THE SCARLET tETTER. Notwithstanding the emphatic de nial made by Senator Dawes Tuesday niRht , the letter telegraphed from hero Monday night In which the pres ident expresses hii views very freely regarding the efforts of the republican senators to elect as secretary of the senate a man who is dhlly assailing bath himself and the administration genuine , excepting the latter part which refers to Robertoon'a nomina- ? ' hla does not aPPeir in e letter. The president does not heii- tatoto acknowledge the letter and Bays ho will stand by it to the end. Ho Is not to be frightened from his purpoee to do what he considers to be fet the best interests of the country As to ROBERTSON'S NOMINATION , while no reference is made to It in the ! aU tJto.Seii8tor Dawes. the president mind very freely to the caucus com- mittne on thn subject of that and other nominations and the preroga tive of the executive ofihe. The president holds that he has done h'3 duty to the best of his ability in se lecting good and efficient men lo fill certain offices. He sent their names to the senate for the action of that body. It remains now for the eenato to do U * best In a straightforward way , without attempting to coerce the executive into doing that which neither his judgmentnor his conscience can approve , viz : withdraw certain nominations simply because they are personally objectionable to a few sen ators. The president has the best in terests of Ms party at heart , and will do all ho can in an honorable way to promote that Interest , but ho can cot and will not submit to being bullied. TWINKLING STARS. For some dt > vs past , certain parties connected with the alleged Irregnlarl- I ties in the star mail service , have been hinting at a damaging letter written by the president to J. A. Hnbbell , chairman of the republican congres sional committee. They had threatened publication ot the letter , provided the president did not let np on the invca- tigition. The letter in question wra exhibited In Washington last week tea a few newspaper gentlemen , but none of them care to publish it. Yester day morning the letter was published In the telegraph columns in The Post , dated as C3raing from Chicago. The letter is genuine , and was written by the president. He acknowledges it to fee his letter and say a that ho stands by it as ho docs by Dawes' let ter. The facts as to how the loiter came to be written are about as fol lows : It eeemc that in the spring campaign of last year General Brady , being anxious to show his zaal in the republican cause and to c-intrlbnte us much material support as possible , belhought himself to call on the ' I mail contractors to contribute to the campaign. In this suggestion ho was aided by Hubbell , who thought it would b "tho thing. " Gen. Brady , who seemed always to bo looking ahead , possibly for breakers , sug gested that a request from Gen. Gar- Geld would moat probably induce the contractors to come down hand somely. Acting in this sugges tion Hnbbell went to Mentor to see General Gar Geld and tried to persuade him to write such a request , but this the General refused to do. Subsequently Hubbell wrotean urgent appeal to General Garfield and elicted the brief letter published this morning , and which seems to have been relied npon by the star route par ties as the petard for hoisting the ad ministration Into an unenviable no toriety. -There is nothing In the letter thai any presidential candidate might not write at the solicitation of one of 'the managers of his political party , yet reference was made to this letter in the republican caucus as one that the if president could not meet ; that iti damaging disclosure would ruin him itc , , and yet the president DARES TO MEET IT , n and own ho wrote It. If any oni thinks that the president can bo deterred terred by threats or avea persuaded t < forego a thorough Investigation of thi star route servica , he is mistaken. .11 Theprcsldent has made uphismindi push his Investigation to the end ace to punish , If possible , to the foil ex tent of the hw all who are fonn < guilty of auy criminal act. He intend also to have all departments of th government thorouchly overhauled to get rid of all dead-wood , and , as h puts It , "to Infuse'ncw blood into th . civil service. " Consequently it wll B be a wlto thing for the heads of bui eans and clerks lo get their desks in good order as soon as possible. Senat ? . WASHINGTON , Msy 5. The senate went into executive session immedi ately lifter the reading of the record this morning. The discussion of the Chinese treaties was at once resumed. The nominations of IXobertson , Matthews and Chandler still awat consideration. The senate , iu executive session , confirmed nominations u follows , Wm. Walter Phelps , of New Jersay , minister to Austria ; Cortez Fessen- den , of Home , Mich. , United S'atea ' surveyor general of Dakota ; Klchard Montgomery , to bo receiver of public moneys at Bloomington , Mich. ; Selden M. Bronson , to be postmaster at Menasha , Winnebago county , Wis. , . " * The speeches -mado In oxecutiv Bessibn this afternoon were none o them lobjj. Tne principal speaker wore Senators Hawley , Bursside an < Miller , and it waa due in a gre . I measure to the forcible manner in wIUch these gentlemen put the mittei that th opposition to the Chinese im- mlgratiSn treaty was so slight. Not even four , as Erst stated , voted against it , the only opposing votes be- irig thosa of Seuatora DJIWCS and lloar , both of Massachusetts. Debate on the Chinese commercial treaty didfnot consume moro than an hour. The objections of the few New England aenatora were over whelmed by arguments in favor of the treaty , and it was adopted with only a half dozn dissenting voJcas. The balance of the session waa con sumed in confirmations of abont one hundred nominations , tccordlnc to the list. A message from the president with drawing nominations , creatad quito a sensation , but being accompanied by no request , no public comment was made , and the Robertson nomination was not alluded to. At 4:30 : the a juato came out of ex ecutive session and adjourned till 12 to-morrow. CONFIRMATIONS. The confirmations by the senate to day were as follows : Nathan W.

NEW YORK'S SENSATION The French Troupe Which Mme , Tournie Says Mme , Ambre Broke Up. How M. Ambre Put Too Much Realism in His Part. And Then Said That He Would Do It in Spite of the Devil , NEW YORK , May 6 1 a. , m. The elopement of Mme Ambre still affords the most interesting gossip. Versions of bcth sides of this singular caee have been already published , but a reporter wai fortunate enough to obtain an In terview with Madam Tournie , the wife of the truant Lothario. Madam Tonrnie is of medium height , stout and with regular features that are made additionally attractive by a pair of largo blue eyes , which the lady well knows how to use. She showed signs of the excitement she had endured the past few days and her nervousness still indicated that she was far from being satisfied with her present con dition. Madam Tournlo sa'.d in subatanca as follows : "I have been married to M. Tonrnio only for about three yeais. Previous to this ho was my very dear friend , whom I liked very much. He has alwtfys shown me the greatest at- j tuution until he met this woman , Ambre , who , though considerably older thso ho Is , yet continued to throw a gleam over him aud won his affections from me. I first noticed this when we were playing in New Orleans. He seemed to make love In the most earnest manner on the stage and I mentioned it to him , but he shrugged his ahnuldera and said that it wes neceBsaiy to put some realism IntoHho part. This was not the only thing to attract my attention. Amore himself used to show him various lit tle attentions which conviced me that ill waa not smooth. "When wo were traveling my hus- 3ind waa continually with M. de Beauplan and his wife , and when Dd Beauplan would leave the carriage my lusband always mancged to got a lit- lo closer to Ambro. I noticed till ? , ind told my husband I would stand it 10 longer ; whereupon he told me he Tould do as he pleased in spite of tbe levil himself. When wo reached Sfow York the affair became so bud hat the members of the company isad to remark it , and I had to on- lure alltheir sneers and jokes. I lid not speak to him about it again , ) nt let the matter drift as It would ill night before bat , when the cli- nax camo. "I am going to remain In Now fork another week and then I shall ail for Frauca and go to my hus- ibo Influenced Mr. Beauplan In hia nanner of acting with us. If it had lot been for her everything would lave sailed along smoothly and we TOtild have been playiug to full louses In Now York , but she spoiled it oil. She Is a perfect fiend and likes Lrouble , purely for trouble's sake. "Tho worst featnro of the whole lEatler is that there are about eight members of the troupe who are abso lutely destitute. Some had to sleep In Madison street square because they did not have money enough to pay for their lodging. Oh , yes , Ambro ia M. Do Beauplan's wife and his father , Count Beauplan , disowned him bo- cauao ho married her. She has ruin ed other men in the same way and aho Is in a fair way to destroy all Da- Beauplan's hopes of reconciliation with hla father. Ambro la very rich and Beauplan la also wealthy , but hii fortune la invested In real estate about Paris , and its disposition would bo very difficult unless it bo atlendod In penon. I don't expect M. Do B. to piy the salaries when the company reaphos France , if it over does. think ho will leave Franca and rusti cate for a while where his lovely wife can't ba running away with other people's husbands. The fair Mmo. Ambre writes the following letter in her own behalf to < ho editor of Iho Courier dea Etats Unls , of which the following is a translation : NEW YORK , May 4. MONSIER Emiou : I am exceed ingly astonished to road In the news papers stories of my flight with Mon ster Tournie. It is absolutely false , and 1 formally brand It ai a lie. I have been all the time in Now York. I left the hotel where I had boon s'aying , It la true , and If I do not glvo my ne-w address It is in order ' , o avoid the presence of , ho unhappy and broken-hearted people whom I can no longer relieve. 1 am conscious of having done my duty to the utmost of my power , having lost in Mr. DeBeanplan's un dertaking and without being in the lightest degree responsible the sum if $75,000 , besides my salary for six montha. In this loea I do not include .hat of my jewels , which are pledged 'or 54,000. As to M. Tournie , whether ho left the city alone or not does not concern me. Ono thing I know that concerns me , ia that Mme Tontnlo might have taken the trouble o be better informed before starting a Ecandaloas story which might costhei dear. No ; M. Da Beauplan and my self entert&iu for her husband the highest regard and esteem , which h due aim. Hoping , Monsieur , that yen will extend a favorable reception to this letter , ! beg yon to receive the assurance of my distinguished consid eration. ( Signed ) EJILUE AMBRE. It will be noticed , however , that this letter Is dated May 4 , audit ii further claimed by all parties Inter ested that the departure of Mme Ambre and M. Tourlne simultaneous ly Is , to say the least , singularly coin cidontal. AN ELOPEMENT , SURE. The latest doveloporaenta In thi matter of the elopement of Mme Ambre , wife of the manager of th French opera company , with M Tonrnio , the toner , are that th couple went from Westminster boh to the Pamllco restaurant wit their baggage.

THE DEMON OF DREAD European Morarchiea Permeat ed With the Nightmare of Nihilism. The Impenetrable Mystery of the Organization Baffles All Governments. Russia Not Alone ia the Clutches of the Revolution ary Agents. A Series of Bloody Tragedies Momentarily Expected Other Foreign Items. TERRIFIED THRONES. VIENNA , May 5 4 p. m. Beneath the pomp attending preparations for fetes , on the entry of Princess Stepha nie Into Vienna Monday next and the marriage the following day there is an under-current of terror based on the belief ot a general recolntlonary movement of nihilists in Russia , Austria , Germany and Italy. The nihilists are perfectly organized and In complete com- municatlan , led by Intellects close to every throne in Europe , and able to forecast and thwart every government movement and organizi- tion.
