The New Administration.

The roads traveledby the administration than those travelled by his predecessor. New tbeless Mir. Garfield is fnding out that no way is wide enough for Blaine and Conkling to travel peacea5ly together. The result is 8 breach almost as wide already between the new administration and the senior New York Senator as marked the four years term of the outgoing President. ..s.-s4sz.
 We have little fear that a quarrel with Conkling will make Garfield unpopular but, on the other hand, if this is te be mere Blaine administration, it will not satisfy a good many republicans who have no love for Conkling. Already the Springfield Republi- can>is taking strong ground against the new policy. That paper believes that Garfield is allowing Blaine altogether too strong an in- fiuence over his administration. It looks upon. the intrusion of Bill Chandler into McVeigh's department, and the appointment of Robertston, as alike due to the bold, push. ing tactics of the great Maine politician.
 Enough has not yet transpred, as it seems to us, to warrant any very positive conclusion. We are not yet willing by any means to con- cede that Garfield is a mere man of clay in the hands of Blaine. He has confessedly made some bad nominations and some excel lent nominations; and all of neither kind can with safety be attributed to the influence of his Secretary of State. The wiser and the fairer way will be to wait at least another month or two before we undertake to cEarac- terize the Garfield administration.

The Senate Debates.

The Senate debates of the past week have
 been of that unproftable kind which sets all
 the i'll blood in the body polite in rapid cir ! culation, yet which accomplishes nothing 1 The Democrats of the Senate. having allowed 1 the Republicans to remodel the committees l without serious opposition, have made stand l at the removal of the Democratic officers and ! the appointment of Republicans in their 1 places One or two of the proposed appoin-
 tees are Virginia Read;usters, and the Demo-
 crats have emphasized their objections to any
 change with round denunciations of the alleg-
 ed bargain between Malone and the Republi.
 cans, and of the inconsistency of an alliance
 between the party which claims special hnan- cial sOundness, at the North, and the party which specially champions repudiation at the South. The Republicans rejoin with irritat- ing remarks about tissue ballots, Chisolm
 murders, Mississippi repudiation. and other
 weak points in the Democratic line of de-
 fence
 Of Malone we confess to a very poor opin- ion. Though the Virginia Readjuster is no worse repudiator than the regular Demo- crat of States further South, he is worse than the average Democrat of his own State. He is useful, if at all. only as disorganizer of Democracy where Democracy is so strong and so overbeariug that any sort of disorganiza ten seems very like reform Tn Republican eyes. What would strike us as most probable is that faction passing its separate existence on 30 unstable a foundation, csuld hardly be expected to live: and that, after brief furry of political excitement, Virginia will repudi- ate her repudiators, and leave practically noth- ing of the Malone party but Malone. The talk of his being traitor to his party seems out of place. His faction is in more or less close alliance with Republication Tn Virginia He was elected to the Senate by coalition of Readjusters and Republicans. and his present course IS in fact only carrying out at Wash ington the policy he has long pursued in Vir- ginia.
 We are sorry to see one feature of the pres s.nt contest-the attempts of Southern polit- clans to excuse the inexcusable This was feature of the old anti-slavery agitation. It is in fact one of the unmistakable indications that men are in false position when they can neither retreat from it, nor offer any just req son for remaining it it. Southern Senators like Butler of South Carolina. and George of Mississippi, know very well that they could not carry an election on fair poll and fair count; yet they deny the tissue ballot, and the coercion of voters, the murder of prominent Republicans. and other facts which have char acterized so many elections in those States Nothing can be more unfortunate than such a course. There are many Northerners who may consider such methods, wrong as they unquestionaby are, less evil than the mis government, the robbery and the practicalc con 6scation of early Reconstruction but when Southern Senators base their defence on de nying the undeniable, they will certainly lose what Northern support they have hitherto had.

The May Festival.

The finest opportunity ever given musicians in this part of the country for hearing grand 1 musical works worthily performed, is offered by the New York May Festival of the present year. A chorus of 1,2O0 singers and an or | chestra O 250 players are in training and will give, during the first week in May, four eve ] ming and three afternoon concerts, comprising | some of the grandest works known to musical art, such as Handers Messiah, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, and Berlioz's Grand Re quiem. The solo singers engaged for the Fes- tival are known as distinguished artists among whom are Gerster, Cary, Campanini, Whit ney, Remmertz and many other we'll known 1 and favorite singers. The entire number of performers at the affair will exceed three | thousand. The Festival will be held in the Seventh Regiment Armory, between Fourth and Lexington Avenues and 66th and 67th Streets, which will accommodate an audience of 0,OOo people,
 l Neither chorus or orchestra are as large as those of the Boston Jubilee, but they will be much better trained, and will give much high CT and more difficult music than that enor- nous but somewhat chaotic assemblage of musicians was capable of performing. h. deed, the proposed Festival more nearly re- sembles those given by Thomas at Cincinnati than those organized by Gilmore at Boston New York has attempted nothing so ''co lossal" in the way of music for generation, if ever. .
 It is more in the quality of the performance than in mere force of numbers-great as that will be-that the May Festival is expected to excel. Its chorus has been carefully selected from among the very best singers of the city, and have been under the personal training of Dr. Damrosch, one of the most competent conductors in the country. It will conse- quentiy be near perfection in quality as well as large in quantity: It is in it's orchestras, however, that New York has its greatest ad- vantage over rival cities. It is there that much the largest proportion of the competent instrumental performers of the country, such as the Thomas orchestra, the Philharmonic, and the other trained players of numerous theatres is to be found.
 There will be an opportunity for the coun- try musician, or the country lover of music, to hear more first class music, performed by first class singers, by exceptionally fine cho. rnses, and by an exceptionally fine orchestra, within the short space of five days, than has ever been offered before within our remem hrance, or than is likely soon to be offered again. Season tickets for the entire festival are offered for $1O, very reasonable price when we consider the enormous expense that has been incurred and the great risk of loss the promoters of the enterprise must neces sarily run.

The Li'chfeld Enquirer and the Ray of this village, have had quite a controversy ovef Mrs Mix. the chlored woman who came here some time ago to heal the sick by prayer. Some one has furnished to the EnquiIer oar lial list "f those whom Mrs Mix healed" but who soon rela1sed. It is notorious fact to every frir-minded person in this community that Mrs Mix's eff rts to heal the sick, by prayer, in this locality, were ridiculous fail nres; and although we. at the time, conceded her honesty of purpose. yet her persistent ef- forts notwithstanding the unfavorable result convince us that she is an ignorant. deluded woman, encouraged in her del,ision by those whoought to know better. Of all the cases re- ported by the Ray at the time, not one was a cure; but we have yet to see the first acknowl- edgment by the Ray that Mrs. Mixs mission in this locality was an entire failure, as it certain ly was. Her cures were no cures at all In a case where the sickness is entirely of the mind, where the will has ceased to act, Mrs. Mix might be of service in arolslng the patient, in causing him to act-and so might hot poker. Bnt otherwise her presence and efforts are un- availing; and TO far-mnded. intelligent per- son. in this vicinity, believes Mrs Mix to be anything else than humbug; and that none hut hnmbugs wonld endorse her as anything else after she has once appeared in their neighborhood- -New Ai!ford Gazette.
