The Tribune says the world will find it i'm.
possible to accept his naked assertion as final.
First because it is too late; second, it covers
too much; third, it is fatty contradctsd by bis

evidence.
The Times says that Tilden's denial will
probably be accepted as conclusive by those
looking for pretext favorable to his acquital.
u reality, however, it is no better than an
evasive protestati0n of purity.

lhe Efforts Made by One of Morrissey,s

Especial Despatch to the New York Times.1
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE attention of Mr..
John Ray, who was the attorney for the Louis
lana Returning Board during the counting Of
the Presidential vote at the last election, was
this evening called to the statement that an.
peared in Yesterdays Graphic, to the effect
that John Morrissey had arranged to secare
majority OF the Returning Board for Tildep,
but that the scheme fell through because Mr.
Hewitt informed Morrissey that Mr. Tden
would not countenance any such transaction.
Mr.. Ray confirms part of this story. He
says that during the progress of the count he
was visited by man who had Just arrived
from New York. This person had formerly
been New Orleans gambler, but was at that
time interested in Morrissey's pool business in
New York. He frankly informed Mr.. Ray
that he came prepared to pay 100000 to the
Returning Board for declaring the result in
favor of the Tilden Electors, and asked whether
that sum could accomplish the desired object.
Mr.. Ray told the gambler that not even 81 .0OO,-
600 could purchase any member of the board;
that, in fact, there was no pecuniary considera-
ton that would induce the board to render any
other decision than was just and right The
gambler called on Mr.. Ray second time and
endeavOred to induce him to Sound" the
members of the board and ascertain what
amount of money they would take to give
Louisiana to Tilden. Mr. Riy Indignantly
spurned the proposition and declined to hold
further intercourse with the gambler, who,
evidently realizing the hopelessness of consum-
mating his infamous purpose, Immediately re-
turned to New York.
