Reecher,s Preference for Mayor

ESeecner7S FFeaGfcnc6 HOT NAthy yOrs
Special to the Globe.
New YORK, Oct 93.-Henry Ward
Beecher was asked to-day which of the
candidates for mayor of Brooklyn he would
support, Gen. Catlin, Republican; Hon. d.
d. Whitney, Democrat, or Gen. Wood
ward, the nominee of the Citizens league.
He declared himself in favor of Woodward
because the other candidates represented
''the machiners." Gen. Woodward was q
Democrat, but the Office of mayor having
been in the hands of Republican for two
terms, it was perfectly fair that it should
now go to Democrat. All that independ-
ents asked was that he should be in favor
of the system Of municipal administration
which has prevailed for the past four years.
His objections to the other candidates were
not personal, but on account of the auspices
under which they were nominated. Mr..
Whitney has been member of Mr.. Beech
er'S church.

"A Government Trembling.

PANAMA, Oct. 23.-News may be looked
for from this government at any moment of
decisive battle between the rebel Caceres
and his followers and the government
forces. An encounter is inevitable unless
Caceres retires to the interior. A defeat
suffered by the government would probably
be fatal to its existence. Its resources are
not sufficient to organize another expedi-
tion of the magnitude of that now in the
field. Should Caceres be badly worsted he
could not be able to keep the remnants of
his force, together. Commerce is at the
lowest ebb in the history of Peru.

Upholding johnson.


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Oct. 23.-Hon.
David S. Gordon, marshal Of the District of
Columbia under Andrew johnson, to-day
made the following statement as to the po-
litical views by the president. Soon after
President J0hnSon'S accession to be presi-
dent, | was appointed United States mar
shal for the District of Columbia. L en-
tered Oh the duties in June, 1865, and con-
tinued in that Office during his term of the
presidency. The usages of that Office. the
apprehenslons of the many for the personal
safety OF the president and the deep interest
/ felt therein and for his administration,
| caused me to be frequently at the White
house, and | was on intimate and confiden-
tial terms with, and often heard President
johnson express his views, intentions and
purposes in regard to the course to be pur-
sued in the restoration of peace and union.
He declared in messages, letters, public
speeches and in private conversations what
was known at the time as President John
sons policy. and frequently stigmatized as
my policy" 1t was IN substance and
briefly, this: That no state had been out
of the Union; that all were in the
| Union, and as states had equal
rights under the constitution, none could be
| punished by the general government fol-
/ tlCdSOli. DllG lllUlNluudlS COulu dllC
committed treason. and could be punished
as traitors; that as fast as loyal men were
elected to congress they should be admitted
to seats and that the South should be en-.
couraged to elect loyal men to congress by
their immediate admission to seats and par.
ticipation in legislation; that each house o
congress was judge of the election and quail
iicatiOn of its own members, and that unre
| pentant and unDardOned rebels should no
be admitted to seats in congress, not be
cause their states were out of the Union
nor because they were not entitled to repre-
sentatiOn in congress. but because of tht
unpardoned treason of the member-elect
that no state or district should be deniet
representation, if the member-elect wa
loyal to the government. Hon. c. NJ. De
pew must surely have misunderstood Gen
Grant at that dinner of many courses ant
several hours duration. His recollection
must be bad and his Imagination vivid.

New YORK. Oct. 22.-The Commercial
Advertiser publishes an interview with
Gen. Butler by its Boston correspondent on
the Grant-J ohnson controversy. Gen. But
ler says there are many reasons why the
charge that johnson desired to revolutionize
the government was not brought up in the
impeachment trial. The chief reason, and
the conclusive one, was that that offense
was not charged in the articles Of impeach-
ment, and he (Butler), as counsel i'll that
case. did not care to offer incompetent
testimony. The charge was not embodied
in the articles of Impeachment because
it could not be proved. The talk between
Grant and johnson, his commander-in-
chief, was in the nature of a priv
ileged communication, and that Gen. Grant
SO held was shown by the fact that he did
not disclose it till long after Johnson's
death. There was another project of
President JohnSOnS as to revolutioniZing
the government, some of the details OF
which were partly known at the time but
which could not be proven. which had not
taken the form of action and which were
not brought into the impeachment proceed
ings. l myself had some very strong moral
evidence upon two questions which did
not care to make known to the public. in
the impeachment proceedings, but one of
which | investigated secretly as chairman
of the committee for that purpose and while
there was disclosed to me some very DAM
aging facts under the circumstances, they
were not so conclusive that | deemed it
proper to exhibit an article of Impeachment
against the president of the United States
on that behalf. l still retain some of the
instruments of evidence that strongly tend
to support my belief. The other PROPOSE
ton of Mr.. johnson to control the govern
ment, differing from that of Gen. Grant in
the measures to be taken, but not in the end
to be reached, it now seems to me for the
first time, must have been made after Gen.
Grant had refused to accede to Johnson's
propositions, and knowing now what had
been said to Grant. it would seem to show
that that proposition was entertained be-
! cause of Grants refusal, and. while what
was known to me in regard to it gave me
strong belief, it was not in shape to be
brought before the public" Gen. Butler
declined to say what the propositions were,
and intimated they would not be made pub
| lie till after his death.

Crops of Three Counties.

During the last ten days your correspondent
has travelled through the richest portions of
Dakota, Hennepin and Wright counties, and
it is surprising to note the improvement in
the crop prospects during the past two
weeks. 1t is true that in many places the
grain is thin and short, but il is coming for
ward for all that the straw is worth. The
barley harvest will begin the last of this
week in Dakota county. Farmers in Hen
nepin county are very backward in saving
their hay crops. Immense areas of timothy
and clover are still uncut. This is probably
due to the fact that the potato bug has given
them hard fight, as never before has there
been such large area planted TO potatoes in
that county. The traveller in Brooklyn Cen
ter in former years would see large fields
planted TO melons. This year few are seen,
but potatoes take their place. With dry
harvest in proportion TO the amount of
straw on the ground, very large yield of a
high grade of wheat may be expected in
these three counties.

Dies MONIES, July 2O.-The railroad
commissioners have just decided a case of
some importance TO shippers One Hamil-
ton Of Kansas came to Abba, in this state,
to attend a sale of fine cattle. In order to
know how he should fix his bids he inquired
of the agent of the Chicago. Burlington ~
Quincy road there the rates on cattle to
Welda. The rate was given. He purchased
a bull and at 1Once shipped it. After it
had started. the agent informed Hamilton
he had given the wrong rate, and the way
bill was made at the schedule rate, which
was higher than that given. Hamilton
complained to the commissioner and asked
for d refunding of the Overcharge. The
company set up as defense that no contract
was made with Hamilton for shipment.
therefore he was bound by the published
schedule of rates. and that Hamilton was
notified of the error 50 soon as discovered.
The commissioners held that an agree
ment to do something for valuable con-
sideratiOn, and an acceptance OF the
agreement by another party constitutes a
contract. Hamilton asked an agent of the
defendant the price of shipment. He was
told and he made a purchase, relying on
such price. and made shipment OF the
thing purchased. The agent discovered he
had made an error in the price, but the
shipment was made and the thing pur-
chased was en- route to its destination. 1t
