met with violent opposition from
Hamlin, Burnside, Oglesby, Howe,
and others. Hamlin wus es] ‘ "
outspoken as an opponent. '1

adopted was this:
Resolved, That in all cases where
appointments of Democrats have been
made in the South on the recommen
dation of Democrats, the same lie not
sustained by the members of this
body, where any objection exists on
the part of Southern Republicans.
Hamlin introduced a resolution

Washington, November 11.—Mr.
Conkling, of New York, arose to a per
sonal explanation and referred to the
publication on Friday last in the New
York Herald, purporting in some
S eneml sense, to come from hint. It
id not profess to be a report literally
of any thing said by him, but pro
fessed to be a narrative of private con
versations and it disclaimed accuracy.
As generally read it seemed to have
been accepted as something which
had become to be known as an inter
view. He desired to State that, for
many months lie had not held an in
terview for publication with any one,
save in one instance, and then in re
gard to the usefulness and services here
of the dead Senutor, from Indiana.
In all other instances, he had de
clined to be interviewed. The Her
ald'a statement contained some re
marks which he had made in casual
conservation. At times it contains
other remarks which he never made
at any time, i t ascribes to him, forms
of expression, quite indefinite to say
tile least. Words like these in the
presence of the gratifying and great
achievements of the Republicans of
New York, he was in no mood to
utter.

FOB OCTOBER.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.]
Galveston, November 12.—There
were received from seventy-two
counties, one hundred and one replies
of the average date of October 31st.
The character of the weather has been
wet and unfavorable in sixty-eight
counties, and dry In forty. The
weather for gathering crop, ‘as com
pared with lust year, has been less
favorable in sixty-two counties, the
same in two, and more favorable in
eight. There have been light frosts,
but no damage in fifty counties, and
no frost in fifty-one counties. Seven
counties report picking finished,
forty-five, three-quarters picked ; and
sixteen half picked. Picking will be
finished by tlie first of December.
The yeildas compared with bust year
is estimated at a decrease of thirty
two per cent, but we believe that
some of our correspondents have not
taken into consideration the increased
acreage in their sections. The lute
continued rains all over the State
have injured cotton yet in the field—
cutting it short in yield, and impair
ing the quality.

tlie President intends to dissolve the

SUPERFINE PEOPLE.
“In tills city, Mr. Conkling, the
most determined opponents you liave
seem to show themselves.”
“Yes, there are about ttiree hun
dred persons here who believe them
selves to occupy the solar walk and
milky way, anil even up there they
lift their s'kirts very carefully for fear
oven the heavens might stain them.
Some of these people would vote
against a man becuuse lie had been
nominated. The mere fact of nomi
nation and selection reduces him in
tlieir estimation. They would liave
people fill tlie offices by nothing less
than divine selection. If it were not
so amusing one would lose patience
witli this class of people; they are af
ter the unattainable In human gov
ernment.
THE 8UPEBFINE AND THEIR MONEY.
“How could money liave been
raised, Senator Conkling, to bo
thrown into your district ?’’
“Well, the highly respectable 300,
of whom 1 have spoken, have nothing
so plentiful as money. Among that
class of our peers in this great com
mercial city you can raise from $20,-
000 to $100,(Kill very easily and they
will not flinch. Beside|Tammany
Hall was very desirous of saving the
Legislature so as to keep their power
in tliis metropolis forever. There are
13,000 office holders in New York, or
persons in receipt of from $17,500 to
$500 or $1,000. Here are 2,000 notaries
public at $600 a year, and 1 am told
that every one of them was assessed
$25 by Tammany Hall. There was
no place In New York where they
could employ this money with more
satisfaction to themselves in the re
sult than in the district where 1 live.
Here was a- fusion of the extremely
rich and tlie sans culottes, the hidal
gos and the rabble, working from tills
city for Hit minim purpose of beat
ing tlie Republican candidate in tlie
Utica district. Had we been suffi
ciently aroused und sagacious we
could liave defeated tills manoeuvre;
but we found it out too late. Lot me
tell you something. Wo sent tlie
tickets to the polls, in the ward in
which I live, at daylight, us did the
Democrats. Not one of our tickets
was found at the polls. They were
all thrown into the ennui.”
11J K CIVII. SERVICE ORDER.
“Do you think that the celebrated
order,di rooting office holders to abstain
from all political action, whs also
intended to operate against in
dividual public men ?”
“Undoubtedly that celebrated refor
matory order was faclionu) in its ex
tent, made in the interest of envious
and presuming little men. Sherman
goes out to Ohio and makes speeches
in defiance of it ; McCrary goes to
Iowa and manages a convention de
spite tlie order, and finally Devons—
who is it pretty good sort of a fellow,
or lias been in the past—writes to
Massachusetts (I think Senator Conk-
ling wild to Collector Simmons) and
says that Hie order meant itself to he
disobeyed, und that the way to obey it
wus to violate it ?”
A DEMOCRATIC CABINET.
“How do you make thut out ?”
“Devons always ran for office in
Massachusetts on the Democratic
ticket. He never was a Republican.
Schurz took himself out of the Re-
e iblican party years ago. Key is a
emoerut. I am sure, added Mr.
Conkling, that nobody counts Kvarts
a Republican. The Democrats were
so certain of the contrary thut they
hud proposed to nominate him for
Governor in tliis Shite. I liave no
faith in a President whose only dis
tinct act is ingratitude to tlicmen who
voted for him and the party which
gave him its fealty. In tin* domain
and forum of honor that sense of Mr.
Hayes' infidelity stands forward and
challenges him. It is Iclt by honest
men all over tliis country. He smiles
and showers on tin* opposition tlie
proofs of a disturbed mind.”
“He lias been a great traveler, Sen
ator.”
“Yes, I uni told (hut there has not
been a fori night since he was inaugu
rated that there lias been a quorum of
tlie Cabinet present in tlie capital
city.”
“Have von read tlie President’s
speeches?”
“Yes, I think old Harry Lee ought
to have heard’that speech where he
compared tlie soldiers of the Confed
erate und Federal unities to Greeks.
‘We beat you,’ lie said,‘ill Nusliville
und in Atlanta hcciul* we laid more
Greeks.”’ Mr. Conkling shook Ids
head and looked amusement and con
tempt.
CHIEFTAINSHIP.
“Mr. Conkling, are you satisfied
that the Administration at Washing
ton was anxious for your defeat?”
“From the time Hayes came into
office und uunninlcd a Democratic
Cabinet,” said Mr. Conkling, “the
principal labor of little Kvarts and
tlie rest has been to withdraw the Re
publican support from me.”
“Has Kvarts made uny impression
on that head?”
“He told a gentleman some time
ago that the reform movements of
the Administration, as far as New
York was concerned, were alu break
up chieftainship. I suppose that
chieftainship wus a declaration of
censure upon myself.”
“But lias the Administration di
rected uny official act against you in
tliis last election?”
“Yes. They made the removals of
the principal offi holders in New
York, whom 1 mutch them to dupli
cate, much less excel, a week before
tliis State election came oil'. Wus
that chivulric behavior toward a Re
publican seeking to extricate tliis
State from the Democratic Adminis
tration? And,” said Mr. Conkling,
with rising fervor, “if we Imd received
tiic Hayes votes in tlie State of New
Y irk or even a fair portion of them
the State would have been Republi
can to-day restored to its proper
place in influence mid character.”

into Louisiana to bargain with that
man Nicholls, who bv all the evidence
und by the status of the case was a
red handed traitor to his Statogovem-
ment? This dealing with usurpers to
regain the summit of power isa novel
practice In our country. An honora
ble President, feeling himself to have
been elected, would liave refrained
from any such intrigue with pretend
ers in States thut were ready to revolt.
He would have taken his office man
fully, graciously, and inspired respect
without bargaining for it. All he had
in honor to do was to withdraw the
troops, and to that no one would have
objected. So long us Mr. Hayes is in
the Presidential chair those old and
substantial Republicans in the North
will never look on him with respect
while Gov. Packard, discrowned, si
lent and removed, appears as the vic
tim, but looks on.
TILDEN.
“Mr. Conkling,” said the interlo
cutor, “did you not have some respect
fur Mr. Tllden ?”
“In a sense I did,” said the Sena
tor, and he repeated “in a sense.”
“When Mr. Tllden proceeded against
the Tammany Ring and the Canal
Ring, while Governor, I observed
that the Republican papers, particu
larly in New York city, exalted him
to the skies, and I remarked, ‘They
will get this man up so high after a
while that when they set to work to
drag Him down they cannot do It.’
As Governor Mr. Tllden exceeded my
expectations. He made as creditable
an administration, certainly, as Dlx.
I do not believe in personal utilise
during our campaigns. I refused to
get u]i in that campaign and throw
mud at Mr. Tllden. I made some
speeches asserting our side of the
question as well as I could, but I did
not go Into vituperation. When Mr.
Tllden defeated Governor Dlx, the
latter, like little Roberts, had no one
to throw it upon but myself. He has
been exceedingly officious in writing
letters directed against me. When
the Electoral Committee was made
up in Washington, und Senator Lo
gan was obliged to decline a place on
it and I was appointed, Governor
Dix wrote letters to Washington city
protesting against my being given a
place there. He intimated that I was
already dead and buried In New York
and that this was an attempt to give
me another chance. During the
Presidential campaign of Mr. Tllden
1 excited the enmity of those who
would have had him pulled down by
the newspaper Warwick who made
him. I objected from the beginning
to the Republican conduct ofthe cam
paign, it began with vituperation,
lunqHMming and all manner of ribal
dry, and because I refused to join In
that style of warfare war was declared
on meat the outset. Now, what was
the consequence? Tllden carried the
Stale of New York by a very large
majority, and all tl'iut Billingsgate^
went for nothing. In my opinion
Tllden made a creditable Governor.
