The Union League Conies to the Front With a Declaration.

IT DEMANDS A THOROUGH PURGING OF THE PABTJT AND THE ADMIN

ISTRATION.

Meeting of the Colored Citizens of Oljio, at Columbus.

What Th*y Say af New Orleans of the Louisiana Senator ship.

New York, March 9—At a meeting of the Union League, last Thursday evening, President Joseph H, Choate presiding, and a very large attendance of delegates beine present, the following important action was taken:

The Union League Club, claiming to represent, and believing they truly oxpress the sentiments of the Republican voters, declare as follows:

First—That in view of the recent and repeated exposures of corruption and fraud in the administration of public affairs, the welfare of the Republican party, as well as of the country, demands a searching and^ thorough investigation of the condition and condnet of every branch of the public service to the end that ail corrupt practices may bo

brought

grievance,

to light, and

that all who have abused and betrayed their public trusts, whatever may be their station, may be exposed and punished.

Second—That the elclusire management and control of local affairs ol_ a party in this State, and particularly in the city of New York, by an organized machinery of office holders, which suppresses and ignores the real voice of the voters of the party, is an intolerable

to which we refuse any

longer to submit. ......

Third—That

we demand that the in

dependent and disinterested Republicans of the city and State shall be fairly represented in the selecting of delegates about to be chosen to the State and National conventions, which are charged with the great duty of naming the candidates of the party for

Presi

dent and Vice President of the United St&t69 Fourth—That the purpose-which been openly avowed, and threatened to be put into practical operation, of sending to the National convention at Cincinnati a delegation from the State of New York, made up at a

State

conven

tion, and pledged beforehand to the support of a particular candidate, is a jross violation to the first principles of

MIC*

Republican institutions, and an out rage on the right. and "jsbes of tbe

isL

great majority of the party Wo insist that the representation of the State of New York, in that convention, shall be committed to a delegation wholly unpacked and unless this can be conceded to us we refuse to be bound by its action.

Fifth—The main clause in this resolution is: We desire promptly and explicitly to avow our conviction that the success of the Republican party is not possible unless the candidate of the Republican party, be a inan who is not only identified with its dgreat principles, and pOsseised of a proud appreciation of its past servioes, but is also a man who has had no connection, direct orindlrect, wiih the abuses which have brought reproafeh on the fair name of the country and the party, «r any suspicious association with those who have been guilty of these abuses, and whose same aud career shall be in themselves, a guarantee of complete renovation of the public service—a thorough Ipurglng of official abuses, and an administration of the Govern-

MEETING OP COLORED MEN IN OHIO.

Columbus, March 9.—Pursuant to a call issued by the executive committee of the National Convention of Colored Editors, held at Cincinnati August 6, 1S75, a number of representative Ohio colored men met there to-day in convention. It was docided to apportion the number of delegates from Ohio to the National Convention to be held at Nashville between Toledo, Chillicothe, Steubenville, Columbus,_ Cincinnati, and Oberlln, one to each city. Among other business an address to the colored people of the State was adopted. The address indorses the' propriety of holding the National Convention, and declares that the civil and political interests of all citizens of the U. S. are identical, without regard to color, and that of ali those whose business it is to interpret and execute the organic laws of the country would respect their oaths of office, the rights of all citizens would be equally considered? that colored people cannot afford to make themselves, or permit others to make them, a separate element in politics. The address also indorses the Republican party, declaring it has proved itself the party of liberality and the friend of the colored man that while the Republican party has been plundered by thieves, it has had the integrity to expose and bring to justice those who have been found guilty of malfeasance in office. It also deprecates the tone of some of the leading Republican journals of Mississippi on the disorders prevalent in the South, wherein it is claimed the ignorance of the colored voters has brought: about this result also deprecating tho dispo* silion of the administration relative to the late election in that State, as tending to restore political power to the conservative element also, condemning the United States Senate for refusing to admit Pinchback to a seat in that body, but declares that even this has not shaken the faith of the colored men in tho Republican party.

CONVENTION OF GREENBACKER3 IN CON-

The resolutions adopted demand the unconditional repeal of the redemption law, the practical abolition of the National bank system, the receipt of greenbacks for customs, and the issue of bonds interconvertible with ureenbacks, bearing a rate of interest sufficiently high to keep them, and consequently greenbacks at par with gold. They strongly oppose Senator Sherman's thirty-year bond bill "Which passed the Senate on February 25.

And Did Not Furnish Ilis Evidence.

Wrath of llis Judge Advscilr.

Washington. March 9.—The speak er laid before the House of Representatives to-day a large number of papers received from the acting secretary of war in response to a House resolution of the 3rd inst., calling for copies of ail the instructions, orders, letters, telegram's, or other official records in the war department relating to the Babcock court of inquiry. The letters and telegrams relating to Gen Babcock's request for a military court of inquiry, orders directing it to be convened, detail for the court, its adjournment from da^ to day. and finally its disolution in consequence of the indictment of Babcock by the St. Louis grand jury, are all merely for mal and have been in substance already published, except the following: On the 15th of Deeember Major Asa Bird Gardner, judge advocate, wrote from Chicago to the adjutant general of the army as follows:

Sir: I have the honor to report that the court of inquiry convened here by special order 246 adjourned to-day to meet at the call of the president of the court, I deem it my iuty to invite the attention of the proper authority to the following state of facts in reference to the case for the government, which I was called upon to present. Immediately on receiving telegraphic notice of the detail, hastened here in advance of the assembling of the court, so as to be"prepared to proceed without delay. ,Had the court been on its assembling,, duly sworn, I should, neverthaless, have been unable to proceed in Consequence of the fail ures ef the Hon. D. P. Dyer, United States attorney for "the eastern diSi trict of J^mouri, to obey the positive ihstructtoi»a of

the honhrable

general

oT tlie,United States

These telegraphic instructions were sent to him on deeember 6th ane specifically directed toat=1 should be furnished with njiy .documentary evidence bearing on tho case and the names ajpidresidences o. any witnessess whose testimony you, be or I, deemed im|Krtant to make the inves tigation thorough. The judge advocate then-gives in detail the object for which

was convened and proceeds') on the Stli instant a3 Mr. Dyer had not furnished me with any information whatever, I telegraphed him- On the 9th be replied with a telegram offering me a copy the steinograpbic notes in the trials of John McDonald and William O. Avery. He has since sont me an abstract of the Avry trial containing Henderson's remarks relative to Colonel Babcock, as a lawyer Dyer must have known perfectly well my telegram. Neither did it comply with the attorney general's directions. What I required was a list of the witnesses and a description of tue documentary evidence on which Mr. Henderson had based his remarks, so that the court of inquiry when organized could examine for itself into the matter. Up to this evening nothing of the kind has been received from Dyer. On the evening of December 9, G. C. Gordon, of the Inter-Ocean newspaper, reported to me substantially that his paper has just received reliable telegraphic Information that Dyer had publicly stated that he should furnish no lists of witnesses or documentary evidence, so far as the Avery and McDonald case wers conrerned. Mr. Henderson's remarks to Colonel Babcock might have been based on what he had heard or seen wholly outside the court room. It will be noticed that I did not ask information as to what the witnesses might have said or done in the Grand Jury room,because when Henderson made his speech no bill of indictment had been found against Bab* cock, and Henderson was not the proper official to go into the Grand Jury room to subscribe to such a bill. He was acting as assistant counsel and was temporarily under the orders of the District Attorney, who, by his presence and tacit acquiescence, adopted Henderson's remarks as an authoritaiive statement of a Governr ment officials. What witnesses had said to him or deposed in affidavits could not be used before a court of inquiry. All that I required was

A lilST OF WIKEdSES,

so they could be called on to testify in open court. A description of the documents evidence on which Henderson based his remarks was also received, so that, in due course of law, a subpena duces tecum should be issu ed to the proper custodian to produce them in court. The court of inquiry did not complete its organization, but had it done so I could not have presented the government's case, in con sequence of the absolute disregard by Dyer of the positive instructions of his immediate official superior, the bonorablet attorney general. (Signed,) Very respectfully, etc.,

Asa Bird Gardner.

Judgs Advocate of the court. The attorney general's letter to Mr. Dyer is as follows

BROTHER OKVILI.ES OUTRAGE, Washington, Mcb., 9.—Oryille M. Grant was before tbe Committee on Expenditures in the War Department this afternoon. He said that he never at any time, either orally or in writing, had any authority from Belknap in relation to the post traderships, and that he never directly or indirectly exercised through others control over such traderships, He obtained the post sutlership for a man appointed at Fort Stevins. He was not interested with any of the parties who obtained appointments of post traders from the Secretary of War. He said that he was interested in the contracts under the department, that he obtained a post on his own account from Commissioner Smith. He made application for a trading post at Fort Peck and received a letter from tbe President in reply which was favorable. The president at Fort Peck, Fort Belknap and Standing Rock, and he applied for these places in pursuance of the knowledge given him by the president. There were the only trading stations in which the witnes had any interest. At Fort Peck the witness put in $2,000 with Casselberry & Bonafon.

He had influence with the president to manage such matters to some extent, although he did notfindmaiterstobe profitable. He had not pressed the appointment of tradars on ihe atten' tion of the president. He procured the officers from the commissioner of Indian affairs, after seeing the secretary of the interior. Neither the president nor the seeretary of the interior bad the slightest knowledge of his receiving money. The witness testified that he was now in tbe employ of Bashe. & Co., of Baltimore, as solicttoij at. a salery of $200 per month. His solicitorship was connected not only with the government but with private parties* He obtained a contract from Gen. Myers, of the quarter-masters bureau, but only to the extent of four or five hundred dollars. Anjourned.

Disraeli refused the objections that the title of empress was not English, and that the colonies were neglected. He declared that the colonists were Englishmen. Maurice Brooks, home ruler, member from Dublin City, inquired if the queen on assuming the new title would extend clemency to the Fenian convicts. Disreall promised to reply to the question when tbe bill was passed. Samuolson memper for Banbury, and an acvanced liberal, attacked the proposed change and moved in adjournment. Gladstone argued that there^ existed important states in India which w^re not under the English dominion, li it should work a poiitial change in thsir statues, it was unjustifiable and its passage would be an act of temperity borderiog on insanity. He urged the claims of the colonies and conoluded by announcing that be supported the motion to adjourn.

A LOVE LOBX 8W1LY.

Or Tale of a Livery Man. A person wouldn't think that livery stable men are particulary given away to poetic and sentimental things, still, such seems to be the case in the instance of one B. T. popular manipulator of the ribbons and curry comb at an east end stable on Saturday the proprietor of a leading hotel seut for him to' bring a buggy in which to convey a young lady to Saline whith ershe was going on business. In tbe ordinary course of events, this would have given T., who was driving for her. an abundance of time to return by Sunday morning at tbe latest. Things however, was not taking the "ordinary coarse," although 'tis trne it was anew chapter of the "old old story." He did not get back until late Sunday night. The quest, as to the delay, he pleaded the rough roads as an excuse. This was occepted in fact .ft could not be otherwise when, in the light of history and subsequent events, it is known "the course of truo lava noru dnflg run Smooth."__ Of course, then, those roads wore rough and it is a wonder that he ever got back at all. A change was noticed in his actions.

It was plain that tbe yonng lady who had business at Saline had charmed Lim. He seemed abstracted. He got to chopping up ship stuff instead of hay to make mixed feed he was seen violently currying the oats bin instead of the tails ofhorsee. His "gee up here!" was tinged with melanchally sadness and a "Doleful tune

Made to his mistreat' eyebrows."

He got to blacking his boots, and currying out his hairs and as he sat on the box of a coach, driving to a funeral his eye had a dreamy, far off look. And yet during all of the time tbe men, his former gay associates, did not know exactly what the matter was with.bim, for "He never told bis love.

Bat let concealment like a worm 1' the bud, Feed ou lies damask cheek.

Yesterday she returned and of course he did the gallant thing in tbe way of buggy rides and the evening took her to tbe depot to bid her good bye. It seems however, that her train did not leave until nearly eight o'clock which was after feeding time at the stable. He could nofc think of leaving her, so he sent a boy to the stable to tell the proprietor to come and get his horse while he and the lady sat in the waiting room at the depot and discussed time tables and housekeeping. And this is the sensation in livery circles.
