in sympathy with the course pursued by Tres
dent Hayes. Indeed, important appointments
in Maine were made contrary to his wishes,
and apparently for the purpose of breaking
his influence. Now Mr.. Blaine is member OF
the Administration, and ut least ten
of the Republican Senators elected this
wear have been his warm friends.
Moreover. Mr.. Window is Secretary OF
the Treasury, whose friends in the Senate
from Minnesota and other States are not likely

most important post in his department and
Mr.. sherman, formerly Secretary of the Treas
urv. can now employ his well-knOwn abilities
nm the floor of the Senate. All these circum-
stances indicate that Mr.. COnkling is likely to
command much less support among RepuDh-
cans in 1881 that he did in 1879.
The promotion of Collector Merritt is not
only agreeable to his wishes, but 1T removes
the possibility of constituting the change rs Il
discourtesv or injustice to him. The only men
who are now CRYING out that he ought TO be
kent ir the Office two years longer are fol-
lowers of Mr.. Conkling, the very man who was
so anxious only short time ago to have Col
lector Merritt removed Mt an early day. In
another and important respect, too, the situation
is very different from that Of 1879. AT that
time the Republicans of the Legislature were
almost unanimous in adherence to General
Arthur. Now they have voted unanimously
approving the nomination OF Senator Robert
son. and after long delay and much effort, the
opponents of that vote do not yet find them
selves strong enough in either house to re-

II cannot Dee sad that much has been ey-
pect,d OF Mr. jefferson Davis. since he diSnp-
pc4rcd from public life under his wifc's water
proof cloak. in Ecorria. some time u May
l.G5. His career closed when hc walked.
with hi, empty WATERFALL cloak and crimi-
mating boots. into the arms OF the Federal
soldiers, ard since that time he has served no
purpose except to preserve his own place IN
history with a periodical SNAIL of unframed
Rebel sentiment. Ne one ever expected Nh
Davis to be- rccoustructcd or looked to see him
render service of any Kind 20 the people whom
he led into a sea Of fire. But as even bad
temper j. often Amusing, it was at least sup
posed that Mr. Davis might be found
entertaining at times if only through
the variety and pictureSqueness of his dIa-
tribes against the Union. Robert Toomhs, for
example, is rather enjoyable than otherwise,
and when Mr. Davis made the famous remark
that he had never yet seen "a reconstructed
Southern woman" it raised hopes that he
might atone in part for his political crimes 10y
becoming a successful political Thersites
But the bitterness of a dull man is weari-
ness to the soul. and duh man Mr. jefferson
Davis assllrcdly is. He has been writing his
memoirs and some extracts from the book,
which is about appearing are printed on
the sixth page Of this paper Mr. Davis was
10 describe what j, to an American the most
interesting war ever wagcd, which was
crowded on both sides with strong and
rugged figures, and he was to describe il from
the most picturesque point Of view possible
that of the leader Of the lost cause, the fallen
chicftain. If we are to Judge Of the work from
Al. Ia. LILO pIp Inv
friendly ncwspapcr-hs story Of the Great
Rebellion viii be as wcarisome rs one of his
own reports while he was President Picrcc's
Secretary of War Ii would seem as if Mr.
Davis's enemy might have writtcn-not a book
against him-but his own book for him. If
this book WAS relied upon to preach the gospel
Of secession 10 future generations of Southern
crs, the message will be heard by few.
There are some points of novelty in his
presentation of the Rebels side of the great
controversy. Perhaps the most remarkable Of
them all is that in which he approaches the
Southern officers in The United States Navy
for having surrendered their ships to the
Government This the lofty moralist Of Beau
vor says was done "under an idea more
crcditablc to their sentiment than to their
knowledge OF the natuse of our Constitutional
"Union." AZ Mr.. Davis understood " our Consh-
tutional Union" the Navy belonged to the States
and not to the General Government and there
fore every Southern officer should have taken
his ship over to the Confederate cause. In
other words, should have stolen them. The
possibility that such a distribution might not
have been strictly just between the two
sections, all other considerations outside, d oes
not occur TO Mr. Davis This reasoning could
only have been adopted by an unscruDulous

"power of local self-government." The Greeks

LIE OPPOSITION 70 SGNArOR R0BtRTS0N

TIE OPPOSITION 70 SENATOR R0Bt RTSON
The boastfnl assertion by friends of Senator
Conkling that " the nomination Of Mr.. Robert
son will never he confirmed will only amuSe
people who have good memories. Exactly the
same boasts were made, by the same men,
when the nomination of Collector Merritt was
peuding Down to the final vote, it was be-
lieved. by the class of men who think what
Senator Conkling wishes 10 have them think,
that he was certain TO be victorious. When
the vote came, he was beaten badly.
There is every reason 20 believe that the
Administration is stronger to-day than that OF
President Hayes was when Collector Merritt
was nominated, and that Senator COnkling has
less strength iii the Senate than he had then.
President Hayes was in position OF great
embarrassment He had offended nearly every
active and influential leader Of his party by
one feature or another of his course. The
question whether his course was wise or UNI
wise is not pertinent here; that 1t had for
time alienated many Republicans from him Is
undisputed. In addition, the party was
not yet entirely united in respect to
the efforts for resumption of specie payments
Not few Republican Senators desired, on that
account, to see the influence of the Admins
tration lessened. But the most serious diff
Guilty was that the removal of General Arthur
after he had been retained for 80 long time,
and had been openly assured that his conduct
of the Office had been prliiseworthy. was a
step the justice OF which was seriously ques-
toned, even by many who were earnest sup
porters of the President
Under all these disadvantages, President
HAYES had to confront Senate largely COM
posed Of jealous adherents of General Grant.
During eight years of uninterrupted sway that
element, of which Mr.. COnkling was the recog
nized leader, had filed many seats in the
Senate, and had attached to itself by political
alliances many Senators who desired harmony
in the party" This element regarded the Adj
mnistration of President Hayes as a mere
interregnum, which would serve to break the
force of the popular objection to three con-
secutive terms, and looked upon General
Grant as predestined TO bc nominated
and elected again in 1880 Since that
time great change has occurred in the mem
bership Of the Senate, but a still greater
change in the feelings of many who then fol-
lowed the lead of Mr.. CCnkling. Only seven
of the eighteen Republicans who voted against
the confirmation of General Merritt are now
members Of the Senate. But the prestige, CO.
hesion and hopefulness of the tliird-tem
phalanx have vanished and there is now no ex-
pectston that Senator Conkling will again WELD,
az next friend OF the President, the influence
which be enjoyed to the full under President
Grant.
In 1879, when Collector Merritt was con-
armed, although Mr.. Blaine had been the
principal opponent Of General Grant In the
Cincinnati Convention, he was by no means

That was very pathetic and suggestive incident
recorded in yesterdays papers where gentleman
who had formerly led fast life, been Lieutenant
Governor of his State and Member Of Congress- but
had abandoned politics and returned to honest
labor, being at work on the streets in Charleston,
s. Co. there fell under his lifted pick from garbage
cart o copy of The Congressional Record containing
one of his own speeches. What q reminder this
ought 20 bo to all Of rs that we cannot escape the
consequences Of our own sinful acts. Even though
we repent of them, and abandon them, and try in
some humble. honest and laborions occupation TO
bury the memory of them in oblivion forever, the
garbage cart backs up and dumps before US itsre-
morsefnl and ruthless reminders. Here is a lesson
which should be taken to heart by every Member of
Congress " BE sure your sin will find you ont You
may think when the eloqucnce inside of you is fer
menting and foanring and sizzling to find vent,
that il would be fine thing TO turn the stream OF
your impassi0ned rhetoric on TO the dead level of
The Congressional Rtcord and beat the calm surface
Of that great National slopbOwl into wild and
troubled froth. Don't you do it! You'll be sorry
the next day. and the next, and always. Other
people may not read it. They probably will not.
But the speech will follow you forever You can no
more escape it than Colonel Frederic A. Conklings
audiences can escape the XXXyIIth Congress and
the Sith Regiment. II is liable to come mp to you
in any place and at any moment And even If yon
abandon your present mode of life and seek n Sub

The learned lawyer who lately declared that

Although active speculation regarding the
