Things eliminating here. Answer Ma1's
dispatch to-day. W. CALL.
To Woolley came only this answer
to his impatient soul how torturing:
NEW YORK, Dec 4, g, ITALIA, Fla, Dec.

junction with him. You must coincide or

him consult you. Time impor'

Mr.. Woolley rushed to "Israel," OF
" Noses" or Marble, but not one word
had he received except the following un'
Ineligible dispatch:
NEW YORK, 3.-MANToN MARBLE, ITALIA

fox done time him divided act only Bolivia
with and consult here. mo signature.]
Mr.. Marble could not read this. None
of the conspirators could read it. The
day was slipping away, and the board
might decide on the morrow. Mr.. Marble
telegraphed:
DEC 3.-COI. PELTON, No. ; Creamery
Park, New York: Tell Spain to repeat hi
message in my cipher. 1t is unintelligible
MASToN MARBLE.
Meanwhile Mr.. Woolley received the
following:
NEW YORK, Dec. 4, '6.-TALLA., Fla.

TRANSLATION.
DEC. &c. ". WooLLEY, Tallahassee,
Fla: Reported here that board have given
us one vote. II 50, you will not need to use
acceptance. Advise fully.
This plainly implied that power to
draw and use money had been sent to
somebody, but to whom Mr.. Woolley
could not learn, and in hot haste he de-
MED knowing anything about the
Rhine" (one) vote for the "Lim:i y
(acceptance) said to have been sent.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla, ), '76-HEkRl
HAvEMvYAR. Nc. Is West Seventeenth
street, New York: No one here knows
meaning of words Lima Rhine. Fox.
But at last came the answer to Manton
Marble himself. Let the keen bright
light of publicity fall upon it, and show
four millions of American freemen what
sort of man they voted to make presi
dent Of these United States:
NEW YORK, DECEMBER 4, '6.-TALLA.

should be no divided councils.

Here, then, was the authority so anx
iously awaited. Here was the authorit,
implied but not received, in the dispatc]
of Woolley. eff done only once," be
cause Woolley and Marble had sent tn
same proposition, and Gramercy par
did not want to pay twice for the sam
vote! Sent, hours ago, in that uninte]
ligible dispatch which Marble had to,
tured all his keys in trying to read, be
cause four words had dropped out il
transmission, viz: "tlen very no War
saw" (telegram). Here was the order t.
buy one presidency of these Unite'
States for 1"half hundred best Unite
States documents And the desire'
vote? The conspirators rushed out, an!
it was too late. The following dispatc]
tells the story:

MARBLE.
One secret yet remains: Had the con
spirators reason for their hope? The
can tell, if anybody will now believ
them. Mr.. Woolley's dispatch, nearl
unintelligible, seems to imply a belle
on their part that Attorney Genera
Cooke, who voted with the Republica
member of the board to throw out Dem
ocratic fraudulent returns from Ke
West, had been Influenced by dollars.
The one thing certain is, that the i" do
lars were ready to make Samuel J. Til

Perhaps they came too late.
WHAT HEWITT SAYS.
The Hon. Abram S. Hewitt, who wa
chairman of the Democratic nations
committee during the Tlden campaign
says he never knew anything about tn
cipher dispatches from Florida whic
the New York Tribune has just put
lished. eff the New York Tribune ha
the genuine dispatches" he continued
cit will be the political ruin of the per
son who intended to perpetrate frau
by them"
"Had you ever heard of their exis
ence?" he was asked.
zone day in Washington, during tn
progress of the count, prominent Re
publican came to me and said they wer
in possession of Democratic cipher di'
patches of damaging character, an
that if the Democratic party undertoo
to invalidate the election Of Mr.. Haze
these dispatches would be published. !
is my opinion that another prominen
Republican, who I suspect furnishe
these dispatches to the Tribune, procure
them through the man who mentione
the subject to me. A hint of such di'
patches came to me from another sourc
about the end of December. Whe
