the Anti Conkling Collapse.
On. Y. Herald J


The prediction of our Albany correspon-
dent, which We printed yesterday. has
been verified, In spite OF their confident
boasts the anti-OonkIing faction in the
Legislature could muster 80 few votes for
Skinner that they burst not make them
selves ridiculous by exposing their weak
ness. With courage like that of Bob
Acres. the kind of courage which deems
discretion the better part of valcr, they
withdrew their candidate and gave the
victorious General Sharpe the honor of
unanimous nomination tor the Speaker
ship.
1t is curious spectacle that these pc
Htical swelis have exhibited at Albany for
the last three days. With a surprising
command of breath they RECALLED their
credoulus followers with tbs spectacle of
an enormous soap-bubble which, the
more they distended it, glittered all the
more with the hues of the rainbov-the
bright emblem of hope: but at the FIRST
touch OF reality it collapsed into q small

stated that the inauguration of Gov
Plaisted, in Maine, wouldsnot be objected
to-that there would be no attempt al

quite another story. Garfield is elected

What is more, the very same errors which
Gov. Garce!on declared should be counted

C1rR1o1Js REMINIsCENCEs.-How strange
it must seem to many of our readers to be
informed that the United States Court was
once occupied trying woman for the crime
of being a scold. The prisoner was the noto'
rious Ann Royal. She was tried at Wash
inpton in 1929, the following being an extract
from the indictment: "The said Ann did an
nov and disturb the good people of the Uni
ted States by her open, public and common
scolding to the common nuisance of the good
citizens of the United States and to the evil
example of others." The prisoners counsel
pleaded in her defence that the English stat
ute. which punished common scolds with
duckiap, was obsolete and hence the indict-
men. could not be maintained. Judge
Cranch, however, held that the offense was
not obsolete, and added that all correct legal
authorities decided that being common
scold to the nuisance Of the neigbborhood is
an indictabe offense. The judge thereupon
fined Mrs. Royal $40, and ordered her to give
security for good behavior and to stand COM
mitted until the aforementioned security
should be obtained. This is the only in
stance of the kind l have ever heard of in
the history of our country, and hence give
it as leg al curiosity. Another bit of antlq-
uity is found in the following extract from
army orders half century ago: cadet r.
E. Lee, promoted to brevet second lieutenant

any one have imagined the part which this
cadet was yet to play in the bloody work of
