Grant and the Administration.

Grants overshadowing influence in the new
administration is generally regarded here a.
the first gun in the warfare which Blaine auc

President. Your correspondent has seer
Grant with reference to these several allega
tions, and as a matter Of public interest. nn
less than Of justice TO himself and the Presi
dent, it may be said that he denounces them
as false and malicious. He says he has moi
in the manner imputed to him that as re-
CARDS Chaffee, the latter was politically
hostile to him at Chicago, and was never
considered Grant man, and as for intimats
financial relations with him, "the fact
is" said the General, +" I have never beer
interested with him in any transaction to the
extent of dollar" As to his wishing tc
have Blaine out of the Cabinet. Grant says
"That is about the only truthful item in the
entire Indictment" He wishes him cut be.
cause he believes he is not fit man to be
there. The only arrangement OF the diplo-
matte service that he is aware of is an ex-
pressed desire that the Eastern missions
should be filed with special reference to the
promotion Of our commercial interests In that
quarter, thorough knowledge of the peculiar
requirements of which the General obtained
in his Journey around the world If Young
was urged as Minister to japan it was wholly
in the interests of the public, and thu same
motive operated in regard to Bingham. The
insinuation in regard to Cramer the General
characterizes as wholly baseless, and the
statement that he insisted that Garfield msn
must be put out he denounces unqualihedly,
and with unmistakable emphasis. as an un-
mitigated falsehocd. Grant at times spoke
with considerable feeling, and gave your col
respondentt understand thathe was notignor-
ant either of the motives of his accu.ers or
of the source of their inspiration back Of the
accusations themselves. and he intimated that
It might yet be duty to himself and the
President to publicly expose both.
MacVeagh and the President.
WASHINGTON, November II 11.h.-Attorney
General AfacVeagh came on from Pniladel-
phia last night to see the President, and re-
turned as coon as the interview, which was
protracted one, ives over. The talk is that
the foresight of the President, in insisting
that MacVeagh shall not retire from the
Cabinet until there was finality of the star
route prosecutions, has been abundantly vim
dicated.
Attorney.General Macveagh's Story.
PHILADELPHIA, November 11th.-Attor-
ney-General MacVesgh has returned from
New York, where he visited President Ar
thur. He stated to an Associated Press re-
porter to-day that the relations between them
had always been, and now are, of the kindest
possible character. The statements pub
lished to the contrary, including pretended
Cabinet scene, were sheer fabrications. He
says the sources from which they originated
were so well known, and they were so i'm
probable on their face, that no belief OF them
was necessary, and the only thing from such
- he oil =
est annoyance was praise, and that, he knew,
he was in no danger of receiving. As to the
Misrepresentation of his position in the star
route cases, he said that no proposition had
been clearer to him than that his own useful
ness, either as member of the Cabinet or as
representing the Government in the star
route cases, was absolutely ended by the
death OF President Garfield. Any subsequent
supervision of those cases by him was inevita-
bly, calculated to give an erroneous impression
that they were still being conducted by the
past Administration rather than the present,
and such an impression would be very iojuri-
Gus indeed to tha cases themselves. Such
were his deliberate convictions. Upon them,
he said, he stood frein the first, and upon
them, of course, he must stand to the end.
