said that the anti slavery movement in
America commenced by offers of COM
pensation to slave owners, but that
slavery was washed away in blood. The
people, he said, should make it impos-
sible for the landlords to collect rents.

Chieaso Press oplnlons.

Chicago, May 1.-THE Tribune says:
,Conkling isnot man to take desperate
chances. He resigns, not to the people
or the republican party of New York,
but t. caucus of his personal follow
ers, whose allegiance and fidelity he has
tested. His letter fails to justify this
proceeding, and is a piece of consum-
mate egotism. 1t is as insulting and
meanly insinuating as its author could
make it, and no man can read it with
out instinctively applauding the presi-
dent for his refusal to comply with the
demand for the withdrawal of Robert
son. His attempt to blacken Robert
son is equally disreputable. After six
weeks Of vain endeavor to bully and beg
the senate to aid him in the defeat of
Robertson, he now threatens the repub-
lican party with defeat and demands of
the New York legislature that they re-
elect him to return and embarrass the
president and republican party.
The Inter Ocean says: The resigna-
tion was not for the purpose of gaining
technical advantage. but was simply the
act Of two men who found themselves
misrepresented, maligned, and to q
certain extent abandoned by the party
they had long and faithfully served, and
Who preferred private life to humilia.

they had helped to inaugurate. Is
Robertson-a third rate politician
worthy of the price paid for his official
position?
Upon the political sensation of the
day the Times says: Conkling has as.
serted his primaey; has notified the
country that he considers himself
larger and politically more important
than. the president, and on this declara-
tion of himself has ''gone to the coun-
try" taking with him his assistant,
Mr.. Platt. While he doubtless antici-
pates reelection, this is not a foregone
conclusion, and may easily miscarry.
He may, however, realize that he is
politically ruined, and being conscious
that there is nothing more to lose, may
seek to involve the president and ad-
ministration in his own mire. What
ever the motive of his resignation. it is
a confession of his weakness and defeat
and of Garfeld's strength and success.
The papers all abound in interviews
with men of recognized standing, who
for the most part believe the resigEa-
tions were uncalled for They are
gratified because they generally regard
it as betokening rift in the party.

No ElectIon Probable.

Albany, May 1.-THE opinion is
growing that the senate will refuse to
go into election of United States sena-
tors, and will leave the choice to the
next legislature. Some senators say
they think the question as to whether
the resigning senator's should be re-
turned and their conduct thus be ap-
proved, is one which the people should
have an opportunity to pass upon.
A report is current in New York that
Conkling's friends will call meeting
at the Academyof Music to endorse his
course. The i-Conkllng republicans
threaten monster demonstration in
favor OF the administration if this is
done

New York, May 1.-THE SUMS
Washington special says of the caucus
proceedings, that while few senators
thought it might be indecorous to act
on the New York nominations while
the New York senators were absent, a
majority took the view that neither
they nor the president were responsible
for their absence. There was only one
man who supported Conkling's course
openly, and that was Jones, of Nevada.
He supported him in his position en-
tirely and cordially, and made very
severe criticisms on Garfield 81 action,
which he denounced as treacherous and
unfair.

Lawrence, Kan, May l7.-Mr. John
Walruff who lost $4,000 through the
prohibitory law of Kansas, has secured
from the Brewers committee of Chica-
go, aid to the amount of 5000, if
necessary, to test in the United States
courts the validity Of that law. The
papers are already made out. If the
right of the state to enact sumptuary
laws includes the right to destroy pri-
vate property without compensation,
the brewers propose to have the exact
limits Of the authority defined by the
tribunal of last resort.

New York, May 1k-The metropoli-
tan Journals have entirely given up this
morning to the Conkling and Platt
resignations. Press comments are pub
lished from all parts Of the country. It
is generally believed by friends and
foes alike. that the senators have made
mistake and acted like school boys.
The Times says; In this city the most
common sentiment was irnpatience and
disgust that the state should have been
made the laughing stock Of the country
by the childlike display Of temper on
the part Of its senator's. Some effect
was anticipated on the sensitive feeling

Washington, May 17.-In the senate
to-day, after the reading of the journal,
Davis, of West Virginia, inquired
ironically of Dawes whether he was
not now ready to accede to the consid-
eration.of the resolution for the election
of senate officers.
Dawes replied that whenever a ma
jority of the senate should decide on
that resolution he would bow to it. He
would not be found resisting the will
of the senate itself. II the senator
from West Virginia had become, from
an accidental occurrence on the repub.
lican side, ready to submit to the will
of the majority, because he believed
there was a majority ON his side, he
| (Dawes) had not word to say.
Davis said he was glad the senator
from Massachusetts was willing to pro.
coed with the pending business which
he had been SO anxious to go ON with
during the past month.
Dawes regretted that the senator was
ambitious to expose the ground Oh
which he stood. One would suppose
when United States senator took his
position SO Inconsistent radically will
the fundamental principles Of the gov
ernment, that the majority would do as
he would, he would not be ambitious
to uncover himself TO the American
people. " AZ q y

wish to force the matter.

All the senators believe that Conkling
intends to be reelected, though some
suggest that he may find it harder to
get back than he supposed. The ac-
tion of the New York senate in ad-
iourning before receiving notification of
the designations, is regarded as unfa-
vorable to Conkling, as it postpones
the election another week. The senate
will doubtless adjourn this week.

How IL is Looked upon I'm Wash
ington.


Washington, May 1.-THE issue
raised by Senator Conkling is false
one. The president does not question
the right of senators to advise and con-
sent to or reject Robertson's con6rma-
tion by the regular constitutional
method. acting in their place under
constitutional responsibility. Conk-
ling's sole grievance is that the presi-
dent would not submit to his individual
and unofficial advice, and forego the
executives own right and duty to ask
the senate's combined judgement upon
the nominations as he considers fit and
for public interest. The arrogant at
tempt at usurpation is i'll on the part of
Conkling, as everybody sees, except a
very few who are blinded by extreme
partisan friendship for and self-degrad-
ing toadyism to Conkling. 1t Is by no
means certain that the resigning sena-
tors can be reelected. Their reliance
is on the ability Of their friends in the
present legislature to compel their re-
election as an alternative, or the non
representation of New York or choice
of democratic successors.
1t is very doubtful whether the ma
jority Of the state senate will feel that
the extinction of the Conkling tyranny
is dearly bought at the cost of tempo
rary defeat of the republican party.
They believe its present question is
whether the primary or the party shall
live, and if only the bossism is killed,
they think the party will be much
stronger three years hence than it is
now. They say that Conkling and
Platt are now the leaders of the rebel
lion, and that the treason must be de-
feated at any present cost, as the means
Of even getting united party based on
principle.
1t ID notorious that every important
appointment made in Maine by Hayes,
was opposed by both Blaine and Ham,
lin, but neither of them even tagged in
their loyalty to the party or played their
game Of spoiled children, but Conkling
fired Grant TO abandon the civil service
rules as q condition of his friendship,
and he thought that he had only to
play his bluff game with. sufficient bold.
ness to bring Garfield to his feet. The
latter, however, with his large political
experience, is sustained by self-confi.
dence, such as Grant naturally lacked
at the beginning of his first term. Il
the senate rejects Robertson, the presi.
dent will not resign, but he will insist
on having the senate's Official advice
upon that and every other nomination
which he considers ct to be made.
Tho country will admire and sustain
his calm self-respect and pluck. 1,
was because Conkling saw that Robert.
son would be confirmed if voted upor
at all. that he resigned. The fact that
be cannot control the. senate is conclu
sive evidence that his party friends ar,
not with him in this latest outcome o
his inordinate tyranny and vanity.

1t is stated that while the Presby-
terians have twice as many members as
the Episcopalians, three times as many
infants are baptized by the latter as by

-Twenty-four thousand lay members
of the Church of England have signed

of the Romish mass, or any colorado
imitation thereof, any reintroduction of
the confessional, or any assumption of
sacredotal pretensions on the part of
the clergy, in the ministration of the
word and sacraments. The Archbishop
of Canterbury in acknowledging the re-
ceipt of this protest calls it " an i'm

it his serious consideration.

In Clean Belize.

Belize, the capital of British Hondu-
ras, is one of the cleanest cities, if not
the very cleanest, of Gods foot-stool.
For my part, | have never yet seen
another town so clean and spruce, or one
that presented such a neat appearance.
Its streets are level and are in admira-
BILE order, the center of them for about
twelve or fifteen feet being macad-
amized with calcareous rock, which is
broken fine by the long-term convicts,
who are not permitted to leave the
prison-yard. These streets are cleaned
and kept in repair by the convicts of the
common jail, several gangs of whom
may be seen at any time during the day
working in the different quarters of the
city. They are well fed and are not
overworked, while they are never ill
treated or abused. One policeman is
enough to watch gang of six or eight
of these unfortunates. The convicts of
Belize are almost all negroes-mis-
called Caribs. There are some few
half-castes or descendants of Spaniards
and Indians among them, though very
few. L never saw a white convict on
the streets, nor did | when l visited the
jail. N. 0. Democrat.
