WASHINGTON , December 23 The remarkable -
able utterance last wcok of Chairman Jones ,
of tl e republican natlonnl coiniinttoo , followed
by the caustic rejoinder of Secretary Chnadlei
continues to furnish a , subject for considerable
talk in administration circles , and egret If
expressed that JOUOB should avail himself ol
tlio present occasion to assail Arthur and his
cabinet. The inombeis of the cabinet show
privately their indignation at the false charges
brought against them by the chairman of the
committee and express their opinion that the
gauntlet having been thrown down the inside
lacta connected with the management of the
campaign will now cnmu to light It is well
known hero that quito early in the campaign
Secretary Clmudlur had conferences with
Jones and other members of the committee in
Now York in regard to the canvas * and that
his suggestions were not rccelv od with opi
proval , much lean delight. Chandler was op
posed to wasting money _ in a reckless manner ,
and counselled the president an to the mauagu <
mont of thu funda placed m tlio hands of the
committee.
Ho was also opposed tu sending an agent tc
Tennessee with ( J'Jr , COO to expend thero. lint
M-Jones gave to all suggestions madoacool
reception and Chandler was inado to foe ! that
his advice was not needed , r-ecrotary Teller ,
iu speaking of the statement of Mr. .Tones ,
itaid it wan simply untruth and had no foun
dation. In fact , it was within his knowledge
that every member of the cabinet anxious ! }
doairud tlio success of the republican ticket
and did what they could to bring this result
about. Ho had gone to New York and hat
given the committee some good advice , and
bad this boeu followed defeat would not haw
come. Jones ran tlio campaign according to
hid own ideas and Cleveland was elected. lit
w < a glad that Secretary Chandler had writter
bia latter , as it was about time that tlio ad
ministration should strike back and let cattail
gentlemen know that they cannot with im

road company's property. Mr. Green sai
, hat no objection was made to the valuatio :
of the tangible property of tbo road , but the ;
objected to the tax on the franchise , Mr
jroon contended that the state places BO eligh
a value on the franchise that it gives the rigli
to build a railroad anywhere in the state t
citizens and foreigners alike. Ho thought I
wioiig , in view of the low estimate place
upon railr ad franchisee by the state , fo
the board to estimate the franchise nf th
L'ennbylvania company at 314,000,000. Sena

points made by Mr. Green , entered objection

if Boino of the small branches of the road

card published by B , D. Core , a well-known
cltiron , In reference to the v hit of Mr Moody ,
the evangelist , who has been invited by hun
dreds of citizens to visit this city January 4.
Mr , Core's card says :
During the month of April in the year of
187G , Mr. Moody held a series of revival
meetings _ ln tbo Hippodrome at New York.
Ono of his discourses on that occasion was
characterized by A narrow , sectional , con
tracted prejudice not contonancod In any gen-
t'eman ' , much lo < s in a man professing to
bo full to ovctllowlng with Christian
eraco and charity , Iu tha course of
his remarks it suited his purpose to
Illustrate the character of Jeans Christ
and the Devil , but how ? Ho said , in sub
stance , It was the custom of Jesus Chiiat In
his parables to use na e\ampk" ) tlioso person ? ,
characters , and scenes with which the people
to whom ho wa < speaking were most familiar ,
and , aald ho , "I will do likewise , The rebel
