fashion, We cannot make ourselvesIsole
referee for continent of states, all free
and independent, and quite capable OF
Choosing their arbitrstors without dicta-
ton from US. It is indeed we'll that
Blaine is so soon to retire from the post
Of secretary of state.
The World, always enthusiastic on the
on the subject of the South American re-
public, SAYS of Blaine's letter: Chill has
wilfully compromised her own position,
and put herself in wrong, both towards
Peru and towards the United States. It
is both our duty and our right tesee that
she retrace her steps and comes upon the
standing ground Of American, not Ct
European, international law. s5.Al.
The Tribune says: More than one mis-
apprehension as to our recent diplomatic
dealing with Chill and Peru ia corrected
by the publication of Secretary Blaine's
letters of instructions to Ministers Hurl-
but and Fitzpatrick. These Constructions
are not in the least contradictory, but are
clear, explicit and consistent. In neither
letter is there any threat of interference
or any effort to thrust the United States
into the position Of seeking to become an
unlimited arbitrator. -

Tine funeral Of Captain Charles r. Ganter

The funeral OF Captain Charles L. Ganter
took place Sunday afternoon, and was
numerously attended. Captain Ganter for
many years kept a saloon In Richmond, va.
Five or six years ago he opened the Old
Dominion saloon In this city at 927 ID street,
which has been kind OF headquarters for
many visitors from Richmond since. He
was very popular as a salOOn-keeper, ana
was a pember OF several local German
organizations. He died on Friday night
last Washington letter to baltimore Sun.
Frank BIackman, Of Stanford, n. Y, on
Saturday failed in three different attempts
at suicide. He first tried hanging, and the
moose slipped over his head, allowing him
TO come down on the ground with jerk.
He then cut cash in bis throat, aud, IN at
tempting to blow out his brains with gun,
lodged a load OF shot in his shoulder. HIS
injuries are not dangerous.
Mrs. Roscoe Conkling and her daughter,
Mrs. Oakman, are spending the summer at
Richfed Springs. Mrs. Oakmsn is mem
toned as a beautiful and graceful young
lady.
The London Times has sixteen reporters

OF that journal have made an appeal for

New York and the United States Sen.
ate

The election OF senator from New York
TO succeed Mr.. Plat Is not an lniallible
Sign that Mr.. COMBINES successor VIII be
elected at the current session OF the Legs
lature. The Legislature ought to adjourn
this week, and probably will do so. The fact
that the Democrats and the CoSKLTNG men
were strong enough TO force an ADJOURN
ment last Saturday after MIR. NnLER's elee-
ton had taken place Is at least some evi-
dence that the StaIwarts have not yet lost
all hope OF being able TO compel the other
Republicans either TO reject Mr.. CoaKLTNG
or TO remit the question OF who shall be
elected to the people at the ballot-box next
November, This Is exactly what we desire
20 see done, aud what the Democrats ought
to aid 10 doing.
II the present Legislature elects two SEN
ators, they will both be Administration
senator's, and the Senate will stand next
December as 1t did before CoNKLNG ana
Plat resigned-that is 3S Democrats IN
GLIDING DAVID DAVIS, and 80 Republicans
including MALONE, and Republican vice.
President TO give the casting vote. III, how
ever. the Democrats aud the CoNKLING men
can POSTPONE the election OF the other
Halted States senator from New York until
next winter, the Senate will STAND next
December 80 Democrats, including DAVIS
and only 81 Republicans, including MA
HONE: or, In other words. the Demo-
Gratis will have control Of the Senate,
will elect all its officers, make Democrats
chsirmen OF all the important committees,
and "turn down" General MALONE. Mr.
CoxK1ING himself is known to be in favor
81 this latter programme-we mean only so
far as TO be in favor OF postponing the
election Of his successor until next winter;
but the influence OF the Administration Is
so great in New York that il is considered
doubtful whether be car induce bis thirty
Slalwart followers all to stand by him and
refuse to allow LAPHAN or any other noml-
nee of the Half Breed caucus to be elected
TO the seat he vacated.
Now that one OF the New York senators
has been elected, there is no longer any
Danger or nope Oh hdue 'nat "o"'" si'N
one Of them to the Half Breeds and
the other to the Republicans, or one OF
them to the Democrats and the other to one
or the other OF the Republican factions.
This change in the situation is rather favera-
BILE than otherwise to the present scheme OF
the Democrats and COnklngites 10 adjourn
the Legislature without choosing sue
cessOr to Mr.. COEKLING.
The fact that LAPHAM wss not elected
yesterday is an additional sign favorable to
the present scheme Of the Democrats and
the Conklingites.
The Legislature is worn out, and can't
remain in session much longer. So the
public will not long be kept in suspense in
regard to this matter.

Lord Roscoe st,lI Defiant and Hopeful

The New York Tribune ULTRA Admins
lration) says:
Ex-senator Conkling arrived in this city
from Washington yesterday morning, and
went Immediately to the Fiflh.Avenue
Hotel. During the day he displayed I'M
wOnted activity and kept messengers and
telegraph boys busy. His friends said that
be was now engaged in the greatest effort
of his life, and that was TO prevent the cleo
lion OF Dir. Lapham as his successor ia the
Uniled States Senate. Mr.. COnkling in his
looks and manners yesterday bore out the
truth OF this assertion. He refused TO be
stopped for moment by reporters, but
went about with tue air Of a man who was
engaged in a desperate struggle for exist
ence and who at the same time was deter
mined to wresk vengeance on his enemies.
Soon afier his arrival at the hotel, Vice.
President Arthur called upon him and re-
maiued with him good part OF the day. A
few other trusted workers were admitted
by private entrance, aud sort OF con-
sultstion was held. From one OF those
present something OF what took place was
learned. Mr.. Conkling declared that lie
was not beaten, and that one final deter.
miEed effort must be made TO adjourn the
Legislature without electing his successor;
g but at all hazards" he said, that man
Iapham must be prevented from reaping the
reward OF bis perfidy by an election to the
Senate" Mr. Conkling referred TO Senator
elect Miller in a sueering way, according to
his friends, while he did not design to no.
tice his late supporter, Speaker Sharpe.
The conference with Vice-President Ar
thur put at rest the rumors that the Vice
President was party to the election OF Mr..
Miller. In fact, the Vice-President took
occasion to say that be " did all he could to
hold sharpe aud the other deserters." The
Vice President aud the ex-senator took
counsel together as to what course should
be pursued TO prevent the election OF Lap
ham. They went over the list OF Staiwarts
who voted for Mr.. Conkling Saturday, and
concluded that twenty-seyen OF them could
be absolutely depended upon to do anything
that Mr.. Conkling wished.

Mr.. CAMERON addressed the voters Of
Tszewell last week. The Nelos says of him :
"Colonel Cameron seemed to be unfor-
tunaie in having been hcralded as an elo'
quent and impressive speaker. whereas his
reputation has been gained rather by his
pen than his tongue; the general feeling,
As far as aH outsider could learn it, being
one of disappointment

"We have never seen a more full or har-
monious County Convention than that
gathered at the courthouse Tuesday morn

that surely point to splendid result in

O. You are looking better than ever,

her hand tenderly over the patients
brow. eyes, and feeling better, -too,"
responded the President, "and am as
hungry as a wolf" The physicians en-
tered at that moment. and the wound was
dressed. The increased and healthy dis
charge OF pus was noted, aud the patient
was Informed that be was in fair way OF
recovery. "Don't you think could sit up
In he'd little whiIe," the President asked,
making movement az though about to rise.

sank back upon his pillow with look OF
resignation. Well, L feel as II could SIT

"tell the cook to be careful and bake tue
potato thoroughly. You might add bit OIL

ever received and executed an order more
swiftly and deightedly than Crump, and
when the meal was placed before the patient
he expressed his qualification by the drolI
