gagged In the AFFAIR.", and the other MIR. Guild;
trustee Chaffee's confidential clerk, came to
the Pier, and arranging the details of a
strategetic movement, took the train back to
Kingston, alighting at q way-station and ap-
preaching Canonchet by the way of the old
coach road. Instead of making anything
out of this trick, their stealthy advance was
discovered and rebuff was the consequence;
at either gateway determined sentinel stood
guard.
About the same time the sortie was made
a covered carriage was discerned on the
beach, and around it stood quite company
of men and women. When the strategy of
Messrs. Guild and Parkhurst was fully
blocked, this same carriage was rapidly
driven away, but not before it was ascer-
tanned that lady was in it, who is now
thought to have been Kate Chase Sprsgue,
awaiting successful termination of the
movement of the gentleman named, her
plan being to Immediately enter the house
and remove the property she claims is there
belonging to her. The governor was not
deferred from visiting the city, and he ap-
peared at the stockholders meeting of the
First National bank as he had intended. The
attempts already made to stealthily effect an
entrance to his domicile aroused the anger
of the governor.
CARRYING THE WAR INTO AFRICA.
To-day he placed in the hands of Deputy
Sheriff Tucker of this county Washington
writs for the arrest of trustees Chatfee and
Thompson, Mr.. Corbin, Senator Conkling,
lawyer Parkhnrst and clerk Guile. The
papers are regularly issued, have the seal of
the court embossed upon them, and bear
the signatures of we'll known and perfectly
reliable legal firm doing business in Provi-
dence, who, though they have hesitated here
tofore, now propose to enter into the matter
without fear or favor. In case either of the
gentlemen steps one foot upon the premises
or within its confines he will be at once ar
rested. Deputy Sheriff Tucker was asked
by your correspondent whether he would
serve papers for the other side if they were
placed in his hands. He said he would scan
the documents very carefully before he went
to Canonchet, and would want to be assured
they were perfectly correct and without
crookednesa. He said he knew the COVER
nor we'll enough to understand he would not
allow of any unfair dealing.
"Why," said he, "If the Governor said,
Get, or will shoot, would ask him to give
me time to get cut. He means business, and
that fact does not want to be forgotten" He
was of the opinion that he would not be justi-
fed in entering Canonchet unless he had a
search warrant issued by the Supreme court.
These documents can only be issued where per-
sons are suspected of concealing or withhold
ing stolen or misappropfiated property, and it
would be difficult to obtain one for the use it
was intended to put it to at CanOnchet.
One thing the friends of the Governor fear,
and that is that his enemies will swear out a
writ of arrest on some slight pretext, effect an
arrest, aud by this strategy accomplish what
they cannot do otherwise, get into the Hall.
Chaffee has already done one thing to annoy
the Governor and that is ordering Mr.. Lemuel
Briggs to measure the stacked hay the Govern
or harvested last summer and sell it. To do
this Mr.. Briggs will have to trespass and will
be arrested. The papers issued for the arrest
of the principals in the abduction case are to
be withheld for the resent, but will be used
Immediately if the arrests for trespass are
made.
THE OLD SCANDAL.
Since the old scandal has been revived,
perhaps it would be we'll to state just how
the governor, to use slang phrase, "got on
to- Conkling's presence at Canonchet year
ago. The governor says that he had before
suspected undue intimacy on the part of his
wife and Uonkling, and had taken steps of
promise that he would not infict his pres
ence upon the Canonchet household. He
believed that the compact would be faith
fully carried out on the part of the Senator,
and was rather surprised one afternoon when
told by his little boy, Willie, that ssMr.
Conkling met mamma on the beach at New
port to-day." The next noon the same lit
tie one said: "Papa, Mr.. Conkllng rode on
the beach here to-day with u.s." This was
too much to bear, but rather than make
scene he went to Providence and
sent mutual friend down to rea-
son with Mrs. Sprague, and beg her,
for the sake of her children and for
their future welfare, to send Conkling away.
While he was thus pleading with her, Conk-
ling, who was in an adjoining room and
overheard all, stepped into the apartment
where they were, and quietly and sarcastic
ally remarked: GAIL this, waving his hand
enthusiastically, call this property belongs to
Mrs. Sprague.' The friend communicated
with the Governor, and that night he quiet
ly came to Kingston and walked up the
road, six miles, to Canonchet, and slept un-
der the same roof with the wife and Senator.
What happened the next day the whole
newspaper reading world well knows.
Oonkling shook the dust of Canonchet off
his feet. The Governor says to-day he is
mighty glad he did not shoot the destroyer
of his peace and domestic happiness, for he
wants no mans blood on his hands.
The governor claims to have absolute
knowledge that Conkling has been in Provi-
dence within q day or two, and that the Sena-
tor has had several interviews with Trustee
Chaffee regarding Mrs. Sprsgue's interests.
In letter given below this matter is more
fully brought out. He also says that Mrs.
Sprague has been in the State for four or
five days, and that she is in q position to
respond at once to a telegraphic communica
ton and step into the hall if an opportunity
for so doing can be obtained.
AN IMPORTANT LETTER.
To-day the governor wrote and mailed the
following letter to a legal gentleman of great
renown in this country. The communication
