THE MICHIGAN CENTRAL RAILROAD
The semi-annua report OF the Michigan Central Rail-
road for the half year ending November So 1875 is OF
unusual interest at this time In view of the recent ex
traordnary statement issued by the Lake Shore Com
pany for the six months ending December 81, 1875.
The two reports the period OF time, except
that Michigan Central includes the month of June and

The Presidents EduOrite ia His
Otrn State.

The New York Times ID the leading
Republican newspaper in that great city
and by many is considered the leading
organ of its party In the country. It's
estimate of the appointment of Don
Cameron to the War Secretaryship, and
the object the President had in making
the appointment, as also its opinion of
the strength of the Presidents favorite
candidate for the Presidency, (Mr. ConK-
ling,) may be inferred from the fact that
it says "Mr. Conkling is essentially a
weak man in his own State" and follows
this up by statements to prove he is also
weak in other States. 1t says;
What is true Of New York is true in
a still more striking degree Of other
States. Mr.. Conkling has himself to
thank for it, but it Is true that he is
known throughout the Union far more
as managing politician than as a bril-
liant Senator. He has been so promi-
nently the tavorite of the administration,
and he has enjoyed 30 much OF its patron
age, and used it so lavishly, that the
general public are accustomed in a way
not always just to attribute to his pub
lie acts and utterances q sinister mo-
tive.
For this reason the impression that the
recent Cabinet changes were simply
devised to enable Mr.. Conkling to pur-
chase the Cameron influence at Cincin-
natl, will hurt the Senator more than it
will help him. The fact that it commits
the administration to his interest, in the
public estimation, might have won him
some votes six months ago. 1t will cost
him quite as many now. 1t was the ad =
ministration influence which defeated
Mr.. Conkling's plans at Syracuse. The
convention would not instEpcv the dele
gates to support him because he was
openly identified with the administra-
tion. That ASSOCIATION on his part was
the avowed basis of Mr.. Curtis oppo.
sition, and it was strong one. Those
who recognized it believed that Mr.
Conkling could not carry the State Of
New York, and they SO far convinced the
convention that they were correct in this
judgment that its support of Mr.. Conk-
ling was hard more than complimentary
In some way, this further evidence Of
the connection of Mr.. COnkling with the
most unpopular elements il the admin
