The New York Ecenimg Post says
that the Republican party has no reason
to thank Mr.. Conkling for the result of
the elections in New York. He secured
the nomination of Mr.. Cornell, whom
the voting shows to have been weak
candidate, and then practically retired
from the canvass, leaving others to do
the work. "Mr. Conkling's game" it
says, '.seems to have been to gain the
glory in case of victory, without fearing
or sharing the responsibility in case of
defeat. Mr.. Blaine, the Administration,
and the leading Republicans of the
country, have thrown themselves earnest
ly into the New York canvass, and with
what efficiency the returns show. The
credit for victory belongs to them. not
to Senator Conkling."

Gen. Tom Brown of Indiana, is said

Among the Northern Democratic men,
bers, he says, Cox and Fernando Wood
stand foremost. and on the Republican
side after Garfield would follow Kelly,
Frye, and Tom Reed of Maine.

WOMAN'S WORK.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
CHICAGO, March 15.-Since the organization
of the above-namcd Society many questions have
been asked by ladies who have not attended the
preliminary meetings in regard to the object and
aims OF the Society; and as it is very desirable
that every lady ID the city should become inter-
ested in the work, and as tile managers feel GER
tain that all will be interested who understand
the object in view, it has been deemed advisable
to offer to the public brief outline OF the
projected work. The name of the Association,
in reality, tells the story. Whatever any woman
can do well she can find, it is hoped and be-
l1eved, ready sale for at fair price
q: the rooms Of the Exchange. What
ever any woman wishes to buy or order to be
made, it Is believed, she caa obtnin here to
her satisfaction, and at the same time feel that
she is assisting some woman who, perchance,
Stands in q position TO-DAY that she may
occupy few years hence. For Fortune Is 4
tickle goddess thAt smiles to-day and frowns
tomorrow. The Exchange will in no way iu-
terfere with the Decorative Art Association, but
will, instead, supplement- it.. In addition to the
sale5-room, oriers will be taken for unuer-@ar-
mcnts, chiidren's clothing, ETC., cake, pickles,
preserves, canned fruit. nnd, III short, anything
and everything that women can do aud for
which there is demand.
The Society has been organized as nearly as
possible on tile plan Of the New York Exchange,
which has been III operation less than year,

PHILADELPHIA, March 15.-The new Kennel
Club of this city will open q doe-show on the
2lst of next month. Preparations are being
made for the reception of 700 dogs, and prizes
and medals will be awarded valued at about
$500. It is snid that some OF the finest
dogs in the world are to be found within q
radius of 100 miles OF this city. The Chesapeake
and Delaware bays furnish splendid bunting
for water fowl and field game, while the op-
portunities for deer hunting in the mountains
aud fox chasing in several counties OF
this State have drawn mauy sportsmen into our
neighborhooa, all OF whom are taking lively
interest in the coming meeting. Among the
many letters received By the Kennel Club from
owners ofvaluable dogs is one from Arnold
Burgess, OF HtIlsdalc, Mich, who will send his
famous settlers Rob Roy, Druid, Queen Mab,
and Rufus. Everything points to Il successful
four iays' meeting.

We heard OF laughable scene yes
terday. Some time ago there was case
brought before two justices, in which
Il woman was the complainant. The trial
was held at .Gish's Mill. A young law
yer appeared for the defendant and
gained his acquittal. The woman's brother
came to some members Of the grand jury.
seeking an indictment in the case, and
made the following statement: "Gentle-
men, | want 10 be honest. II the man Is
guilty, ! want him punished, but II not, OF
course not but, sirS. il it hadn't been for
one OF these lawyer fellers be wonld be in
prison now, for the justices fuSt omitted
him to Jail; but afterwards one OF these
spoutin' fellers from Salem came, and made
aspeech, and read a lot Of law, which folks
say can't be found ia the Code, and the
squres acquitted him, provided you didn't
convict him." The jury did not convict.
