KINsToN, july. II. 1881.

NoAoN, outys AooA'
Dear Editor Please allow me
space in your valuable paper to state
to the many readers that the Seven
Lords Day in July the coincidence
of the most esteemed Bishop Clinton
were expressed by the meeting Of a
large congregation from both town
and country OF the A. M. E. Zion
church in Kinston.
After being comfortably seated,
we looked around and beheld nicely
arranged streamers Of white and
black, the black representing SYM
patby and mourning, while the white
was an emblem Of purity.
The text was from 1875 Psalm, 6
verse; read 1877. The choir sang an
appropriate hymn. Rev. A. G.
Kesler preached the coincidence SER
mon, and showed his vast experience
acquired by travel in the North and
South, and showed that he had al
heart AGENDA and that he was going
forth to meet those who he had la.
bored with, and his labor was not in
vain, and he has gone forth to rear
his reward from Him who rewards
the faithful. No doubt before now
he has been made to ecce homo, and
where I hope to meet him.
Yours fraternally,
L. III. FISHER.

''Persuasion!' said the dying man,

ers have just purchased what they call q
Chemical Fire Engine and paid, we are
informed, the sum Of 50, 200 for it. But
instead of its being Chemical Fire En-
CINE it is Chemical Humbug, and will
turn out so in the end. We have had
perhaps more experience in a fire depart
ment than any other man in Goldsboro,
and know these Engines to be first class
humbugs. Suppose that this soda foun-
tain Of thing was put to work upon such
fire as that when Mr.. Jno. r. Smiths
house was burned, what effect would it
have upon the flames in such fire? A
simpleton can answer this as we'll as the
wlsest citizen in our city. Why did not
our city fathers put three hundred dollars
more to the twenty-five hundred, and
purchase first class fire engine? Again
the men that compose the company are
not the class Of men to work around q
fire; man to be good fireman needs to
be hard listed working man, not clerks
and lawyers as this is. "a new broom
sweeps Clean" and this august company
mag last six months-or until the first
big fire we have-and then it will cease or
collapse, and the next thing we know
some colored parties will form company
and have little fun for a short while,
after which Needham X. Everett will get
the wagon part, Messrs. Griffin Bros. the
soda fountains and John Cook the ladders
land thus goes twenty-five hundred
dollars OF the peoples money.

Hayes on COnkling.

The Cleveland Herald June LIST
published an interview with ex-
President Hayes, in which he said:
"Mr. Conkling is a monomaniac on
the subject of his own importance.
He is so impressed with his own
greatness that it has become more
than eccentricity--it is monomania.
A patient often imagines that he is
some distinguished character or SUI
perior being. The men who do his
bidding Mr.. Oonkling considers in a
state Of subsection to him, and those
who refuse to obey his dictates he
considers his most bitter enemies.
He thinks they are trying to hui
initiate him. Humiliate is favorite
term with him. In 1879 Gen Robin
son asked Mr.. Conkling to come and
make speeches in Ohio, and his reply
was, "Why do you ask me to come
t0 Ohio when they have insulted me
there ?'' "Insulted you? How ?n
asked Gen. Robinson. why, have
they not endorsed this man Hayes's
administration, thereby making a
direct drive at me?" Conkling's
downward tendency dated from 1876.
He tried then in every way possible
to defeat the Republican party in
New York. Gov. Morgan, candi
date for Governor in New York that
year, was well satisfied that Conk-
ling did all in his power to defeat
him. Conkling made three attempts
to betray the Republican party. This
was one of them. The next was the
electoral commission. He had a
speech already prepared to overthrow
the action of the commission relative
to the returns from Louisiana. Sena-
tor Morton discovered his plan, and
succeeded in defeating it. There
never would haye been Potter in
vestigating committee but for Conk-
| link. The Democrats were 10th to go
into it, and only did so at the cram
est solicitation of Conkling. / do
not say he falsifed in this case, for /
think he really believed that the
men on the Louisiana boards had
entered into bargain for the sale OF
that State, and Conkling assured
Southern Senators that / would, from
very shame, leave the White House
in thirty days after the investigation
J had begun"

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

Special Correspondence to The Republican.
WASHINGTON. D. c., June IA, 1881.
The New York Legislature, strange
to say, has not followed the advice
given it by your correspondent last
week. They are still balloting at
Albany, and beyond the rather dis
graceful charges of bribery preferred
by the ''Stalwarts" against the 'Half
Breeds" and the concentration of the
anti-Conkling men upon Chauncey
NJ. Depew for the long term, the sit
uation remains unchanged. The
friends of Mr.. Depew, however,
claim that he will be elected to one
of the vacancies this week.
General Grant will be in New York
this week. Though it is known that
he will not enter actively into the
contest, he will by the fact of his
presence and earnest friendship for
and support of Mr.. Conkling, do all
he can to aid him. Since he has
arrived within tn range of reporters,
the General has expressed himself
emphatically against the President
and the colleagues of Mr.. Conkling
in the Senate. TO use his own term,
Mr.. Conk ling has been treated "out-
rageously."
In relation to the business which
called the General to Mexico, he says
he obtained all he asked for. He
says that articles published in the
Chicago papers, limiting at annexa-
ton, caused him some trouble. But
that he went before the Mexican
Congress, and, in short speech, told
them what he wanted, and they
granted his wishes at once. The rail-
road-the object of his visits to be
seven hundred miles long, running
from the city of Mexico to the Pacific,
in the United States. 1t will be a
great advantage in developing the
resources of both countries. The road
must be completed in ten years. but
in all probability it will be finished
in three. The General will spend the
summer in this country, returning to
Mexico next winter.

Fleeing CONSERVATION.
LOGAN.

Three thousand immigrants arrived
at Now York on recent Sunday
night. This number is rather mod
crate. During month they arrive
to the tune of sixty or seventy thous-
and. Three-quarters of a million an
nually appears to be the number that
may be calculated upon with con-
siderable degree of certainty. Bis
marck's efforts to stem this threaten
ing current, which is depopulating
certain sections of Germany, do not
seem to effect that purpose. And it
is not alone Germany which IS thus
pouring its population upon our
shores. Although some of its dis
tricts are almost depopulated, some
other sections of Europe appear far
ing no better. Undoubtedly many
of these people, who thus turn their
backs upon their fathers halls and
their native land, do so because they
know that they can occupy broader
lands and enjoy greater freedom on
this Western continent and have OPP
portunities to better their fortunes in
the matter of accommodating wealth.
With others, and doubtless with
many, a very influential cause is Il
desire to escape the enforced service
in the army, whether in peace or war,
with possibilities OF the latter at any
time. The European system of the
present day-armed neutrality has
no certainty of continuance. A
blunder, a mistake, an overt act like
that of France in the Tunisan affair,
may at any day involve the nations
in war and set the millions of armed
men in motion. No one can be
blamed for desiring to escape from a
condition such as that.
