AT CONKLING's HOME.
Nothing bat q Trick TO Fortify
Himself Moro Firmly.

| UTICA, N. Y, May 16.-The boml
burst in this city shortly after dinner
and although the heaviest rain of tn,
year was falling the chief Get .yus
filled very soon with excited men, gath
ering to compare views on the startling
development. Nothing had been whis
pered here of Conkling' intention to re-
sign, although the news came up in the
morning that something important had
been under discussion at the stalwart
conference in New York yesterday
The Conkling men were little dazed,
but stood manfully up to the rack and
declared the resignation the most bril-.
liant thing in the history Of American
politics.
"You see," said one of them, gen
tleman who has held a Federal office foI
nearly fifteen years, "Mr. Conkling
will go back to Washington this time
for the, long term, good up to 1887. He
will be in the middle of his term when
Garfield goes out and will be able to
play his cards with the strongest sort of
backing. He will be released from the
possibility OF hostile Legislature be-
ing elected to defeat him in 1884 and
will be able to give all his attention to
the national aspect of the campaign
this year" This last was said with a
lurking twinkle Of eye, which meant:
"He will be able to throw the State if
he wants to and if he isn't used right by
the nominee or isn't the nominee him
self"
1t is significant fact that no one
locks upon the move as other than a
trick. Conkling's friends hold that it is
a bold move to show the bravery of the
man and the size of the risks he dares
take with the object of returning to
with Reimbursement Of the
Empire State Legislature at his back
and renew the fight.
The Independents think it is a trick
to scare the United States Senate into
dallying over Robertson name until he
and Platt can come back and to receive
u fresh supply of advertising. Mean
while the man is so vain, they say, that
he would do anything to create sensa-
tion and that is his main object now.

then related the circumstance Of the
beating in the yard, and said she called
to a man not to let CAB" kill her, and
that when he bame to her cab" ceased
his violence and ran away, only to at
tack her again at Guthrie's shop.
The physician who was called in is
DR.. Blocksom. Nothing is known re.
f1ecting upon the doctor, who is still out
of town, and it is thought that at the
time the girls condition puzzled him
he had not been made acquainted with
the beating, and that when he granted
the certificate he did not know of the
violent hemorrhage, which followed his
visit and preceded the girls death.

THE NEWS AT ALBANY.
ALBANY, NY, May l0.-As soon as it
was learned that the Governor intended
to send the letter Of reason for the resig-
nations of Senators Conkling and Platt
TO the Legislature, great interest was
to learn what the reasons
were. Both Houses were crowded with
spectators, and when the Senate adiour-
ned those in that chamber found their
way into the Assembly Chamber.
During the reading of the letter the
spectators occupied all the standing
room, and at the conclusion of the read
lng the spea ker was obliged to order the
foor TO be cleared, so that business could
be proceeded with. The "stalwarts"
are very reticent, and will not intimate
what is to be done. The anti-Conk-
llngltes are III high glee. The time for
gong into an election to fill the va
cancleS will be fixed tomorrow.

GENBRAL OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA,
SACRAMENTO, July Z, 1881.
DEAR SIR: In answer to your
letter Of the 9Th instant, l beg
leave to say that I have given It IS
my opinion that the attempt by
the Legislature to repeal the law
providing for an election OF cou nty
olncers this year was an indirect
extension of the terms Of such
county officers as were elected In
1879 for u term Of two yeare, and
that such extension, whether ac-
.compIishsd by direct provisions or
Indirectly as shs result Of Iegisla-
tion designed for that purpose, is In
copdict with section 8 of article
XI. of the Constitution. It results
that, in my opinion, there must be
an election held for the election Of
county officers throughout the
State this year.
Very truly you're,
