ST LOUIS, April 2.-Chauncey J. Filley. who
has just returned from Washington, where he has
been for some time past in intimate relations
with the President and higk officials. makes the
following statement regarding the reported differ
.ences between the Cabinet officers and Senators
and the President:

Thai Attorney General MacVeagh has taken
4 decided stand against Chandler fo- SOlic-
itor General. This actien of MacNeaghs
Gntagonizes Secretary Blaine and makes the con-
test personal one, aSsbetween MACY eagh, Blaine
and the President This is particularly the case.

Dktate tPennsylyanial Democratic" The difference
arising between the New York Senators and
the President is not one aboCt individuals really,
hut about the observance OF the usual courtesy
|. toward the Senators and congressman as regards
| appointments in their respective States. In this
matter all Republican Senators and Congressman
are interested. IL was one OF the. matters which
raised differences between General Garfield and
| President Hayes. General Garfield was not con-
| suited about many appointments in his own
District and. in fact. many were made over his
= head. This General Garfield did not relish or
approve and that he should not was very natural
under the circumstances. This is the position OF
Senators Conkling and Piatt. They would have
beer satisfied 20 let Merritt remain as Collector
! of New York Whatever fight is made will be
upon this ISSUE and the result can not. of course,
now be seen. The Blaiue Chandler Macy eagh
contest IS a different affair and the Stalwarts gem
keraily agree with Blaine and Chandler did not
pear up 10 the time left Washington any expires
Sion OF a purpose of any fght being made by Sen
atOr COnkline. In TACT, tie Senator then had
given no publicity TO any such intention. The
effort on the part OF some parties TO keep
up tfactions and TO prejudice the Presi-
dent against those who supported
General Grant would amount TO nothing. Gen
Deral Grants meetings with the President were

he never saw better disposed man than Gar

whether he will have the solid support of the
"S0s'i for his administration as he had the earnest
| ande4eective support of the Grant men for his
kelectiOn. The Grant men. sO'caued, have raised
no such question. and in common with all well
neaning and true party meR believe in one solid
ePuSslcan party.
