There appears to be no present prospect
of the senate coming to its senses; indeed
the present outlook forebodes a serious
wrangle over the confirmation of the
nominations. President Garfield has posi-
lively asserted that he will not withdraw
Rohertson's name, or consent to any COM
promise, and although he is not DESTROYS
Of precipilatng fight, yet he thinks that
the sooner the question, as to whether the
executive or legislative power of the gov.
eminent controls the nomination of Off
Gals is settled. the better for all It is II
question he is anxious ~ have decided at
the very beginning Of his administration.
so us to end all future trouble. He IS also
fully determined to recognize all elements
of the republican party, and will not
swerve from that policy under any circum
stances. On the other hand, Conkling
proposes to fight it out on the same line,
and will make open warfare on the admin.
istration. relying upon the senate to sustain
him. 1t is evident from this that there

ever the outcome. so long rs the president
remains firm. he cannot hut receive de-
served praise for his unhinching determin.
alton to do right, in the face of tremcn
deus opposition Garfield is showing his
pluckiness and grit; he has taken the bull
fairly by the horns, hut even if thrown in
the unequal contest, he will have full credit
for his nerve and bravery.
A Washington special, dated the 10th
inst, speaking Of the situation, says: A
warm friend of Mr.. Conkling said yester
day that f:cm the best information he was
able to obtain, only two democratic SEMI
tors, Ransom and Groome, has thus far
committed themselves to vote against
Rohertson's confirmation. MIR. Conkling
certainly cannot make more bitter fight
against Judge Robertson than he did
against Gen Merritt, and then he was
beaten by nine votes, and there are many
reasons to believe that Mr.. Conkling can.
not muster as many votes now against Il
strong nomination made ty President
Garfield rs he did two years age against II
nomination perhaps equally strong made

Benjamin. Disraeli, Lord Beaconsfield,
died in London on Tuesday morning,
aged seventy-ive years. The career of
this brilliant statesman is almost without
u parallel in English history. His genius,
energy, and indumnitahle perseverance,,
were instrumental in raising him from
comparative o!'scurity, and rlacing him in
the highest office in the gift of the Eng
lish people The deceased stateman and
novelist was essentially self-made man
the high hoEors won. and great distinction
attained, were the results of his own efforts
combined with natural gifts of the high
est order. He entered parliament at the age
of thirty two. and continued, with but few
intervals. to take q prominent part in poll
tics, gradually rising to the leadership of
the Conservative party, having twice, dur
ing his wonderful career, served as Eng
lands prime minister. Disraeli was of
Jewish origin. hut ut an early age en-
braccd the christian faith, and during his
early life gave evidence of his wonderful
natural gifts having at the age of nineteen
published his famous novel Vivian Grey.
His death which was not unexpected. was
calm and peaceful, lie being perfectly con
scious to the last.
