Mr.. Conkling ON the Fraud.

We copy IN another part of this paper the
essential portions of an interview with
Senator CuNKbING, which appeared in yes
serday's World.
According to his won't Mr.. CoNKLING de-
carcs himself with frankncss respecting
come Of the important public questions
Of the day; and upon HAYES and the frauds
through which HAYES was made President
his observations are a. vigorous us they are
interesting.
mo reasonable man can doubt" says the
Senator, "that there was some kind of
bargain between the friends of NICHOLAS
and that man HAYES, and that STANLEY
MATTHEWS and SHERMAN were privy to it,"
The facts OF this bargain will soon bc dis
closed we are told and 1.-THE result will he
that the whole country will be- appalled,
by the dishonor of this Administration" Il
thought" says Mr.. CONKL1NG. speaking of
the time when the electoral votes were
acted upon in Congress, "thcrc was some
thing not exactly straight about that Lou
Isiana business; but now | believe that
Then The ,rhoic truth il hnoirn rW sink this
Administration President and alto the
bpest depths Of nfuDy.'
These expressions give an idea OF the gem
eral character Of the opinions Mr.. CoNK-
LING now uttcrs. What he docs not
say is also significant. He nowhere
declares that HAYES has a good title
to the Office he occupies; and 1t is
plain that the Fraudulent President
will not be protected In the White House
through any action Of Mr.. CoNKLING. THE
secrets of this Administration, he says,
ARE certain to come to the light, and then no.
body will acknowledge allegiance to it on
one side or the other"
The monstrous doctrine which is fashion,
able in some quarters nowadays, that man
may bc installed as President through noto-
rious and undcniable fraud. and that the
people have no remedy against such de-
struction Of their right Of sef-go, crnmcnt,
does not count the Republican Senator Of
New York among its adhcrcnts.

Hunters Point The Act for the Abate-
ment OF Nuisances.

The first warm evenings Of the season
bring to the nostrils of a large part Of the
inhabitants Of New York odors less fragrant
than those Of spring flowers. They furciby
remind us of the existence of Hunters
Point, with its noisomc oil rcnelics.
1t is intolcrablc that such II nuisance as
these rcilnerics should exist year after year
without abatement. They poison the atmos-
phcrc spreading over this city discomfort,
disease, and death. Let II man shoot one
person down and he is executed for II; but
the owners Of these oil works are permitted
to STAY, by vitiated atmosphere, scores and
hundreds of children, annually, with Inn
punity, This thing has been going on long
enough, and it is time it should be- stopped.
There is now II bill before the Legislature,
which was first introduced by Mr.. PEABODY,
in 1876, comforting upon the Board of Health

BY bare majority the HoLAHAN Excise
bill WAS defeated Yesterday in tho Assembly.
The debate was long and exciting. The bill was
intended rs substitute for the law of 1857. which
limits the granting Of licenses TO keepers Of
hotels. inns or tnverns. Mr.. HoLAHAN's propo-
siton was to permit the granting of licenses to
other persons. and this making Of licenses
practically unrestricted was what aroused the
temperance folks. Mr.. BROWNING thought that
public sentiment demanded such bill. Mr.
GRADY said that the proposed plan was prac-
ticaly that by which licenses were granted from
1857 until 1877. when the Court of Appeals con-
strued the law Of 1857 to restrict such granting
to hotels. Notwithstanding the law. however.
eight thousand persons were selling In New
York city without license. The arguments
advanced by both sides were in the min.
repctitons Of those that preceded the defeat Of
the DAILY bill few weeks ago.

How to Wash Woods and Laces.

To wash the Saxony and Shetland
woods, use no soap, no soda, no washing
powders. 1t is more than difficult to
make some laundresses believe that
anything can be washed without soda,
still more so without soap; but soap runs
wool crewels. Have gallon of boiling
water poured over pound of bran, and
in the same proportion for larger quanti-
ties. This should be done late in the
evening, and left to soak until the next
morning, stirring occasionally. Then
drain off the water and in it wash your
woodwork, or crewel work, using it like
warm. Do not wiring it, but squeeze
gently to get out the water. Crewel
work should be hung up to dry in the
house in a hot temperature, and ironed
very carefully before it is quite dry.
Knitting or crochet work should be pin
ned out on board covered with flannel
or linen to the shape, and left to dry
very gradually. This should be attend
ed to every time the things are washed.
Macrame lace, guipure Dart and other
laces should be cleaned in dry starch,
not washed. Take Il plateful of starch,
roll till smooth, put in clean linen
cloth. In the starch now place your
guipure work, and rub it with the starch
until clean, and it is finished, looking as
if it had just left the frame. Lace bibs,
cuffs, and all lace, may be treated in the
same manner, rubbing carefully.

a Four Year Old Colored Preacher
Louisville Courier-Journu.


There is now in Louisville negress
who is a perfect child wonder. She is a
Scriptural marvel. She does not even
know her letters, yet she can quote &C
curatel y most any passage in the Bible.
At the age of nine months she could
talk; and would frequently tell her
mother what her idea of heaven was
As she grew older she would sit for hours
and expatiate on the beauties and glories
of the other world. The old colored
folks would listen to her sayings for
hours.
At the age of three years she began to
lecture on heaven, its wonders, or God
and His omnipotent power. She has
lectured in many places, and has created
a furore in every place she has appeared.
The prodigy lectured at the York Street
Colored Church recently in the after
noon, and at night spoke to large
crowd at the Green Street Colored
Church. Her speech was good, and her
delivery impressive.
A reporter of the C0urier-JournaJ in
terrogated her.
"What is your ma me, little girl?"
"Alice Cotany."
