The NEW YORK SENAToBsHlP.-The
Senatorial fight has been transferred from
Albany to New York, and is very fierce. A
survey of the field last night showed that
on the whole Morton has gained and Evaris
has received bis first serious setback since
last Wednesday. The Evarts' men declare
that Morton's managers intended TO use
Sl500 in Albany to-day, and were pre-
pared to spend double that sum, if nscessa-
ry, in order to secure his election. On the
other hand, the Morton men charge the
Evarts workers with having wasted their
campaign funds. They say that 800, 600 was
raised among members of the Union League
Club for him, and that this money was
reckessly squandered during the three last
DAYS of last week at Albany.

A PURsER HEsIGNs.-When the steamer
Lady Of the Lake, OF which Joseph L. va
hanson was purser, reached her wharf III
Washington on Friday detectives were on
hand with warrant for Williamson, sworr
out by colored man named Cromwell, for
violation of the civil rights act. but Viii
Hanson was not to be found. Capt. Barker
stated that Williamson had been arrested
before on a similar charge and acquitted
because the offense was com united out OF
the jurisdiction of the court. He was then
warned, however, that if the ofense hac
been committed within the Jurisdiction OF
the court judgment would have been given
against him. Hearing Cromwell's charge
against him, Williamson became frightened,
resigned his position while in Norfolk and
started for parts unknown.
