Special Dispatch to The Trdh,ine-
WASHINGTON, y. G., Jan. 1S.-Hendricks, OF
Indiana, has been here for some DAYS consider
ing the political question, especially with view
to the Presidential nomination iu 1850. 50 lar
as he is personally concerned, he has discovered
undoubtedly that tue drift ut present is III favor
Of Thurman rather than hiusse!f, and at Ohio
ratllcr than Indiana. Hendricks is reported to
have especially endeayorel 10 sec II some ar
rangcment cannot b. reached Whereby the
Eastern and Western Democrats cat, come to-
gether on financial platform. Ruinor says
that, finding Eastern men inlcxible, he has as
sured them that Western Democrats will meet
tho East on grounds acceptable to the Eastern
Or hard-moncy wing OF the party. He is re-
ported to believe that the Western Democrats
CAN BE UNITED
on policy accepting resumption as a hxesl 1act,
maintaining the issuance oil Government notes.
hut dcpriying these at all early date OF their
1ega1-tcnucr quality. This, II he is rightly re-
ported, lie regards as sound Democratic doc
trinc, holding that it is undemocratic to make
paper money lega1-tender.
1t is supposed that Scuator Peadleton will
support this view also, aud il is possible that
the Ohio Democratic platform for next fall may
on the currency question take this ground, fa-
voring a contracted issue OF Treasury nOtcs as a
part OF the paper currency, but requiring that
they be deprived Of their le,;al-tender quality.

GARLAND AND BAILEY'S RETREAT.
Sp-cini DsDltch to The Tribune
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 1S.-rhere is much
speculation here to know why Garland aud
Bailey, Of the Teller Committee, have decided
to come to Washington instead Of accompany
ing tile Committee to South Carolina, and why
It was considered necessarily to appoint two Denl~
ocrats to 60 to Charleston. Que theory is that
tie Democrats discovered facts which made it
necessary for them to consult with their party
associates here. Another explanation is that
Garland and Bailey arc both interested in tue
Texas Pacific Railroad, especially in securing an
eastern terminus on the Mississippi near tothcir
own sections, and that they returned in view OF
the fact that the bill is now likely
to receive early attention. The Geueva-Award
bill has been most in the way Of tue Texus-Pa-
citic bill, and, now that the former has passed
the House, the Texas-Pacifc will liKely be
brought 10 at an c1Fiv day.

THE TRUE STATE OF FEELING AMONG TIE DE-
atOCRACT.
Special Dispatch TO The Tribune
WASHINGTON, D. e., Jan. lS.-Thcre are indi-
cations that the Democrats are forming cotn-
bination to prevent the passage of tue resolu-
tion authorizing the investigation Of the cipher
dispatches. L number OF influential Demo-
Gratis, not members OF either House, are here,
anl, in their private conversation, say the party
should avoid the investigation. There is
manifest hostility to it on the
part. Of tho Democrats OF the Potter
Committee, and in the House generally
t. ID to that is the fact that Gen.
Butler does not conceal his opposition to the
investigation, and to the appropriation OF the
necessary money for it. Gen. Butler says that
ul1 that has ever been charged as to the cipher
dispatches is that they show an ottempt oD the
part OF Tilden or his agents to secure the Presl~
dency by means Of bribery. This bribery,
however, Butler says was not successful,
and the persons implicated hold no
positions under the Government. 1t Is
therefore matter with which, he thinks, Con-
gress has no concern, and III the investigation
Of which it has no right to spend public money:
Had the bribery been successful. and the title ot
the Presidency been tainted With It, then an i'll
yestigation, which could have been the basis or
Impeachment, might have been proper and Law
fui. Indeed, the indications are that Moses will
never squir1n under oath it his party eau pre-
vent it.

NOTES AND NEWS.


Su.c:a1 Dlsrc.ch to The Tribune.
WASHINGTON, D. e., Jan lS.--Auother obsta-
Gle has been found to prevent the starting OF
the Blodgett Committee for ChicaMo. The
Geneva Award bill is HOW out Of the way, and
SO far as that is concerned the Committee could
start tonight, but there is no appropriation for
the expcuses of the Committee. Harrtson's
resolution did not provide al appropriation, and
it is discovered that the money cannot he takcu
from the contingent fund OF the House. One
of the members OF the Committee said to-day
that they certainly should not start until means
were provided, as nune Of them intended 10 pay
their own expenses. L member OF the Com
mittec also said that; 50 far rs he could learn,
the charges against Blolgett are very vague
and indefinite
Some of the opponc9s OF the Reagan bill
here said that thcy had'infor,natlon that it was
drawn br an attorney Of tue Penusylyania Ruii-
road Company.
CoSKLrSG AND SHERMAN.
Il is reported that Senator Conkling has found
former Special Agent of the Treasury named
Madee who claims to have in his possession
DOCUMENTS to show that some, at least, Of the
charges made BY Secretary Sherman against Ar
thur aud Cornell are not true.
The House Judiciary Committee has agreed
to bill OF very great interest to the legal pre-
lession. It provides that the Supreme Court
reports shall be published By the Government
Printer, aud sold By him Mt 10 per cent above
cost. H. is authorized to sell the reports to
booksellers who will give bond not to charge
more than Is per cent above the actual cost for
the reports Under the present system The
publication OF the Supreme Court reports is
monopoly enjoyed BY the official reporter Of the
Court, who derives i very handsome income
from ttis business. The profession, Of course,
could obtain the works published, as this new
bill proposes, for very much less money than is
now required.
CHEF JOSEPH
has never surrendered by treaty the land which
he claims to OVID III Idaho, and to which he
SAYS it was promised at the time OF his sur1cn-
der, that he should return. There is no Dossi-
bility that the Government will consent to the
removal Of the Nez Perces from the Indian Ter
ritory The hest that can be done is to make
some compensation for the SURRENDERED 1auds,
ami to proviue large, fertile, wcll-watered and
well-wooded reservation, instead of tie present
objectionable locality, in which ai1 the Aez
Perces, including those now i'll Canada, may
ultimately be gathered.

remain, and in the event that the Senate should
fail to take action upou the nominations then
they would merely fall with the close OF the
session, ana the incumbent Of the office would
continue until rejected by the next Senate. But
whatever the President may do the dangers OF
an extra session arc not small.
ONLY SIX WEEKS REMAIN
OF the session, and but one Appropriation bill
and that one over which there is practically
no discussion, the Military Academy bill--has
becomc law. The Pension bill, as amended
BY the Senate, is now before the House. The
Fortification bill is in conference. and
nlso the Consular and Diplomatic hill.
The Indian Appropriation bill has gone back
to tho House: and the Naval Appropriation bill
dicia! and Executive, the Army, River aud Har-
Dor, Post-O Office, and Deficiency bills have got to
be reported to the House. These appro-
priatiou bills that are to follow con-
tain the great points OF dispute be-
tween the two Houses, md between the two
parties The Democrats, it is learned, are de-
termined to insert in these bills provisions OF
political character, which the Republicans from
principle will he compelled to oppose. This
must necessarily result in a serious deadlock
pctNeen Lne TWO houses, Will Luc consequent
great danger that one or more ol the bills may
fail.
ONE OF THE REASONS H.
assigned by persons who claim to be familiar
with the Democratic policy why m extra session
may be desired is. that the recent deaths in the
House have greatly alarmed the Democracy at
the possibilities which might result from death,
and the fact that contingencies nlay arise
which will render it difficult tor them to organ
izc tic next House. Some OF the Democratic
leaders claim that they certainly can organize
the House, it the Forty-sixth Congress shall
convene in March, but if the meeting Is post
{1oned until December, that it will be difficult
to predict what might happen.

MIR. sIGMoND DRINGER's STORY OF AN
ATTEMPT TO AssAssINATE HIM.
Mr.. Sigmond Dringer, who is well
known by his long le,al fight with the
Erie Railroad Company, has lately been
warned, he says, that an attempt was TO
be made to either kidnap him aud carry
him f.om the State, or to take his life.
He is the principal witness in case that
is to come up in the courts next week,
| wherein several Patersonians are accus-
ed Of "a conspiracy to ruin Dringers bus
iness. He says that since the waning
he was afraid TO veoture out after dai k
until Wednesday evening. Then he took
walk down town, aud started to go
home at about 8 O'Clock. As he was
passing through dark part of Graham
avenue, leading from Broadway to Di-
vision str ct, where he lives, man sud
denly arose in front Of him, k- says, and
pointing revolver into his face, fired,
and then fled. MIR. Dringer was so con
fused that he did not notice which ay
his sssailant ran, but lie thinks he wouid
recognize him if he saw him again, anc
he is sure he is the same person against
whom he was warned. The shot passed
through Dringrr's hat close to his head
bat did not touch the scalp. The polio
are investigating the case.
