The report details the work of the :ommission, and gives an account of tne pro¬ cess made In the enforcement of the laws igainst polygamy. The commission will rec¬ ommend that the same policy be continued, md express the opinion that it is now only a [uestiou of time when polygamy will become xtinct in the territory.

He be- ieZ*s.: he e.ay*'in practical civil service relorm. md though the present law may be defective n some respects, It ought to be maintained and improved. Mr. Bayne holds that the public service should be protected from partisanship ind should be conducted as nearly as possible jpon the same principles and methods that prevail In ordinary business affairs.

Via W» OF AN ABUT OFFICER.SECRETARY ENDIOOTT'S ORDER A GOOD ONE. Although Col. Gregory and Capt. Davis were relieved from duty as aides to Gen. Sheridan, on the 10th of this month, Gen. Sberidan has made no move towards filling their places. The officers mentioned are both here. Col. Gregory awaiting orders from the chief of engineers, and Capt. Davis having been granted permission to delay reporting to his regiment until the first of November. The course pursued by Gen. Sheridan in this matter is still a lively subject of comment In army circles. He, together with other general officers, were sorely grieved that they were compelled to give up personal aides whom they desired to keep with them, and their dissatisfaction is shown in their failure, with one exception.Gen. Hancock.to fill their places. An officer speaking to a Star reporter to^iav on this subject said: "This state of affairs shows more conclusively than anything else the ad- visabHity and the necessity of the order send¬ ing officers back to their regiments after four years special duty service. It shows one of two things, either that the personnel of our army has degenerated through carelessness or mismanagement to such an extent that it is impossible or difficult for general officers to find, among over two thousand officers, suitable suc¬ cessors to their aides, of whose services they have been deprived, or else these same officers have either failed to see or haveentirelv ignored the merit and taleut of other officers from among whom they can select their aides. In either event it was time tnere should be a change, both for the good of the officers and of the army Itself. Anybody who will take pains to look into the matter cannot fail to see that there are scores of young officers who are just a* full of talent as a nut is of meat, and to push them asideandkeep them there withoutglv. ing them an opportunity to show their worth is unfair, to say the least.'' Arrival of lodge Vincent. HE REPUDIATES THE ALLEGED NEWSPAPER INTERVIEWS WITH HIM.HE DENIES THAT HE PROMISED TO PROTECT REPRESENTATIVE SPKINGEK's INTERESTS. I Judge Vincent, recently removed by the President's order from the positiou of chief Justice of New Mexico, arrived in Washington this morning. A Star reporter called upon him at Welcker's and was very pleasantly received, but Judge Vincent begged to be excused from making any statement concern¬ ing his removal, or the defense he proposes to make. "It would," he said, "be manifestly improper for me to say anything about the matter before seeing my superior in office. I would be glad, however, it you would state, as coming from me, that everything printed pur¬ porting to be interviews with me has been fab¬ ricated from beginning to end. I have not had a word to say abont the case." Judge Vincent said that he intended to see the Attorney General and submit his sideof the case. He did not know how long he would be here. "It may take a week or a mont h," he said, with an air indicating a determination to have a hearing. His attention being called by the reporter to the published statement to the effect that prior to his appointment he (Vin¬ cent) promised to protect certain interests of Congressman Springer in New Mexico, the Judge said that was absurd. "I am not a tool," he added, "and even if I had been appointed for such a purpose, I certainly would not have been foolish enough to avow it." Judge Vincent is a young man. He does not look to be thirty years of age. He said to the reporter: "Though I am a young man, I've had a good deal of experience in public affairs." Congress to Decide. WHETHER ADMIRAL JOUETT WILL HAVE TO LOSE THE 8400 HE EXPENDED TO ENTERTAIN GOVERNMENT GUESTS. The accounting officers of the Treasury de¬ partment have consented to delay charging to his personal salary the amount expended by Admiral Jouett in entertaintng visitors to the Tenneseeeat the New Orleans exposition, ac¬ cording to the decision of the second controller, until the matter has been brought to the atten¬ tion of Congress. The amount in question Is only $400, but it is desired to have some defi¬ nite action taken which may serve as a prece¬ dent in the future. The Secretary of the Navy now has the matter in charge, and through him it will be brought to the attention of Con¬ gress. Admiral Jouett, when asked about it this morning, said he knew nothing on the sub¬ ject, as it was in the hands of the Secretary, but he was satisfied that Congress would*have something to say about it this winter. He added: "I have yet to find the man in the United States who is not opposed to the posi¬ tion in wiiicb naval officers are placed when brought into relations with naval representa¬ tives of foreign countries." Office Seekers Notified. THE PRESIDENT WILL NOT SEE APPLICANTS OR THEIR FRIENDS AFTER NOVEMBER 1ST. The President yesterday afternoon fssued the following executive order: "For nearly eight months a large share of the time of the President has been devoted to the hearing of applications for office and the deter¬ mination of appointments. Much of the time thus spent has undoubtedly subserved the pub¬ lic good; some of it has been sacrificed to the in¬ dulgence of people in their natural insistence upon useless interviews, and some of it has been unjustifiably wasted. The public welfare and a due regard for the claims of those whose interests in the govern¬ ment are entirely disconnected with office- holding Imperatively demand that in the fu¬ ture the time of the President should be differ¬ ently occupied, and he confidently expects that all good citizens will acquiesce in the propriety and reasonableness of the following plan adopted to that end: ' After the 1st day of November the President will decline to grant interviews to those seek¬ ing public positions or their advocates. On Mon¬ days, Wednesdays and Fridays during that month,from 10 toll o'clock in the morning, he will receive such other persons as call on strictly public business, and on the same days, at 1: JO in the afternoon, he will meet those who "?? ?£ desire to pay their respects. On all other days and times during that month he will receive only cabinet officers and heads of de¬ partments.'' .«o« Certafri* or Hill's Election.

The Senator will then accompany the governor to Albanv, where they speak Fri¬ day night, and on Saturday night they will ad- SKSf? ^ democratic meeting in Elm Ira, Gov. Hill's home. Senator Voorhees, in conversation with a jepwter to-day, expressed gratification at what he considered the greatly improving pros¬ pects ot his party in New York.

STANTON'S APPREHENSION THAT THE PRESI- BEST DB9IOKKD TO FORCIBLY EJECT HIM the police enlisted BT STANTON TO watch the XARIXE BARRACKS.STANTON'S INVISI¬ BLE BODY GUARD. Major A. a Richards, who was superintendent of police for a long Series ot years, and who oc¬ cupied that position at the time Andrew John¬ son was President, In speaking of the recent publications by Mr. Depew and Col. Burr in reference to Johnson and Gen. Grant, said yes¬ terday to a Star reporter that the discussion had brought some circumstances to his mind which he had never mentioned before. hen Johnson was President," said the major, "and it was generally known that there were differ¬ ences between the Secretary of War and the President, one morning I received a message from Secretary Stanton that be desired to see me, and I Immediately went to the W ar De¬ partment, The Secretary was at that time spending his entire time in the W ar Depart¬ ment building, taking his meals and lodging there. In fact, the department was then his home. When I reached the department I was at ouce admitted to his room, and he then in¬ formed me in a general way that trouble was ahead, and he had reason to believe that an at¬ tempt would be made by the marines from the garrison, on 8thstreet east, to seize the depart¬ ment building and forcibly d is posses him of it. The Secretary did not ask the protection of the police, nor that the force should take part in any contest which might take place, but he simply asked to be informed If the marines should march out of the garrison, and intimated that he would be prepared ior any such attack. The Secretary was not very communicative, but he led me to believe that there was a force somewhere which would have cometohjs as¬ sistance speedily bad there been occasion.' arrangements made by the police. "What arrangements did you make, majorf asked the reporter. "I arranged," answered the major, "with the lieutenant of the eighth precinct.I think it was Milstead.that any move at the barracks should be signaled at once. The officers, with¬ out knowing the Import of the signal which was to have been passed from one to another to headquarters, were posted in sight of each other. We had the Gamewell dial machines then to transmit messages between the stations and headquarters, but I was not certain that the message could be sent when necessity re¬ quired, as the machines sometimes got out of order, and I arranged for signaling from man to man should there be necessity. 1 do not suppose that any one at the department knew myousiness there outside of Mr. Stanton, and ain certain that n»neol my forcc knew what was going on, although some may have guessed "You have not stated how long this arrange¬ ment was continued," the reporter remarked. "My recollection now Is,' said the major, "that it was for two or three days and nights. I was expected to do nothing more than send Mr. Stanton word of my movement. Mr. Stan¬ ton said he wished to be apprised ot the first In¬ dication that there was to be a forcible attempt on the depart ment,and I was prepared to so ap- orise him. What would have been my course had the attempt been made I cannot say now, but I would have, to the best of my ability, used the force In attempting to preserve the peace at least." MR. STANTON'S MYSTERIOUS FORCE. "You are quite certain," asked the reporter, "that Mr. Stanton was prepared with force?" "Yes," answered the major; "he gave me to understand that by belngapprised of any move¬ ment against the department he would be pre¬ pared to meet It, but he did not disclose what the force was or give me any information rela¬ tive thereto. I understood, however, that It was a considerable force, perhaps a few thou¬ sand, but the Secretary's conversation with me was mostlv as to watching the barracks ana Kivlng him lhformation as to any movement from that quarter." . "Col. Burr," said the reporter, "speaks of a distinguished general ol the volunteer service being at the head ot the veterans." "Yes," said the major," but I cannot conjec¬ ture as to whom he refers to. I remember, however, that Mr. Stanton, ior some reason un- known to me, directed me to telegraph to a number of parties, mostly in Pennsylvania, and I am certain that several dispatches were sent, to Pittsburg. Perhaps Gen. Negley may have been one of the parties I telegraphed to, and be mav be the officer alluded to as having the command, but it has been so long ago. nearly twenty years.that I cannot remember with any certainty as to the names. The gen- eral tenor ot the dispatches was requesting in¬ vestigations to be made as to what was going on, and to team the temper of the people. The question then was as to who was on top; Congress and the Secretary of ^ ar, with perhaps one or two others of the cabinet, being on one side, and the President and the rest of the administration on the other. 1 he marines were at the garrison and navy yard, as well as some sailors, and the army had here but a handful of men.one or two companies or ordnance men at the arsenal. Knowing this, I was aware that Mr. Stanton must be expectiug aid outside of the regular army, and I had the Impression that the force he alluded to was some association. He was quite emphatic, however, that if force was used against iiiiu he would meet it with force, but he gave no fur¬ ther information as to the force. He was very reticent In his conversation with me about this time, and gave me no more iniormation than was necessary." . . .'What do you know," asked the reporter, "of troops arming in Maryland about that time? .'I cannot recall now that 1 learned ai _ thing," said tne major, "on that subject, but some of tne dispatches I sent for Mr. Stanton may have been to parties to ascertain what was occurrlug in that sUte. I cannot recall now what I learned from that state, if I did any¬ thing." STANTON AND WELLES. Last evening a gentleman who,in the days re¬ ferred to, was a close, Intimate friend of Mr. Stanton said, relerrlng to Col. Burr's story and Major Richards' statement: "It is more than likely all true, especially that as to the marines, lor Secretary Welles was very bitter towards Mr. Stanton and very friendly with Mr. John¬ son. In fact, he wanted Mr. Johnson almost before the rupture became known to oust Mr. Stanton. Yes, It would not have taken much to have Induced Mr. Welles to haveicalled out the marines and put Mr.Stanton and hlseflects in the street. A.sk any ol the older employes of the War and Navy departments, and they will tell you that there was no love between the War and Navy Secretaries about that time." Consternation Among OfHee Seeker*. THE PRESIDENT'S ORDER STIRS THEM CP. WHAT COL. T. A MONT SAYS.WHAT A CONGRESS¬ MAN SAYS. The President's Manifesto cutting off the office seekers from the White House has spread some¬ thing like consternation among those who are anxious to assume a "public trust." The order goes into effect on the first of November, and is Indefinite as to its duration. Col. Lamont Rays the rule may be relaxed a little when Congress meets, so as to admit Senators and Representa¬ tives, but the intention of the President is to withdraw from the annoyance permanently. In consequence of the order there was an immense throng of office seekers at the White House this morning, trying to get their work in before the time arrives when they are to be ex¬ cluded altogether. The order provoked consid¬ erable comment about the.hotel lobbies and other places where the politicians assemble, and the opinion generally expressed was that it was all right for the President toseclude him¬ self during the time that is necessary for him to prepare his message, but that if he contem¬ plated excluding office seekers permanently there would be trouble. "If he "thinks an edict will keep the office seekers away he Is very innocent," said Repre- sentative Walter R. Cox. "They won't mind the edict, and he will have the question of the offices before him all during his term. He can't avoid it; they will lay for him. They won't let him draw out of it." .. Many others expressed the opinion that the President would have a bard time trying to en- force the order. There is no doubt, however, that the President intends to have no more of the annoyance of the offices. He is going to devote his time to other matters, and will fight it out with the spoilsmen of his party on that ^ «o« The Prospect in Virginia. EX-SENATOR JOHNSTON predicts DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS. Ex-Senator Johnston, of Virginia, In talking to a Star reporter to-day, expressed himself as confident of a democratic victory in Virginia next Tuesday. He says that the registration shows gains for the democrats and that all other signs point to democratic success. Mr. Johnston says that Mahone's fight Is altogether for the legislature and is confined to the close legislative districts. There are fourteen of thefe districts, which are very close politically and in these the fight is being made. Upon these ooantles or legislative districts, in which there is not a margin of over lOO votes between the two contending parties, the oontroi ot the legis¬ lature depends. Ex-Senator Johnston added that all the democrats had to fear was indlffer- enoe growing out of over oonfidence, but this danger, be says, has been overcome and the party is thoroughly aroused. There are about 200 democratic voters in Virginia who reside in Washington, and arrangements have k"* made to have them all go / Delesrrams to The Star. 'HE VIRGINIA CAMPAIGN.

October 28..The current of lemocratic speculation as to next Tuesday's esult, aided more or lew by republican inoiina* Ion, continue!* to flow In the direction Uereto- are marked out In these dispatches. It l>oars 'ou toward the unnatural conclusion of M ine's leclsive defeat and, Mahone's mysterious vie¬ wy. "Mahone has out-rowed Wise, and, hav- ng passed him in the race, the candidate for ;overnor Is now getting the Senator's 'wash.' " 'he fact is that this current is without any »roper bead or source and the conclusion rithout a foundation of any account. Wise is lot getting the Senator's wash, and to-day the ;ubernatorlal ticket is, or should be, ahead of be legislative one. Underlying and enveloping all su«'h specula- Ion as that referred to will be fouud only the nere fear of a number of panic-struck demo- irats that Mahone can In some ingenious and audacious way contrive to get just the requisite lumber of votes in just the requisite number of ,he close districts to give him juxt the requisite najorlty on a Joint ballot of the two houses to *e-elect himself without ability or even desire ,o aid In the meantime his state ticket. Out of his "untold campaign wealth" he Is to nake an assemblyman wherever one is needed, *rith nobody on the side of the democratic .management"' to molest or interfere witb his slans, nor any "'untold campaign wealth" of theirs for Use in the emergencies of this "tight." Sow. the truth appears to l>e, from all the at¬ tainable testimony at hand, that the demo¬ cratic management has as mucli, It not more, money than the republicans: that they are as ready*to use it in the election of their candi- iates; that tliey are watching tlie «-l<»se districts with great auxiety; and, furthermore, there is the ini[>ortant but almost forgotten fact that lor many years this state ha> had a notorious legislative gerrymander, under operation of which it takes about oue and a half republican votes to count one in the election of a legisla¬ ture. This is conspicuously true in the black belt, where nearly two "republican" negroes are needed to make a voting power equaling Lhat of a single white democrat. Itisuotthe intention to startle anybody or make a case of any new outrage against the democratic party by the above statement, since "gerrymanders" In state-, republican as well as democratic, are known to be frequent, but it is intended to show the fallacy of what seems to be a popular idea that the republicans will carry the legislature and lose their candi¬ date for governor. Weil, if they carry the for¬ mer they certainly ought to elect the latter, for besides the fact of the "gerrymander," other disadvantages to the legislative, not siiared by the state ticket, might be pointed out to the readers of The STAB. In conclusion, It inay also be put down as a tact that Wise, both in the southwest and the valley, two former dern- acratic strongholds, will be found not weaker but stronger than bl* party. His distinguished democratic paternity and his o« n democratic antecedents will be strong cards for him In both those sections. Fully expecting for at least fouryears past to be the candidate of his party for governor, he has done a great deal of per¬ sonal electioneering as well as public campaign¬ ing In the southwest. He has a larger personal acquaintance, too, than any man of either party in the state. In his campaign two years igo forcongressman-at-large he made a tour of the entire state. Indeed for years past be has t>een almost constantly on the "stump," while In the present canvass be has traveled more miles and made more speeches than any candi¬ date for auv office in this state ever before at¬ tempted. All previous records of the kind are utterly eclipsed bv the performance of Mr. Wise. So after diligent inquiry The star cor¬ respondent Is unable to find any good ground m which to build a belief that the eud can be 3ther than the entire defeat of either the repub¬ licans or democrats. There will be no hall-way result. . ? & CONFLICT ANTICIPATED HOURLY. Dangerous Condition of Affair* on the Servian-Bulgarian Frontier, Special Cable Dispatch to The Evening Star.

BE AT LAST FILES H IS REPLY IN THE CONTEST OVEK THE CHICAGO MAYORALTY. Chicago, October 2S..A. C. Story, of Mayor Harrison's counsel, last evening filed the long delayed answer In the contested election case. The first point made in the answer In that the act of Incorporation declare* tluat the city coun¬ cil shall consist of the mayor and aldermen, and the same act declare* that the eouncll shall be judge of election and qualification of It* own members, which It would not be if the court were to determine who It elected. The point made in demurrer that neither of the slaters causing the suit wax a candidate for mayor la repealed. Next answer Is made to the applica¬ tion lor a it-count of the ballots, and then point* are made that there Is no statutory provlalon for the preservation of the ballots cast at an election for mayor; that the court has the right to order them counted If they have been pre¬ served; and thai they have, by reason of being handled or tampered with by otber person* than the city clerk or his deputy, or toe elec¬ tion Judpes, lost their value a* evidence. i>e- nial is then made that any illegal vote* were cast for Mayor Harrison, aud proof of the ail^ nation* that certain persons did so vote a* al¬ leged In the i>ettiton la demanded. The thirty days' limit and the fact thatJudge Smith Is not the contestant an; repeated. It I* uext set forth that the West Division street Car company has l.otMi men in it* employ,and that the company or managers iudueed them all by means ot threats to vote for Sidney smith. It Isset up that illegal votes were cast all over the city, permitted by republic.*!) judges- that the reneul examination of the sixth ward ballots showed evidence of the mayoralty vote having been tampered with; atid. In conclusion, that nl* de¬ clared majority over smith was only 451, but that if the votes were properly counted It would have been not less thau 10,000. The document is long and tedious.

ROTATION IN THE ABXT.Gen. Sheridan Has Met Yet Filled the

Vacancies on His Stair.

ViaW» OF AN ABUT OFFICER.SECRETARYENDIOOTT'S ORDER A GOOD ONE.

Although Col. Gregory and Capt. Davis wererelieved from duty as aides to Gen. Sheridan,on the 10th of this month, Gen. Sberidan hasmade no move towards filling their places. Theofficers mentioned are both here. Col. Gregoryawaiting orders from the chief of engineers, andCapt. Davis having been granted permission todelay reporting to his regiment until the firstof November. The course pursued by Gen.Sheridan in this matter is still a lively subjectofcomment In army circles. He, together withother general officers, were sorely grieved thatthey were compelled to give up personal aideswhom they desired to keep with them, andtheir dissatisfaction is shown in their failure,with one exception.Gen. Hancock.to fill theirplaces.An officer speaking to a Star reporter to^iav

on this subject said: "This state of affairs showsmore conclusively than anything else the ad-visabHity and the necessity of the order send¬ing officers back to their regiments after fouryears special duty service. It shows one oftwo things, either that the personnel of ourarmy has degenerated through carelessness ormismanagement to such an extent that it isimpossible or difficult for general officers to find,among over two thousand officers, suitable suc¬cessors to their aides, of whose services theyhave been deprived, or else these same officershave either failed to see or haveentirelv ignoredthe merit and taleut of other officers fromamong whom they can select their aides. Ineither event it was time tnere should be achange, both for the good of the officers and ofthe army Itself. Anybody who will take painsto look into the matter cannot fail to see thatthere are scores of young officers who are justa* full of talent as a nut is of meat, and to pushthem asideandkeep them there withoutglv.ing them an opportunity to show their worth isunfair, to say the least.''

Arrival of lodge Vincent.HE REPUDIATES THE ALLEGED NEWSPAPERINTERVIEWS WITH HIM.HE DENIES THATHE PROMISED TO PROTECT REPRESENTATIVESPKINGEK's INTERESTS. IJudge Vincent, recently removed by the

President's order from the positiou of chiefJustice of New Mexico, arrived in Washingtonthis morning. A Star reporter called uponhim at Welcker's and was very pleasantlyreceived, but Judge Vincent begged to beexcused from making any statement concern¬

ing his removal, or the defense he proposes tomake. "It would," he said, "be manifestlyimproper for me to say anything about thematter before seeing my superior in office. Iwould be glad, however, it you would state, ascoming from me, that everything printed pur¬porting to be interviews with me has been fab¬ricated from beginning to end. I have not hada word to say abont the case."Judge Vincent said that he intended to see

the Attorney General and submit his sideof thecase. He did not know how long he would behere. "It may take a week or a mont h," hesaid, with an air indicating a determination tohave a hearing. His attention being called bythe reporter to the published statement to theeffect that prior to his appointment he (Vin¬cent) promised to protect certain interests ofCongressman Springer in New Mexico, theJudge said that was absurd. "I am not a tool,"he added, "and even if I had been appointed forsuch a purpose, I certainly would not havebeen foolish enough to avow it."Judge Vincent is a young man. He does not

look to be thirty years of age. He said to thereporter: "Though I am a young man, I've hada good deal of experience in public affairs."

Congress to Decide.WHETHER ADMIRAL JOUETT WILL HAVE TOLOSE THE 8400 HE EXPENDED TO ENTERTAINGOVERNMENT GUESTS.The accounting officers of the Treasury de¬

partment have consented to delay charging tohis personal salary the amount expended byAdmiral Jouett in entertaintng visitors to theTenneseeeat the New Orleans exposition, ac¬

cording to the decision of the second controller,until the matter has been brought to the atten¬tion of Congress. The amount in question Isonly $400, but it is desired to have some defi¬nite action taken which may serve as a prece¬dent in the future. The Secretary of the Navynow has the matter in charge, and throughhim it will be brought to the attention of Con¬gress. Admiral Jouett, when asked about itthis morning, said he knew nothing on the sub¬ject, as it was in the hands of the Secretary, buthe was satisfied that Congress would*havesomething to say about it this winter. Headded: "I have yet to find the man in theUnited States who is not opposed to the posi¬tion in wiiicb naval officers are placed whenbrought into relations with naval representa¬tives of foreign countries."

Office Seekers Notified.THE PRESIDENT WILL NOT SEE APPLICANTSOR THEIR FRIENDS AFTER NOVEMBER 1ST.The President yesterday afternoon fssued the

following executive order:"For nearly eight months a large share of the

time of the President has been devoted to thehearing of applications for office and the deter¬mination of appointments. Much of the timethus spent has undoubtedly subserved the pub¬lic good; some of it has been sacrificed to the in¬dulgence of people in their natural insistenceupon useless interviews, and some of it has beenunjustifiably wasted.The public welfare and a due regard for the

claims of those whose interests in the govern¬ment are entirely disconnected with office-holding Imperatively demand that in the fu¬ture the time of the President should be differ¬ently occupied, and he confidently expects thatall good citizens will acquiesce in the proprietyand reasonableness of the following planadopted to that end: '

After the 1st day of November the Presidentwill decline to grant interviews to those seek¬ing public positions or their advocates. On Mon¬days, Wednesdays and Fridays during thatmonth,from 10 toll o'clock in the morning,he will receive such other persons as call onstrictly public business, and on the same days,at 1:JO in the afternoon, he will meet those who"?? ?£ desire to pay their respects. On allother days and times during that month he willreceive only cabinet officers and heads of de¬partments.''

STANTON'S APPREHENSION THAT THE PRESI-BEST DB9IOKKD TO FORCIBLY EJECT HIMthe police enlisted BT STANTON TO watchthe XARIXE BARRACKS.STANTON'S INVISI¬BLE BODY GUARD.

Major A. a Richards, who was superintendentof police for a long Series ot years, and who oc¬

cupied that position at the time Andrew John¬son was President, In speaking of the recentpublications by Mr. Depew and Col. Burr inreference to Johnson and Gen. Grant, said yes¬terday to a Star reporter that the discussionhad brought some circumstances to his mindwhich he had never mentioned before. henJohnson was President," said the major, "andit was generally known that there were differ¬ences between the Secretary of War and thePresident, one morning I received a messagefrom Secretary Stanton that be desired to seeme, and I Immediately went to the W ar De¬partment, The Secretary was at that timespending his entire time in the W ar Depart¬ment building, taking his meals and lodgingthere. In fact, the department was then hishome. When I reached the department I wasat ouce admitted to his room, and he then in¬formed me in a general way that trouble wasahead, and he had reason to believe that an at¬tempt would be made by the marines from thegarrison, on 8thstreet east, to seize the depart¬ment building and forcibly disposses him of it.TheSecretary did not ask the protection of thepolice, nor that the force should take part inany contest which might take place, but hesimply asked to be informed If the marinesshould march out of the garrison, and intimatedthat he would be prepared ior any such attack.The Secretary was not very communicative,but he led me to believe that there was a forcesomewhere which would have cometohjs as¬sistance speedily bad there been occasion.'

arrangements made by the police."What arrangements did you make, majorf

asked the reporter."I arranged," answered the major, "with the

lieutenant of the eighth precinct.I think itwas Milstead.that any move at the barracksshould be signaled at once. The officers, with¬out knowing the Import of the signal whichwas to have been passed from one to another toheadquarters, were posted in sight of eachother. We had the Gamewell dial machinesthen to transmit messages between the stationsand headquarters, but I was not certain thatthe message could be sent when necessity re¬quired, as the machines sometimes got out oforder, and I arranged for signaling from manto man should there be necessity. 1 do notsuppose that any one at the department knewmyousiness there outside of Mr. Stanton, andain certain that n»neol my forcc knew whatwas going on, although some may have guessed"You have not stated how long this arrange¬

ment was continued," the reporter remarked."My recollection now Is,' said the major,

"that it was for two or three days and nights.I was expected to do nothing more than sendMr. Stanton word of my movement. Mr. Stan¬ton said he wished to be apprised ot the first In¬dication that there was to be a forcible attempton the department,and I was prepared to so ap-orise him. What would have been my coursehad the attempt been made I cannot say now,but I would have, to the best ofmy ability, usedthe force In attempting to preserve the peace atleast."

MR. STANTON'S MYSTERIOUS FORCE."You are quite certain," asked the reporter,

"that Mr. Stanton was prepared with force?""Yes," answered the major; "he gave me to

understand that by belngapprised of any move¬ment against the department he would be pre¬pared to meet It, but he did not disclose whatthe force was or give me any information rela¬tive thereto. I understood, however, that Itwas a considerable force, perhaps a few thou¬sand, but the Secretary's conversation with mewas mostlv as to watching the barracks ana

Kivlng him lhformation as to any movementfrom that quarter."

."Col. Burr," said the reporter, "speaks of adistinguished general ol the volunteer servicebeing at the head ot the veterans.""Yes," said the major," but I cannot conjec¬

ture as to whom he refers to. I remember,however, that Mr. Stanton, ior some reason un-known to me, directed me to telegraph to anumber of parties, mostly in Pennsylvania,and I am certain that several dispatches weresent, to Pittsburg. Perhaps Gen. Negley mayhave been one of the parties I telegraphed to,and be mav be the officer alluded to as havingthe command, but it has been so long ago.nearly twenty years.that I cannot rememberwith any certainty as to the names. The gen-eral tenor ot the dispatches was requesting in¬vestigations to be made as to what was goingon, and to team the temper of the people.The question then was as to who wason top; Congress and the Secretary of ^ ar,with perhaps one or two others of the cabinet,being on one side, and the President and therest of the administration on the other. 1 hemarines were at the garrison and navy yard, aswell as some sailors, and the army had herebut a handful of men.one or two companies orordnance men at the arsenal. Knowing this, Iwas aware that Mr. Stanton must be expectiugaid outside of the regular army, and I had theImpression that the force he alluded to wassome association. He was quite emphatic,however, that if force was used against iiiiu hewould meet it with force, but he gave no fur¬ther information as to the force. He was veryreticent In his conversation with me about thistime, and gave me no more iniormation thanwas necessary." . ..'What do you know," asked the reporter, "oftroops arming in Maryland about that time?

.'I cannot recall now that 1 learned ai_

thing," said tne major, "on that subject, butsome of tne dispatches I sent for Mr. Stantonmay have been to parties to ascertain what wasoccurrlug in that sUte. I cannot recall nowwhat I learned from that state, if I did any¬thing."

STANTON AND WELLES.Last evening a gentleman who,in the days re¬

ferred to, was a close, Intimate friend of Mr.Stanton said, relerrlng to Col. Burr's story andMajor Richards' statement: "It is more thanlikely all true, especially that as to the marines,lor Secretary Welles was very bitter towardsMr. Stanton and very friendly with Mr. John¬son. In fact, he wanted Mr. Johnson almostbefore the rupture became known to oust Mr.Stanton. Yes, It would not have taken muchto have Induced Mr. Welles to haveicalled outthe marines and put Mr.Stanton and hlseflectsin the street. A.sk any ol the older employes ofthe War and Navy departments, and they willtell you that there was no love between theWar and Navy Secretaries about that time."

Consternation Among OfHee Seeker*.THE PRESIDENT'S ORDER STIRS THEM CP.WHAT COL. T.AMONT SAYS.WHAT A CONGRESS¬MAN SAYS.The President'sManifesto cutting offthe office

seekers from the White House has spread some¬

thing like consternation among those who are

anxious to assume a "public trust." The ordergoes into effect on the first of November, and isIndefinite as to its duration. Col. Lamont Raysthe rule may be relaxed a little when Congressmeets, so as to admit Senators and Representa¬tives, but the intention of the President is towithdraw from the annoyance permanently.In consequence of the order there was an

immense throng of office seekers at the WhiteHouse this morning, trying to get their work inbefore the time arrives when they are to be ex¬cluded altogether. The order provoked consid¬erable comment about the.hotel lobbies andother places where the politicians assemble,and the opinion generally expressed was thatit was all right for the President toseclude him¬self during the time that is necessary for himto prepare his message, but that if he contem¬plated excluding office seekers permanentlythere would be trouble."If he "thinks an edict will keep the office

seekers away he Is very innocent," said Repre-sentative Walter R. Cox. "They won't mindthe edict, and he will have the question of theoffices before him all during his term. He can'tavoid it; they will lay for him. They won't lethim draw out of it."

..

Many others expressed the opinion that thePresident would have a bard time trying to en-force the order. There is no doubt, however,that the President intends to have no more ofthe annoyance of the offices. He is going todevote his time to other matters, and will fightit out with the spoilsmen of his party on that^

There are fourteenof thefedistricts, which are very close politically andin these the fight is being made. Upon theseooantles or legislative districts, in which thereis not a margin of over lOO votes between thetwo contending parties, the oontroi ot the legis¬lature depends. Ex-Senator Johnston addedthat all the democrats had to fear was indlffer-enoe growing out of over oonfidence, but thisdanger, be says, has been overcome and theparty is thoroughly aroused. There are about200 democratic voters in Virginia who residein Washington, and arrangements have k"*made to have them all go /

Che Talk About a Democratic «o»-trnor and Mahoae LefiiiUlarF-X«lli-lng In Il-Thv Winning Kldf WillCarry Both Uovrraor an«l Legislature.peclal Dispatch to The Evknimu Star.

Richmond, Va. October 28..The current oflemocratic speculation as to next Tuesday'sesult, aided more or lew by republican inoiina*Ion, continue!* to flow In the direction Uereto-are marked out In these dispatches. It l>oars'ou toward the unnatural conclusion of M ine'sleclsive defeat and, Mahone's mysterious vie¬wy. "Mahone has out-rowed Wise, and, hav-ng passed him in the race, the candidate for;overnor Is now getting the Senator's 'wash.' "

'he fact is that this current is without any»roper bead or source and the conclusionrithout a foundation of any account. Wise islot getting the Senator's wash, and to-day the;ubernatorlal ticket is, or should be, ahead ofbe legislative one.

Underlying and enveloping all su«'h specula-Ion as that referred to will be fouud only thenere fear of a number of panic-struck demo-irats that Mahone can In some ingenious andaudacious way contrive to get just the requisitelumber of votes in just the requisite number of,he close districts to give him juxt the requisitenajorlty on a Joint ballot of the two houses to*e-elect himself without ability or even desire,o aid In the meantime his state ticket.Out of his "untold campaign wealth" he Is tonake an assemblyman wherever one is needed,*rith nobody on the side of the democratic.management"' to molest or interfere witb hisslans, nor any "'untold campaign wealth" oftheirs for Use in the emergencies of this "tight."Sow. the truth appears to l>e, from all the at¬tainable testimony at hand, that the demo¬cratic management has as mucli, It not more,money than the republicans: that they are as

ready*to use it in the election of their candi-iates; that tliey are watching tlie «-l<»se districtswith great auxiety; and, furthermore, there isthe ini[>ortant but almost forgotten fact thatlor many years this state ha> had a notoriouslegislative gerrymander, under operation ofwhich it takes about oue and a half republicanvotes to count one in the election of a legisla¬ture. This is conspicuously true in the blackbelt, where nearly two "republican" negroesare needed to make a voting power equalingLhat of a single white democrat.Itisuotthe intention to startle anybody or

make a case of any new outrage against thedemocratic party by the above statement,since "gerrymanders" In state-, republican aswell as democratic, are known to be frequent,but it is intended to show the fallacy of whatseems to be a popular idea that the republicanswill carry the legislature and lose their candi¬date for governor. Weil, if they carry the for¬mer they certainly ought to elect the latter, forbesides the fact of the "gerrymander," otherdisadvantages to the legislative, not siiared bythe state ticket, might be pointed out to thereaders ofThe STAB. In conclusion, It inayalso be put down as a tact that Wise, both inthe southwest and the valley, two former dern-acratic strongholds, will be found not weakerbut stronger than bl* party. His distinguisheddemocratic paternity and his o« n democraticantecedents will be strong cards for him Inboth those sections. Fully expecting for at leastfouryears past to be the candidate of his partyfor governor, he has done a great deal of per¬sonal electioneering as well as public campaign¬ing In the southwest. He has a larger personalacquaintance, too, than any man of eitherparty in the state. In his campaign two yearsigo forcongressman-at-large he made a tour ofthe entire state. Indeed for years past be hast>een almost constantly on the "stump," whileIn the present canvass be has traveled moremiles and made more speeches than any candi¬date for auv office in this state ever before at¬tempted. All previous records of the kind are

utterly eclipsed bv the performance of Mr.Wise. So after diligent inquiry The star cor¬

respondent Is unable to find any good groundm which to build a belief that the eud can be3ther than the entire defeat of either the repub¬licans or democrats. There will be no hall-wayresult.

Next answer Is made to the applica¬tion lor a it-count of the ballots, and then point*are made that there Is no statutory provlalonfor the preservation of the ballots cast at anelection for mayor; that the court has the rightto order them counted If they have been pre¬served; and thai they have, by reason of beinghandled or tampered with by otber person*than the city clerk or his deputy, or toe elec¬tion Judpes, lost their value a* evidence. i>e-nial is then made that any illegal vote* werecast for Mayor Harrison, aud proof of the ail^nation* that certain persons did so vote a* al¬leged In the i>ettiton la demanded.
