THE CHEERFUL sTALwARTs.
A New Campaign to be Opened by the
Administration.
WASHINGTON, June 5.-Unless in
dications are false to an unusual cx-
tent, General Arthur is about to take
a new departure. He has tried for
eight months to placate those who
style themselves Garfield Republi-
cans. He will try no longer. Like
certain self-styled reformers in Penn
sylvania, they are enemies to whom
he must submit, or there can be no
peace. Arthur, it is said, has made
up his mind that war is preferable to
peace on such terms. And so, if the
Half Breeds desire it, war it will be.
Protesting stalwarts who went over
to New York about the time Of the
Presidents visit, have returned with
smiling faces. When asked for an
explanation, one said it was "good
enough to keep ''An infusion of
Conkling," said another, "makes Ar
thur all right, and so will it be here
after"
"There is no use Disgusting" said
an irrepressible stalwart, "that some
things in Arthur's course have not
received the approval of Conkling; !;
but the two men are friends and per-
fectly agreed regarding the future.
1t is to be aggressive compared with
the past
The session is nearly over. He
has had no quarrel. His appoint
ments have in nearly every instance
been confirmed by an opposition
Senate, SO that he could hardly ask
anything which that body would not
yield.
Stalwarts declare that, sink OF
swim, survive or perish, there is
to be no surrender of principle Oh
position by the Administration. Cam
eron declares that if the Administra
ton will stick, he will bring it the
keystone State as trophy. Other.
declare that if it is fight, there will b,
honorable results; but if the Admins
tration is to roll and tumble like
water-logged ship, nothing need b,
! expected. There is nothing like
positive course by positive men, sa
:, the Stalwarts. Thad. Stevens, Ber
: !, Wade. Zach. Chandler prove tn
! proposition. Their positivencss an
aggressive characteristics mad
= them conspicuous when abler me
were forgotten.
, During the eight months Of Al
. thurs occupancy of the White Hous
, his enemies have interpreted hi
: course so as to render them insolen
and even defiant, in all the depar1
ments of the Government. This
:, sufficiently attested by the fact tha
: the Congressional Campaign Con
;, mittee, in reply to the request fc
? contributions to the expenses neces
: sary to secure a Republican Con
: gress, are receiving quite general
> a refusal, as many as one hundre
: such letters having been receive
from the Treasury Department alon
-" last week.
y At present there is no doubtir
- the fact that the departments are
I the hands Of those who prefer IL
&c party's defeat to Arthur's success.
:, This is what stares the Admin
- tration in the face. Its enemi
- - mainly are fed at the public cri
= Since it is the doctrine Of the Repu
., licans that they who enjoy the bou
:. = ties ought to pay the expenses of Il
VI election, Mr.. Arthur has at the pre-
= ent moment the means Of determi
le ING where his enemies as we'll as b
~ friends are.
y 1t is estimated from the eviden
y, in the hands of Mr.. Jay Hubbard
- - committee that by far the large
81 part of those who draw salaries
- the departments would rather s
. Arthur sent to perdition than that
~ ~ be saved by any effort from them.
"e If Arthur has undertaken n
=" departure, what is he going to
-, 40 right here? This is what his mi
os faithful followers are asking.
