Col. Tom Scott, the great railroad

last Saturday evening.
The Republican menagerie seems to
have been stirred up with a stick.
Who manipulated the stick ? That’s
the question.
In the meantime none of the Washing,

Tue complexion of tho New York

upon to.elect two United States Sena

■ Conkling did not hurry back to N ew
York after the adjournment of the
Senate. To have left Washington last
week and entered the contest at Alba
ny would have been indeed like jump
ing oat of the frying pan into the fire,
to a man in Lord Ro3coc’s present di

is a breach between the Ad
ministration and Mr. Conkling and his
followers, it is tree, and that breach
has been beautifully widening for
some time past; bat it hai not reach
ed the New York Legislature yet, and is
not likely to so affect that thorooghly
Republican body in the near future as
that Democrats will be elected by it to
succeed Conkling sad Platt, even if (he
latter should not be endorsed in their
recent spite work and returned to the
Senate themselves.
When it comes to electing these Sen
ators party rales will be observed, as
is always the esse with such well organ
ized parlies as the Republican party has
proved itself to be ; the caucus com
mittee of theXegislature will call a cau
cus; thoso Republicans who refuse to
go into the caucus and be bound by its
decision will bo branded as bolters and
expelled from the great party in power,
and thus lose their places at the public
crib. Conkling has long controlled the
caucus power of the Republican party
of New York, and those who are now
opposing him will find themselves de
feated in the end by means of his wire
pulling and trickery. If Conkling does
not go back to the Senate himself, and
carry bis man Platt with him, it will,
in our opinion, be because he does not
want to do it

been fighting so desperately for Conk-
ling, now solemnly throws up the
sponge in a leading editorial of a col
umn and a half. It not only consid
ers the prospects of the Republican
party hopeless of further victories, but
that the party will be too weak to act
aa an efficient opposition hereafter to
ths victorious Democracy-
The New York Commercial Bul
letin says : The speculative element in
the time being is pretty thoroughly
eliminated from the situation, if we
except a few Western products; and
• thus, whether we look at the local
maxkets or to tfiose of the country at
; large, it is risking nothing to assert
that trade, as an entirety, was never
on a sounder or healthier basis than it
is to-day.”
Washington Star: “And now it is
said General Grant is going to abandon
oil other pursuits and devote himself
totbe woik of backing Roscoe Conkling
in his raid npon the administration.
Genenl Grant is a stout fighter, but
there are some things he can’t do. Be
can’t get up a world’s fair, and he can’t
hinder the American people from think
ing Conltbng’s resignation a very weak
and childish performance.”
Garfield's aad Democracy's Victory.
With all of Mr. Garfield's faults, and
the sins of omission and commission
which bear npon the record of the par
ty which elected him, he has fairly es
tablished the fact that he is President
of the United States, and the only one
with backbone who has administered
the affairs of this government since the
war. When he said “no” to Conkling,
no amonut of ire or fire from the New
York politician could check him in his
purpose, and no matter what influenc
ed him in the appointment of Robert
son he carried out his original purpose.
We have no special love for the Presi
dent, but we do admire firmness, and
are inclined to give the Devil his dues
under any and all circumstances. He
hazards the strength and unity of the
Republican party in wielding that pow
er guaranteed to him by the constitu
tion, and seems to have a higher regard
for his own free will, under the law,
than for the future well fare of a party
which has grown corrupt by its own
strength. We believe he has killed
the Republican party of New York,
by catting off its evil head, and thus
permanently placed that State in the
hands of the Democratic party.
The Democrats of the United States
Senate have blazed the way of deatruc
tion for the party in power; they reel
ed off calf-rope sufficient, by a quite
firmness, which at once commends
itself to the approval and admiration of
the nation, and fairly establishes the
fact that Democracy has gained valu
able lessons by its past experience and
blunders. We shall expect mnch good
order and valuable strength to arise out
of this confession, the whole of which
most redound to the credit of the
Democratic party.
ate and Assembly on Tuesday had
nominated the same men, or hsd failed
to cast a majority of their votes for any
body, then the joint meeting of Sena
tors andAssemblymen will immediately
proceed to take op the two cases sep
arately and vote, viva roce, for a Sena
tor, first to fill the place of Mr. Cook-
ling, and then for one in the place of
Hr. Platt To constitute a quorum in
the joint meeting there mutt be present
and voting a majority of all the mem
bers elected to each House. II any
man obtains a majority of the vote east in
the joint meeting, constituted as a fore-
said, he will be duly chosen to the Uni
ted States Senate.
If no one obtains a majority of tho
votes cast on Wednesday. June 1, then
on every day thereafter, at 12 o’clock
the Senate and Assembly most meet and
voto on this question st least once until
an election is effected, or until the final
adjournment of the Legislature.
In these joint meetings any man
whatever can be voted for without re
gard to the fact whether or not he was
voted for st the separate meetings of
the two Houses on Tuesday, May 31.
In other words, |whcn the two Houses
are in joint meeting every member has
tho right to vote lor whom he pleases.
What Conkling Says.
A Washington dispatch of the 19 th
gives a brief outline of what Conkling
has to say. Wo extract as follows :
Walking up and down the room,
Conkling spoke of the President as an
other Hayes, and said the Republican
party was disgusted with this sort of
a President: that the conduct of Gar
field, in his ‘'treachery’’ toward Re-
publicans, would make the party solid
for a stalwart like Grant, and would re
sult in the next Presidential conven
tion nominating Giant or some other
man like him, who, as Conkling says,
can always be found when wanted by
the Republican party on all occasions.
Conkling made the third term quite
prominent in talking with his friends
this afternoon, and spoke of bis fight
as Ihe beginning oi the contest for the
defeat in 1884 of Garfield, and the
nomination of some determined .stal
wart.
Conkling referred with some bitter
ness to the action of Republican Sena
tors in not standing by him.
We hear nothing now concerning the
sale of the Brunswick A Albany rail
road. We notice that Col. Schlatter,
Gerersi Manager or the road, gives no
tice that he will apply to the ap

lature for the passage of an set to ex

What Hr. Stephens Says About It.
Touching the resignation of Senators
Conkiin; and Platt, Georgia’s voluble
little Congressman, Alexander Steph
ens, is reported in a Washington spec
ial to have said: “I am reminded of a
story of a suit between two men about
the payment of a promisory note,
down in Georgia, near where I live.
The defendant admitted he hsd given
the note, and received the money,’bat
said: ‘Gentlemen of the jury, I have
offered to pay him over and over agtio,
and he wouldn’t take the money, be
cause he wanted to sue me just out
of spite. It’s nothing bat spite.' The
jury actually brought in this verdict:
‘We flnd it a case qf spite.’ Simi
larly. continued Mr. Stephens, “I find
this action of Mr. Conkling, a case qf
spite.’ ”
Mr. Stephens also said, w^en some
one remarked that Conkling and Platt
hsd acted very much the same as the
Southern Senators did in 1861, who re
signed their seats just because a Presi
dent was elected whose views did not
suit them: “Of course they have; aad
they should be treated just the same
as the Southern Senators were, and
not be allowed to cctne back nntil their
disabilities are removed.’’
The Georgia Legislature meets in
special season in July, »nd the session
promises to be a lengthy and an inter
esting one. On the House calendar
there are about four hundred bills for
consideration, besides the hundred's
now in the heads and hands of mem
bers. The most important matter for
consideration will be the railroad law.
Mach dissatisfaction has arisen in re
gard to the action of the Commission,
and we doubt not some change will be
made in the law. We have no idea
that the Commission Drill be abolished,
any effort will be made looking
to that end. Modification and elpte
definition iB all that will be expected
or asked, ted wo believe that s spirit of
justice end fairness will grant these
slight alterations.
The New York Sun (Democratic) ad
vises the conversative members of the
New York Legislature to support
Conkling for re-election to the United
States Senate, and gives the follow
ing reasons:
“This should be done above all to re
buke President Garfield. That person
age has set on foot in this matter a sys
tem of combined bribery and intimida
tion. Be has, on the other hand,
threatened Senators with punishment
should they refuse to 'obey his will ;
and'on the other hand, he has*held be
fore them a promise of reward in the
distribution of offices should they com
ply. The threat and the bribery are
alike indecent and pernicious. Under
ordinary circumstances we should not
advise our friends in the Legislature to
give any support to Roscoe Conkling;
bat in the present esse we hold it to be
s daty to stand by him.”
We do not think it Drill matter in
the least with the Democratic party
whether Mr. Garfield or Mr. Conkling
wins the fight The tommotion has
turned over the Radical party ship any
way, and makes it no difference who
strikes bottom first Tl^ re-election of
Conkling wonld only indicate displeas
ure at Garfield, while his rejection
would encourage the President to con-,
tinned cuts at the stalwarts who hoped
in vain to control his administra
tion.

CIIANVI.KB REJECTED.
Washington-, May 23.—The nomi
nation of Wm. E. Chandler as Solici
tor General was rejected by the Senate
in executive session to-day by a vote
of 24 to 19. The Democrats voted
solidly against him and were joined by
Don Cameron—ail the other Republi
cans voting for him except Mitchell,
of Pennsylvania, who wilhheld his
vote.
CONKLINO.
Ai.banv, New Yore, May 20.—The
Conkling wing of the Republican par
ty seems strengthened in spirits this
morning. The change is attributed to
I be action of the President yesterday.
They now say the caucus will be held
next week, and that every Republican
must attend it and abide by ils decision
or suffer repudiation at home. It is
also stated that Conkling and Platt will
be candidates before the calicos, what
ever the result may be. Their friends
declare to ignore them will be to read
them out of the party, which will not
bp permitted. On the other hand Ihe
Garfield mcn stand strong in their de
termination against the re-election of
the ex-Senators and (till insist that
they will not attend the caucus.

Concerning Conkling.
The New York Commercial Bul
letin gives a detailed statement of rail
road operations in the United States
daring the twelve months ending April
1,1881. From this date it appears that
the number of miles actually construct
ed amounts to 6,113, the number of
reals being 134. The number of miles
projected amounts to 14,377, the num
ber of roads being 182. Thirty-seven
projected roads are capitalised to the
amoant of $68,635,000, the total mile
age being 3,894. For each mile of road
there is issued, therefore, about $17,-
625 of capital stock. The number of
miles of roads constructed in 1880
amounted to 6,241; in 1879 4,721; in
1878 to 2,687; in 1877 to 2,281; in 1876
to 2,712; in 1875 to 1,713; in 1874 to
2,105; in 1873 to 4,107; in 1872 to 5,-
878; in 1871 to 7,379; In 1870 to 8,070;
in 1869 to 4,615. It th#s appears that
railroad construction is again approach
ing the magnitude it reached just be
fore the great panic. More miles were
built in 1871 than in any other year.
There were only 23 miles in operation
in 1830; in 1831 72 miles were con
structed. The number of miles in
operation in 1879 was 86,497.
CONELINO’S CHANCES.
Albaxt, May 23.—Members of the
Legislature who thought last week
there was not a slight chance of the re
turn of either Conkling or Platt, are
not now quite so positive, and say it
will depend largely upon the wishes
and desires of the resigning Senators.
Some of the State officers, among
them Governor Cornell, are reported
fs saying that if Conkling deaires to bi
returned, it is the duty of the Republi
can majority to restore him.
CONKLINO COMPLICATIONS,
Albany, X. Y , May 23.—But few
members of the Legislature returned lo
the city until late this evening. Those
who first arrived did not know of the
Conkling-Arthur conferences in Xew
York late to day, and some not nntil
they reached the city. They had left
their homes with the understanding
that it was not at all likely the resig
ning Senators would desire re-election,
and even if they did, members were in
structed by their constituents to vote
against them. Their surprise, there
fore, was a consternation. Senitor
Wagner said : “I hare been spending
Snnday quietly st my home, and know
nothing new sboat the contest, except
tho sentiment of my constituents. The
people of the Mohawk Valley are
aroused upon this question. Ninety-
five out of every one hundred Republi •
cans arc opposed to the re-eleetion of
Conkling and Platt, and they are very
determined in their opposition.”
Senator Pitts said: “I was surprised
at tho feeling among my constituents.
The whole district is on fire and the
storm of indignation agiinat the Sena
tors is felt everywhere. Any one who
votes for the return of Senator Conk-
ive. * He can
mands. The United States Senators
from this State have resigned and thrust .
themselves upon tho Republican mem
bers of this Legislature the alternative |
of supporting or antagtimzmg the ns- 1
tio.ial administration. This issue in-
vo’ves the integrity of the pirty.
The resignation of our Senator* has ,
left the Semite ol the United State, in 1
the control of a Democratic majority. '
The Republican party of the Sena e
cannot submit ils relations to the party
in the nation to the decision of a ui -
jority of a legislative caucus. Xo
in mber ought 10 be excused by scan- |
c ts action from individual responsibili- i
ty. but in a joint convention of the |
L-iislature and in the solemn cxerciss
of l.is duties as a legislator, each min
should cast his vote according to bis
conscience and the wishes of bis con>
stituent*. We do not, therefore, deem
it wise to unite in the call fur a joint
caucus. We remain, dear sir. yours
truly, D. McCauthv. "
Geo. H. Forester.
While 1 do not fully concur in Ihe
above, I deem it unwise and inexpedi
ent at tho present time to join in or re
commend a call for a caucus.
W. W. Rockwell.
uoxauxiamu humiliating them
selves.
Albany, May 25.—From appearances
tiere to-day, no one would think I lore-
was such an important question pend
ing as the one before the Legislature
Meint-crs were in their seats in both
Houses attending closely to business,
and when spoken to regarding the Sena
torial issuejmswered promptly and.de
cisively for or against Conkling as the
case m'ght be. At the Delevan House
Conkling and his associates held levees,
entertaining mostly, however, persons
who are not members of the Legisla
ture.
All sorts of reports have been in cir
culation all day, some evidently set
afloat aa feelers and others as entire
fiction. Among those given ont this
evening was one to the effect that thc
fnends of Conkling say if he is return
ed to the Senate he will abstain from
attacking the administration, and farth
er that if it is demanded in the interest
of harmony, Platt will withdraw as a
candidate and the administration sec
tion may name a Senator to take bis
place.
It was also reported that President
Garfield has approved of each sn ar
rangement, and that he urges his friends
lo accept the proposition. It was added,
however, that tbe proposition was re
ceived with not a little distrust, and
had no effect upon those who are de
termined not to go into a coacos. If
accepted, they say the election of their
man in place of Platt must first be con
summated before they will cast a vote
for ex-Senator Conkling. This report
was industriously pat forward, but a
little iov. stigation set it at rest. The
administration men said that if the
President urge anything of tbe kind,
his friends would be the first to be
notified of his wishes in the matter,
and they have not been so notified.
There is a growing anxiety to know
whom the opponents of Conkling will <
support—not only for his place but for
that of Platt.

few attempts to defend the action of
tho Senators now. Those who speak
in their behalf argue that the State
cannot dispenso with the services of
Mr. Conkling; that the Senate is too
evenly balanced to part with a Senator
so practical and so serviceable to the
Republican party, and they claim that
with fair treatment at tbe hands of
President Garfield Mr. Conkling will
support his administration ranch more
effectually than any other Senator in

beieg re-elected and arc only anxious
to have the rote as nearly unanimous

to hold a caucus,

Whatever else may be said of Jeffer
son Davis, it cannot be denied that he
has the courage of his convictions, lie
spoke them the other day at the foot
of the Stonewall Jackson statue. Neith
er is there anything approaching a deli
ance of pablic opinion in his manner of
expressing them. He does not thrust
himself offensively upon the attention
of a people from whom he chooses in
his nnimpasrionod judgment to remain
politically alienated.
There is kinship to heroism, indeed,
in the consistency of principle which
prefers the stigma of perpetual estrarge-
ment to a purchase of pardon at the
cost of self-respect—the brand of trea
son to a confession of nnfelt guilt.
Many others, as thoroughly identi
fied with secession as Mr. Davis, both
in sentiment and act, have chosen an
unconditional surrender to the’force of
events, rather than stubborn and fruit
less adherence to a cause that is hope
lessly lost. Thore are men of this
character now in the service of the
Federal Government
There is even a “Confederate Briga
dier” in the United States Senate trad
ing his vote with the men who but yes
terday would have hang both him and
Jeff Davis to “a soar apple tree.”
Bat the President ol the late South
ern Confederacy has elected to accept
the situation in a different way. lie
may be wrong, bnt he ia not servile.
He may not be just to himself, bnt he
is certainly magnanimous in laying all
he has upon the ajtar aa an expiation
for the sins of his rebellions countiy-
mcn.
He has been, in a measure, forced to
a position from which men of smaller
mind and a less religion.* sense of per
sonal honor would have stood aloof.
The whole responsibility foi the war of
the rebellion has been put upon his
shoulders—not only the original (salt,
bat the nAnncr of ils conduct, it errors
of policy, its disastrous conclusions.
Upon Jefferson Davis also are con
centrated all tbe surviving resentments
and passions of the great straggle. He
is the embodiment or all its crimes.
He is tbe focqs of the “external bate”
that rising generations are taught to
bear him.
May we not say, then, without an
imputation of sympathy with disloyalty,
that there is something approaching
sublimity in the faith that leads him
;ly to bear the curse and j
to crucifixion?
with such as he,how small
and poor in ail respects of manhood
seem those who have chained them- :
selves to the chariot of the conqueror
to prove the abjectness of their recanta
tion. Yet Jefferson Davis, ready to die,
