General Ewing on. the Situation.

General Ewing on. the Situation.
 NEW YORK, May 2O.-There was a notable gathering of statesmen at the Fifth Avenue Hotel this morning. Among them were Sen ator Hale of Maine, ex-Senator William H. Barnum of Connecticut, Governor Foster of Ohio, and General Thomas Ewing A num- Der of prominent politicians called on them, all of whom manifest great interest in the issue at Albany. which formed the whole sub ject of conversation. In conversation with General Ewing he said that the Conkling af- fair did not make much difference in his State one way or the other. The issue is confined to New York, and the disposition in Ohio was to let the divided factions fight out their own battles here and here alone. In regard to the rumors of a deal in Albany be- tween the half-breeds and Democratic mem bers of the Legislature General Ewing said he had no faith in such deal. The Repub- icans are not such fools as to hand over the Senate altogether to the Democrats. He thought Conkling would retire politics for the present. He has had quite remark able career in politics and he is too proud to accept re- election on any compro- mise. He will make no turn that would in volEe an admission of defeat or humiliation. The General then entered into conversation on politics and especially on the coming prospects of the Democratic party. He feels sanguine that the next presidential election will have very different result from the last one. A reaction is setting in throughout several States which may receive powerful impetus from the present troubles in the Re- publican ranks He did not coincide in the opinion expressed freely even in Republican journals throughout the country that Conkiing would carry his hostilities to extremes in or der to accomplish his revenge and ruin his party if he cannot rule. It is never designed, he said, in our republican system that any one man or score of men should overawe the Executive and paralyze the functions of ad- ministration. believe firmly that Conkling will succumb to the inevitable and gracef ully

OF packed juries, z by8 courts, but
when men arc selected whose opinions

that freemen arc not bound to respect.

only man Of the whole Court that

only one Of the Judges who did not

question whether any man who has
written partisan letters to aid either
one side or the other in an election,
ought afterward to allow himself, as a
Judge, to decide any question in

ought to be, like Caesars wife, above

NORTH POLE
The Eccentric aud Expensive
Project Of Commander
Cheyne.
New York speciaI.l

New York Special
Commander Cheyne starts for Mon
treal tomorrow by invitation of Sir
John Macdonald and Sir Samuel
Leonard Tilley, TO interest the Cana
dian public in his scheme for reaching
the north pole by a balloon expedition.
Mr.. Tilley is already a member of the
London committee which Is getting
subscriptions. Commander Cheyne
said to-day: 1.-THE idea is that it shall
be an Anglo American expedition, TO
be fitted out by popular subscription
IL will require $4,000 to fit il out,
and $4,000 is to be raised in each
country. l shall be in Canada until
January 20, aud in my absence the in
terests Of the expedition here will be
looked after by Henry Walter Grin
nell, who will be the secretary Of the
committee that is being gotten up in
New York. The Hon. John David.
son has formed a committee in Eliza
beth, n. j. 1t is my intention to
form similar committees in the priuci-
pal cities OF the country in connect
ton with my featuring tour. The
ship of the expedition is to be called
the Grinnell, after MI. Grinnells
father, the well known patron OF
Arctic exploration. Lieutenant
Schwatka has arranged to accompany
the expedition, provided be can OBJ
tain the consent of the government.
The three balloons, which will cost
$4,000, will be made in England,
and will be shipped to this country.
New York will be the starting pcint
of the expedition, and we expect to
leave in June next
Commander Cheyne says that the
experience Of the Jeanette is only
another confirmation of the fact that
it is impossible to reach the pole by
means ofvessels. In his opinion the
region Of the pole is an archipelago
bound in a solid icepack, presenting
no opening for navigation. Each bal
loon will be provided with a sledge,
boat, and provisions for fiity-one days,
and will reel out telegraph wire az it
travels, keeping 10 Communication

stay of the party at the pole, the gas
should escane so as to seriously implir

weighed SO as to travel low, and Com.

anticipates no difficulty from cold
during the balloon voyage, which !. to
take place in June Of the summer
after the expedition sails. "The oo.

Cheyne, will hill have to work with
their coats off to keep cool" The ex-
petition will be composed ofseventeen

Poor Ewing, he should be ashamed
Of himself. His record as a lawyer
for the past fifteen years before the
Supreme Court will show that he has
presented and pressed as law more
questionable opinions and legal alb.
surdities than any fifty lawyers in the
State. And it will be remembered
that in the last few years he has writ
ten more partizan literature on the
State debt question than any other
gentleman, unless it be equalled by j.

passed that Ewing did not appear in

feet, encases in the tiniest Of French

beneath the folds Of a heavy silk skirt
and knocked all ideas Of the testi-

dressed his questions to the little slip

Jennie Cramel's Father Dead.

4 AAioAeAfAAe AhhNefl
One of the important witnesses in
the prosecution Of the Mallcys, Jacob
Cramer, father of Jennie Cramer,
died to-day of consumption. Jennie
often tended his cigar store, and it was
here that she became acquainted with
several of the witnesses, who vert
thereby enabled to testify in con-
tradietion of James Malley, jr.' s, abb.
Jacob was the witness who identified
the body found at West Haven as his
daughters, and who also visited the
Elliott House to demand of Blanche
Douglass information concerning
Jennie. Jacob was greatly afflicted
by the death Of Jennie, which, his
physician says, hurried his death. He
was much troubled also by the fear
that the Malleys would get clear.
This is the second witness for the
State who has died since the Malleys
were arrested. There was a similar
mortality among the Hayden wit
nesses.
