A Bcilin paper has just ended the publica
tion of a seiies of curious letters from King
Ludwigto his favoiite Kaln/ . They are dated
IhwJnnd KSt , being wiltten In the high llown
and gushing sliuln which the mad monaich
habitually affected. The llrst epistle , which
was wiltten on the anniversary ot Sehillei's
bltthday , is n letter of reconciliation sent
after some coldness between the king
and KalnIt begins :
TUP. rin T KPIVTI.I : .
Dear ilcrr KalnIt Is just a year and a
half since you transposed mo ami Illlcaniu
with a lofty enthusiasm by your never-to-be-
forgotten third performance ol ! Dldler in
"Marlon Do Lorme , " and after a long silence
I feel impelled to wilto to joii once more. In
your last dear letter you say : "Though wild
spasms of ten rend my hcait. " It is true ;
verily , your heart Is Into and noble. 1
never doubted It at all. Heavenly bless
ings on your dear head. Oh may you
never cease to think kindly of
mo and he true I Oh , do not let devotion to
your glorious art Injure your dear health.
Late thoiililt ! be for 1 have been leading

blilhdayof tlio great poet , whoso sublime
work brightened our stay in beautiful Swit-
/eiland and lifted us to the stars without in
thought giving a heaity , motherly and
friendly hand and .sending you a thousand
of wannest greetings.

A KIIAPSOPY.
The. opening of the next letter published Is
dated the IStli of November , 1 'J. It is
hugely devoted to n rhapsody over Schiller's
"Calmlo und Llcbo. " The letter continues
thus : "Rest assured I often think ol what ,
us you wrote in ono of your loiters at the be
ginning of this month , so often recurs
to my mind , how ono little word
wiped out all differences of rank which
human laws had placed between us. " This
appears to refer to a request once made to
llerr Kalnz by the king that lie would drop
the second person plural talking to him when
no strniiL'ers were by and use the familiar du.
cii.isriAi : , ui.Kbsi.vds INVOKEW.
Tlio last published letter Is largely dovotcd
to a criticism of Krastel , the actor who had
played before the king In "Wllbctm Tell. "
"Do not take llerr Kiastol as your model in
all thlncs , " vviiles poor Ludvvlg , and then re
verting to ills usual lyiicism , ho once
more Invokes n series of ccfestia !
blessings on Kainz's head. Ho thank *
the actor for having condescended
to accept the present of a costly casket which
ho had sent him to keep the manarch's letters
in. To judge from these eplstolatory speci
meiis , the casket was a good deal more vahia
bio than its contents. The correspondence
has , however , served Its purpose , and has
given the Beillners something to laugh at
although the letters had to bo much ex
purgatcd and thu manuscripts carefully cd
ited. '

follows : "The Gladstoniaiis have won

Gratuitous Advlcu to Americans.
LONDON , July li The duke of Argyle
publishes In to-day's Times a letter concern
ing the United States and lieland. He says ,
dc.splto the nation's sympathies , there is a
piotound Ignorance in Kngland and thu
United States respecting each other's consti
tution. He admits Ids own ignorance nt thu
beglnnlnz of the American civil war In sym
pathising with the south. Ho s-ay.s the sym
pathy ot Ameiicans lor the Irish in their
pieseut struggle arises from tlio error of
thinking of lieland as nn American state ,
and that the English aio withholding from
lieland powcis similar to these possessed by
tlio dilVcient states of the Ameiican union.
"Nothing , " says the duke , "should bo more
erroneous than this. " Kofcrring to the
right of each of the United States to
n duo share ot the General powers of
COIIRIOSS and to thu check in its power of
selt-ioveniiiioiit which each state allows , he
says Gladstone's pioposal violates both these
grand principles , for "tho conupt and im
moral barcain banishes Ireland from the im
perial council and surrenders tlio minoiity
into the hands of the local majority. '
"Americans , " lieadds , "would , perhaps , baid-
ly believe this , but It is strictlv tine. The pie-
tended limitations and restraints acalnst lo-
ca 1 tyianny are quite illusory. " The duke
then appeals to Americans to clearly under
stand the unionist intentions , namely , that it
has been for Ireland's sake solely that tlio
unionists have elvcn opposition to Glad
stone's Irish scheme ,
Parliamentary K lections.

ciates or assigns , for past , present or future
woik at the mouths of the .Mississippi river
until further oidered by eongies.s. Kefened.
Thoj-cuato le.suincil consideration of the

beigcr last .Satindav not being Interposed ,
the M'liato bill to prevent obstructive and in
jurious deposits within the haibors nnd ailja-
cent waters ot New Toil : City , by diimplnc
orotheiwi-iO , was taken up at the request of
Mr. .Miller and parsed.
On motion of Mr. Hoar the commltlco on
privileges and elections received pel mission
to sit dining the sessions of the senate. It is
understood that this Is in connection with tbe
coiisidetation ot the Payne ewe.
The house bill graiitini : pension.1) ) to sol
diers and sailois ol the Mexican war was
leached on the calendar and an objection
was made by M r. Teller. But on tin appeal to
him by Mr. Wilson df Iowa , and on the
statement by Mr , Hauls that no democratic
senator would consume any time In discuss-
Ilia the bill , the objection was withdrawn.
The bill WHS then considered and passed. The
bill as passed directs the secietaty of the in-
teiior to place on the pension toll the names
of surviving olllceis and enlisted menInclud
ing mailncs , mtlitmand volunteers.
The senate then resinned consideration of
the liver and baibor appropriation bill , the
pending question being on the Honncpin
canal and Michigan and Illinois canal amend
ment.
Mr. Allison argued in favor of the amend
ment. He believed it to bens iinpnitanta
piovislon as tlieie was in the bill , with but
lew exceptions there was no more merit
orious proposition than this one. No other
civilized government on eaith would have so
lout : neglected tills great onpoitunity of the
connection of the Mississippi ilver nnd its
tiibiitarlos with tbo great chain of nortliein
lakes except the government ol the United
States. He believed that some men who lis
tened to him would see the time when vessels
ol war would be. ttansported from the ninth-
wtNtein lakes to the Mississippi liver ami
Kiilf tlnoiigh the wateiway of the Illinois and
Michigan e.mal. He denied that canals weie
glowing obsolete. On the contrary , all the
great governments of Kuiope weio spending
many millions of dollais In consti tiding and
enlargjmr canals. Kveiy civlli/.ed govcin-
iiient was utilizing wnterwajs by connecting
rivers and lakes by canal in order that bulky
products might be transported more cheaply
than by rail. That was all there was in this
pioject. He believed that it would tesiilt in
tlio annual saving of more than Its entire
cost.
cost.Mr. . Cullom also advocated the amendment
and gave some explanations in answer to thu
questions of Mr. Ila.vley as to some ot the
eimineering problems involved.
Mr. Platt opposed the amendment.
Mr. Vest believed this amendment to bo
the avant couiierof the preposition to unload
the Krio canal on the gcneial government.
He was sick and tired ot having the commit
tee on commerce made tlio dumping grounds
of every sickly , broken-down scheme of in
ternal Improvement.
Mr. Plumb argued against the amendment.
Ho calculated that at the rate ot StO.OOO a
year , as proposed in the amendment , it would
require tliiity or forty years to complete the
woik. In the comsi ) ot his argument he com
mented upon the failure ot the work on ( ! al-
veston hiubor. and said that the government
had been sending army engineers to school
there at a cost ol several million dollars. The
whole system was wrong. Army engineers
lacked tlio judgment and professional skill
that were necessary , and whatever success
they did have in such woiks was the result of
their employment oi engineers In civil life.
Ho complained that the whole business ot
public works carried on In the war depart
ment was managed in a Slipshod way , mil
lions being spent for material and no account
kept of it. As to the Henncpln canal , ho
complained that army engineers had planned
totalD ; it acioss hleh divides which might be
avoided bv diverting lines a few miloj south-
waid. The trouble with thcsu high-priced ,
wall papered engineers , fresh from school ,
was that they always wanted to do some
outre , imptactlcablo tilings. But the meat ob
jection to all thcso woiks was that Instead
of sulllclcnt appropriation being made ,
money was spent in driblets.
Finally the discussion closed nnd the senate -
ate proceeded to vote on tlio amendment. It
vvasagteed to yeas. 31 ; nays. 22 as follows :

n Conspiracy linpUciilltiK
Aitbur nnd Colliding ,
Tlio Plot Was Oititcnu'H.
WASHINGTON , July 12. [ Special to the
Bii : : . ] IVonlo In Washington who know
most about the affairs which surtounded
President Garlield at the time of his assassin
ation , and who have kept well informed as to
the woiklngs of the two great factious In the
republican party , ami who , too , attended the
trial of the assassin , Gtiltcau , decline the
stoilo-i published In connection with the
death of the late United States District At
torney Corkhill , to tlio effect that the assassin
had accomplices , the veilest kind of rot. No
one hcio believes that any one had the
slightest idea of the nssassluation before it
look place other than Guiteau , and o very-
body believes that that miserable wretch
would have "peached" on anyone who was
lu collusion with him tlio vcryllist opportu
nity lie had ,
Guiteau was a notorious coward and wholly
destitute of principle , and ho would have
spaied no means at ids command to turn the
tide In his favor at any time during the trial.
He lairly ached to draw somebody into the
tilnl with him and divctt the responsibility
from himself. But the theory that Guiteau
had accomplices , or was encouraged in his
fiendish woik , was sifted to its bottom uy the
very best detectives in the countiy , aud by
men who had every facility In the way of so
cial and political associations to do so. Your
correspondent had ti long talk to-day with
ono of the piinclpal defendants in the famous
star route trials , and lie exploded the Idea
that anybody except Guiteau bad anything to
do with the kllllnc of Garlield.
"At one during the star route trials , " said
Ibis gentleman , "there was a great deal said
about tills tiling of Guiteau not buing solely
responsible for the death of Garlield. There
were mean and contemptible bints that Pres
ident Aitliur nnd ex-Senator Coiikllug knew
something , and should bo on tilat with
Guiteau. At that time General Btady and
ex-Senalor Dorscy weie winching under
what they conceived to be personal per
secution. and while both had a hlirh re-
gtud for Mr. Colliding , each despised Mr.
Aitliur. At a a conleietice held one even
ing , at which both of tbeso star loute kings
or their representatives weio present , the
matter of Guiteau's alleged accomplices was
brought up and discussed. I remember that
General Brady declared the insinuation that
either Aitliur or Conl < liii was In any degree
responsible was basely false , and that no ono
but a villain would accuse them of it. He
said that he ami Mr. Dorsey hud been inti
mately associated witli the frlcmls ol these
men , and with Arthur and Colliding them
selves , and that after weeks of the most dili
gent watchliilne-js , and the assistance of a
number of the shrewdest detectives In the
country , they had been tinablo to find tbo
slightest clew. He believed that if they , with
tlieir social and political ties , and the woik
of tlieir detectives , weie unabid to trace this
thing , there was nothing in it. "
"You sec. " continued the gentleman , "it
would have been u big card for the filar .route
men if tiiey could have uneailhed a conspi
racy to the assassination. H would have freed"
them and turned the current of public opin
ion fiom them. Well , at the meeting 1 speak
of , H was determined that renewed ellorts
should bo made to get a thread ot the conspi
racy , if one existed , and although Biady and
Dor-soy neither believed in it , their ma
chinery was again put to worts.
Months of woik failed to re
sult ih the slightest discoveiy.
At tuo same time tills investigation , deep and
scorching , wnsgoing on , thogoveinmunt was
tryiiii : to solve the mj story , if one existed. I
doubt If ever a more eainest , patient , far-
reachingund fiiiilless Investigation was ever
made ol aiivthmg. I know , too , that tlio
most diligent elfoit was put forth by the fam
ily of Guiteau to patch up a sensation in this
dheetfon , but that the assassin was so com
pletely destitute of material to work upon
that the diabolical plot was an utter failure.
No ono but Guiteau was responsible , lor the
assassination ol Garfi'ild. "
Ho Pardons n Dunk President But
Not u 1'oiislon Atfent.
x , July 12. The president has
paidoned IS. Poiter Leo , now confined In the
Bulfalo penitentiary for embezzlement. The
following is the president's memorandum in
rcgaid to the case :
The convict was sentenced In November ,
ISti-J. at Syracuse , in New York , to bo con
fined in the penitentiary at Bullalo fora term
of ten years , upon conviction lor embez/llng
funds of the Fhst National bank ot Buffalo ,
while ho was president thereof. While this
Is a statutory offense , and somewhat technical
in its character , the public are so much Inter
ested in the sccmityof our banking institu
tions , and such strict faitli and cate should
bo demanded ot those having them In chaige ,
that 1 a ni much disinclined to extend clem-
encv to these found guilty of olfeiiFos like
thai of which this pnsoner was convicted.
I am entirely familiar with this
case and the pilsoner a long time
before Ills convention. His sentence was
generally legarded at the time It was pio-
nounccd as a veiy severe one , bolng the full
extent of the law. With tlio commutation
allowed in the state ot Now York for good
conduct In prison , he has served a sentence
of five yoais , and Itls entirely eeitaln In my
mind that whatevorgood Is ever to bo wrought
upon him has already been accomplished.
At tbe tiiiio of his conviction his wile , n
noble , courageous and devoted woman , and
live small children , were sad sullerers lor his
crime , and exacted the smpathy of the entire
community , By her patient , haul labor to
support the children , and her never falling
tinst and hope in the darkest days.
this wife has demonstrated that
she at least Is entitled to clemency , 1 am glad
to bo able to lestoro to her her husband , nnd
to bo satisfied nt thu same time that the ends
of justice are fully uw aided.
( inovin : CiEvriAND. :
The president has denied the application
lor a paidon In the case of James Mellon , now
undergoing sentence for demanding andie-
talnlng excessive fees for prosecuting pen
slon cases. The president In passing on the
case , says :
The offense for which this pilsoner was
convicted consisted in extolling from a sol
dier for ptociiilng his pension SGOO , when hu
was only entitled to $10. This crime Is a
serious ono and Its bad conquenccs are fur
leaching , Involving extortion from soldiers
who put themselves in the power of punsion
agents and leading to ci ( initial practices in
the procurement of pensions. The pcoplo
who make It a business to ptocuio pensions
uro often of such a character us to need all
the lestiaiut and , vvhon guilty , all the pun
ishment they receive.
