Frum tli. 1 N. Y. World ] Columbus, 0., July 10.—“ Ruthy, | dear,” said Mrs. Hayes tiiis mom-1 lug to her husband at breakfast, as I she unfolded the Ohio State Journal, | wtiiidi, next to to Tin; Woihl, is her j favorite newspaper; ‘‘so your letter of acceptance hus come out?” “Has it, my love?” replied the Gov- j ern'or; "I understood tliat it would hardly be ready before Tuesday ! night.” Mrs. Hayes read in silence for a few moments; then, with a wild surprise, us it appeared to your correspondent, who had with true | journalistic, instinet. concealed him-!

What 1 wrote was ‘most of the resolutions are in ac cord with my views,’ and I suppose the printers made a mistake.” There was silence, broken by the munching of toast, till the tea-pot was set down with a violence that made the table crockery jump. Then Alts. Hayes’s low, ilute-like tones, lull or melody as the murmur of a liiddeu brook, were beard. "Rutherford, you say ; ‘lf elected, I shall conduct iheadministration of | the Government upon these priuci j pies, and all the constitutional pow- j ers vested in the Executive will be i employed to establish this reform. I Gan yon sit in that, chair, and look j me in the face after writing that?

I shall make a point of! telling Simon that he put that too j strong. But these letters are only ( matters of form ; they don’t mean | anything.” "O, they don’t, don’t they?” re-j plied Alts. Hayes, with, as the re porter inferred,¥. sarcastic smile. "I j suppose, Air. Hayes, this doesn't mean anything either, where you come out out for a single President ial term? I suppose, Mr. Hayes, you didn’t mean anything when you told Mr. Crombieto try and find a good I tenant for the house for eight, years j from next March? I suppose you j didn’t mean anything when you ran ; three times for Governor and twice! for Congress? | “But.

I told them beforehand, ‘Write what you please and sign my name to it, but don’t say anything decided.’ ” There was silence for some time, [ until Mrs. Hayes remarked : •‘Rutherford Birchard Hayes, didn’t you say lust year that this school question was all poppycock and that the General Government had about as much business to pass an amendment about the school fund as it had to declare that vou shouldn’t eat beans on Monday. Aud look at what you say here.” "Madam.” was the reply of the Governor, in a tone full of suppressed passion, “you will not understand me, I am just as responsible for that and and letter there Mrs. Hayes put her tiny, snowy, perfectly-moulded lingers to her sheil-like, pink tipped ears, ornamented with simple but priceless solitaire diamond earrings) asl am for the Ten Commandments!

But I want you to understand, madam, that, as sure as Nebuchadnezzar ate blue’ grass, if lam pusillanimous I don’t want to be told so by you in my own—that is, in the State of Ohio’s own house.

The space un der a round breakfast table set for two is somewhat circumscribed, and in shifting my position I had inad vertently trodden on the tiny but ex quisitely shaped foot of Airs. Hayes!

The Governor hauled me out by the collar. "Who are you?” “A reporter.” “Did you hear what, 1 said? "Every word of it.” “A! y dear fellow,” said the Govern or, shaking me bv hand, "the press is the palladium of our liberties, aud the Archimedean lever that moves the world. 1 knew you were there all the time, aud Mrs. Hayes aud I had all that conversation to fool you. A fraternal spirit of harmony should pervade you and me at the begin ning of the second century of our ex istence as a natiou, that we may make it permanent as an era of good feeling, and a period of progress, prosperity and happiness.

COLUMBUS, GA., TUESDAY, JULY 18, 187(1. A NTRANttE hryelation. A WHITE HOUSE PLOT TO ABDUCT A WIT NESS— NEW LIGHT UPON THE DISMIS SAL OF MB. YAHYAN. From the Now York Sun. July 10th.J Mr. H. T. Yaryan, special agent of the Treasury Department, was re cently removed from office against the wishes and judgment of his su periors iu the Department, at. the in stance of the President of the United States. • What, was the cuuse of the remo val of Mr. Yaryan? It has been pub lished, and stands unoontradioted, that he was removed because ho him self had previously procured the removal of another revenue officer named W. B. Moore, a friend and fa vorite of Geu. Grant. This explana tion of the removal of Mr. Yaryan universally accepted as true. Under these circumstances it becomes of in terest to inquire what manner of man is this W. B. Moore, aud what ser vice he has rendered to so endear himself to the President of the Uni ted States. The authentic doou meats which we lay before our read ers this morning, throw a Hood of light upon this subject, and fully answer this pertinent inquiry. In the year 1871, when the conduct of the President of the United States in attempting to acquire San Domin go was undergoing investigation by Congress, the President and his friends were apprehensive of very damaging testimony from one Ray- Niiond H. Perry, a citizen of Rhode Island. It was deemed important to get this witness out of the way. Chutges of various crimes were al leged as having been preferred against him in Texas, aud on this al legation a requisition from the Gov ernor of that State was obtained for his rendition. Fearing that this re quisition might not be complied with, or that a writ of habeas corpus might rescue Perry from the clutches of the officers, a further plan was con cocted to seize him and forcibly ab duct him from the State of Ilhode Island -to kidnap him in other words —and put him out of the way of testi fying. W. B. Moore, aided by Orville 13. Babcock,planned this scheme and undertook to carry it into execution. The letters fully establish these start ling facts, The first of these documents is a note, written at the executive man sion, bearing date the 18th of Febru ary, 1871, signed by Orville E. Bab cock, the confidential secretary of the l’resdont, introducing \V. B. Moore to Col. Whitley, Chief of the Treasury Secret Service. In this note Babcock says to Whitley: "Moore wishes your assistance in a matter of interest to us all.” The “matter of interest to us nil,” as fully appears by the subsequent cor respondence of Moore himself, turns out to he the kidnapping and forcible abduction of a citizen to prevent his testifying against the President. The “all” to whom it was of interest of course included the President. The second document, bearing the same date with the first, is a letter from Moore to Whitley, inclosing Babcock’s note ofjint.roduction, say ing that he is iu pursuit of Perry, and assigning as a reason that the integrity of the President is in ques tion through what he calls Perry’s misrepresentations. The third document is another let ter from Moore to Whitley, propos ing that papers be “carefully detach ed” from one requisition and attach ed to another, and recommending “to avoid interference with writs of habe ar corpus ” that the arrest be made in Washington rather than in lthode Island. The fourth document, is a letter from Moore to Whitley, acknowledg ing a telegram from Whitley, and stating that as soon as it was receiv ed the writer, Moore, “went to the Executive Mansion” to ascertain if a new requisition could be obtained. This letter contains the following precious instruction as to the course to be adopted by the Chief of the Se cret Service towards a citizen of this free Republic: “If we cannot arrest and hold, make arrest anyhow and take the chances.” The fifth document is a fourth let ter from Moore to Whitley, from which it appears that a part of the scheme was to decoy Perry into the District of Columbia, where, as had been stated in a previous letter, they had no fear of habeas corpus. The sixth document is a letter from Nettleship, ft deputy of Whitley, to Whitley. Nettleship had been sent on to seize Perry and force him away, but he became alarmed and conclud ed that I’orry was “nobody’s fool.” We thus find that the President of the United States has removed a faithful public officer to reward a person for attempting to kidnap a citizen who threatened to testify be fore a committee of Congress against the President. The Itelknaii Trial. Special to the World.) Washington, July 11.-The Senate Chamber was the scene of some sharp sparring to-day between Manager MacMahon and Matt Carpenter, in which the latter came off second best. All through the examination Carpenter has been flippant almost to impudence in manner, and when MacMahon lirst appeared as his op ponent in the examination he affect ed an air of contempt for the quiet looking, almost unknown man pit ted against him. To-day the collo quial cross-lire got so sharp that the Senate interfered. Marsh’s cross examination only strengthened his evidence, aud the universal feeling is that Belknap’s guilt is conclusively proven. His impeachment, however, is quite another question. Doubt | less almost, if not quite, the entire I Senate would vote him “guilty’ ! of the charges, but Jones, of Florida, ! Eaton, Logan and probably some of ! the others who believe that the Sen ate has no jurisdiction, will decline to vote od the final question of im peachment, and this may affect the result of that vote so rniufti that Bel knap will fail of what is conceded to be his deserts. The examination to-day bought out the fact that Bel knap was himself alone responsible for the sale or the Fort Sill post, and some who have believed he was shielding his dead wife are corres pondingly ashamed of him now. Belknap’s demeanor is very pecu liar. He appears to feel that he has done nothing out of the way, and in fact acts as though the trial were a grand farce, got up as a practical joke on himself He watches Carpen ter most of the time, laughs univer sally at his sallies of cheap wit and very often suggests a question or a point.

Washinoon, July 15, —The Senate passed a bill extending the time of the Court of Alabama claims, with an amendment extending the time to the next session of Congress. The River Harbor bill was then taken up. The amendments of the committee increasing amounts were as yesterday adopted, and those striking out appropriations with one or two exceptions, rejected. An amendment by Mr. Norwood, appropriating SIO,OOO for the im provement of the harbor of Bruns wick, Ga., was adopted. Mr. Edmunds proposed an amend ment striking out all after the enact ing clause, and ipseiT a proposition appropHatfng four hundred thous and dollars for the repairs, extension, preservation and construction of riv er and harbor improvements. This sum to be expended under the direc tion of the Secretary of War, and a report of expenditures under this act to be reported to Congress at its next session. Mr. Ferry said he saw that gentle men who had voted for the amend ments were not now in favor of the bill. In view of the disposition to load down the bill he proposed that the friends unite in rejecting the amendment to the House bill, uud pass the bill precisely as it came from the House, then if rejected by the President they would have a bill. Mr. Thurman moved to recommit the bill to the committee with in structions to cut down the appropri ations to a sum not exceeding $4,000,- 000. The Senate then adjourned with out action. HOUSE. The House passed bills to pay the widow of Gen. Custer SSO per month during her widowhood, and to pay ttio father and mother of Gen. Custer SSO per month. The House went into Committee of the Whole on the Texas border bill, and Mr, Regan resumed his remarks. Mr. Cox, of New York, advocated the bill as reported, on the ground of an absolute necessity for the protec tion of American citizens on the border. MONDAY, JULY UTIL SENATE. Mr. Wright introduced a bill to amend section, 2JJ3J, of the Revised Statutes, so as to allow the Secretary of the Treasury to refund tho tonnage tax iu certain cases—referred. Sir. Caperton called up the bill for the relief of Chas. C. Campbell, of Washington county, Va. Sir. Edmunds opposed the bill, on the ground that it. would open the door to a class of claims now barred by the statute of limitation. Pending the discussion the morn ing hour expired. The Senate proceeded, sitting as a court, with the impeachment trial. Sir. White submitted an ordor, which was agreed to, adjourning the court to Wednesday at 12 o’clock, when the witness Evans will be hero. Legislative business was then re sumed. Sir. Logan moved to make the bounty bill the special order for 1 o’clock to-morrow. Disagreed to— yeas 28, nays 20—two thirds not vot ing in the affirmative. The consideration of the River and Harber bill was resumed, the pend ing question being the motion of Mr. Thurman to recommit with in structions to reduce the aggregate amount to a sum not exceeding four million dollars.

Piper, California, to appoint a com mittee to act with a like committee of the Senate to ascertain the effect, Stc., of Chinese immigration, and to l report at the next session of Cou j gross, and which came over from Monday last us unfinished business. The resolution was adopted—yeas 155, nays 14. Mr. Tucker, of Virginia, moved to take up and pass the bill relieving tho political disabilities of G. T. Beauregard—passed. Mr. MoDougall, of New York, offered a bill to pay pensions to the heirsof all officers, non-commissioned officers and privates who were in Gen. Custer’s command and were killed in the late Indian light. The House re fused to pass the bill, tho objection being that it had not been considered by tlie Pension committee. Mr. Springer, of Illinois, moved to suspend the rules and pass a resolu tion directing the committee on Bank ing and Currency to report a bill to morrow for the repeal of the resump tion act, the same to be subject to discussion and amendment.

Morgan of Mis souri, Wilshire of Arkansas, and Phil lips of Kansas, were appointed the House conferees. Mr. Vance, of Ohio, obtained the floor to offer a resolut ion in relation to the resumption act, when Mr. Eden, of Illinois, and others moved to adjourn, and the House refused to adjourn by a tie vote of 99 to 99. Mr. Vance then offered his resolu tion, directing the Committee n Banking and Currency to report a bill for the repeal of the specie re sumption act after the reading of tlie journal to-morrow. Pending a vote on the resolution, another motion was made to adjourn, and it was agreed to by a vote of 100 to 90, and the House, at 3:45 p. m., adjourned. WASHINGTON NEWS. Washington, July 17.—A telegram has been received here from Evans, Marsh’s partner in the Fort Sill tra dership, whose testimony is wanted in the Belknap impeachment trial. He has been detained by floods on the lines of Western railroads, but will reach here to-morrow. The im peachment, trial will 1)0 renewed on Wednesday. The Sub-Committee on Elections has made a report in the contest of Platt, vs. Goode, of the Second Vir ginia District. The report was in fa vor of Goode, Democrat, the sitting member. The full committee refused to sustain the Sub-Committee— Messrs. House and Thompson, Dem ocrats, voting in favor of Platt. This gives Mr. Platt the majority report in his favor. Tho testimony taken by the Senate special committee on the Mississippi outrages makes fifteen hundred pages. A few witnesses yet remain to be examined in Washington. The majority report, by Senators Bout weil, McMillen and Cameron, will claim that outrages have been com mitted on negroes, and that many of them have been causelessly slaugh tered ; While tlie minority report, by Messrs. Bayard and McDonald, will claim that the outrages were caused by the real-administration of the State Government. Mr. Holman states that tlie Legis lative conference is very likely to come to an agreement upon the basis of propositions made two or three weeks ago by Mr. Foster; that the proposition in substance was fifty dollars reduction annually, and is to be taken from the salaries of all sec ond and third-class clerks, and one hundred dollars annually'from the salaries of fourth-class clerks. In compromise as to the number of clerks to be reduced the House origi nally intended a reduction of twelve hundred, but will consent, to six hundred. The salaries of chiefs of the divis ion in the Executive Department and of a number of other officers are to be restored to what they were before the passage of the Kellogg bill reor ganizing tho Treasury Department in the last Congress. Several other matters of minute detail comprehend the proposed com promise. IliiTKie* ami AVaxnnx. I am offering the remainder of my stock of open Baggies and Studebaker Wagons, cheaper than over.

New York, July 14.—Tammany Hall General Committee met last night, Augustus Schell presiding, and a lively time ensued. Resolutions were read endorsing the nomination of Tilden and Hen dricks as most fitting and proper, and the only means of saving the country. An amendment was offered, thaj the committee have unabated confi dence in John Kelley and are confi dent of marching to victory under his leadership. This provoked an ex cited discussion. Peter B. llney, A. B. Caldwell and others said the amendment was out of place and should be referred to the committee on organization. Edward Cooper denounced John Kelly’s action at St. Louis, iu fight ing and abusing Tilden, and said the Democratic party never authorized him to do so. Great confusion followed, amid shouts and shrieks of “Sit down,” “Throw him out.” The resolutions were finally adopt ed, and Joint Kelly made a speech asking tiiat everything he forgotten oxeept the common enemy.

For instance, the Times this morning had a special dispatch from Perakiu, saying that there was no great battle between Osman Pacha aud the Servian Gener al, Tesehjanin, on Wednesday ; while a special dispatch from Vienna to the Telegraph says General Tesehja niu’s decisive defeat is confirmed,and Osman Pacha hus driven him across the river Tinisk, aud is advancing on to Servia.
