General Arthur had not then been nomi-
mated or thought of for Vice-President.
The next speech by Mr.. Conkling was
made at the Academy of Music on the
18th of September, few days after
the defeat of the party in Maine. There
was no sulking at any time. He did
give the presidential candidate a lively
time trying to catch him and pour into
his ear promises which he had not asked
and did not wish. Indeed he succeeded
in eyading him altogether. But that
was not sulking. VIII any one deny that
Mr.. Conkling carried the lance of the
Republican party into the ranks of the
enemy as he had promised?

William III. Barnum in Virginia.

The following strange story appears in
the Richmond correspondence in yester-
days New York Herald We do not de-
sire it to be true but we desire to have
its truth or falsity determined. We have
some knowledge Of this Virginia bust
ness, and as the forces settle themselves
in the impending conflict there will be
opportunities to give the facts which will
make plain much that is now but seen
through glass darkly. The Administra-
ton will not, we trust, seek to evade the
great issue in Virginia bya policy of crafty
indirection. If it seeks visible coalition
with Southern Bourbonism the anti
Bourbon cause will be none the weaker
for that. There will be no straight Re-
publican ticket representing any element
worth considering, unless it is made with
the open or secret appreciation of the
President. The President knows that
the BOurbOns regard such Il ticket as in
dispensable to their success. He knows
whether he desires the Bourbons to Sue
ceed or to fail. and he will act accord
ingly. The 2eadiusters cannot be de-
feated by the Bourbons, aided by any
open allies. And it will be most difficult
to conceal an alliance. To encourage de-
sertion from the Liberals is to openly es-
pouse the Bourbon cause. Here is what
the HerGLd'S correspondent wrote:
ALLEGED ADMINISTRATION BARGAIN
On the other hand, there was much speculation
andquiet confabS among certain posted Democrats
in reference to the rumor of an understanding be-
tween the Administration and the Bourbons, the
substance of which was telegraphed TO the Herald
last night As the story goes, this rumOr, whether
rightfully wrongfully, is credited TO Mr. William
H. Barnum, who was here recently looking after
coal interests. It was in effect that the Ad-
ministration had agreed to withhold its support
from the Readjusters, and stand aloof in consdera
tionfor which negative support of the Democratic
Funder party the Democratic Senators were to
support the Administration This was a sweet po-
litical morsel, which the Funders relished and
glOated over. Further investigation to-day went
not only to confirm the rumor, but also disclosed
the fact that two or three Democratic leaders were
fully cogHizant of all the terms and specifications
of the understanding with the Administration.
They denied that there was sanything like bargain
in this Administration Republican Democratic al
lance, but that it was merely tacit understand
ing on their respective parts by which the Admin
stration was to keep its hands Off in Virginia. and
the Democrats in the Senate pledged themselves
not TO oppose any Administration measures, pro-
vided they were such as TO be unobjectionable in
respectable Democratic point ofView.

A HaIfBreed Confession.

The majority of the Republicans as shown in
two votes taken in the Legislature, say that Mr..
COnkling shall not again be a Senator from this
State. Ifthis is suggested, the reply Immediately
is: " Oh, yes we'll admit that but it is also a car
dlnal doctrine that the wishes ofthe party must be
expressed first in the caucus" Theyare still tena-
cious of the caucus, hoping, if a caucus could be
secured, that sufficient number of men could be
induced to vote a written secret ballot for Conk-
lingwho dare not now stand up in their places and
name him in joint assembly. The Administration
men, adopting the saying that d" The honest man is
the man who is best watched" prefer to maintain
the safe position Of refusing to enter caucus rather
than accept any chances that might accompany
secret ballot.-Neo York Times Albany Correspondent
Here is violent Administration ad-
vocate admitting that, after all the captur-
ing Of votes against Conkling, they would
not stay captured if they could only get a
chance to vote for him without its being
known to their captors. 1t is a sad COM
mentary on the weakness of poor human
nature, but it is true nevertheless that the
promised gifts and present smiles of a
President and his threatened frowns
have power to shake from their purposes
many men chosen as representatives of
the people. No wonder the Administra-
ton and rail road tricksiers fear to trust
their purchased slaves out of their sight.
No secret ballot for them. With them
% the honest man is the best watched"

"Come ON" he said, land let's 60 and

The chief ground OF the new confidence
of the ConkIing leaders that there VIII not be an
election SC soon as was expected is undoubtedly
their belief that the Administration men cannot
unite. The history of past party fights makes it
easy for them to believe this The anti-machine
Republicans have not been in the habit of agree
ing They could not consolidate upon any one
candidate for GovernOrin the convention of 1872
but went into it in half a dozen different detach-
ments, all fighting each other The same thing
was seen in the senatorial contest last January.
There were three Ormore snti-machine candidates,
and the friends of each insisted upon their man.
There was no union, and the result was a prompt
defeat. The CoHkling men think they see the
same thing in this contest. They saw the anti
Conkling vote yesterday and to-day divided up
among twenty candidates for the two terms, while
their own vote, small as it is, is fixed upon
two candidates. They believe they see the same
irreconcilable elements il the Administration
party that have existed there in times past. They
count upon failure to unite. This would Of
necessity prolong the struggle, perhaps until
time came when an adjournment would be well
coined by men who would now oppose it.

The picture Of Christ in the Pre-
torium," just completed by Munkaczy, is interest
ing all the art lovers in Paris. The head of the
Saviour is intensely beautiful and melancholy,
and the general conception is one of the loftiest
expressions of ideal beauty. That Munkaczy has
not attempted to paint what is called divine fig
ure has given rise to discussion. Il should never
have ventured to paint divine figure" he says,
for what is divine cannot be painted if it could,
it would cease to be divine. 1 wished to paint a
God who has assumed human form, and who could
only assume it in its more perfect aspect" This

,zanone.s BLACK Followers.

Interviews with leading colored Read
justers Justify haarding the opinion that even
an adverse administration and straightout Re-
publican ticket will fail to draw any considerable
portion of the colored voters from the Readusters
All efforts in that direction on the part of the
Hayes administration signally failed in 1879, and
despite most active and energetic canvass by the
Republican leaders i'll favor of candidate of their
own for the Senate, Malone obtained the almost
unanimous support of the Republicans in the
Legislature, and was elected 10 the Senate over
both Democratic and Republican candidates. The
negroes seem to be alive to the fact that neither
the National nor State Republican party can secure
10 them the right to vote without the payment of
tax; that they could not protect public schools;
that they could give them absolutely local legal
rights, and that as political organizations both of
them are utterly helpless and unable to perform
the most trivial function of party. On these
grounds, there being no congressional nor ma
tional candidates, which releases them from al
party obligations, the negroes consider that their
next duty is to themselves, and, the Readjusters
having demonstrated their willingness to accord
them their rights in 1879. they now attach them
selves To that party for better worse.-New York

two words, and then, having borne testimony of
her love, threw the paper away-Aaanta ConSti-
