The Plot to Kidnap MIR. Tilden.

1t is public misfortune that the United
States District Attorney is not here 10 deny
Or admit the correctness Of the MINES in
teryiew. III authentic and accurate, the
revelation is one to shock and arouse the
nation; il false, Gen. WOoDFoRD and Gen.
GRANT have been most grievously slandered,
and cannot afford to rest under the wrong
day longer than is necessary to correct it,
But is there anything improbable in Mr.
MMEss story? Nothing except the pre-
sumption Of innocence which arises from
the fact that Gen. WooDFoRD had never
before, so far as the public is aware, been en-
gagged in any conspiracy to kldnap citi-
zen of the United States. 1t cannot be
said in eXtenuatlon that in this instance
his eyes might have been blinded by
party passions TO the real nature Of the
crime proposed. Gen. WooDFoRD is a
bitter partisan; but he Is also Il lawyer

United States in the courts Of the most inn

tered into a conspiracy with number OF

about. Is it likely that he would deliberately

Mr. BLAINE lost his temper and taxed Mr..
THURMAN with fondness for saving dscour-
teous things about his n-proiessional gsso-
cates. This display Of ill-humor seerls TO have
been utterly uncalled for. Mr.. THURMAN
promptly explained that ho was only joking

that the peculiar talents which have enabled
Mr.. BLAINE to annss n fortune in railroad and
other enterprises would have insured him a
competency If he had turned his attention to

DEATH or WILLIAM LLOYD GARRr-
soN.-Aflcra long illness William Lloyd
Garrison, the veteran cmancipationist,
aied at the Wcstmorcland Hotel, New
ork, at five minutes past II O'Clock
Saturday night last, in the 7lth year of
his age. BY his bedside were his four
sons-William Lloyd, George Thomp-
SON, Wendell Philips and Francis Jack
son, namsd after himself and three
other distinguished Northumberland
his daughter, Mrs. Willard. Mr.. Gar
rison went to New York about three
weeks ago to visit his daughter before
her departure for Europe. and with the
hope of rcgaining his hcalth. But his
disease, a species of Bright's disease,
assumed alarming features and it soon
became evident that death would en-
sue. Except OH two or three oeca-
sions, whom he asked where he was
and why ho was not at homo in the
Highlands Of RoXbury, Boston, his
mind had been clear and unpcrturbcd,
until half.past. 10 o'clock on Friday
night. At that hour a short struggle,
produced by some difficulty Of breath
ing. began, but soon his eomposure re-
turned, and with it Inconsistencies
lie lay peacefully on his bed, painless
and oblvious, surrounded by his de-
voted &.sAilY, until his death occurred.
Mr.. Garrison's remains were re-
moved to Boston for interment, and
the funeral services took place
thore.
