John Mathews was called and testified
that he had worked six or seven years

pure lard. The leaf lard was made
from the leaf only. The pure lard was
made from hogs head, hogs feet, rough
lard and white grease. There was a
little hair around the ears and nostrils
of the heads. The hoofs were not taken
from the feet. The white grease was
made out OF CUTS and paunches. 1t was

GEN. BADBAT'S STATEMENT.

Tie Controversy Regarding the Part lie
Took in Preparing Grants Memoirs.
NEW YoRK, March 20.-The Sun will
tomorrow publish Gen. Adam Badeau's
version OF the controversy which has
risen between himself and Gen. Grants
family in regard to the claim which
Gen, Radeau makes for compensation
for his services to Gen. Grant in the
preparation OF his personal Memoirs. "
The statement is addressed "To the
American Public" and fills several col
umns OF the Sun,
Gen, Badeau Ia severe in his stric-
lures on the course pursued by Col.
Fred Grant in the matter, He says that
Gen. Grant called him away from his
own literary work to assist, first In the
preparation OF magazine articles and
then in that Of the "Mcmoirs;' that
they thought this would occupy perhaps
three months, whereas IN faCl, il had oc-
pied seven months, when he retired
that Gen. Grant supposed he might
realize $4,000 to $4,000 from the work
and, Of his own notion, since its
publication would stop General Badeau
from realizing fully on his intended
Life OF Grant" he gave him (Badcau)
the already published contract to pay
him 5000 from the next $4,000; that
General Grant insisted on this matter
being kept secret; that when he re:
ceived his first installment OF $4,000, he
paid General Badeau $3.50, thus ratifying
the contract; that he (Badeau) finding
that the work was to be such re-
markable success, and realizing
that his own work, OIL which
he had spent sixteen years, would he
corrcspondingly injured, he wrote Gem
eral Grant suggesting new contract
that to this he received his letter OF dis
missal, all in the handwriting of Colonel
Fred Grant, except the signature. Gen
eral Badeau asserts that Colonel Grant,
whom il appeared that his father would
be unable 10 finish the work, suggested
that Badeau complete it and allowft to

General Badean goes on to say that love

Yesterdays issue Of the Pittsburgh
Dispatch contained the following about
the once talked OF consolidation OF the
two natural gus companies that supply
this vicinity: "The consolidation OF the
Wheeling Natural Gus Company and the
West Virginia Gas Company has been
declared off for time, ut least, and it
was stated by n prominent stakeholder
OF the Wheeling Company that it is not
likely to be ever consummated. The
principal rock which the negotiations
struck on was the objections raised by
the officers Of the West Virginia Com
pany. They realized that consolida'
ton would throw them out OF their po'
sitions, and they worked hard to keep
the companies apart.
"This was especially the case in regard
to the managing superintendent Of the
West Virginia Company. The Wheel
ing company, Us a condition OF the con-
solidation, demanded that its own man
agement be retained TO conduct both
COMPANIES in the event Of a consolida-
ton. The stockholders OF the other
concern, however, convinced that their
own management could not be sup
planted, objected to that plan, and the
negotiations were broken OIL"

HAS GIVEN UP THE idea.
No PapaI Nuncio Will be APP
pointed to America.
BISHOPS ADVISE AGAINST 1T.
An American Priest, However, VIII
be Appointed to Act as Inter.
modiary between the Pope
and the Episcopacy.

NEw YoRE, March 20.-It is asccr-
tanned on good authority that the idea
of appointing a papal Nuncio to this
country has been abandoned by the
Holy See. Such an appointment has
been often thought of, as the Holy See
believed it would expedite business be-
tween it and the American Bishops.
1t is thought that it would be help to
have on the ground some distinguished
theologian, a disinterested party, who
could dispose Of the small matters
which are constantly coming up and
which are an unnecessary additiontothe
work Of the already overburdened con-
gregation OF the Propaganda at Rome.
The important cases under this arrange
ment would still be left to the decision
Of the Holy See.
The American Bishops, however, to
whose suggestions Rome always pays
the greatest Difference, thought another
arrangement would be preferable. This
was to have some accomplished Ameri-
can priest, thoroughly conyersant with
this country, its hierarchy and clergy,
stationed ut Rome to act as intermediary
between the American Episcopacy and
the Pope. II the Rector OF the Ameri-
can College at Rome could perform this
function in addition to his regular work,
he would be the person most fitted by
position for the place. The delay that is
now sometimes inevitable in the settle
ment OF cases would be much shortened
by the presence OF such functionary.
This is the way in which the matter will
probably be finally adjusted, as it would
be satisfactory to both sides. The
United States is the only country which
has passed the missionary stage TO which
a Nuncio has not been appointed, and
this is taken as a significant sign Of the
great impression the American Bishops
have made in Rome, and how carefully
their opinions and feelings are consid-
cred.
The Nuncio has extensive jurisdiction
and his tribunal is n Court OF Appeal
from the ordinary ecclesiastical courts.
II a Nuncio were to be sent to this coun-
try he could not be accredited to the
government rs in the countries OF Eu.
rope, because the United States would
not recognize the Roman Church Gov
ernment as n political entity. Here his
function would be purely ecclesiastical.

authorship OF the work, which he refus-

of: His part in the work, he states as
follows:
"For months l spent four or five hours

book. When we were together we sat
at the same table and often rs soon as

General Grant had a very good power Of

with which he was familiar, or in which
he was interested and passages of his
were often felicitOus. These always

his simplicity and directness and even
ruggedness OF language, never to betray
my own share in the work. But the

yesterday had heen based upon what
seemed TO be an inference from the title
OF the bill.
Mr.. Blair said he had introduced the
bill in entire good faith. He understood
that in the one State OF North Carolina
there were 10000 ex-soldiers OF the
Confederacy who had lost limbs in the
service, and that very large number Of
them were in poor circumstances. 1t
seemed to him that II the Government
under this administration or under any
other administration gave appointments
to men who had been disloyal, prefer
ence should be given to those who had
served in the Confederate army and
were now disabled, other things being
equal.
The debate on Mr.. Blair's bill was con-
tinued up TO 2 o'clock, when, at his sug-
gestion, the bill went over till tomorrow
without action. Speeches were made
by Senators Plat, Hale, Berry, Blair,
Hoar, Riddleberger, Hampton, George,
Henderson, Daniel and Hawley. The
Southern Senators, while expressing the
kindliest feelings ior the generosity and
philanthrophy which had prompted the
introduction OF the bill, disclaimed all
desire on the part ofex-Coniederates for
the passage OF any such exceptional
measure, but thought that as matter
ofcourtesy and uniformity ofpractice, the
bill should be read the second time and
referred. The Northern Senators were
OF one accord in condemning the meas
ure us unwise and ill.considcred.
