Eew York Herald.] 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.” THE LOUISIANA BARTER. 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.

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.
