Shermans Bluf-He PrOclaims His Hon.
esty and Defes Investigation.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-In the course of an
interview with Secretary Sherman, an ac-
| count OF which is published In this mornings
Republican, theSecretary expresses his belief
that the proposed Democratic investigation
is not aimed at the Presidents title, but is
simply intended to manufacture campaign
capital. In reference to the allusion to him
and to Gov. Noyes, the Secretary saws:
Il visited the South at that critical period
in the nations history, in the interest of
right and justice. 1t was generally under
stood that the Democrats had determined to
capture both Louisiana and Florida and thus
count IN Mr.. Tilden. l was convinced that a
fair count would give both these States to
Mr. Hayes, and having deep interest in
proper, Just and wise adjustment Of ques-
ton. ton that M was M exciting the public mind to
country, went to Louisiana to supervise the
counting OF votes, solely with view, if pos
sible, to secure an honest count and a just re-
suit.
Il devoted much time and careful attention
to the subject, and am firm in the conviction
that the result as declared in Louisiana falls
short OF doing justice to the Republican tick
ct. Our majority. in that State under free
precincts, some OF which were terribly bull
dozed, would have been much larger than was
determined by the count as presented by the
Returning Board"
:, :, We'll, what can they do with you under
Nothing. The Democrats can pass their
resolution, and can do their worst SO far as
am concerned. [ do not fear them; on the
contrary, 1 shall defy them. My action in
the South was merely in the interest of an
honest election and the public welfare, and
challenge the closest scrutiny into my pur-
poses and acts while in that section pending
the canvassing of the votes"
Then you don't scare 2''
mot at all. The Democrats are heartily
welcome to do their worst NY intentions
and actions were upright, and have not the

CAssIUs N. CLAY AIRS HIS VIEWS.


New YORK, May i16.-Although it is nearly
ten years since Hon. Cassus NJ Clay visited
New York, he seemed to have aged but little.
His beard, close cut, is white and his hair very
gray, but as he stood in the parlor Of Ross
mere Hotel last evening, receiving his
friends, his step was firm and his carriage as
erect as they used to be in the old days when
he faced angry and dangerous throngs, and
talked to Shareholders as no other man ever
did and live.
To a reporter he said: "Well, HAYES has
given us OF the South what we ex xpected from
Tilden. Therefore | say to our people, that
having got what they want from Hayes, they
should not now toss him back into the hands
of Cameron and Conkling for them to handle.
Besides, think that they agreed to stand by
the game OF chance, and in good faith ought
to do so. His policy has made the South
strong and peaceful. | expect to see the
country governed by Southern men and nflu-
ences largely, now that our troubles have
been overcome, because we are more homo
geneous than the people of the North We
have no Jacobinism there Men follow an
issue compactly, while at the North they are
divided into factions, parties, etc. But [ re-
gard all this talk about North and South as
out OF place We are Of one country. | don't
know any sectionalism, except as am called
upon to defend my own people,"

Result of the Attempt to Assass sinate the
Emperor William

LONDON, May l6.-At the German legation
mere, and In Anglo German banking and com
mercial houses, there is belief that the man
Hodels attempt to assassinate the Emperor
William will so strengthen the hands OF the
government as to make easy the passage of
certain severe restrictive measures against
the liberty Of meeting of associations OF Com
munistic and other revolutionary organiza-
items which have for some time been contem-
plated, but which the administration have not
thought 1t prudent to propose. The measures
which Prince Bismarck has instructed the
State Council to consider, in order to guard
against further attempts like Hoders, are un-
Ederstood to embrace a system of police SUPER
vision over socialstic societies, and to provide
means for their suppression under certain
contingencies.
The remarks of the Emperor at reception
Epf ministers on Tuesday We're not fully re-
Ported. His majesty dwelt with some marks
M excitement upon the evidences of the exist
Ance OF widespread organizations, inspired by
HfisheS that could not be reconciled with the
xistence OF law, order and the rights of prop
Erty. The events of the year 1S4S were suf-
cient to show what evils were to be appre-
E5ended from revolutionary spirit; but the
yltators OF ls4S We're conservative as COM
sred with those of the present day, and it
IS now the first and most imperative duty
the government to prevent these agitators
| d revOluttonists from spreading their per-
ious doctrines further or gaining the up
hand.

Supposed Russian Agent Proves To BE
n Communist AgItator.

CHARLESTON, May 16.-It has been rrl-
mored during the past two days that special
agent had arrived here from the North to eff
feet the organization Of all Irishmen in SYM
pathy with the Fenian movement. to be held
in readiness to invade Canada in the event of
war between England and Russia The KEY
note OF the movement is the old adage that
"England's peril Is Ireland's opportunity"
The operations of the supposed agent are
SO secretly conducted that no clue could at
first be obtained as to the truth of the rumor
After dlilgent inquiry reporter found that
its origin was due to the arrival here of a
gentleman from the State of Tennessee by the
name OF OGallagher, who was seen on sew
eral occasions in close conversation with lead
ing lrishmen and workingmen of this city.
OGallagher, having circulated his views in
a quiet way, among the element of the COM
munity which he proposed to act In concert
with, held meeting where the object of his
visit was set FORTH and all persons present
pledged to, secresy Nothing more than this
could be learned concerning the meeting.
O'Gallagher refused to give any inform alton
as to the object of his visit, and those who
have been seen with him are equally uncom-
municatiye.
From other sources sufficient Information
was obtained to make it appear that OGalla-
CHER Is no less than special agent of the
Nationalist or Communist party, which has
already gained such headway in the West and
Northwest. He Is not expected to meet with
much success in this State

Especial to the Demoeratl
WASHINGTON May Notwithstanding
differences of opinion among Democrats as to
the expediency of the Investigation pro-
gramme, there is no longer any doubt that
the movement will be sustained by the party
as whole. The caucus committee has as
surance that any programme 1t may be ne
cessary to adopt on the floor will be supported
by the party.
The Radicals are not entirely agreed as to
THE EXPED1ENUy OF FIL1BUsTERING
beyond certain point. They claim that all
they want is to force the Democrats to put
themselves on record against enlarglng the
scope Of the investigation. and that when this
is accomplished they will cease obstructng
Potters resolutions.
The Democrats, on the other hand, have
notified the Republican caucus that IL fibus-
tering is persisted in, they will sit 1t out until
June 10, and then adjourn sine die. leaving the
public business unfinished, and throwing the
responsibility of obstructng legislation upon
the Radicals.
From all these indications the most prob
able inference is that the Potter resolutions
will get through, substantially In their pres
ent shape, some day next week.
THE LOUISIANA SUPREME COURT.
The intimation In my recent dispatch touch
ing the Supreme Court was based on testi-
mony now in the hands of the managers of the
investigation programme, which will be
brought out as soon rs the inquiry begins.
This testimony relates to the effort Of Hayes
and John Sherman and the other visiting
statesmen to rescue Tom Anderson.
sHERMANs HAND
1t shows that when the indictment was first
found, Sherman instantly com municated with
certain so-called Democrats In New Orleans,
through well-known individuals here, and
that attempt was made to bulldoze Nichols
on the strength Of the alleged bargain of last
February but Nichols refused to interfere.
He promised under certain circumstances to
pardon the criminals, but not until after the
formalities Of justice should have been COM
pleted, and at least one day Of the term
regularly served inside the Pententiary
This not suiting Hayes, Sherman and COM
pany, they abandoned Nichols and
CONCENTRATED THEIR EFFORTS
on the Supreme Court, with the result that
Is historical. The evidence consists mainly
Of kilograms between here and New Orleans
and the statements of some of the parties
concerned as go-betweens. There is nothing
to indicate serious corruption on the part of
the Supreme Court, but the moral courage Of
its members Is made to appear In very un-
favorable light.

Burning of st. Agnes Academy Mt Mem
DhfS.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, May 16.-At G o'clock
this morning St Agnes Academy, on Vance
street. was destroyed by fire, together with
pupils, and the larger portion of the furniture.
How the fire originated is not known, as
the Sisters of st. Dominic, who owned the
academy, were at prayers in the chapel when
the alarm was given, and rushing out, found
the upper portion of the building in flames ;
their efforts were then directed to saving the
pupils, who were very much alarmed and ex-
cited, but the coolness Of the Sisters prevent
ed a panic, and all were safely gotten out.
Soon after the firemen reached the. e.scene the
roof fell in, and Chief McFadden and two
firemen were caught in the hall, and severely,
but not dangerously burned.
The building, library and furniture We're in
sured in the Planters, of Memphis, for
companies, which will fully cover the loss.
There were forty-five boarders in the school,
and all lost their wearing apparel.
