RtsiA prohibits the importation of cxplo-nvcf-and Bismarck thinks they are dangerous in Germany. The Democrats elected their Mayor in Cincinnati, yesterday, and their entire city ticket ticket in Columbus, Ohio. Good enough! The colored Republicans are adding somewhat to the darkness which envelops !arrielJ's Administration. They demand recognition. His Excellency (Iover.vor Porter is not likely to call another extra session right away, and it therefore .-stands the Legislature in hand to push thintrs. Ik the Republicans want to continue the dead-lock, Democrats .should see to it that tliey are accommodated. No back down no compromises. Just sit it out, if it takes a'l stimmer. Mahone put a chip on his shoulder and Uarc.l our Dan to knock it oil". Dan, unex-pecU-dly to the grinning republican sharps of !we Senate, did knock it oft". Mahnne said "you're another," and the matinee cIo-:tl. Scn ator Voorhees, having placed Mahone outside the pale of recognition by gentlemen, can not afford to fight him. No one would think of accepting a challenge trom a Benedict Arnold, or a Judas Iscariot, and Mahone represents just such traitors. "Washington reports have it that Calico C harley has been of great service to fiartiehl since the inauguration. It is hinted that he loaned Garlield the money to start on and he has been shinning around the White House for a month waiting for a settlement. Thk Republican organs are beginning to ia!l into line under opposing chieftains. Some are rallying to Conkling's standard, others to Blaine's. If the impending battle should turn out to be a Kilkenny-cat fight, it will prove a blessing to the country. Nrw York has, as a penalty of her filthy streets, cases ef true spotted typhus fever, whkh only originates where great filth abounds. And it is quite possible that yellow fever, which is born of filth, may al.-o make its appearance in New York. Senator Yoobuee would not probably accept a challenge and not because he is afraid, either; but if Mr. Mahone or any of his Republican allies care to have their "heads punched," we have an idea that they can be accommodated by pushing Mr. Yoorhees beyond a evrtain point. At one time at a Washington hotel dinner table old Zack Chandler ins'ulted Mr. Yoorhecs, and the latter smashed "old Zach over the head with a oitcher of milk. Only this and nr thing more. Ccxki.no schools are coming into great favor. Culinary science is coming to the front. It is found that good cooking ha much to do with domestic happiness, while bad cooking can only be tolerated by saints, and saints nowadays are scarce. The cooking schools pr.iose to make good cooking fashionable a matter of high art something sujerior to poor painting and inferior piano pounding. The idea is a good one, and it is quite possible that the time is near at hand when the young lady will exhibit bread and soups, etc, as the triumphs of her education instead of poor paintings, a cart load of which wouldn't buy a breakfast. Senator Common, on Sam rty last, had a very important amendment inserted in the bill then under discussion, concerning the settlement and distribution of decedents' estates. The amendment proposed by Senator Compton, referring to preferred claims, was as follows: A s cm, not exceeding $ö0, for wages due any employe for wirk and labor performed for decedent wUhin two months prior to hi death. This amendment of Senator Compton is in the interest of laboringmen, and is, therefore, a move in the right direction, and is simply an act of justice to men whom the laws ought to protect against the rapacity of heirs and a class of creditors who uo ofen manage to have them wait for a settlement of their claims. ' The Methodist Episcopal Church North in some localities has concluded that the use of tobacco is inconsistent with true Christianity, and to get at the subject squarely the following questions have been put to the Reverend Editor of the New York Christian Advocate. The questions are as follows: "Can a tobacco user be sanctified? Is a tobacco user a fit person to be appointed Presiding Elder? Can a Christian man who believes the use of tobacco to be sinful, con scir ntioa-ly work in a grocery store when? it is sold?" It doesn't follow, says the Advocate, that a man is not a Christian, he says, because he thinks it right to use tobacco. Many excellent Christians have smoked or .chewed all their lives, and nevertheless have

"furnished the best -evidence of piety, and died in holy triumph.' But at this late day, with all the light no A' thrown on the effects of tobacco, the editor thinks It Iniprohable, "if not iniosible," that any man Insisting In it use can attain to the grace of entire sanctincatton in this life. Yet to say that no tobacco user ttiould le suffered to occupy the higher offices of the Methodis Episcopal Church would be, the editor says, "to rule out "three-fourths of all the Presiding Klders the Church has ever had, and several of its most etilcient Bishops," Indeed, he thinka it a rather absurd Inconsistency that the Church should exact from candidates for the ministry a pledge tö abstain from tobacco, while leaving the Bishops, Presiding Elders, ministers, stewards, trustees, class leaders and private membersat.liberty to smoke, chew, or Miufl at tneir own discretion. To the inquiring grocer's clerk the editor replies that, the use of tobacco not beng essentially sinful he can safely continue to sell tobacco to his employer' customers, unless his conscience condemns him for so doing. In that case he must look tip a new job. "But we have no doubt," says the editor of the Christian Advocate, "that SL Paul never contemplated such a refinement of conscience." It may !ossibIy occur toagood many Christians that tobacco is not the worst thing that gets into a professor's mouth.

COUNTY TREASURERS. The Sentinel, some days since, briefly referred to a bill, now pending in the Legislature, providing that all County Treasurers now in office, shall hold their offices until the 1st day of January next, after they would have expired, as the law now. is. There are several cogentreasons why the bill should pass. As the Luv now stands, fully one-half of the County Treasurers go out of office at a most inconvenient time, it being when about one-half of the second, or November, installment of taxes have been paid. This creates confusion, oud often seriously deranges business in the Treasurer's office. Besides, if the bill now pending becomes the law, new duplicates would be charged to the incoming Treasurer. As the case now stands the incoming Treasurer takes the duplicate when about half the taxes have been paid. Under the present law, the official term of County Treasurers expires anywhere from the 1st of August to the 20th of November. Ii the pending bill becomes a law, the time for going out of office would not only be uniform, but at a time much better for the public good. The following is the bill to which reference has been made: A bill to require semi-annual settlements by Con my Treasurers with Hoards of Commissioners, and fixing the times wtieu Comity Treasurers shall take their oltices; repealing all laws in conflict therewith, and declaring an emergency. Section 1. JJe it enacted bv the General Assembly of the State of Ini'iana. that the County Treasurers of the several Couuties of this State shall ma.' e semi-annual settlements with the Hoards of Coi: nty Commissioners of tneir respective Counties at their December term in each year, v hlch settlements shall lie on account of all funds with which they have been chargeable, and shall be made in all respects as the annual settlements are made at June term of said Boards of Commissioners: but such December settlements shall not supersede the annual June settlement. Sec. 2. All County Treasurers now in office hall hold their otliees until tho 1st day of January next alter they would have expired as the law now is; and shall on that day turn over to their successors in ollice all the books, papers and property belonging to said office, and shall also turn over to their said successors all moneys shown by their settlement with the Hoard of Commissioners to be iu their bauds, taking proper receipts tnerefor, which receipt shall be tiled with the County Auditor who shall give a quietus therefor, which proceedings when so completed shall operate a$ a tinal discharge of vii l outgoing Treasurer and las, sureties on his otiicial bond, on accouut of all matters Included in such settlement, and shall charge said incoming Treasurer with the amount so received. Sec. o. The terms of County Treasurers who have been elected to office, shall begin on the first day of January next after they would have commenced by the provisions of the laws as heretofore existing, and the election of persons whoso terras by this act begin more than two years after their election is hereby legalized. Sec. 4. All laws and parts of laws In conflict with the provisions of this act are heieby repealed. Sec 5. An emergency exists for the immediate tskiiiR effect of this act, wherefore the same shall lake effect and be iu force from and after iu passage. It will be seen that the bill is designed to simplify business and that it works no wrong to any one. This being the case, we see no good reason why it should not pass by unanimous consent. It ought to meet with general approval. v MAHONE IN THE SENATE. It is well enough for the public to understand with asnuch definiteness as the facts andfiguresoftlieca.se admit, ho Mahone got into the Senate, what are his antecedents, why he is an apostate, as also the price pa.d for him by the Republicans. When Mahone was elected Senator from Virginit tho Log-1 islature, according to the Tribune Aln.inac, stood as follows: .' . Senate. House. Joint baUot. Republicans.- 'J 17 " 2t Democrats 31 82 1Ü Of Democratic members of the House. 41 are Debt pavers and 41 Keadj listen. The latter combined with l,of the 17 Republican memoirs and elected a Keadju&tcr Speaker, dividing with the Kepubli an the subordinate ofliecs. In ihe Senaie the Keadjusters have 1, the Debt-payers iß, the Republicans uniting to .make up thy Keudjuster vote. This classification of jiarties, says a Wash ington dispatch, shows that the RepubMcansH had less than one-fourth of the Legisl Uure, but by a coalition with the Keadjusters they were able to divide the subordinate places with Mahone's followers. When the election of Senator took place, an attempt was made to commit the friends of Mahore definitely to one side or the other, but as a positive declaration either way would have broken the coalition and defeated their candidate, they evaded any direct aiswer to repeated inquiries on this point. In the course of the discussion, Mr. Payne, Democrat, said: "As General Mahone was to go to the United States Senate without any avowed principles, he hoped he was not to be in the market." It is seen by the figures that Mahone, by going over to the Republicans, became a political traitor. He had never acted with the Republican party. So hostile was he to that party that he got up a Heparate Hancock ticket in Virginia, which received 31,527 votes. It is, however, probable that Mahone sold otit before he was elected Senator, and that from the first he was in the market. When Mahone cast his first vote in the Senate the bargain on his part was fulfilled. His purchasers then proceeded to deliver the goods, and this was done by the "extraordinary appointment of Mahone, over the heads of old Republican Senators, as Chairman of the Committee on Agriculture, and as a member of the Cora- ! mittees on Naval Affairs, of Postoflices and Tost Roads, and of Education and Labor. This unprecedented recognition of a new Senator, and he not an avowed Republican, in a body where the traditions of seniority

have long been so sanctified on both sides as to exclude .the highest distinction from prominence if not regularly attained by the roster, plainly tells IU own story. John Sherman, after returning to the Senate, after sixteen years of former service there, was required to take a secondary pluce on the Finance Committee. But, if anything was wanting to make the bargain between Mr. Mahone and the Republicans patent to all the world, it is furnished by the action of the Republican caucus, which nominated the . new officers of the Senate. George C. Oorham, who is presented for Secretary of the Senate, is the intimate personal friend of Mahone, who originated the coalition and brought it to success. Mahone was in a position to dictate the nomination, and he used his power with effect. Henry II. Kiddlebergcr, nominated for Serjeant-at-Arms, is one of Mahone's chief aids in Virginia, and tho patronage of his office is three times as great as that of the Secretary of the Senate, and it will be utilized to strengthen Mahone's hand at home." When Mr. Yoorhecs charges Mahone with japostacy, the facts absolutely establish the truth of the charge, und for Mahone there is no way of escape. That Mahone was in the market, that be had a price, aud that it was paid, or promised by his purchasers, there is no logger a shadow of doubt, and that he now occupies the position of the most venal and corrupt man that ever disgraced the Senate, not excepting Kellogg or any other carpetbagger, is the belief of every honorable man in the country who is at all familiar with with the facts in the case. That Mahone will be subjected to constant torture is certain. He deserves the lash every day, and men of all parties who despise political renegades ought to lay onand shout damned be he who first cries, hold, enough!

Statistics, with regard to the winter packing of hogs, have been prepared and published by the Cincinnati Price Current. Winter packing includes the period from November 1 to March 1, four months.

During the season of 180, that is, from March 1 to November 1, there were slaughtered 5,323.89s head of hogs, the average net weight of which was 983, 109, 3. pounds, yielding an average weight of 1G3,197,754 pounds of lard. The number of hogs slaughtered during the winter season of 1880-81 and the summer season of 1880 was 12,213,301, giving a total of 2,420,301,997 pounds. From such figures it is sota difficult matter to estimate the commanding importance of this branch of American commerce. Dr. Rochard Bodlet, Dean of the Woman's Medical College in Philadelphia, recently addressed letters to all the surviving graduates of the College for the purpose of ascertaining bow they had prospered asphysicians. There have been 27G graduates, of whom 241 are living. Of the 244 only 1S1 answered the questions which Dr. Bodley propounded, sixty-three professing to be the sole custodians of their defeats or 8iic cess as M. D's. It is stated that of "these 1S1. 'M had given up the practice of medicine; of the remaining 151, ninety-eight had properly devoted themselves to the treatment of diseases peculiar to women ; fiftynine of them were engaged as resident or visiting physicians in some Asylum, Hospital or School for Girls. The towns of Springfield, Mass., and Charlotte, Mich., alone had recognized the equality of women by choosing lady practitioners ' as City Physicians As Jthe all-important question as to salary was answered only by 76 of the 214 who received letters, and were still in practice, we are forced to suppose that 138 are not succeeding to their own satisfaction. Of these 70, 4 repor'i annual incomes of from $15,000 to $20,00v; 10, less than $1,000 ; 24, between $1,000 and $2,000, and so on; the average for the "( was $2,907. The question as to how many were employed as teachers of medicine was answered affirmativelyby 51 of the 7o It was to be expected that the percentage would be large, for the natural instinct of a woman leads her to teach all she knows, as soon as she knows it, if not a little before. Of the Medical Societies throughout the country 73 have admitted women to practice. A number of the graduates are of the opinion that the profession of medicine is not favorable for matrimonial alliances, and it is quite probable, if further investigation proves corroborative, that the increase of women doctors 'will be slow. lr there are Secretaries hi the President's Cabinet who will not consent to hold their places unless the President defers td their wishes in making his appointments. It should be ascertained without delay. There is no want of good and efficient men to fill Cabinet places, and the resignation of one or more of them, nnon the eondl tions named, will produce no more dlstnrhance than the resignation of a ITofessor who finds he is not the directing force ol tne College oi aiusie. Cincinnati Commercial. The trouble with Garfield is that he is trying to harmonize the factions to organize a happy family out of materials as dissimilar in their nature as wolf and weasel ot dog and donkey. The first thing he did alter his inauguration was to abdicate in

favor of Conkling and Blaine. Asa result, every time the Cabinet meets, as in the days of Job, the devil comes also. James represents Conkling, Lincoln represents Grant Windom and Blaine can hardly be said to represent Garfield, though they are known to be hostile to Grant Kirk wood and Hunt are not credited with representing anything in particular, while McYeagh proiose.s to take care of himself. A more discordant, belligerent and jealous set were never got together as a Cabinet. Matters pertaining to other appointments are, if possible, still worse. The advice of the Cabinet is certain to lead tiarfield into ceaseless and serious di faculties. Senators and Representatives are consulted, and their views disregarded. The moment Garfield attempts to play President he is subjected to torture. The more obstinate he is the more cruel are his tormentors. Conkling proposes to fight, McVeagh proposes to fight, Blaine proposes to fight if certain contingencies arise and now the President is told that if he can not make the Cabinet come to terms to lei the fighting element go. But, in the event of a break-up, what chance is there for an . improvement? None at all, unless Garfield selects such officials from the faction that will swear eternal fidelity to Garfield. To do that is to invite war. Pending these difficulties, the Senate is trying to deliver the goods to Mahone, and all nominations hang fire. If there should be a break up of the Cabinet, Indiana stands ready to furnish Garfield with any amount of raw material for Cabinet or any other offices. Indiana could not be better pleased than to see such a catastrophe overtake Garfield.

John A. Log ax Black Jack has just waked up to the fact that lie was loyal in 18('0-(51, and talks of defending his record.

Mary Clemmf.r, so long known as a Washington correspondent, has abandoned her letters, and new devotes herself almost entirely to literature. Rev. Dr. J. E.

The slate for the Federal offices in Louisiana, which was presentod to the President, and which included Lonjftreet's reeall, has therefore been changed. Secretary Hu h, of New Mexico, has in his office, in Santa Fe. a book written by Diego de V&rdras, who reconquered New Mexico in 1C94. The book describes the reeouqnest and is in a good state of preservation. The badly-kept offices at Santa Fe are depositories of the most ancient archives In the United States, some of them running back nearly a hundred years before the 111grinl landing at Plymouth. Mr. William Powell. Sr., who died in Cincinnati recently, aged ninety-one years, helped John Heathcote, of Lcicesteshire, England, to construct the first machinery for the manufacture of lace The working classes of England, fearing that the machinery would curtail the need for manual labor, held meetings and denounce" thed inventor. Heathcote's factory was destroyed by a mob. Mr. Powell came to this country in 181)0. Mb. Berth f.r has at last resumed work on hi long delayed "Life of Christ" that the Beecher Tilton scandal "knocked higher than a kite' same years ago, according to Mr. Wllkeson, the publisher. The first volume was issued some seven years ago, and after the Tilufh row popular Interest in the work ceased. As Beecher has been recently sued by Wilkeaon for failure to fulfill his contract, it is probable that the work is resumed to evade legal damages, but there will now be little or no profit in the book. Mrs. Scsas Wills Fletcher, the American medium, who is soon to be put on trial at London on a charge of coaxing a woman to part with her jewels through pretjnded communications from the spirit world, ba caused a stampede in London society by announcing her Intention to call as witnesses to her high character every titled personage who ever sat at a seance with herself and husband. Among the personages whom she threatened to drag unwillingly In the witness box was one very exalted indeed. Mere rumor of such a event caused intense consternation, and svery effort is being mod? to prevent the "scandal which wouk ensue. Ok the late excellent New-Eiigander, Nathaniel Peering, It is related that he was very fond of the drama, and on one occaiuB went to see "Uncle Tom' Cabiu" at Portland. The piece w as well played, and Mr. Deering became so absorbed that when the auction scene was reached and the poor black woman was being torn from ber family, he forgot all save the victim, of ti3 block. Just a she was beuig bid off to the cruel master for f.".000, the audience wer startled to see him leup from his box to tlue stage crying out: "Six thousand dollars:" The kuid-hearted New-Englander was as sensitive as sympathetic, and his disisay when be recollected himself was great. Alvui Bronson died at his residence in Oswego, N. Y., oa Saturday morning. At the session of the New York Senate ol 1824, in order to prevent the vote oi New York from being cast for William II. Crawford, of Georgia, for President., a bill was introduced giving the election to ths, people Seventeen Senators a maiorlty ot tbe Sen ate noosed and defeated the bill. These Senafbrs were, known as "the Infa mom seventeen" on account tt the popular clamor against them. Mr. Bronson was on of the seventeen and the last surf Ivor. In the War of

When Mr. Dillon eotup to catch a Western expros train he seized Mr. Tilden's hat aud carried it.to Omaha, where it Is now exhibited as a curiosity. Congressman Cox, now on the eve of going to Europe for an extended tour, writes to a friend in Washington as follows: "Yes, I am off for Europe on the 9th of April, if I have to swim across. Haven't had much use lor water generally, but shall try to use it this time. If necessary. If I am not back in my seat w hen the session, extra or otherwise, commences, please have me put ou Committees where two things will happen little talk and much work. I am tiied of this 'chinchin' business." Secretary Blaine said to a Hartford gentletlemau: "When I first began my political career In Maine I was a candidate for the Legislature. It was In the Maine law time, when excitement on the temperance question was running high. I had two papers and was editing one. In the heat of the canvass a liquor advertisement was handed into tho business office and appeared in the paper. Of course I knew nothing of It. But the next day that advertisement w as placarded all over the city of Augusta in large type, and over it iu big letters was the heading 'Jim Blaine's .views on temperance!' I concluded that If I was geinglnto politics I could not be a success and still be an editor, aud my first step was to sell out the newspapers and be independent of Ihein." roiNTKns. The New York Herald says; "The voice is the voice of Garfield, but the hand is the hand of Blaine." The new Secretary of the Navy knows something about one ship, anyhow. We refer to courtship. He has had four wives. Pubixg the last twelve years twenty-one American girls have traded off their good looks and their fathers money for empty European titles. Tns Springfield Republican says: "It looks as if the President had readied the first fork in his new road and he finds the partisan way In a quest for harmony a hard one to travel." The Springfield Itepqblican says: "No Administration can henceforth escape rcjorm except by wallow ing through the division of spoil and it is rapidly becoming easier to reform than to wallow." "I am always cool," was the boastful remark of Robinson: "I never forget myself." "No, we never knew you to." And a sweet smile lighted with heavenly effulgence every face. Boston Transcript. A French iady sent her maid to buy some flesh-colored" stockings. The- servant returned w ith stockings jet black. The auger of the mistress soon gave way to laughter when she recollected that her maid was a lady of color. In London, only a short while ago, when Royal folks went to the play the papers used to say they honored the Theater w ith their presence. Nowsuch journals as the Times and News merely remark tnat they witnessed tho performance. The Boston Transcript (Republican) says: "If the newspaper correspondents at Washington would let Conkling alone for a little while, allowing him to silently chew the cud of 'sweet and bitter reflection,' it might reduce him to the ordinary dimensions of a Senator." The following verse Is sung with no impious intention In San Francisco revival meetings amotig the sailors: "Oh. haul away, Lord, haul away! And haul my soul ashore. So cheerily, oh, Lord, cheerily oh! A long pull and a strong pull, and a pull for evermore. The train had just emerged from a tunnel, and a vinegar-faced maiden of thirty-five summers remarked to her gentleman companion, "Tunnels are such bores" which nobody can deny. But a young lady of about sweet eighteen, who sat in the seat immediately in front of the ancient party, adjusted her hat, brushed her frizzes back, anil said to the perfumed young man beside her. "I think tunnels are awfully nice." The l ew York World fays: "We will not cal General Mahone a 'little pot,' tor it would not be civil; but he is 'soon hot,' and it is scarcely to be expected! that, as a 'high-toned ex-Con-feJerato,' he should like to be called a political trader or a Keputtator. But if a man will engageIn political traffic he must expect to be called a political trader.

The Globe-Democrat sajs: "The Republican party of the will not willingly see- Mr. Conkling Insulted. He is to-da?,. by rfeM of genius, ability and eminent services, the foremost man in. the party. He has- faults which his best friends admit, but he has overshadowing virtues ihich his bitterest enemiis can not ignore. Tho-man who makes an unprovoked war upon bin will find no followingin this section, though he had the patronage of tea Presidents to bestow end the lackeys of ten Adn inistratkins to applaud." The Memphis Appeal says: "So long as Mahone was a Democrat h i was denounced as a traitor and a repudiating rvbber; Twit when he knocked at the door of the Republican sanhedrim aud tolii Conklii c and Cdmuuds, and ifoar and Logan that hhad falliu, andancinted bimseliwlth tb oil of.

Young, beautiful, educated and poor, aae began life as a governess. Her father f.nd mother died during the war. Iler personal attractions aroused the jealousy of her mistress, and she was politely dismissed. One day, as she listlessly turned over some books at a stall in the Rue d'nauteville, she came caae across one which treated of divina

The Washington rpcclal of the Chicago Time, uuied April 3, says: Mr. Mahone Is suffering from extreme nervonsne. He can neither eat nor sleep. The mental Mrain of the struggle In the Senate has told very a te . . neavuy upon bis slfgbt physical strength. The culmiiiatinK Hcene of Friday between him and lau oorhees so overcame him that he has been confined ever since to his room bv an attack of nervous prostration. Some of the Itt-inocrat think that if tuis tight should be kept up much longer the strain ou Mahone would kill him outright, and thus end the Republican control of the senate. It is believed to-uigM that the dead-lock w ill be broken to-morrow or some tiiue durini; the week. The Republicans have been seriously lntiiieiiced bv the protests coming up to them from all parts of the country over their refusal to proceed to the business for which the siecial teflon was called. A prominent Democratic Senator informed Ihe Times correspondent to-day that hi party colleagues were not exactly agreed as to what thev would do on the nomination of Judge Kolerf.-iu. "I" pon general principles." aid he, "ihe K-uio-cratsare inclined to pursue the poik-y which will be best calculated to bring about a serious division in the Republican party." He, however thouKht that if Mr. Conkling could succeed in showing that he had been deceived about the aoiHiintment, the Senate would vote to reject Robertson. He did not believe that Mr. Coi.kling could prove this and was rather inclined to think that Robertson would be confirmed. The Democrats proposed to take no chances on William K. Chandler. Unless they can have pledges from enough Republican Senators to make absolutely certain of his defeat, they w ill filibuster against considering his name in the executive session. The whole force of the deadlock is said to be a fine strategic move by Conkling. who ha not made a sptech during the discussion, and does not propose to He and his close friend, Gorham, arranged the trade with Mahone. txniKiings sole idea was to get possession of the Committees, so as to build a barricade in front of the adminstrati.m from which to levy tribute and demand concessions. It is fact that In the deal he and his friends secured con trol of the lending Committees to which all imortant nominations must go. What has aggravated Mr. Mahone's nervous depression is the fact that is bcglnnlug to duwn upon him that Mr. Conkling has merely used him a- a cat's oaw, and does not care one penny whether Mahone receives his reward or not. It is a matter of serious consequence to Mr. Mahone that he should succeed in getting hold of some patronage, or at least receive some substantial indication of power to come. He needs all the help he can get in the spring elections in Virginia for Circuit Judges. If he could sucs-eed in getting his man Kiddleberger, it would help him iu a very marked degree. The Republicans, if they give up the dead lock this week, will le able to say to Mr. Mahone: "We tried to do all we could for you. and you can not blame us for not succeeding." They know now that there is no daDger of Mahone's going over to the Pemocrsts. A Disappointed "ltrotlier." The Washington "Capital" published the following on Sunday morning: During the early yars of Grant's Administration, when Mr. Garfield was a member of the House, he was called on one day by a very intimate old friend from Tennessee. whoe father had been an Old Line Whig, and he himself a stanch Unionist and sufferer for the cause. On top of all these eminent' qualifications, he was of the Camplellite luitli. and would make occasional pilgrimages to the shrine of Brother" Garfield, on the pilgrimage alluded to, he had some favrtrtoa'Jc iu the way of patronage, and the good brother promptly offered his services In hi lehalf. The next day they called toeeiher at the White House, and sent their cards in to President Grant. They waited and waited until forbearance had aiout ceased to be very much of a virtue, and Mr. Garfield took occasion to open the valve that connected with his indignant leel'.ngs. He thought it singular that the door should not open more rapidly on its binges to admit such a familiar visitor. "Well, well," replied the Campbellite brother, "you may be here yourself soma day. and then you'll change all this nonsense." "I certftinly will," responded General Garfield; "my old friends will never have to wait." Remembering this cheerful bon mot, ten years old, the Camplellite brother pulled the White House d(or-bell the other day and passed in his card, anticipating that "Brother" Garfield would consume about two minutes in rushing to bis em brace. After two hours had been fruitlessly con sumed in wearing out one of the chairs, the offended brother urged on Charlie to call atten tion to his card, as it must have been overlooked. So the next trip Charlie made to the Interior he pointed to the anxious pasteboard in question. and brought back a reply that the President would see the owner ol it in a snort time, ine old man thereupou came to the conclusion that "Brother ' Garlield had forgotten his good Bitentious in cae he should ever come into his Kingdom, and he left with the remark that his time was too valuable. He is, however, the first man tliat has yet left without an interview. The Republican Hum pus. The St. Louis Republican's Washington special of April 2 says: If Conkling really desires toSght. the President and Secretary Blaiue appear to lie willing to accommodate him. Lord Koscoe has never io his life been busier than he has ben during the last ten days among Senators, both Republican and Democratic. He has beyond doubt made some converts, but there are indications that the talking and persuasioa and protestation are not to be all on one side. The President and Blaine are doing some effective work. Republican Senators are pivon to understand at the vVbite House that the deadlock busiuess in the SMiiatc has gone far enough, in fact too far: that it can benefit nobody now except Conkling and the Democrat, and that it is already working injury to the Administration and the paity at large by unnecessarily obstructing public business and delaying the confirmation of a large number of nominations, which can he hung up no longer without serious results. The Republican cauc;:s called Jor Monday morning is the llrst triumph of the President. It is also evident that the President mui Blaine are actively attempting to stike some oi the guns which have been tired so effectively dutiug the week by the Conkiiugitea. The Uobe.tnon Contnovrray. A Washington special says that a friend of (Ton kling has this to say : About one thlngeverybodv Is mistaken. ConkUtig.ii seeking no fight with the Administration, ani wants none. Robertson is his personal enecay, a man who has made a malignant war on Conkling. outside ' of mere politics, for several years. No man could have been selected who wou A have been so personally obnoxious to him. If any other Republican iu New York had been chosen, whether a Conkling nan or not. l am sure Conklinp would have advocated his continuation. I know this is true, because I have heard Couk,llng say this. Maine Is tryiiigto put an affront upon Conkling, and is reaiiy me man wno n provokioga tight. Mr. Conkiing thus far has not had hi wishes regarded about a single .New York appoiutuienL Those that every one thought were conceded to him were not asked by. him. but wer- the results of promises-made by Garfield beforehand without consulting with Conkling. I am sure that when the Senator comes to state to the Senate how he has been deceived and illused in the matter of the appointment of Judge Robertson, the Senate will vote uuauimously to rejvt him. Kenwarrt.Ph.llp. An Inter-Ocean special from Washington, dated A 3 II 3, says: Among the callers' at the WhitHouse to-day was Kenward Philp, wh is known to the co mtry through the association of his name wiUi the forued Morey letter. He was mrooinpanVed by William llalliday. who has charse of Mr. l'hilp'a aÄurs relating to that letter. W'jen asked by a w-porter about his object in calluig on th. President, he said, laughrjgly, that as Preside it Gar4eld and himself were the only two people who were Injmed by the forged letter, he wanted to ask the Presideut to fJvide his salary with him. Seriously, he ssid t he District Attorney at New York had notified b couusel, Judi;e Yoeder and V. W. Brooks, that it was the intentiii to drop the prosecution ol him. Te DistrkH Attorney would go Into open Court and make a statement, unqualified and emphatic, that Ihe theory of prosecution of 1'fcilp wa faKe fn.m the start. Immediately then-alter. V.
