Three years ago John R. McLean, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, from a friend of Pendleton’s turned to enemy, and began preparing for the scene that has been enacted here to-night. The cause of McLean’s sudden turn, of his discharge of young Spear. Pendleton’s protege, who was his editor, was of a family nature, growing out of the Senator’s disinclination to permit the young editor to “pay attention” to his daughter Mary. McLean, always ambitious as a political boss, now redoubled his zeal. With cruel genius he niranged his plans for revenge, and with wonderful energy he has carried them to a successful termination. There is a joyful wake in the Enquirer office tonight. The first thing McLean needed was plenty of money. He wanted it quick, and wanted it bad. and got it It is quite certain that he made at least $400,000 by one lucky deal in Wall street, and it is almost equally certain that he was given the correct pointer at the proper moment by Mr. •Jay G<uld. in return for certain personal and professional services of Mr. McLean in connection with Ohio & Mississippi railway litigation, and reorganization. The next thing was solo and undisturbed possession of the Enquirer newspaper, which was secured almost immediately after the abovementioned Wall-street deal became known to the public, and the words “John JL McLean’’ appeared in place of "The Enquirer Company” at the head of the sheet. Then he began to tighten liis grip on the party organization and official patronage of his native city. He formed an alliance with Lawyer Tom Campbell, one of the Republican bosses of Cincinnati: Campbell's local power was to bo used for McLean’s benefit, and McLeans influence ■with the Democratic Legislature in the way of reorganizing Cincinnati government boards in such manner that Campbell s friends would not be hurt. in 1881 McLean led the fight of “the kids” for Book waiter, a statesman discovered and trotted out by a member of the Enquirer staff. Book * waiter was rich and ambitious, and McLean hoped to push him to the front and block Pendleton’s pathway with him. his own creature. But the fates willed otherwise. Bookwalter being beateu at the polls. Last year came the final struggle in Hamilton county. McLean and his cohorts attempted to nominate Durbin Ward for Governor, but were beaten by Hoadly. The latter was backed in the whole northern part of the State by the Paynes, and to them he owed his nomination. It was McLean’s intention‘to make Ward Governor and then senator, but, failing in that, lie traded his delegates from Hamilton for control of Die central Committee. It was not the governorship he wanted, except as a mo;.ns to satisfy his all-con-suming ambition to defeat Pendleton, and so McLean’s hostility to Hoadly continued after the nomination, with this object in view, to force Homily into promising, before witnesses, that he would keep hands off the senatorial fight, not I only in Hamilton county, where he could have given McLean much trouble, but everywhere. This promise was brought about by tlio intervention of the Paynes, through the agency of their trusted lieutenant, Dave Page. McLean agreed to b“hayc himself. Hoadly agreed to be neutral in the senatorial light, and the campaign progressed. All the money the Democrats had came from the Paynes, except SI,OOO from Bookwaller. SSOO from McLean, and the. assessments upon candidates. The Paynes carried the campaign in every way, and to them Hoadly owes fas election as well*as his nomination, and Democracy its general and legislative triumph. In Hamilton county McLean had fixed the convention to nominate anti-Pendleton men for the Legislature; in Franklin county (Columbus) his aide-de-camp, Allen O. Myers, had done the same thing: tin* Paynes had attended to Cuyahoga”and two-score more other counties, and the election wa no sooner over than the Payne man- j agers knew they were all right. Payne money had paid the campaign expenses of more than a dozen close run Democratic candidates. The next thing is the presidency, and Randall, Til den, Hoadly or Payne will be the favored man of the combination. Henry B. Payne will, peiiiaps. be put to the front as the head of the moderate protectionist element of Democracy, os a man upon whom all can unite, ho being a com promise between Carlisle and Randall. A POLITICAL REMINISCENCE. Tlio Defeat of Vallaiuligluixn by the Friends of Pendleton. J. U. McOullatrh, in St. Louis Globe-Democrat, If the w hirligig of time brings in his revenges to the other world as to this, the spirit of Clement li. Vallandigham is hovering over Columbus about this time, happy and smiling over the prospect of Mr. Pendleton’s defeat. The gratification of Pendleton’s ambition sixteen years ago cost Vallandigham a seat in, the United States Senate in 1860, and his lifo in 1871. He died by hie own hand, at Hamilton, O. The newspapers of the time triod to show that the shot which killed him was accidental. He was engaged in defending a murder case. Ho went out one morning to test a certain theory in regard to the discharge of a pistol, for the purpose of an argument in court, and while so doing accidentally shot himself. So his friends said at the time; but that he went out to kill himself, and did it, has always been my firm belief, and I can reasonably claim a very intimate acquaintance with Mr. Vallandightun during tiic* last few years of his life, gained by traveling with him over the State of Ohio as a reporter for the Cincinnati Commercial. lam rare 1 must have reported a hundred columns of his speeches between 1863, when ho returned from “exile." and 1808, when his political hopes were wrecked l v such means as to give inte rest to this sketch. He made no concealment of hi.s ambition to become senator. 1 heard him speak of it as early as 1884 in talks to his friends between stations on the railroad cars. He was then campaigning for the Met ‘leilan ticket, and v is frequently heard, to say in private con versadon that, for himself, the only office he wanted ; as that of United States senator, and that lie would get that if the Democrats ever carried the iio Legislature during Ids lifetime. The Demos rats did carry the Legislature during his lifetime; he was not elected senator, and his lifetime soon ended. The Ohio campaign of 1807 was remarkable for it. rigor and earnestness. The Republican i *y was squarely pledged to the negro-suffrage <l *.riue for the first time. It met the issue boldly and fearlessly, but. the whims on the sc.-ond Tuesday in October showed that the peo y,V .vere, hardly ready to go that far just then. !*: tiierford B. Hayes was elected Governor of (hio by a majority of less Ilian 5,000 over Allen r. Thurman, tin* Democratic candidate. The Democrats carried the Legislature, and secured n f..ir working majority on joint ballot. TL<result was a surprise to both sides, and to nobody more than to C. L. Vallandigham, who woke up on. morning and found himself, as he thought, a United States senator. To the day of li> death he contended that ho had a distinct and positive understanding with all tlio Democratic leaders, of the State that tho election of n Democratic L< uixlaturo meant his election to the Senate, lie used to speak of it as ‘‘a solemn compart.*’ I think there is a speed: Os his on record now, made at Hamilton, 0., after the State election in 1867, and before the fcuatoiiol election in 1863, in which he uses this

term. The occasion was a “Democratic jollification,*’ as they called it. and Vallandigham for the first time made public reference to the attempt to defeat him inside of the Democratic party. Tin* speech was full of self-glorification—looking at the past campaign purely in the light of his i own vindication—when neither he nor any act of j his had been in issue at all. He dosed with the j verso from Byron about time, at last, making all things even. j Vallandigham. in his selfishness, had however ; overlooked all considerations affecting his political associates. He had forgotten that when Thurman agreed to his (Valiandigham’s) son a tonal candidacy it did not seem possible that, the Democrats could lose the Governor and win the ' Legislature, as they had done. Just at this point the ambition of Mr. Pendleton came in to defeat the hopes of Mr. Vallandiglmm. Mr. Pendleton had recently l>ee.u persuaded that he might become* President of the United States on tho greenback issue. His Irainorand backer was Washington McLean, then chief owner of the Cincinnati Enquirer. One man never was “made” by another in polities to a greater extent than George H. Pendleton was "made” by Washington McLean as to his presidential candidacy in 1868. To-day the fierce opposition to Mr. Pendleton at (’olumbns is headed and fronted by John R. McLean, who may be described as a son of the old man. As first condition of Pendleton’s success in 1.868 it was necessary to give him a united support by. the Democracy of Ohio, and this Mr. M-cLcwn believed could not he secured without giving the sou a tor ship to Tlmrman instead of Vallandigham. So the “solemn -compact” had to bo broken. Vallandigham had to be sacrificed on the altar of Pe .dleton’spresidential ambition. Word was sent out by Washington McLean and other friends of Pendleton that Thurman must bo made senator. Thurman’s friends had first sent out word that unless this was done tho old Roman —as he was called even then —would contest Mr. Pendleton’s c laims to a presidential indorsement iu Ohio and as n candidate before the national convention which was afterwards held in Now York. The bargain was made and carried out, I met Vallandigham two days before the senatorial caucus was hold in Columbus. lie had heard rumors of the "sell out,” but bis egotism would not let him believe them. “They dare not do it.’’ said ho. “Tho Democratic party would rise as one man and hurl them from power if they did" He also said to me that he was a firm believer in predestination, and that he was predestined to be senator —repeating what he had so often said before, that a seat in the Sen- • ate was the object of bis highest ambition. Among the firmest supporters of Vallandigham in this contest wns Frank Hunk now member of Congress from Toledo. I think he will boar me out in all I say in this article. PENDLETON’S DEFEAT FOR THE PRESIDENCY. Vallandigham went home a sad and much changed man. His most intimate friends predicted the fate which has since befallen him. Six mouths later I went to New York to report the Democratic Convention which met in Tammany Hall on the 4tli of July, 1868. Vallandigliam was in the city, intending, as he said, to be a quiet and disinterested spectator. General McCook, an ardent Pendleton, man and the chairman of the Ohio delegation, asked me one day if I knew where Vallandigham was stopping, and if I would carry a message to him. 1 answered yes as to both. The message was that they wanted Vallandigham to take seat in tho Ohio delegation in place of a man who would resign. Vallandigham received the proposition very coldly at first. “All my political hopes have been sacrificed for Pendleton, and J don’t feel like taking part in this fight,” said he. "Besides,” lie added, “Pendleton lias no chance in this convention. I will accept the place of delegate, but will not bind myself to vote for Pendleton after it becomes apparent that he can not be nominated.” Theso conditions were accepted, and Vallandigham took his seat as a delegate. He had previously, however, done strong work against Pendleton by urging the Indiana men to bring Hendricks forward as a candidate, which, as \y!l ho remembered, wns finally done. The truth is. however, that Vallandigham was for ; Chase in that convention. I was seated very" near him while Governor Seymour was making his second speech—the one in which he accepted the nomination. He expressed very great disgust, and said afterwards that Seymour had told him that morning that if his (Seymour’s) name ws put before the convention he would decline and put. Mr. Chase in nomination. The result of the New York convention is familiar to all. Pendleton was beaten, and his greenback policy" was repudiated—orrery nearly so. Vallandigham was the happiest man in New York that day. He seemed to forget his own humiliation in contemplating the greater humiliation of Mr. Pendleton. “I wonder,” said he, “if they think it pays to sacrifice Vallandigham now 1 ? I guess not.” McLean still adhered to Pendleton’s fortunes. He talked of him as the inevitable candidate for 1872, and actually got him the nomination for Governor of Ohio in 1860—persuading him to its ! acceptance as a means of keeping himself before the people. Hayes was ir nominated by tho Republicans that year, and was elected. Vallandigham sulked and did-very little that. year, except to talk privately of his “sacrifice,” and to give out hints of getting even. 1 cannot fill up the gap between that time and about a year ago, when the younger McLean commenced to tear down tho idol which the elder had spent so much time and money to erect. Still loss can I undertake to give the cause dr causes for this changed relation on the part of tho McLeans —using the plural because tho father has indorsed tho sou throughout his anti-Pendleton crusade. It will certainly be hard, out of the recent political history, to match all the facts in the case. The leaders in the events of 1867-8 with the exception of Vallandigham, are all yet alive and are now at Columbus. But they have experienced a singular change of heart toward each other. The McLean whoop of sixteen years ago was, “Do anything and sacrifice anybody to make Pendleton a presidential candidate.” The McLean whoop of to-day is, “Do anything and take anybody" to beat Pendleton for the Senate.” As these lines are being written the end of tho story comes in the news that Pendleton has been beaten and Payne has received the Democratic nomination for Senator. “Et tu Brute?” has not been more feelingly uttered since the days of Cfipsar than it might have boon uttered by the Senator at Columbus last night. But can anybody who knew Clement L. Vallandigham in the fiesh doubt that ho is happy in tho spirit over the events which are recorded to-day. Pew-Letting; in Plymouth Church. New York, Jan. 9. — The annual pew renting of Plymouth Church took place last evening. Mr. and Mrs. Beecher mingled among the large crowd present until meeting time, when the great preacher made the usual remarks prefacing the side. When the first choice was offered the bids ran rapidly from S3OO to $575, at which price Horace B. Chaffin, tho dry' goods merchant, selected No. Then a large number were sold at premiums ranging from $550 to S2OO. A good many pews remained unsold at the close. The total amount realized from premiums was $22,011, tvhicli, with the fixed rentals, $12,833, makes a total of $34,844. The total last, year was $37,471, . a difference of $2,627 in favor of last year. “Well,” said Mr. Beecher to the reporter, “I don’t think that Plymouth Church stock will fall like Northern Pacific. Mr. Villard got wiped out, but lam going to stick. I began with a .salary of $1,500 a year, and I can go hack to that if necessary: but 1 don't think I shall be called upon to do that. 1 think that the sexton and 1 snail have a little account to settle before that.” Failures.

Hong Hoa, above Sontay, on tho Red river, has been abandoned by" the Black Flags. A large number of Annamite* are Hooking to the French headquarters at Hanoi bringing them Chinese stragglers. It is stated dissensions among the Annamitcs and Black Flags caused the loss of ftontay. Arms were found at Sontay marked “Foo Chow, China, arsenal.” Some correspondence was also found compromising tho Atinatnese officials at line and Chinese officers. An explosion at Hanoi on the 23th destroyed, two batteries of the French artillery". One man was killed and three injured. Several houses and the barracks were badly damaged.

London, Jan. 9.—A Cairo dispatch say's: Nubar Pasha assumed office to-day as Prime Minister of tho new Egyptian Cabinet. Recruiting black troops, under Zebehr Pasha, has been abandoned. The Government is undecided whether it will recall Baker Pasha, who hasgofte to ftuakim to arrange for tho campaign against El Mahdi. A military commission under Sir Evelyn Wood, will make the necessary arrangements for the evacuation of Soudan by the Egyptian troops, to accomplish which it will, it is thought, require a year. The Porte lias been notified by" tho Khedive that if Turkey shall attempt, independently of him, to reconquer the Soudan for the purpose of enlarging Turkish control, he will claim a reduction of £665,000 per annum in the tribute which he pays at present. It is believed that tho Porto lias been influenced by Franco to risk the Khedive’s threat. Turkey has pro pared to garrison ftuakim. but the Ministry at Constantinople pretend that it is intended to do this merely as a demonstration. Tlio English Moderates almost unanimously" approve the decision of Gladstone to abandon the Soudan, and argue that it is time to put an end to the business of sacrificing the lives of British Soldiers in tho task of upholding purely barbarian interests in which England should have no concern. Tho foreign press, however, unitedly condemn the. Gladstone decision as a betrayal of the Khedive. The Fiench editors argue that England has no right to bo in Egypt at all unless as an ally in all the interests of tho Khedive. They compare the English policy of protecting tho secured interests of the Khedive in lower Egypt while refusing to assist in the protection of his assailed interests in the Soudan to the conduct of tho friend who should insist upon sharing what one had in his bouse while retaining the privilege of dividing with the robber whatever might be stolen. The Khedive’s New Cabinet. Cairo. Jan. 9.—Tho following wall probably constitute the new Cabinet: Sabot Pasha, Minister of the Interior; Mahmoud Falaki Pasha, Minister of Public Works under Arabi, Minister of Public Works; Abdel Rader, Minister of War; Mustapha Pasha Fehmi, Minister of Finance. Later. —The formation of tho Cabinet has been completed. Nubar Pasha, President of the Council, takes Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Justice: Mahmoud Falaki Paslia, tho Ministry of Public Instruction, and Abdurrahman Rucliili Pasha, Ministry of Public Works. The remainder of tho Cabinet are as previously indicated. Clifford IJoyd will be Under Secretary of the Ministry of the Interior. Nubar Paslia believes that Egypt will prosper only' by a union with England. The statement is made that no time will bo lost in carrying into effect tho policy imposed upon tlio government by England. Troops will immediately bo concentrated aO Wady Haifa and the Egyptian cavalry will leave for the desert, on Thursday, to accustom the men to camp lifo. Tlio Khedive, in conversation, said he had acted aright in accepting unreservidly tho advice of England, whose motives were only good, and therefore identical with his own. lie said England alone had helped him in tho hour of adversity. A column of troops sent from Berber suceeded in relieving tho garrison at Gezireh, with a loss of sixty-four men. King John Takes the Field. Alexandria, Jan. 9.—lt is stated that tho King of Abyssinia has left Dua with an army and 1r marching on Massowah. A Turkish gun boat has been sent to tlio Arabian ports of the Red sea, whero tho emissaries of El Mahdi arc exciting the populace to arms. Chinese Gordon's Views, Ii on don, Jan. 9. —Gordon writes that tho Egyptians must abandon the province* of Dar four and Kardofan, but should retain possession of the Eastern Soudan, as, if El Mahdi should be allowed to re-establish himself there, tho effect on Egypt will be disastrous. Arabs on both sides of the Red flea would, he fluid, in that event, be •likely to catch the infection of the rebellion, and tho whole Eastern question will be reopened. (Jordon considers the choice of Nubar Pasha as Prime minister a most judicious one. THE TOMB OF E3I3XAN DLL. Sixty Thousand Pilgrim* March ItWoro the. Monument of the Late TOonureh. lio me, Jan. 9.—The pilgrimage to tbo tomb of King Victor Emmanuel took place to-day. The i

pilgrims were from all parts of Italy. It is estimated .60,000 were in the procession, representing the six great provinces of the kingdom. Large deputations were present from Constantinople, Vienna, Corfu, Gibraltar. Trieste, Buda Pesth, Frankfort, Soloniea. Odessa, Paris. Tunis, Alexandria and Tangiers. The proces sion was headed by a delegation from Rome. The different deputations of pilgrims bore banners and were “accompanied by bands of music. The procession marched through the principal streets of the citv to the Pantheon, and for two hours defiled before the monument erected over tho tomb of the late monarch. Four hundred wreaths and other testimonials of admiration were placed upon the monument-. The tomb and Chapel were grandly decorated. During the ceremony a man climbed to tho top of the obelisk and attempted to stab himself, but was secured by the soldiers. MATTERS IN IRELAND. Tho Testimonial to Lord Rossmore—Sullivan’s Denunciation of Orangemen. Belfast, Jan. 9.—At a meeting in furtherance of the proposed testimonial to Lord Rossmore, it was agreed, in compliance with a letter from Rossmore, not to present him a testimonial, but merely an address, and give the money subscribed for the testimonial to relatives of Orangemen who died of wounds received in tho fight between the Nationalists ami Orangemen at Dromore on New Year’s. A Dublin dispatch says: At a meeting of the National League, T. D. Sullivan, member of Parliament, said the Orangemen who attended the recent Orange meeting at Dromore were imported hirelings. He deplored the death of one of those Orangemen, but laid tlie man’s death at tho door of the landlords who brought the ignorant dupes to Dromore to assault a peaceful meeting. Why Daly Resigned. Cork, Jan. 9. —The unexpected resignation of Joe Daly as a member of Parliament from Cork is attributed to an alleged slight recently inflicted by Chamberlain, President of tlie Board of Trade, who, wishing to fill a vacancy in the government office here, asked Parnell to nominate a suitable candidate for the position. The custom has hitherto been to communicate with the senior member, who, at tho present time, is Daly. Number One, Again. London, Jan. ?).—The police authorities have become convinced that Captain McCafferty, who is said to be the true “Number One,” is in London. The report, that he had gone to America was probably a blind, and as the reward offered by the Irish government for his arrest still holds, greet, efforts are being made to unearth him. Detectives are watching any ship which sails, and every likely place of concealment is being explored. _ ■ Roycotter* Abroad. Cork, Jan. 9. — The system of boycotting appears to have been renewed in County Mayo, where an unaccountable system of signaling during the night-time is going on in the country districts. Thu signals have been watched by tho police authorities, and additional police dispatched there. The sub-sheriff, who has been threatened, is guarded day and night. — FOREIGN MISCELLANY. Response of Emperor William to the Congratulations of the Berlin Magistrates. Berlin, Jan. 9.—Emperor William sent this letter in reply to congratulations sent by the magistrates of Berlin on New Year's day. “I praise God that in His goodness it has still been vouchsafed mo to inaugurate the monument on the banks of tho Rhine, which is designed not only as a commemoration of happily regained unity id Germany, but also as an earnest sign of the invigorated and true might of tho united German empire. Tho grand festival in honor of. Martin Luther’s birth, iu which, after four centuris, tlie whole of evangelical Christendom united with me. will not the less eveb remain for me an elevating reminiscence. It affords me the greatest satisfaction that the new year has come under circumstances which verify the hope of quiet and undisturbed times. lam convinced that under maintenance of peace, of which we have obtained fresh guarantees through tlie personal intercourse with friendly princes, the nation will in the future find a prosperous development.” Alfonso’s Journey Condemned.

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS. THE SENATE. Introduction of Petitions, and Discussion on the Adoption or the New’ Rules. Washington, Jan. 9.—Mr. Plumb presented a petition of 20.000 ex-soldiers for tho establishment of a soldiers’ home iu Kansas. Mr. Anthony offered a resolution instructing the committee on foreign relations to inquire into the expediency of legislatidn to enable the Executive department to protect our interests against tlie governments which prohibited and restrained the importation of healthful meats from the United States. Laid over until to-mor-row. Petitions were presented as follows: By Mr. Slater: From the citizens of Oregon, praying that the lands granted the Oregon Central railway, which had not been earned, be retaken by tho United States. By Mr. Logan: Praying for the passage of an act pensioning ex-prisoners of war. Mr. Morgan offered tho following resolution, which was agreed to: “Resolved, That the Attorney general be instructed to transmit to the Senate copies of all reports, with accompanying papers, made by the different examiners of the Department of Justice concerning tho business of the courts of the United States in Alabama, Georgia, Arkansas and Texas, which reports relate to abuses by officers of said courts and marshals of said districts in charge of collecting and accounting for fees, and other abuses referred to in tlie report of Brewster Cameron, general agent of the Department of Justice, made Jan. 5, 1884.” The bill passed for tho payment of $6,000 to tho parents of Lieutenant Schwatka, the arctic explorer. The claim arose out of taking tlie senior Sehwatka’s lands in 1850 by the govern inont for a military reservation. The Senate resumed consideration of the new rules. The first- question in order was the amendment of Mr. Hale to tlie rule referring appropriation bills, to strike out the clause permitting the reference of District of Columbia appropriations to the Senate committee by the District, Agreed to: 27 yeas, 25 nays. Rule No. 20 was taken up. The proposed rule provides for a committee on internal improvements, to consist of nine Senators, to whom shall be referred all subjects relating to tlie improvements of rivers and harbors, also the river and harbor bill. Mr. Vest moved to strike out this provision. The committee on commerce had always faithfully performed its duties and was perfectly competent to deal with the river and harbor bill. The standing committees hv this rule were increased from 34 to 38. He thought if some of the committees were dispensed with and greater activity required of those which remained tho country would be better satisfied and better served. It looked somewhat as though the committees were provided in order to secure secretaries Jor senators. Mr. Coke favored tho amendment. Mr. Frye, while disclaiming any reflection on the committee of commerce as at present constituted, thought the committee had made a very colorless record, during the last twenty years, in proposing no comprehensive original measures for tlie promotion or revival of our shipping. Mr. Frye referred to the intense activity which characterized the public ineu of England in regard to the shipping of that country. England had gained a victory in the shipping line over every nation in the world, and while Mr. Frye . could not help admiring tlie steady purpose and manner with which England had gone to work to accomplish that end, he was constrained to say that, always and everywhere, she works for money. She fought us nearly fifty years because we owned slaves, and when the war came she promised that slave on one hand freedom, and on the other continued slavery, ftlio saw her opportunity, and forgetting principle, supplied the South with munitions of war and arms of every kind. We captured 763 of her blockade runners with t wenty-six million dollars' worth of arms and ammunition, ftlio fitted out her Aldbamas to prey on our shipping and joined Spain and •France in an attack on Mexico, ready to march on us if liarMrion pmwitid itself; and if it had not I been for Erie§§orf and his “cheese-box” she would probably have dismembered our country. So England forgot and ignored all the principles she held so dear, in order to got a market for her goods and employ her ships. She built up a great business and has it yet. Without reaching a conclusion on the rule, the Senate went into executive session and soon adjourned. THE HOUSE. Reference of Papers for the Improvement of the Mississippi.
