Governor Hendricks returned from Washington

courts all day. l him this evening for a few
minutes, during which I submitted the following
question:
Governor, the Enqutrer and other papers have
proposed ticket Of Mr. Seymour and yourself
They all admit your right to tho Presidential nomi-
nation, but think you should sacrifice your claims
tor the party and accept the second place on the
ticket"

and have said it could not be required or me to
cept nomination for 1t. Any talk OF myself for that
place is wasted. The question of my making any
supposed sacrifice for my party has two sides.

1876 and elected. The republican managers said
their candidate elected and they meant to inau
gurate him. The democratic managers submitted
the rights and decision of the majority to trial by
politicians, giving tho other side majority OF the
jury. These the facts, and the people know
them. think any good man can bo elected by the
democrats, and the party shall have all the aid and

The resignation of Governor elect Cornell as

State Mr. Cornells retirement. it is generally un-
derstood. was intended to pave the way for the APP
pointment Of ex-Congressman Platt whom, 1t Is
understood. Senator Conkling hopes to make
chairman of the committee in place of the
late Senator Chandler. Ex-Collector Arthur
however, has, IL seems, ambitions IN
this direction. and he is by means inclined to
quietly get out OF Mr.. Plstts way He is earnestly
working for the appointment. and large number of
State and city republican politicians pressing
him for the position. Owing to the fact that the
National Committee meets at early date in
Washington there has been opportunity to call
the State Committee together to consider the ques-
tions. The members. however. have been requested
by circular to write in their individual capacity to
the National Committee expressing their views on
the subject, and the result is that they about
equally divided between Arthur and Platt. This
division in the party here will. it is believed. make
the selection Of New York man as chairman Of the
committee An utter impossibiity.

General Garfield. This gentleman reports that hc
hnds a strong disposition on the part OF many of
tho Senators and members elect to the Legislature
to question the claims of the friends OF the Cen
era, who now give out that they already lack but
four votes of enough to nominate that gentleman
ON the first ballot. From what could be learned 1t
was apparent that u strong feeling OF antagonsm
was being formed against General Garfield. espe-
cially in the large Misunderstanding districts. on
count of the free trade proclivities OF that
gentleman, which often come to the sur
face. Another element oppose him on the
ground that he was too willing an instrument
in the hands OF the administration, and only
took strong republican grounds when IL became
necessary him to do in order to keep in full
accord with his party and during the extra
sion of Congress he too much inclined to CON-
promise the principles of the party he represented at
the demand of the democratic majority. SO far as

INsINCERITY OF THE CUBAN sLAvE-OwNERs-
PREPARING FOR LONG DELAYs-REAsoN AND
PASSION.
HAVANA, Dec. G, 1879
The question Of the abolition Of slavery in this
island. as it approaches solution in the Cortes at
Madrid, is the absorbing topic Of discussion by
all parties. The insincerty of the slave in
their professions Of desiring reforms is shown in
the tone of their newspaper organs on the subject
of abolition. The irreconcilables among the
planters held q meeting the Sd inst. to protest
against what they regard the too liberal spirit
OF the Abolition bill before the Cortes, but the
meeting failed to accomplish anything. and 1t was
left for the organs of the conservative element
the Voz de Cuba and the Dsario de la Mar,na-to give
expression to the views of the planters i'll editions
of those papers sent to Madrid by the mails which
left Havana on the date OF the meeting. The papers
named are Of the opinion that several weeks must
eapse before the abolition project be fully dis
cussed In the Cortes. The Ddrio de Ia Marina
cudes an editorial article with the declaration that
the discussion Of the bill will naturally be perplexed
and prolonged and should it pass the Cortes, weeks
must intervene before it can become law by the
sanction OF the King. This delay the DidriO pro-
iesses to believe. wiu afiord time Tor showing de-
fects in the measure which may prove fatal to its
success. The Vos de Cuba unreservedly condemns
the bill. That paper says:-"The worst symptom
which We note In Spain and in this country upon
trying to realize reform OF such vital interest is
that cold to have been LETT outside, and
that passon has invaded and is reignng everywhere
No nation ever in q better position than are
to resolve this grave question satisfactorily. We
have the experience to guide us of other nations
who have gone before us in the same reform, and
thus we ought to make our way in better manner,
especially when we are not pushed by Inevitable
occurrences was, for example. the case with the
United States' In the article the Vos de CUBA
argues that slavery was abolished in the United
States only consequence, and by
as an object of the war; aud paragraph of
letter from Mr.. Lincoln to Horace Greeley
is quoted in which the President said My object
is to the Union. and by no means to save to
destroy the institution of.slavery If can the
Union without giving liberty to u single slave shall
do so." The article seeks to show that foreign
tions would not interfere with any method Spain
might adopt for the abolition Of slavery, and tho
example is cited OF the policy Of Brazil in fixing
thirty years the period for gradual emancipation.
to which no foreign Powersmade objection.

1t was believed III many sections that il General
Garfield failed the first and second ballot his

1t is apparent thar should there be any influence
from the administration detected in the Senatorial
contest this year it would prove disastrous to the
candidate. whoever it might seek TO aid. There
is already feeling adverse to any interference
by the Washington wing OF the party and IL
would be prudent for them to stand back. There
must be no Toledo Post Office influence Cleye-
