WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8,18 SI.
The Republicans of the New York
Legislature continue to ‘ ‘insult” CoDk
ling by giving a two-thirds vote against
him. Still, he does not resign any more.
Suppose that another dinner should be
gotten up for ex Senator Dorsey in New
York, like that which succeeded the last
election, and the same men should be in
vited, how many of them would attend ?
Col. Enoch Totten and Shellabarger
and Wilson, of Washington city, have
been retained by General Brady, ex-
Second Assistant Postmaster General, as
his counsel in any legal proceedings
which may grow out of the pending star
route investigation.
All over the North the fires of patriot
ism burned bright at the victory won by
an American horse at the Derby. Such
was the enthusiasm in St. Louis that
quite a number of buildings were illumi
nated in honor of the event, and the ex
citement was fully as great as wheD
Heenan whipped Sayers.
The stalwart Albany Express and the
half breed New York Tribune each
charge the opposite faction with lavish use
of money in bribing Republican members
of the Legislature to vote for candidates
for United States Senator. Both are
doubtless coriect. The ‘ great party of
moral ideas 'is essentially a “business”
party.
The late Mr. Hayes evident hatred of
Conkliog is doubtless based, in the
greater part, upon bis knowledge that
the Senator held him in the utmost con
tempt for four years for having accepted
the Presidential office when fully aware
of his utter lack of any equitable right
to it This contempt the Senator took
little pains to conceal.
The New York dead lock is letting us
into a lot of political secrets. Among
other things it shows how completely
the Republican party is the creature of
King Caucus. Unshackled by the cau
cus collar it is powerless and cannot
even be drawn into harmony by the co
hesiveness of public plunder, although
the administration is working desper
ately to bind the scattered elements in
that way.
It is claimed, and with much force,
that if Vice President Arthur desires to
make war upon the administration, he
should first have had the manliness to
resign his position in it, and that having
failed to resign and having gone to A1
bany to endeavor to establish an anti
administration party, he has shown him
seif less honorable than Messrs. Conk
ling and Piatt. Whatever may be the
result of the Albany contest, Mr. Arthur
is, politically, dead.
Even the bees in Ireland are patriotic.
It is reported that a hive of them was
let loose in Clare county the other day,
when with true Fenian instinct they
attacked a body of mounted police who
were going to assist in the eviction of a
tenant. The bees not only discriminated
between the people and their oppressors,
but showed good judgment in stinging
the horses instead of the men, and so
created the greater confusion in the
ranks.
Following the example of England
with Cyprus, and of France with Tunis,
Italy is evidently contemplating a seiz
ure of Tripoli, the pretext being the ex
pulsion by the Governor General of an
Italian antiquarian expedition. In itself,
Tripoli has no special value. Its coast
is almost destitute of good harbors, and
its population does not exceed 750,000.
But it forms the gateway of the large in
land province of Fezzan, the annexation
of which would naturally accompany
that of Tripoli itself.
Mr. J. Gould, according to the Chi
cago Tribune, thinks the Southwest a
much better field for railroad enterprise
than the East, and Texas much better
than Arizona and New Mexico. He be
lieves Texas will become one of the best
cotton raising States in the country.
Besides this, he thinks the cattle busi
ness will always be important, and that
roads in that State would get much bu
siness with Mexico. He has been as
sured by Gen. Grant that the Mexicans,
9,000,000 in number, are fond of riding
on railroads, are thrifty and enterprising
as any people in the world. He is of
the opinion that a Southwestern road
into Mexico would get nearly all the bu
siness of the republic, and more of the
Pacific travel than the Topeka Santa Fe
route.
The agricultural depression in Eng
land is still very severe. It is stated that
in Lincolnshire farms may be secured
rent free by any tenant who will pay the
taxes; that in Norfolk, Suffolk, Bedford
shire, Essex, Oxfordshire and other
counties noted for “high farming,” rents
have fallen from 20 to 70 per cent.; that
in North Wiltshire an estate embracing
farms of a total area of 12,500 acres is
unoccupied, although the owner offers a
reduction of 80 per cent, in the rent.;
and that sales of land are almost utterly
impossible. Various reasons are assigned
for this grave depression. One is that
several consecutive poor harvests have
discouraged the English farmers; anoth
er, that land troubles somewhat similar
to those in Ireland are apprehended; still
another, that American competition has
killed British agriculture. Probably
each of these influences has affected the
situation.
Each day adds new features to the
gravity of the situation in Ireland. Tne
resistance to the authorities, both civil
and military, by the Irish peasantry can
hardly be called by any milder name
than insurrection. The priesthood im
plore the authorities in vain to suspend
the evictions. The government goes
on, notwithstanding the excited and des
perate ferment of the people, to coldly
turn the poor peasant, the aged and the
sick out of their homes, and the tenants
resist with sticks and stones. Of course,
as soon as it comes to battle, they will
be scattered like chaff by the well-armed
and disciplined soldiers. But, says the
Baltimore Qazette, those who resist unto
death will not die in vain. They are
fighting for rights that cannot fail to
triumph at last, though the horizon just
now looks dark indeed. The haughty
blindness with which England has acted
throughout this movement will surely
meet with rebuke. The Irish tenants
cannot be exterminated, and it will cost
more to hold Ireland down with armies
of occupation than it is worth to Eng
land. Justice would have been so cheap,
and injustice and oppression are so costly
In the long run.
The Last Dodge of the Stalwart
Bolters.
A dUpatch from Albany says a leading
stalwart of that city gives the following
as the opinion of Conkhng, Arthur and
Sharpe, as expressed by them in a letter
from New York, received in Albany
Sunday morning:
“There will be no election. Both sec
tions of the Republican party are deter
mined upon this, and the Democratic
members are powerless in the matter.
They have only fifty-four votes, and it
takes eighty-one to elect The Demo
crats cannot get even one Republican
vote for their candidate, nor will they
give one of their votes for either of the
Republican candidates. There will be
bo election, and why should there lie?
Why should not Conkling and Platt be
forced to go back to their seats? They
have tendered their resignations, it is
true, but their resignations have not
been accepted and cannot be accepted un
til their successors are elected. If the
Legislature fails to elect successors, it
will be equivalent to refusing to accept
their resignations, and they will be re
quired to resume their places in the
United States Senate. They tendered
their resignations expecting, of course,
that the Legislature would pass upon the
question whether they should be accept
ed or not. The only way to accept such
resignations is by voting for successors
to those resigning. The resigning Sena
tors became candidates for re election in
order to give the Legislature, or rather
a majority of the Legislature, an oppor
tunity to say whether they should return
or not, and what is the result? They
find that the majority will not elect suc
cessors to them, and they are thus forced
to resume their places. This they will
do next December, and New York will
be represented in the Uuited States
Senate again by Conkling and Platt.”
It is difficult to conceive a more utterly
absurb proposition for the solution of
the Republican muddle in New York,
though it is really scarcely more (ridicu
lous than Conkling’s whole course, from
his arrogant defiance of the administra
tion to the resignation of his seat in the
Senate, which he is now so anxious to
regain. If Conkling and Platt are still
United States Senators, despite their
resignations, why are they candidates
before the Legislature for re election?
And why are other persons being
voted for to fill the vacancies oc
casioned by their resignations?
If the acceptance of their
resignations depends upon the vote of the
Legislature, then they have been accept
ed, as fully two-thiids of that body have
voted against their re-election. If it re
quires a majority of the Legislature to
elect a United States Senator, surely it
should require more than one-third of
the same body to reject a Senator’s resig
nation and force him to serve the State
against his will.
By reference to the ballot yesterday it
will be seen that of the one hundred and
forty one votes cast, Conkling received
only thirty-four. So it would seem that
his resignation is accepted by the Legis
lature of New York by what Hon.
Bardwell Slote would call “a large ma
jority”
Running His Department on Busi
ness Principles.
That the Post Office Department is be
ing conducted upon “ business prin
ciples” is shown in the contracts made.
The Third Assistant Postmaster General
estimates the saving that will be effected
under the new contract for postal cards,
for the four years of this administration,
at one million dollars, as compared with
the expenditure for the same material
under the late administration.
In a contract just entered into
for envelopes for one year from
April Ist the department saves over
$46,000 over last year. The contract for
last year was at SIOO,BIO 83; while for
this year a contract to supply 'the de
partment, including the natural increase,
has been entered into at the sum of
$54,724 37. Already useless and worth
less star routes which cost three-quarters
of a million dollars annually have been
cut off, and this saving, taken in con
nection with that effected by making
contracts for the best interest of the
government, warrants the opinion hith
erto expressed by Mr. James that the
department can be made self sustaining.
“Who Then Can Be Saved?”
If “honest John Sherman” is proved to
be a thief also, who will the Republicans
have left to point to as an exemplaiy
patriot of “the greatest government the
world ever saw ?” Somehow their judg
ment is very defective in this particular,
and their specially chosen honest men
turn out to be their most unconscion
able rogues. Now “honest John” might
have gone scot free if Mr.
Windom had not found that
nonsensical reference to his omitted
national bank correspondence neces
sary—but fate would have it so, and lo!
the said suppressed correspondence had
gone out of office along with “honest
John.” It would not remain there to
cast reproach upon an honest apostle of
patriotic Republicanism—to entangle
him with national bank stealings in the
public debt manipulations, not a bit of
it—and who blames the correspondence,
or honest John? Who is it that will
stand and see himself proved a rogue,
when he can so easily spirit away the
evidence?
ExUuited States Marshal Payn's
Prophesy.
Albany Correspondence Aete York Tribune.
Mr. Pays— “ ‘Mr. Conkliog will run, and let
me tell you something. Put down this prophe
cy and remember it. If Mr. Conkling is beaten,
the Republican party will have won its last
victory in the State or nation. He has won
every Republican victory in this State for the
past fifteen years. He made the last two
Presidents, single-handed and alone.'
“ -You surely don't mean that he carried the
campaign for Hayee by making only one
speech?’
*• *1 mean the seating of Hayes at Washing
ton. Hayes would never have been seated if it
har’ not been for Mr. Conkling. and when Gen.
Garfield came on to that conference in New
York last summer the State of New York was
40.000 or 10,000 Democratic, and everybody
knew it’ ”
Ex Marshal Payn is a stalwart who
knows what he is talking about and who
never deserts or surrenders. It will be
remembered that he was in the batch of
nominations of Conkling’s friends with
drawn by Garfield to coerce Conkling to
favor Robertson’s confirmation. When
Conkling resigned and Robertson was
confirmed, and Garfield was about to
send in the withdrawn batch again, Mr.
Payn sent word that under no circum
stances would he accept reappointment.
Changed Their Minds.—A party of
colored people, consisting of six families,
from plantations near Charleston, S. C. f
arrived in New York about a week
ago to go to Liberia, and they had ar
ranged to sail in the bark Liberia,
through the Secretary of the American
Colonization Socieiy at Washington.
But they changed their minds Friday,
and will be returned to Charleston.
Their determination to return to their
homes is said to be owing mainly to the
advice of several colonists who returned
from Liberia a few days ago and report
ed that many of the colonists were in a
destitute condition.
Stab Route Prosecutions.— The
names designated for the attention of
the grand jury are ex-Congressman Me
Kibbon, J. B. Price, ex-Auditor Mc-
Grew, “honest” Senator Dorsey, ex-
Secretary Brady, 8. B. Elkins, ex-dele
gate from New Mexico, and R. C.
McCormick.
The Inrestigation FeTer.
A Washington special to the Baltimore
Sun says: “Rumors are afloat that the
investigations in the Post Office and the
Treasury Departments are to be followed
by investigations into tbe management
of affairs in several of the other depart
ments, and predictions are made that
this summer will be the most Lvely
Washington has experienced since the
war. That there is plenty of material in
the other departments to keep a number
of red hot investigations going is very
well known; indeed, if the corruption
and fraud which it is alleged has perme
ated the ramifications of that immense
establishment, tbe Interior Department,
should ever be uprooted, it would
create a sensation before which any
developments which have occurred
sines the war would pall. Many of
the officials here, who have been so long
in snug places that they have grown to
them, are much chagrined and distressed
that a Republican administration should
be engaged in the work of overturning
the house of its friends. They would
not have been so enthusiastic iu collect
ing campaign funds last summer and
fall had they anticipated it The admin
istration in its proposed investigations
need only to scratch the surface to bring
out something, and probably the chances
are against any very deep digging under
auspices which necessarily must be more
or less friendly. But if an opposition
administration ever comes into power,
there will be richness in investigation
then.
The Yirglnia Campaign.
A Washington dispatch says: “There
is some comment here, but no alarming
excitement, over the proceedings of the
‘ Readjuster Convention ’ just adjourned
at Richmond. The experienced and
sagacious politicians of both parties ex
press no doubt whatever of the over
whelming defeat of the State ticket
which has been put in nomination. Col.
Cameron, the nominee for Governor, is a
man of marked ability, but it is
not believed that he will get any
more votes than any other gentleman
who might have been put in nomi
nation. If the administration throws
its influence and its patronage
on the side of the ticket it will, of
course, give it many votes which it
could not otherwise obtain, but not
enough by many thousands to secure its
success. A gentleman who talked with
the President on this subject on Friday
represents him as speaking decidedly in
favor of the ticket, and expressing the
hope that it would be elected. But
unless the President has lost his good j udg
ment he will hesitate before giving his
official sanction and countenance to an
organization which is looked upon with
disfavor almost without exception by
the reputable and influential elements of
his own party throughout the country.
Mr. Blair, the candidate for Attorney
General, is on record as in favor of
‘readjusting’ the national debt after
they get through with the work of repu
diation in Virginia, and it would look
rather strange for the President of tbe
United States and the head of the Re
publican party to be the advocate of a
man with such sentiments. Representa
tive Jorgensen, of Virginia, expressed
the opinion yesterday that the Republi
cans would hold a convention and nomi
nate a ticket, which is the view he has
always entertained. He thinks the best
policy, however, is to wait until the
Democrats make their nominations. He
says Mahone will get some of the colored
vote, of course, but not near s much as
he imagines. He says Mahone will be
mashed finer than powder before Vir
ginia gets through with him this fall,
and will never again be heard of as a fac
tor of consequence in politics.”
West Virginia and the Readjustee.
The Mahone “Readjuster” platform is
charged with a “repudiating” plank, in
asmuch as it proposes to carry out the
rejected “Riddleberger resolution,”
which is to “readjust” and settle the
State obligations of Virginia by assum
ing and paying, principal and interest,
two-thirds of the State debt, and setting
aside one-third, to be paid by West Vir
ginia. Now, as West Virginia is re
garded as a State in the Union, and not
by her own act, but by the violence of
revolution and lawless usurpation, it is
considered that no possible legality can
attach to this “ setting aside ” of one third
of the old State debt for her payment.
We should like to see the matter tested
and the violence dons fib the State of
Virginia by fanatic revolutionists ar
gued before an honest Supreme Court,
in the light of the Constitution. If Vir
ginia was notout of the Union, as claim
ed by the Lincoln administration, we
cannot exactly understand how they
could dismember her under the Consti
tution.
The President and the New Version.
Religious journals of other denomina
tions opposed to the new version are
confidently expecting aid from President
Garfield iu the great battle of rejection
now going on, and their expectations are
well based upon the fact that Mr. Gar
field is a zealous and able defender of
the translation of the Bible by Alexander
Campbell and that the new revisers
utterly ignored the existence of the great
work of the learned and powerful
Scotchman. The new version per
petuates the ambiguous and indetermi
nate old translations of the Anglo-Latin
word baptizo, which Mr. Campbell's
translation renders definitely “im
mense,” and it is expected that this will
be sufficient ground for other opposing
denominations to count upon the Presi
dent and his brethren in the warming
contest.
An Ovation to Senator Robertson.
—Two thousand citizens of Katonah, N.
Y., and surrounding country, assembled
to greet Senator William H. Robertson,
Senator Conkling’s powerful opponent,
on his arrival at home Saturday evening
from Albany. Rev. Dr. Wheatley de
livered the welcoming address, during
which he said the people had assembled
to express their admiration for “that
manly independence which will not bow
to the dictation of an imperious leader.”
Mr. Robertson responded at length,
during which he hit the “machine” some
hard licks, and concluded by declaring
that neither of the resigned Senators,nor
any other person hostile to the present
national administration, can be elected
to fill the Senatorial vacancies.
The Greenback Party Still Alive.
—The Greenbackers are keeping up
their activity to some extent. General
E. EL Gillette has just closed a series of
addresses in Indiana. General Weaver
has started out again. Arrangements
are being made in Missouri by some
thirty counties for four meetings in
each, to be addressed by the Hon. E. H.
Gillette, General West, Jesse Harper and
General Weaver.
Conkling Condemned at Home.—
An observant resident of New York says
that he has been amazed to find the con
demnation of Conkling by public opin
ion so universal in that city as well as
through the State. The scandals which
have assailed his private character and
have been lightly treated hitherto by
many, are now brought forward as po
tent reasons for keeping him out of
power.

Our Bazar on tbe Second Floor
Has taken the people by storm; the immense crowds of all classes of people who
patronize it, and the increased receipts are splendid evidences; yet we
do not rest—we continually add more and more
UNHEARD OF BARGAINS!
To the various departments comprising our Bazar, thus keeping the stock fresh,
novel and interesting.
OUR BAZAR
BOASTS now of an unexcelled line of bargains. The people are amazed and continually ask

OUR UDIES’ MRWEAR DEPARTMENT!
Here we have tried our utmost to excel In quality, in the make, in tastiness and low prices.
Such goods at such prices as we offer them WAS NEVER AND WILL NEVER be reached by
the shrewdest competition. We claim that every word we have said in behalf of our Bazar is
strictly true and not a single jot overdrawn, for we realize the fact that bombastic and sense
less blowing injures the reputation of any respectable house. Just as much as we are sensitive
to have our word believed in our private surroundings, So jealously do we guard our public an
nouncements. We claim that whoever misleads the public by overdrawn advertisements is
guilty of a falsehood. Therefore we have avoided it, and for this reason our advertisement
commands the respect of the public. So much for our Bazar. Now for our
DRY GOODS DEPARTMENT!
