MCDOX.VI.D DEFIANT, RFXYINH ON OIiANT; BRISTOW FIRM, Bl’T A 1.1T11.K OOMPHO- M.SING. From th St. Louia Bepnpliean.] * * As has been stated, McDon ald demanded that Bristow be re moved, and that to himself be assign ed the duty of investigating suspi cious affairs in this district. Grant exclaimed that to remove Bristow at that time would be unwise, us lie was in the midst of a general investi gation, and ids removal would be construed into an attempt to prevent the discovery of frauds. Bo failing here, McDonald went directly to Bristow, determined on an extremely hold course to accomplish his end. The following is the substance of i t tint strange eonversatisn : ''Mr. Bristow, I come here, to make i a compromise with you. 1 want to j tell you tlmt I know exactly what | von are doing and what you intend 1 io do. “And what then?” “Well, I have been to see the Pres- j Ident. and have tried to induce hint | to remove you, but he shows some hesitation, ami hence I come, us I ! •said, to compromise. Do you know, j Mr. Bristow, that you have under-1 taken ti.n immense job?” “Possibly I have; Imt I intend to ! accomplish it.” “1 perfectly understand your pur- j pose, Mr. Bristow, l icit, you arc j trimming your sails for the White! lloase is very evident; but it will pay you to be somewhat cautious. J want j to know if you intend to indict the folks out in my district?” “I certainly do attend to indict all against whom 1 have evidence of guilt, from tlte highest official to the j lowest.” “Am I to understand, then, that | you intend to indict me?” “l'ou should so understand if there i exists any evidence to connect you! with the frauds.” “Well, all I have to say is, that I’d j just like to see you do it. Mr. Bris tow, you cannot bo ignorant of the| purposes for which the money lias j been raised in my district, and yet 1 the course indicated by you would! seem to show that you are. Don’t! you know that in 1872 the money was | raised and used for party purposes?” | “This is the first time I ever heard such tin intimation.” “Well, I now warn you that that is a fact. The money which has lately! been raised, you cannot, help know j ing, was raised for the purpose of consolidating the two Hepubltcnn pa-! pors in St. Louis, the Globe and Dem ocrat.” “1 never heard of It before.” “Well, it is nevertheless true. The K 'publican party can never hope to accomplish anything in Missouri while there arc two such factions as theso papers create. Why, I atn as tonished t hat you have not heard that j McKee aad Houser have been nego-1 Gating with Fislthack for a eonsoli-1 dafioit. Fislthack has named lus i price, and knows where the money is j coming from. Now if we can just; effe •! this consolidation, this will j unite the party in Missouri and we j can carry the State. This will make a sure th ing for either Grant or your- ; self next time, and if we agree, f am ; witling to give you my support. My j proposition is this: 1 will agree to I let. by-go ties be by-goucs, ami not to I prosecute tlte baiunoo.” “Mr. McDonald, I have determined that if t can sceni c evidence against you, or anybody else in your district,! you or he must go to the penitent in- | rv.” “1 go to the .penitentiary? You’ll ] have a nice time if you try that game, j lint what about my proposition? Will you accept it?” Sc “I have only this to say : You leave with me your resignation, and then i go to tin; ‘President and state your I ease; if he w willing to pardon you and give a general amnesty to your companions in trouble, I shall throw j nothing in the way.” “That is not enough. I want some- j thing stronger than that to induce trie . to take such a course.” •’Mr. McDonald, I have no pardon- j ing power. That rests solely with the President. Hence I can do noth-1 ing more than assure you that if he chooses to pardon you I will do noth- 1 ing to prevent it.” “But T want, you to recommend ; that course to the President.” “I will agree to talk with the Pres ident about it.” This was the most McDonald could make, so he wrote his resignation ; and left. McDonald, it is asserted, went to the President and told the story of his guilt, and the scene was an ex- j citing one. Grant did not at once give anv answer to McDonald's plea j for pardon. lie called on Bristow,! and declared that now, for the first; time, did he believe that McDonald could be guilty of such a thing, ilitli-: erto he bad always considered him a model of integrity. . ; While Grant was hesitating and j McDonald was in terrible suspense, Bristow’s work was going on, and suddenly the seizures came. Then | came that remarkable dispatch from Green Bay declaring that Bristow had agreed with McDonald to “let up” on the Bing if his claims to the next. Presidency were recognized and pushed forward. * That dispatch was unquestionably sent by McDonald, ! and the above explains it fully. (told Weather North. Concord, N.

Chicago, Dec. 21. — Judge Chester Krum, of St. Louis, who is retained as one of General Babcock’s coun sel, arrived at Chicago Sunday niorn itg. A reporter learned from that lie had come to see General Babcock, to consult with him and arrange for tes timony in behalf of the General in the approaching trial. The object of his visit was satisfactorily accom plished at an interview between JudgeKrutn and his client yesterday, and the latter left for Washington last night, where he will probably remain until about the iith of Janu ary, leaving for St. Louis at that time in order to bo present at his trial, which comes off on the 11th prox.

New York, Dec. 21. -The Herald of this morning publishes the text of tlte constitution of the order of the ; American Union, a secret order, j which it alleges has been used for; controlling elections in the interest! of President Grant’s administration. It alleges that President Grant, Post master General Jewell and ex-Speak er Blaine are members of the order, besides many others wito are promi nent in polities, It also assorts that tlte order is in the hands of Grant and Blaine and has for its aim a deci ded and persistent social and polit ical war upon all Roman Catholics in this country. It opposes the ex tension of the Church of Rome and prevents Catholic citizens from hold ing office, arid works generally in fa vor of re-electirig President Grant, who will be run by the order for a third term. Most of the members of the postoffice and Custom houses are said to be members of the order. President Grant and ex-Speaker Blaine were initiated privately. The Herald claims that the order is a stu pendous political organization. The constitution of the order opposes the division of school funds, pledges the members to sustain a Republican form of Government, and to repel the aggressions of Romanism. The order was organized in 1867 with a viewed purpose of disfranchising the Roman Catholics. The National Government is called the “Senate,” while the State organs are styled “Legislatures,” and the latter are di vided into subordinate councils. mi: :nti:\niai, i.\tritsi<.
