The Bouquet Story.

PHILADELPHIA, August 13.-A lady
from Washington tells a story here
about Mr.. Conkling's treatment of the
Sprague case in days gone by. 1t is
related that Mrs, Conkling had come
down one winter to live at the capital.
and had made all her preparations to
do so, when one afternoon some rare
flowers with a billet doux that accom-.
panied them fell into her hands. Some
stupid florist. being moral man like
Thackeray's Werter, sent them to Mrs
Conkling instead of Mrs. Sprague, on
the theory that if they were not in
tended for the first named, they ought
to have been. Mrs. Conkling, it is
needless to add, gracefully and gra-
ciously, as the senator would say. re-
tired from the city to her New York
home, and left the gentleman to attend
to his affairs without being inconveu.
fenced by the presence of wifo, Mr..
COnkling's daughter was married a few
months ago TO somebody not in public
life. When an injudicious friend COM
mented, in the presence of Mrs. Conk-
ling, the comparative obscurity Of The
bridegroom, Mrs. Cankllng raised her
eyebrows, saying, with bitter ring in
her softly modulated voice, "One pub.
li lie man is enough in my family
Those who heard the remark knew
that the passage Of the bouquet was
still ranking in her memory.

GOVERNOR ROBINSON, of New York,
in replying to Ex-Governor Seymour's 5
application for the pardon of a young
man convicted of forgery, states that
he has fifteen such cases before him.
"All the conyicts moved in respecta-
BILE society; all have families and
friends who are suffering on their ac-
count, and all profess to be thoroughly
penitent for what they have done. '
The governor has determined to treat
all alike, refusing pardons. He rightly
regards the crime of forgery as one
which, in the nature of things, can
present few extenuating circumstan-
ces. 1t is, in his view, "a crime which
cannot well be committed except by
persons OF considerable education. Il
is, moreover, always committed with
deliberate intent. 1t is not the result
Of accident, or a sudden impulse Of
passion. A man who sits down ia
initiate with his pen the signature Of
another, for the purpose of defraud.
ing an innocent person from whom he
expects to obtain money on the forged
signature does so with skill and COO
calculation" 1t is also a noteworthy
fact that the forger seldom stops al
one offense. He repeats it again and
again, until he is caught. 1t would
be much more reasonable to pardon
all men convicted Of assault and bat.
terry than to release even a few of the
forgers for some, at least, of the for.
mer doubtless have the excuse of 9
bad training, or of having committed
the otfense from a sudden impulse o.
passion. One of the fifteen forger.
mentioned by Governor Robinson
having heard that his friends had
petltloned the governor for a pardon
wrote to the latter opposing the ex.
tension of mercy, on the ground that
personal, domestic and social inter
ests oughttob be sacrificed to the higher
interests of the State" and Governor
Robinson has wisely sacrificed them.

Amongst other persons in Saratoga
has been State Senator Goodwin, Of
Utica, who studied law in Roscoe
Conkling's Office, and is particular
friend of Ex-Governor Seymour.
Reference was made to celebrat-
ed interview with Conkling more than
a year ago, where he had referred ia
Goodwin as "a rebel who had left
Utica during the war to join the rebel
army"
As to that" said the gentleman,
do not see how Mr.. Conkling could
have made any such charge against
me. When a boy | moved from the
South to New Jersey, and after grad.
uating went to Utica and entered Mr..
Conklings Office; he was fond of me,

| had a mother in Savannah whom it
was my duty to look after, and | went
to Savannah with pass one winter
and returned the following spring to
Utica and resumed my law business
there"
Is Conkling a lawyer of high
rank ?"
He always had ability as an advo-
cate. The firm to which he belonged
had for enc partner a very good office

cram Conkling with it, and he would

generally said that he left Albany in

to Utica to practice law. He had
hardly got there when he ran Cor
mayor, and was elected. Governor
Seward made him district attorney in
a vacancy, and he won the first case he

Is there any truth in these domes-
tic stories2"
There is no truth whatever in the
story that Mrs. Conkling meant Ia
have any separation. She is an ex.
ceedingly quiet, modest lady, averse tC
living in Washington City, and she
prefers to stay in Utica and attend t.
her household affairs"
Mr.. Goodwin remarked in a few
minutes: Conkling cannot help be-
ing peculiar. Not long ago Governor
Seymour was coming into Utica, and
at the depot something was said about
how much | weighed. Conkling
remarked Mr.. Goodwin never know
what you weigh! lam never informed
about my weight. | never 90 to the
scales to find out. That is one of the
ways to guard against sensibility about

tinued Mr.. Goodwin, suppose that

States who is always informed to a
hair just how much he weighs it is

pEATH OF MANOR w. ". anY.

After prolonged struggle with the
yellow fever, lasting through nearly
two weeks, Major W. w. Guy, one of
our most prominent and highly re-
spected merchants and citizens, last
night succumbed to the grim
monster death and his remains
were inferred at Elmwood Gene
terry this forenoon by a number
Of sorrOwing friends. No per-
son so far carried off by the fever
malady will be more regretted than
Major Guy. He was known as a man
of clear head and more than ordinary
ability; an upright and fair dealing
merchant and a useful counsellor,
whose views never failed to be listen
ed to with attention and profit. At
the same time he was modest and
unassuming in his intercourse with
his fellow people, a person indeed who
seemed to be guided entirely with no
other feeling than that of desire to
perform his whole duty in all things,
and to do that duty we'll. Major Guy
was native of Hardeman county in
this State, and he served the people
among whom he was reared in several
public capacities, among others that
OF representative in the State legisla-
ture. He was also commissary with
the rank Of major on the side of the
South during the war between the
States. For the past twelve years
or more he has resided in this
city, being well and fayorably
known to the community as prom
inert cotton merchant and the
leading member of the grocery and
cotton house of Guy, Mcclellan & Co.
During his fatal illness Major Guy
had every possible attention that
medical skill and nursing could devise.
He was of sanguine temperament, and
was confident that he would be able
to battle successfully with his sick
ness, but the fates appear to have been
against such result, the fever hay-
ing left him several days after
the first attack so thoroughly prostra-
ted that his former vigorous frame
was too weak, though aided by pow
er.ful will, to rally from its insidious
and violent effects. Until the unfavor-
ably cool weather set in several days
ago, it was believed by those who at
tended his bedside that final recov-
cry would follow. This weather
change, however, had a bad influence,
and in spite of all chat could be done
his life gradually sunk away during
the past four days until, as previously
mentioned. his life went out az a late
hour last night. Major Guy was
attacked with the febrile disorder
while passing night with a friend at
the residence of the late Mr. John
Miller, on the Poplar boulevard, be,
yOnd the citylimits, and it was at this
mansion where he lay and suffered
through the spell which carried him
to another world. May his future
life In that unknown beyond be calm
and peaceful through all time is the
hope of ali who knew him here.
