Chaunosy Filley Attempts to Explain the
Republican Rumpus st Washington.

ST.. LOUIS, April 2.-Chauncey |. Fill.
lev, who has Just returned from Wash.
ington. where he has been for some time
past in intimate relations with the Presi-
dent and high officers, makes the follow
ing statement regarding the reported
differences between the cabinet officers
and Senators and the President: The
newspaper reports upon all those mat
ters are exaggerated and colored to make
them accord with the sources from which
they emanate and to suit the parties in
whose interests they are promul-
gated. There is no doubt but that
Attorney. General MscVeagh has taken
a decided stand against Chandler
for Solicitor General. This action OF
Mcveagh antagonizss Secretary Blaine,
aud makes the contest personal one as
between McVeagh, Blaine and the Pres.
-ider ) This is particularly the case, as
it isfeported that McVeagh is endeavor-
ing TO defeat Chandler's confirmation,
which makes q direct personal issue be-
tween tho Attorney-General and the
President. This, connected with Nc.
Vesgh's public declarations against Gen.
Raum, declarations made in the pres
ence OF several gentlemen in his Nc.
Veagh's) office, indicates a variance OF
opinion between him and the gen
eral policy OF the administration,
which, as Senator Ben. Harrison said,
if allowed to prevail would make both
Indiana and McNeagh's own State,
Pennsylvania, Democratic. the differ.
ence arising between the New York
Senators and the President is not one
about individuals really, but about the
observance OF the usual courtesy toward
Senators and Congressman as regards
the appointments in their respective
States. In this matter all the Repub-
lican Senators and Congressman are in
terested. Ii was one OF the matters
which raised the differences between Gar
field and President Hayes. Garfield was
not consulted about many ofthe appoint
ments in his district and, in fact,
many were made over his head. This
General Garfield did not relish or ap-
prove, and that he should not was very
natural under the circumstances. This
is the position OF Senators Conkling and
Platt They would have been satisfied
to let Merit remain as Collector OF New
York. Whatever fight is made will be
upon this issue, aud the result cannot,
of course, now be seen. The Blaine
Chandler McVeagh contest is different
affair, and the statements generally agree
with Blaine and Chandler.

WORMS.
A Disgusting Case Of Incest st Vinosnnss.
Indiana

Indiana
yiScxSYrs, April A gentleman
from Johnson township told me this
afternoon OF one OF the most disgusting
cases ever known in this county, which
developed last Saturday night, and which
brings misery TO one OF the most promi.
nent German families in this county. In
the above. named township lives Mr..
through q half q century OF existence,
and who is the father OF about eight boys
and girls. He has been married twice,
his last wife having two children by Q
former husband.
Oxman is a prosperous farmer, well to
do, and is q trustee OF Lutheran
Church in Johnson township. For
some months past his daughter Rachel,
a fine looking lass OF eighteen, has been
assuming a rotundi,y OF form suggestive
of an erroneous life. and doctor in the
neighborhood has been treating her for
worms. The treatment did no good.
but the simple.minded old father still
believed in his daughter honor.
Last Saturday, however, the worm
story was exploded by the arrival OF n
bouncing baby. Efforts were made To
ascertain the author of her ruin. Very
reluctantly she yielded his name, and to
the horror ofthe austere father the girl
named her own brother rs the father OF
the child. Oxman is on the verge OF
distraction over the terrible revelation,
and the boy, who is not much older than
the girl, has fled, although he remained
in the home he had polluted till the
child was one day old. The mother and
child are doing well, but the community
is shocked over the affair.

UNPARALLELED CHEEK.
Philip, OF Morey Letter Fame, Calls on
Garfield.

WASHINGTON, April S.-Among the
callers at the White House, Saturday,
was Kenward Philip, who is well.known
to the country through the az.
sociation OF his name with the forged
Mercy letter. He was accompanied by
Mr.. William Holiday, who has imme-
diate charge OF Mr.. Philips affairs relat.
ing to that letter. He said his object in
calling on the President was that, as
President Garfield and himself were
the only two people that were in.
iured by the forged letter, he wanted
TO ask the President to divide his salary
with him. Seriously, he said, the Dis
trict Attorney OF New York had notified
his counsel, Judge Veeder and c. W.
Brooks, that it was the intention TO
drop the prosecution OF him. The Dis
trict Attorney would go into open Court
and make a statement, unqualified and
empharic, tina, the theory OF the prose-
cution concerning Philip was false from
the start. Imm, d ately thereafter, Mr..
Philp SAYS, he will commence suit Tor
false IMPRISONMENT against the District
Attorney, and for false Imprisonment
against Geo II. Bliss.

LIKE THE WEATHER.
Signal Oficer Hasen and Gen. Sherman
Out Of Sorts.

Out Of Sorts.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-There is quite
a breeze in the War Department grow
ing out of antagonisms between Gen.
Sherman and Gen. Hazen, Chief Signal
Officer, respecting the detail OF officers
for instruction in signal duty. Former.
" these details were OF officers selected
by Gen. Myer, and Gen Hazen desires
naturally to follow the same rule and
select his own assistants and subordl-
mates. The right to make these selec-
tions we're always disputed by Gen.
Sherman and the Adjutant General OF
the Army, but Gen. Myer always man
eyed to carry his point and secure a
decision OF the Secretary oil War or OF
the President in his favor. A general
order has been issued by the War De.
partment directing that the selection OF
Off .ers for detail to duty in the signal
service shall he made by the General OF
the Army, and that ali officers 80 tie
tailed shall have the consent OF the Col
ones commanding the respective regi.
ments from which the details are sought
to be made. The order also provides for
a fixed term OF service for the officers
detailed. Gen. Hazen insists that lie
should control the selection OF these
officers and, as there are eight officers TO
be detailed for instruction and duty with
the Signal corps, the dispute is becom-
ing interesting to many officers seeking
this detail. Gen. Myer 80 managed his
affairs as to secure the detail OF officers
loyal to him, with whom he could CO.
operate and ip whom he reposed conf
dence. General Hazen is naturally dis.
posed the same way, and has urged his
views upon Secretary Lincoln with great
pertinacity. Secretary Lincoln, how
ever, inclines to the opinion that the
General OF the Army is the proper per-
son to regulate this matter, and that the
Chief Signal Officer should have no
authority to select officers for detail to
duty under him. 1t is the old fight OF
General Nysr over again, with the
chances in favor OF General Sherman.

given that State 20 to Cameron men
with Mitchel's consent. They argue
that Senator Cameron controls Senator
Mitchell. The fact is, Senator Mitchell is
desirous Of producing harmony among
Republicans of his State, and is anxious
to reunite and consolidate the party.
He is also junior Senator from that State,
and these two facts have q tendency to
cause him to defer to Cameron's wishes
and suggestions where he thinks it can
be done without serious damage to the
country or party. But very few sp.
pointments OF any general Importance
have as yet been made by the present
administration. When important nom-
nations are made, results may make q
fair showing for Liberal Republicans in
