The Pilgrims Progress.

WASHINGTON, July l4.-With the ex-
ception of two hours Pilgrim Foster
spent yesterday at the Soldiers Home,
the guest OF the President Fosters
visit here is mainly to consult with the
Republican Campaign Committee. He
had a confidential consultation with its
leading members last night, and openly
admitted that he did not believe that
VIM. L. Chandler, the Secretary OF the
committee, would enter into the spirit
OF the Ohio canvass with the vim which
the Secretary of the committee should
show, and Tor this reason he urged that
Chandler be watched to some extent and
indeed, he indicated thata change would
please him. As if by intuition Chandler
apprehended that Fosters visit to Wash
ton boded him no good, turned up here
quite Unexpectedly to-day, with General
Butler in tow. He took up his quarters
at the same hotel with the Pilgrim.
About u O'Clock Foster was in the
reading-room Of his hotel, talking with
the Acknowledgement and Commissioner
of Internal Revenue Raum. Chandler
filed in, nodded his head to Foster in the
way OF recognition, but did not approach
or speak to him. Realizing the embar-
rassment Foster was in, Devins went
over to where Chandler had seated him.
self and engaged him in conversation,
leaving Raum to entertain Foster. There
is one incident of Fosters movements
Yesterday, which confirms beyond
doubt that the Washington Senti-
nai-the German newspaper printed
here weekly, and which contains
with each issue an attack upon General
Ewing's military records in the ser
vice of Secretary Sherman and the Re
publican party. When Foster reached
his hotel from the train, he told the
clerk he would not register his name,
and indicated to him who should be sent
to his room in case they called, and that
all others should be told that ne was not
in. The very first caller was Louis
Schade, the editor OF the Sentinet, and
over one hour Foster was secretly clos
eted with the apologist and volunteer
counsel of Wirz, the Andersonyille de-
mon. Mr.. Foster will leave for the
West on the early train tomorrow
morning. He keeps a stiff upper lip,
and conceals well his fears OF the result
OF the election. He talks confidently,
though. The order some weeks ago was
issued all along the Republican line TO
claim everything, to do good Dragging
and build up fabulous Inajorities.
Call for Bonds.
WASHINGTON, July l4.-The Outstand-
ing ten-forty bonds will be called in by
the Secretary of the Treasury during
the present month. One call for ten
millions was made July 8, another for
sixteen millions will be made on the
18th, and all the remainder, amounting
to twenty-five millions and fraction,
will be called in on the 24st.

of the quarantine against Memphis,

year.
