WASHINGTON, D. G., Feb. 2l.-Gen. H.V.
Boyuton, referring to o recent statement OF
Gen. O. E. Babcock, the former private Sec
retary of the ex-President, to the effect that
he {Boynton) had violated confidence in
publishing some Of Gen Babcock's private
letters relative to the Sherman memoirs,
publishes card this morning in which he
says: "Gen. Grant gave me- essential infor-
nation, and assistance in preparing my re-
view Of Gen. Sherman's memoirs, which re-
view, By revealing the truth, vindicated
Gen. Grants military record in points
where Gen. Sherman had done him
injustice. Some years having slaapsed,
humor towards Gen. Sherman, he has taken
review. The confidence under which Gen.
Grant and his intimate friends furnished ma
terial for the latter did not contemplate that
should'be dlscredited by them, Whatever
assaults were made upon my book by others,
I never attempted to shelter it OF myself be-
hind their names, nor ever asked them to as
slime any portion Of the responsibility even
when the assault was upon what they had
furnished but when they attacked the fdel-
ity and trutlfulness of the work they yio-
lated the fundamental conditions Of conf
dence, and made it not only. excusable but
honorable to discover to the public who
were my assistants in compiling it."

HIS VIEWS AS TO THE RELATIONS OF THE
GERMANS TO GRANT-THET WOULD SUP
PORT HIM IF NOMINATED, But THEIR FIRST
CHOICE Is HA6HBuRNE.
Special Dhpateh to 1ns Chicago Tribune
WASHINGTON, D. G., Feb. 31--Representa-
tive Barber, of Chicago, who represents that
district which probably has the largest Ger
man population in it Of any district in the
United States, In a recent conversation ex-
pressed the following opinion as to the policy
which the Germans would pursue with re-
spect to the different Presidential candi-
dates:
II think" said Mr Barber, s'the Germans
will support Gen. Grant if he is nominated.
He Is not their first choice. They feel more
kindly to him, however, now than they did
in 1876. It was then supposed for long
time that Gen. Grants sympathies in the
Franco German war were with the French.
The sale of condemned arms BY the War De-
partment about that time, and some other
circumstances, gave rise to the public i'm
preston to that effect, whether it was errone-
Gus or not But Gen. Grants visit to Eu-
rope, and particularly his reception at Berlin,
taken together with his own explicit declara-
in sympathy with the Germans. The old
sequently been changed. Time has also
had the tendency to dispel some of the
uufayorable impressions created by some
features of his Administration which were
unacceptable to the German element. The
Germans unauestionably have very high no
tions Of the morale that should prevail in
public life; and they generally, in this coun-
Try. have come to doubt whether Grants Ad-
ministration was up to the grade. I have no
doubt. however, that they, in common with
all other good citizens OF the North, recog-
nize the peculiar condition in Which the cou1l-
try is now placed; and, in the selection OF
Presidential candidate, believe that the Ger
mans will bow TO the decision Of The fe-
the result Had Gen. Grantbeen rcnomlnated
freely for Tiden than they did; and it might
have permanently estranged the German ele-
ment from the Republican party"
"UoV about Blaine and the Germans?"
II do not think that Blaine would be the
first choice of the German element in this
country. His exceeding popularity with the
na1ive-born element has never taken deep
root with our German fellowcitizens. They
would doubtless support him in the event OF
his nomination, n,-possibly with greater ell
thusiasm than they would support Grant"
Who do syosu think is the first choice OF
''Thcre is no question that Elihu B. Wash
bur11e could poll much larger German vote
than any other man in this country. His
conduct while abroad was of such a charac-
ter as to commend him to the confidence Of
all our foreign-born citizens"
, 1880-02-22

Grants nomination, on the other hand. are
few in comparison. The course of the Albany
Journal, the Republican organ at the Capt.
tai, in breaking out Of the Conkling traces, is
one of the strongest evidences yet given OF
the feeling against sending to Chicago an in
suucted delegation. At Albany, my infor-
mant adds, .he talk yesterday was general
about the probable withdrawal Of Grant at

GOV. HOYT, OF WYOMING.
NO CREDIT GIVEN TO THE CHARGES PRE-
FERRED AGAINST HIM
Special Dispatch to The Chtcago 1rtouns.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 21.-For some
thing over week past charges OF very
serious character against Gov. Hoyt, OF Wy
oming, have been given circulation through
the Cheyenne Leader, newspaper edited
and owned BY the Postmaster Of that place,
Herman G1afcke- The charges receive no
credit whatever, either at the Interior De-
partment or at the Post-Oft1ce Department,
where Glafcke's conduct has been for some
time under investigation. While nothing has
been heard direct from Gov. Hoyt or his I'M
mediate friends, the charges here are attf1o-
uted to the fact that Glafcke and Spath, the
Secretary of the Territory, have been them
selves charged before the Department, and
much evidence has been fled to sustain the
charges, with being concerned IN
ONE OF TIE MOST CORRUPT LOTTERIES
which the Post-Office Department, In its war
upon these swindling institutions, has as yet
discovered. The theory here Is, In regard to
the charges against Gov. Hoyt, that Claiche
and his partners, hearing that they were
likely to be exposed to the Department, and
taking it for granted that the honest officers
OF the Territory had interested themselves
in exposing their "Great Western Dis
tribution Company as this lottery
was called, have concocted and published
these gross charges against the Governor for
the purpose of destroying his influence in
Washington. The papers before the Depart
ment go to show that Glafcke owned one
fifth Of the lottery business; that he, did its
private and confidential printing In his news
paper Office, and that he
MANAGED TO EvADE
the directions Of the Post-Ofice Department
in regard to retaining the letters Of lottery
companies, and In various other ways put
his Post-Of1ce at the disposal of the
lottery concern It also appears that this
was a lottery ia which no tickets were
sold in the region Of Cheyenne, but were
distributed over the country to o'very distant
points, where the ''Grand Distribution Com
pany" was advertised. The Department has
letters substantiating these general charges
from some of the most respectable citizens
of Cheyenne. Glafcke has not as yet been
removed, as formal Investigation OF his
case is taking place under the directions Of q
Special Agent, and as soon as this report Is
received he will doubtless cease to be an
officer Of the Post-0f1ce Department
