Washington, May 10.—The Vice-
President laid before ihe Senate tbe fol
lowing communication:

■£5, your obedient servant,
{Signed] Roscoe Cosklwo.
This communication was rewi*d with
* , sensation, wliich was heightened
when tlio Vice 1’resldcnt laid the follow
ing before the Senate:
Senate Chamber, May 1C.-—To Son. C.
A Mr, Vice President, etc.-*ik: I
have forwarded to the Governor of the
State of New York my resignation as
Senator of the United States for the State
sx2£ Hnsrsrr
Ahum of astonishment followed the
reading of the communication, and Mr.
Hill, of Georgia, suggested, sofo eoee, that
this would be a good time to elect officers
oT the Senate.
Washington, May 17—When the
doers were reopened at 1:40, the Serate
adjourned until to-morrow.
Soon after the adjournment of the Sen
ate this afternoon, the Republican Sena
tors went into caucus for the purpose, it is
understood, of determining what course
„t action shall bo persued in regard to ac
tion on the Robertson case and other con
tested nominations, and also to consider
the subject of adjou-nmeut. It is gener
ally believed that the nomination of
Judge Robertson will lie brought before
tin* Senate for final action during th-*
next few days, and that the Senate will
adjourn sine die towards the close of this
wi ck. Neither Conkling nor I’latt have
been at the capitol to-day, aud in tbe ab
sence of any authoritative explanation
from them, tire motives and meaning of
resignations are left subject to mere spec
ulation and conjecture.
The Republican caucus this afternoon,
with only four dissenting votes, decided
to bring the Robertson case before the
Senate for action forthwith, aud to pro
cure an adjournment of the Senate sine
die this Week,
tetter of Resignation or Coukliuff
amt Platt.
AMI ANY, X. Y., May 17-—'l'he. follow
ing is the letter of resignation of Senators
Conkling and Platt, addressed to Gov.
Cornell, of the State of New York:
Wasiiixotox, D. d., May 14, 1881.—Sib :
Transmitting, as we do, our resignations,
respectively, of the great trust with which
New York has honored us, it is fit that we
acquaint you. r.nd through you tlio Legisla
ture ami |ieopie of the State with the rea
sons which, in our judgment, make such a
step respectful aud necessary. Some
weeks ago the President sent to the Sennte
a group of nominations of severnl persons
for public offices already filled. One of
these offices is tbe coliectorship of the port
of New York, now held by Gen
eral Merritt; another is the
consul generalship at London, now
held by General Uadenu; another is charge
d'adaires to Lcnmark, held by Mr. Cramer;
.mother is the mission to Switzerland, held
by Mr. Fish, a son of the former distin
guished secretary of state. Mr. Pish had.
10 deference to an ancient practice, placed
his (Kwiiiou lit tlio disposal of tbe new ad
ministration, hut like other itersons named,
he was ready to remain at iiis iiost if per
mitted to do so. Ail of these officers, save
only Mr. Cramer, are citizens of New York.
It was proposed to displace them all, not
for any alleged failure or from any alleged
need or advantage of the public service,
hut in order to give the great offico of col
li ctur of the port of New York to Mr. Win.
11. Robertson, os a reward for certain nets
of his, one of which is his having "aided in
imiking the nomination of Mr. Garfield
possible.”
Tbe chain of rewards thus proposed was
broken by Gen. lladean’s promptly declin
ing to accept the new placo to wliich he
u.ts to be sent. These nominations sum
moned every member of the Senate to say
whether lie ndvised such transactions. The
movement was more than a surprise. We
t-.d been told only a few hoars before th .t
no removals in the New York offices were
soou to be made or eveu considered, and
kid been requested to withhold the palters
ami sngg-stions bearing on the snbject.und
which had been sent to ns for presentation
should occ.dou arise, until we had notice
from the President of his readiness to re
ceive them. Hearing that the Vice Presi
dent was equally surprised, and had been
equally misled, we went to Mr. James, tbe
rebiiiM officer from our State, aud learned
that, though he had spent soms time with
ti e President on the morning of the day
the nominations were sent in, no disclo
sure of nn> intention to semi them h *d
been made to him, and that he first knew of
he matter by hearsay.
Following the event, after e irnest reflec
tion and consultation, we believed the pro
ceeding unwise and wrong, whether consid
ered wholly in relation to the preservation
and integrity of tho public service and the
public example to be set, or in relation to
the integrity of die Republican party. No
puldie utterance •( comment or censure
was made by either of us in the Senate or
elsewhere. Outlie contrary, we thought
the President would reconsider his ac
tion so sudden and hasty, and would at
least ad,ip: a less hurtful and objectiouablo
male of requiting iiersor.nl or individ'ial
service. In this ho|ie the following paper
was prepared and signed and presented
to the President, who was subsequently in
formed that yon had authorized your name
to be added also.
"To the Pbekident—We beg to have to
remonstrate against the change in tho col-
lectorship at the |x>rt of New York, by the
removal of Mr. Merritt and tho appoint-
m *tft °f Mr. Robertson. The proposal was
wholly a surprise. We heard of it only
when several nominations involved in the
Plan were announced in the Senate. We
n d only two days before this been in
formed from you that a chnngo in tho cus
tom office at New York was not contem
plated, and quite ignorant of a purpose to
take any action now, we had no opportuni
ty until after the nominations to make tlio
suggestions we now present. We do not
believe that the interest of tho public ser-
Vl e W *R he promoted by removing the
present collector nnd putting Mr. Robert-
'<*n in his stead. < lur opinion is qnito the
reverse, and wo believe no imlitical advan
tage can bo gained tor either tlio Ilopubli-
can party or its principles. Relieving that
u “ '“dividual has claims or obligations
winch should be liquidated in such a mode,
we earnestly and respectfully ask that tho
nomination of Mr. Robertson bo with;
drawn.
[Signed] Chester A. Annum,
T.O. Piatt,
Thoscas L. James,
Roscoe Conkling.”
The paiier was presented by Mr. James
to, there were awaiting the action of the
Senate severnl c-tizensof New York, named
for places connected with the courts, dis
trict attorneys and marshals. These were
all reappointments. Most of them had
been originally appointed by Mr. Hayes.
They were certified by the judges of the
courts, nnd many other eminent persons
who attested the faithfulness and merits of
their services, arid recommended their con
tinuance. They were not presented by us.
We have not attempted to dictate, nor
have wo asked tho nomination of one per
son to any offico. Indeed, with the sole ex
ception of the written request set forth
above, wo have never eveu expressed an
opinion to tlio President in any cose un
less questioned in regard to it.
Some days ago, the President abruptly
withdrew the names of General Woodford
and Mr. Tenney, who had been nominated
marshals. This unprecedented proceeding,
whether permissible by law or not, was
gravely significant. Tho President had
nominated these officers after they had
been weighed in the balance. Their offi
cial records wore before him and had been
fally scrutinized nnd approved. It must be
presumed that he thought tho nominations
fit to be made, nnd that it was his date to
make them. There is no allegation that he
discovered unfitness in them afterwards.
It ennid hardly 1; t that ho had discovered
unfitness in all *it them alike. What then
was tho meaning and purpose of this per-
craptory step t It was immediately stated,
ns if by authority, and seems to be admit*
ted, that the purpose was to coerce the
Senators to vote os they would not vote if
left free from executive interference.
The design was to control tho action of the
Senators touching matters committed to
the Senate and to the Senate exclusively.
It had been suggested in addition that, by
recalling tho-o nominations and holding
them in his own hand, the President might,
ia the event of ths failure of another nora-
imtion, use them to compensate that foil-
uro. If it can be supposed that all those
public trusts are to bo or would in any
event be mnde personal perquisites, to be
handled nnd disposed of, not only to pne-
ish tho independence of Senatorial voring
or acting, but to liquidate i>cr-*onal o* liga
tions of any individual, however high in
station, the conditions are equally vicious
and degrading, uud their acceptance wou d
compel enr State Representatives t.
tling down their oath and report for duty
at the foot-stool of the executive powi r
Following this strictly, a sweeping extern
live net came with ominous avowals that a
dissent or failure to advise nnd consent
would be held on act of offense, exposing
at! the Senators from whatever State to ex
ecutive displeasure. Thus wo find our
selves confronted by tlio question whether
we shall surrender the plain right and
sworn duty of Senators by consenting to
what wo believo to be vicious and hurt
fnl, or bo as-igned th a pos tion
of disloynlty to the administration winch
we helfied to bring on nnd to the success of
which we earnest!} wished for every i«*i>on-
ul motive which can ontor into the case.
We know no theory aimed by any party
wliich requires such submission as is now
exacted, although party service maj be
fairly considered in making selections of
public officers. It can hardly be maintain
ed that tlio Senate is bound to remove with
oat cause incumbents merely to make
places for those whom any individual, even
tho President or a member of his cabinet,
wishes to repay for being recreants to
others or serviceable to him.
Only about two years ago the Sens to ad
vised tliat General Merritt bo appointed
collector of the port of New York. U is
understood that among the Senators who
so advised, was Mr. Windom, now secre
tary of tho treasury and head of the de
partment who->e subordinate General Mer
ritt is. Another Senator known to have
given this advice was Mr. Kirkwood, now
secretary of the interior. It is said that
like Uie Postmaster-General from our own
State, theso cabinet office: s wore not taken
into consultation touching tho removal of
General Merritt, lint their sworn and offi
cial action as Senators is none the
less instinctive. That tlio sec
retary of the treasury • and the Into
administration, up to its expiration
less than len weeks ago, approved General
Merritt as nil officer is well known. It is
nowhere suggested tliat a citizen had i>eti
tinned for bis removal, or that any official
delinquency on his part is *ho reason of it.
In tho place of an experienced officer in
the inid-t ol bis term fixed by law, it is pro-
>osed to pat n man who lias had no train
ng for the position, and who cannot be
said to have any special fitness for its offi
cial duties. '
In tho inaugural of President Garfield,
delivered on 4th March, stand these wards:
‘‘Tho civil service can never be placed on
a satisfactory basis until it is regulated by
the law for the good of the service itself,
for the protection of those who are inter
ested with the appointing power against
the waste of time and the obstruction to
public bnsiness, caused by the inordinate
pressure for places, and of the incumbents
against intrigues and wrong. I shaft at the
proper time ask Congress to fix the terms
of tho minor offices of tho several execu
tive departments and prescribe tbe grounds
upon which iucumbents have been appoint-
eJ.” How good tho distinction is which
would make major offices a prey
to “intrigue and wrong,’* and shield
minor officials from liko havoc, and wheth
er the collectorships of the country should
belong to a protected class, need not be de
cided here. Assuming Gun. Merritt to be an
officer of average fitness aud honesty, it
might be reasonably argued tliat all the
Senators should with ulacrity advise hi-
displacemeut by n man of obvious superior
ity. Possibly it might tie said that all
should advise tlio selection in Gen. Mer
ritt’s place of a inau who, without superior
fitness, had rendered hi? conutry or even
his party conspicuous and exalted services.
The ease in hand does not belong
to either of theso two classes.
Tne voc t on of Mr. Robertson, and hi,
legislative and professional experiences
aad surroundings, do not denote superior
ity in the qualities, the knowledge, the bus
iness habits and the familiarity witli the
revenue Inw system of tho United Slates
which might make him more com(ietent
than Gen. Merritt to collect the vast reve
nues and administer the vast business per
taining to the port of New York. Certain
ly he cannot in this respect bo held ns an
exception to the rules of right and consis
tency on which the constitution and laws
have placed public service. We know of
no iiersonal or political service rendered
by Mr. Robortaon so transcendent that the
coliectorship of New York should be taken
in the midst of a term and given to him as
a recompense,
Mr. Robertson is reported by the New
York Tribune to have declnred that his
nomination was a “reward” for his action
as a delegate to the national convention. If
Mr. Robertson ril bis action, was influenced
by a sense of duty, if ho voted nnd acted
his honest convictions, it is difficult to see
whnt claim ho has for any reward, not to
speak of socli great reward. Robertson nnd
sixty-nine other mon accepted from a Stato

the right aud duty of a Senator as it i3 tho
right or duty of tho President to propose

The idea that tho Senate is simply to
find out what is wanted and then do it, we
cannot believe safe or admirable, and thus
far no party has dared or descended to set
up such a test of party fidelity or alle
giance.
In this instance, such prominenco has
been given to the subject and such distrust
has been expressed of the correctness of

dutiful to submit the matter to tho power
to which we are alone boand nnd are over

Concerning Conkling and Platt's Res
ignation.
Washington, May 10. —Iu a caucus of
Republican Senators, this afternoon, after
a short debate it was decided, with only
two dissenting votes, that the committees,
so far as tbe Republican members can
now control their actions, shall report
back all pending nominations (meaningat
to-morrow’s session of the Senate), with a
view to the final disposition of all execu
tive busiuess iu time for the adjournment
of the Senate by Thursday or Friday at
the latest.
The necessity of providing for the elec
tion ot the president of the Senate pro tem
pore before the close of tho session was al
so brought to the attention of the caucus,
and as the Democrats now constitute a
majority of the body, it was agreed to
notify them that the Republicans will
consider Senator Harris, of Teunessee, as
au acceptable choice for the position, and
will cheerfully acquiesce in his election.
The resignations of Senators Conkling
and Platt were not discussed or referrec
to in the caucus proceedings. Senator
Conkling is still in Washington. Sena
tor Platt left lor New York at 2 o'clock
this p. m
Washington, May 10.—The Slat this
evening says: “When the news of tlio res
iguaiion of Senators Conkling and Piatt
readied lh» Treasury Department to
day great excitement ensued, and the of
ficials and subordinates alike were soon
gathered in groups throughout the huiid-
mg, discussing the situation and its prob
able effect. Thai tlio Seuators who re
signed are quite confident of beiug re
turned by the New York Legislature is
very generally accepted, bnt in the sam
quarters it is maintained that on account
of the Legislature having heretofore in-
dnr.-ed the nomination ot Robertson to be
eolleetor of the port of New York, it can
not consistently indorse tlio action of the
i wo Seuators iu opposing it. This Course,
however, it is conceded by prominent Re
publicans, can easily be brought about.
President Garfield was apprised of the
’■oni emplated resignations inis morning,
a.id remarked to a treasury oliicial shortly
before 12 o’clock that he expected the
uews to arrive momentarily. The r*sig
nal ions <>f tlie two Senators are topics of
conversation at ilm hotels and other pub
lic places, and groups of men may be seen
ou 'lie street comers discussing the affair
iu an excited manner.
The Star also publishes the following
news of tue Senators concerning the Sen
ate sensation Ouu Republican Senator
said: “They’ll bo-ti be re-elected by Die
New York Legislature.” Another said
that, while “he had not been informed ol
this step, his opinion was tliat it was sim
ply an appeal to the New York Legisla
tor.-, i.uw in session, by Conkling atm
‘la'.t. tor an indorsement of the position
tney -old taken ou the I^obertsou nomitia
ti >u.
A warm friend of Senator Conkling
said: “It means that Conkling ami 1’lati
will not be oisulied and out ag d hy this
administration. They have known from
t he iir.-t. that the nomination of Robertson
was Blaine’s declaration of war against
the ruling element of the Republican pat
ty iu New York. T.iey have kuowu that
Robertson was selected to crush Conkling
and destroy his influence, if possible.
They had done everything they could to
prevent this hitter war iu the Republican
party. They showed that they had lli<-
Republican party of New Yoik behind
them, that only a small riug
ni dtsorgatiizers and boltets
supported Robertson, but the Pres-
i-.lent refused to listen to any appeals
tor peace aud harmony. Conkliug and
Platt then appealed to the Republican
Senators to uuite with them in saving the
party iu New York from disorganization,
to kelp to save it iti the coming election,
but the Republican Senators, too many of
them, preferred to stick to the sido whicli
controls the patronage, ami Mr. Conkling
determined that he would not sit iu tbe
Senate ami see such au outrage put on
tile party he so ably organized aud bril
liantly led iu New York. Mr. Platt agreed
with him. and they have resigned. No
doubt they will appeal to their party foi
approval or disapproval ot their course,
and any man wiio knows anything about
the Republican party of New York will
tell you that Conkling aud Platt will be
endorsed with a vim.
Some of the Keptndican Senators said
they were too much surprised to express
any opinion on the subject. The Demo
crat c Senators were delighted at the ac-
tidn of the New York .senators. They
made no ulfort to conceal their gratifica
tion. Some ol them said it would widen
the breach iu the Republican party. The
rumors of a reorganization of the commit
