OPPOSITION AT HOME.

Arranging for Mass Meeting ins New
York City to Denounce the Course of
oonkling.
New YORK, May IA paper has been cir
culated in the city by leading friends of Gen.
Garfield and Secretary Blaine calling for "a mass
meeting in the Academy of Music to protest
against the course pursued BY Conkling and
Patt as representatives Of this city and State in
endeavoring to discredit thej administration
and divide the Republican party, and subject 1t
to loss of rule and making patronage the sole
aim of service in the Senate. This paper,
which contains strong argument against
Senator Conkling's course, and approval of the
administration of President Garfield in
reforming abuses, etc, has been
signed by large number of
the foremost Republicans In the city, many
of whom contributed literally to the Republi-
can cause in the last campaign. It was in
tended to hold the meeting early this week,
but as at that time there seemed probability
that the nomination of Robertson would be
confirmed at once, the matter
was deferred. It is now proposed to publish
the call this week, unless there is action taken
at Washington tomorrow on Robertson's
case. John Jacob Astor, John A. Stewart,
L. M. Bates and other leading Republicans, it
is said, will take part.

A BRITISH GRowt.
LONDON, May 12.-The Pail Mall Gazette
says the circular of the French minister of
foreign affairs relative to the French expedi.
ton confirms the worst suspicious which it's
enemies entertained in regard to the insincer.
ity of the diplomatic assurance with which
she began the Tunisian campaign. France en-.
tered upon it for conquest and annexation.
She used the pretext Of suppressing border
raids to cover premeditated aggression upon
the territory Of her neighbor. The annexation
of Tunis endangers no British interest. Our
sole ground for concern is the effect it will
have on the future of the French republic and
the peace of the continent. From both views
the policy of France appears most unfortu-
nate.

"My Geraldine" Last Evening.

There was but small audience at the Opera
house last evening to witness the first per-
formance of S'My Geraldine" the new Irish
drama written by BARLEY Campbell. The
drama differs wholly from anything the author
has heretofore attempted, it being an invasion
of the domain heretofore occupied almost ex-
clusively by Dion Boucicault 1t is well con-

are typical of those found in all Irish dramas

both in the plot and dialogue, and the climaxes

rounds the fate of the principal characters
for time. 1t was played excellently through

IL, By q Scratch.

WASHING TON, May 12.-The entire execu-
tive session this afternoon was devoted TO the
further consideration of the nomination OF ex-
Senator Stanley Matthews appointment 1or
associate Justice of the supreme court. Inc
principal speakers to-day were Senator's Ed
munds, David Davis, Logan and Mcmillan, IN
opposition, and Senators Sherman, Pendleton
and Beck, in support of confirmation. Inc
debate was very similar to that
of yesterday, the speeches being to
a large extent elaborate arguments
advanced by the respective friends and oppo-
nents of the nomination, to the effect on one
side that Judge Matthews is eminently quail
fed for the supreme bench by his great legal
ability and personal integrity, and on the other
that his views concerning the constitutionality
of the Pacific railroad funding act, and simi-
lar questions, are such as might imperil the
stability of the last supreme court decisions
on those subjects, in the event of his confirm
alton, and that his appointment is objection
able for geographical reasons.
1t was also argued by Senator Edmunds to-
day that Judge Matthews ovation at the un-
vailing of the Thomes statue, which had
previously been criticized as fayoring central
ization of power in the federal government,
was in fact amendable to severe criticism, as
an enumeration of States-rights heresies.
At the end of the discourse vote was taken
on the question of confirmation, which
resulted yeas %, nays 81, SO the nomination
was confirmed. The affirmative and negative
vote was about equally divided between the
two political parties.
The closeness of this vote recalls to per-
sons familiar with the history of the supreme
court the fact that Justice Clifford was con-
flrmed in 1858 by majority of one. 1t is also
mentioned that when Gen. Jackson nominated
Roger B. Taney, after his service as secretary
of the treasury, to be associate
justice of the supreme court, his nomination
was held by the Senate several months till the
last day of the session, and then indefinitely
postponed, but when, after the death of Chief
Justice Marshall, Judge Taney was nominated
at the next session of the Senate to be chief
Justice, his nomination, although still op-
posed by Senator's Henry Clay and Daniel
Webster, was confirmed by a considerable ma
iority

A New and Valuable Metal Discovered by
an Ohio Man.

CINCINNATI, May 12.-Prof. W. Dudley, de-
livered an address tonight before the scientific
section of the Ohio Mechanics institute, in
which he made known an important discovery,
the process for fusing and moulding iridium,
a metal which has hitherto been practically
impossible, being forged to bars. John Hol-
land, of this city, who has long
used iridium for making points for gold pens,
is the discoverer. The discovery consists in
applying phosphorus when the ore is at a
white heat, and afterwards eliminating the
phosphorus by lime applied with great heat.
The new metal has the appearance Of steel, but
is much harder, being next in hardness to
ruby 1t will not rust and cannot be
injured by acids. Prof. Dudley
used with gratifying success in place Of
the negative carbon in the electric light. 1t
burned sixty hours without any loss in weight
or any perceptible change in form. Iridium
cannot be fashioned by hammering while hot,
nor can it be filed. 1t Is moulded.

H. H. Young, ESQ.,, Secretary Board of I'm.
migration, st. Paul, Minn.:
SIR: Your letter of the 28tb, ult. to the
mayor of this city, containing certain state
ments made by one II. Meyerding, to the effect
that immigrants were robbed and prosecuted
while passing through this city, was referred
to me. 1 have Investigated the matter referred
TO and beg to say in reply to your-letter that
the facts do not sustain the statements
made by Mr.. Meyerding. Immigrants are
charged 81 per day for board and lodging and
children half price. am informed that the
only cases where dollar meal was charged,
or said to have been charged, dollar in
Scandinavian money was meant, which is
nearly equal to twenty five cents in American
money.
If the gentleman who makes the statement
to your board knows as much as he pretends to
know, he should mention s'the certain board,
ing houses that he refers to, but he fails to
do so, although claiming s'to know of his own
knowledge" The immigrants are given proper
protection here, and if any proof is produced
that they have been treated as represented,
shall be pleased to have the guilty parties
punished. Respectfully yours,

In the Meshes of the Siren.

DR.. D. Unger, the discoverer of the chin
chona- rubra cure for drunkenness, and well
known hereabouts, has got into trouble in
Chicago. This time there are two women at
the bottom of it. 1t seems that the venerable
doctor was smitten with the charms of a
young woman who called herself Miss Alice
Dix, and visited her frequently at the house of
a Mrs. Wright, place Of questionable repute.
The intimacy between the two was maintained
for some time, but finally the doctor wearied
of his enchantress aud tried to shake her off,
But she would not be treated thus, and dogged
his footsteps everywhere, demanding and re-
ceiving money on many occasions
by threatening!a public exposure. In this
she was assisted by Mrs. Wright When
he refused to disgorge they would write him
threatening and insulting letters, and the up
shot of the matter was that he turned over a
goodly share of the contents of his pocket
book to their keeping. After enduring this
persecution for over year DR.. D'Unger had
the two women arrested on Monday on the
charge of extorting blackmail, and proposes
to prosecute them to the extent of the law.
He claims to have been beaten out of about
$1,000 in cash and to have been injured in his
business to ten times that amount The tes-
timony will no doubt prove entertaining to
those who reyel in the details of scandals
