Casey Young and that Field Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, June 15th.-Casey Young,
member of Congress from Tennessee, who
was reported in these dispatches some days
since as saying that he had seen a tele
gram from the Chairman of the late Cali
fornia Democratic Convention, in which it
was stated that majority of the delegates
to Chicago were friendly to Justice Field,
was to-day shown dispatch from San
Francisco, denying that any such word had
been sent by Stephen NJ. White late Chair
man of the Stockton Convention. At first
Mr.. Young declined to reply to the matter,
but upon his attention being called to the
fact that if he had made any such state
ment he did great injustice to Mr.. White,
he consented to be interviwed
IF l was reported as saying that had
seen a dispatch from the Chairman of the
Democratic Convention" said Mr. Young,
g that is a mistake. I never heard of White
before, and no such name was signed to
any message | have ever seen"
What name was 81 gned to the dispatch
you saw"
g l don't remember; but I'm sure it was
not Stephen NJ. White. Even if | knew
who sent the message l could not tell you
without the consent of the gentleman who
received ii"
What is the gentleman's name who re-
ceived it?'
8 cannot answer that without his con-
sent. He is a private citizen, and | don't
know whether he desires to be mixed up in
this matter or not.
After some urging, Mr.. Young consented
to call on his unknown friend this after
noon, to endeavor to obtain his consent to
Ny+ i
terious message. This evening he stated
that as the whole thing was private mat
ter, his friend, who had shown him the
message in confidence, refused to divulge
his own name, or that of the member of
the Stockton Convention who had said a
majority of the Chicago delegation were
friendly to Justice Field.
'As injustice appears to have been done
Stephen NJ. White i'll this matter said Mr..
Young, " | wish you would telegraph a
short explanation which | will write, will
you?"
Your correspondent agreed to do so, if he
would restrain his Congressional habit of
elaboration, and sitting down, Mr.. Young
wrote out the following statement; AS
YOU know. the matter contained in your
original interview was uttered on the floor
of the Senate to a group of gentlemen,
some of whom had Just said it was ridicu-
lous to nominate Judge Field, because he
could not carry California. You repre-
sented my views correctly i'll respect to
Judge Field, but you misunderstood me in
two particulars. | did not say | had Just
been to California, but that | had recently
returned from the West, and knew the
feeling among the people of that section,
and the character of the opposition to Judge
Field. | said | had Just seen telegram
from a member of the California Conyen-
tion-not from its Chairman. That the
telegram had been shown me only few
minutes before the conversation occurred,
and that it stated that a majority of the
delegates to the Chicago Convention from
California We're friendly to Judge Field.
This telegram was not from Mr.. White,
Chairman of the State Convention. did
not know that was being interviewed, or
| should have been more careful 10 prevent
a misunderstanding. | regret that this
matter has caused Mr. White any trouble,
and did not intend that any one should
understand that any telegram had come
from him"
This was all that Mr. Young would say
on the subject, he having previously refused
to give the names of the sender and re-
ceiver of the message referred to.
The California Congressional Nomina-
dOns.
WASHINGTON, June 15th.-There is some
mystery about the information received
here concerning the California Congress
sional nominations Morrison, the leader
of the Democratic free traders in the House.
was in communication with the Stockton
Convention, and knew Of the Congress
siOnal nominations a whole day before
they We're published here in the news
papers. 1t is noteworthy that Budd is the
only man renominated where an election
is possible out of the members of the Cali
fornia delegation who voted against Morri-
sons bill. There is a shrewd suspicion
here that the "chivalry' element in Cali
fOrnia has been making successful on
slaught on the California delegation, in
consequence of its protection prOcliv
ities. Members of the delegation openly
say that the party organs in their
districts have been supplied by
somebody here with free-trade literature,
and attacks of the Eastern press on Ran
dali and the members from California who
voted with him. 1t is well known that a
prominent Los Angeles politician, in whose
congressional district a motion to pledge
against Judge Field was voted down, kept
Morrison constantly advised of affairs at
Stockton. 1t may be, therefore, that the
Illinois statesman had something to do
with the failure to renominate Tully and
Sumner, both of whom voted against his
bills. He certainly knew of their defeat
before they did themselves.

partment has formally notified the British

antine was established at noon to-day be-
tween Brownsville and Matamoras, and

ton on the part of the Texas State author
