| for trapping the Republicans and setting them
in q false light before the people.
The trick, however, is a very old one. Poll
ticians of all parties have been playing 1t ever
since there were any politics. 1t was only q
couple of Congresses ago that the same thing
precisely was attempted to be played upon our
Democratic friends in the House by that versa
tile ex-Republican statesman, General Ben
ButIer. The occasion being the election OF a
Doorkeepcr to succeed the man who was bigger
than old Grant, General Butler proposed 10
confuse the Democrats by offering in place OF
the Confederate general who was their caucus
nominee the name Of General Shields, Demo
Graf who had fought for the Union etc Gen
eral Buffers plan was favored by the circum-
stance of the absence of General Shields beyond
the reach of mails or kilograms somewhere in
the Businesses of the interior of Massachusetts,,
40 that he could not respond to the frantic calls
of the marty leaders upon him to withdraw. All
the same. however, the Democrats voted for the
other man and elected him. They didn't con-
fuse worth a cent. The truth is, political par
ties rs n rule select their own candidates, and
the instances are very rare in which after they
have once made their choice they permit their
opponents IN come in and change IT. Mr..
Beck's plan is a pewter imitation OF aplnchbeck
original. lie probably does not expect it to sue
coed. and ne will I've disappointed if he hopes to
annoy his opponents by it.
The proposition, however, to stave of action

dead set against Riddleberger rs the represent

SEN1TORIAL RCNORS.

Rumor alleges that Senator Conklinc has
made some bargain with Democratic senators
On the plea of maintaining the courtesy OF the
Senate il is asserted. some Democratic Scna-
tors will vote to aid Mr.. Conklinc aud his
friends in regard to New-York appointments,
providcd he and his friends will vote to defeat
appointments at the South that are not satisfac-
tory to Democratic Senators. This rumor prob
ably does gross injustice. 1t may Toe doubted
whether either of the alleged parties would
consent to take the position supposed South
ern Senators would not gain much by enlistng
In q raid against the Administration Nor can
Senator Conkling afford TO make bargain to
defeat the appointment of upright, reputable
and worthy Republicans in the Southern States.
If any such compact has been talked OF by any
body, probably no one is responsible except
acme of the cheap trading politicians who have
little TO lose.
The Republican party is at present engaged
in an earnest effort to encourage independence
at the South. Nothing could be more surely
fatal to that effort than any bargain between
faction of Republicans and the BOurbOns of
the South, to defeat the appointments made by
President Garfield. The rumor alleges that
this bargain and yet il is well known that the
understanding with Senator Malone, and the
nominations Of GOrham and Riddleberger,
were especially favored by those Senators.
Whoever pleases to believe that Mr.. COnkling
is a trckstcr, utterly without conscience or
conviction, might possibly believe that he
would adhere to the alliance with Malone and
to the support of Gorham and Riddleberger,
or that he would take part in n bargain with
Southern BOurbons, but no man who thinks
Senator Conkling possessed OF ordinary COM
mon sense can suppose that he will try to do
both.
The Republicans Of the Senate will answer to
their constituents for their course toward the
new Administration. 1t has treated them with
conspicuous fairness, but has not consented to
abdcate any part of its constitutional power,
and in this position it will be sustained by the
great majority of Republican voters. For
Southern appointments it has been the aim OF
the Administration, if one may judge from Its
action thus far, 20 select Republicans of such
high character that Democratic Senators will
find it neither easy nor profitable to oppose
them. For Republican Senators, opposition TO
that course will be found still less easy and less
profitable. Without claptrap or can't Presi-
dent Garfield has sought to build up genuine
Republican sentiment at the South, and to en-
courage true independence there. 1t is not
strange that BourbOns resist. Whether they
can answer successfully to their constituents
for that resistance remains to be seen. But
it is safe to say that no Republican Senator,
whatever his influence, can afford to vote
against the efforts of the Administration in that
narticular.

THE BOURBON PURPOSE.

= In the course of the daily squabble in the
Senate on Monday, Senator Beck, disclosing the
plan of the Bourbons, exposed almost as frankly
their motive. lie was arguing against the right
of the majority to elect officers at an extra ses-
sion, when he was interrupted with an inquiry
whether he would be willing to consider the
pending resolution-providing for the election
Of oficers-at the regular session in December.
He replied that he should be willing to consider
the resolution then, but added that in his judg-
nent Mr.. Riddleberger would not be elected Ser
geant-at-Arms, because the Virginia election
Swould then be over, and if a Republican. did
mot tender, somebody else would tender for
Sergeant-Rt-Arms some one who was Con-
aservatiye Republican, who had fought through
the war in the Federal army, who would be
ahere with his wounds upon him, and then the
Republicans could choose between the Confed-
aerate rcpudiating Riddleberger and that man"

A paragraph in the recent message Of Prcsi-
dent Gonzalez TO the Mexican Congress sum
marizes very concisely the results and imme-
diate prospects of the remarkable activity in
railway building which marks the beginning of
a new era for our sister Republic. II the reader
will look at a map Of Mexico, the extent and i'm
portancc of these new lines will be readily I'M
derstood, as we quote the references to them in
the message. First, the President speaks of n
concession granted by the authorities Of the
State of Guerrero to build n road from the City
of Mexico 10 Acapulco. Work on this line will
be begun at Acapulco early in May. When the
road is completed it will form, insOnnection
with the old road from Vera Cruz to the Capt.
tai, direct line across the country from the
Gulf to the Pacific Coast. Next he mentions the
MorelOs Railroad Company, which he says has
constructed 100 kilometres of road and will
soon reach Cautla. This is local enterprise
set on foot by the State Of Morelos. branch
from the main line to connect with the Mexico
and Vera Cruz Railway Is partly completed.
The railroads which are to unite Vera Cruz
with Jalapa, Jalapa with San Andres, and
Puebla with San Marcos, President Gonzalez
says, have been commenced, and twelve hlo-
metres of the road from Vera Cruz to Mvarado
are already finished. Three Of these roads are
local lines on the Gulf Coast region designed to
bring trade to Vera Cruz. The other-that from
