lister to Spain wins even greater admiration
than, as d diplomat. Few could suppress q
feeling Of incredulous surprise when General
.sickles recently announced that he had not
made q dollar by the rise In Erie, from specu-
.lations on his own account; but, while giving
!himrthe credit for veracity which he asks, IT, i
still evident that, whether or not he specu-
lated la Erie, his leave of absence from Madrid
has been used to good effect. The English
.~stoekholders Of Erie, 1t is now stated, have
paid, General slckles q fee OF one hundred
thousand dollars, and matters have been ar
ranged SO that he, shall have, Conkling's seat
inn:fhe Senate when that worthy goes into the
Cabinet, after Grants reelection. The latter
reward is, Of course, contingent, but the fee
is:oash In hand; so that, taking all things Into

at. the pdbllc expense, has cleared a small
fortune by acting as agent of foreign stock
spectators, has made several of his allies
rich through the rise In Erie, and has fxed
things.at Albany and Washington for his polit-
ica1, succession. This trip has been so highly
successful that the return of the wandering
diplomat in the fall has become a certainty.
