ratner or threatened financial dis
eussion. He has had his agents
here talking with Seuators and
mem bers, and he has been inform
ed that Bayard was not indulging
in childish play, but on the con-
trary, means to stand by his reso-
luton until every Senator at least
Is placed on record, either favoring
or opposing honest, constitutional
money. To have Congress engage
in a lengthy financial discussion
this session would result in either
the success or defeat of Bayaro's
resolution. Success would make
Bayard the most popular man in
the East and South, where Demo-
cratic votes are needed, and defeat
would undoubtedly embolden the
Greenback element to such an ex-
tent as to enable them TO go to the
Democratic National Convention
to demand that legal tender
greenback plank be inserted in the
Democratic platform. Either of
these resolutions would be distaste-
ful, not to say fatal, to Tilden.
Bayard's success would be Tilden's
defeat in the Convention, and q
Greenback plank in the Democrat
ic platform would seriously em-
barrass the Eastern Dem ocracy,
and if by any accident Tiiden
should be nominated for the Presi.
dency on such platform he is
shrewd enough to know be could
not carry New York or New Jersey.
The OHIO senatorship.
NEW YORK, Dec. 24th. The
Worlds Washington special says
of the Ohio Senatorship: 1t is now
said that it is by no means certain
that Garfield will have walk
over, but, on the contrary, that the
contest is likely to be close one.
Garfield's friends allege that sew
eral of the great corporations,
notably the Union Pacific and
Texas-Pacific, are using money to
promote the election OF Matthews.
But this is believed 70 be mere
talk; the reason for his increased
strength being his open advocacy
of Grants denomination. Garfield
has been afraid to commit himself,
and is supposed to have q
lurking kindness for Blaine or
Sharon, and to be hostile to Grant.

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-The Wash

Senator BOota oa tae Presidency.
NEW YORK, Dec. "a Senator
Booth said yesterday that he did
not think popular feeling in his
State was in favor of the nomina-
tion of Grant. ALTHOUGH the ex-
President would undoubtedly en-
joy strong support if nominated,
and would carry the State, the peo-
pie were opposed to q third term,
except under exceptional circIm-
stances, and Grants personal
friends did not believe a third term
would be desirable for him. The
Senator thought Blaine would be
California's choice among Repu b.
licans, and Grant probably the
second choice.

NEW YORK, Dec. 24th.-San
Domingo dates to the Sth instant
confirm the announcement of the
| fight of President Guillermo. The
city suffered from hunger before
the surrender, and Guillermo is
greatly disliked, as being RESPONSE
bie for the distress. AS q conse-
quence of this feeling, the trium-
phant entry of the revolutionary
army on the 18th of November was
attended with perfect order. 1t is
still unknown who will be the
next President. Peace has been
entirely restored. None of the
plantations have beeu destroyed.
