BLASTING GARFIELD.
The National Republican, _
recognized political mouthpiece of
the Conkling and Grant faction,
devotes over four columnsJof edi-
torials and paragraphs to bitter,
outspoken attacks on the presi-
dent. As it reflects the feeling
and purposes of the Conklingites
in the pending desperate struggle
of the Republican factions, its ut-
terances are worthy of note. It
characterizes the president’s ac-
tion in withdrawing the New York
nominations as “weak,ill-tempered
and petulant;” as “an unseemly in-
vasion of the senate by the execu-
tive power,” and as a fragrant
attempt at executive usurpation of
the constitutional functions of the
senate.” Going back to the Chi-
cago convention, the Republican
declares that the principle of op-
position to the unit rule was a
principle which gave “the nomina-
tion by the accidental caprices of
a mob to one who had scarcely
been thought of in that connec-
tion.” The circumstances attend-
ing the nomination are spoken of
as “the mad orgies, in the midst of
which a storm happened to drift
the debris of two beaten armies
over to Garfield.” The president
is now declared to be “ animated
by an unseemly lust for power,
which will destroy the party un-
less the Republican senators by
united action avert the danger and
save the president from the pit he
has digged for himself.”
In assaulting the president the
Republican to-day does not con-
fine itself to the New York nomi-
nations, but fires a broadside of
charges and insinuations regard-
ing the bottom facts in the
GARFIELD-HUBBELL LETTER.
In that letter Gen. Garfield said-
“Please say to Brady I hope he
will give us all the assistance he
can. I think he can help effectu-
ally. Please tell me how the de-
partments generally are doing.”
Brady to-day declared through
the Republican that the history
of that letter is as follows: “Hub-
bell had asked Brady to solicit
subscriptions. The latter declined
unless ordered to do so by Presi.
dent Hayes. This advice was
sought for and refused. Brady
was asked if Gen. Garfield’s ap-
proval would overcome the obsta-
cle, and he assented. Hubbell
wrote Garfield on the subject.
How, then, could Garfield be ig-
norant of what was wanted? He
knew that mail contractors were
the only persons with whom
Brady had any official contact.
There was no other aid he could
render. What Gen. Brady shrunk
from doing Gen. Garfield pushed
him on to do. That is the plain
English and the plain truth. An
honest official might well hesitate
to even seem to place himself
under implied obligations to con-
tractors, of the performance of
whose work honestly contracted
for he was to judge. Uu willing to
refuse absolutely to do as reques-
ted by a campaign committee, he
agreed to comply only upon con-
dition that the candidate for pres-
ident would say that he consid-
ered it right and proper.”
The public had a right to know
whether this grave specific charge
against the president is the truth
or not. One sentence of the above
paragraph, “What Gen. Brady
shrank from doing Gen. Garfield
pushed him to do,” is printed by
the Republican in italics. The
Garfield-Hubbell letter is of itself
a suspicious document, audit is
high time for Hubbell
what he knows about it.
CONKLING LOSING GROUND.
It is now regarded as very
doubtful if Conkling can carry a
majority of the commerce com-
mittee with him against Robert-
son. At least one member who is
claimed now declares himself a
supporter of the administration,
and it is quite likely that Mr.
Conkling may see the nomin-
tion taken out of his hands in his
own committee. Before this is
permitted it is quite likely he will
report the nomination himself'.
From the best evidence it would
appear that Mr. Conkling had sud-
denly lost control of his own com-
mittee, as well as of the caucus.
The fear of the loss of presidential
patronage impels the desertion of
Conkling. Senators are very like
other specimens of human nature,
they like to be found on the win-
jning- side. It is reported that
1 Conkling has complained that
Dawes and other Republican Sen-
ators made haste to desert him as
soon as they discovered that to
stick by him was to lose federal
patronage. He made appeals to
Democratic senators yesterday for
help, and daring different conver-
sations, spoke reproachfully of
Republicans who had volunteered
iheir support, but who deserted
him at the final fire. One senator
tartly observed that Mr. Conkling
should not complain of that; that
he, Conkling, was looking out for
No. 1, and that was all the rest
were doing. There is no doubt
but that the president’s stand has
struck the shifty ones into a panic.
The result of this can be easily
foretold. It is stated authorita-
tively that, iu case of Robertson’s
confirmation, the names of all
withdrawn will be sent in again.
THE CASE of TYLER,
Postmaster at Albany, will be ao
exception. Tyler is already con-
firmed, but is to be supplanted be-
cause of a semi-official scandal
similar to that which overwhelmed
his namesake at Baltimore. The
name of Mr. Elmer, nominated as
Brady’s successor, will not be
withdrawn. He is recommended
bv the Postmaster General and
Senator Platt, and not by Mr.
Conkling. The latter, at the time
the nomination was sent in, said
he never heard of Elmer before.
The president’s plan appears to be
to withhold further nominations
until the contested cases are dis-
posed of. This plan will soon
place the senate in an attitude of
elegant leisure, as the raw mate-
rial will give out in a day or two.
There will then be nothing to do
but consider Robertson or ad-
journ. If they should do the lat-
ter, which is not at all probable,
they would be immediately called
back again in extraordinary ses-
sion. The president feels much
flattered at the result of his stra-
getic move, and especially so at
the way it is taken by the country
delegate from that territory, has
written a strong letter favoring it.
Meanwhile Senator Logan, to
whom the president confided the
championship of his anti-polygamy
policy in the senate, is actively
considering what legislation can
best be had to meet the desired
end.
The Senatorial Situation.
WHAT A NEW ENGLAND SENATOR
SAYS:
Special dispatch to the G1 >he-Democrat.
New York, May 7.—A New Eng-
land senator who figured promi-
nently in the Chicago convention,
was in town this afternoon for a
few hours. As he was cr6ssing iu
the ferryboat to the train, on his
return to Washington, a Tribune
reporter asked him what he
thougt of affairs at Washington.
He consented to express his views
on condition that his name should
not be printed.
“In my opinion the senate will
adjourn next week without having
confirmed the nomination of Judge
Robertson,” remarked the sena-
tor.
“Why 1”
“Because the president by his
latest move has put a number of
Republican senators in a awkward
position. Two years ago several
of us voted against the confirma-
tion of Collector Merritt on the
ground that General Arthur had
not served the four years that he
had been appointed for. Now
the same question must be
raised. I do not say that when
the time comes I shall vote
against Judge Robertson, but
I do not see how we can go back
of what we did two years ago.”
“What will be the' effect of the
withdrawal of the New York ap-
pointments.”
“It has been a very different
effect from what Gen. Garfield
thought.it wotld. I believe that
it was a mistake, and I think the
majority of Republican senators
so consider it. As to just what
will be the result is to be hard to
say. I do not think the name of
Judge Robertson will come up for
confirmation.”
“If that is the case will it not be
considered a triumph for Conk-
ling?”
“Not in my opinion. Of course
the situation is such that any
move will be looked upon by one
side or the other as a triumph, but
I believe that when the people un-
derstand all the circumstances of
the withdrawal of Judge Robert-
son’s name, the position in which
Garfield’s frieuds would be placed
if they were called on to vote
either one way or the other, they
PLAN.
The South to he Lured with Gold Bait.
Baltimore Sun.
The anti-Grant-Conkling ele-
ment of the Republican party say
they are not at all alarmed at the
prospective loss ot the state of
New York in consequence of the
antagonism now existing between
the administration and the New
York senator. They say that if
New York is only to be held by all
the other leaders of the party bow-
ing the knee to Mr. Conkling and
obeying his commands, the sooner
it is given up the better. Thirty-
five electoral voters, it it is argued,
can be picked up elsewhere and
retained with much less trouble
and expenditure than is always
found to be necessary, in the case
of New York, even when Conkling
and all the other factions in the
Republican party of the state are
in a condition of mutual peace and
harmony. The states from whence
it is assumed these thirty-five
votes can be recruited are Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, South Car-
olina, Louisiana, Mississippi, and
Florida. It is well known
that the Republicans of all
those states have always com-
plained that the National Com-
mittee would never give them
financial assistance of conse-
quence in any of their campaigns,
but would dole out a few paltry
dollars to them, as if it were a
matter of the greatest condescen-
sion, but in New York, both in the
campaigns of 1876 and 1880, money
was poured out like water. The
Republican politicians generally
concur with the Democrats in the
opinion that in 1880, as in 1876,
Republican campaign funds would
have been expended for naught in
New York had it not been for the
Kelly disaffection. One of the
most prominent and sagacious of
all the Southern Republicans, a
member of the National Commit-
tee, said here during the last cam-
paign that he would engage with
one half the money that was spent
in New York to capture at least
fifty electorial votes in the South.
Friends of the administration, and
particularly some of those who
are close to M. Blaine, are said to
be now very much impressed
with the idea that a judicious dis-
tribution of Federal patronage,
and the judicious expenditure of a
few thousands here and there in
the states named above would re-
sult in the securing of electorial
votes more than enough to coun-
terbalance the loss of the State of
New York. If, as now seems not
improbable, the determination of
all the elements of the Republi-
can party not affiliated with the
will conclude' that it was the Grant-Conkling faction to oppose
wisest thing to do for the sake of the supremacy of that faction is ad-
i_________ hered to. it will certaiulv remove
harmony to the party, if nothing
else. Where so much depends

the vote is so close it is poor

bashTof letters8applaud- »>*««» Conklingafd anti-Couk-
ing his stand. Of course, those
who don’t applaud it don’t write,
so the thing is unanimous. What-
ever is done, is believed will be
done quickly. Senators on both
sides have been worked up to the
proper sticking point. A caucus
will effectually decide what this
is to be. A rumor is prevalent
that an administration paper will
be shortly started. The feeling
against Gorham is taken advan-
tage by some enterprising newspa-
per speculators to suggest a clean
administration daily which would
run out the Republican. There
are several names connected
therewith, and that of Levi P.
Mortou as the capitalist. The
suggestion meets with favor at
this particular time.
THE MORMON QUESTION.
One of the president’s personal
friends is authority for the state-
ment that the president is quite
anxious, as soon as there is any let
up of the existing pressure, to
consider some practical and
speedy plan of dealing with the
Mormon question. The receut
arrival ir? New York of some hun-
dreds of Mormon immigrants, and
the departure from the same port
of forty Mormon missionaries,with
the view of increasing the flood of
polygamous emigration, have in-
tensified iu his mind the desire ex-
pressed in his inaugural—while
respecting to the uttermost the
conscientious convictions and re-
ligious scruples of every citizen—
to prohibit all criminal practices,
especially of that cla^s which de-
stroy the family relations and en-
dangers social order. He is
equally firm in his opinion that no
ecclesiastical organization can
salely be permitted to usurp in the
smallest degree the powers oi the
national government. Recent at-
tacks by Mormon church leaders
on Governor Murray, of Utah, who
is a personal friend of the presi-
dent, and of Geu. M. M.Baue, of
Illinois, because of their anti-poly-
gamy sentiments, have excited
some considerable feeling in his
mind. The nomination of the lat-
ter gentleman as receiver of pub-
lic lands iu Utah is tied up in the
senate on charges preferred by
Cannon. Among the
ling, because the Republican party
needs the co-operation of one as
much as the other.”
“Is it probable that the nomina-
tion of Capt. Riddlebarger will be
confirmed ?”
“No, because after the executive
business has been disposed of you
could not keep a quorum of sena
tors in Washington twenty four
hours.”
“Then will the Mahone move-
ment be defeated?”
“Not in my judgment, because
there are so many people in the
South who are fully aware that if
they pursue their present course
that it means sure policital
death; they will grasp the
independent movement which
Mahone leads, if not their true
principle, as the only thing to
lead up to that state of political
sentiment which the better and
more liberal classes have so long
wished for.”
—Senator Beck, of Kentucky,
who is fond of a good horse, and
believed to be a pretty good judge
of one, too, relates that when a
much younger man was on a visit
to New York and accepted Oapt.
Norris invitation to take an airing
on the Bloomingdale road behind
the famous Lady Suffolk, though
the senator did not then know
the mare by reputation. Mr.
Beck describes the sensation ex-
perienced as that of “riding on a
whirlwind.”
—The project of propelling Chi-
cago street-cars by means ot end-
less cables received an impetus
from the visit of Superintendent
Holmes to San Francisco, whither
he went for the purpose of exam-
ining the system as it is there em-
ployed. He has returned enthusi-
astically in favop-of adopting it in
Chicago, and preliminary trial will
soon be made. Without a doubt
it will cost more to propel street-
cars in this way in Chicago than it
costs in ,San Francisco, owing to
heavy snows and freezing weather,
compelling a larger outlay to keep
the cables in free working order,
but Mr Holmes does not antici
pate any serious' obstacle from
this cause.
hered to, it will certaiuly remove
New York from the list of doubtful
states and put it in the Democratic
column. Hence to make up this
loss the South must necessarily be
looked to, and the solid North,idea
be abandoned. A leading Demo-
cratic senator said to your corres-
pondent to-nighi that he believed
firmly the administration would
bestow its patronage in Virginia
in such a manner as to help the
opposition to the regular Demo-
cratic party of the slate, and that
in addition to this, large sums of
money would be contributed from
Republican sources to the cam-
paign fund of the Repudiationists..
Whatever may be the shortcom-
ings and the abuses of Southern
politics, the peculiar Northern
method of carrying elections by
bribes of money has hot up to this
time obtained any foothold on that
section. Nothing is better known
than that avarice deadens consci-
ence, and the Southern Republi-
can above quoted was no doubt
convinced iu his own mind that
the same golden temptations to
which so many voters in one sec-
tion of the country succumb would
overcome the scruples of men in
the other section. That the expe-
riment is to be tried may be as-
sumed, and if successful in Virgin-
ia, it will be extended to the other
states which have been named.
There are many who have all along
beeu convinced that it might be
better in various ways for the
South if its political solidity was
broken, but not in the way that is
now propo-sed.
—The diplomats and senators
at Washington have all been
going to the circus recently. Vice-
President Arthur did not disdain
the attractions of the elephants
and lions, the clown# and the
gymnasts; and Senator Anthony
got a renewed attack of rheuma-
tism under the canvas. Even
Senator Sherman’s grave face
was visible; and the British min-
ister made up a party and took
forty seats.
--am »—-
—Meeting ex-Senator Gordon,
oi Georgia, Gath said: “If you
were in the senate now you would
tne busy ?” “Oh, my, said Gordon,
“don’t I have reason to congratu-
late myself every day that I am
out of the vortex—that I can be
independent and think for myself,
or not think at all!”
The German Exodus.
The secretary oi the immigra-
tion society of St. Louis has just
received letters from its agent re-
cently sent to Germany to work
up a boom for Missouri, which
give some remarkable facts con-
cerning the exodus from Germany
this spring. Writing from Ham-
burg, under the date of April 9,
the agent says : .
I paid a visit to the immigration
bureau or government office and
have gathered the following facts :
The authorities at Berlin are per-
fectly bewildered at the extraor-
dinary and unprecedented exodus
taking place this year, and which,
to all appearances, is only yet iu
its infancy. It bears no compari-
son to the emigration of former
years, and threatens to assume
the most gigantic proportions.
The number of emigrants that left
the port of Hamburg the first
quarter of the year 1880 was 7704,
which was considered extraordina-
ry. But for the first quarter of
this year the figures have reached
the unprecedented number of
24,441. Every steamer of the
Hamburg-American Line leaving
the'port for the next five months
is contracted for, and the company
Las been obliged to put on a tri-
weekly line of extra steamships,
which are to leave every other Sun-
day,in addition to the regular week-
ly steamer. The emigrant boarding-
houses are crowded. At the offi-
ces of the emigrant agents you
will see whole regiments standing
in line for half a block ; men wait-
ing their turn to exchange their
money and get tickets.
I am told on the very best and
highest authority that the German
people in the interior are well
posted as to America and the con-
dition of that country, and that
the present great exodus is princi-
pally owing to news received here
from friends, countrymen and rel-
atives in America as to its re-
newed prosperity. Whole coun-
ties are being depopulated; peo-
ple are crazy to leave for the
promised land, and are sacrificing
their property at ruinous rates—
for half,or even one-third and one-
fourth the actual value. I am told
that these people are mostly of
the better laboring classes, with a
fair sprinkling of merchants and
clerks, but all with some means,
most of them well provided. There
are considerable numbers of soci-
allits and Jews among them. The
bone and sinew of Germany is
leaving.
Of course the government is do-
ing everything possible short of
actual force to stem this flood.
Notices are served on the emigra-
tion agents, warning them under
severe penalties and fines not to
sell tickets, or ship, or in any way
encourage young men, below or
between certain years, who may
not have paid, or served their pre-
scribed time in the army, but, not-
withstanding this, large numbers
of young men obtain the necessary
papers to leave the country, and
go out on every vessel.
Steering Balloons.
London News.
If a solution of the problem of
aerial navigation is ever to be
found, it will probably be in the
devices of some modest inventor
who is content to let the winds
have their own way wituin certain
reasonable limits, instead of seek-
ing, as most aerostatic enthusiasts
have done, to baffle their caprices
by independent forces.
Possibly Colonel Martin, a
member of the ‘ Balloon Society
of Great Britain,” who has just
published a pamphlet on this sub-
ject, may be destined to achieve
this happy result; for he stands,
we believe, almost alone among
professors of aerial navigation in
making no pretense to do more
than give to the motion of the bal-
loon a slightly oblique direction
equal to tacking "within six points
of the wind. This is to be achieved
by the simple apparatus which
he describes, for concentrating
and directing part of the force of
the air current at will on either
side of the balloon, which at the
same time is prevented from gyra-
ting. The importance of balloon-
ing in war is now generally recog-
nized; and it is clearly cap-able of
many valuable and scientific uses,
including the aiding of researches
in the Arctic and Antarctic re-
gions. Col. Martin’s moderate
cfaims are therefore well worthy of
attention.
