary that the evidence has
not disturbed the $50 majority for
Hayes, and they think Stearns is also
elected.

San Francisco, Jan. 9.-The contest

OF James Lick, receives $3.50. 900, from
which he pays S72, 900 to other heirs in

trustees in position to carry out the
trust deed, and gives clear title to all
