Mr.. Conkling's Friends on Gov. Morgan

Some OF Mr.. CoNKLING's devoted friends
think that the election of Mr.. MORGAN
would throw n cloud over the future pros
poets OF our distinguished Senator. They
say that Gov. MORGAN is an older soldier
than CoNKLINo, and that II HAYES should
be elected and MORGAN be in the Govern
ors chair for three years to come, he
would have more influence than Mr.. CoNK-
LING in the important matter of the distri-
button OF Federal patronage in this State.
This class of Mr. COMBINES friends
assert that IL HAYES is elected and Nor
GAN is Governor, the latter will be able to
control the Cabinet selection for this State
certainly, and very likely for the New
England States II a member should be
taken from that quarter. These gentle
men feel sure that with Mr.. MORGAN mt tho
State capital, Mr.. CoSKLING would not be
in the Cabinet; and that, moreover, NOR
GAN would work with his accustomed
vigor to either get COMBINES place in the
Senate for himself or to bestow il upon
some friend of his. II will be borne in
mind that CoNKLISG's successor Will be
chosen in January, 1879, and one year before
the term of the Governor now to be elected
snHil expire. vi course, III tHt hcEslutuIo
should be Republican, Mr. MORGAN, II he
were Governor, could exert powerful
influence In determining its choice; and
however 1t may be with the ill-informed
members OF the party, all who know the
inside history OF New York politics for a
year past need no assurance that EDWIN
d. MoRGAN's favorite for Senator in Con-
gress would not be Roscoe CoNKLINa.
Mr.. CoNKLINGs confidential friends be-
lieve that Gov. MORGAN would not second
CoSKLING's aspirations for the Presidential
nomination four years hence. They assert
that ut heart he has all along been a sup
porter, in his usual reticent style, of JAMES
G. BLAINE. and that, next to himself, he Is
for BLAINE III 1880. These gentlemen
speak very positively on this point
Our sources Of information on the sub
jects above mentioned are Of the most
trustworthy character; and there is GER
tainly great force in the suggestions OF
this influential class Of Mr.. CoNKLING's
friends.

covery, therefore, Of the Lukuga, the Tan
ganyika origin Of the Nile was effectually
refuted.
There remained sPEKE's theory, VIII ich
placed the source Of the Nile in the Vic
toria basin, whose connection with the
Albert Nyauza by means OF the Somerset
river had been completely demonstrated.
so far, however, the White Nile had not
been followed directly to the latter lake,
and accordingly during the past year
geographers have concurred in Affirming
the imperative necessity of that achieve
ment, forecasting in 1t the key of tho
whole problem. II is precisely this which
has just been accomplished by an expedi-
ton under the command Of Signor GEssI,
one of Gen. GoRDoN's stan of engineers.
Provided with two iron lfeboats and u
small steamer, with complement of
twenty men, GEssI made his way slowly up
the stream, and after many Interruptions
and some detours rendered necessary by
catnracts, succeeded in tracking the White
Nile to its point OF exit from the second of
its great reservoirs, the Albert Nyanza.
The lake, moreover, as we learn from tho
telegram forwarded to Sir Henry RAW
mansions ascertained to be one hundred
and forty miles in length by fifty wide.
On the eastern shore GEssI came upon the
mouth of the so-called Somerset, and
describes the volume OF water supplied to
the Albert basin from that feeder MS very
| great.
There is thus no longer room to doubt
that the parent-rver of Egypt finds in tho
Victoria Nyanza u preliminary cistern of
vast proportions, whence, under q geo.
graphical alias which is likely to be short
| lived-the name of Somerset-it flows into
q second huge basin. the Albert Nyanza,
from which II finally issues as Bahr-el
Djebel, or the White Nile. 1t is likewise
certain that by far the largest share in the
honor Of this great discovery belongs to
man now dead, and whose claims during
his lifetime received but scanty recogni-
ton. Time, however, has done him justice,
and henceforth, while we appreciate the
scope and value Of supplementary achieve
ments, we must give JOHN HANNING SPEKE
the credit OF solving the Nile mystery.

chief outlet for British cottons, against the
rapid and astounding growth of the ns-
tive Indian industry.
The next greatest producer OF cotton
after the United States Is India. 1t 10 i'm
possible to form any correct opinion con-
corning the total Indian cotton crop. Enor-
nous quantities are manufactured and
consumed in the interior of which we have
no accurate statistics. Our chief concern is
with the Indian cotton which finds its way
to the English markets, and there COM
petes with the American article. The to-
tai shipments OF India cotton from Bonn
bay for the year ending Aug. 81, 1875
reached |, 2s7 900 bales, the bale averaging
about $50 pounds; while the American
bale, for the years 1s74-75, averaged about
400 pounds. The Indian cottons do not
compare with American cottons, either in
point Of quality or value. Our cottons,
roughly estimated. bring from one-third
to one-half more than Indian cottons in
the British markets. 1t Is confidently stat
ed that the supply from India will be 300,-
900 bales short this year. Mddling cotton
Is now worth about 12t oents in this mar
ket. The price of all other grudes is based
on the price of middlings. We may thus
value the crop of 1867, $50 900 bales-at

Is the mean act OF mean and malignant man.
He has simply used his power to punish lot Of
officers who were, OF who, he imagined, had
been, honest enough TO disprove of his corrupt
practices. Those officers who testified before
the House committee OF investigation in any
other way than 30 as to approve OF his thievery,
are punished by being put on furiough and hsv-
ing their pay reduced to pittance. The fell
lows abou, him who helped him In his jobbery
and did not peach on him when he was hauled
up for II, all get their fsu pay. and escape the
punishment inflicted on then honester or more
outspoken brother officers.
The appropriation by Congress for tho pay "
ofncers In no wise justified the order or rem
dered It necessary. II is simply a measure OF
vengeance Of sEcoR RoBEsoSs, OF which no
one but man Of low and mean instincts could
DO capable. An act like this, committed In Eng

as soon a. the order was made public. Only in

when the CLAYTON Ring had possession
OF Arkansas, and was plunderng the taxpayers
az well as trampling upon all the civil rights OF
the citizens one OF the most prominent allies OF
the CarUet-bagRers was colored preacher OF
great influence among the negroes, named

man, who was deceived by the spurious preten-
sions Of friendship for his race which consti-
tuted the political capital OF the roRues then in
ONCE in that state, and he was und oubtedly sim
cere In his support Of the Republican leaders.
since then, however, Mr.. CHAMBERS has learned
from experience that the real aim OF politicians
OF the CLAYTON stamp was self argrandzement,
and that the negroes were used by them simply
ss tools for the accom- Pill m ent Of their selfish
ends. In a letter to the Little Rock Herald
recently published, Mr.. CHAMBERS calls upon
the colored men Of Arkansas to sustain the
present Democratic Government which has
done so much to Improve the condition Of the
State, and OF Its people, both white and black

a truer friend than Gov GARLAND, and ex-
presses the belief that II the colored man be-
comes cultured and mentally and morally ele-
waited, It is the true men OF the South who will
stand by and assist him; while the Republican
leaders would rather hear OF negroes being muir
dered aud robbed than have them enjoy the
friendship OF Southerners. There Is great
reaction of feeling going on among the most in

the political situation, and In nearly all the
