The Courtesy Of the Senate.

During the progress of the controversy
between Senator Conkling and the Presi-
dent in regard to the New York appoint
ments a good deal has been said about
the courtesy of the Senate" The idea
has been sedulously put forth that an
unwritten law Of courtesy, recognized
by President Washington himself and by
all his successors, has restrained and
ought to restrain the Executive from
insisting upon appointments within any
State which are objected to by both OF
the Senators from that State. In
fortunately, remarks the Baltimore Sun,
the President in General Washing
toms time, the one chiefly relied upon
because it was the occasion of a special
message from the President to the Sen
ate, fails to prove the point Colonel
FishbOurne's nomination to be Collector
of Savannah was rejected by the Senate
at the instance Of the two Georgia Sena-
tors. It was not withdrawn by the
President, who, in sending IN afterwards
another name in place of Colonel Fish
bournes, took occasion to justify his
first choice by giving his reasons for the
nomina ton Of Colonel Fishbourne. The
courtesy Of the Senate" proved in the
case was nothing more than the willing
ness shown by tlat body to accept the
objections Of the Georgia Senators as
sufficient reason for rejecting the Presi-
dents nomination.

The RaifOrd Canal.

We had the pleasure of visit yester-
lay from Mr. s. Fordham, of Pennsyl-
vania, and Mr.. Shepperd, of St. Mary's,
Georgia The latter gentleman will be
remembered for the interest which he
took while Collector of the port of st.
Marys in what is known as the Raiford
Canal, plan inaugurated by the late
Colonel RaifOrd, by which he proposed
establishing a land-locked waterway
from the Mississippi river to the Atlantic
by connecting the inland passages
along the Gulf of Mexico with
those on the Georgia coast by
means of canal extending from the
headwaters of the Suwannee to the ST.
Mary's river. A preliminary survey was
made of that portion of the proposed
canal extending through Florida, and it
was demonstrated that the project was
feasible. By the proposed inland water
way, it is maintained that the grain of
the great West can be transported in
barges down the Mississippi, and thence
to the Atlantic coast, without
breaking bulk, and then to
the European markets. Mr.. Ford
ham informs US that great interest is
manifested by the people of the North
west in the project, as it offers a simple
cOIutiou IF tho chaan Recommendation
problem to the now pent up products of
that great grain growing country. Mr..
T. assures us that an effort will be made
at an early day to have the canal con-
structed. He is very enthusiastic on the
subject, and says that he expects to see
barges with grain grown in Minnesota
discharging their cargoes at ports IN
Georgia within the next two years.

The official estimate OF the gold coin
now in this country is $520, 900, 900.
This is exceeded by two other nations
only, France having 1927, 200, 900 and
England 1896, 100000. There are indi-
cations that the stream of gold which
has been pouring into the country will
be checked or suspended for season.
Money has become so cheap that merchan-
disc is now preferred, and importations
have increased accordingly. The abun-
dance of money and the low rate of in
terest is doing miracles at present in the
growth of business and unprecedented de-
velopment that's now going on all over the
country. A check in the flow of gold
would not affect this development unless
our present supply of gold begun to go
the other way. Too little money availa.
Gle for investments means high interest
and less business. Too much money
that is, more money than the business OF
the country can legitimately employs
also undesirable, as it tends to stimulate
uusound speculation and unsettles
values. This ebb and flow regulates
itself. and when we cease TO import gold
it will only be because it is more to our
advantage to import its equivalent in
goods.

Abatement of Official Zeal in the
Star Route Investigation.

A Washington special says: "Rumors
have been freely circulated to-day to the
effect that the star route investigations
are to be permitted to die out. 1t is
said in the circle friendly to what is
called the star route ring that Gen. Gar
field, member of the House, wrote to
Mr.. Hayes a letter defending Brady from
the charges made against him, and urg-
ing the President not to be influenced by
them. The letter, it is said, is now on
file. A further reason for the discon.
tinuance of the investigation is alleged
to exist in the fact that Secretaries
Blaine and Window were both mem
bers of the Senate Committee on Ap-
preparations at the time the Star
route subject was discussed before Con-
gress, and both favored the increased APP
Preparations asked for by Brady.
Whether it be true or not that there is to
be an abatement of zeal in the progress
of the official investigation here into the
star route business, it may not be ex-
pected that whatever is rotten or wrong
is not to be brought TO light. The
judicial Investigations which have
already been commenced in different
parts, and others which are likely to fol-
low, are bound to lay bare much of that
which is covered up, and the anxious
faces OF some of the star route contrac-
tors and jobbers who are hanging around
Washington show that they dread what
is coming. These gentlemen and their
friends are naturally DESTROYS of turning
the tables against the Postmaster Gen
eral, whom they look upon as the first
mover in the matter"

WHOLESALE ESIIGRATION.-The story
circulated some time ago that an At
lantic steamship line had contracted to
carry $4,000 Scandinavian emigrants
from Sweden and Norway to the United
States had an exaggerated sound about
it, and, while many persons may have
placed some credence in it, il is proba-
bic that few believed the figures to be
correct. It is likely, however, that they
are underestimate rather than exag
gerated. The Consul of Norway and
Sweden at New York gave a re
porter last week fuller particu-
lars of this movement-an exodus
rather than an emigration. Such large

Boss ConkIIng's Overthrow.

The truth of the adage that pride
goes before faIl' finds a striking illus
trationin the fate that has overtaken Boss
Conkling. Blinded by his exceeding
vanity and imperious arrogance, he fail.
ed to perceive the untenableness Of his
position. and in his contempt for the popu
lar judgment, assumed an attitude OF
bold defiance from which 1t was impos-
sible to retreat with honor, and which
has resulted in his utter dis
cOmiture and humiliation. As
will be seen by the dispatches
which we publish this morning, his
course is very generally condemned by
his party in his own State, and his puerile
resort of resignation in the face of GER
tain defeat. instead of elIciting popular
sentiment in his favor, has excited indig.
nation and contempt. The announce
ment of Judge Robertson's confirmation
was received with imposing demonstra'
tons Of approval by the Republican Cen
trail Club, and already the Legislature
has been canvassed, and a sufficient
number of votes, it is said, pledged to
defeat his reelection. Such is the frat
popular impulse among the Republican
leaders, and with the active efforts of
the Presidents supporters, backed by
the patronage and influence of the adj
ministration, it is not likely that the
popular condemnation will soon abate.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger (Rep), writing from New York
on Monday, says: ''The more iudicious
of Senator Conkling's friends, after the
first 'hurrah' over the news of his and
Mr.. Platt's designations, are inclined to
pause and reflect, and the reflection has
led them to the conclusion that he has
made false step. If the question al
issue had been one of commanding ma
tional importance, directly affecting
some vital public interest, they begin to
see the proceeding would have had some
justification; but, inssmuch as the bone
of contention was simply the patronage
of the New York custom house, they are
afraid the great body of the Republican
party will look upon it as too small
a matter for big craftsmanship.
Outside of the political circle, public
feeling, as far as have been able to OBJ
serve, is all on the side Of the President.
At the Commercial Exchange and among
the bankers and brokers, it was COM
mon expression in the course of the af-
ternoon that it was high time that
the country should find out which is
President, the man whom the people
placed in the White House, or the
New York man who is tryin g
to coerce or intimldate him. Il
was also remarked that 'Conk-
ling. like petulant school boy, had run
away, because he could not get what he
wanted, and that he should resign bis
position simply because he could not
control the custom house was set down
IS but another proof eff selishness and
greed characteristic enough of the aver
age New York politician, but wholly
unbecoming public man that has put
forth such lofty pretensions to states
manship."

munities are enriched not by the profit

speculative enterprises, but by the slow

and business. The government should
never be permitted to do what the citi

real wealth will accumulate and sturdy

maintained.

SUPPRESSION or POLYGANY.-The
President, as has been mentioned,
is determined TO use to the utmost all
lawful means at his command to sup
press the institution of polygamy in
Utah Territory. One of the most i'm
portant aims in this connection will be
to stop the continued large immigration
Of Mormon proselytes from Europe. The
Mormon apostles and agents are con
stantly at work among certain classes OF
the peasantry of Europe, and it is
through the recruits drawn from thence
that the Mormons are principally able to
Keep up their strength. The Secretary
Of State, by request of the President,
will take this subject into consideration,
with a view to ascertain whether some
methot cannot be devised to remedy the
evil.
