We kindly advise those of our Republi-
can friends who are not cordial in their
feelings toward Senator CoNKLINo, not to
go too far in their manifestations of an
tagonsm.
In point Of statesmanlike ability, force of
character, political skill, personal dignity,
purity, and integrity, and in his hold upon
the affections of the party, the Senator
leads the front rank of New York Repub-
licans and no war can be made upon him,
eithe- within the party organization or
around It's edges, that can enure 10 the ad-
vantage OF those who make ii.
Why was not Gov. MORGAN nominated
for Nice-President at Cincinnati? Be
cause he had made himself known US
opposed TO those who had endeavored
to secure the nomination of Senator CoNK-
LIMO Tor President. This is why he was
laid aside and Mir. WHEELER taken in his
place.
The lesson is one that ought not TO be
forgotten; and the men who are now
planning and intriguing for the humilia-
ton of Mr. CoSKLING in his own State,
would do well TO profit by It us much us
possible.

What a Republican Newspaper Thinks OF
secor X obbe rson.

Secretary Robson took the law into his
own hams, and without the KNOWLEDGE OF con-
sent OF tue senate removed the naval fund de-
posts from the old reliable. safe and solvent
house Of Blring Bros and placed the money In
tue wildcat banking concern Uf Jay Cooke, Nc
Cullnch Co. Not long afterwards bN Reason Of
Reckless stock JOOOing and general misulandge-
ment oil their business, the Cooke concern
buIsted up, with $OU,OOO United States money
In their hands. After they failed, Secretary
Koheauu took l,Od74 gold dollars out of the
Treasury ana sent them To tho London branch
OF the broken concern To help them pay some OF
tbeir debts to other people. 1t Is three years
since they failed, ana they stil owe our GOV
ernment 100000. The original debt they owed
the Government when they hursted was 500
coo. SO that only S20J0O OF TINS money S
yet been recovered. RObeson violated the
plain letter Of the law wlrn he turned over the
naval funds to Jay Cooke 4 Co. without the m
sent of the Senate, and he acted illegally wh u
he deposited a million with them after they mad
failed. The fucts are admitted, and cannot be
excused or justified. Whv the President re-
tains thls man IN the Cabinet Is "a mystery.

Two or three years ago, at u Liberal
State Convention held Ia Albany, a resolution
was pending, the precise purport OF which we
do not recollect, except that it was based on
tho assumption TINT the Liberal party in this
State could cast a large vote at the polls. Dur
ing the debate Gen. CHARLES HUGHES Of Wash
ingtou county, an old Darnourner, who had al
ways been an active Republican and mad rem
dered good service In the war, said 1--WE are a
convention OF brieadiers, and have very few
troops behind US; and YOU know this Is So"
Gen. HUGHEs spoke the truth. There Is a
large Independent vote in this State but 1t
does not follow the lead OF the Liberal State
Committee, so called. At least two-thrds Of
the former Republicans in New YORK who voted
for DR.. GREELEY four years ago, will now vo to
for SAN IILDES. They won't follow tue ONCE
hunting brigadiers.

Mr.. DAWES made his speech at the close
OF 1870. The appropriation bills passed at
that session were for the fiscal year 1s7l-72,
which are returned by the Treasury in ex-
penditures at 1858, POI ,s5G.19. The next
year, 1873, they jumped twenty-seven mil
lions; in 1874 they jumped forty-one mill
lions, and in 1873 they jumped eighteen
millions above the so-called reform of
1s71-72. And the man who affected to dep
recate the extravaganza and TO condemn
the system was foremost In voting against
his own sentiments and for all the Ring
jobs.
In the face of this enormous increase of
expenditures, the present House OF Repre-
sentatives have striven to carry out literal
ly the very policy Of reduction which this
cauting Senator urged in 1870. They found
the President aud the Senate hostile to
every measure Of reform, and they be-
lieved that the pledges of economy were
to be redeemed by them alone. They nc
cepted the declarations Of john SHERMAN
tn be true, and adopted his advice to the
House in 1863 when he proclaimed " this
House alone has the constitutional power
to perfect q rad zeal reform. 1t is in vain
to look to executive officers for reform.
The Senate is neither by the theory Of our
system nor by its composition fitted for the
task"
These two Senators have been conspicu-
Gus In resisting the reforms which they
once protested to support, and in denying
to the peoples representatives the rights
which they clamorously asserted when an
other purpose was to DO served.

REGISTRATION CORRESPONDENCE.

We give up large portion Of our space
this morning 10 the replies of Governor
Kellogg and Hon. NJ. Hahn to Major
Burke's demand Oh the part Of a Demo-
cratic committee that clerks appointed
by their party should be permitted
to have q finger in the registration
pie. . 1t seems that Democratic clerks in
more than forty parishes and supervisors
in several appointed by the State and
supervisors nearly everywhere appointed
by the clerk of the Uaited States Circuit
Court do not suffice. They want some
thing like the tactics of 1872 in this city,
when not single Republican was al
lowed around any poll in this parish.
It will be seen that the State Registrar
decides most Of the things asked for by
Mr.. Burke to be contrary to Law, which is
not at all surprising, since Democratic
anxiety to succeed, on any terms. like
war, silences the law, OF, at least, makes
those who are scheming and toiling to
overthrow the will Of the people, forget
all about it at the very time when they
should not. II will do them q little
good for day or two, We hope, to read
Governor Hahn's exposition of the law.
It may, moreover, keep them quiet till
they think Of something else, and break
out in new place.
