He Announces that He IN Ready To
Defeat RObertsOn's Nomination.
WASHINGTON, April 26.-Mr. Conk~
ling was quite active on the floor of the
Senate to-day. His first move was to
Democratic side. Mr.. Bayard, Mr..
Lamar and Mr.. Butler were unfor'
tunately absent at the time. Then he
devoted himself to the Republicans,
particularly to Mr.. Anthony, Mr..
Platt, of Connecticut, and his COL
league, Mr.. Platt. He was particu-
larly earnest with the two first named,
and the last named subsequently had
talk of an hour or more with Ma
hone. Mr.. Conkling said tonight
that he was now prepared to deal with
the Robertson nomination, and the
sooner the contest came the better.
He claims 10 have assurances of suffi-
cient support to reject Mr.. Robertson.
Whether this is mere Boosting or not
cannot be learned, for Mr.. Frye's
SPEECH certainly hurt the Administers
ton. If it was Boosting it was done
very close TO a Republican caucus,
which has been called for 10 o'clock in
the morning, and at which it is be-
lieved it will be decided to allow ex-
ecutive sessions. In case Of executive
sessions, Mr.. Conkling will soon
enough have a chance to bring out his
forces, but until an executive session
has been had it will be difficult to de-
termine just what he will be able to
do. Mr.. Edmunds started for home
this afternoon, intending to remain
until fall, unless called here by public
business.

Work Of Cleansing them being
Pushed Rapidly Forward.
Street Commissioner Lynch stopp-
ed a representative OF the GAZETTE
this morning with the remark
"Well, what do you think OF the
streets now p The reply was: that
they were looking somewhat clean
err. Continuing Mr.. Lynch said that
he was putting every effort to have
them cleaned as rapidly as possible.
lie was we'll aware OF the fact that
they had been in a bad condition for
some time past, but that was owing
altogether to the exceptionally hard
winter. 1t had been impossible to
put a force of workmen on the
streets for at least four months, and
during that time a vast amount oil
dirt had accumulated. Within the
past two weeks all the streets on
the east side of Market street had
been gone over, and the dirt re-
moved. A large portion of the dirt
on the streets, said Mr.. Lynch, was
owing to the neglect Of the garbage
contractors in performing their
work. They had been SO negligent
that the citizens after having waited
reasonable length of time for
their appearance had thrown the
garbage III the streets. A sufficient
force Of workmen will now be kept
continually at work to remove the
debris.

Regard TO AlnshOuse Removed.
At the annual meeting of the Trustees
of the poor to-day, DR.. Springer, Physi-
clan In charge of the smallpox hospital,
reported that during the past three
months "a persons had been admitted TO
the hospital, .of which number three did
not have the disease. Of the 81 cases, :
were white adults 2 white children, ~
black adults and IA black children.
OF the eight who died all were black
excepting one man.
The dea'h rate has been one in seven,
which is the usual average OF the disease.
of those admitted forty -four we're from
Wilmington. DIR. Springer's report
highly compliments Charles Fisher,
Superintendent of The hospital for his
efficiency.
During the meeting the following
resolutions were offered by Trustee
Jas. ii. Ray was unanlm ously adopted ::
WHEREAS, The present buil lungs for
the Insane Of the county are greatly III
ferior tn the rapidly growing neodsof-
those unfortunate poor, ami II 10 absolute
ly necessary at once to provide Tor in-
creased and better Accommodations tot

WHEREAS, 1t is advisable aud neces-
sary to the health of It's ciuzons that tue
sma l-pox hospital should DO more re-
mote from Wilmington; and
| WHEREAS, There is need OF better
and more enlarged accommodations toi
the continually increasing peor OF the

WHEREAS, The real estate in the
II al .t.aer nm h. A ltUas
house property on which the aims
| house, insane building anu small
| pox hospital are now erected, has, by
reason OF the growth II the city,
become exceedingly valuable, 30 that, IN
| the opinion OF lnls Board IL could be sold
for II sum sufficient TO purchase real es-
| tate In the county, remote from anu out
side of the city OF Wilmington, and erect
| thereon more suita lie, desirable and con-
| venient buildings, ana better adapted for
| the accommodation o. the insane and u q
poor OF the county, and Of those persons

COLUMBIA, 8. G., is increasing its
cotton trade at gratifying rate.
The receipts for the cotton year OF
1877 aggregated IL 1857 bales, since
which there has been yearly in
crease. So far this year the receipts
have been 80 1881 bales, which it is
expected will run up to 33 900 bales
before the close of the cotton year.
This represents money value OF al
least 81 100000.
THE returns thus far published OF
the recent municipal elections in Hill
nois show that the women won some
notable triumphs, which are perhaps
the omens OF greater and more i'm
portant victories in the future. The
question of temperance was a leading
one in the canvass, and, as may be
expected, the fair Illineisans were on
the side of the prohibitionists. The
enthusiasm with which they worked
the numbers in which they turned out
showed The keen interest they took in
the subject. In one little town one
thousand ladies appeared at the polls
and succeeded in electing three out Of
fourteen Aldermen. At Mount Yer
non all their candidates were elected
by majority of Eve hundred, and il
other portions of the State their efforts
were crowned with more or less sue
cess. This is a good beginning of the
female suffrage experiment in the
West.
