An OLD MATTER.

The testimony of ex-Postmaster General
James before the Springer committee has
developed some sensational features. One
of the prominent points is James version in
regard to certain charges made against Gar
field by members of his own party, to the
effect that he owed his election to the star
route crowd, and that he in consequence did
not use his influence to have them prosecut-
ed. This is denied by James. He says that
Garfield, although warned that vigorous
prosecution of the principal offenders might
strike men in high places, and affect many
persons to whom he was under personal obi
cations directed that thorough investigation
should be made and the guilty punished, no
matter who were involved.
This version is based on an alleged inter-
view between James and some other officials
with Garfield, and during which a lawyer,
William A. Cook, is reported to have stated
to Garfield that there was danger in the air,
which menaced the safety of the president.
Mr.. Cook explains this statement by saying
that he knew of no particular danger, but
inferred its existence "from the general talk
of the times, from comments of the news
papers, and from the threats reported from
the ordinary channels of gossip" from which
he noted that there was every bitter feel
ing being worked up against the president -
He says that he called the attention of the
president to s'oneSact. and that was there

7rB. MoBRIsoS,S CONFESSION

All advices from Washington are to the
effect that there will be no change in the
tariff at this session of congress. An ap-
parently well informed Washington cor
respondent makes the following statement:
Morrison has just made confession which
will startle his friends as much as it will amaze
them. He admits that all the work of the ways
and means committee is so much lost time and
that the bill will never become law. This after
noon a careful estimate of the strength of the
Democratic opposition was made and it is found
to be easily equal to the task of blocking all tariff
legislation for the year. This conclusion is
reached after an actual count which brings to
light the fact that fifty members of the majority
will vote with the Republicans. Thirty five
would be enough, so that the fate of the bill is
not involved in much doubt. There is no posi-
bility of overcoming this hopeless division

annual Relnorts.

CLEVELAND, Mar. 5.-The annual meeting
of the stockholders of the Cleveland, Coum
bus, Cincinnati & indianapolis railroad was
held here this morning. j. H. Devereaux,
/. Park, James Barnett and T. H. Hardy
were elected directors for two years without
opposition. Thos. P. Fowler, representing
English stockholders, offered resolution re-
questing the directors to declare divide nds
equal to the net earnings of last year, and
also similarly divide among tie share
holders s., 900, 900, representing the accum-
ulation, net earnings. The resolution was
declared adopted, and referred to the direct
ors for consideration. President Devereaux
reported the gross earnings, 1864 900; the
operating expenses, 69115 per cent. of the net
earnings, decrease of 10 per cent.
The bonded debt was increased 1880, 600 and
now is 81, 295, 900. The increase is due to
the outlay attending the reorganization of
the Indianapolis and st. Louis The report
state the s12,OO0,OO0 mortgage is to include
and retire all outstanding mortgages, and to
yield about four million and half bonds as
provision for the present and future re-
quirements in the development and add
tons to the estate.

THE INFLUENCE OF SATIRE.

James G. Blaine has put Roscoe Conkling's
portrait in his book, with great many 9TH
ers, more or less distinguished. It is not
believed that he has put into his book, his
pen portrait, or speech portrait of the great
stalwart leader, delivered in the House of
Representatives, some fifteen years ago when
they were both members of that body. This
notably singing satire has never been for
given by Mr. Conkling, and never will be.
1t was to Mr.. Blaine costly price of satire,
and has cost him the Presidency.
Mr.. Conkling, notwithstanding his youth
full "strut'' afterwards grew to great political
stature and power, and had he and Blaine
been sworn friends instead Of sworn enc
mics, the latter might have reached the goal
of his ambition, now forever beyond his
reach. And more, had Blaine and Conkling
been personal as well as political friends, or
being enemies had not Blaine gone into
Garfeld's cabinet. doubtless the latter would
be alive to-day. ''It is the unexpected that
often happens.'' To what huge dimensions
often grow the passing incidents of a day,
the apparently trifing occurrences Of an
hour.
Blaine's brief, but bitter, singing satirical
speech upon Conkling, has had a marked
effect upon the political career of them both.
1t has no doubt resulted in the assassination
indirectly o. "a President; it has driven both
Blaine and Conkling into private life; disap-
pointed in their aspirations, and with am
bition unsatisfed and blighted. Upon what
a slender thread are oftentimes momentus
consequences hung. The following is the
old time, salient satire of Blaine on Conk-
ling;
''The contempt of that large minded gentleman
is so willing; his naughty disdain, grandiloquent
swell, his majestic, supereminent, oyerpowering
turkey -gobbler strut, has been SO crushing to
myself that it was act of the greatest temerity
for me to venture upon controversy with him.
But, sir, / know who is responsible for all this.
know that within the last five weeks, as mem
bers of the house will recollect, extra strut
has characterized the gentleman's bearing. 1t is
not his fault. 1t is the fault of another. That
gifted and satirical writer Theodore Tilton, of
the New York Independent, spent
some weeks recently in this
city. His letters published in that paper en-
braced, with many serious statements, little
jocose satire, part of which was the statement
that the mantle of the late Winter Davis had
fallen upon the member from New York. The
gentleman took it seriously, and it has given
his strut an additional pomposity. The resem-
blance is great: it is striking. Hyperion to q
satyr, Thersites to Hercules, mud to marble,
dunghill to diamond, a single cat to a Bengal
tiger, a whining puppy to roaring lion.
Shade of the almighty Davis, forgive the almost
proclamation of that jocose satire.'
EX-SENATOR Conkiing is out of politics he
says. But give Blaine the nomination
into politics with great celebrity, to put the
''Plumed Knight" out of politics. The sure
wav to secure Conkling's aid in electing a
Democratic President, is for the Republicans to
put Blaine in nomination.

The Page Assignment.

The voluntary assignment Of A. H. Page,
who runs the the French restaurant on St.
Peter street near Fourth was put on record in
the district court yesterday, Frederick c. Alb
bolt being the assignee. Mr.. Page, who was
formerly head waiter at the Metropolitan,
started his restaurant at a rather in
opportune time when he had to
compete with Magee's new restaurant,
the Cafe Brevoort and the Cafe
Livingston. He endeavored to run first
class place, but the location which he chose
rendered success with such an establishment
impossible, especially when taken in connec
ton with the competition he had to contend
with. His failure is not surprise, having
been expected for some time. 1t is stated
that the debts of a number of bad customers,
including the late superintendent of mails,
Bosworth, had much to do with precipitating
the assignment.

New YORK, March 6.-At caucus called

members of the Republican county commit

as chairman of the caucus. Police Commits
sioner Mason stated that the object
Of the meeting was to consult
about the permanent officers of the
new county committee. The roll was called
on an informal ballot, each member being
requested to express his preference for a
chairman of the county committee. Many
said they would not be bound by the action
of the caucus. The result of the informal
ballot was: OBrien 1l9, Marrelle W.
Cooker IA, VIM. Dowd 3, Geo. B.
Dean 20. Col. Spencer moved that O'Brien
be declared the nominee of the caucus
for presentation to the county committee.
There were violent speeches in opposition to
O'Brien. The motion was finally carried
with an ''aye'' which shook the building.
About dozen voted ''no.' The meeting
then adjourned precipitately, but not before
Hazeltine had withdrawn from the room af-
ter entering protest against the proceed
ings.

A BOXING MATCH.
The Sullivan-RobinsOn Match in San
Francisco ScoOped by Sullivan.

SAN Francisco, March 6.-Fifteen thou
sand people were inside the Pavilion this
evening to witness the Sullivan Robinson
match 1t is estimated as many more were
turned away. The receipts from the sale of
tickets were close on $40, 000< The tickets
were sold at SIS advance. The hall arrange
ments, under Hugh Coyle, were perfect. A
hundred police were distributed in the audi
ence to preserve order. Sullivan made
the first appearance in the ring at $3.50
in first class form, and was greeted enthusi-
astically. A few seconds later he was fol-
lowed by Robinson, whose condition was I'M
favorably commented on by the audience.
The former weighed 204 and the latter 10
pounds. The announcement that the police
had disallowed the use of three ounce gloves
was Missed, and eight ounce gloves were used.
Thos. Chandler was referee, Hiram B. Cook,
time keeper for Robinson, and VIM. Muldoon
for Sullivan. Robinson was knocked down
eight times in the first round, going down at
each blow of Sullivan, without receiving pun
ishment.
The second round was an exact repetition
of the first, except that Robinson fell down
fourteen times in rapid succession. In the
third round the same maneuvres on the part
of Robinson, who however did not succeed
so wellin avoiding punishment, getting sew
eral severe blows, none of which appeared to
take the starch out of him. In this round
A claim of foul was made on the part of
Sulliyan's time keeper, that Robinson fell
without being struck by Sullivan. The claim
was not noticed by the referee. In the fourth
round, Robinson's trick of falling without an
exchange of blows was too evident for the
referee to allow it to pass. The
round was unfinished and the match
given to Sullivan on the foul specified
above. Robinson escaped without apparent
punishment, though Sullivan planted several
left hand under cuts on his face when Rob-
inson was in the act of falling. Robinson's
conduct is severely censured by the spec
tators. Sullivan was loudly cheered. A
match had been arranged between Pete Nc
Coy and Young Dutch, but was stopped by
the police on account of the gloves to be used.
