~CoNkLING.. VICTORY.

The great battle has been fought;
Senator Conkling Is the victor. anu
President Hayes Is temporarily defeated.
He has attempted honestly to put into
practice the principles Of civil service
reform which be so clearly snunciated.
both In his letter accepting the nomin'
alton and In his inaugural address. In
pursuance Of this policy he nominated
successor. TO Collector Arthur and Naval
officer Cornell Of the port OF New York.
Considering that he was President OF
these United States. with an absolute
control over all nominations, he neg
lseted to consult Mr.. Roscoe Conklina
before sending the names to the Senate.
Fatal omission The Great Disap-
pointed. whom his party rejected as n
Presidential candidate last year. deter

ON his successful rival. He mustered
around him all the ~sore-hsadsd Rspub

Presidents nominees. II 10 truly u
glorious victory for conkling ! a victory
which forsshadoxs a terrible defeat Tor

some means the breach which this dis
appointed politician has made in its
ranks can bs closed.
The Tsnursot.ofice Act, which Conk-
ling hss used SO effectively to defeat the
civil service reform contemplated by Mr..
HAYES. WAS passed under peculiar cir.
cumstancss. and for . specific purpose.
Its object was simply to prevent Andrew
johnson from concentrating his scheme
to bs,ray his party and sell his country
h the traitors who had but just laid
down their arms. IL was never intended

aid conscientious President like Mr..
Hayes, In the discharge OF . constitu-
tional duty. II was never intended to
furnish q means by which the entire
patronage OF tn. nation was to be trans

States senators. And yet this Is the
uss to which IL has been put by Senator
Conkiing. lie evidently has Il in his
power To prevent the confirmation Of any
nominations upon which be has not been
consulted in advance by Mr. Hayes.
Under the circumstances the sooner the
law is repealed the better 1t will be Tor

a mere isurs-head. and divides the e1'

n WONDERFUL HOG.
One Hundred and Thirty -Nfns Day =
without Food or Water.

without Food or water.
Warrensburg Journal Democrat ::
From Mr.. John NJ. Ewing, who lives
near Mt. Hebron church, near the CEN
tire of Lafayette county, We obtained
the following particulars of the most
wonderful preservation of animal life,
without food or water, thst we have
heard OF. Mr.. Ewing, for whose repu-
tation and veracity we vouch in I'M
qualified terms, narrated the facts as
follows.
n gentleman by the name of Samuel
Smith, who lives about two and one
half miles from Mr.. Ewing, had hog
which disappeared very mysteriously
about the last OF November, 1876. Mr..
Smith made .diligent search for his
hog, but could find 70 trace of 1t, and
inasmuch as the hog was confined to a
close pen, and no place OF egress could
be found, he naturally came to the
conclusion that his hog had been
stolen. In the same lot in which the
hog was kept was very large straw
rick, which, at the time the hog disap-
peared, had been but recently stacked.
This occurred about the last of last
November, and Mr.. Smith had long
since ceased TO inquire for his hog.
Now comes the strange part Of the mar.
rative. One day last week member
| of Mr.. Smiths family, happening to
Walk close TO the straw stack, was as
tonished To see this very same hog
drag himself out from under the straw.
When the hog disappeared last fall il
would have weighed fully 400 pounds
| or more. When II put in its appear
ance last week it was mere skeleton,
barely able to drag itself along. The
muscles of its legs were badly drawn,
and but for its color could scarcely have
been recognized as the same hog. II
had crept under the straw rick. and
the supposition is that it either
became bewildered or got fastened in
some way, aud remained under the
| stack four months and nineteen days
| without food or water. The truth o.
| this statement is avouched by the very
best authority, and it is certainly thu
most wonderful case on record.
