Eis Imperial Wrath with. Garfield and
Friendship for ConIling.
CHICAGO, June 13.
General Grant, accompanied by Mrs.
Grant, Fred Grant and his wife and Miss
Sharpe, arrived here yesterday morning.
Owing to the poor health of Mrs. Grant,
the general will remain until "Wednesday,
when he will proceed directly to New
York. Toa Morning Mcws represente i've
he said: II havo accomplished the pur
pose for which went to Mexico, having
obtained all that ] went for without any
great difficulty, despite the attempts Of
certain newspapers and persons TO create
opposition through talk of annexation,
ETC., etc. The articles were published
by the Chicago papers and copied into
those of Mexico, and ut first aroused q
little opposition, but went before con-
gress and in o short speech told them
what TGnted, and they gave me my
charter st once. No charter wa: ever
before issued in go short time. The
road will be in all about 700 miles long,
running from the City of Mexico
through Pueblo TO the Pacific coast,
while another branch must go down t0
the gulf 1t will be OF great benefit to
Mexico in developing the resources Of
that country and to the United States.
The charter provides for the completion
of the road In ten yeaia, but in all proba-
bility it will be finished inside Of three
years. -Four surveying parties are
already at work. / shall very likely re-.
turn there next winter.
In regard to the situation Of affairs in
Albany, Mr.. Grant said: !'G @

the manner in which, Conkling has been
treated By the president and 6y his COL
leagues in the senate / will tell you
without any hesitancy. I think it is
most !. outrageous, and if You want to
know where stand 10 the present con-
test, will tell you that am with Cunk-
ling and Plat. Conkling is my friend.
He has been q warm supporter of mine,
but for oil that do not owe him near so
much to-day as Garfield. 1t 10 true

November. Without New York Sla.e
Garfield could not have been elected, and
without ConkliSg New York State
would not have gone republican. When
ever the State has gone republican in the
paat years the cause could be traced to
QonkIing and hia nerannnl Efforts
Wheu / say that Garfield owes moro to
CeDkiing than do, do not mean to
under Estimate the obligations that I am
under 20 him, but wac elected once
withnut the State of New York, and when
it did go for ine would have been
elected without 1t. When Conkliug
went to Warren ep6 commenced his Wig
nruns campaign for the republican party,
Garfield matters looked very serious. A
defeat was almost certain. Il was then
and then only that theSrepublicaus took
heart, and from that time on the battle
turned. Conkling went into the cam.
paign because he ysas q republican,, and
because he desired the success OF his
party, not because Of any trade he had
made with Garfield. It was In accord
Euce With resolutions which he had offer.

declared that Ii wan nominated they

treaty of which we have heard 80 much
there was not o word Of truth in the sem

concerning what occurred during our
visit. We vera In the State apeak:nr,
and in compliance with Mr.. Garneld'a
oft repeated reque5ta determined TO call
ut Mentor, rs il could be done without
putting us much out of our way. Conk-
ling said that he would go with me.
Arriving ct Garfield's house we found. a
crowd of people there, probably i5O In

anything that those around uA could not
hear. ALL this talk about sbe Mentor
treaty is mere nonsense. ] have no
doubt but that when CoDkiing resigned,
he Gid go with the intention Of keeping
ont of politics and ous of the senate. and
! think DO acted wisely. He war saink

affairs; be had besn insulted by the
president and sligh,ed by the senate.
There is or should be a great deal III
senatorial courtesy which means amply
this, that when tho president tnAlkes an
appointment In any State and fails 70
elicit the approval oe tho two senetors
from that Stats the matter ends there aud
the nomination reieCied. If the sepuhs
ilcan senators from any State object to any
nomination the Test of tho party "a
