THE MOREY LETTER AGAIN.
Especial to the sEsr1SEL.I

appears to give universal satisfaction, es-
pecially that of Judge Thurman, which,
aside from its being a graceful compli-
ment, is notably suitable alike by reason of
his familiarity with the subject involved,
and his fluent command of the French
language. Thurman and Howe were
among the first members OF the Senate to
follow Jones of Nevada in his pronounced
advocacy of bi-metalism and the re-estab-
lishment Of a double standard in this
country, and Evarts, though not quite SO
far advanced in his position on this subject,
is equally earnest in his desire to make the
coming conference a complete success.
Senators and Representatives from the
mining States are greatly pleased that pro-
vision has been made for American partici-
patton in this important conference, and
are very sanguine that the results will be
highly beneficial to our mineral interests.
Senators Jones of Nevada, and Hill of Col
orado, both express the belief that with an
international acceptance Of a ratio Of 15k
as q standard question of the two precious
metals, silver will advance at once in price
from 125 to 1870 per ounce, and maintain
that value for many years. The effect of
this of course would be to give a great i'm
petus to silver mining, and especially tend
to make profitable the working of low
grade ores. The Colorado papers have
been quite earnest in urging the appoint
ment of Senator Jones as a member Of the
conference, but in view of his already hold
ing Office, he could not be appointed legal
ly even if willing to serve.
WASHINGTON, March 9.-The Democratic
caucus is hearing the report of the commit
tee on the revision of The Senate Commit
tees. Davis, of Illinois, is given the Ju-
dicsary command. Pendleton and Nc
Pherson succeed Herman and Wallace on
the Finance Committee. The Republicans
are also in caucus. The President, Blaine
and Window now favor an extra session,
and unless the present status changes an
extra session will be called about the middle
OF May, when the Republicans can control
the House, and probably the Senate also.
Malone again refuses to enter either eau
Gus to-day. If he continues in his silence
it is not improbable that the Republicans
and Democrats will agree on some basis for
an organization.
The President to day nominated Levi P.
Morton as United States Minister to
France, and VIM. NJ. Evarts, Allen G..
Thurman and Timothy O. Howe as Com
missioners on the part of the United States
to the international Monetary Conference
Customs at Cincinnati John w. Green,

ond District Of Iowa; Robert s. Taylor. of
Indiana, member of the Mississippi River
Improvement Commission.
The Senate convened at noon. A tele-
gram from the Governor of Iowa was re-
ceived, announcing the appointment Of j.
w. McDill to fill the unexpired term of
Senator Kirkwood. A message from the
President was received and the Senate
went into executive session. When the
doors were opened the Senate adjourned.
The Senate confirmed the nomination of
Evarts. Thurman and Howe, Commission
ers to the International Monetary Confer

NEW York, March 10.-The following
letter from Hon. Abraham s. Hewitt to
Marshal Jewell, Chairman Of the National
Republican Committee. is published,
NEW YORK, Feb. T. 1881.
MY DEAR GOVERNOR: In the New York
Express Of Saturday I found published
what purported to be a letter from you, in
which, referring to your efforts to discover
the author of the so-called Morey Chinese
letter, you say we. believe we shall get at
the true inwardness of the matter, but
need money with which to prosecute in
quiries, and we are asking our friends to
contribute in sums Of 500 or less. From
the p~Oaitiva akafamapfa which 7 haya aooo
in the newspapers, I had reason to suppose
that you had secured the evidence neces-
sary to establish the authorship Of the
wicked letter which was supposed to have
been signed by General Garfield, and
which he afterwards repudiated as ga
brutal forgery" / regret to learn that
this is not the case, and being convinced
that it concerns Democrats quite as much
as Republicans to get at the ''true inward
ness OF the matter" as you phrase it, I
enclose herewith my check for 500 as a
contribution toward the fund necessary to
bring the inquiry to q successful conclu-
sion. In case your request does not bring
you sufficient means for that purpose, /
beg that you will let me know, in order
that may join you in raising the neces-
sary funds, and earnestly hope that you
will not slacken your efforts. Hunt the
rascal down." Sincerely yours,
(Signed.) ABRAHAM s. HEWITT.

WASHINGTON, March 1o.-Another Ohio
has come to the front in the person
I Judge James McDill. appointed by Gov
Greer Of Iowa TO succeed Kirkwood
, the Senate. McDill is just forty-seven
ears old, was born at Monroe, Ohio, and
we'd in that State until 1856, when he re-
loved to Iowa, where he held several
positions, and was then elected to
ongress, serving two terms, from 1878 to
BIT. 1t is the general belief that Gov
nor Greer wants to be elected United
tates Senator at the expiration of Kirk
ood's term. and that he has appointed
his own interest.
