CASSIDY ON TIIjDEN. THAT PA01FIO COAST VISITATION. WASHINGTON , May 19. RsprosontA' tivo Cassidy , of Nevada , to-day said the visit of the Pacific coast delegation to Tilden Bomo wcoka since has given rise to many erroneous impressions through out the country. This resulted , ho said , from the fact that all sorts of aliened interviews - torviows wore published broadcast , which never took place at all , with any mem ber of the delegation. Continuing Cas sidy said : "Tho visit to Gramorcy park was prjllELY SOCIAL , and originated in this way : Represent- tivo Spriggs , of Utica district , Now \ork , is an old and intimate friend of Governor Tilden , Judge SprigRS being about to go to Now York , invited mo to accompany him and wo wont together to pay our re spects to the distinguished statesman Later the party was enlarged to include a portion of a delegation from California. As the visit was purely social and wholly ' of propriety it non-political' as a sense was demanded that the delegation should refrain from rushing into print , but Iho object of the visit having been misinterpreted roted and widely misrepresented , 1 fno it is simply just to disclose ALL THAT TOOK PL.U'H. Governor Tilden received the patty with great cordiality and the interview lasted nearly an hour. While its true that one of his arms is nfllictod his general health is remarkably good , not too robust. Tlio governor throw back the heavy folding doors in presence of his visitors and mov ed about with as much activity as a man of forty. Ill's mind is as strong nnd clear as over before in his life , as to his ability to stand the fatigue and excitement of the campaign , I think his chances in that direction will bo as good as these of any other man. The only reference made to 1'OLITICS was when the member of the delegation , addressing Tildon said : 'Governor , wo are all your friends. Wo are all Tildon men , as are all democrats on the Pacific coast. " In reply the governor said : 'I am not a Tildon man , ' which was construed struod by someof the visitors aaadoclara - tion that ho would not bo a candidate for the presidency. For my own part I left Tildon in a firm conviction , judging from all surroundings that ho WOULD GLADLY ACCEPT the nomination if tendered him by the Chicago convention. I may bo mistaken about it , but certainly came away with that opinion. " WASHINGTON NOTES. THE LABOR IIUUEAU. Special Dispatch to THE BEK. WASHINGTON , May 19. While the bill to create a bureau of labor statistics wan before the senate to-day , Senator Van Wycl proposed two amendments , \ a to appoint as commissioner a person identified with labor interests ; the ether to mixko inquiries as to all foreign immi gration under contract , and , said : To make this bill of any value , the chief oflicor should bo 0110 identified with labor. rOUEION LABOH. Why stop at inquiry into Chinese im migration ? Direct it to all foreign labor coming hero under contract. The latter is more destructive of American interests. True it may interfere with the privi lege heretofore exorcised by iron and glass manufactures to supply contract labor from Europe , and thus take the bread from the mouths of our own people. All the labor organizations demand the above amendments. You say they ask for this bill. See to it , when they ask for broad , you do not give them a stono. Wo can and should legislate to day in the interest of labor , and not wait for the creation of any bureau. THE POSTAL TELEOUAPII. Three-fourths of the American people are demanding the establishment of postal-telegraph ; forfeiture of unearned lands by railroads ; the rescue of what is loft of the public domain from the grasp of companies , native or foreign , from fraudulent preemptions , timber culture and desert entries , and reserving the same for homesteads for actual settlors. These and many ether measures impera tively demand , but receive but little at tention in congress. THE UAILUOADH. The result of rccklesj and extravagant legislation at the demand of railroads , is upon us. This panic is worse than com munism. Congress and the courts are responsible. THE COUKTS have been ready to supplement when congress failed to yield to all the do- inauds of greed.

Ingalls , from the committee on judici ary , the bill to establish another judicial by dividing the Eight circuit , which now embraces the dmtriotsof Minnesota , Iowa , Missouri , Nebraska , Kansas , Arkansas and Colorado. The Eighth circuit under this bill includes the district of Nebraska , Kansas , Arkansas and Colorado , The Ninth circuit includes the district of Minnesota , Iowa and Missouri. The chair laid betoro the senate a re solution , ottered Thursday by Morgan , directing the commit too on finance to examine the cauo of the recent failures of the national banks , and whether such failures were duo to violation and evasion of the law on Iho part of officers or directors - , tors of the banks. Merrill moved to amend by substituting fur the purpose of investigation by the comptroller of currency for the finance committee. Mun an 8'iid the very reason why ho moved to dissolve the duty of the com niitteo was because the oflleera appointed to see that thu bankn oumjiluu with the laws had nut performed their duty.

There had been no panic , the people of Now York had not boon alarm ed , the .securities specially alFoctod had boon those involved in transactions ex posed by failures , but the confl uence tn the standiml securities of the country had not Buffered. It was like the case of a storm , confined to the locality of Now York city , and not extending over any ether part of the country. It had resulted in clearing the atmosphere , and he behoved that at present the commercial position was bet ter than before the trouble. Morgan said the fears of the senator from Ohio ( Shotmiui ) were groundless , if ho supposed any injury could come to the proper business of country by the in vestigation proposed. The business of the country did not mean the operations of slock gamblers. Morgan criticised the action of the noctutury of the troaury for his interfer ence in the lalo trouble , and the otlicors of the government generally , for not see ing that the kinking laws were enforced. \Vo might i > well , ho said , farm out the credit of the United States to fnro deal ers of Pennsylvania avenue , as to allow the National lunks of Now York to farm out their crotlit to slock gambling and speculative operators. Tlio resolution was referred to the committee on finance. A resolution was ottered which wont over until to-morrow , directing the committee - mitteo on public lands to make inquiry whether \ the Now Orleans , Baton llotigo and rt Vicksbttn , ' R. R. expended money rC to t influence congressional action. The chair having announced regular order to bo 1i 1 Iho Utah bill , Hoar consented to lot 1i it i go oTortompornrilyand the bill for the creation of a bureau labor statistics was taken t up. Morgan addressed the senate in sup port of Garland's amendment , which places the collection of labor statistics in charge of tlio statistical bureau of the treasury department. Van Wyck moved to amend by requir ing that tlio chief of the bureau should bo a poison identified with the laboring classes aud prohibiting the importation of foreign laborers from any country under contract. Pending the debate on the bill the sen ate went into executive session and soon adjourned. Before adjournment Halo gave notice that to morrow ho would call up thu agricultural appropriation bill. The legislative , executive and judicial bill , as reported by the house , makes the appropriation $20,730,870 , an increase of § 83,190 over the current appropriation. HOUSE. Tlio house then , on Motion of Randal' ' , proceeded with the consideration ot thu appropriation bill * . Cannon moved to recommit the consular and diplomatic appropriation bills with instructions to the committo on appropriations to report bills carrying appropriations similar to those for the current year , with certain specified exceptions.

WilliH thought iho bankruptcy bill should nut be pasHed until the prehidontial elec tion waa over. The bankrupt law was demoralizing nnd promotive of dishon- onty. At this very time Wull street was in a maelstrom ot speculation and great muni's were resting under a shadow of disgrace on account of that speculation. Congress should neb encourage this by the passage of a buikrupt law which would openito as injury to the public morul , and would woik ruin to thous ands of widows and orphans. llnliui'H and Moulton opposed the bill , Collins said ho was not to bo deterred from bin advocacy of the bill by any sug gestion in to the imminence of the presi dential election. Let it coma with all ianuos that might bo involved. Ho dtd not believu tha paaangu of a bankruptcy act would militate against the intercuts of hisHpiuty. The motion was lose.
