The Tribune says; The swelling cho-
rus which the Presidents withdrawal OF
nominations has aroused, comes from ev-
cry part of the country. The strongest
republican journals of every State join it.
and in this State it is swelled by journals
which have never dissented from Mr.. Conk-
ling before. The cause is not antipathy
to Mr.. Conkling. 1t is hearty rejoicing
that the republican party has a leader just
enough. broad enough and fearless enough
to treat with fairness all elements of the
party. 1t is keen satisfaction that the
inpudent usurpation. which threatened to
rob the President elected by the people ol
his constitutional power. is firmly and eff
fectively resisted. President Garfield may
rest assured that the people who elected
will sustain him.

Shall be Conducted Honestly.

New YORK, May II. Postmaster General
James in his response at the Chamber OF
Commerce banquet, last night, speaking of
the Investigations now in progress in the
post office department., by direction of the
President, said -
Let me say they are aimed at a system
and not men, but if this inquiry should dis
close that any persons had been guilty of
corruption and fraud. they will be handed
over to the department of justice. [Great
applause. Second, the country may be as
sured that no mail service necessary to the
welfare of any community will be abolished
OF curtaied, while all unnecessary and
wasteful expenditures shall be relentlessly
cut off. TApplause. In other words it is
proposed that the postal service shall be con-
Quoted and distributed with strict regard to
actual public requirements and not with a
view to serving private interests. Applause.
l will only add in further reference TO this
subject, that it is the intention of the Presi-
dent as embodied in his explicit instructions
to myself and the honorable Attorney Gen.
eral. to pursue the investigation until there e
are no more facts connected with it to be
ascertained." Prolonged applause.

In the Merrill murder case the govern.
ment witnesses were all heard yesterday,
and the counsel for the prisoner made his
statement developing the line of defence
10 be pursued. The homicide is admitted
but it will be contended that an alteration
arose between Merrill and his mother in
the barn. and that in the heat of passion
he struck her and killed her. and that his
crime is therefore only manslaughter
There was quite sensation in the Court
room when the counsel announced what
the defence will be- Merrill will take the

Robertson.s 9 Nomination.

! There is no doubt that the nomination
]: Of Robertson will now be confirmed when
! it comes before the Senate. The irmness
Of the President has settled that. Senators
were willing to put off the confirmation to
please Conkling, but since they have
found the President determined to bring
the case Of Robertson to test vote, and
that they must decide for or against
him, few of them will hesitate to vote for
confirmation. Had the President consent
ed to allow matters to drift until next
December, it would have been
very gratifying to Senators who in
order to avoid offending Conkling are
willing to have the President humble his
great Office in the dust at the frown Of a
single arrogant and despotic Senator
But the President knew better what was
demanded Of him. II would be better for
him that Robertson should fail to be con-
firmed than that he should degrade him
self by Withdrawing the nomination or
consenting that it should be killed by
cowardly delay. 1t is his right and duty
TO nominate, and il is the duty Of the SEN
ate to act upon the nomination and con-
firm or reject. He has done his duty in
making the nomination. and now comes
a responsibility upon the Senate which it
should not attempt to shirk or evade.
II Senators desire to oppose the con-
firmation of Robertson on the ground that
the courtesy Of the Senate" requires
them To do 10, or that Senator Conkling
will be offended if they vote to confirm,
they can do it and take the responsibility
of answering to their constituents for the
act. When they do this they place obedi-
ence to the courtesy of the Senate"
above the duty they have sworn to per-
form, and place the power Of a single
Senator above that of the President of the
United States. 1t will not take them long
to learn what the republican party thinks
OF such position as that.
Or If they desire to vote against Rob-
ertson because he opposed the application
of the unit rule to the delegates elected
to the Chicago Convention, let them do it
If they will, but they ought frankly to say
so, and not skulk as though they were
afraid to meet the questions involvedin the
vote they are to cast. We venture to say
the people OF no State endorse the unit
rule. The opposition of the republican
party to it was made clearly manifest be-
tore the Chicago Convention, and the Con-
vention itself turned its back upon it.
That Mr. Robertson is eminently qualified
for the office nobody denies. If rejected
by the Senate it must be for one of the two
reasons mentioned above. and the Senators
who think they can sustain themselves by
such arguments in voting against Rob-
ertson will not be many. we feel fully per-
suaded. when the test comes.
