NEw Yoak, March 19.-vanderbilt in
his interview on Thursday spoke Of the
New York, Lake Erie & Western Railroad

Mr.. Jewett in reply to this says the road
is not bankrupt, and that the statement is
a fabrication; that he regarded the alusion

holds. He regretted to find Vanderbilt
placing himself upon the same platform
and in the same business as those persons
whom he chooses TO designate as "Bears in
Wall street" When he uses such Ian
guage "it is their business TO depreciate the
value OF the property Of other persons, but
1t Is mean and dirty business; and that's
all there is about it." Mr.. Jewett added,
"There was no necessity for Vanderbits
attempting to depreciate the value Of Erie

Its understood that Vanderbilt referred

that II was not dividend paying.

Tur Hon. J.ll. Good, Of this city, has
been pnjcc,edinto the campaign thus early
bya friendly newspaper boom. Mr.. Good
ha, had experiences OF this sort before.
weshaii therefore give him Il piece OF gra-
tutons but not uniriendly advice. Don't
dependon newspaper booms. They are
good enough in their way, but they are
poor substitutes for the kind OF work re-
Ouircd in the interiorA And in the out edges
oIthe diocese. Col. Ben. is Il wary old en-.
emy to fight. lie is fond OF newspaper
booms, but he counts them rs dust in the
blancc as compared with actual and prac.
teal work on the hills and in the hollows
oI the far of places. lie will come to the
convention with atroop OF howlers Mt his
heels that meyer read newspapers, and that
will howl down the loudest newspaper in
the district alter they have been loaded up
tvooF three times. II Mr.. Good is going
to be anything more than an amateur can
dilae-and we have no doubt that he il
tired being this sort Of a candidate-he
must put on his everyday clothes and his
Sogie boots and 60 out where the howiers
live. THERE'S where Col. Ben. is to be
met II this disinterested advice is ig
norei hewil simply see history repeat it
Rli the next convention.

WASHINGTON, March l9:-There is rea-
son to believe that the consideration Of the
Garfield illness and funeral accounts in the
House will be one Of the most unpleasant
affairs that has yet transpired before that
body. The auditing committee is not a
unit by any means. A minority report
will be submitted by Springer and Black
burn, the former Of whom rarely agrees
with any one, and the latter
entertaining an inconsolable hatred
Of Bliss. Then the subject Of
General Barnes, in connection with the
Soldiers Home trouble, will be brought up
as an objection to giving him any reward,
and few stinging remarks will be directed
to the Congressmeu who have sent in little
bills for railroad fare and hotel expenses,
incurred in coming down here to attend
the funeral services, and from those who
went to Cleveland. On the whole, there is
likely to be good deal of bad taste dis
played in dealing with the accounts, al
though majority of the Committee have
done all in their powert to settle the matter
quietly.
