E~x.Presidens Grant for L. .. Sem

New YORK, January 16.
The Trijune's Washington correspondent
says: A private letter received from Chi
cago, to-day, by a prominent officer Of the
| Government, says the friends Of Logan,
| Oglesby and Farwell have had a conference,
aud have, with the consent Of their princi-
| pals, agreed to unite On ex-Piesident Grant
for the United States Senatorship. The
| reason given for this is that it would bridge
over the pending contest, and that tho
election OF Grant to the Presidency in 1880
would doubtless be attended by the choice
| Of O Legislature which would not be 80 di-
vided mp into personal factions as the pres
ent body is.
NoTE.-This rumor receives no credit
whatever in Chicago official circles. In
fact, those in position to know, state that
there is absolutely no foundation for the
above ACKNOWLEDGEMENT PRESS AGENT.
