Each passenger filled one of the blanks and gave It, in a sealed envelope, to the operator at Clifton. In the middle of the center car of the traMEiectrician a K Dingle, sat before a desk furnished with a Moras telegraphic key and a switch. He held a tele Dhone at each ear. Under the desk was a battery. From this a ground wire was connected with the car axle and the rail. Another wirD passed through the key an.l to the roof of the car, which was connected with the roofs of the other oars by short pieces of insulaied copper wire. Parallel with the railroad were the telegraph wires of the Baltimore and Ohio company.

Mr.  ridge, of Arkansas, who had probably read ha article, promptly made the point of ol der that there was nothing in the editorial which reflected upon Mr. Hanback in his capacity a: a representative. The speaker sske 1 if this statement wa i correct and Mr Hanback admitted that it was, but insisted chat the article and other editorials relating to the sani9 reflected upon the house of rep eseutatives, and therefore the charges ought to lie investigated. Sir—I have reflected upon the subject of vour communication of yesterday and have onto to . he conclusion i hat it would not t* oroper to permit the letters recommending any candidate for office to be iitspec ed. There was an immense conconrse of peo-le ass-mbled "t the -lation uron ti e arrival of bo train, 'nd as it beneath the station there was a sti Iden -i enca that was not bro'cen for several m'nutes. The ("s cot, was remove 1 to the lieirse and tin cortege wonded its wav to the old church. Theyoung ladies seemed almost overcome wi'li the'r grief, «fi 1 they were driven to tli* house of Dr. Kane, en une'e. where they will remain until after the funeral. hev should, in my opinion, be rcgarde 1 as confidential. . They are written for the pur no-e of enlightening 'he judgment of the appointing pow,-r in regard to the merits oi fcht- person proposed for office, an i I can ee no more reason for calling on the head of "Make the mo t of me now, as it's the last chance you wdl get of having me for your prime minister. Don't nip my new career of puwer in the bud." On the other hand, the constant admirers of the premier tind in to-da /*« ova ions new texts on which to base eulogies ot their hero. A curious bit* of gossip may be interesting in his connection, as showing how politics are intermingled here with other affairs of life. ]t is that the public ition of Disrceli's letters to his sister w:is made just at this titr.e by reason of an express understanding between the Tory ' worker's'' aud the literary executors of the late antagonist of Qrnds one. 1 he object, ot cour-e, was to revive in the public mind the greatness of Dii-raeli and to afford an opportunity of bringng up memories more or less unfavorable to Gladstone. Accordingly the Conservative journals have b-en made to teem with auecjotes and reminiscences of the intellectual eomoats between Gladstone and Disraeli, or at leas; thosu in which tue Tory chief came out triumphant Even t.:o venerable gibe of Disrae.i that Mr. Gail ston- wDC a man ot words rather than ot thoug it, that he was 'iuebriaied bv the exui erance of his own verbosity'—has ho.-n reproduced in attempts to use tha weapons of li.era.ure in a political warfare.

Moreover, it s ou Id be impo sible to ascertain what weight should be attributed to those testimonials, or how far they influenced the Ju 'graent of the i-ecretary. X presume i wouli be entirely competent for him, if he thought proper, to return all such letters to i-he applicants or to destroy taem. If, for his own purpose, he thinks it best to imvt hem in the department, I cannot regard that fact as investing them with the charac ter of public records, open to the inspec ion of thos » who may feel sufficient Interest in the subject to desire to examine them. \ r F s'i talked of h's troubles and of bis bu-in»ss relationC with Ferdinand Ward, and told ho v he became a cquainted D with Wr 1 an 1 how the latter had gained his c nfl 'enC;' and led hiti on to ruin.

The casket was heaned with the most exq iisite floral offering fashioned into crosses, pillows, anchors and wreaths. Onlv a few were grantel admission to the church, and the secretarv entered with bowed head and stood as if in silent praver while the casket was being placed in position. The rector was in attendance, and as he raised his hand the silent assemblage knelt in -prayer, while Mr Bayard buried his fao in bis hands. After the prayers he left the church upon the arm of Mr. Gray. ' By i his time the Domooratio side was in a state of high ferment Reagan, McMillin and a doz -n othD*r southern men were on tieir lee clamoring for a hearing on questions of order.

As the appointment in the particular case referred to by you was under a former ad m nlitration, i feel particularly reluctant to depart from what I regard to oe the safe rule of treating all recommendsions as of a confidential character. I have not looked into the nature o( hem, nor bv whom they were given, and, therefore, my refusal to permit them to be ex mined rests upon a general principle, aud has no reference to the circumstances of this particular case.

On applying for the usual courtesy of admission as a mem er of the press, your correspondent was informed by the officials that the applications for admission for Thursday night exceed even the number filed for the recent opening of parliament, though, of course, the queen will not be present as a popu ar attraction.

While at Osborne be submitted to the queen a draft of the ministry ha intends to bring together, and the names therein were favorably passed upon by ber majesty. It is stated, however, upou excellent authority, that several of the gentlemen named by Mr. Gladstone are dissatisfied wi.h the places assigned to them, and will decline to serve in the capacities imffoatei by ihe original formula. It is therefore probable that the list wdl be considei ably modified, the substituted names being submitted, as ill the lirst instance, to the queen for her approval. All sources of information agree in ascribing to this circumstance the reason for Mr. Gladstone s delay in officially making public a lull list of 'his appointees to the new cabinet.
