C0nkling by Contrast.

Innriow weed IN the New York Tribune.
Contrasted with the course pursued
by another New York republican
statesman on two memorable occa-
sions, MIR. Conkling will find that
true courage and fidelity pay better
than mock heroism.
In 1S49, when General Taylor was
inangurated, two eminent New York
Wings We're presidential aspirants.
William III. Seward was in the SEN
ate, while Millard Fillmore was vice
president. During the canvass con-
fidential relations had grown up be-
tween the candidates for president
and vice-presidept; and on their ar
rival at Washington, General Taylor
conferred with Vice-President Fill
more about New York appoint
ments. Not only was Mr.. Hugh
Maxwell appointed Collector and
Zebedee Ring, Surveyor, but Messrs.
Hall and Haven, Mr.. Fillmore's law
partners, were appointed Judge and
District Attorney, and Mr.. Foote, a
Buffalo editor, to foreign mission.
Senator Seward, who had not been
consulted in relation to any of these
nominees, all of whom had been se-
lected from the wing of the party op-
posed TO him, instead OF resigning
his seat, voted for their confirmation.
General Taylor, however, soon dis
covered that he had Disseminated
uDjustly and in his subsequent ap-
pointments Senator Seward was not
only consulted, but confided in,
In 1860, when Mr.. Lincoln was in
augurated, Mr.. Seward passed from
the Senate Chamber to the State De-
partment. Immediately Hiram Bar
hey was appointed Collector, Rufus
S. Andrews, Surveyor, and George
Dennison, Naval Officer. In these
appointments the Secretary of State
was ignored. The republican party
in this state was then divided be-
tween radicals and conservatives, :,
Secretary Seward representing the
and Secretary Chase
the radical element. These appoint
ments were distasteful TO Governor
Seward, but instead of resigning he
devoted himself Zealously and cheer
fully to his duties. Mr.. Lincoln was
not long in discovering that he had
made great mistake, so that after
the first two months of his adminis-
tration the closest and kindest per-
sonal relations existed between the
president and his secretary of state
This contrast reveals, on the one
hand. an enlightened and patriotic
statesman, and on the other, domi.
neering and selfish politician.
While there is nothing to surprise
in, and nothing to hope from, ex-
Senator Conkling, the conduct of
Nice-President Arthur is SO utterly
inconsistent and in such strange con-
tiict with all his political anteccdents
as to astonish and bewilder his real
friends. Those who knew General
Arthur intimately for nearly twenty
years, as did, esteemed him SO high
ly as TO be greatly panied in finding
him using the high office bestowed
upon him by the republican party, in
protraeted efforts at Washington and
in Albany, first to deprive the Re-
publican party of its majority in the
United States Senate, and next to
DESTROY its ascendancy in the state of
New York. Dark indeed must be the
dplusion which thus beguiles and
mfsIesds man who labored SO long
and SO zealously to unite, harmonize
and strengthen the republican party.

TEXAS CREEK, Colo, July 26.
To the Editor of the RECORD.
Without wishing to reflect discred-
il upon the members of our state leg
islature, | wish TO call the attention
of the general public to what con-
slider defect in our loco bounty law,
as passed during the last session of
that honorable body. 1 think every,
citizen of the state is interested in
said law, and especially the tax-pay-
er. The law as it now stands COM
pels the digger of the weed to haul
it to the county seat, there to be in
spected by the county clerk. Now,
what sense is there in compelling a
man to haul useless, bulky weed
twenty, forty or sixty miles, there to
be inspected by a man that, in all
probability, could not tell bunch of
Colorado loco from a Missouri polk
stock. Why not empower the justices
of the peace in the voting precincts
to inspect, weigh and destroy the
loco, and then issue certificate of
such destruction, and said certificate
could be presented to the county
clerk, he to place the county seal
thereon, as the county clerk is, in a
great many cases, better acquainted
with the justices of his county than
he is with the loco. If / understand
the intention of the law it is to stin-
ulate the destruction of the loco,
which it fails to do, as do not know
of any man having dug any outside
of his own inclosure, and that he is
necessarily compelled to do in order
to protect his domestic animals, with
out any bounty. l know several
men that are digging it up and will
not haul 1T off the ranch but no one
is digging out on the commons on ac-
count of the useless transportation.
Thus the law, in its present form,
will be a considerable drain from the
state treasury and at the same time
fails in the object for which it was
framed. | speak from personal
knowledge of the working of the law.
If this is worth anything please
publish it and let us hear from some
more able pen, as the subject is of
great importance to stock raisers and
taxpayers. Hoping to hear from
some one on the subject, l subscribe
myself, LoCoED BAD.

HEAVY RAIN STORM.

a Boon to the Farmers and Gardeners.
Yesterday afternoon and evening Lan-
caster and vicinity was visited by . very
heavy and very welcome fall of rain. The
dirty streets were we'll swept by it, the.
cutters cleansed and the sewers thoroughly
flushed. Tho fields aud gardens which
had suffered from continued drought
were revived and beautified by the genial
moisture. Farmers who had been anx-
iOusly waiting for wet weather SO that
they might set out their tobacco plants at
once embraced the opportunity, and yes
torday and to-day hundreds of thousands
of plants were set out.
At some places during the storm there
was . fall of hail. In the vicinity of
ROhrerstown the rain fell in such torrents
that the plowed fields and roads arc badly
washed. The flood of water about 4
O'Clock entered the rolling mill and for q
time caused . suspension of operations.
The rain was accompanied by hail, which
damaged the growing crops to some ex-
tent, knocked off the young fruit and cut
up the young tobacco plants, but OH the
whole comparatively little damage is re-
ported.
The storm had the effect of greatly re-
ducins the uncomfortable high tempera
turs Of the atmosphere and rendering the
air pure, pleasant and fragrant.
A terrific thunder storm passed over the
northern part of Lebanon county, yester-
day afternoon. John Sarge, brickmaker
was killed while working in a field near
Jamestown.
Along the river below Columbia the rain
fell fur'Ously and did considerable damage
to the fields and along tho Columbia and
Port Deposit railroad. Near McCalls
Ferry there was a heavy slide of earth and
rock, which completely blocked up the
track. and prevented the passage Of trains
1t will take twenty-four hours at least, to
put the road in running order.
At Mount Nebo and vicinity the fall of
ram is said to have been the heaviest that
has fallen for several years, and tho rain
was accompanied by hail but the hail
stones were not large enough to materially
injure the crops.
At Quarryvillo also, there was very
heavy fall Of rain, accompanied by some
hail.
During the storm of yesterday afternoon
the lightning struck a large smoke stack
Oh the comb factory Of Dana Graham, on
West James, knocking hole Of consider
able size in it.

the REaLAlNs or WM.LIAM PENN.

One Of His Dsses.aa.es wants to se sent
to England 10P Then.
Some time ago the Pennsylvania Legs
lature adopted resolution to have the
remains Of WilliauRenn brought from
their resting place iR1ngland to America,
and, If necessary, to secure the co-opera-
ton Of the president in tho work. Phila-
delphia papers recently announced that
Gov. Hoyt had appointed George Lieb
Harrison, sugar merchant Of Philadel-
phia, to 60 TO England and bring
Penn's remains over to this c0tin-
try. Col. p. Penn Gaskell Hall,
United States army, of Gen. Hancock's
staff, said to New York Times reporter
last evening that he was the only lineal
descendant of William Penn in America.
On hearing of the appointment Of Mr..
Harrison he went to Philadelphia, where
he found a universal condemnation Of the
appointment. The most prominent men
in Philadelphia, and leading members Of
the society Of Friends," said the colonel,
volunteered tho expression of their Opin-
ion that If Penn's remains were to be
brought to this country at all it should

such an important mission. This view

leading men and societies of Philadelphia.

versant with their views) the only one
who would be acceptable to tho English
family. They would feel it a humiliation
and want of courtesy to the Penn family
abroad to have an utter stranger delegated
to such mission. That I know from actual
correspondence with the family. The gov
ernor of Pennsylvania. " continued Col.
Hall, "must have been ignorant Of tho
fact that lineal descendant of the founder
was prominent citizen OF the United
States. Otherwise little reflection would
have indicated that descendant as the
proper appOintee for an International mis-
sion of this character. The least that the
commonwealth of Pennsylvania can accord
to the lineal progeny of their illustriOus
founder is to place them in commission in
SO important an international courtesy as
that which at present exists between this
country and Great Britain.

The Press sympathizes with our diff
Guilty in appreciating the "independ-
ence" and prOgressiveness' of a polit-
ical adventurer whose independence
consists in a mercenary hunt for spoils
for himself and his camp followers, and
whose idea of progress is to get a proud
commonwealth to repudiate its honest
obligations to its creditors. We deem
ourselves more fortunate in not recog-
nizing the genuineness of this sort of in
dependence and progress than the Press
is, which must wear a peculiar kind of
glasses to see these in Malone, and
to ignore the real significance of his
movements in Virginia politics. His
"strength lies in the direction we have
indicated and no other and the Press
knows it. His anti -Bourbonism is his
opposition to the old-fashioned notions
of honesty, and if the Press sees fit to ap-
plaud the alleged thirty thousand Demo-
Gratis who follow him, nobody will suffer
but the Press and its party.

WLIelt.O

SLeuIs
In the expressive language of the street
Messrs. Conkling and Platt are badly
left" They seem to have quite over
reached themselves and their defeat is
very we'll assured. Their fate illustrates
that nothing is SO uncertain as political
events and that nothing succeeds like
success. The example Of the Penn
sylvania contest NO doubt stiffened the
independent Republicans OF New York.
They received greater encouragement,
however, from the promises OF the ad-
ministration to stand by them and the
ability which Mr.. Blaine has shown to
control the patronage to support and re-
ward those who stand by him in his war
with his old enemy. That he secretly
gave out his promises of this during the
deadlock in Pennsylvania is no longer
matter of confidence; and that it held
the deadlock fast is a matter Of easy
calculation. Mr.. Conkling or Mr..
Cameron dispensing the federal Offices is
a very different man in the eyes of the
average Republican place hunter from the
same individual shorn of his power of
patronage. There were a great many
fence men at Albany, who sat on the top
rail and balanced themselves neatly until
they saw that their votes would ensure
success or defeat for one side or the
other. Then they got down. With all
the ridicule cast upon David Davis for
his attitude in politics as seated on the
fencs-in greater danger from his pom
derOsity-he is much more independent
and honest than that class of partisans
who train with whichever wing can do
the most for them. Some of the men
who made the anti Cameron fight in this
state success were those who would
have scuttled the boat and struck for THE
FAMILY flagship, had there been danger
that the independent craft would not
have made the landing.
Mr.. Conkling's defeat is, however, one
thing and the election of his successor
another, His friends may be as stub
born as his enemies. There is no room
at Albany as there was at Harrisburg
for q compromise. Oliver had little
strength or opposition except as the
Cameron candidate. But in New York
it must he ant Cesar aut nihH with
COnkling and Platt. Their friends
cannot afford to let any other Republi-
can he elected. They cannot have one
of themselves taken and the other left.
Everything indicates the very proper
result that there will he no election until
the people elect new Legislature to
make the choice. There Mr.. COnkling
ought to seek his vindication and there
the Democratic majority of New York
state will have its chance.
