VIII the Garfield ii HOAftai fall.

About 40, 900 appeals were sent out
to all churches to take up a collection
on the first Sunday in November for the
Garfield Memorial Hospital. The pro-
ect turns out a signal failure, less than
i've thousand dollars thus far having
beeu received from all the churches in
the country, and not fifteen thousand
dollars from I'll other sources, including
conditional subscriptions. To carry
the enterprise through, not less than
two hundred thousand dollars are
needed for buildings alone and fully
half million dollars to endow it. The
committee having the scheme in charge
propose to continue their labors, al
though 1t is perfectly plain that the
money wi II not be raised from private
sources. There is talk about going to
Congress and asking for an appropria-
ton, but the money will hardly be
voted for an institution to be controlled
by private persons.

THE FRENCH IN TUNIS.

While the ostensible object of the Invasion
of The Tunisian territory, by the French, was
to punish the Kroumir tribe, it would appear
in the light of recent dispatches that it means
the annexation OF the regency to Algeria.
The intent of the French move becomes APP
parent when it is known that fOur-titths of
the Yunisian debt, which mounts to $35,OoO,-
600, have passed into the hands of the sub
iects of France. This sum has been pulchas-
ed within the past four Or five years at prices
ranging from 30 TO 80 cents OH the dollar.
Ten years ago the Italians were the principal
creditors of the Bey, but more recently French
Spectators have operated to gain possession
of the Tunisian bonds and they now control
nearly the entire debt. Should the territory
be annexed to Algeria, the French govern
ment would become responsible for the pay
ment of these bonds andwhen the finishing
stroke shall be given to the enterprise, they
would undoubtedly command a good pre-
MUM. In the face of the advance the French
have already made they have nearly doubled
in value. 1t is asserted boldly by the opposi-

make certain influential parties enormously
rich. Taking all the facts into consideration,
the object of the French government becomes
apparent. As the Sultan Of Turkey can not
aid the Bey in the defense of the territory,
and as the other European powers seem in
different to his fate, it is likely he will soon
be compelled to bundle out of his palace at
the command of the victorious French.

THEIR REASONS.

Accompanying their designations as United
States Senators of New York Messrs. Conk-
ling and Plat sent a long communication to
the legislature now in session at Albany, in
which they explained their reasons for resign
ing their seats in the senate. 1t appears that
Mr.. Garfield made several nominations for
important positions which were extremely
distasteful to these gentlemen. Among them
was the nomination of Judge Robertson to
the office of collector of the port of New
York, now filled by General Merritt. Anoth-
er was the nomination of a party to displace
General Badeau as consul general at London.
General Badeau, it will be remembered is en-
gagged in writing the life of Grant and the lat
ter particularly desired that Badeau should
be retained III his position, inasmuch as his
holding it gave him time to complete the
work without interfering with his official du-
ties. Another nomination by the president
would turu NJ. Cramer, who is, we believe,
The weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1878-1881, 1881-05-24

senators, from whatever state, to executive
displeasurs." The question now came to the
senators whether they should "surrender
their plain right and sworn duty by consent
ing to what they believed to be vicious, and
burtful or be assigned a position of dlsloyalty
TO the administration which they helped to
bring in and the success of which they earn
estly wish
In answering the question they hold that
no party avows a theory that requires such
submission; that the senate is not bound to
remove without just cause, incumbents
merely to make room for those whom the
president or a member of his cabinet may
wish to reward for being recreant to others
and servlceable to him. They then refer to
the fact that both MIR. Window and MIR.
kirkwood-now in the cabinet-when in the
senate Two years ago., adyis d the appoint
ment of General Merritt to the cOllectorship
of the port of New York, and that now when
it is sought to remove him neither of these
gentlemen nor Mr.. James of the postolflce
department has been consulted in the matter.
IuEthe face Of these facts they look upon the
action of Mr.. Garfield as arbitrary and un-
warranted by reason or precedepts. 70
prove this they quote a portion OF his lhau-
c,lrat III which he says: 'For the protection
of incumbents against intrigue and wrong, /
shall at the proper time ask congress to Tx
the nature of minor offices Ill several OF the
executive departments, and prescribe grounds
y O which renewals shall be made during
which incumbents have been appointed"
They also claim that Mr.. Merritt is better
fitted by experience aud business qualifica-
lions to administer the vast business pertain
ing to the port of New York than IS Mr..
Robertson and that the latter gentleman, &C
cording to his own declaration as it appear
ed in the New Yolk Tribune, was nominated
and his confirmation sought to be enforced as
a reward for his action as a delegate to the
national republican convention. Viewing
the act of Mr.. Robertson in that convention
as dishonorable, wherein he invited, persua-
ded and induced others to betray a trust, aud
believing that whoever counsels and procures
another to be dishonest must snare WlIh Iila'
other the guilt they, therefore, contend they
are wholly unable, upon whatever ground;
they put it, to see a justification for them
selves to become a party to the guilt by vo
ting for the confirmation of Robertson
Therefore, to avoid placing themselves in an
tagonisln with the admit abstraction, and to pre-
serve their self respect as men, they have vol
untary resigned their high trusts.
