MIR. MORRISON'S REPORTED DENIM.
CATION OF THE PRESIDENT.

AAS OcnlHA SOunrknGO DIV ME. WAITER
son.
The following statement by Mr.. Henry Wat
terson appears in his paper, the Louisville Cba-
rier-Journal, this morning:
IOuchlng statement in the Washington
correspondence of the New York Herald that
had given the Hon. VIM. r. Morrison as the
author OF certain remarks quoted from the
Cbmrier-Journdl by the Heralds correspondent,
together with Mr.. Morrisons denial of the Sor-
rectness OF the language ascribed to him, and
his relation OF what he did actually say, my
memory comedies with that OF Mr. Morrison
But l did not give Mr.. Morrison as the
author OF the precise language brought into
HeraM Mr.. Nordhof had it seems,
to MIR. Beck. Meeting me he told me this. and,
having no thought OF his making IA private con-
versation the subject ofpublic controversy, re-
Mr: Beck who had expressed dissatisfaction,
but Mr.. Morrison. I supposed Mr. Nordhoff to
S %ss Mr n ienS and my aud
to Mr.. Beck.
detach q paragraph from the Cburier-Journai
printed anonymously, and alphabetically to
illustrate the more cherries view held BY de-
spending democrats OF the situation, declares
Mr.. Morrison to lie responsible for the exact
words OF this paragraph, gives me as authority
10 or .hls .atier statement ana then undertakes
son and myself to our joint discredit.
This is the whole case in a nutshell. Without
word to me or to Mr.. Morrison, MIR. Nordhoff
rushed into print with a statement, based UPON
his misconception of private conversation had
in the unguarded confidence of a long-existing
personal intimacy, and intended simply to cor
rect u mistake OF his own, precisely as, with no
shadow OF foundation, he had previously
rushed into print to volunteer a conjecture as to
Mr.. Beck. 1.-The had taken the trouble to ad.
wise me OF his purpose to publish what he had
got OF me In this way, should have endeav-
ored to dissuade him from unjuStif1able an
act; but failing In this, would have explained
the matter just as Mr.. Morrison explained it.
The whole affair seems to me u much-ado-about
nothing business, because Mr.. Morrison and
myself are agreed as to what was said, and I
could have no object in misrepresenting him.
But this is MIR. Nordhotf7s business and leave
him to settle 1t with himself, or any one else
who takes an interest in it,

Railroad Land Titles.
THE SITUATION AS EXPLAINED BY REPRESEN-
TATIvE PAYsoN-sETTLERs SAID TO BE NEED
LESSLY ALARMED.
Representatives, yson, ofIllinos, who was the
leader of the republican minority ON the public
lands committee last Congress, says that the set
tiers out west are needlessly alarmed ON account
Of the recent decision by the Supreme Court
that technically, the titles OF the railroad lands
which have been sold by the railroad companies
to settlers, but have not yet been patented still
rest In the United States. The decision has
been construed 10 mean that the settlers who
nave 40 purchased have no valid title to their
lands, and may be deprived OF them at any
time. This Is not the case, the title that the
government holds to the lands by this decision
Is that the land to be held to secure the cost
OF the survey, and may be acquired at any time
by the settlers by the paying for the survey Of
their lands. The railroad companies will then
have to make good the cost to them.
The court suggested that o bill might be
passed by Congress forfeIting the lands not
patented within o time stated after the passage
Of the act. Mr.. PaysOn is going to introduce In
the House the bull, which was offered by him
last year aud passed. but allied in the Senate,
through amendments. This bill provides for
the forfeiture of all lands upon which the cost
OF survey has not been paid within sixty days
AFTER the holders have received notice.

THE BUILDING ASSOCIATIONS.
Other Associations Not Affected by che
Troubles I'm West WashinetDu-Whaa
Building Association Men say.

Mr.. NJ. Ashford, who is q leading building a.
ISOLATION man, speaking Of the troubles in the
Georgetown building association, said 10 star
reporter that there need be no fear Of q panic
among associations because Of this affair. The
result, he thought, would be beneficial o in
the case Of the failure OF Q wildcat bank all
those who are not solid will 20 under, and
those who are safe will rise In the estimation Of
the public.
Mr.. John A Prescott, well known In building
associations, said: 81 can't see that the Georxe-
town associations will hurt any Others, for they
are all independent of each other, and since
the affair has been made public have seen no
signs whatever of any distrust on the part u
stockholders i'm other associations. The only
effect ii will have will be 10 make the building
associations more particular, and consequently
safer for the stockholders"
IN. Oscar Nauck, who is interested as an At
torney in such associations, stated that the
Georgetown affair would OF course make such
associations feel shaky, but IL will doubtless be
OF benefit In making all OF them more careful;
but there Ii no reason that he knows TO doubt
the solvency Of the associations.
Mr.. II. kottmann, who il connected with a
number OF building associations In the Dis
trict said he did not think any Of the other as
sociations would be in the least affected by the
troubles in the Georgetown associations. Both
the secretaries and the treasurers OF all the
associations he knows OF are under bond and
are jointly responsible.

AuC new SCRfs
PROF. FRIsBY, OF THE NAVAL OBSERVATORY,
GETS VIEW OF 1T.
Last night offered an admirable opportunity
for a search for the new star, the discovery of
which was announced from Europe few days
ago. Prof. Frisby, Of the naval observatory,
took advantage of the clear condition of the
heavens last night, and made observations
which resulted in his finding the new star By
his observations this morning the
question of identity was settled beyond doubt
in the minds OF those Interested in the matter.
The position 1t occupies Is new to astronomers,
and corresponds exactly with that of the star
in Europe. The star is OF about the
sixth or seventh magnitude. Nothing further
is yet known about it here

chosen TO act secretary and treasurer.
Thursday and yesterday Mr. Fairbrother and
the teachers OF his division communicated the
plans To the school children who manifested
enthusiastic interest in the work. The chill
dren, all of whom are considered members
OF the club will bring 10 their respective teach
ers such contributions they able
in the way of articles Of food, clothing.
or money. Meanwhile. the children
and teachers, are getting the names and I'D.
dresses OF families whose Christmas promises to

uted Tuesday afternoon from the Jefferson,
