After he had listened to my story of the
nolle prosequi of his cases and af his giving
Secretary of State Bloxham his confession,
he said: am not going to deny or affirm
anything about the statement or about Blox-
ham. Whatever did was done in the
strictest confidence. and even if he has vio-
lated it will not. AS to the cases against
me they were of no account. No lawyer would
have called them sound cases. They were ridi-
culous, and any Democratic lawyer in the
State will tell you so. Still, confess I was
anxious to have them quashed. Governor
Drew had case in Washington in which he
was charged with timber depreciation. He
heard had q good deal to do with the case,
and he sent me word that he would use his
influence to have my case suspended. ! un-
derstood this and came home. The nolle
prosequi had nothing to do with any politi-
cal deyelODments.

WASHINGTON, April 28.-The fraud mar
ket was rather quiet yesterday. No fresh
invoices of confessions have been received
from the 'sunny South" Nor have w. E.
Chandler, Ex-Attorney General Taft, OF Sen
ator Conkling, unbosomed themselves con-
corning the part which they took in the win
ter of 1867. There san increasing feeling
in the minds Of Republicans who want to be
re elected to Congress, that it will be neces-
sary to drop anti-Hayes talk, and take
ground in the political talk of the campaign,
that although there may have been great
transgressions in 1876, Mr.. Hayes had no
knowledge of them 1.-The same ground that
they SO finely sustained
GRANT AND HIS THIEVES ON
during the last few years of his Presidency.
On the other hand, there is marked dis
position on the part of some Western and
Northern Democrats, not to encourage an
official Investigation of all frauds in Florida
and Louisiana, for fear that Tilden may de-
rive too much personal benefit from it. But
the best mon on the Democratic side and
undoubtedly some of the wost on the other
side, think that there

Which shall go to the bottom of all the wick

New YORK, April 28.-The venerable

Speaking of his ministry, he said it had been

were great, and this, with his feebleness

thanked the congregation for their kindness

thanked God daily, and nothing of which to

kindle no enthusiasm whatever on the local

that he was honestly elected to the Presi-

Sensation In a RfcJ.nrondI Vir0tnta, Hos
pttat-Capers of an Old Lady Who Was
Supposed to Be Dead.
lRichmond, Va, Special april 25) Cincinnati
Enquirer.
Several months ago Mrs. Marion Hillitz,
highly respectable and wealthy German
lady, was taken i'll, and, in order to receive
proper nursing and treatment, was removed
to the hospital of the Little Sisters of the
Poor, in the western part of the city. She
was very popular with the inmates of that
institution, and during her stay made many
friends.
About two weeks since Mrs. Hjllitz, who
had been in bad health, grew suddenly quite
i'll. During her illness she received every
attention from the good sisters, and all that
ing was done. She grew worse, however,
and some of the physicians came to the con-
clusion that she could not live much longer.
Last Saturday night she died, and was laid
| out Sunday night. The body was, according
to the custom, shrowded, and laid out in the
| parlor of the institution. The good sisters,
who had watched by her bedside so faith
| fully, were gathered by the side of the
corpse at midnight, when the clock struck
twelve. The sisters did not grow weary in
their faithful watch over their dead sister.
Suddenly, as they looked upon her face
still in death, the sunken eyes appeared to
| flash, the blood came back to the faded
! cheek. and, as though imbued with super
human energy, the dead body rose up from
its resting place, which was
draped with black pail, emblematic
of mourning, and spoke to the
Eafrighted watchers, saying, Il am not dead
yet, but I will die soon.'' The old lady
then danced around the room, sang and
shouted in a loud and ringing voice. The
inmates of the hospital were thunderstruck
and paralyzed. AS soon as the nurses re-
covered from their fright, they placed the
old lady in bed, where she fingered until
about nine O'Clock, when she again ap.
parently died. The affair has created the
most intense excitement, and to-day thou
sands of persons visited the hospital.

Tho Silrer Dollars,

WARRINGTON, April 28.-The attention of
the treasury officials having been called to
the fact that the silver dollar has gained no
circulation, except as pocket pieces, a leading
treasury officer to-day made the following
explanation:
It has not been possible for the treasury
until now to commence to pay out silver in
considerable quantities, for the simple rea-
son that there were not enough silver dollars
coined to begin to use them in general way.
It twas not practicable to commenced with less
than SO, 900, 900, and it is only nowi that the
treasury has that amount in its possessions.
The secretary of the treasury has decided
that
SILVER SHALL BE PAID OUT
for currency obligations to the extent that
the government is required to destroy notes
under the 80 per cent. retirement provision
of the national bank act. This sum varies
each month. This month the amount will
be about 81 100000. The secretary has or
dered that this amount shall be replaced by
silver dollars to be paid out in the current
course of business. This will be done
through the various sub b-treasuries. This is
the
BEGINNING OF PAYMENTS OF SILVER,
on currency obligations, and it may be that
the secretary will devise every means for
paying out silver; but the question was
asked, 'twhy is not silver paid out the
same as gold in the redemption of interest
coupons?" The answer is 'sthere has not
been silver enough for this purpose, but il
will be paid out to any one who will take il
instead of gold" The treasury department
has number of letters inquiring at what
rate the Mexican silver dollars are receivable
and says as they are not legal tender in the
United States, persons who accept them a
their nominal value do so at their own risk

The Father of the Party in Pennsylvania
Talks---The Party May Not Carry the
State, but Is Making Great Advances.
Especial Telegram to the Globel
New YoRK, April 28.-A Times special
from Pottsyille, Pa, gives an interview with
Hon. F. w. Hughes, respecting the prospect
of the National party in the coming politi-
cal campaign. Hughes is regarded as the
father of the National party in Pennsylvania.
The State convention meets May 8, in Phila-
delphia. AS to the party's strength in this
years campaign, Hughes expressed rather
guarded expectations of carrying the State,
but said there was no doubt the
party wo1ld make great advances
on last years vote and carry many
counties where last year it had scarcely a
showing. He thought there was prob
ability that if they made no mistake in NOM
ination the Nationalists would have plural
ity in the State. The party is not at all q
greenback party, he said. Its fundamental
principle is the power of the people to govern
themselves. AS to money the party believes
the government should have soma authority
to issue money, but that it should make its
currency full legal tender, whatever il
issues. He further says the organization il
not secret, but as open as any political
