THINGS cHANGEl In 1876, and
again in 1880, Conkling prevented the
nomination of Blaine for President
and exulted in his power to do so.
Now, Blaine is the right bower of
the Administration, and the devoted
friends Of Conkling upon whom he re-
lies to maintain his power of dictator,
are ordered to the rear by Blaine, as
the first step to extract the fangs of his
impcrious and malignant opponent.
The fight is already assuming interest
ing significance, and we greatly over
rate the ability and vim of Garfeld's
Premier if, with the hand he holds,
he comes off second best in the encoun-
ter which is sure to come between
these two great leaders Of the Repub-
lican factions. The nomination Of
Robertson as Collector of Customs at
New York is exceedingly distasteful
to Conkling. and upon the question
Of his confirmation b. the Senate, the
hostile factions will come in active
conflict.

MALONE had his say in the Senate
last Monday, and sorry say it was.
He bored the Senate and galleries for
four mortal hours, with a dull, prosy
speech in explanation of his course
and utterly failed to convince any
one of the purity of his motives or the
honesty of his course. The corrupt
bargain and sale which has led him
into the Republican ranks cannot be
explained away.

THE Democrats might possibly con.
troll the next House of Representa-.
tives at Washington by trade with
the Greenbackers such as was made
by the Republicans of the United

But we hope nothing of the kind will
be attempted. We fully agree with
the Philadelphia Record that IAN hon.

THE STATE CAPITAL.
LEGISLATIVE BEAR GSRDES-ATTORSEY
GENERAL PALSER's OPINION on THE
SALARY QUESTIOS-ISDIGNAST
NEABEEs.

HARRISBURG, Pa, March %, 1881.
The place of the Pennsylvania Legis.
lature in history Was assured years ago
and the present body has done nothing
calculated to disturb the well earned
contempt in which its predecessors are
justly held. 1t is, perhaps, well that
only an iniinitesimal proportion Of the
people of this Commonwealth ever visit
the State Capital while their represcn
tatiyes are engaged in the task OF en-.
grating upon the statute books the
laws under which they live. Distance,
in this case undoubtedly brings the
gentlemen of the legislature under soft.
er light and more subducd colors. but
disenchantmcnt, swift and sure follows
personal observation Of this august a..
sembly. That great State like Penn
sylyania, with her wealth, her culture
and intelligence should be cursed in her
law making body with the incompctcn.
cy, ignorance, immortality and whole.
sale debauchcry which characterizcs the
+ present Legislature, is a biting satire
upon popular elections and a discourng.

lTis now announced apparently upon
good authority tha; President Garfield
will not call an extra.sezsiOn of Con.
gress-at least not before next Octo-
ber The only member of the cabi.
net who earnestly favored an immedi-
ate extra.scssion was Secretary Blaine,
aud he seems to have been ovcrrulcd.
Besides a strong belief that it was ab-
solutely necessary for the Republicans
to do something to rectify the foolish
blunder made by Hayes in vetoing the
funding bill that passed in the clos
ing days of the late session, it is init.
mated that Blaine had some ulterior
political purposes personal to himself
in view, which b. thought might he
advanced by an extra.session. He
will, however. be obliged to bide his
time. 1t is also understood that the
influences that carried the most weight
with the President in determining this
question was tha: of the National
bankers, who desire to retain the pres.
ent rate of interest on their bonds and
are consequently opposed to the pass
age of new funding measure. This
may be satisfactory reason to the
President why no extra session should
be called but large portion Of the
public will regard it as another act Of
subserviency to the National banking
institutions of the country. After fail
ing to bulldoze Congress, the banks
had reason to rejoice over the triumph
that Hayes gave them through the use
of the veto power. 1t would now ap.
pear that they have an equally obe-
dent agent in Garfield.

racy hangs on to government by Il

The Washington correspondent OF
the Philadelphia Star, Mr.. J. X.
Young, writing in a late letter Of the
business that is n; present engaging
the attention of the United States Sen.
ate, pays a handsome compliment to
a number of the Democratic Senators
who retired from that body on the eth
Of March. His reference to the Hon.
w. 4. Wallace is especially compli.
mentary, as will be seen by the follow
ing extract:
This weeks event in the Senate
show hos much that body misses such
men as Thurman, Wallace, Mcdonald
and Pinckney Whyte. One could easily
see that Biysrd was disRusted, and so,
too, was IL the case with Lamar. These
two are born leaders. and are conserva.
tive, both by nature and from training.
but they will not lead, not caring. I
suppose. to incur, the petty annoyances
that they would surely be subjected to
were they TO cross the purposes Of the
majority Of their party. Pcndleton
shows good qualities for leadership
when the seas are calm, but he is not
the man for an emergency. lie takes
Wallace's place ss chairman of the
Democratic senatorial caucus. By the
way. Wallace has not left the city. No
man left the Senate with greater re.
spect entertained for him as 90 his quail
i,es as n gentleman, his attainments as
a legislator, and hts ability as a man.
In his six years of service. while he
took prominent part in all of The im
portant questions before the body. and
was always positive in his party fealiy,
he made no enemies and constantly
maintained the respect OF all. And so
far as Pennsylvania is concerned, she
never had man in the Senate truer TO
her interests"

The Legislature and it's Duty.

1t is to be hoped the Legislature
will not be tumhled into dire confu-
sion by the innocent petard thrown
by Attorney General Palmer among
its array of delicate shins, but on the
contrary, will take the explosion as
harmless and gentle hint, and come
down at once to hard pan of duty and
begin to legislate. The opinion of
the Attorney General, be it sound or
unsound law, aud although not bind
ing on the legislature, is nevertheless
n suggestion to "makc hay whilst the
sun shines If that august body has
seen fit and proper to waste three
months in wind ana vapor, the people
must not suffer. The necessary legis-
lation must be enacted though the
