When Senator Woodin returned homo
after the close of the session his fellow
citizens of Auburn gave him large COM
plimentary reception az Q mode of express
ing their continued confidence in his
character after the charges made against him
last winter. Those charges had been inves-
tigated by committee of the Senate, and
the result was q full md honorable excul-
patton. In Mr.. Woodins speech to his
constituents he could not omit the
subject which gave occasion to the
reception. He assailed John Kelly
as the author Of unfounded charges
published for the purpose of destroying MIR.
Woodin's character Us o means Of defeating
the bills relating to this city which Mr..
Woodin championed. Mr.. Kelly admits the
fact of publication, but denies the imputed
motive. Having learned from Attorney Gen.
eral Fairchild and from Tweed's counsel the
contents of his confession he gave the story
to a newspaper for publication, not, as he
declares, with any purpose to injure Mr..
Woodin, but because he thought the facts of
such nature that the public was entitled
to, know them. But in point of fact, the
story published by Mr.. Kelly did charge Mr..
Woodin with having received bride from
Tweed and was the sole cause of the
investigation by which the Senator was
acquitted. 1t is not surprising that when
Mr.. Woodin returned to his home and his
neighbors assembled to welcome him and
testify their confidence he alluded to the
author Of the charge in pretty severe Ian
guage. Mr.. Kelly retorts in a long letter
which cannot be regarded as model Of
courtesy, and in which he does not make
very clear his right to publish libellous
statements which had been communicated
to him in presumed confidence. The unani-
nous acquittal Of Mr.. Woodin by his
fellow Senators will have more weight
with the public than the retaliatory
abuse of Mr.. Kelly. John Kelly did
his worst against Senator Woodin when
he published the story that he had accepted
bride from Tweed, and that story having
been disproved it makes little difference
what else The same accuser may publish
against the same gentleman. Mr.. Kelly dis
cusses at great length the legislation relat-
ing to this city, and mixes with his denun-
citation q great deal Of truth respecting mis-
chievous Albany interference with our local
affairs

Brunswick. Upper Canada, the lake region and
Northern Minnesota, all the districts east of the

fall elections, and IS soon as tho party II
brought face to face with the democrats in
impending elections the desire Of victory
will have a powerful effect in harmonizing
differences. No republican leader, not even
Mr.. Blaine, will care to take the RESPONSE
bility Of disorganizing the republican army
on the eve Of battle, when it stands fronting
the enemy. The fall elections this
year are really of great importance.
The democratic party looks to them
to rebuke, and the republican party
to indorse, what was done in Washing
ton last February. 1t is the first opportu-
nifty the people will have for rendering their
verdict, and the hopes OF parties will be
greatly influenced by the fall elections.
Power as well as prestige is staked on the
result. for several of the Legislatures chosen
this year will elect United States Senators
and decide whether the republican party
shall keep or lose its control of the Upper
House Of Congress- Mr.. Conkling perceives
in advance what his whole party will see
when the elections approach, and wisely de-
clines to take any part in quarrel which
will settle itself by sense Of party interest.

The Closing Races mt jerome Park.
Although the spring meeting at Jerome
Park has been twice interrupted by rain
its success has equalled that Of the meetings
of former years, and the events have been
important and brilliant. Every year in
creases the stability of this famous course,
and its metropolitan position and en-
O worldwide reputation. Jerome Park
is to America what Ascot Heath is to Eng
land-the home and centre Of fashionable
racing. Last week, on Gold Cup day, the
best classes of London society attended the
great race of which Petrarch was the winner,
and to-day New York will contribute her
beauty and fashion to make the closing Of the
Jerome Park spring meeting magnificent
event. The weather will be probably pleas
ant, with no shadows except those from feecy
summer clouds, no thunders except those of
applause from the grand stand. There are
six races announced, all of which are inter-
esting, while two are particularly important.
The contest between Cloverbrook and BAIL,
for q purse Of ten thousand dollars has
been eagerly looked for, and the rep
utations of both the horses justify the
expectation that the running will be
unusually fine. The grand steeplechase,
which will close the days sport, will be, of
course, exciting, and when the spring meet
ing ends all lovers of the turf, we trust, will
have ample reason for rejoicing in its sue
cess and for anticipating with confidence
the races that are to follow In few

THE ADMINISTRATION finds it hard work to
beat into the heads Of its appontees the fact
that they are paid to serve the government and
not the party. Postmaster General Key has just
found it necessary to communicate this informa-
tion to of his special agents-that it is his duty
TO look out for those who are robbing the mails
and nothing else. This is practical civil service
reform, and if the administration will follow it
,ut the party will take care of itself

THE TRAMPs have taken possession Of the nu-
merous parks and squares in the city and almost
driven respectable citizens out OF them alto
gethcr. 1t is really difficult to say how the
nuisance can be prevented, but certainly the
most effectual way is that taken by the park
authorities on Saturday night-namely, the
arrest of all found there at unreasonable hours
and their transfer to Blackwell's Island.

Desert PaPer.

The machinery for nanufactur-

north of Los Angeles, has proved
Il complele success. We have a
sample Of the pulp before US,
which looks like excellent paper
stock. A quantity OF newspaper
Was made from it, shipped east,

edition of the Philadelphia Led
ger. The works are located on the
southern edge of the MOhave des
ert and are bow in charge Of MIR.

OF as cactus paper, but this Is a

which it is made are varieties of
the so called palmetto cactus,
Spanish dagger, &c :, which in
fact are rot cacti at all, but belong
to the "Yuccas." They grow in
g eat abundance on the Mohave
desert, but also in equal or greater
quantity on the deserts nearer to
Arizona. The success Of the en-

tive dishonesty or army men and
Indian agents. The editor of the
SENTINEL has had some expe-
rience in filling contracts and in
other dealings with both classes,
can speak by the card, and con
cludes that the average of honesty
does not differ much in either
class. Our readers may think We
got some of the pork )" but if we
did we paiG for it, 40 man can
prove that we did, and thew can
think what they like. In both
branches of public service the
temptations TO fraud are great
and, while we have known men
in both whose recOid ds are stainless
we know many who have yielded.
Military men have been in Arizo-
na in greater number, therefore
we know more rOgues among
them but the percentage OF ras-
calls among them does not much
exceed that among Indian agents.
A current of public opinion has
been directed against the latter,
apparently by military influences,
which arouSes an Indignant desire
10 see fair play. This thing is
getting Que sided. In 1871 and '72
indians were fed by the army
and we saw more stealing done
then than when, after August,
1872. they We're fed by the Indian
Department !; and We were in po-
sitiOn t0 see the inside" under
both administrations. The change
was nom.n9liy made July /, 1872,
ou5 me army mated 10 lose 80 good

alter mat worried Indian agents
so that the poor devils got no
chance to turn penny for long
time. In 1873 and IA the military
shipped enormous quantities of
mule shoes, WaoOn material, &C.,
through Ehrenberg to Prescott.
(Fort Whipple) while citizens ship
ped next 10 nothing !; such mate
rial was cheaper at Prescott than
at Gutenberg. in spite of nearly
200 miles of wagon transportation.
In plain words, officers or employ
ees OF the army stole this material
from the q S and sold it to citi-
zens at rates which the Prescott
merchants could not compete
with. We know what we are
talking about. If we undertook
to relate all the military thieving
that has come under our personal
observation, in feeding Indians,
contracts for hay, grain, wood,
pack trains, &c, we could fill a
book bigger than the report of
Congressional investigating COM
lnittee. We have been All unwil-
ling accessory after the fact"
because, while army men pursue
frivolous charges against each
other with malignant pertinac-
ity which no civilian can ever
understand, no sooner does an
outsider charge one with fraud or
peculatIOn, than the whole army
rallies to his support, from the
oldest general to the Youngest
drummer; and because our own
affairs occupy enough of our time
without trying to keep other
mems consclences. Our experience
is not Isolated. No man has lived
in Arizona for the past ten years
who cannot corroberate it by his
own. While the Territory was so

no man was safe at any distance
