ConMing interviewed.
A TERRIBLE A~RRAIGNMENT
OF THE ADMINISTRATION.
The Louisiana Bargain Bitterly
Denounced.

In an interview yesterday. senator
Conkling said, that from The time
Hayes came into office. aud appointed
Democrats in the Cabinet, the priDci-
pal labor of Evsrts and the Test has
neen to withdraw Republican support
from Inc. He told a gentlemen some
time ago that the reform movement OF
the Administration, as tar as New
York was concerned, was to break up
the craftsmanship. Isuppose that chief
tainsilip was y declaration Of censure
upon myself. In regard To the Civil
Service order ne said. undoubtedly
that celebrated rrformatory order was
factional in its intent; made in tie in
terest of envious and ~presuming little
men of Hayes Southern policy. lie
50 VS. there is no considerable element
in the Republican party which objects
I the removal Of the ire, BPS from the
Southern Safes. / have made no OBJ
iections on that score, but all that was
required Of him wa3 to take out some
troops and nothing else. He had no
right to make q bargain or compro-
mise the Legislature Of the State in the
interests Of the Presidency. His inter
fering with the State by compromise or
bargain was as much a violation OF law
as if he had interfered with the troops
and by arms Although the north are
. substantial people. who are like
Miles Sta ndish in their devo-
ton to original intents and sy mpathies
of the Republican party, a. a free north
ern party. these people do not object
so much to the Withdrawing of physi-
cal force from tbs South, as they do To
the conspicuous contrast Of Hayes in
the Presidency by The vote Of Louis
lana, and Packard turned out.
Every nan knows hat on
the face of the returns, Packard was
more elected than Hayes. by 5000 or
1000 votes. You cannot present these
returns in any form that will not give
more legality to Packard as Governor
of Louisiana than to Hayes AS Presi-
dent. People say this man assumes
all the virtues of reform in an office
which he has gained by simple repudi-
alton of the ladder that lifted him. 1t
is the general record of u>urpers that,
though sustained, they do their favors
to the other side. The President has a
Democratic Cabinet. Devens always
ran for office in Massachusetts on the
Democratic ticket; he was never a Re-
publican. Schurz took himself out OF
the Republican party years ago. Key
is a Democrat, and l am sure nobody
counts Evarts a Republican. The
Democrats were SO certain OF the con-
trary that they had proposed to nom
mate him for the Office OF Governor OF
New York. l have no faith in = Pres
dent whose only distinct act Is ingrati-
tude to the men who voted for him,
and the party which gave him its feal-
ty in the domain and forum Of honor.
That sense OF Hayes infdelity stands
forward and challenges him. 1t Is felt
by honest men all over this country.
He smiles and showers on the OppOst-
ton proofs of q disturbed mind. In
regard to Hayes Southern trip. he
says: / think old Harry Lee ought
to have heard he speech where he
com pared the soldiers Of the Confeder-
ate aud Federal armies to Greeks. We
beat you, he said, in Nashville and in
Atlanta, because we had more Greeks.
Conkling shook his head and looked
amazement and contempt. In answer
to the question whether he apprehend-
ed that the Democratic victory would
result in excessive appropriations. he
said that it was the inevitable logic of
the ascendancy of the Democratic par
ty. Will they let this little Whiptall
in the North drill them, when they
hold the stock and butt Of the
whip in their own hands? Why.
at the close of the last Congress
they ran the river and hsrbor appro-
priation bill up to five million dollars.
General Grant put himself on record
and said, II will only sign this bill
because it is too late in the session for
it to be reconsidered. and there are
ome worthy objects in it," But he
indicated that he would not spend all
the money. and neither did he, but he
embargoed So. OOO, 900 out of the IS. 000,-
OCO. Now, l am told that 5 5000, 600
have been put out since Grant left Of
flee. What Is there in the law Of hu-
man nature to prevent these people
from pressing forward for appropria-
tons. So long ~ Hayes y IN the
