He Publishes a Letter in the Irish
World" on His Interview with Minis
ter West.
NEW YORK, March 2O.-Hon. A. S.
Hewitt has a long letter in the Irish
World, giving in detail an explanation of
his interview with Minister West, relative
to the O'Donnell resolution. He reiter-
ates his former statement that there was
no truth in the allegations that he assured
Minister West that the British Govern
ment need not be influenced by the action
IN the ODOnnell case as it was only
piece Of buncOmbe. Mr.. Hewitt states
that, at the request of young English
friend, he accompanied the latter on a
visit to the English Minister two days
after the passage of the O'Donnell resolu-
ton; that during this visit it was spoken
OF In the course Of the conversation,
and he improved the occasion of purely
social visit to urge upon Mr.. West the
proprlety OF the request and the de-
STABILITY Of acceding to it gracefully in
the interest Of the fsiendly relations be-
tween the two governments. Not the
slightest reference was made to its being
made for political effect. Other less con-
siderate resolutions were referred to, as
Mr.. West says in his letter, merely as an
seUui1AOhol ACdoOH huy luc IequeSb 5uOulu
be granted.
do not know that l would have been dere-
hct If had neglected the opportunity thus
afforded me to enforce the request, but how /
came to be censured for having urged the pro-
prlety OF the Presidents appeal for delay and
the good effects of granting it passes my com
prehenslon. Certainly if | had made the visit
expressly Tor this purpose it would have been
proper and commendable. How it could be
less SO because the visit was accidental l fail
to see.
The editor of the Irish World, in COM
menting upon Mr.. Hewitt's letter, says:
On review of the whole affair. seen IN the
IghJ OF MIR. Hewitt's long and unblemished
course, we do not for moment question that he
acted in entire good faith with respect to the
O'Donnell resolution, but he was un-
happy in his subsequent policy, if the term
may be used, which to some appeared
weakness and which the Englishman's let
ter does nOtstrengthen, but which Mr.. Hewitt
himself, and he certainly is the best exponent
OF his own intention, says was based solely on
moderation and courtesy with a view to Sc
curing favorable response. But here let the
matter end. A generous remembrance of
Mr.. Hewitt's noble services in the past and
sense OF justice in the present demand his
ylndicatiOn.

THE TARIFF IssTTE IN THE FAIL


In one portion he touches upon the ap-
preaching campaign in the following
words: Il believe that if the political
party to which l belong-the party which,
with all its frailties and shortcomings and
Dackslidings, is still the party of the poor
man as distinguished from the party of
Wealth-Were to 60 before the country in
the next Presidential canvass on the
issue of free trade VS.. tariff protection it
would in all probability be defeated at
the polls, for there is no class of voters
whose minds are more tainted with the
tariff heresies Of protection than the la
boring classes, who are most injured by
them. But on this issue give me defeat
again and again rather than victory
gained against the toll, blood, sweat and
comfort of my fellow men. / would
rather be on the side of right than have
such victory"
MR.. BROADHEAD FAVORs THE BILL.
Mr.. Broadhead, of Missouri, brought
the debate back 10 the bill under discus
sion with short speech in support of the
bill, which he favored on business princi-
pies. There was now IN the Treasury
withdrawn from circulation surplus of
Sl5O,OOO, 900 and he did not think the cur
rency should be further contracted by the
addition to that surplus of the revenue
which would be derived from 10000, 600
gallons of whisky. The bill was a Just,
fair and right one, and failure to pass it
would cause great distress.
MR.. BELFORD SUPPORTS BROADHEAD.
Mr.. Belford, of Colorado, favored the
bill because it would prevent $4,000, 900
from going to swell the surplus, and which
was kept at the Treasury out of the hands
of laboring men.
MIR. HERBERT's OPPOSITION.
Mr.. Herbert, of Alabama, said that he
wished the bill to be defeated by a square
vote, so that the men who were interested
in the manufacture of whisky should at
last come to understand that they must
abide by the law, that they could expect
no further legislation for their benefit. If
stormy days had come they had invited
them. If they were in peril, they were
responsible just as all other business men
were responsible. Pending action the COM
mittee rose.
As tomorrow is private bill day and
1t will require a twO-thlrds vote to take
up the bonded extension bill. it is not
probable that its consideration will be re-
sumed before Saturday. The House then
adjourned.

ALAPAHA's SENSATIONS.

Correspondence Of tie Noymiag Ne,os.
ALAPAHA, GA, March 1S.-On We'd
nesday, the 18th inst, a son of John
Griffin, who lives ten miles from here, ac-
cidentally shot his younger brother while
examining an old pistol which was thought
to be unlOaded. The ball entered the
right breast and lodged behind the shouI-
der blade. DR.. J. A. Fogle, on his rettpn
from professional visit to the wounded
boy. reported the wound not necessarily
FATAL and said that there was a reasonable
prospect for his early recovery. Later
reports show this opinion was correct, as
the young man has improved much faster
than was expected.
On Sunday last, at the residence of the
brides mother, Mrs. Lydia Williams,
Joseph Musslewhite and Miss Eliza Will

lated and very few guests were present to
witness the ceremonies, but Mr.. Mussle--
white has set himself right at last in the
eyes of all concerned.

Mr. Reese, of Georgia, regarded the bill
as the worst species of bad legislation he
mad ever known to be presented to the
American Congress. The owners of
whisky were no more entitled to relief
than any other class of spectators. and
this measure was wrong in principle and
dangerous as a precedent. He was in
favor of a repeal of the whole
internal revenue system, not on the idea
that it would enable protectionists to get
a higher duty, but because he did not be-
lieve that there was any authority for it
except in time of war.

GRANT AND ARTHUR MEET.

A Long Political Conference in which
Grant Says that He will Work for the
Nominee.
WASHINGTON, March 20.-President
Arthur to-day had a long conference with
Gen. Grant at the latter's hotel. The
talk was political. but with no reference
to particular candidates. AS a member
of the Cabinet said to the NEWS CORES
pOndent tonight, it was principally in
reference to Gen. Grants action in
the coming campaign. 1t has
been announced, apparently upon
some authority, that Gen. Grant will
take no part in the next campaign. Gen.
Grant said to President Arthur that this
was by no means true. He would, no
matter who was the Republican nominee,
work hard and earnestly to secure his
election. He thought that the Republi-
cans would win in the fight. No refer
ence was made, the informant of the
News correspondent says, to either Gen.
Grant supporting President Arthur or
President Arthur supporting Gen. Grant.
