Some Dorsey Letters.

A Washington special disp itch to the
Globe Democrdt says: A gentleman who has
Just returned from New York says that Ex-
Senator Dorsey has concluded not to give out
for publication the correspondence relative
to The Garf- Id and Arthur cimpaign, as he
threatened 10 do at the close OF the recent
S.ar-route trial. He saw Dorsey and talked
With him on the subject, AMI was shown
sOme of the letters sno teIegJ ans which pass
ed between Dorsey and Garfield during the
campaign. Il was III 'ught best, the gentle-
man raid, not 10 print what would tend only
to smirch Garfield in the public estimation.
There is not question in my mind" he
continued, "but that Dorsey and Brady
would never have been indicted had Garfield
lived. With this correspondence IN their
po:s ssion they were solid with Garfield.
This Is what hey have claimed, and that is
what can alone be deduced from the evil
dence in Dorsey's posse. sion. On the con-
trary, Dorsey held The whip-hsud, and would
have compelled G Gsrfeld 10 have driven both
MacVeagh and james out of the Cabinet.
That DJIsey would have done this, both
James and MacVtagh very well knew, for
Dorsey had already shown his hand before
Garfield was shot. Fer this reason they we're
uncorn promising in their pursuit of Dorsey.
What Dorsey and Brady had done for Gar
field was of no account as against Arthur,
although he wss indirectly benefited as
much as Arthur. They are very sore against
Arthur, but this public alton would scarcely
help them ag inst him. His hands are clean
of the G arield campaign fund"
The correspondence, thea, relates 10 the
last csmpsign~
"Mosily, though there are more important
documents originating eince the csmpaigp,
aud having direct reference TO the Star-route
cases. There is no question 10 my mind now
/ but that Garfield feli that he owed his cleo

That il, the party got the benefit Of the

"Hhe party realized largely on the profits

were stealing or not. That is what mesn n,
and, to be equally plain in o.her respects,
Gsrheld's gratitude snd promises would
have protected Dorsey and Brady from TO-

A CORRESPONDENT of one OF the London
papers at Paris has had an interview with
Prime Minister Ferry. Ferry declared that
the excitement 10 England over the Tama-
I ave affair must have arisen from a miscon-
ception of the feelings OF the French Cab
net, whose most sincere wish was TO cultivate
cordial relslioss with Englsud. Ferry be-
lieved the occurrences at Ismatave have been
exaggerated. The deceased British Consul, ne
said, was known to be snti.F French in atti-
tude. The idea that the French admir- al
would insult the British flag he deemed TO be
preposterous, aud he asserted that Admiral
Pierre could not have venlured to adopt the
extraordinary course attributed to him.

B1-ton Herald Und.): An expert opin-
ion az to the chances Of the Democratic cam
cidate for ;he Spsakershp is given by Ex
Speaker Keller. He thinks Mr.. Randall
will win, because he ia 'the shrewdest
worker" Instead OF relying upon public
opinion, or trusting to the best judgment of
his psriy's representatives next December, as
10 what the true in erests of the party require,
Mr.. Randall is erg iged in the work of six
ing" members of the House. His experience
and. skull as a wire -puIler give him a great
advantage over his com peiitors. No man in
the country can use the coveted places on
Committees 80 ss TO make them bring more
votes, or farm out the favors of the floor and
the crumbs of patronage more efectually
Than he. BY making his canvass privately,
and upon personal grounds, Mr.. Randall
keeps the main issue in the background; and
representatives who are outspoken in favor
OF reforming the tariff incline to vote for the
agent OF the Pennsylvanis rings because he
is "smaTt fellow" and has shown that he
can control the House. Such members should
remember how and for what purpose he con-
trolled the House. A more barren record
was never made by legislative body than
that scored BY the House of Representatives
under Mr.. RandalPs leadership. 1t was
owing to the disgust of the people at the do
nothing policy of the Damo ATTIC House that
the control Of that body was restored to the
Republicans. And if Mr.. Randall shall
again have authority TO shape the commit
tees, and prevent tariff reduction, the Repub-
licans will go in with a rush in 1884. II
the Republican policy in regard to the tariff
is TO prevail, the admirers of Mr.. Randall
may be sure that it's execution will be in
trus ed to the Repub icans.
