Tom Scott, the great railroad king, died at his home in Pennsylvania 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, ton newspaper correspondents have thought to tell as s word about Ms- hone. He seems to* have been com pletely overshadowed by this Conkling holiness. Tue complexion of tho New York Legislature, which will now be called upon to.elect two United States Sena tors, is as follows : Senate— Republi cans, 25 ; Democrats, 8.

Grant is working out his Mexican plans admirably well. After finishing up internal improvement* in the shspe of rsilvotds, etc., wc shall look for an attempt from him to improve the gov ernment of the Mexican Republic by demanding its marriage with Uncle Sam. ■ 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 lemma. Snch a turn in the political scales of the nation would, just st this time, bo s grand victory for the Democracy, and a death-blow to Radicalism, and for this reason we are sorry that we can see nothing which irspires us to share in the fopd hopes of many of our Isadora. 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 , . scenes attending a sine ait adioorn- I branch of the Leg- mcn . were missing.

Presioent Garfield gave Blanche K. Bruce (negro) the cx-Scnator from Mississippi, quite a respectable posi tion, that of Register of the Treasury vice Scofield, transferred to the place of Judge of the Court of Claims. This recognition was brought about by force of circumstances, and is in no wise ob jected to by the Domocracy-of the . The New York Herald, which has 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 proaching session of the Georgia Legis lature for the passage of an set to ex tend the time heretofore given the Brunswick Railroad Company in which to complete its road and extensions of Wealao see that a correspondent of tne Brunswick Advertiser and Ap peal is urging the new company to re tain the services of the present officials. According to the St. Louis Globt- Democrat'i City of Mexico correspon dent, Gen. Grant is about to return home disappointed. Says'the corres pondent: “General Grant will not get his railroad concession from this Con gress, and wiil leave for borne in ten days, an angry and disappointed man. j t ^ however, that a law will be authority to make contracts and great The concession sought by may, therefore, be ob- t the President with- 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. Mr. Blair and Mr. Frye spoke ear nestly in favor of l.is confirm! tion. Among the nominations which worn over at the final adjournment without action was thqt or Wm.

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. Adverse to , Caueua.

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. gXctu fttlucutiscmcnls.

As semblyman E. A. Carpenter, of Suffolk, raid bis constituents were against the action of Conkling and Platt, but that he favored their re-election, nererthe- leas. So tar aa the members of the Legislature are concerned, there are 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 the body. They ray they feel sure of beieg re-elected and arc only anxious to have the rote as nearly unanimous as possible. They claim a clear- ma jority of 106 Republicans, and expect to hold a caucus, Aa things look to-night, everything depends on this caucus.

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.
