SHERMAN AND HAMPTON.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-Somc stir has
been created, especially in Senatorial cir
cles, by publication in the Post of to-day,
of articles in relation to the personal diff
ferences between Senators Sherman and
|. Hampton. The Posts article alleges that
an employee of the Treasury named Kent
was the author of letter published in a
Charleston paper over a year ago, making
grave accusations against the character of
Senator Hampton; that when Hampton
came here at the meeting of Congress, he
began an investigation of this publication,
and found that Kirk had written the letter
by the direction of Secretary Sherman, and
saws that he has a letter from Sherman
actually directing him to make an attack
on Hampton. A Western Associated Press
reporter this afternoon asked Senator Shcr-
man if he had anything to say about the
matter He replied that he had not; that
he could only express the contempt he felt
| for it. He said he did not believe Senator
Hampton was responsible for the publica-
1 ton in the Post If he was, he had only
placed himself in very ridiculous atti-
tude The Posts article said Kirk refused
to give copy of the letter he claimed tc
have from Sherman. Senator Sherman
said this morning that if anybody wanted
copies of any letters he had written, they
were welcome to them, and he would gel
copies without any difficulty. Senator
Hampton said he had not talked about tn;
matter, and did not know how it got into

Minister Hurlbut has written letter to
the Chairman of the House committee on
foreign affairs, showing the shallowness of
the Cachet claim, upon which the Peruvi-

company claim title, was an illegitimate,
and Cachet himself, during his life time,
never made any such claim.

while we are in favor of a ship canal, we

an appropriation to assist in the construc-

state to abdicate its vested right, and that
it is useless to submit to the people the

viii give no aid except on that condition.
The resolution was referred to the canal

CITY BONDS.

Mayor Carse left for New York last Sat
urday night, to assist in negotiating the
new water works bonds of the sum of $685.
600. The new series were issued to refund
the first series of similar amount issued
in 1879. The first series paid per cent.
interest, and the present bonds only bear
5 per cent.
1t was reported that mistake had been
made in printing the refunding series of
bonds which necsssitated the Mayors pres
cnce in New York. Such, however, does
not appear to be the case, as his visit was
made in answer to some inquiries made by
the brokers at New York, regarding the
interest and the surety Gifts payment.
1t is stated that Capt. T. J. Robinson
and Hon. P. L. Gable have advanced the
$25. 900. necessary to pay the old series on
the 1st of February, in case the new re-
funding series are not disposed of at that
time.

One of the prsprietors refused point blank
to such an agreement. and stated his de-
termination to keep open on Sunday, as
had been generally the case in this city
from time whereof the memory of man
runneth not to the contrary.
The remaining Knights of the Racer will
