What a Woman Gained.

A woman in NewburypOrt, Mass, in
losing one husband and gaining another, made q
profit of 5000. She was the wife of a soldier, and
believed herself widow, as her husband was re-
ported dead She entitled, a soldiers
widow, to pension, and for some years received
it. Then she concluded to take second husband,
and, in doing that, she of course had to give up
the pension money. But now the first husband
turns up alive and the result is that the sup
posed widows second marriage has been pro-
nounced null and void, and she gives up husband
No. 9 but is declared to be entitled to about 81 900
of arrearages of pension money, which would have
been paid TO her in place of her first husband, sup
posed to be dead, if she had remained in her sup
posed widowed state. She fares pretty well, any
how, had two husbands, and now, by surrendering
the new and rcSuming the old relation, she gets
back the first husband and his pension, and the
arrcarareS into the bargain.

L. Q. Washington was called to the chair, and
made feeling address A committee consisting
of Major Ben: Perley Poore, Mr.. George W. Adams,
General II. V. Boynton, Mr.. Fl. ]. Ramsdeli. and
Mr.. Walter P. Phillips was appointed to draft and
have engrossed and framed suitable resolutions to
the memory of the deceased Pail bearers on be-
half of the press were then chosen as follows Mr..
Crosby S. Noyes, of the EreniHg Star; Major NJ. W..
Barr, late of the New York Associated Press;
Colonel L. Q. Washington, of the New Orleans
PicayH1e and Mr.. D. c. Forney, of the Sunday

Five Forks and Warren.

On March 81 the battle Of Five Forks
was fought, which ended in the discontinue of
Lees army. 1t was during the progress of this
battle that General Warren was relieved from the
command Ofthe Fifth Corps. General Budeau en-
tiers into this question at length, 10 show that the
degradation of Warren from his high rank On the
field of battle was justified by his unfortunate
temperament. The intermnable delays Of Warren
on the 3lst of March so annoyed Grant that Gen
eral Badeau says: More than once in that long
night Grant thought of relieving him from COM
maud. Every plan was confused every maneuvre
complicated, every object endangered by his fail
ure TO move. The situation which Sheridan de-
scribed at three did not exist, solely because
Warren had not obeyed his orders; there would be
opportunity for the rebels to escape orthere might
be danger of the destruction of the cavalry solely
because Warren was not at the appointed place ut
the appointed time. .'-Badcau.S Life Of Grant. I

ADcrnocratic View of 1t.

The following is a Democratic view of
the Conklng- Robertson quarrel. 1t is from the
pen of eX- Governor Palmer of Illinois, and is pub
lshed in his paper, the Springfield Register:
Had Senator Conkling attempted to dictate TO the
President particular person for nomination had
the President refused TO be dictated to- had he then
sent in the of Robertson had COnking then op-
posed it, then the President would be wholly right and
Conkling wholly wrong. But such is not the case
Conkling did not attempt TO control the New
York .custom-house nomination, but the Presi-
dent, in collusiOn with Blaine and others OF the
strictly personal enemies of Conkling selected the
most implacabe enemy of the latter for no better
reason than that he COnklng's enemy. That Is
to say, RobertsOn's fitness for the position pre-
dicated on his opposition to COnkling It appears,
therefore, that the President declared war on the New
York trio i'll the Senate, and is bitterly reSentfn
that they not submissive. 1t is true there is a
breach in the ranks of the Republican party in New
York but has not been brought TO the Presidents
knowledge by any of the elements entering into the
operations of making and confirming n appointment
And now the President has capped the climax of his
error by attempting to punish COnkling by turning
out all of COnkling'S friends.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1881-05-17

Senators, and especially Senator Conk-
ling, up to public opprobrium as attempt
ing to dictate to the President, and as
aiming only at the distribution of the
spoils of office. The President has with
drawn the five nominations of per-
sons friendly to the Senator, and
through his organs has assigned as
the reason therefor that if Robertson
should be defeated he would need their
places as rewards for the place-hunters
who had, in his interest, betrayed their
trusts at Chicago. The Cincinnati Com
mercial, whose editor was fresh from the
kitchen Cabinet meetings, announced
that the vote of Senator Platt, of New
York, was regarded as worth bureau
Office, and that if it was not forthcoming
Mr.. Elmer, whose name was before the
Senate for such an Office, would be with
drawn. The New York Tribune an
nOunced in the most solemn manner,
through It's Washington correspondent,
that the vote of Senators on the confirma-
ton of Robertson would be regarded by
the President as test of personal as well
as of political friendliness These decla-
rations were made by men who were
known to be the familiars of the Presi-
dent. His own excited manner when
addressed upon the subject, the con-
temptuous terms used in his chosen news
paper organs, his questioning Senators as
to theirintentions, his reproachfulin inquiry
as to whether promise had not been
made him for vote for Robertson-all
these may seem to some to be in har-
mony with the proper independence of
each branch of the Government; but to
plain and unsophisticated people they
appear like medley of intimidation of
the Senate and of an unlawful solicita-
ton of the votes of Senators.
From all of which it appears that
Robertson was nominated for collector
at New York ostensibly to pay him for
political convention work Of most dis
reputable character, but really in order
that under his control the New York GUS
tom-house might be made q potent factor
in packing the next national convention
with delegates for the denomination of
the President. 1t does not now seem
probable that the scheme will work. The
fight between the Republican party of
New York and the bread and butter
brigade of the administration will not be
a close one.

The Crisis Met.

The Republican Senators have almost
as one man regretted, and most of them
have urged the withdrawal of the nom
ination of Robertson. They have been
met with the arrogance and obstinacy OF
a weak man adhering to wrong act. To
enable the State of New York to decide
for herself how her interests can best be
subserved in the Senate, Senators Conk-
ling and Platt have resigned their seats
in that body. She will now be able to
choose from among her eligible cit
liens two Senators, who will
come instructed as to her will.
New York is the peer of any other State.
She has been potent in the Senate under
all party dynasties. She does not 60
backward nor groyel in the dust at the
footStool of Executive power. Her motto
is " Excelsior" Her Senators will not
"advise" the President to make
an unworthy appointment, nor will
they basely consent" to one as
the price of official favor. In a
crisis like this, when an arbitrary de-
mand is made by the President for SEN
atorial submission ON a question which,
under the Constitution, Senators are to
decide on their oaths, unawed by power
and uninfuenced by rewards" the
Senators from New York have done
well to resist the Executive man
date, and to return their commits
sions to the power that bestowed them:
Next week their places will be filled.
The result will not depress the friends of
Stalwart Republicanism nor elate the oc-
cupant of the White House.
The new Senators will be instructed by
the very facts under which they will be
elected. They will not be creatures who
can be made to stand on their hind legs
at the White House entrance and
bark for the bones of Office
in the hands of a President OBJ
ivious of the limitations upon his
lawful power; but they will be men ear
nest of conviction, courageous of action,
and able to deal with every situation the
enemies of the Republican party and Of
constitutional government can create.

FEr. Grier,k Nomination.

Mr.. W. \. NJ. Grier, in these days Of not
altogether disintereSted statesmen, deserves good
word. He achieved fame as the original Garfield
man. who OH the second ballot at Chicago cast his
solitary vote for the man of Mentor, and remained
firm for him through all the subsequent balloting
until he had the proud satisfaction of seeing his
caDdi date made the choice of the convention. AS
an acknowledgment of his services the President
sent i'll his name for Third Assistant Postmaster
General, which honorable Office hIr. Grier has de-
clined, possibly because of disbelief in his fit
ness. His case is probably unique in American
history.-Hdrtford C0uram. Mr.. Grer wanted the

promised it by the President. He was nominated
as Third Assistant Postmaster General. That is the
long and short of it. Unique" isa new name for it ]
