TELEGRAPHIC ITEMS.

In response to inquiries relative to the
Garfield Chinese case, Senator Barnum
has sent the following dispatch:
New YORK, Oct. 30, $780,
To the Public. The Garfield letter is
not a forgery, Mr.. Joseph Hart, pub
Usher of Truth, was honorably dis
charged this morning by the Repubh-
can Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
of New York, Hon. Noah Davis.
VIM. H. BARNUM
A dispatch from New York says in.
formation received by the National
Committee makes it absolutely certain
that with the vote of New York Han
cock will be elected. The Republicans
are making desperate efforts in this
State to create an, impression that they
cansearry it. A cautious canvass made
today by the State Committee shows
a Democratic majority of $4,000.
Throwing all doubts against the Demo-
Gratis, the National Committee and the
| New York State Committee,agree that
the State of New York is absolutely
safe With this confidence they be-
lieve that the election on Tuesday next
will result in triumph for the Democ-
racy and Constitutional Government.
An estimate of the result in New
York made by cautious caavassers gives
the Democrats 93,950s majority in
Democratic counties, and the Republi-
cans SO, 200 in Republican counties, a
Democratic majority Of 24,650 The
Republicans do not accept this estimate
as correct.
| A New York special says: The Re:
publicans yesterday introduced new
weapon, in the shape of judicial neural
gic headache. Just at the most inter
esting point in the Philip trial, when the
two microscopic experts for the prose-
cution, Phiar and Hagan, had developed
an important disagreement in their tes-
timony,. and it was discovered that the
envelope, instead of being retained in
the custody of the Judge, as was
agreed. yesterday, had been taken to
the Postoffice by Bliss and Davenport,
the Court got sick and granted an ad-
liournment until ii o'clock to-day
Throughout the sitting the prosecution
made frequent applications for ed journ-
ment, which were strenuously opposed
by the defense, upon the ground that
they wanted>to prove the genuineness
of the letter at the earliest possible
moment. One OF the most remarkable
incidents of the day was the admission
of Judge Davis that he had himself cut
the envelope open at both ends, while
some days ago the envelope was closed
at both ends and was exactly III the
condition shown in the published litho-
graphic copies. The aim of the prose-
cution IS now perfectly evident. 1t is
to get in as much testimony as possible
on their,side,- relevant and irrelevant,
thus preventing the. introduction by the
defense of the commences Of the letter
until too late fer, effect upon. the cleo
ton. The witnesses, for the defense
were all On hand yesterday, and the
prosecution had present large number
of Government employees who were
ready to swear to anything to save
their bread and butter.
They cannot. keep from the public
the cofroboratiye testimony of Gar
fields authorship. of the Chinese letter,
which Is coming voluntarily from all
quarters. The following affidavit of
the mother of H. L. Morey, veneer
able lady of IS years, knocks away one
Of the principal props of Garfeld's de.
