Conkling Threatened with Assassin-
alton.
Nrw YORK, Oct. "A merchant
named Jackson, doing business on
the East river front, to-day laid be-
lore the police commissioners a letter
which he interpreted as q determina-
ton on the part of u Utica man to
assassinate Conkline. The letter
expressed the opinion that Conkling
deserved death, and the writer said
he was coming to New York on the
occasion of the State convention
next Wednesday, and Conkling
should not be admitted, be the con-
sequences what they might. Com
missioner Mason perused the letter,
and. observing that it had been
written by man Of education, in
ouired if the sender was either insane
or given to drinking. Jackson had
never heard that he was either. The
commissioner suggested that he
should write reply to endeavor to
ferret out if possible the real plans
of the Utica man, but this Jackson
refused to do, his principal desire
being to get the whole matter of his
hands. At his request Commits
sioner Mason promised to take entire
charge of the affair and consult
about it with Conkling, and if neces-
sary with President Arthur. He
believed that the letter should be
construed in a less bloodthirsty
spirit.
UTICA, N. Y, Oct. 4-The writer
of the letter said to contain threats
of assassination against Conkling
has been discovered and interviewed.
He is Henry J. Row!ey, of the
second ward, in Utica, who has been
q Republican speaker and who
offered strong Garfield sympathy
resolution ct the late ward caucus,
which received two votes only,
more moderate resolution offered by
a stalwart being adopted Instead.
Rowley has no particular occupa-
ticn. but says he formerly kept a
hotel at Canastoga, where he EN-.
ployed D. H. johnson mot Jackson)
now of No. IA South street, New
York, to whom the letter was
written. Rowley admits that the
letter contained an expression of
hope that somebody would put
bullet through Conkling if he at
tempted to enter the Republican
State convention.
Secretary Window wants 10 Resign Mt
Once,
ST.. PAUL, Oct. 3.-The Pioneer
Press will announce Sunday on good
authority, that Secretary Window
insists that President Arthur regard
his resignation as bona fde, and
accept it in time for him to reach
St. Paul before the assembling of
the special session of the legislature
on October 10th, from which he
will risk reelection to the Senate.

sury with the reputation of having

An Excellent Idea.
New YORK, Oct. 4.-Thurlow
Weed, in this mornings Post, sug-
gests as token of nation al friendly
feeling towards Queen Victoria and
the acknowledgement and sympathy
shown by England towards the late
President, that the British flag BIT
suluted with extraordinary h0nors
at the Yorktown celebration. Let
it be saluted Ivy the assembled artil-
lery of that field; let the queen be
honored likewise and in the same
royal manner as if she were present
i'm person; let all the bands unite in
? God Save Victoria" let the whole
army, and and the whole multitude
unite in cheers at the mention of
her name, and everywhere over the
length and breadth of the land
wherever our flag is raised, let the
national colors of Old England be
twined with it, in Joy that the
mother and daughter nations are
one; let every orchestra on that
night render the national airs of
England and let every organ on that
Sunday which follows peal with the
anthem which invokes a blessing on
its queen.
A Generous Idea.

terror evidence of interior sorrow for
