in great state of dread that they will be
suspected of the authorship of the attack
on Buckley in the Herald of this city ON
SUNDAY last Two of them have been max

written the article, and one Of these gen

gentlemen to accompany him to Notary

WASHINGTON, April 2Sth-AccOrding to
appointment made yesterday, Cross and
Daggett called on the President this even
| ing, and had an interview OF over an hour.
| They have little to say regarding what
| transpired, but express themselves as well
satisfied with the result of their visit. From
| a gentleman to whom they talked after
! their return from the White House, it is
| learned that they were questioned very
closely by the President regarding matters
| in California, and that the legal aspects OF
| the railroad question there were thoroughly
| discussed, and the history of the Stockton
| Convention was gone over. The President,
| it is said. asked their opinion on several
matters connected with the fight in the
party, of which they thought him Ignorant.
| They had a longer interview with the Pres
| ident than has as yet been accorded TO any
| Californian.

turned to this city this morning and had a

engagements have been made in keiley's
case cannot be learned, as all those sup
posed to know about the matter refuse to

ton was not accepted until to-day. To an
urgent request of the President that he
withdraw his declination, Lawton replied
