THE STEWARr CRAZE Robbery.

CURIOUS VISIT OF 4 MAN TO THE SEXTON OF ST.
MARKS CnURCU-THE BIT or PAPER WHICH
FITTED AN APERTURE IN TIE VELVET COVER
ING OF THE COFFIN.
Some weeks ago il was stated by several Of the
New-York journals that the body of \. T. Stewart
had been recovered. These rum0rs were based on
the fact that Chief Donovan, OF lIoboken, and Cap
tain Kealy, chief of the detective force, had fol-
lowed a clew into NewJersey, which led them to the
belief that the body had been carried TO spot
near Passalc. Bull" Kelley, 1t is thought
was the driver of the wagon which was supposed
to have carried the remains The wagon was
traced from the HobOken ferry, and was known 10
have carefully avoided passing through the toll
gates, in some instances making detour of a
couple of miles and then returning to the main road
again. Kelley disappeared and has not been
since the body stolen.
Two morning papers about a week ago were in
tuced to publish stories to the effect that the body
had been recovered. This was done at the instiga-
ton of interested persons to make the robbers be-
lieve that what supposed TO be the body OF Mr..
Stewart had been returned. 1t was thought that
this would force the thieves into negotiations for
the return of the body.
subsequently THE TRIBUNE. as by authority pub
lshed in positive terms that the body had not been
found. On Monday person in authority called on
Mr. Hammil sexton of st. Marks Church, and
asked permission to open the grave Of Mr.. Stewart
and examine the coffin. This privilege the sexton
refused to grant, the ground that il was private
property and that no one except the owners
could give the desired permission. The person then
went away and soon afterward returned with writ
ten authority from Judge Hilton. In order that
their movements might not be observed, il was de-
termned TO open the grave early on the following
morning. At about j:30 o'clock Tuesday morning
the grave was opened and the coffin was taken out

noticed that on the top of the coffin there was an
aperture in the velvet covering. 1t was irregular
in shape, evidently having been cut with an Ordi
nary knife by the robbers for the purpose OF ideni-
fcation. There were FIVE sides to the cut and the
entire length was about five inches and its
coffin dug up Tuesday had in his possession "a piece
of brown paper which was sent by the thieves as a

TILE PRESIDENT EIRM.

AN USsATIsFACIoRY INTERVIEW WITH NJ. DUFAURE
PROBABLE COURSE OF EyENTs-1HE CABINET
TO BE FORCED TO PRESS THE DEMANDS OF THE
MAJORITY.
PARIS, Wednesday Jan. 90, 1879.
NJ Dufaure, this morning, at the Palas d ElysGe,
had conference with President Mae cMahon, the re-
suit of which has not yet rnspired, but it is gen.
orally believed that the Marshal persists in his re-
fusal to sign the decrecs.
The Ministers will meet tomorrow ut Versailles
prior to the opening of the Chambers TO deliberate
upon the 5 tuaton.
Everything indicates that President MacAlahon
will resign. 1t may be considered that he has al
ready morally done so The probable course of
events IL as follows.
Tomorrow the Government will formally an
nounce the situation to the Chambers, and report
the Presidents refusal to sign the DEGREES respect
ing tho great military commands.
The Senate and Chamber of Deputies will pass
votes of confidence i'll the Ministry, who will thus be
obliged to press their demands OH MacMahon for
changes in the staff Of Generals.
A Joint Congress of the Senate and Chamber of
Deputies will afterward be summoned to
nominate a new President 1t is possible
that the Congress will not meet until
Friday. In the interval between MacMahon'S
resgnaton and the election of a new President, the
COUNCIL o. ministers Will De invested Wltn tnc
executive power in accordance with the COnsttu-
ton.
Much excitement prevails in Paris, but there has
been no disturbance.
Some politicians think MacAlahon's resignation
would be an excellent thing because the President
should not be allowed to perpetuate an ambiguous
StuatIOn and q crisis anyhow was inevitable
Others prefer to see MacMahon remain until the eX
piraton of his legal term.
Speculation is rife respecting the Presidents snc-
ccssor. Dufaure Is too old. The Duke d. Aumao
and General Chanzy have lost the chances they
formerly possessed. The. only candidates mem
toned are Admiral Pothuare and NJ. GrGyy, with
the chances III favor of the latter.
After the conference between President Mac
Mahon and NJ Dufanre to-day, Cabinet council
was held at noon and another This afternoon, when
the President of the Senate and the President of
-he Chamber of Deputies were present. Rumors of
the imminent resignation of the Marshal and the
assembling of the Chambers i'll Congress obtain
general credence
The R6pWJlque FrancdSe, NJ Gambetta's organ,
says: Those vino use the threat of Presi-
dent MacMahOn's resignation as q scare-crow
are mistaken. France does not desire, but
does not fcar a change in the head
of the Government, What France will
not have is unconstitutional resistance to the will
of the nation.p The Dir-Ncpriimc Steele says: an.
Dufaure President of the Council, had an interview
with President MacMahon last night, and President
MacAIahOn persisted in his refusal to sign the de-
cree changing the Corps commanders"
