Ho did not threaten Rerdell with any letters. The witness had Been Gen. Garfield in the presence of Col. Ingersoll , but the witness did not be lle va the Rordoll had gone to MJ- Yeogh and James when ho first heard of it. Ho could not remember wheth er ho had prepared any part of Her- doll's retracting affidavit. When asked whether ho had not Bought to use the affidavit to secure the removal of Jamea and MoVeagh , charging them with burglary and other heinous offdnses in 'seeking' to procure his ( Dorsey'a ) books and papers to be stolen , Doroey defiantly declared f He ihad done every thing he could to secure their removal , and that the charges in the affidavit wore true and that Governor Foator , of Ohio , had told the president substantially the same thing , and had said , those offi cers oui ht to be removed. " The wit ness' opinion was that if the prealdent had lived another week he would have followed that advice. He Indignantly repelled the assumption that he had aoncrltt any protection from Jamea and MoVoagh , and asked .if the council believed "that a pismire could hurt an elephant.

The presl dent has appointed the following posl master : Jos. Klrkpatrlok , Dillon M. T. MONETARY MATTEH3. The total amount of bonds ofTore for redemption in response to th Treasury deparment's circular prc vidlng for the ptvment of bonds on braced In the 120th call Is $2,000 , 200 The circular gave notice thn $5,000,000 of these bonds are to b redeemed on the 4th Instac in the order of their presentatlot The total amount of , bonds preseute since the laaue of the'circular is enl $635,200. The ether bonds to be n doomed are those held by the state < New York , amounting to $2,2C5(00 ( which were surrendered for redem ] tlon , with Interest to date of paymen several days before the circular was ii sued. The above mentioned facts ai construed by the cllnlals of the treat ury department ixs Indtaitlnc ; that tl reported stringency In the mom market was more fictitious than roa ENGRAVING AND 1'RINTINO. As Indicated In thoao dltpitchi a short tlmo ago , Secretary Folgoi hi t appointed 0pt. T. M. Bnrrlll , of No York , chief of the bureau of cngra Ing mid printing , to succeed the la Col. Irian. The now chief h a town man of the aecratary , being a cltlz : of Geneva , and for the past year ai a half his oosnpiod the position pgrchaslng tipcat for the buroa Capt. Burrlll made a good reco during the late war , and at tl close was made a capta in the regular army. He did not i main long in the service vfter aotl operations ceased , but reilgnod 1 commission and eng&ged In buslnc in New York.

WASHINGTON , April 3. It is re ported that while Meaarr. Carlisle and Randall have been undecided aa to which should have the apeakorship of the next house , Mr. S. b , Cox , of Now York , hai boon quietly at work , and to the surprise ot the politicians , enters the ring with the balance of power already at his com * mand. It appears that no lass than seventeen votes are pledged from Now York to their favorite statesman , nnd nil but three in Ohio nre pronounced "all rightTo swell this force It Ii understood that Mr. Holman'a friend * are counted upon , the objector from Indiana himself having retired from the contest various accretions to the Cox phalanx nro promised from the south , notably Tex a and Missouri , and , with the execu tion of lloseorana , the Pacific elope la said to bo solid in his favor. The Illinois delegation Is claimed by Cox's frlonda after a vote for Sprlngor , except Mr. Morrlaun , who la reported to be for Carlisle first and last. The Irlah-Amerlciin mombera Robinson , Flnerty , and ono or two others are counted as safe for Cox by the logic of events , ho having vied with them in pulling the caudal extremity of the British lion for the past ten yoara. Mr. Cxx'a frlonda maintain that the apcakorahip should go to New York this tiino by rights , because the state has not had the oflicu for alxty-threa years , when by a coin cidence it was held by an uncle of their candidate. lu addition to ether claims the Insist that the democratic party should loao no opportunity to fasten itself in the affections of the people of that atato , for upon it will probably hinge'tho .next presidential election. Erory effort ahonld bo made to tempt the democratic hosts to valiant deeds by preliminary taste of federal apolls at the handi of their own party. They fully expect to fall heir to the administration of the gov ernment in 1884 , and they think that with Mr. Cox in the chair much could be done to bring about the doaired re sult. In short , Mr. GJX is alleged to have quite a "boom , " which has been quietly nursed to dlgnlfidd proper * t.ona. . * OUR PORK IN FRANCE. Consul Wilson , of Nantes , in a com ! mnnloatlon to the state department , asserts that "Interested Influences" wore brought to boar to secure the pro- hibltiun of American pork in France. He nays ho finds extending through the business community general and widespread dislike for nnd opposition tc the American tariff , so far aa it maj nff < iot any articles exported iron France , and also a disposl 1 tion to retaliate , and that thii I feeling of dislike and opposition la in 'tencifiod ' by the alt nation In regard t < American pork , . here , " he addlril shoVnl , willingness , to retaliate. % ' Hi gave a reanmo of history report * mad by interested persons to secure legls latlvo interposition between the fail- I ing French pork trade and Amerloai > competition from 1877 ta dateani I Btrjongly intimates that representation made to the minister of agricnllur nnd commerce by French pork dealers 9 rather than any objection to the qnal Ity of American pork , caused the issu auce of the decree of prohibition.
