CHICAGO, February 17.-In August oi
1877 n registered package Of at least
$1,000, and perhaps more, in $5 notes on
the Bank OF Montreal, running from No
142, 900 up TO las, 900, was sent by Bell &
Smithesp, New Yrok agents OF the Bank,
to Fort Benton, to Montana, for a
wealthy Nebraskan, who was then doing
4 very heavy business there in freight and
trading. The package was checked reg.
ularly at Chicago, Omaha, odgen, Cor
inne, Helena and Benton, but when II
was delivered to the consignee at the last
named place, it was discovered TO be a
bogus package, there having been a sub.
stltute somewhere between New York and
Fort Benton. News Of the loss was tele.
graphed all along the line, and q vigor-
Gus investigation was begun. Though
the investigation was kept up with great
vigilance for months nothing was discov-
cred until yesterday, when L. A. Har.

Special Dispatch to the tiueilnau Gazette.
WASHINGTON, February 1.-THE gen.
tleulen connected with the latest sensation
respecting the unwritten Electoral story
have been interviewed, and all deny the
substautial allegations. Randolph Tuck
er says that he never said he would be
compelled to sustain the power Of the
President Of the Senate to count the
votes and declare the result. On The
contrary he says that he had examined
the whole question before coming to
Washington at that session, and was con.
vinced OF the absolute want OF all power
in the President Of the Senate to count
the votes or declare the result As to
the reported Senatorial interview on the
floor Of the House on Friday, Hewitts
only question was to AJAX the name Of the
witness who disposed Of the Confederate
aIchiyes-Pickett.
Randall Gibson explains his reported
conference with Hewitt on the floor ot
the House, by stating that he was not
within twenty miles Of the House on that
day. As to the general question Of the
Electoral vote, Gibson denies everything,
and says Hewitt did not inform him that
President Grant held the opinion that the
presiding officer Of the Senate had the
constitutional right to count anu declare
the votes Of the Electors for President,
and that he had resolved to enforce by
arms, or in any manner, this determine.

man in Washington or elsewhere was
more anxious 10 see Samuel J. Tilden

with tue last Presidential election worth
telling, unless II be, perhaps, 10 regard to
the efforts Of agents, or pretended agents

aERMAHY's UNCERTAIN RELATIONS 7
THE EASTERN QUESTION,

Conflicting explanations are given oil
the reason and character Of the Germanic
intervention, which seems TO have tided
over the recent crisis. A dispatch from
st. Petersburg, dated February II, says
there Is the greatest disappointment
there, because the people expected the
moral support OF Germany, whereas now
they hear the Emperor Of Germany ia
his speech from the throne referring Z
the programme OF the Constantinoplt
Conference as q basis Of settlement.
A Vienna correspondent asserts that
the Russians eagerly deferred to Prince
Bismarck's views when the latter, at Aus
trias solicitation, intimated to Prince
Cor lachakoff that be was straining the
situation beyond reasonable bounds,
The correspondent adds that a rupture
between Russia and Austria was immi.
nent week ago, and in place OF Kaiser
bund an Anglo.Austrian combination
was on the point Of being made. 1tsuited
Bismarck, 10 q certain extent, that Aus
tria and Russia should be at yari-
ance, but It was altogether contrary Il
his calculations that Austria should form
aseparate alliance with England, and had
he not been appealed to in time he woulC
have expressed himself before the Ger.
man Parliament in terms that would have
made matters perfectly clear for all par.
ties. There are still wide divergenciei
between Russia and Austria. Princt
Bismarck will complete the reconcilia
tion at the Congress. England must looh
10 herself II she has interests at stake
which she will certainly be called upon
to defend. There Ia not statesman or
the continent outside Of those directly
concerned that does not admit the chic
object Of the triple alliance 10 be the an
inhalation OF British influence abroad.
A Berlin special apparently confirms q
portion Of the foregoing. II says that i
ia doubtful II Prince Bismarck will make
full exposition Of his Eastern policy
"a was expected, in reply to the interpel-
lation In the Reichstag on Tuesday. 81,
will probably be more inclined TO explain
his views confidentially at one Of his Par
liamentary soirees.
