An Open letter from Mr. XcVeagh Washington, May 20.—Much of the discussion as to the advisability of nominating Mr. Blaine to the presidency has centered about his ability to carry New York. The Times makos an interesting contribution to this controversy in the table printed below. It shows the Republican and Democratic majorities by congreesionad districts, in the last presidential election, and how the several districts were represented in the recent state Times on the Subject. Bather ThAn Talk About the Dead and Nashville, Heslfas, New York, May 20.— Mr. C. & Baldwin has resigned his position as freaklMt et the Louisville and Nashville railroad. His reasons for taking this step ware said to be of a purely personal nature. Mr. Bofirs, the well-known chief of the Sogers' locomotive works, has been chosen by the directors to fill his place, although it is understood that Mr. Baldwin does not relinquish his stroke oar in the management. The following statement was furnished by the secretary of the company for publication: Mr. Baldwin reported to the board that certain funds of the company had been invested in the purchase of stock of the company, which, when sold, produced a loss of $206,000. The Great French Cheat*'* Victory Over Hydrophobia. Albany, Kay 10 —After a hard straggly extending over many months, the Albany iron workers are at last being farced to the wall by the relentless and greedy prison contractors. The manufacturing moldera here hare made a bitter war on the Moldera* union, and hare saooeeded in teeing down prices to a point which ma Ha it aa impoadbility for the men to sarn a livelihood at Vie trade. Within a short period prices have reduced m per cent, mainly through the instrumentality of Perry A* Co., the great prison store-making firm. The rssolt is that today there is little or no vitality left in the Holders' union in either Albany or Troy, the manufaotnrsrs having combined against it, and that a period of stagnation is about to be experienced in the entire trade ia this seotioiV as free tabor is concerned. l Dr, on the Satyect.

M. Pasteur is enthusiastic over his discovery, and "!»C"" to have made such thorough experiments as to be absolutely certain of his hypothssis. It is reported to Paris that the eminent professor proved his devotion to science and his faith to the efficacy of His disooveryby experimenting upon himself by first inducing a mjld form of rabies by innoculation and then allowing himself to be oitten by a rabid dog. M. Pasteur, to the conclusion of his essay, urged the academy to memorialize the goveraaunt to appoint an official commission to thoroughly investigate the subject by means of experiments upon voluntary subjects or condemned prisoners. He insists that the process will be without peril and almost wtthout pain, and that the Doon to humanity to conquering hydrophobia would far outweigh the small risk whioh would be incurred. Philadelphia, May 20.—To-day's Times publishes an open letter to ex-Secretary Bristow, who is announced to speak at the Arthur meeting in New York to-night, from ex- Attomey General Wayne MacVeagh on Arthur as a rresidential candidate, which begins as follows: convention—by Blaine, bhnrand Edmunds Nkw York, May 20.—In the suit of Marvin vs. Grant & Ward Ferdinand Ward 000- tinued his testimony, as follows: "Who stood behind Mr. Fish?" "I don't exactly see the point." . • "What parties did he name as supplying capital or dividing profits." "Mr. Bingham, the Marine bank and Mr. Tappan." "Others?" delegates respective! it tf i j! |! i 2 3 | t 11 C Districts. The board having declined to recognize the transaction, the amount has been made good by Mr. Baldwin. My Dear Sib: I notice that yon we announced to address a meeting on Tuesday night In New York in support of the proposition that the political career of Chester A. Arthur makes his elevation to the presidency by the vote* of his fellow-citizens more desirable than that, for instance, of Senator Edmunds, or Senator Sherman, or any other of our eminent public men whose names are frequently used in connection with that great office. 3,3101 For many years Albany and Ttay have been the oentre of the iron-molding trade In New York. At the shops of Perry Sc. Co., in this citv, 380 men and boys were employed, 100 being moldera. Their wages formerly averaged $275,000 per annum. Under the reduction of rates the union found it impossible to hold together, and a strike was the result, POLICE PLUG "X don't think so." The following was also furnished: At a meeting of the directors of the louisville and Nashville Railroad company to-day the new president, Mr. J. 8. Rogers, in the chair, Mr. M. H. Smith, vice president, made an informal report of the earnings and expenses for the fiscal year showing gross earnings $14,500,000, and net earnings 15,750,- 000. After deducting fixed charges, $4,200,- 000, it leaves a balance of $1,500,000 for the stock—equivalent to six per cent. In speaking of the subject mentioned to the first statement, Messrs. Gould, Sage and Oarley said to substance: "That is all there ia to be said about the matter. There has been: no defalcation of any kind. The securities of the company that should be to its treasury are intact Neither Mr. Baldwin nor any one else has used them iofproperly. Mr. Baldwin considered it best to use the funds of the company, or a part of tftem, to sustain the price of its stock in the market. It may have been an error of judgment, and the board so considered it. As soon as they expressed that view of it, Mr. Baldwin and his friends made good to the company the loss incurred by the transaction." 9,811 "Have you any recollection how much Mr. Bingham received?" "I don't recollect" "Nor how much Tappan or the Marine bank?" 41,285 "No; some of the profits were retained by the firm." 4 There were many cases, were there not, in which persons thought there was a contract, and where one person knew there was not?" "Yes, sir." In the shops of -Rathbone, Sard te Co., 1,000 men are employed, and their wages also being reduced, a strike followed. Hundreds of mechanics were thrown idle, awl the loss of wages was at least $1,000 a day. Should this state of things continue the entire trade will be driven out of the state to Cleveland, Chicago, St Louis, Nashville and other western points. in* As you expected my admiration and rapport, and Mr. Arthur's contemptuous hostility, eight years ago, by your efforts to bring the guilty in high places to punishment, I am sorry to find myself differing so radically from you as to the present duty of men who care for a higher and purer public life. But my 'warm personal regard for you makes me desirous that your speech should be a good speech, even in a bad cause. I venture, therefore, to offer you a few suggestions.8,4Vl) 072 4,275 "Then these profits were no profits at all; they wore simply paper?" "In some cases we made money out of it." "But there were no contracts?" "No, sir." 4,81» 5,929 10,130 2,808 8,000 "So Mr. Fish supplied you with money and he bank furnished money by means of tlie notes that were furnished under these circumstances, and others were discounted." "It was not all paid to me." "But Fish furnished you money?' "Yes." The explanation of the whole matter is that prison labor in New York isso profitable to the contractors and to extensive in ita facilities thai sooner than aeoord fair Wages to free labor the contractors wogjd increase their prison product, reduce their outside working force, employ mskiUed aco-Union men and divert hundreds of thousands of dollars in wages from the to other channels mors profitable to thnnaslv»s. 1= -v Larger PLUG TiAlJ ° Fine At the threshold I ought to warn you that while nobody envies Mr. Arthur the great prize, as far beyond his expectations as his deserts, which he drew "in the lottery of assassination," yet nobody has forgotten the pregnant fact that Guiteau was the original Arthur man, that he killed President Garfield expressly to make Mr. Arthur president, and that be did make him president by that act for nearly four years. Now, In view of this awful tragedy and its results, it has always seamed to a good many people, outside of Wall street, of course, that a proper sense of deoeacy and of the fitness of tilings would har* led President Arthur and his friends to see that his true course was to be satisfied with the one term thus secured to him, and not to challenge his countrymen to review bis political career and to express their opinion of 11 As, howevor, you propose to hold up that career as worthy of especial honor, and even of the highest office in the gift of the people, in preference, for example, to the political career of Senator Edmunds or of Senator Sherman, I will gladly help you to a few points in the line of your argument. 5,796 6,106 9,D79 859 8,495 8,360 5,477 8,351 641 10,230 "Did you receive money from any one else?" "*• "From Mr. Work." rv "Did you pay a percentage to any one as your agent for their adherence to this scheme?' The gentlemen mentioned gave positive assurances that this was the whole matter. Mr. Baldwin, in speaking of the transaction, made the same statement All at them declined to go into details of the transactions, which it is understood cover purchases of stock during the last two or three weeks through the office of Lee, Ryan & Warren. Baldwin remains a director of the company, and also a member Of the fhtanoe oommittee of its board. ComflMalem of « Socialist.

Samuel VT4rd was a son of a prominent banker of that name who long did business in New York, the firm being Prince, Ward & King. This house had extensive European connections, and became very wealthy. It has been continued successively by James G. King Cfc Sons and James G. King's Sons, a firm which still exists. Samuel inherited a large fortune, and his connections / and Hurroundings made it possible for him to choose from a great variety of careers. That there was power in his family to make their mark in various vocations is shown in the history of his sister, Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, of Boston. His fortune melted awayj in youthful gayetles, and he engaged ia a multitude of more or less lucrative pursuits. One of the most genial and hospitable of men, ever ready to do a graceful or kindly act at just the right moment, he was yet of a restless, roving disposition. He was well described by his friend, the Earl of Bosfefeery, aa one who had been "banker, sportsman and Casiquef One year a leader in Washington society, the next he ooold be found recuperating his damaged fortunes in the California mines.

Washington, May 20.—'The secretary of the navy has received a report from Commander Schley, commanding the Oreely search expedition, under date of St Johns, Hay 9, the date of the arrival of the Thetis, in which he states that on the second day out from New York, one of the oonoecting rods of the circulating pump broke square off, disabling the engine for about twenty hours. Owing to the unavoidable absence of the chief engineer when his stores were stowed on board, a thorough examination failed to discover tho spare parts which were to be furnished, and it became necessary to repair the broken part by forging which was successfully accomplished. The experience of toe passage demonstrated the unfitness of H. B. Neall, first-class fireman, for that service, and he will be returned to the receiving ship Colorado by the first opportunity from St Johns, and a more suitable man enlisted in his place. The stay at St Johns will be limited to the time actually required for slight repairs, taking on board eighty tons of ooal and other supplies. The Thetis will sail immediately for Disco. Lieut. Emery in the Bear preceded all of the whaling fleet from St. Johns except the Norwhalo, a slow vessel, which he will most likely overtake before reaching the north water. The transport ooal steamer Lech Garry was hi port, and would be conveyed as far as possible with Ensign W. J. Chambers and Seamen Carl Wilson and John B. Larson on board. Commander Sohley commends tbe promptness and zeal of Lieut. Emery and United States Consul Molloy in taking on supplies and making preparations tor continuing the Bear's cruise north.

An Open letter from Mr. XcVeagh Washington, May 20.—Much of the discussion as to the advisability of nominating Mr. Blaine to the presidency has centered about his ability to carry New York. The Times makos an interesting contribution to this controversy in the table printed below. It shows the Republican and Democratic majorities by congreesionad districts, in the last presidential election, and how the several districts were represented in the recent state Times on the Subject. Bather ThAn Talk About the Dead and Nashville, Heslfas, New York, May 20.— Mr. C. & Baldwin has resigned his position as freaklMt et the Louisville and Nashville railroad. His reasons for taking this step ware said to be of a purely personal nature. Mr. Bofirs, the well-known chief of the Sogers' locomotive works, has been chosen by the directors to fill his place, although it is understood that Mr. Baldwin does not relinquish his stroke oar in the management. The following statement was furnished by the secretary of the company for publication: Mr. Baldwin reported to the board that certain funds of the company had been invested in the purchase of stock of the company, which, when sold, produced a loss of $206,000. The Great French Cheat*'* Victory Over Hydrophobia. Albany, Kay 10 —After a hard straggly extending over many months, the Albany iron workers are at last being farced to the wall by the relentless and greedy prison contractors. The manufacturing moldera here hare made a bitter war on the Moldera* union, and hare saooeeded in teeing down prices to a point which ma Ha it aa impoadbility for the men to sarn a livelihood at Vie trade. Within a short period prices have reduced m per cent, mainly through the instrumentality of Perry A* Co., the great prison store-making firm. The rssolt is that today there is little or no vitality left in the Holders' union in either Albany or Troy, the manufaotnrsrs having combined against it, and that a period of stagnation is about to be experienced in the entire trade ia this seotioiV as free tabor is concerned. l Dr, on the Satyect.

M. Pasteur is enthusiastic over his discovery, and "!»C"" to have made such thorough experiments as to be absolutely certain of his hypothssis. It is reported to Paris that the eminent professor proved his devotion to science and his faith to the efficacy of His disooveryby experimenting upon himself by first inducing a mjld form of rabies by innoculation and then allowing himself to be oitten by a rabid dog. M. Pasteur, to the conclusion of his essay, urged the academy to memorialize the goveraaunt to appoint an official commission to thoroughly investigate the subject by means of experiments upon voluntary subjects or condemned prisoners. He insists that the process will be without peril and almost wtthout pain, and that the Doon to humanity to conquering hydrophobia would far outweigh the small risk whioh would be incurred. Philadelphia, May 20.—To-day's Times publishes an open letter to ex-Secretary Bristow, who is announced to speak at the Arthur meeting in New York to-night, from ex- Attomey General Wayne MacVeagh on Arthur as a rresidential candidate, which begins as follows: convention—by Blaine, bhnrand Edmunds Nkw York, May 20.—In the suit of Marvin vs. Grant & Ward Ferdinand Ward 000- tinued his testimony, as follows: "Who stood behind Mr. Fish?" "I don't exactly see the point." . • "What parties did he name as supplying capital or dividing profits." "Mr. Bingham, the Marine bank and Mr. Tappan." "Others?" delegates respective! it tf i j! |! i 2 3 | t 11 C Districts. The board having declined to recognize the transaction, the amount has been made good by Mr. Baldwin. My Dear Sib: I notice that yon we announced to address a meeting on Tuesday night In New York in support of the proposition that the political career of Chester A. Arthur makes his elevation to the presidency by the vote* of his fellow-citizens more desirable than that, for instance, of Senator Edmunds, or Senator Sherman, or any other of our eminent public men whose names are frequently used in connection with that great office. 3,3101 For many years Albany and Ttay have been the oentre of the iron-molding trade In New York. At the shops of Perry Sc. Co., in this citv, 380 men and boys were employed, 100 being moldera. Their wages formerly averaged $275,000 per annum. Under the reduction of rates the union found it impossible to hold together, and a strike was the result, POLICE PLUG "X don't think so." The following was also furnished: At a meeting of the directors of the louisville and Nashville Railroad company to-day the new president, Mr. J. 8. Rogers, in the chair, Mr. M. H. Smith, vice president, made an informal report of the earnings and expenses for the fiscal year showing gross earnings $14,500,000, and net earnings 15,750,- 000. After deducting fixed charges, $4,200,- 000, it leaves a balance of $1,500,000 for the stock—equivalent to six per cent. In speaking of the subject mentioned to the first statement, Messrs. Gould, Sage and Oarley said to substance: "That is all there ia to be said about the matter. There has been: no defalcation of any kind. The securities of the company that should be to its treasury are intact Neither Mr. Baldwin nor any one else has used them iofproperly. Mr. Baldwin considered it best to use the funds of the company, or a part of tftem, to sustain the price of its stock in the market. It may have been an error of judgment, and the board so considered it. As soon as they expressed that view of it, Mr. Baldwin and his friends made good to the company the loss incurred by the transaction." 9,811 "Have you any recollection how much Mr. Bingham received?" "I don't recollect" "Nor how much Tappan or the Marine bank?" 41,285 "No; some of the profits were retained by the firm." 4 There were many cases, were there not, in which persons thought there was a contract, and where one person knew there was not?" "Yes, sir." In the shops of -Rathbone, Sard te Co., 1,000 men are employed, and their wages also being reduced, a strike followed. Hundreds of mechanics were thrown idle, awl the loss of wages was at least $1,000 a day. Should this state of things continue the entire trade will be driven out of the state to Cleveland, Chicago, St Louis, Nashville and other western points. in* As you expected my admiration and rapport, and Mr. Arthur's contemptuous hostility, eight years ago, by your efforts to bring the guilty in high places to punishment, I am sorry to find myself differing so radically from you as to the present duty of men who care for a higher and purer public life. But my 'warm personal regard for you makes me desirous that your speech should be a good speech, even in a bad cause. I venture, therefore, to offer you a few suggestions.8,4Vl) 072 4,275 "Then these profits were no profits at all; they wore simply paper?" "In some cases we made money out of it." "But there were no contracts?" "No, sir." 4,81» 5,929 10,130 2,808 8,000 "So Mr. Fish supplied you with money and he bank furnished money by means of tlie notes that were furnished under these circumstances, and others were discounted." "It was not all paid to me." "But Fish furnished you money?' "Yes." The explanation of the whole matter is that prison labor in New York isso profitable to the contractors and to extensive in ita facilities thai sooner than aeoord fair Wages to free labor the contractors wogjd increase their prison product, reduce their outside working force, employ mskiUed aco-Union men and divert hundreds of thousands of dollars in wages from the to other channels mors profitable to thnnaslv»s. 1= -v Larger PLUG TiAlJ ° Fine At the threshold I ought to warn you that while nobody envies Mr. Arthur the great prize, as far beyond his expectations as his deserts, which he drew "in the lottery of assassination," yet nobody has forgotten the pregnant fact that Guiteau was the original Arthur man, that he killed President Garfield expressly to make Mr. Arthur president, and that be did make him president by that act for nearly four years. Now, In view of this awful tragedy and its results, it has always seamed to a good many people, outside of Wall street, of course, that a proper sense of deoeacy and of the fitness of tilings would har* led President Arthur and his friends to see that his true course was to be satisfied with the one term thus secured to him, and not to challenge his countrymen to review bis political career and to express their opinion of 11 As, howevor, you propose to hold up that career as worthy of especial honor, and even of the highest office in the gift of the people, in preference, for example, to the political career of Senator Edmunds or of Senator Sherman, I will gladly help you to a few points in the line of your argument. 5,796 6,106 9,D79 859 8,495 8,360 5,477 8,351 641 10,230 "Did you receive money from any one else?" "*• "From Mr. Work." rv "Did you pay a percentage to any one as your agent for their adherence to this scheme?' The gentlemen mentioned gave positive assurances that this was the whole matter. Mr. Baldwin, in speaking of the transaction, made the same statement All at them declined to go into details of the transactions, which it is understood cover purchases of stock during the last two or three weeks through the office of Lee, Ryan & Warren. Baldwin remains a director of the company, and also a member Of the fhtanoe oommittee of its board. ComflMalem of « Socialist.

Fraiifclin Bfcrtlett asked Surrogate Rollins to made some disposition of the obstinate witness.

Samuel VT4rd was a son of a prominent banker of that name who long did business in New York, the firm being Prince, Ward & King. This house had extensive European connections, and became very wealthy. It has been continued successively by James G. King Cfc Sons and James G. King's Sons, a firm which still exists. Samuel inherited a large fortune, and his connections / and Hurroundings made it possible for him to choose from a great variety of careers. That there was power in his family to make their mark in various vocations is shown in the history of his sister, Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, of Boston. His fortune melted awayj in youthful gayetles, and he engaged ia a multitude of more or less lucrative pursuits. One of the most genial and hospitable of men, ever ready to do a graceful or kindly act at just the right moment, he was yet of a restless, roving disposition. He was well described by his friend, the Earl of Bosfefeery, aa one who had been "banker, sportsman and Casiquef One year a leader in Washington society, the next he ooold be found recuperating his damaged fortunes in the California mines.

Sincerely yours, Watwk MacVeaoh. Washington, May 20.—'The secretary of the navy has received a report from Commander Schley, commanding the Oreely search expedition, under date of St Johns, Hay 9, the date of the arrival of the Thetis, in which he states that on the second day out from New York, one of the oonoecting rods of the circulating pump broke square off, disabling the engine for about twenty hours. Owing to the unavoidable absence of the chief engineer when his stores were stowed on board, a thorough examination failed to discover tho spare parts which were to be furnished, and it became necessary to repair the broken part by forging which was successfully accomplished. The experience of toe passage demonstrated the unfitness of H. B. Neall, first-class fireman, for that service, and he will be returned to the receiving ship Colorado by the first opportunity from St Johns, and a more suitable man enlisted in his place. The stay at St Johns will be limited to the time actually required for slight repairs, taking on board eighty tons of ooal and other supplies. The Thetis will sail immediately for Disco. Lieut. Emery in the Bear preceded all of the whaling fleet from St. Johns except the Norwhalo, a slow vessel, which he will most likely overtake before reaching the north water. The transport ooal steamer Lech Garry was hi port, and would be conveyed as far as possible with Ensign W. J. Chambers and Seamen Carl Wilson and John B. Larson on board. Commander Sohley commends tbe promptness and zeal of Lieut. Emery and United States Consul Molloy in taking on supplies and making preparations tor continuing the Bear's cruise north.
