WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.
WASHINGTON, July 18th, 1870.

NAShlNpiO.', ouis Avn, tS'o'
Some erroneous impressions have been
sent out from here under the guisc of an
interview with Hon. VIM. E. Chandler.
Mr.. Chandler came here as secretary of the
Republican congressional committee, and
not as an agent Of any presidential candi'
date. and therefore, Of course, he spoke
guardedly. He is warm friend of Mr..
Blaine, and labored for his nomination in
1876. He is also friend Of Zach Chand-
Ter, who is stalwart like him. But he
did not say that Chandler was the most
hopeful candidate, nor that Washburnc
had even chance. He thinks that the
votes will be very much scattered, that all
the men he named will receive support,
and that Window is as likely to be the
dark horse" as anybody. Mr. Chandler,
| may add, has gone west for his health,
and it is reported that he will appear in
California to help his friend Gorhou, III tic
Republican campaign there,
In view of the importance attached to
financial legislation and discussion at this
time, shall be justified in calling atten-
ton to an important conference to be held
in Saratoga, New York, on the 9th 18th and
Sth of August coming 1t is called by the
American Bankers Association, who
will hold their annual convention
on that occasion, but it will
embrace interests so wide as to cover the
whole industrial and commercial interests
of the country. The proceedings will be
non-partisan. The president Of the Bank
ers association is Hon. Alex Mitchell, of
Milwaukee, leading Democrat and the
other offices are divided among all parties,
except of course the Grcenbackers, who
have no interest in conservative financial
affairs. The discussions will not be con-
fined to banking or financial affairs, but
will embrace all subjects Of legislation and
private business The matters of usury,
state and municipal debt, currency reform,
commercial growth and revenue improve
ment will be fruitful topics, and promise
to elicit valuable contributions to our polit-
economical literature. The assembly
may have an important bearing upon the
legislation Of next winter.
AS an impartial writer it is my duty to
record the fact that the friends Of other
candidates are troubled by the "Tilden
BOOM" That is the rather inelcgant way
of putting the popular movement looking
towards presidential nomination. There
can be no doubt that Mr.. Tildcn is more
favorably mentioned for that honor than he
was few months ago. II is u
fact that many democrats who then
spoke lightly Of Mr.. Tilden's CHANGES
have changed their minds, just as I intim-
ated in this correspondence some time ago.
The Democratic party sees that the East
must be considered in its financial views.
and Tilden and Bayard are their best repre-.
sentatives on that. point. But Mr.. Tilden
has this advantage over Mr.. Bayard, that he
has larger State to back him, State that
casts IS electoral votes.
a very strong movement is on foot among
Western and Southern men to have Secrc.
tary sherman reverse his decision relative
to the contraction of the Gamgcc rcfrigcra
'ing and disinfecting ship. They want
rFoi' eamgce to try the experiment of stay.
