WASHINGTON. Unveiling of the Statue Enough Bullion for Present Coinage, &c. Washington, D. C, April 14. There was no Congressional or Committee business to-day. There wa3 a grand procession of colored people and ap propriate proceedings at Lincoln Park, where the statute was unveiled. This occupied the day. The President and some of the Cabinet officers, diploma tic corps and many members of Con gress, and a vast crowd attended. Prof Langstone presided and Fred Doug lass delivered the oration. The Treasury Department purchased ten months' supply of silver bullion a few weeks ago at three cents per ounce below the present rate. This, with the bullion fund, will, it is believed be sufficient for coinage until the annual settlement at the mints in June next. The speakers made no allusions to current politics at the Lincoln Square t-day. NEW YORK. Stewart's Will Determined to Break Up Sunday Drinking Reception of Dom Pedro, &c New York. April 14. The will of A T Stewart, was filed in the Surro' gate's office this afternoon. He be queaths all his property and estate to his wife Cornelia M Stewart and her heirs forever, and appoints Judge Henry Hilton to act in behalf of the estate and in managing his affairs. As a mark of regard, Mr Stewart be- s unauthorized and untrue. The dele gation is controlled by no man, and have expressed no preference. (Signed) Rob't W. Colt, Chairman for and in behalf of dele gation. The State Legislature adjourned sine die this morning. The Case Well Stated. The letter of the Hon. B. H. Hill to J. W. Davidson, of Illinois, concludes as follows : Upon what does the repub lican party propose to live? Upon nothing but sectional hate ! How can it keep alive sectional hate? Solely by bold and persistent misrepresenta tions of the Southern people, and by perpetual appeals to the passions of the war ! There are three hundred thousand people who are crazy to hold and get office in 1876. through the republican party, and they nave no hope of suc cess except by keeping alive sectional hate, by misrepresenting, maligning, and oppressing the Southern people. A Southern representative cannot say anything in Congress which is not instantly misrepresented by a thous and lying tongues Irom this city. 1 never in my life felt or uttered a dis' union sentiment. I opposed secession as no Northern man ever did., for I was in the midst of the storm I op posed, also, subjugation and recon struction as but other forms oi disunion, and as tending to destroy our free institutions. Subjugation and reconstruction were as dangerous to the principles of union as was seces sion to the fact ol union, ana I naye simply been an earnest enemy to disunion in any form. And it does seem impossible for a republican wri ter or sneaker to tell the trutn ol one so humble as myself. I have made one speech in Congress forced to do so in defence of the manhood of my people. I made the defence chiefly from the official records. Perhaps no speech has ever so brought out the bitterness of misrepresentation in the press and leaders of the republican party. They have not only mutilated and garbled the speech, but they have filled their papers with the most un mitigated falsehoods as to my life, habits, character, and anteceeents. 1 have seen circumstantial details pur porting to come from personal ac quaintances, and even quotations from letters and speeches which had not the slightest existence. No truly great statesman can remain in the republican party, for the plain reason that its work is in the past, and not in the future. You might as well expect a man to satisfv hunger and support his system on the memories ol past leasts, as to expect a statesman to lead a party, and maintain the prosperity ol the coun try on the mere memories now pas sions of past achievements. I doubt not. if Mr. Lincoln were living he would be now a zealous Democrat So would be Chase and Sumner and Greeley and Seward. Such Hying statesmen and patriots as David Davis, Lvman Trumbull, Carl bchurz, Uhas F Adsms, and Nathaniel P Banks, can not remain in the republican party. I am watching o see who, in defense of bis self-respect, will leave it next. Thev will be compelled to go. Thieves and demagogues are taking natural, loeical Dossessiou of the Republican party, not to accomplish great works, but to have a general carousal, xney CHOICE FAMILY" GROCERIES.

A World special says Maj;Luoius Eaton, assist ant prsecutihg" Attorney in the St. ouis whiskey fraud trials, was ex amined" by the Select Investigating Committee on that subject to-day. His testimony was similar to that of his colleagues, Dyer, Henderson, and Broadhead. The most important part of bis testimony was the submission of a cody of a letter written to Presi- dent Grant by ex-Collector Ford, of St. Louis, in 1873. This letter, which cannot be obtained for publication, in formed Grant that McDonald, then Supervisor of Internal Revenue, was a .rascal , that he could not be trusted, and had Connived to defraud the gov- ment. After speaking unqualifiedly of McDonald, it alluded to some claim pending before the department in which the President was,, to have an interest.'

The Presidency. A Washington correspondent of the New York Tn- bune,in discussing the probable strength of the republican presidential aspi rants, says present indications promise the following result on the first ballot at Cincinnati : Blaine 256, Morton 180, Hartranft 58, Hayes 44, Conkling 68, Bristow about 75. In this estimate Maryland, Virginia and Delaware are given to Blaine, and West Virginia and the District ol Columbia to Morton, whilst Bristow is given Kentucky, Con necticut and South Carolina, with scattering votes from New York and Massachusetts. This is the way it strikes Mr. Murat Halstead : "The Republicans to assem ble in National Convention in Cincin nati must nominate a man who can carry New York and her flankers, New Jersey and Connecticut, and it is not intelligent to speak conhaentiy oi eitner Mortan or Hayes in that connection. Bristow is the man." Senator Morrill, ol Vermont, is now amusine himself by launching sarcasms aeainst the press. Judge Poland, of the same State, tilted against the press a few months ago, and lor his pains was unhorsed and left politically dead. The voice of a large part of the press has been strong in condemning the re- of Vermont. VERY CHEAP. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS FOUR ACES ! SUGAR CURED HALIS FLASHES.
