four Democrats present different names for

put It this way: “It is suggested, for Instance,
that Mubono present h candidate for Sergeant

Confederate soldier. Tho Democrats might pre

would be very embarrassing fortbo Republicans
to oppose a Union soldier nominated by tho
Democrats, and to support an ox-Confcdcrato

lIKN hill’s harangue.
Inquiry among tho Democratic lenders reveals
that mlly ono-half of them condemn Den Hill’s
attack upon Senator Mabono yesterday as un
justifiable and Inexcusable. It Is feared that
tbo bitterness and venom displayed by Hill will
react and strengthen Mabono among the Demo
crats In Virginia.' A well-informed Virginia
Democrat, opposed to Mabono, says thatMn
hono will get tbo sympathy of a largo number
of Democrats In bis state who are opposed to
bis political course, but wilt sustain him In
defending the right of a Virginia Senator to
vote ns ho may please, without having tils mo
tives Impugned. If Hill bad not done this, bis
speech would have hurt Mabono In Virginia, but
os it Is, tbo latter will to strengthened by it.

Washington, D. C., March 15.—Thero was a
meeting of tbo members of the Illinois delega
tion at the olllco of the Department of Justice
this morning In the matter of tbo Marsbnlsbip
for tbo Northern District of Illinois. There
were present Senator Logan and Representa
tives Farwoll, Aldrich, Thomas, Marsh, Cannon,
Cullen, Payson, Hawk, and Henderson. Mr.
Farwell was present In tbo room when tbo dele
gation entered, having called to recommend tbo
appointment of McDuld, of Chicago, to a posi
tion In tbo Territories. Oen. Logan stated to
Attorney-General MaoVcogb that tbo delega
tion bad called to confer about the Marsbulsblp.
Mr. Lagnn, for tbo flrst time. Hied tbo papers of
A. M. Junes as an applicant for that position.
GEN. LOGAN
said that it bad been tbo custom of tbo Stato
that tbo olllco of tbo Marshal was witbln tbo
patronage of tbo Senator, but bo sold that, in
addition, ho was Joined In the recommendation
of Jones by five of the nine Congressional Rep
resentatives from tbo Judicial District, exclud
ing only Farwell, Davis, Aidricb, and Bbcrwln,
and that tbo papers of Mr. Jones were also in
dorsed by n largo majority of tbo members of
both tbo Stato Legislature. Senator
Logan, afteru brief speech In support of Mr.
Jones, submitted tbo cose. Representative
Thomas, of tbo Cairo district, also hud some
pleasant words to say for Mr. Jones. Mr. Far
well opposed tbo appointment. Ho stated that
ho had no quarrel with Senator Logan or with
anybody, but that bo believed that tbo appoint
ment of Jonos would bo offensive to the great
majority of Republicans la that Marshal's dis
trict; that Mr. Jones was opposed by
THE TUIIKK CITV MEMUBIW,
himself, Aldrich, and Davis, and that at least
one of the Chicago members—Representative
George K. Davis—bad stated that bo believed
that tho appointment of > Jones would result In
tbo loss of tho spring election la Chicago to tbo
Republicans. In addition, Mr. Farwoll stated
that tho appointment of Jones would be dis
pleasing to two of tbo Judges, and that one of
thorn (wbom bo did nut name) had authorized
him (Farwoll) to say that the appointment of
Jones was one not flt to bo made. Mr. Farwell
furtborstatod that Mr. Jones was tho Incumbent
of a Federal position in bis own district worth
(1,500, and that it would bo well for him to stay
there.
HARWELL ALSO SAID
that it appeared to bo understood that Judgo
Woodcock, of Sterling, would bo likely to bo ap

event that Jones should bo transferred to tbo
Marsbalsblp. Ho (Harwell) suggested that it
might bo wiso to appoint Woodcock ns Marshal
and than take another man from tbo county.
Farwcll distinctly stated that bo bad no candi
date of bis own, and bo did not make tiny
recommendations la behalf of Mr. StlllwelL
Aldrich said bo was opposed to Jones, flratof all,
because* be bad a candidate of bis own, and bo
submitted tho name of cx-Ald. James H. ,
Gilbert. This Is Mr. Aldrich’s candidate for Col
lector of Internal Revenue, however, and it
In not supposed that bo presented the name with *
any serious expectation that Gilbert would bo
appointed Marshal. Mr. Aldrich also suggested
tbo numo of Mr. Hubbard, Superintendent of
Mails In tbo Chicago Pust-OQlcc, but tbo sugges
tion of this numo was not satisfactory. Gen.
Logan
DID NOT CARE TO LISTEN TO ANY OFFERS
OK COMPROMISE.
Ho bad so much coulldonco In bis ability to se
cure tbo appointment of bis owu nominee that
ho afterwards said bo did not consider It neces
sary for him to entertain any propositions of
compromise, and that be was not uccustomud to
cumpromlso. Finally, Mr. Farwcll, being asked
If bo bad anything more to say In
opposition to Jones, stated that ho did bavesomo
papers at bis hotel which ho might submit, but
which bo did not euro lo file. Tbo Attorney-
General suggested that a time be appointed for
another meeting. Senator Lognu thought that
It would nut bo practicable tor him, m view of
bis duties in tho to Ux any time for an
other meeting, and did not know that another
mooting would ho necessary, but it was decided
that Mr. Farwcll should go for bis documents,
which bo did. The paper proved to bo
A JOINT AFFIDAVIT,
making charges against the business Integrity
of Mr. Jones, extending back to ItTJ-i. Mr. Far
well said that be did nut euro to UlotblsalUduvU.
Ho wished Gun. Logan to read It. Gen. Lo
gan sold that bo did nut care to read It, but that
Mr. Farwel) ought to tllo It. This Mr. Farwull
then declined to do, when Judge .Payton tooic
tbuallldavlt at tho requestor Farwcll and read
It, mid undertook lo Inform Senator Logan
afterwards of Its contents, and also to comma
nlcato with Mr. Jones on tbo subject. Tho alii
davit was also submitted to Representatives
Marsh, Henderson, and Thomas. Roth Mr.
Jones and Mr, Harwell 10-nlghl refuse lo per
mit the publication of this uiHdavlt, an ar
rangement having been mado between Mr.
Jouus and Mr. Harwell, according to which Jones
should make uu alliduvit giving
Hl4 VERSION OP THE TRANSACTIONS
with regard to which tho charges were made,
and If this counter atlldavlt seems satisfactory
tu Mr. Furwull, that tho original uillduvlt should
not be hied, but should bo returned to tho per
son designated by Mr. Farwell ns uu eminently
responsible lower in Cbluugo, from whom It
come, together with the counter altldnvit. Mr.
Jones soon became ae<iuolnted with tbu allldavlt
charging him wlih Improper truusautlous. and
called upon Farweil, stating that tho question
with him thou was not whether he was going tu
bu Marshal, but whether he was lit to bo Mar
shal. Ho stated that the charges of the allldavlt
were utterly false, ami tliat he would prepant
and furnish Mr. Farwoll by to-morrow morning
a counter uillduvlt. From reliable sourced,
NOTWITHSTANDING THE ATTEMPTS AT BE

It Is ascertained that the subject mutter of tho
nlllduvit against Mr. Junes is substantially ui
follows: Tho document was sworn to In Chicago
lust Friday, March 11, mm reached here Sunday
morning. Mr. Farweil old not read it until this
mornlog. It Is a Joint allldavlt, signed by John

In u suit by wblob, tu he claims, Junes Is at
tempting to make him pay twice for a nolo of
1760 placed lu his hands In trust by
Mersey. Dogeelt and Mersey appear
to bare bad some business relations
with each other, and bad deposited a
number of notes, amounting to some *2,000, with
Junes fur safekeeping, because neither party
bad a safe. From time to time those notes wore
returned, except the one fur *T6O, which

business disagreement, and, according to tho af

although Uoggvti claims to have paid tbo
amount once, and tried to force u payment a
second time. Thu note was not indorsed.

as his own: that It was never Indorsed to him.
