Patching mp the Returnx-The
Matter Being Argued Before
the Supreme Court,

ArGusTA, November 2O.-Hon. Austin
Harris, Senator elect from Washington
county, repaired to the State House this
morning, under a conditional promise
from Councillor Foster that he may see
the returns from his county. On reaching
the State House, however, he was inform.
ed by Foster that Council had decided
otherwise and he could not be permitted
to see them. Harris then sent letter
to the Governor and Council, reciting that
he is Senator elect from the District OF
Washington county, according 10 the re.
turns Of the several towns as published in
September; that on Tuesday he addressed
a communication to the Board, asking
that the Commission examine the official
returns with view OF correcting errors
therein, II any found, claiming this as his
right.
Hefurther says that after waiting three
days without an answer to his communi.
cation, he is informed that he cannot be
permitted TO inspect the returns. He
now requests the furnishing in writing,
with 9 statement Of the er.
rors in the returns from the coun.
ty Of Washington in the vote for
Senator, il there be any. in order that
be may at once have the necessary correc.
tions made in accordance with the laws
oil the State. Foster informed Harris that
be did not regard Council as under any
obligation to withhold certificates Of
election under the 20 day order, but that
the certificates might all hs issued to-day
or tomorrow If the Governor or Council
should see fit to so order. The chief in
terest in the case is to-day transferred to
Bangor, where the proceedings are being
initiated before Chief Justice Appleton,
to test the question Of right OF candidates
and their attorneys to elections.
Hon. Jas. H. Williams, Ex-Governor OF
the State, and candidate OF the Demo.
cratic party two years ago, visited the
State House to-day and expressed himself
very freely against any attempt to count
out Republican Senators and Representa-
tives.
Governor Garcelon is absent from the
city. He is understood to be in consulta-
ton, at Portland, with William l.. Put
nam as to the extent Of his right to resist

gram from Mr.. DllwOrth, then in New
York, directing him to discontinue III,
pudding department after Saturday next
This notice was given to the fifty or sixt,
men who are employed in this part O
tho mill and 1t occaSioned considerable
comment among iron men, who assigned
various reasons for the stoppage. A TEE
graph representative had q talk with q
member Of the firm this morning, and was
told that the intention was to manufacture
the spikes from old rails instead Of piu
iron as heretofore, and he explained thai
this did away with the necessity OF pud.
ding.
i, -po you OF find rails much cheaper than
pig iron?" asked the reporter.
Yes, iorour business we do. II l had
10 pay $40 more per ton Tor them than for
pig | would take them. Our firm Ia
peculiarly situated In regard to old rails,
II bar or sheet mill should use them
!!hey would produce very poor article Of
iron, but with us It's different. They
make excellent spikes, and are in yery
good shape for working. We break them
into lengths, tie them into punches oi
three, and pass them into the heating
furnace. Then they are slid into the rolls
and passed through the ten sets at once
and come out ready for the spike ma.

-. III that is 50, why have you been pud.
ding iron at all?"
1--WE couldn't get enough rails: there
were none in the market. We've been
pudding only about six months in The
past four years. We use old rails always
when we can get them"
now?" ' AAe'
There are pretty scarce, l believe; but
we have enough on hands or ordered to
last US for the next six or eight months .
DO you think that there is much OF
this iron used in the city now?"
Yes, believe there Is ssome, but NOT so
much as there was. The revival in busi.
ness has had the effect Of nearly stopping
the use OF old rails. Fig is now worth
SSl or $50 for good quality, think. and
rails can't he bought for that figure. A
party from New York was here lust lii

for obvious reasons the landlords can not

CHICAGO, November ia persona
friend Of General Grant advises pres
representative here that that distinguished
citizen Is more concerned about employ
ment than anything else. He has but q
small fortune, and the General says be
must now address himself to his own bust
ness. Heis anxioust to get to Philadelphia.
where, 1t Is understood, his personal
affairs are discussed and looked after.
From there he will 90 10 Havana and
Mexico, unless, he says, he should be ad.
yised Of business opening, in which case
he would not go TO Mexico. This points
directly to the Nicaragua Canal in which
he has always taken deep interest.
Gen. Grant was educated an engineer,
and 10 be at the head OF company, to
build such vast work, In which the Ma.
tons OF Europe, as well as America, are
interested, would be 10 erect monument
fame, congenial occupation and handsome
salary, whereas in Presidential candida
cy there could be no additional reputation,
and might be great peril. Il, however, the
coveted employment should not offer,
then Grant would yield to the pressure OF
his friends, and the spokesman, and con-
sent TO take the Presidency. This un.
doubtedly, correctly represents Grants
position to-day. But II Is also certain that
the family and the spoilsnen are not
looking 10 any Nicaraguan canal. They
are seeking the Presidency, and the pow.
er which 1t carries with 1t. They have had
this In view since the tour was begun, and
have been working to that end. They have
had the influence OF the Government and
powerful press to help on the work OF
creating sentiment to carry Grant back to
the White House. ..
The most efficient worker OF the Ring
engaged in this is the Assistant Postmaster
General Several trips have been made
to prepare and make plain the way. Lat.
terly, L. B. Washburue aud his Galena co.
workers have joined in, and are pushing
on the "boom." Then Colonel Fred,
Grant and his brilliant wife would like to
take charge OF the White House. These
are some Of the influences brought to bear
on Grant to induce him to yield. But
give lin something to engage his atteu-
tion, aud he will resist them successfully.
General Grant does not forget persons he
dislikes. When riding with the commit.
tee here, it Is reported, be was asked By
Mr.. Hoyne il all the things attributed to
him as having been said Of Bristow were
true. He replied that he had not seen
all the papers printed, but he was willing
to father them" It was, perhaps, in
keeping with this feeling that the family
OF Babcock was conspicuous since Illinois
was reached, and Mcdonald was embOld.
ened to visit Chicago.
Galusha A. Grow, OF Pennsylvania, ar.
rived here last evening and visited Gen.
Grant and Z. B. Washburne this morning.
He returns home tonight. Perhaps these |
will convince General Logan
that it is useless for him to contest the |
friendship Of General Grant with Wash
burne.

TFinlug.

WASHINGTON, November 20.-Secretary
schurz yesterday received the following
telegram from Gen. Hatch:
Los PISos, COL, Nov. II.
To The Secrdary Of The Interior, Washington
Chief ouray, this morning, asks iol
time, and believed that 1t is to the interes
of the government to take to Washing
ton such chiefs as We may designate, moi
to exceed ten, including some of the
White river chiefs. In the meantime
while waiting for your answer, we viii
continue to take such testimony as can be
obtained here and elsewhere.
[Signedl GEN. HATCH.
A dispatch from Gen. Adams was also
received to the same effect as above, but
accompanied with strong recommends,
tion that 0uray's request be granted, with
view 10 promoting future and final ar.
rangements for the Utes.
In response tothese dispatches Secretary
sChurz has telegraphed the following:
To Gen. Hatch, tte Commission, Los Pino,
Agency:
Ouray's proposition TO come to Wash.
ington with some Chiefs is acceptable,
with the proviso that we cannot receive
here as delegates any White River Utes
who were concerned with the crimes CON-
mitted there. Their talk before the Com.
mission as II no crimes had been commit.
ted to their knowledge is the merest
tFinin1 DnPuu 1annnt axnaok ,hn c.,
eminent TO accept such testimony or act
upon any assumption so absurd.
There can be no doubt that Douglass
Jack aud other White River chiefs know
who attacked Thornburg and who massa.
cred the agency people, Their concerted
effort to shield the guilty parties by the
transparent plea OF ignorance as TO well
known facts raises strong presumption
against themselves, and they are therefore
not fit men to treat with. They can clear
themselves so as to be received here only
by pointing out and surrendering the
guilty parties. They must all be made to
understand that unless this is done the
whole tribe must be held responsible and
be dealt with accordingly.
You may assure Ouray that his LOYALTY
is highly appreciated by the government
and his advice always welcomed, but the
question whether the guilty parties must
be surrendered in face Of which tribe must
be proceeded, is not open for negotiations.
0uray's visit here can have only two OBJ
jects, viz: To recommend mercy in indi-
vidual cases, and then his recommends
tions will be received with respect; and
secondly, to discuss with us what arrange.
ments are to be made for the Utes here
after. II the Commission has any further
facts or views to state in regard to the dele
CATION do SO without delay.

THE LABOUCHRE-LAWSON LIBEL
SUR.

LONDON, November 9O.-Iu the Court Of
Queens Bench, to-day, Lord Chief Justice
CoCkburn delivered the judgment refusing
the application Of Labouchere, Of the
Truth, for mandamus to compel Sir
Robert Garden Magistrate, to hear further
evidence in justification OF the alleged
libel against II. L. Lawson, of the Daily
Telegraph. The Lord Chief Justice said
that the attempt to have the court pre-.
scribe to the magistrate what evidence be
should receive or reject, was certainly
anomalous. The Court, he said, had no
authority in that form to do any such
thing and it ought not to hesitate the
movement to discharge the rule ni6.

DEAR SIR-0wing to absence, Mr.. List
did not answer your letter OF Sd inst. He
now hands me your questions, and shall
only say what personally know at this
time.
The Gas Works are owned by the city, and
have been source Of large revenue even
from the low price Of gas. The city took
the works from the Gas Company about
five years since, which 1t had the right 10
do under the charter. The company al that
time charged $ per 1000 feet. Since the
city took the works gas has been reduced,
from time to time, to 81 20, with ten per
cent of II paid within ten days. Since
the city purchased the works, the profit
has been sufficient to pay the purchase
money, and have spent $40, 1000 in i'm,
provements, and, believe, paid for. Our
gas Is made from Monongahela river coal
