Washington, D, C., May 28 —The results* ot the meeting of the New Yoik Democratic State Committee at Albany, X. Y. this week, are being discussed very freely at the Capitol, and it is generally agreed that ilk seeming endorsement by the commit tee of the nomination of the “oh ticket,” was occasioned by the desire on the part of both the Cleveland and Flower men that they were the special fiiends and advocates of Gov ernor Tilden. Roth factions beiieve that Mr. Tilden will not lie a candi date and each desires to fall heir to the votes lie cell transfer. It may be dearly stated that while the fraud of 1876 can never he forgotten, and thousands think it but just that Mr. Tilden should be placed in the Presi dential chair, each day now reduces the number of those who ask for a re nomination of the old ticket, as it be comes more and more apparent, that even if elected, Mr. Tilden could not perform the duties of the office, and the election of the old ticket would realiy mean the election of Hendricks to the Piesidency. Prominent Demo crats taking this view of the case fa vor the nomination by the convention of some younger, more active and progressive man. In fact, leading men in the party here are outspoken against the nomination of the old ticket, ;Aid assert that the statements made at the New York convention, that tlie South called for or demanded the nomination of Tilden and Hen dricks is entirely erroneous. The shrewdest men in the party here as sert that with Roswell P. Flower, a live, vigorous, eaergei in representative of true Democracy, an aggiessive can vass could be waged and some enthu siasm aroused. Said a prominent Democrat from South Carolina, “It is too late to run a campaign on sympathy or to light the wrongs of individuals. The cam paign must be run on principle and with men as standard bearers who have blood enough in them to cany out the great reforms necessary to bring the government back to its oiiginal purity. The rings, the cliques, the cormorants and monopo lists must be put down and the rights of the people restored.” It is likely that Mr. Hewitt’s tariff bill, or at least a portion thereof will be brought before the House this ses sion for consideration. The Ways and Means Committee have under con sulerat'oii that portion of the bill which explains the present tariff aw, and members of the committee state that they will go no farthei ; that is, that no consideration will be given to that part of Mr. Hewitt’s bill which relates to the reduction of the tariff. Members who had prepared speeches on the tariff question and who could not get an opportunity to deliver them, or obtain “permission to print” them in the Congressional Record will yet have an opportunity to spied theii wisdom on this branch of the science ot political economy befoie their con stituents. Washington has had its sensation his week in the disappearance of Geo. H. Levis, an alleged oil broker, who has been doing business in the build ing 629 F street, just below the office of the Coriespoudent's Union and Statistical Buieau. Lewis came from New Yoik about a j’ear since, and be ing of good appearance, a plausible talker, in fact an F. Ward sort of ■?. fellow, he impressed nearly all with whom he met and opened his oil spec ulations. He claimed to be with one Ha;ris of the Standaid Oil Company who unerringly gave him “tips’' on th 3 maiket, that he controlled 500, *■ 000 barrels on margins, and if oil went up he won, andgjf it went down he just raked ia the and so plausable was he, that Senatois,Mem bers of the House, Heads of Bureaus, Divisions and Clerks, male and fe male, almost ran after h>‘m to get him to invest their earnings. For a year lie carried on his game unsuspected but suddenly he disap,,eaied Iroui tin city, and now it is learned that all hir deali ms in oil existed only in his fei tile imagination. It is estimated tha the losses ot lii» dupes will amount t< about $300,01:0.

Rising Fawn, May 26 — I notice that Dr. Rnssey comes forward and attempt to answer my article, which in my judgment, he made a failure. He failed to answer any fact that my article contained. Doctor, yon pro pose to assert that 1 had charged Messrs. Pei kins and Allison with • being hypocritical Methodists. There is no man in Dade county who les teem any higher than John B. Perkins. He is honest and all right ; a good Christian, and so lives up to the re quirements. There is m> hypocrisy abi tit him. I would to God that all of Dade county was as good. Doctor, you and G. W. M. Tatum and J. A. Moreland, as officers of the Lodge, and 8. W. Hale, John B. Perkins and H. L. W. Allison, trustees of the Church, did agree for the compromise to he made between the Church and J.W. Blevins, executor, and you know it, and if you are as honest as you claim 1 ought to be, you will ac knowledge that it was agreed that it wa* better to make the compromise, and convert the second story into a church and school room until better arrangements could be made for the school. The above is the truth, and you know it, and you ought to be too high-minded to deny it. Just as I stated before, you, who are fortunate Jgpugli to he able to send vonr cliil- it*en to a side school, don’t appear to care for the laboring man who is too poor to dress and send his children to such schools. When we relinquish ed our claims to the school room it was understood by us that ample ar rangements were made for oui protec tion, as we had paid into the building more*libeiallv than we were able, and were assured by the Lodge and Church that our interest was protected in said compromise. But take it and go. .lust stick to the little side show, the ditcipline you mention and disregard the Bible and its teachings, and my word for it the devil is good for you. Now we say and believe there are tlmusands of good people who belong to the Methodist church ; and-we love good people, let them belong to what church they ntav, and we make no charge against them. But how is it that at this place a man can visit all kinds ot places—the barrooms, etc. —and then go to church ami pray in public ? Is snef the teachings of the little sideshow you refcilto when yon mention the little book | Discard all such teachings, and take the Bible and it will teach you to love your neigh bor as yourself, and by so doing you will be taught not to take advantage of the poor, who considered when they spent their low earnings that they were expende l for the good of their children. If Mr, Carnes did not as sume the responsibility of depriving us ot a place for a school, he is not to be held responsible. But where did the people you speak of get the au thority to diregard a solmn agree ment as an offer from the Lodge, or an agreement that was made prior to saying the school interest would be protected? I do not know what kind ot enimosity the gentleman was suffering when he replied to my ar ticle, but as he hails from a land where mules are the principal produc tion of tbe country, I am caused to believe it must have been the ani mosity of a mule. Xon can prepare a mile comfortable quarters ami feed • iin high, and when lie gets fat and legin.s to feel his keepiug, he is almost -me to want to kick you out of the muse that has been prepared for all be stock at your expense. At any ite this lias been the case in renard o the school room and church. But Mst as J expected, but not a single ct set forth in my article was an vered. Honest.

Charge.-:: General .e rant W ith fc n dorsing the Correctness ot th .Grant & Ward Coverment Contracts, Etc., Etc. New York, May 2>. —Jones D. Fish, late president of the Marine National Hank, was ure«icd last night on a warrant issued by United States Cotntnissioner Shields. Fish was arrested at Maytic Flats, Broad, way and Thir.y-ninth streets, where it is said he had been concealing him self. The warrant was issued upon an affidavit tirade by National Bank Examiner Scriba, who deposed that after a careful examination of the books of the Marine National Bank, he found that Fish had misappro priated funds belonging to the bank to the amount of $1,141,000. This was done between March 1 and May G - Shortly before 1 p. m., Janies D. Fish was brought to the Marshal’s office, where a short consultation took place. From there he was conducted to the United States Commissioner’s office, accompanied by his counsel. Fish seemed entirely self-possessed The Commissioner said to the pris oner: “Mr. Fish, you are charged of the United States law in wilfully misapplying for your own uses certain moneys belonging to a United States hank. This is a criminal charge. Do you appear by counsel?” Fish pointed to his counsel, who said, “We plead not guilty,” and then asked District Attorney Root what hail he wanted. Root replied that the Lawrence case was the near est case to this, and in that case the District Attoiney asked’ fjr $">0,000. Root would ask tor the same amount Fish’s counsel said his client had made over every dollar that he had for the benefit of the bank, and everybody knew that he not personally profited by any of the money he was charged misappropiating. The counsel thought that $15,000 or $20,000 would he ample security. Commissioner Shields said he was acquainted with tne facts in ihe case, and he would fix the hail at $130,000. Thereupon the prisoner was taken to the marshal’s office, v here he remained until his bondsmen were qualified. XIE GIVES BOND. Ti e bondsmen of James 1). Fish ap peared before Commissioner Shields, at 4 o’clock this afternoon and quali fied in the following amounts: Janies F. Waid, of Ward it Co’s Havana Steamship Company, $15,000, Francis C. Reed, lawyer, $15,000; David IDrsch, tobacconist. $15,000. Fish tlien took his departure, accompanie 1 by his fiienus. Before he left the building Fish was shown the statement published in one evening papers, purporting to be a denial by Ceu. Grant concerning the letters which Kish said the General had written to him. Fish said that lie did not believe Grant had denied having written the letters in question, as he (Fish) now had them in his possession; he would, however, ret use for tlie present to make them public, except as to their general scope, which lie had already disclosed. GEN. GRANT NON COMMUNITIVE. The reporters have been unable to get any authoiized statement ironi oren. Grant or his counsel, Clarence Seward, to whom he defers in the matter legerding the allegations made by President Fish of the M r ue Bank th it he had letters irom Gen. Grant a ssuring him that the government con tracteof Grant & Ward were gen nine. Interviews with triends ot Gen. Grant indicate very clearly, howevor, that they are convinced he will show in a day or two that Fish’s statements aie entirely false, or that they so mis represent and distort actual facts as to be woi th less.
