Letter from New York,


,, FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL, n. Y. May 81, 81,
My departure from Washington was con
temporaneous with Senators Copkling and
Plat although in no way Influenced by their
interests or movements. IL the disgraceful
dissentions which have possessed the new
administration of late, continue il would be
well for the country il the whole Republican
party would resign, and lot it devolve upon
the people to at once elect and insugura,e an
administration which will have the decency
to rise above quarrels and fueds, over the
spo'ls OF political power and the emolumen,s
OF petty Offices. The press of this city has
but ieebly portrayed the deep interest which
The people feel in regard to this schism in
the so called Blaine, Garfield administration
The administration adherents, desire it TO
DO Understood that
THE DETECTION OF CoNKLING
can cause no commotion in the political
word That can be considered as more than
ephemeral.
The people of this great city, however,
are profoundly impressed with the convics
lion that tho President, after requesting sen.
a'ors and representatives TO confer with him
US TO an equitable distribution of the Fed.
eral patronage in the different states, failed
to extend the same courtesy and conceded
right to the senator's from. n. Y. as to stall
wart sena ors from other states, and
that the state has thus in u
measure suffered n slight and in
dignity which should be rebuked
In the hotels, cafes, offices and business
houses tho schsm in the republican party is
the prolific theme of discussion, and the nc.
ton of the New York legislature is looked
forward 10 with IN interest almost MS height.
ened AS the returns from the last presidential
election. AS Il gladiator in the political field
MIR, Conkling is regarded by tho msiority OF
Nav Workers, as having no peer. His moral
status is hardly commensurate with his 20.
litcal greatness, and whether he is. or ia
rot, the "Tarquin" Gov. Sprague has
proclaimed him TO be, there are few who
would commend him as model of virtue
and chastity. President Garfield if AT all
Jealous OF any one usurping the
prerogstves OF chief executive
OF the nation, had far better have broken
with, and even denounced Blaine than ANY
other statesman.
The light ut Albany between the warning
factions OF the republican party, is bitter
and uncompromisii G, and whether the erea,
ex-senator from New York IL yinjics,ed by
reelection or not. tho longevity of the 70.
publican party in national affairs is regarded
us ended with this administration.
DECORATION DAY
in New York was celebrated on A Grand
scale. Military and civic organizations of
This and adjoining states psrsded the streets
with music and banners. AT noon multi.
tudes of people crossed over 10 BROOKLYN TO
attend tho ceremonies at Greenwood. The
day was very hot, and / saw several
veterans quite overcome with heat
whiles standing near the great monument
erected In Greenwood, In honor OF the New
York soldiers who fell In tho late war. After
The ceremonies were over, tho trains and
steamers were loaded 10 their u,mos, capsc.
" with visitors TO Coney Island beach, the
nearest n New York, and fast becoming one
OF Tho most noted watering places In the
world. A vast number Of attractions have
been developed there TO delight tho traveller,
and give him, to some extent, new lease
on the enjoyments Of life. Magnificent iron
steamers ply almost every hour between
Now York and Cony Island; passing Gov
ernors Island, the homo Of General Hancock
on the way.
Tho advent OF tho revised edition Of the Now
Testament is still attended with much more
IMAM ripple Of excitement here. The fac,
that tho foundations Of the doctrine of tho
Trinity have been rudcly meddled with 10 the
new translation Is causing some commo,ion
anon sticklers for doctrines and dogmss a.
