THE BITTER FIGHT in NEW YORK.

THE BITTER FIGHT In NEW YORK.
The antagonism between the rival Stal.
wArt factions over the New York senator.
ship promises to become very bitter. The
Presidents friends have been for several
days induatriously spreading the report
that Minister Morton WAS under solemn
pledge not to be q candidate against
Arthur. Though this WAS strsnuously
denied, II received some crsdsnoe because
1t was backed by James D. Warren, who
has said the pledge was made to him. On
Saturday ex-senator Plat sent cable
gram Of inquiry to Morton, and has re.
ceived in reply denial Of the story and
q copy Of the letter alleged to contain the
promise alluded to. Those who have
been permitted to see the letter affirm
that 1t contains only complimentary
allusion to the President In connection
with the senatorship, but in nowfse
bound Morton not to be candidate.
Congressman Burlsigh has made the
public statement that when tine New
YeIk state committee was in financial
stress during the recent canvass Warren
sent to Mr.. Arthur statement OF the
facts, whereupon he came over to New
York and rendered invaluable aid in
raising money and otherwise. A mem
Der Of the state committee, who was
asked about this story, said: "If there
was any such thing done it was hidden
from light. II Mr.. Arthur raised any
money for Warren it went into the fight
for AsiemblYmsn and NOT iuto the general
committee fund"

change wss owing TO organic troubles. DR..
Baxter, OF the army, was the authority
quoted for Q time upon this subject, but
be has denied this. There are, however,
several Senators who heard him make the
ststsment.
One of Arthur's intimate friends said to-
cay that the change in his physical condi-
ton was rather the sign Of good health.
Up to a year ago he was q free liver. and

The result OF this careful dieting has been
TO reduce his flesh and remove the color

comes from his late adoption OF austere
habits. There 10 no one in the world more

forcibly put that copy the main points.
After some general introduction he says
he is rei;her Democrat or Republican,
but very evenly divided upon general
questions between the two. For instance,
believe in free trade, which, it is claimed,
means tariff for revenue only, and why we
should levy and collect more revenue than
is actually needed for the proper main.

dealing with the underlings, subject to

JUSTICE TO FITZ JOHN PORTER
Al the Hands OF His COuntrymen Com
ing Late, but Coming sure.

SpSctQt 10 inc htptStcT.
WASHINGTON, January l9.-The past week
in Congress has heen one OF the kind de-
scribed by North Carolina editor as "a week
in which not much has been accomplished,
but in which considerable progress has been
made" The Mississippi appropriation
has been taken care Of; the Electoral Count
bill has been given good start; the Mex
ican Reciprocity Treaty has been gotten
out of the way, and the House has inserted
its Looks firmly in the Fitz John Porter
case. There is not much doubt that bill
for the relief Of Porter will be passed at
tbs e:sion, but il will be fought as Wes-
tern member expressed it from lend to
lend" General slocum, o'New York, who
has charge of the bill, and who
epened the Debate in the House
yeste rdsy, made an aggressive speech and
drew brisk fire from the opposi'io in
reply. He is a wiry old veteran with an
army record of his own that cannot be
questioned, and natural aptitude for d.
bate. shsrpened by long practice in the
courts. At the close OF the war he COM
mapded one Of Sherman's army corps,
while Logan comm snded the other, and
as he stood ON the floor Of the House yes
terday his tall, lender figure, crowned with
a'cood, grey head, and his voice ringing
through the hall in earnest defense OF his
| former comrade, and in vigorous denunci-
alton of the means employed TO accom-
! plish Porters ruin, il suggested how read.

| manders could be found at one end OF the
CspiIol advocating PUrter's reinstatement,
| while the other was getting ready in the
| Senate to renew his attack or last session.
Among the Notable Features
! OF SloCum's speech was his references to

The Demand for Them Much Larger
Than Anticipated.
Reports from the POstoffice Department
show that the demand for the new postai
notes is greater than was anticipated, and
that upward of one million more notes
than estimated will be required during the
current year. The largest sale OF them has
been in the smallest towns from which they
are sent to the largest cities, some OF ths
retail stores in New York receiving a.
many as five or six hundred daily. They
are deposited there like checks, drafts or
cash and collected from the postoffices by
bsrk messengers, and during the second
week OF December last
More Than Twenty thousand OF Them
were paid by the New York office alone.
They have not seriously affected the sale
of postal orders the decrease in money
