LEGATION of conversations held sacred among
men by every rule of personal honor and
professional obligation. It does not leave
unchanged the public knowledge of the fact,
however obtained, that Senator Conkling, as
man in politics and out ofipolitics, has an ut
ter and unstudied contempt for the origin, the
acts, and the achievements of an admins
tration with which he keeps no relations and
has no respect. This statement from Conk-
ling shows that there is good foundation
for all the talk and personal charges made,
and that their disclosure comes from an out
rageous betrayal Of private conversation and
social hospitality. That everything in it has
been said over and over again by Conkling,
in private conversation, no one doubts, but
the personalities and the scathing reflections
upon the personnel and character of the ad ].
ministration Senators makes much more of a
sensation than any talk against the adminis-
tration proper.

A Retrospect.

It is only necessary for the
memory to 60 back to the days
of reconstruction, to fix the time
of the commencement of the
trials and ignominies heaped
upon the native Louisiana citi-
zen. How they suffered and en-
dured, is known to the world
How they struggled, day after
day, and year after year, is
known only to themselves
Sometimes, when they imagined
they saw light ahead, the folds
of the Radical Anaconda only
gathered more tightly around
them; and when at last they
Embossed his coils, and stood
erect in their manhood, they
have shown no disposition to
visit retributive justice on their
oppressors, and have only asked
a fair field and equal rights, I'M
der a CONSTITUTION and LAWS
of their own framing. They
have been compelled, for many
years, to live under harsh laws,
harshly administered made
and administered by their enc
mies-and they have looked
with longing eyes to the servants
selected by them to right their
wrongs, at least to some extent;
and for relief. But if the NUT
terings of discomfort, that are
to be heard from every quarter,
amount to anything, it looks as
though our people have been
sadly disappointed in their
hopes and expectations. But
we bid them cheer up. Rome
was not built in a day; and if
the leaders of our Democratic
army are not conducting the
campaign against our old ene-
my, as the rank and file think
they should, we have only to do
as the Yanks did when they had
our little rebellion on hand
change the Generals until zee get one
to salt as.

H It is very proper that
when a public servant displays
ability, and a watchful care of
the interests of his constituency,
that he should receive from them
some token of their apprecia-
ton of his services in their be-
half. We have frequently
thought of saying something, by
way of endorsement, of our
member of Congress from this
District-the Hon. j. B. Elan
but have failed to do so. At
home he is we'll known for his
ability, and stern integrity, but
it is only since his entrance into
Congress that he has attracted
the attention of the country at
large-is beginning to be known
abroad for his ability as well as
he has been at home.
Mr.. Hale, of Maine, has a ma
tional reputation as a debater;
who, in advocating even a bad
measure, shows consumate tact
and ability, and it is a source of
pride to US that Judge Elan so
efectually demolished him in a
discussion in the House, a short
time since, when he arose to a
personal explanation in relation
to what had been said by Hon.
Randall L. Gibson about the
prosecution of Wells and Ander.
son. Judge Elan demonstrated
to the Maine man, and the coun-
try at large, that on Constitu-
tional questions, and in a knowl-

with a few sessions more expe-
rience In the Halls of Congress,
