EwToEK , May 20 1 a. m. " At
a meeting of the republican centra ]
club , of which Sheridan Shok is
president , held this evening , the fol
lowing resolutions were unanimously
adopted :
Resolved , That the republican club
re-affirms its confidence in the wisdom
and judgment of the president , and
especially commends him for his clear-
less of view and firmness of action m
lis recent defense of his prerogatives
against the attack of the distinguished
ex-senators from this state.
, Resolved , That in the controversy
'orced on the president by these ex-
enators , the president right and
hey are entirely "wrong , and even
'rom their own standpoint obviously
wrong : . The republican members of
he legislature are therefore called
ipon in the interest of the people and
> y every obligation of duty to the
> arty not only not to return these
senators , but to fill these vacancies
with men clearly understanding thu
Luties they owe the state , and who
will not , for alleged personal griev-
inces , antagonize the president.
Speeches in favor of the resolutions
nd against' Senators Conkling and
'latt were made by ex-Judge Dillon
loffer and others.

nolle pros was to-day issued in the
case against Kenward Philp , Charles
A. Byrne , Louis F. Post and Joseph
Bart , indicted -for the forgery of the
Morey letter. Philparose1 and said
that feeling sure of his innocence , oi
the indignities that he had suffered ,
iis acquittal should , come from a jury
after a fair trial. On the preliminary
examination the district attorney had
publicly said that he had overwhel
ming evidence as to the guilt ol
Morey , who wrote' the letter. He
now wanted that averment denied.
District Attorney Rollins said , for the
purpose of having it recorded : "I am
thoroughly impressed with the convic
tion that the forgery of the More ]
letter was a public crime of exceptiona
gravity , and that whoever perpetrate <
it or connived at it or was wilf till ;
concerned in its publication , is deserv
ing of severe punishment , but in the
the absence of evidence sufficient to
show that the defendants were partie
to the forgery , I am unwilling to pros
ecute this indictmant. The entry was
made and the case was dismissed.

CITY OF.MEXICOApril. . 24.
MY , DEAE SENATOR : I see.by the
atest dispatches received hert from the
apital of our country that the dead
ock , in organizing the senate , is not
ret broken and that nothing has been
lone by the president .to allay .the
iitterness which must be engendred by
lis most recent appointments. When
ihe first batch of - nomination for
Sew York was sent , ' , I was
delighted. I believed then , the Pres-
dent had determined to recognize the
epublican party , and not a faction ,
> ut his nominations of the next day
convinced me that the first act was but
a part of a deep laid scheme by soine-
Xdy < to punish prominent leaders for
> eing openly friendly to me. I can
not believe that Gen. jQarfield is the
iuthor of this policy. I give 'him the
credit for being too big a man to des
cend to such modes for punishment
3fjnen who.gave'him a hearty support
n his election and who are disposed
o give the same support now , for the
iffense of having had a former pref-
rence for some one else for the office
which he now holds , but Garfield is.
resident and is responsible for all the
acts of the administration. Conkling
and Platt' are the chosen senators from
he great 'state of- New York" and that
,00 against all the opposition of an
administration created by the same
larty that elected them. This'should

his and. correct his mistake himself
and restore harmony 'to the party. 'He '
owes this to himself and to those with

Mr.E.R. , Paige lectured at/the
Academy of' ' 'Music ' last evening'on
"Perihelia,1' ' the period when the
planets are in position nearest the sun.
Eleven ladies' and
thirty-two gentle
men'listened ' to his grand aggregation
,
/ A > ? * ' ' "
* of compiled , statistics. He said , - nothing
ing new , except a.few , extraordinary
discoveries of-hia own. For instance ,
be * said the World was approaching de
struction at the rate of a second every
two greeks , andhe had made a .fine
calculation and discovered that the
grand bust up would take place 'in
atioui 35,000,000 years , but.he addec
fhat'there was no. doubt that the earth
would kick the bucket five' or ten
millions of years before that date ,
The lecturer didn't seem to mind an ]
such' little period as the difference be
tween five and ten million years. The
audience seemed to consider that they
i.X ,
would be all white-haired and bent be
fore that , period , came , and they
wouldn't'have much more use for the
world then , anyhow. Ho expectec
that before many million years the
moon would have to go out of busi
ness , when it would form a gigantic
circle of cobble stones about the earth.
It'is to be'hoped the paving of our
streets will not bo postponed unti
then. Mr. Paige said thirty days
from 8 o'clock yesterday morning , al
the 'planets would be on a line with
the sun , with the earth at the tail end
of' the cart , the others all tugging a
it. > -
"What it may do , .you can judge as
well as I , " exclaimed the l5cturerane ,
it did seem To be about a ten up
He said there wonldbe sickness.earth
quake , and the devil to pay generally
but as the audience was just getting
into fever heat , the lecturer kindli
assured , all ; hands there wouldn't be
any of it in this country. No objec
tion 'was expressed.
'Behind the. lecturer , was a large
screen , , on which were painted a few
buzz saws , some marbles , and eevera
big foot ball * , an of which Mr. Paige
refe.rre i to row and' then , as worlds
Mwfplanets , 'and other .trappings , o

* tPsige " > ha a < &a& memory fo
big figures , , and things that he has
read , but ss a scientific lecturer , he is
as mucE out of , place as a rhinoceros
leading an orchestra.
The lecture wound up with a grant
assault on Christianity and its teach
ings. Mr. Paige was careful to keep
this till the last , else his vast audience
mighthave speedily dwindled away to
his own-dear self.
