Everything in both matters seems to bo in suspense awaiting the reception of the investigation com mittee's report to-morrow. Much in terest centres in the testimony which it is expected Davenport will ivo to morrow in relation to Strahen's testi mony about the marslialslnp. It is rumored that Davenport intends going for the stalwarts by telling seine inside-stories about the way in which ho alleges , they manipulated Strahen's ' incident to produce a false effect in public opinion against the adminis tration. The proceedings before the grand juiy to-day amounted to nothing , Ed.

It is rumored that Senator ] Baker and Bramcr will break away from the stalwarts by Wednesday and take with themto the half-breeds four other stalwarts. 1 The stalwarts to- nictht admit that if the half-breeds had secured a second ballot to-day they would have gained four stalwarts. -The stalwarts have called a conference for to-morrow evening to take steps to hold their men together. The break now talked about is something likely to occur at any time , owing , mainly , to the impatience of members to get home. The half-breeds , if a full vote is present to-morrow , will get sixteen moro votes than hereto fore. fore.ExVice Ex-Vice President Wheeler left the city to-day. Ho told an administra tion member they could , under none no circumstances , afford now to allow Dopew to be beaten. He advised a combination , if possible , on Cornell and Depew. Grant Explains. National Associated Prcsa. NEW YORK , Juno 20. Gen. Grant and ex-Senators Conkling and Platt loft the Fifth Avenue hotel at an early ' h'our to-day and proceeded down town on business. Oonklyig's friends stated that his presence would not be required in Albany for tlio present , and he will thus bo afforded an oppor tunity for attending to some legal business in this city , for which ho has been retained. Gen. Grant's de parture was almost unnoticed and ho appeared desirous to escape observa tion. To some friends who called on Grant , thu latter stated that his visit to the city this tim a seemed to have been misunderstood in some directions. Ho came on private business merely. With regard to the senatorial question ho took a lively interest in the strug gle , and while his warmest sympathies were with Conkling , in the contest ho did not intend , as has been stated in some quarters , to take any active part in the conflict. His position on the question was fully understood by Conkling and his friends. General Grant will leave for Long Branch Wednesday evening , but will return to New York City in July and attend to business. The general , when asked this evening if it was true as re ported tnat ho had been in correspon dence with Garfield in regard to the present senatorial struggle , said : "It is true that I received a letter from Garflold before I loft Mexicowhich the press of business prevented mo from responding to. It was couched in very courteous , kind and polite terms and was an expression of General Gar- field's views. It was in reality an an swer to my views as expressed in a let ter to Senator Jones. I am prepar ing a reply to it , which I shall forward to the president. "When completed , will you five it out for publication ? " "No , sir , I will send it to Gen , Garfield - field , and ho can do with it as ho chooses. " ' Have you any objections to let ting the press copy the letter you re ceived from the president , " "I don't consider that I liavo any right to do so , aud if either of the let ters reach the public press , Garfield must give them out. I have no ob jection whatever to their publication , and Mr. Garfield has my free and full consent to liavo them published. It rests entirely with him. " The general said ho had nothing to take back in any interview on the senatorial question already published. He thought Conkling and I'latt have both been badly treated and should be re-elected * "Vdo not think the pres ident ha.s shown them that courtesy which belongs to thorn. If I had boon in Garlk'ld'a place I should have advised with the senators before mnk ing such important appointment as the collector of the port of Now York , " "Was that your custom when you were in the White House ? " "Yes , except in regard to Senator Sutnuer , who was continually finding f.uilt with my administration , He antagonized mo in every possible way and thereby lost claim to senatorial courtesy. " The Stnr-Routo W.i lilngtton Sx | > fbl to The Intt-r iHcan , The very latest bitof news which has been circulating during the past 48 hours for the consolation of Mr. Dorsoy nnd his associates , show to what straits thu ringsters are placed for comfort. The news would ' "be highly important if it was true. Word had been passed alone ; ' tho. line that of foundation for tho'$5t0 yj but as ' ' long as such.talcs.w'ill irtspiro'liopo in the contractors' breasts 'it is hardly worth while to deny them. So. much .has boon printed about ru mored diaagreomonta iiutho .cabinet for the purpose of influencing the pub lic mum , that many\uuiiiforinod per sons are actually of the opinion that there must bb somb foundation for the stories. So far as the prosecution of the star route 'cases nro concerned all of the members' of tho' . . 'cabinet are agreed that" no alone" should : be left unturned to discover whether the aov- urnmcnt has been swindled or not , and if frauds had been . committed that their authors shall bo severely'pun ished. There is neb a shadow of dis cord or difference of opinion among the president's advisors on the subject. The president , the attorney general , and the postmaster general are work ing in complotcst accord on this sub ject , and all reports to the contrary are totally false. Mr. MacVeagh seems to have been singled out by the members of the ring and their friends as a target for maliciously untrue state ments. He is the person most droadcd by the culprits , and they lose no op portunity of striking at him. The statement that he wrote a letter to a Philadelphia editor saying that ho felt 'the sand slipping from under his feet ( meaning that he thought ho would bo compelled to leave the cabinet ( is ut terly without foundation. No mem ber of the cabinet has a moro certain tenure of oftico than the attorney gen eral. His services to the administra- tion-tlius far Jiave Afc7RvaUuii > lo. Mr. MacVeagh appears to have suc ceeded in his present policy. Ho 'has also retained the respect of the sena tors from Pennsylvania. Those who know the inside of the appointment of ym. E. Chandler , and the considera tion that caused the attorney general to express the wish that lie would not be confirmed , now realize that Mr. MaeVeagh's judgment was the voice of wisdom , EPITOMIZED REPORT.

The Daily News , in a leading arti cle says ; "It is not usual or desirable for the foreign secretary to address other goveinmenta on the conduct of their citizens at home , but the circum stances of the skirmishing fund are peculiar.
