Special lo Enquirer-Sun.] Washington, Jnne 13.—In response to the authorized statement omenating from the Alabama delegation, headod by Mar shal Turner, the following authorized contradiotion comes from the Parsons delegation interviewing tho Preaident on Monday last. Tho President reoognizod the faot that the so-oalled Mayor commit tee had remained in rebellion to the su premo national authority of tho party as sembled in Convention in Cincinnati even after the delegation of Gov. Bmith had been admitted and tbo tioket for Presi dent and Vioo President had been nomi nated, and tho further faot that the said bogus “Mayor committee did presistent- ly continue its rebellion" to the properly oonBtitnted national authority, after this final deoision oontered against it by refus ing to surrender its pretentions upon the return of the said delegation to the Cin cinnati Convention. The President fonnd no diffionlty in reo ognizing on Monday ihe delegation head ed by Gov. Parsons,whose oredontialssho' ed that thoy were in line with the Smith Exoontive Committee rooognized »t Oin einnati. The President intimidated most significantly that his recent appointments had reoognizod tho oommittee of whioh Gov. Smith is Chairman, as bis proper Bepnblioan advisers, and asked the Par sons' delegation . if they were not in line with that organization 'and did not rogard those appointments sotisfaeto./. The reply was that the appointment of Wiokersham as postmaster end Smith as Oolleotor of Customs at Mobile, were not only satisfactory to tho delegation, bot to the people of tho State. The President said he was glad to hear it, and would only remove for oaoee in oases properly called lo hie attention. He wished to extend to the people of Ale Hereafter the President Elected Must bo Inaugurated. New York, Jane 13.—Mr. Hendricks, having returned thanks for the honor done him, alluded to the Presidential elootion, and said the reanlt aa declared in Louisiana, and in Florida, and at Wash- ington, is not and aannot be made satis - factory to the conotry for tho obvious reasons that it was not true. Great and sincere people will rest their final judg ment only upon trntb, and never upon frauds, successful through technicality. Even should the Preaident and his Cabi net adopt a part or whole of the polioies and purposes for which the Democratic party has been contending for years, and whioh beoamo so distinctly defined last yoar, oven then they eannot remove or quiet the pnblio discontent. The Demo crats will make no faotions opposition, nor will they seek to embarrass tho de facto administration, but will sustain it in what ia right, because it is right, and tor tbo welfare of the oonntry, end not at all be- oause of any fealty to a party that stands defeated and oondemned by tbo peoplo. The people eannot allow ths selection of their Chief Magistrate to bocoine a thing of ohanoe, or of sharp praotioo. Tho “frnnd first triumphant in Amerioan history" must bo assigned to its proper plaoo among the orimes against popular government, and made so odions that no party will dare to attempt its repetition lie who is olected Preaident must bo in augurated. Until that is settled and made sure, no Demoorat oan be sedaood from his devotion and allcginnce in any way, not by aUnremonts of oifioo, nor evSh by the strong appeal in tho aban donment by theAdminiatration of vioiouH principles and dangerous polioies, and tho adoption of better dootrines and just measures. Democrats will not entrust thoir most ohorished principles to the keeping of a power whioh is attained by vioious and oorrnpt moans. They will rather continue their faith in the right of the majority to rale in acoordanoe with Constitutional provisions. All Demoorats rejoice with unbounded joy that free ltepublioan governments are onao more allowed to tho States of Sonth Carolina and Louisiana. They rejoiae ia the good fraits that mast follow. They know that peaoe and good order will pre vail, that oapital will bo made seonro and labor safo, contented and happy; that on terprise will revive, and the ornol har dens of the Government and pnblio oor- raption will bo lifted from the shoulders of labor, and that production willinorease and lands advance in prioe; bat thoy know that, in the language of Gov Mor ton, it had booomo “inevitable." Good government in the States was not a free will offering upon the altars of the country. For years, the Domoorats have oontonded in Congress and boforo the peoplo for free Hepublioan States throaghoat the Sonth, and finally it be oame “inevitable," beoauso right and truth were too strong to be longer sup. In this Democrats find a reason to stand more firmly with their party out of power, with no patronago to disponso and no money to distribnte. Animated by the Bpirit of onr institutions and inspired by tho sentiment of the right of looal self- government as inhereut in the poople, the Democratic party daring the past ten years has restored one Btato after another, anti! now, the tread of soldiers is hoard in no legislative ball; bnt in evory State the people are governed by laws of thoir own enacting and by offioors of their own choosing. Mr. Iiondrioks oonolnded with tho doo. laration that we had no sectional senti inont, no Eastern or Western polloie The East and tho West and the South were one. A wise and jnst polioy would aliko promote the prosperity of oaob. ALABAMA. BAINS, CBOPS ANP JULY INTI :E8T.

A tall, lithe young man, with aandy hair and whiskers npon which the morn ing snnligbt rested as if it had fonnd itB home, sat musing in a lofty npartuiant. His low oollar, negligently half ImUonod beneath tbe chin, revealod a throat of dazzling whiteness—a throat long, arohod, and flexible like a swan's. Tho sandy hair, brushed strait baok from tho tora- <les, half bid tho rare beauty of his ears. !n tho prominont eyes of the alendor and sandy young man thero shone a tender light. Abont tho oornors of bis soloiun yet shrewd month, Experience had writ- ton its mysterious autograph iu charac ters intelligible to tho veriest fool. Bnoh •as W. K. Rogers, the private secretary of Mr. Hayes. “My dream is realizod,” ho remarked aloud, rising from his luxurious chair and paolng the room with nn almost feline graoo of movement. “Not yot 40 years of nge, I find myself nn important, perhaps the most important, faotor in the admin istration of nationnl affairs. Though not President myself, I diotnto tho polioy of the President, so fsr as the Executive cor respondence is conaernod. I write his speochos, compose his lotterR. I bring to the dull routino of Executive duties tbe rainbow charms of sontinient, of poetry, of losthetio culohnw.” A black and bitter look now clouded his nlabaBter brow. The privato seorotn- ry suddenly remembered that thero was one member of tho Cnbiuot who misun derstood, snnbbod, and triad to crush him. He remembered that only yester day, whon ho had vontnrod to suggest to Mr. Evnrts that his dispatoh to the Do minion Government in regard to the tar iff on ompty lobster onus lacked that ideal grnan of diotion whioh only true pootio insight oan lond to the prodnotB of tho brain, tho Beoretary of Btato lmd re garded him with a atony str.ro. “I shall not forgot tho blank and stu pid look he gavo me,” oontinned W.

A negro entered with an armful of pa- pore. “Hia Excellonoy wishes do docu ments wrote out in good English—proper ty ’sproHRod,” ho said. “IIo trusts mo, loans upon me," said W. K. ltogors, eagorly. Ho would novor send Important matters liko those to Everts. Do yon see that pot of ink, poor African?

Yonr heart friend, W. K.

Could Evnrts write snoh a letter ?" Tlie next memorandum waa this: “Ask Topshelter .t Co., Pennsylvania avenue, for a summer ctraw hat for Webb (dead- hoaii)." “Thoughtful Mr. Hayes I" ejaculated the privato secretary. “Here the Presi dent is lost iu tho parent. Could any hatter refuso bo touching a roqneat? Bat Webb's hat oan go over.” Tho face of W. K. Rogers waa again oloiuled ns he road the last item on the list. “Invite Mr. Evarts to dinner to morrow night. Inform him that Mrs. llsyos will bo in Norfolk.” The privateseoretary sat long in thought. “ ‘Evnrts to dinner,’ ” he said at lost. “That means humiliation, possibly insnlta for me. Ho protends to ignore my pre sence. Ho outs mo short when I attempt to tako part in the conversation. Ho tries in every wny to crush me. ‘Mrs. Hayes wil be in Norfolk.’ 'Flint menus claret, porhaps champagne.
