A DENIAL.
Minister Morton Denies the Charges
Made in the Ch,lI.Peru Affair.

WAsHINGToN. March Il.
The secretary of state says that he has re-
ceived reply by cable from Minister Morton
in regard to the telegram sent to him to the
following effect: The minister stated that
he has never at any time been associated
with any business transaction needing or ex-
pecting the intervention of the United States
In the ordinary course of business, Nor
ton, Bliss & Co. had entered into contract
simply for a reception of nitrates and guano
sent to this country and the states thereof and
that the transactions were of the same class
of business as has been carried on by that
firm for many years.
All preiminaries of the agreement itself
were made by George Bliss during Morton's
absence. and before his departure for his
present position. Bliss will be happy if it is
desired by the committee to furnish all the
details of the transaction as far as Mr..
Suarez or Mr. Randall also are said to have
been agents of the Credit Industrial are con-
cerned.
Morton has had no communication with
either OF them, and does not know them per.
sonally, neither does he know any thing of
any dealings they or either of them may have
had with the governments of the United
States, Chill, or the Credit Industrial before
the conclusion of the agreement between
Randall and Bliss.
Mr.. Morton has had no intimation of any
personal or official action being expected of
him, connected with the affairs of Chilli or
Peru, or the relations of either country with
the government Of the United States or
France. Morton has never had conversation
with any officer of the United States touching
the business of political matters in Peru or
Chilli. or the relation of either to the United
States or the French republic.
He has had no official or unofficial COM
munication either directly or indirectly with
any person whatever, having any official con-
nection with or serving either the United
States or French government, with the excep-
ton of a conversation with President Grevy,
Which was sought by the latter, and this in
|t61etew was officially reported to the depart
- Mt the time. and called for reply from
( mine, which was communicated to NJ
Grevy, and reply from the French Presiden,
thereto was also reported by Morton in an Of
fetal form.
Morton concludes by saving il has never
entered into his mind that it would be posi-
BILE to use or attempt to use his official posi-
ton as minister to further the object of the
late contract. and that he has never contem-
plated any connection with regard to the af.
fairs Of Chilli and Peru, except to carry out
in good faith such orders as this government
may give him in the premises.
Secretary Frelinghuysen says: Il have
necessarily communicated only the import of
Morton's telegram, for the reason that the
original being in cipher, the publication of
the literal text would afford clue to the
secret channels of telegraphic correspond
ence."

unadulterated bosh should be given space in
the editorial columns Of any paper pretending
TO have common sense, but it is now being
passed around by editors who would be
ashamed to talk such absurdity to any one
who could look them in the face

the President had no right to nominate for

ate would not recognize the right of the two
New York Senators to absolutely control the
matter, Conkling and Plat resigned their
seats and went home to struggle unsuccess-
fully to be returned to them. President Gar.
field never had the slightest issue with the
Senate: never for moment questioned its
equal right to reject or confirm; or ex-
pressed the least purpose or desire Of dictat-
ing its action. Having sent the nomination
in he simply insisted that he was entitled to
have the Senate act upon il, and the Senate
in spite of Conkling aud Plat, did act and
confirm the nomination.
The issue presented on behalf of Gov. Plais-
ted 10 that the Council have no right to re-
jecs any of his nominations, which is too sillv
for discussion; and the papers which print
such stuff should be ashamed of it. The
people of this State understand the question,

II 10 particularly discreditable that some
papers pretending an especial regard for the
proprieties should seek to sustain Gov. Plais-
