widely spread, perfectly natural and per-

THE New York Times of MAY 81 |

THE New York Times of May Sd has
q noticeable article on Conkling, where
in 1t says, Conkling has u clear right to
oppose Robertson's appointment If he
deems him an UNFIT one; he may even
do 70 on the ground that it is in viola
ton Of the pledges which he under
stands the president to have made to
him; but he has no right whatever to
oppose it by threats of disaster to the
republican party. Should he wait in
his opportunity and then throw his
influence against the candidates of his
party In this state. or refuse or neglect
to give his party all the support Of
which he is capable, he would be
guilty Of treachery, of and Of
ingratitude to the party which has hon.
ored him fully as much as he deserves.
To attribute to him any such purpose
is to credit him with the worst faults
his bitterest enemies have charged him
with. 1t is to declare him no statesman
and no party leader, but a selfish and
spiteful politician. Conkling himself
should be the first to resent such an
imputation on his honesty and loyalty.
II he consents to bear it, the republican
senators would be lacking in self-respect
and in fidelity in their public or party
obligations, il they allowed themselves
to be swayed by such ~inexcusable
threats.

The Exodus rrsa Germany.

From al immigration committee in
Germany come some remarkable facts
concerning the exodus from Germany:
II paid q visit to the immigration
bureau, or government office, and have
gathered the following facts: The au-
thorities at Berlin II perfectly be-
wildered at the extraordinary and
unprecedented exodus taking place this
year, and which, to all Appearances, is
yet in its infancy. 1t bears no compar-
ison to the emigration of former years
and threatens to assume the most gh
gantic proportions. The number OF
emigrants that left the port of Hamburg
the first quarter of the year was 7,707,
which was considered extraordinary,
but for the first quarter Of this
year the figures have reached 24,441.
Every steamer Of the Hamburg-Ameri-
can line, leaving the port for the next Eve
months, is contracted for, and the COM
pany has been obliged to put on a tri-
weekly line as extra steamships, to
leave every other Sunday, in addition
to the regular weekly steamships. The
emigrant boarding houses are crowded.
At the Office of the emigrants' agents
you will see whole regiments standing
in line for half a block; men waiting
their turn to exchange their money and
get tickets. 1 am told on the very best
and highest authority that the German
people in the interior are well posted as
TO America and the condition of the
country, and that the present great
exodus is principally owing to the news
received here from friends, countrymen
and relations in America, as to its
renewed prosperity. Whole counties
are being depopulated; the people are
crazy to leave for the promised land and
are sacrificing their property at ruinous
rates, for half or yer II third and
fourth of its actual value. I am told
these people are mostly OF the better
laboring classes, with a fair sprinkling
Of merchants and clerks, that have some
means. There are considerable num-
beers of Jews and socialists among them.
The bone and sinew OF Germany is
leaving. or course the government is
doing everything possible, short OF ac-
tual force, to stem this flood. Notices
are served on emigration agents, warn
ing them under yer penalties and
fines not to sell tickets, or TO ship, or in
in any way encourage young men, be-
low or between certain years, who may
not have paid for or served their pre-
scribed time in the army; but notwith-
standing this, large numbers of young
men obtain the necessary papers to
leave their country and go out on every
vessel.n

WEDNESDAY, MAY 4, 1881,

A WASHINGTON dispatch says: 1t
seems that among the papers saved by
Brady with reference to the expedition
Of the star route service, are several APP
plications signed or endorsed by Sher-
man; one of them, asking for an in
rease In service on the Fort Yuma
route, had on it the names of Secretary
Ramsey, Gov. Wallace, Of New Mexico,
and Of every one OF the California and
Texas delegations in congress. Brady's
defenders are disposed to make much
capital out of this circumstance, and
claim that an increase of service and
pay in nearly all instances complained
OF, lean be shown to have been ordered on
the application or influence of public
men. This is what Brady has all along
claimed, but the investigation by the
p~ostofice department has been neither
deferred nor retarded thereby. The
postmaster general is said to have his
case against Brady nearly ready.
