The Chicago Tribune says: II Mr.. Conk.
ling should obtain an election by means OF
coalition of bis Bucks and the Bourbons,
and should, as the price OF such bargain,
take back witt him TO the Senate Demo-
cratic colleague, he would, ipSo focto, be-
come q Democrat. Such a solution OF the
problem' how to desert to the enemy most
gracefully may well seem TO him and his
followers simple and alluring. There are
ifty-foUr Bourbons in the Legislature and
thir,y.tbrce Bucks. Eigbty-one votes are
required for IN election.
The Atlanta Constitution says: Does the
Hon. Montgomery Blair want the ticket to
be Tilden and Conkling. or Conkling and
1ilden-or vice and verses, as they say in
North Carolina?
Carl Schurz. in the New York Post, says !:
But we are sure scarcely one American citi-
zen in million will disagree with us when
we say that the part taken by Vicc.Presi-
dent Arthur in the senatorial contest at Al
bany is an offence against the dccencles OF

General Sherman said TO the West Point

The Philadelphia North american RE-
publican) says: We disdain to believe the
report that President Garfield has concluded
to aid the Virginia regulators with all the
influence Of the Administration. He knows
too we'll how complete a failure the Malone
movement will be, With its Democratic ele.
ment alienated from il by Republican inter-
ference, to care 10 identify himself with q
disreputable cause so certain OF defeat, and
he Is too shrewd a politician not to see the
effect which a recognition OF reputation by
the official head OF the Republican party
will have on the independent balance OF
voting power in the elections of this fall aud
next year. We predict now, and are pre-
pared 10 maintain 1t, that an open and active
participation by leading Republicans in the
Malone campaign this year will make the
Forty.eighth Congress Democratic in both
branches.

such order, but says that II Johnston " dis.
ooeyed any order to continue the struggle,

Hack.
A gentleman Just returned from Albany,
not IN any way connected with New York
politics, but who has extensive acquaintance
with Republican members OF the Lecisia-
Iture, says that the sfaIwsrts have another
reservation In store 10 the event that they
do not succeed to their satisfaction In estab-
fishing tho bribery charge against Sessions.
This reservation consists In summoning six
or eight OF the younger members OF the Lee
gislalure, particularly 10 the House, and ask.
Ing them whether or not they have not been
promised places In the cusiom.house. Tue
SiaIwarts, this gentleman says, claim to be
able to prove that places have been offered
10 very considerable number OF members
of the Legislature, aud that, II II shall be
necessary, these members viii testify TO II
and will vote for Conkling. None Of them
to this time have voted for ConkliDg. They
claim, OF course, to be able to trace the
promise directly to Robertson. The same
gentleman Is also advised that Mr.. PIatt
contemplated calling his friends together
and stating that he shall not be considered
candidate II by his withdrawal Copkling's
return TO the Senate could be made more
certain.

The Washington correspondent OF the

II is quite probable, judging from the ex.
pressions Of members OF Congress, that
some OF the star.route service discontinued
by the Postmaster. General will be restored
by order OF Congress when that body meets.
Letters received here mention that great
dissatisfaction is exhibited in sections of the

NIaas IL Ma,hias, Of Mannheim, Germany,
few days ago, but the exact terms are un~
known as yet, and trade here is much excited
OF the subject. Bids we're invited tor 15,000,-
600 Kilograms, equal to 1850 hogslleads:
Messrs. Abenlleim t. Co., Of New York,
agents for the successful bidders, say that
their cable adyices announce that the contract
was for 7,5o0,0o0 Kilograms only, or about
1900 hogsheads, but the firm WAS given
the privilege Of delivering few thousand
hoeshcads more, and was secured against
competition by conditions. No other contract
Is To be let this year. Other firms say that
the Italian Government would not have adj
yertised for y, $40 hogshea'ls if it wanted
ll.O00 only, and 10 Government that monol,-
oiizes the tobacco trade ever grants condi-
tioual contracts. Yoel. Rose l. Go. and &.
Rosens are said to lave received a cable dis
patch putin. the contract at 2l,00o hogs
heads without conditions or privileges. The
future prices of tobacco here aud III Ken
