THX WXALWATIT DEFEAT.
Tbe group or Kvpublicene com*
nionly designated “Stuhvarts” fiad
themselves worsted in n Soden-Wu*
trrlro*8udowMstyle by i hi* President’s
niauly slid inde|iciidt‘iir coup of
Thursday.?
Tiny ore not only “disgruntled.’
They ere wild with lag-; stunned
by disappointment, more bitter are
their reflections, from the fact that
they, oil and singular, have a deep-
down conciousne&s that Piesident
Garfield's position is absoPely right,
C mspicuously oonAtitutioiml. They
know that; but they have made n
rule of their own. They have de
creed (by whut light no nmn cun
tell) that Federal oflit ei belong to
Republican politicians; that the
New York oflices, lor instance, are
the special property of lt»a:oe Conk •
ling; that the President, in tilling
the Federal offices in that State, must
lit mutely and with folded urine,
awaiting the dictation of the New
Yoik Senator. In other words, the
“Stalwart’* idea is the complete sub*
jectivity of tbe President to the or*
ders of one man.
The president saw fit to uppoint u
man io fill the office of collecior of
the Port of New York who was not
in accord with Mr. Conk ling’s views-
Mr. Conkling informed the Repub
lican Caucus Committee the othei
day that ho bad promoted the Senat*
deed-look for the special purpose of
forcing tbe President to withdraw
the name of Judge Robertson from
the list of New York appointments.
Mr. Conkling has alleged no uniit*
bom in this oandidate. Judge Rob-
ertoon’s Republicanism was not the
kind of Republicanism that Mr.
Conkling Uked. Judge Robertson
waa not n henchman of Mr. Conkling.
Judge Roberta* waa nota .mun who
would crook the supple hinges of
bis knee lo Mr. Conkling. That
woe what Mr. Conkling saw objec
tionable iu Judge Robertson. He
could not be ok^ed bp tbe Senate*
Cockling fhmsiened to light the
Domination MMi in executive and
open mdm'bf the Bequte. Hie
friends Conveyed this ultimatum to
tbe Preeideat. They suggested that
tbe Preeideat had better yield and
not “disturb the harmony of the Re
publican party.”
The President, to the surprise of
Conkling's friends, refused to with
draw tbe Robertson nomination, lie
did more. He exercised his right
and sent a message to the Senate
withdrawing all the Conkling nomi
nations, leaving the Robertson nom*
inution still before the Senate. Bold
and independent was this uction,
and in itroog contrast with the
Presidential sub-servience to “boss”
dictation of past years.
It means that the President does
not regard the Federal offices iu New
York as the property of Mr. Couk-
ling; that, on the contrary, they are
to be Allied in accordance with the
demands ofpublic interest*; that
the President intends to meet the
“bosaea” in a large and open field
und in a general engagement. He
clears the say by sweeping off, by u
single stroke of his pen, every nomi
nation made before at tho suggestion
of tbe New York Senator. Conk
ling can take his choice, lie can
submit or vacate bis enormous as
sumption of power, or he can light.
Conkling is at a painful disadvan
tage. Tbe good sense of the Ameri
can people condemns him. The lead*
iug papers of hie owu party will not
back him in n fight with President
Garfield. He bos to confront a pow
erful current of public opinion, set
ting against the “boss” system, of
which be is the leading and hither
to successful representative. That
public opinion recognizes in Conk
ling the leader of u class of politi
cian* who defy the pctple. In this
fight the people will side with the
Administration.

Mujor Green was absent Horn the

to go to work ; but it is safe to say
that before the expiration of the pres
ent week work will actually be be

for, nnd the completion of the line
to Douglasville is a certainty before
the maturity of another crop,
Ambkicus, May 0.—The city was
thrown into considemb'e excitement
this morning, by the report that the
body of n murdered mun had been
found lying upon th * stage in Fish

the city as a public school building,
iu which a largo number of colored
children are taught. The discovery
was made by a tittle negro boy who
went there for the purpose sweeping
out the house. The body wus recog
nized ai that of Austin Ellis, u young
colored man of this place. Seven
ghastly wounds were found upon the
head and in the neck of the poor fel

wound wus in the left temple and
penetrated some distance into the
brain, most of the others were in the

building hud boon broken open.
The ghastly corpse wus wrapped up
in the stage curtain which hud been
wrenched from the rings to which it
had been attached. The coat of the

Atlanta Cotton Exposition.
The Cotton Exposition in Atlanta
tliis full promises to be one of the
grandest events ever witnessed in the
South, and will not be confined ex
clusively to the exhibition of cotton,
but will take in a great number of
other products of the country. The
Constitution says:
“The buildings will be ready for
exhibits in September, and die expo
sition will b- opened October 5lh,
nexr, and will ouitiiitie iill Decem
ber 31. The Hpptic.i'i.iii fbr spue i

manufactures or uses cotton goods.
Tile exhibition will not be con tin -
ed alone to cotton. While this pro
duct will have the preference und be
confined to the main exposition buil
ding, it is ihe purpose of the man
agement to make as large and varied
a display us possible of all southern
products, woods and minerals. Sev
eral of the leading railroads in the
Sou:ii will make special exhibits of
the products on their lines of road,
and there will be an extensive exht
bit ion of this kind Irom Ihe different
Southern States, ail to be grouped in
separate buildings. The grounds
and buildings w ill have electric lights
and the exhibition will b - open such
nights during the week us the man
agement may direst.”
