Tilden and Palmer.

Springfield, Illinois, February ga
few days ago ex.Gov. J. NJ. Palmer re.
ceived from Tilden the announcement
that he had determined to again be a
candidate, provided Gov. Palmer would
unite with him and be candidate for the
second place on the ticket. The docu.
mont containing this proposition has
been seen BY several Of Gov. Palmers
most intimate friends, all of whom have
been pledged to secrecy, but it has been
learned that Mr.. Tilden has therein set
forth his views relative to the next can
paign fully and apparently very fully
that he notes that the propo.
eition which he makes is the re-
suit of long deliberation aud
is endorsed BY his most trusted advisers
and that he recognized MIR. Palmer a,
probably the ablest democratic repre-
sentative in the west, and the most avail
able candidate in all respects that coult
be associated with himself. That b,
believes that Palmer's popularity among
the colorsd people would render it i'm
possible for the republicans to bold th,
colored vote against the ticket. Thes,
and other reasons were given and he urg
cd the desirability Of both parties con
curing in the combination. Gov. Paine
has been interviewed but he declined {.
say word about the matter and neithe
admits nor denies anything. 1t is believ
ed that he has not yet had time to Civ,

the probabilities are that the propose,
alliance will be effected,

Press, Chicago, February %. 18S2-To
the public: One week ago there came
in the report Of the western press from
Washington what purported to be o cir
cumstantial account of the testimony of
Mr.. Pitney on denomination before the
senate committee making inquiry into

~ and Mrs. Sherman. While this re-
port seemed to have been made by some
person present at the session of the COM
mittee, it was yet of 80 extraordinary
character rs to suggest doubt as to its
genuineness. This doubt disappeared
on the following day, when the Washing
ton correspondent informed me that Cur
tain desired to send in some way

mony of Emerson. This was declined
and Inquiry made of the correspondent

Washington, February 24-In the
house Belmont offered resolution di-
rscting the committee on foreign af-
fairs to inquire into and report to .he
house respectingthe abstraction from the
files in the state department of certain
letters and documents referred to in q
letter Of the secretary of state, February
18th; also respecting tho making of any
contract in Paris or elsewhere or between
foreign corporations or companies and
American citizens concerning any con-
cession made by Peru to any French or
foreign company wherein allusion was
made to the diplomatic action of the
United States. The resolution was
adopted.
The president nominated Roscoe
ConklinR, of New York, AZ associate JUS
tice Of the supreme court Of the United
States. and A. A. Sargent, Of California,
as minister to Germany.
| The nomination of Conkling created
quite . stir in the senate. q. it was en-.
tirely unexpected, and senators freely
express their surprise. The indications
are that he will be confirmed unaninous.
ly. Sargent's nomination surprised some
of his friends. who maintained until the
last that he would be secretary of the
interior. kirkwood's friends have beer
working. industriously in his behalf ol
late, though he has not made single
movement for himself. There's slight
probability Of Conkling's dsclination. He
said he was not communicated with on
the subject and believed that if he de.
clines Senator Edmunds will be appoint
ad. The nomina' ion of Sargent is re
garded as settling the fact that Kirk
wood will be retained at the head of the
interior department.

to be warranted by the gravity of the
wrong done. and the importance of
placing the vindication OF q distin-
guished public officer aud citizen beyond
all question. In making this statement,
it is also proper to add that this is the
first instance since the organization of
the Associated Press when derigning per.
sons have succeeded in using its iacili.
ties for an improper and malicious pur.
pose. 1t has been tried often, but was
never before successful. It is believed
that this mishap is due to the inexper1.

Affecting is prevalent among the sena-
tors that the president will not make
change in the secretaryship of the inter-

chat q heavy case in which he was inter-
ested was pending. This caused SO much
procrastination that 1t is thought he will
probably keep Mr.. Kirkwood. He can
do this very well, as he has made good
officer. and the people Of Iowa very much
desire that he should remain.
