SENATOR CoNKLING finding that he
could not have his own way in regard
to the nominations for New York offices
concluded to smash things, and conse-
quently sent to the governor of New
York his resignation on Monday last.
Mr.. Platt, who seems to be Conkling's
boy, Joined him in his action and also
resigned, so that State is not now repre-
sented in the Senate. They are both
candidates for re- election, and claim if
they are elected it will be terrible re-
buke to the administration and an en-
dorsement of their action.
The Nation existed before Conkling
was born and the country will probably
manage to get along even if he should
not be sent back to the Senate. In fact
party or country that could be de.
stroyed by the loss of one man, would
hardly be worth saving.
Some of these gentlemen claim that
the President has not kept the pledges
he made before his election. They take
good care however not to make the
assertion that any pledges were made
them, for to do so, would be confession
that they had helped to elect the ticket
only because of these promises, or in
other words they would confess they had
been bribed, instead of acting from patri-
otto motives. Now which of these men
who are bowling about violated pledges,
will announce that he aided in the cam
paign only in consideration of certain
promises. 1t would be good thing for
either party to be able to know whose
services are to be had only on such
terms.

A person was arrested in Altoona on
Thursday last for uttering forged money
orders purporting to have been issued
from Liverpool, Ohio. When searched
he was found to have orders as follows:
Six orders purporting to have been issu-
ed at East Liverpool, Ohio, for $50 each
and made payable at Petersburg, Pa.
Six purporting to have been issued at the
same place, payable at Tyrone six pay
able at Huntingdon, six at Lewistown,
six at Millerstown, six at Newport, six
at Duncannon, six at Marysville, six at
Harrisburg, six at Middletown, six at
Mount JOY, six at Lancaster, six at Bryn
Mawr, six at Coatsville, six at Parkes-
burg. For the State of New Jersey there
were found six orders each prepared for
Camden, Trenton, New Brunswick,
Railway, Elizabeth, Newark and Jersey
City. For New York State, Coles had
made out six orders each for the follow
ing places: New Rochelle and Port
Chester. He expected to dupe Connecti-
cut postmasters in the following places
for six orders apiece: Hartford, New
Haven, Bridgeport, South Norwalk,
Stamford and Wallingford, while for the
State of Massachusetts, the forger had
arranged to gather in $50 per order on

The Star Route Discoveries.

A Washington despatch says: The
Postmaster General has discovered, since
taking charge of the department, that
many valuable papers, which ought to
be on file in the offices of the Second
Assistant Postmaster General, are miss
ing. Among those which cannot be
found are reports made by special agents
in relation to some of the routes held by
the rings and manipulated for their
benefit. Many of these reports severely
criticised the routes and the increased
and expedited service upon them, and
threw much light upon the rings
methods. In most cases the agents
retained copies of these reports, and
some of these copies have recently been
secured by the department. Brady COM
pletely controlled his division. No one
can tell how many interesting docu-
ments Mr.. Brady regarded as unneces-
sary for the files. 1t is believed that the
rings are relying upon the expected
indignation of the people who have been
served, or partly served, by their routes.
They hope that this indignation will be
manifested wherever service may be
reduced or cut off, and manifested 30
strongly that it will produce a sentiment
in their favor. There are indications
that some of the contractors are hard at
work endeavoring to prejudice the peo-
pie in their vicinity against the Post
master General and his undertaking.

A Dangerous Female.

Saturday morning about 10 o'clock,
Daniel Densler, boy about sixteen
years of age, residing on Maple street,
York, was shot by Miss Lucy Hyde, on
the public road near the Codorus paper
mills. 1t appears that young Densler
was crossing Miss Hyde's field and was
ordered off, which he did, and while
attempting to mount Mr.. Lentz's wagon
on the road he was shot by the lady in
the calf of his leg, at least forty shot
penetrating it. Justice Myers, of the
Ninth ward, issued a warrant for the
arrest of Miss Hyde, on oath of the
father, charging her with maliciously
shooting his son Daniel. Officer Ginter.
when attempting to serve the warrant
was met at the Hyde residence by the
same woman pointing a gun at him
from Che window, telling him to keep
OFT or else she would shoot him as she
did the boy. The officer afterwards
made arrangements with Miss Hyde's
brother who promised to bring his sister
to York when the matter will he inves.
tigated and bail entered to answer the
charge ut court.

OXFORD, May 16.-A very daring high
way robbery was committed upon the
person of Constable William S. Quigley,
who is also the Collector of Taxes for
East Nottingham township. Mr.. Quig-

lections, and had in his possession 1854
of taxes, which he intended to pay over
the next day to the School Board. When
within about two hundred yards of his
house, it being about 8 o'clock in the
evening, he was met by three men, one
of whom suddenly stopped and seized
hold of his horse. Mr.. Quigley drew his
revolver and ordered the men to let 90.
He had no time to act further, for the
other two highwaymen sprang upon
him, and one gathered handful of dirt
in the road and threw it into his ewes
he was then dragged out of his vehicle
and beaten over the head and rendered
insensible. The robbers then took his
pocketbook and revolver. The thieves
had hardly escaped before neighbor
