WASHINGTON, December Is.
CoNRLING AND GORDON.

CONKLING AND GORDON.
The friends OF both Senator Conklng and Sen
ator Gordon are highly gratitcd at the amicable
settlement of what otherwis. might have been a
serious difference between them. Highly sensa-
tonal lumors ON the subject were floating around
all day yesterday. 1t can be stated, however,
that no matter what other outcome there might
have been OF the affair, there was at no time any
probability of a hostile meeting between the two.
Tue INITIATIVE IN such a contingency must come
from General Gordon, and it Is asserted by his
friends that no such contingency was contemplate
ed in any event.
1hls however, it is proper to say is not believed
BY a great many, who insist that, had not ar
rangement been made, General Gordon would
have been compelled, in order to maintain his
standing with his own friends, to send challenge.
Had ii not been Tor the peculiar relations existing
between the Two senators, 1t is not probable that
either would have taken any notice OF what was
SAID by the other.
Their relations, which were never more than
those ot formal courtesy, have been much more
constrained since the antsgonisn which has been
developed between them with respect TO the Pres
idents nominations, as both have been the leaders
on their respective sides. This it was that made
each Jealous of any re or apparent intringe
oil his right that might be offered by the other.
Now that the affair is settled, both of them prefer
to allow II to remain closed and decline TO make
any comment on what has taken place.
The TEXAS BORDER TROUBLES.
The news from Texas OF an enieHte between the
citizens of that State and the MeXIcans, is not re-
garded in'mllitary circles 5 of consequence. The
belief is becoming very general here that all these
disturbances are iomented and their importance
exaggerated, for the purpose OF assisting the gov
eminent, prompted by certain prominent influence
Is in this country, to bring on war with Mexico.

protocol of friendship made yesterday between
Blaine and Conkllng, was fully carried ont to-day

Sentence of Lucy Ann Mink.

10 the Supreme Court at East Cambridge, Sat
urday morning, Lucy ANA NJ INK, was brought in

commit suicide and that Kicker was shot VIII lie
trying to prevent her. The prisoner was deeply
yelled. Attorney General Train, after simI ly
stating the fact OF her indictment and conviction
an Lowell last May, moved for sentence upon the
indictment. Counsel for prisoner asked that a
mild sentence be imposed. considering the circum-
stances.
Miss Mink, being called upon, said she had
nothing TO say, as she had told her story She
spoke with atremulous voice.
Judge Ames IN passing sentence said that fol-

should sentence for maDslaug inter-. Though there
might be cases where there might be sympathy

for any In this he then proceeded to sentence

The value Of the frequency OF elections
as an educational influence has never
been better illustrated than 10 our munich
pal elections of this and last year. The
triumph of Tuesday last is not alone in the
personal choice. Nor Is it claimed that a
recognized corrupt or extravagant admin
istration has been overthown. OF great
Significance, however. is it that the whole
voting population of the city of Boston,
in which the scheme of a government OF
the people is put to severer test than any
where else in the Commonwealth has been
30 thoroughly stirred that nine-tenihs OF
the voters cast their ballots, in manner.
too, SO orderly as to inspire new faith in
republican institutions; and that their dis
elimination. their good sense, their pre-
science of danger, their more than Alhen-
ian acuteness have discovered the signs
of the times, and chosen the better
part. Such an election, with its train
ing. its activity of young men, its bring
ing OF the citizen into contact with
the machinery of our political institutions,
is worth everything to our community
and, on whatever side men voted, they
are better for the education OF such
an ordeal. The whole political level is
more than one degree higher for the dis
cipline Of these frequent elections Dos
