The struggle at Albany, N Y, between
the Conkling and Garfield factions of the Re
publican party over the proposed reelection
of Senators ConlSling and Plat, is one of the
most bitter political contests that has ever
taken place in any party, Conklng is man
ofpre- eminent ability and is the acknowledge
ed leader of the most determined, aggressive
and INSCRIPTIONS element of the Republican
party. The chances of his victory or defeat
are about even. In either event the Repub-
lican party of the country will henceforth be
divided into warning factions which can never
more pe reconciled. The Democrats in the
New York Legislature do not propose to side
with either faction unless they can secure the
election of one of the United States Senators
thereby.

Adjournment of the Sena te.

After session of nearly three months, the
U. S. Senate adjourned on Friday last Its
record is one of which the Republican party
has little reason to feel proud. Instead of
proceeding at once with the business for
which the special session was called, the
Republicans, in their anxiety to secure I'M
mediate control of the body, made a shame
full bargain with Senator Mahone-who came
to the Senate as n Democrat-by which they
secured the Craftsmanship of the various
committees. In return for his vote, Malone
was permitted to name the Republican candi-
dates for sergeant, alarms and secretary of
the Senate. 1t is unusual to change these
officers at a special session, and as the Repub-
lcans were not in majority, even with
Mahone's vote, the Democrats were united
in preventing the contamination of bargain
that was dstasteful to all right-thnking
Republicans rs well as to the Democrats
The latter were willing at any time to pro-
coed with the consideration ofthe Presidents
appointments, but the Republicans in their
scramble for offices, saw fit to wilfully de-
lay the public business, at the dictation of
Senator Conklng, while the latter labored to
secure the pledge ofvotes enough to defeat
the nomination of Judge Robertson as col
lector of the port of New York
The resignation of Senators Conk ling and
Platt, of New York, left the Democrats in
majority and the public business was at once
transacted and completed Senator Mahone's
friends, Gorham and Riddlcbergcr, both
failed to secure their places, but in the insane
struggle for party supremacy between Conk-
ling and Blaine--for the latter is believed to
be the power behind the throne that moved
Gartied-the Republican party has been dis
tructcd and almost hopelessly rent in twain
The angry discussions have shed Il flood of
lightupon the internal workings ofthat party,
showing that its present leaders are actuated
by purpososofpersonal ACKNOWLEDGMENT rather
than by desire for the good of the country
There are hundreds Of voters in the Rcpub
licans ranks upon whom party allegiance
sits very lightly, and who vote according to
what they conceive to be the best interests of
the country. At the next election, we ven
ture to predict, they will take the oppor-
tunity to express their disapproval of the
conduct of the Republican leaders at the ses-
sion just ended, in way that can not be
misconstrued.

One of the most sensible things done by
the Senate was the rejection of VIM. f.
Chandler, nominated for Solicitor General
He is bitter partisan, bold and unscrupu-
lous, and in that position he would no doubt
have married the South through his deputy
marshals and thus have kept up the agitation
upon which the Republican party has so long
existed

Friday last of typhoid fever. His father died on
May list, and Sammy, who was then in full en-

great comfort TO his mother, as the older son
is suffering with an affection of the lungs and

victim to his fathers disease, and died after a
short illness. The funeral which took place on
Sunday, was conducted by Rev. j. W. Steele,

sadness. A sister is also quite sick, and the
family is surely sadly afflicted

whose career illustrates the possibilities that
lie before every intelligent, faithful and indus

education were limited, and his first position
was as an assistant in country store in Lou.
don, Pa, where he was born. He rose from
one position to another, until at the age
of 26 he entered the service of the great
Pennsylvania Central Railroad, as gen
eral agent of the Eastern division. In 1850
he was elected vice-president of the road, and
upon the death of Mr.. j. Edgar Thompson
he succeeded to the presidency. During the
earlier part of the civil war President Lin
coin appointed him Assistant Secretary of
War, and his remarkable administrative and
executive abilities enabled him to bring order
out of chaos, restore confidence and organ
ize the war department upon an effective
system. He held the position but short
time, and then began the most extensive
series of railroad combinations ever ATTEMPT.
