The winter races at Pau gather the first
sporting circles OF France to a long sojourn. An
organization of the best standing manages the trot-
ting races which, as the society for the encourage
men of the nobler qualities of the horse, has met
with great success. Pau has in consequence be-
come a central point of sporting interest The
Prince of Bearn has, besides, one of the best
hunting ranges in France, and the hunts, to which
every stranger is welcome, are naturally con-
spicuous attraction for Pau. James Gordon Ben
nett, very rich American, has settled himself
in the former residence of Henry ", and his ex-
traYaganceS, made light b. the ownership of mill
ions, have not in any degree damaged Pau. For eX-
ample, Bennett engaged the Vienna Capelmeister
Strauss, with his entire company, atan honorarium
of 10000 francs, to come to Pau, where he played
a series of concerts, at which all Pau were guests,
Mr. Mackay the American nabOb, Who with his
sorees cOstumed balls, &C., has busted all Paris,
came with his wife to Pau. To honor them Mr.
Bennett arranged ball, engaging private express
trains, which brought from Paris and other cities,
also from the neighborhood of Pau, a brilliant
company. The people called this ball the dia-
mond ball." for at no opportunity save this and

Interesting Facts.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times, referring to General Gar
fields visit to New York in August last,
says:
The friends of the President say that the visit
was made at the earnest solicitation of Mr. COnk-
IingS friends; that Mr. Conklng in anticipation of
the visit preceded General Garfield to New
York for the purpose of meeting him there; that
Mr.. Conkling, without notice to any one left New
York short time before Garfield arrived; that all
efforts on their part to ascertain his whereabouts
were unsuccessful, and that after keeping General
Garfield in New Yoek for two days, in the hope
that Mr.. Conkling would return his friends be-
came disguised with his conduct and denounced
him for his strange action.
From all of which it appears, upon the
testimony of the friends of the Presi-
dent" that Senator Conkling did not de-
sire any assurances from General Gar
field, but that, on the contrary, he would
not even give him an opportunity to
make any, if such was the object of his
mission. The statement that MIR. Conk-
ling, in anticipation of the visit, preceded
General Garfield to New York for the
purpose of meeting him there" is not
true. The fact that he "left New York
short time before Garfield arrived 3"
would dispose of that without further
testimony.

An ORGAN Rluniens.

The President says he is not worrying about
1884, and no man of sense supposed he was. Conk-
ling is the man who is agitated on that subject
Not only is there a President to be elected then
but the Legislature which is to determine Mr..
Conklings successor is also then to be chosen. If
he has the patronage Of the State and the custom
house all viii be serene for him: but if he loses
both the outlook will be very different. Nobody
knows better than he that the perpetuation of his
primacy depends entirely upon the perpetuation
of his privilege to dispense all the patronage he
has hitherto controlled The President on the
contrary owes his election to the free will of the
people, and he can afford to trust his future en-
tirely to them He was nominated without patron
age and elected without patronage.--NeU York
Tribune.
But E. Y. S." wrote from here to the
Tribune in March that Robertson was
nominated for collector because the Pres
ident was "not idiotic enough to place
great political agency" like the New
York custom-house in the hands of any
one who would use it as a knife" with
which to "cut the throat Of the admin
iStration at the end of its first term"
Now, unless the administration had set
its heart on a second term, what protec-
ton could it need at the end of its first
term?
Mr.. Conkling's independence of patron
age stood the test of President Hayes's
hostile administration, and the Tribune
makes itself ridiculous in pretending to
forget that fact.
HGs General Garfield nominated with
out patronage, or did he receive the votes
of all the Federal officers who were
placed under his lead at Chicago by an
other candidate? Was he elected with
out patronage? His intimate friends de-
clared to New York Times correspond
ent that one gentleman "was named for
place in the Cabinet" Were there
other similar promises? The Tribune
must not be beaten by the Times for
White House news on such important
matters
