The Senate of the United States ad-
journed last Friday, and political wrang-
ling has been transferred from Wash
ington to Albany, from which all excit-
ing news of political nature will come
until the New York Senatorial question
is disposed of. Almost anything start
ling may be expected, from the resigna-
ton of Vice President Arthur to the de-
sertion of Conkling to the democratic
party

During the first four or five days of
last week nine thousand two hundred
Immigrants arrived at Castle Garden and
41611 have arrived so far this month.
It's expected that the arrivals for the
month of May will exceed 10000, and
NAV exceed the arrivals during the entire
year of 1875 when they reached $4,000.
the arrivals thus far this year are l46,
SO2, more than double those of the year
1877.

THE UNHEALTHY WHTrEHoUsE.-The
White House is no more fit to live in
than pest-house. 1t is without ventila-
ton, its timbers are rotting, its foundations
are not good and its sewerage is criminal
" defective. In Lincoln's time even, it
was unhealthy, Tor did not poor little
Tad die there? Mrs. Patterson and Mrs.
Slower, the daughters of President John
son, were often sick and even Mr.. john
son was occasionally ill. We all remem-
Der how often General Grant was sick
there-probably it was malaria" that
allied him. Mrs. Grant escaped by liv-
ing at the seaside nearly half of the
year. The Hayes family was also sick
because they had to leave it. But serious
ly, the White House is not suitable for a
residence. Why should the President
attend to the business of his Office at his
residence any more than the Secretary
offs state or the Postmaster General? What
Is needed is an executive residence half a
mile or mile out of town "a mansion
becoming the Office the country and the
city. The White House could be used as
the executive officer. 1t is not to large
for state ceremonials and the officers of
the household. The family of the Presi-
dent cannot leave or enter the White
House without running the gauntlet of
lounging politicians and loafers who al

The yetean Thurlow Weed, who rarely
assumes wrong position in.political mat
tiers, and whose opinion on public matters
has immense weight with the people, in
a published interview takes strong
ground against the action of the New
York senators, and says: "Conkling
has insulted the Legislature" and in re.
turn the Legislature should elect new
men to represent them in the United
States Senate. The veteran editor is
generally right, and his view will be gen
orally approved by the people, whether
needed by the Legislature or not.

THE usually cautious and shrewed Gen.
Grant has at last done a very foolish
thing. In private letter written from
Mexico he takes up Conkling's side in
The Robertson controversy and severely
criticises the President. His letter Yves
private one and not intended for publ
cation, but Conkling's friends anxious to
strengthen themselves in every way pcssi-
BILE violated the rules of propriety and
gave the letter to the press. Gen. Grant
evidently did not understand the situa-
ton, for his letter contained many mac
curate statements. Having been in Mex
leo for some time it is quite probable that
his letter was based on statements COM
inc from the Conkling side, and not from
any positive knowledge which he himself
had of the situation. 1t is known that
Gen. Grant is fast friend of Senator
Conkling, as he has a perfect right to be,
but all of his warmest admirers regret
that he has been drawn into the "nasty
business"

WHY OCCURRED

WASHINGTON, MAY 21.-One of the
oldest and ishrewdest republican politi-
clans in Washington says the contest
between Garfield and Conkling was pre-
meditated on the Presidents part. This
shrewd politician says no man in congress
had better knowledge of Conkling, or
had more thoroughly studied his ways
and watched his treatment of oppo-
nents, than Garfield. He entered upon
his presidential duties with thorough
understanding that he must do one Of
three things, become the servile tool Of
Roscoe Conkling-come at his beck and
20 at his command, be treated with con-
tempt, as Ex-President Hayes was, OF
have row and effectually dress down
the dictatorial New Yorker. MIR. Gar
field is not made of the stuff out of which
to construct servile tool, nor is he the
kind of man that enjoys being sneered
at and treated with contempt BY aman
| in no respects his superior and in most
respects his inferior. Nor is the presi-
dent man who likes to fight. but he
had rather fight than occupy either. of
the other positions alluded to, so he decid-
ed upon row and having done 80 he
thought it best to have big one, and te
have it early in the administration.
The country knows all about the row
and the result There is every indica-
tionlthat Mr.. Conkling is pretty thorough
ly whipped. Like all great men a
proportion of his following was made up
of the class that would cease to follow
and aid him when his power to help
them had departed. Conkling has lost
that power and swarms of his so-callee
friends went with lit. If he is reelected,
which is very doubtful, he will, not be
able to help his frieuds during the foul
wears of Garfeld's administration

Judge McCrary, of the United States

John Elk, an Indian, to vote. The Com
