WHATNICOLAY HAS TO SAY
HeClaims That President Lincoln^Warmly bupportcd HanniDal^Hamlin for the Vioa-^Prt-sidency.
Washington,July 9.^John G. Ntco-^lay to-day addressed an open letter to^Colonel McClurc, editor of tlie Philadel^^phia Time*, replying to the latent edito^^rial on tbe subject. N unlay nay* in part,^he was at tliu iialtiiuure convention as a^spectator. H. C Cook, chairman ^ f the^Illinois delegation, had a conversation^with him about the course of certain dis^^affected leaders in Illinois. That conver^^sation Nicolay reported to the president^in a letter to Major Hay, assistant^private secretary. What he had heard^had made Cook suspicious thut Swett^might be untrue to Lincoln. U:ie of the^^ Haws which led to this belief was that^Xwetl had telegraphed to llaltimore urg-^ins the Illinois delegation to go for Holt.^Cook wanted to know coiilldentially^whether, 111 urginir Holt for vico presi^^dent, Swell reflected the president's^wish; whether the president bad any^preference, or whether he wished^not even to interfere with the^confidential indication. Upon this letter^President Lincoln made the following en^^dorsement in his own handwriting:^^Swett is unquestionably all right. Mr.^Holt is a good man, hut I had not heard^or thought of bun for vice president. I^wish not to interfere about the vice pres^^ident. Caunot interfere. Platform^convention must jti'lgo for it^^self.'' ^This written evidence,^^says Nicolay, ^cannot bo turned. In^trying to evado its force, you assert Lin^^coln called you to Washington and urged^the nomination of Johnson, and that you^returned to Baltimore to work and vote^in obedience to that request against your^personal predictions. Tbe proceedings^of the convention,^ says Nicolay, ^show^that you acted an entirely minor^part. Is it probable that Lin^^coln among all other men in^the Pennsylvania delegation (Simon^Cameron, Tha mens Stevens, A H.Keener,^Ualuslia A. Crow aud others, would have^called you aioiie to receive Ills secret in^^structions. It is u matter of public history^that Simon Cameron was mere promi^^nent and efficient than any other Peiiu-^sylvauian in the movement in that state^to giveLincoln a second
termand that on the 14th of^January, leu-l he transmitted to tbe presi^^dent a written request uf the union mem^^ber of tbe Pennsylvania legislature to^accept the renoniiuatiou. 'This and bis^Mihstqueiit open and unvarying report^h it 1.0 doubt of Cameron's altitude.^How was it with you 7^ Nicolay then^quotas a letter from MtC.ure to President^Lincoln, May 1', l'C4, protesting against^the intimation in one or two papers that^be i Met Inn ) was not cordially in favor^of Lincoln's renoinillation aud assuring^bun of cordial support, and continues:^^It was only a month before the conven^^tion you felt called upon to personally^protest against tho accusations of party^disloyalty, but this is not nil; when the^time came to make nominations tor vice^president, Simon Cuiucroii. chairman of^the Pennsylvania delegation and one of^the earliest aud most lacrsistctit friends^of Lincoln himself, nominated Hannibal^lii.nihil for vice president, while the^whole vote of Pennsylvania was oil the^first ballot cast ler Hamlin's reuomina-^tion, so also the Illinois delegation cast^its entire voto for Hamlin on the first^ballot. Does it stand to rta-^son that Lincoln called upon you^to desert Hamlin and nominate^Johnson and guve no intimation^of tbe desire to the chairman of the Penn^^sylvania and Illinois delegations ^ Dare^you venture the assertion that Lincoln^was deceiving Cameron, deceiving Cook,^carrying on a secret intrigue against^Hamlin and another secret intrigue^ugituist Holt, and that, on top of the^whole, ho was writing it deliberate lie to^us^ That lliaV be your conception of^Abraham Lincoln, but it is not mine.

StPacx. July I ^ In the esse of the^Cntted Stales vs. J M. Kaga'i and C. II.^Hohlnge, of the Chicago, St. Paul ^^Kansas City road, on trial for alleged vio
lationof tbe interstate commerce law.^Judge Thayer this morning instructed the^Jury to find for the defendant*.
Tbeevidence in the case shows that at^the time of tbe alleged unlawful sale of^6,(00 tickets, the company bad on sale^and publicly advertised for tbe sale of^two kinds of first class tickets from St.^Paul to Chicago, one ti nned ^unlimited^^ticket which was sold at 11160 and one^termed ^limited^ ticket, which was sold^at s7 each were in reality unlimited, and^hence, that tbe s.xh section of tbe inter^^state act was violated. The court, how^^ever, was satisfied from evidence in the^case that there was a d ffereuce between^the tickets of the unlimited class, under^the company's conditions being entitled^to stop over privileges, while tbe com^^pany in the case of limited tickets re^^set v^ d the right to make continuous pas^^sage, although the tickets sold were not^punched in margin so as to limit tbe^period of use. The judge therefore in^^structed the jury ^to ntquit the defen^^dants on all the counts of indictment.

Appropos of this, the railroat.^officials will issue an order to-morrow^thut will cause no little excitement in this^city in business circles. Fully one-half^of the business hou-es are till railroad^ground, and an order will be served on the^owners to have the sumo removed within^sixty days after the lots are sold. All^tin so buildings huve been on the lots^prior to the passage of the act of con^^gress authorising the selling, and the^merchants will probably either make the^railroad company purchase the buildings^or remain in tin in until they choose to^move. Considerable feeling is evinced^over the coming sale and it is expected^much trouble will be the outcome. Peo^^ple are dl-poscd to bo fair in the matter,^but if their rights are abused no doubt^serious trouble will follow.

Some additional facts in^h eard to the crime were learned by tbe^Sl'anuaki) report! r. The man Grollard or^Gallagher, as appears from some corre^^spondence captured in his room, is not a^novice in crime, having been all inmate^of the slate prison at Deer Lodge, and of^a violent ami dangerous disposition^when under the intluence of drink.^I he woman was tbe wife of^James Hamiebu ry, a miner, said to now^reside at Placer ami comes of a very re^^spectable parentage. Up to a year ago^she lived with her husband, but left him^about that time to elop'^ with Geollard.^She was of very prepossessing appearance^but of dissipated habits, aud tho post^^mortem showed that the tissues of the^braiu had b en much weakened by syphil^^itic und alcoholic poisoning. This fact^may have an important bearing on tbe is^^sue of the trial,as the opinion ist xpressed^by some of the medical men that were it^not for this circuinstanou tbe blow would^not have been sufficient to csusa death,^and tbe prisoner may get off with being^charged only with manslaughter.
