The editor of the Cincinnati Commercial recently Btated to an interviewer in New York that he "desired to kill off the Hayes movement in Ohio," It is very singular that he should make such an avowal after industriously and ingeniously affecting for Bix weeks that the Hayes movement in Ohio amounted to nothing, and meant merely a complimentary vote. The efforts of the Commercial to "kill off the HayeB movement" have been extraordinary, but the movement is a difficult thing to kill, and ft a tenacity of life grows stronger day by day in spite of all the efforts to give it a finishing stroke. In fact it has rather thrived by the opposition it has received, and it was never bo formidable as it !b at this moment. Dentil or n I'tiinilna.i Physician. Special to the Ohio State Journal. Mt.

T . rr' . . . r wouia not have interallied himself in this matter if he had not had a personal in terest in tne business, rle had received nothing from Fort Lincoln; from the others he had perhaps received $10,000, ueneral Uedrick was examined at great length as to the capital invested at tne several posts. Dut be could not eive any information. Ho said he had not drawn out all of his profits, but did not recall now how much was still in the business. Prior to the Fort Fetterman affair Layton and he secured uosts at Fort Griffin and Fort Conchan. They were equal partners, and got out of the Dosts about $2000. He never got any profit out of Fort Laramie. He secured tbe appointment at Camp Supply for his broth- e, brother-in-law and sell. Keynolds took mm into partnership, with a onetbird in tcrest in tbe profits, and he eot about 3zuuuoutot tins post, ae never received any money from any one for appoint ment as post-traaers other man those mentioned. From ailhispost-tradership business he has received less than $15,u00. He could not recollect asking Genera Belknap for a poBt-traderehip when he was refused. His influence with Belknap was due to serving in the same regiment with him for four years, and his applica tions were strongly indorsed. General Belknap never knew that he CHedrick) was interested in any of these posts. Belknap had never received any benefits, past, present or prospective. James Iramer, post-trader, was re called. He reiterated the charue that he paid Simon Wolf, Recorder of Deeds at W ashington, S260 for assistance in getting his post,. PDBMAH.

EMMA MINE. Trenor W. Park was recalled before the HoUKe committee on Foreign Affairs today. He testified that his acquaintance with Scnenck did not begin until after the commencement of his negotiation of the Bale of the mine.

Mr. Spencer introduced a bill to prevent panics and give elasticity to legal tenaer currency, without impairing its value, by limiting its amount, together with national Bank notes and gold and silver coin circula tion, affording to the population opportunity to make legal tender notes equal in value to United States Government bonds, with the consent ana uy me action ot tneir owners, and to authorize the issue of legal tender notes and the retirement of the same, under certain circumstances and on certain conditions.

Mr. Windom said he would vote for the substitute ot the Senator from Kansas in preference to the bill reported by tbe com mittee. Mr. Hamlin defended the hill renorted hv tlie committee. Mr. Sherman thought it best to establish a uniform postage per ounce. The only difficulty about tbis proposition was that it would raise the rate of transient newspa pers, and that be did not want to do. That might be remedied by the adoption of that portion of the bill reported bv the committee. and which allowed them to go through the umii at i cent, ror every turee ounces, etc. He did not think the old rate of noBtaro should be restored entirely, but it should be restored so far as liibt circulars were con- :ernea. Mr. D.iwes moved to amend tbe second section of the bill us reported by the com mittee Dy striking out words "of one.tbou-sand miles or less, and for all distances over one thousand miles twoeents for each ounce or fractional part thereof," so that it would read: lbs postuge on mail matter of the third diss shall be at the following rates tor all distances: One cent for each ounce or fractional part thereof," etc. Agreed to wttn.iut diviBion. Mr. Harvey said after the Postmaster General should rule out tbe straw bir's, the job printing now carried ou in the Depart ment, anu tne mauutacture ot envelopes, he bad no doubt third class matter could be carried at the old rate and the revenue of tbe Government be benefited. Mr. Ptiddock submitted an amendment to tbe substitute of Mr. Harvey, so as to allow seed?, cuttings, bulbs, roots, scions, State and county fair premium lists, and State and county agricultural reports through the mails at one half tbe rale heretofore established for third class matter.

The committee on the Question of Jurisdiction is consultino- all the authorities and airaiiging all tne precedents and questions of aw, and it is understood their nave great conndence in presenting the question to the Senate in such a way that that body will be convinced of its right to proceed with the trial. They have all the testimony taken bv the committee on tne judiciary and the Clymer committee which bears on the arti cles presented to the Senate, and it seems to oe me universal opinion that if the Senate entertains jurisdiction there can be no possible escape from a verdict of guilty. I he facts are regarded by those familiar with them ub exceedingly strong, and sufficient to sustain the articles. The counsel of General Belknan are Montgomery Blair, Jerry Black, and Matt H.
