The extension of the Longmont Branch from Longmont to the Unfon Pacific Road at Hazard, about seventv-five miles, is completed, and trafns are now running over it recularly. It was undertaken only three months ago by the Union Pacific Railroad Company to give them an entrance to Denver independent of the Den- ver l’-.\_mflv. It is stated that the total cost of the work, including track, stations, water-tanks, and everything ready for the rolling-stock, was only ubout $7.500 per mile. This new line gives the Chicace & Northwestern, Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, and Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific a dircet route to Denver and Longmont via Omaha and Bazard. The mectings between the Gen- eral Freiwht Azents of the above roads aud the Union Pacifical the Grand Pacific Hotel were for the purosc of making arrangements in re- gard to this business, and the proper divisions Were decided upon. There can be no donbt that the Chicazo & Northwestern and the other rouds leading from Chicaro to Omaha will be greatly benclited by the new arrangement, as the now route s much shorter, und_business will go straizht througl. Much’ of this bus} ness beretofore wens via St._ Louis, because Chi- cazohad no direct route to Denver. THE CHICAGO & ALTON. A table bas been furnished the Raifway Age showinz the comparative increase or decrease of. carninzs of the Chicago & Alton Railrogd for he last seven months. Summarized, the net decrease appears tq bave been as follows: April, §25.764; May, §102,890; June, $99,510; August, $27,535; September, §50,757; October, $85,084. The esplanation for this heavy fall- ing off, saFs the Age, is in part the almost total faflure of the corn crop zlongr the lines, the suspension of opcration of coal mines at Wilmington and other vlaces, and the stoppaze of the extensive fron-mills at Joliet.

NEW YORK, Nov. 10,—The London Economist says: Vrices in the speculative stock markets bave this week moved comvactly.

Though prices now appear high, everything which favors a further rise has an immediate effect on ac- count ot the optimist views whick pervade the speculative market. ¢ American gecurl- tles, although moving in thy with the general _cour: prices, have been at times depr alarms on the subject of a foreible evs the payment of interest in gold.

Parts, Oct. 25.—The present situation in Frauce bas no counterpart in all Europe, though it may have one in China. We have a Govern- ment styling itsclf the Government of the Re- public; its Head presides over a people the majority of whom are Republican, and over two Chambers which constitute a Parlia- ment in which Republicanisin commands a ma- Jority of over100. The President, having had donbts persistently suggested to him by those around bim #s to the rezl sentiments of the ma- jority of the nation, baving been told that the electors had been deceived and misled into vot- ing contrary to their actual opinions, resolves to interrogate the countrs. In order that there shonld be mo possibility of mistake, that the clectors should clearly see what tney were doing, every precaution is taiien, the President himself, inasolemn proclamation, saying to them: “Take carc, do mot be de- ceived. All those who will be with me will bear a special mark which you cannot mistake, My candidates will offer themselves on whit® bills, the colorof the Administration ex- clusively, with the indorsement of my Pretects, Sub-Prefects, Magistrates, and func- tionaries of all kinds. and you Will vote only {for the candidates thus indicated. If you vote for any others, it will be voting for the Repub- lie. Reflect well, make no mistake; do not con- fuse the Republican candidate with tne one T recommend toyou.” ‘Chen, after five months’ labor, designed to prevent any possibility of mistake, the-poll is taken, and the country has given the Republicans an imposini majority of 700,000 votes over all the otlier parties put together—Lesitimists, Bona- partists, Orleanists, aud MacMabonists—so that the President of the Republi: now knows be- youd all doubt that He woverns a country the majority of which is Republicans ‘Well, Europe will hardly pelieve it, but at this momeut, when the weltare of France and the repose of Europe are at stuke, and may de- pend on o frank understanding between the Head of the State, who hns questioned, and the country, which has replicd, not_one of the 4,- 273,000 Republicans yho voted eight days ago lias anproached or can_ approach the President of the French Republic.

His reading of the newspapers is limited to two or three Conservative journals, the Figaro figuring attheir head. If extracts from other papers are communicated to Lim, these are carefully adapted to the exigencies of the situation, and as he does not kuow any foreign touzue, he has_never read a sincereé and disinterest- ed opinfon in a non-French paper. One of the Puris journals which he reads having serted a few days azo that the foreign pross, especially the Zimes, spoke of him 1 terms which noruler would tolerate, the Marshal, tbough this is eatirely false, and thouzh no foreign paper bas ever deviated from re. ful Janguage towards him, will nevertheless believe to the end of his days what he met with in one of the tew orzaus tamibiar to him. Thus on everything at home; aud avroad the head of the State has no other ideas than- those it pleases the persovs around him to give him, and he, in turn, may have become so confident of the inladlivility of his opinions that those around him can nao longer express themselves freely. There is no stranzer suect: i Europe, andithis explars why the Marshal, without baving mors vanity than others, has spoken as no absotute King, no sutoc victorious General, ever presumed to s expluins why he ren Y ries ofmy policy alone place the Consti- tution in danger.

Why he bas not yet sub- witted to the verdict of thenation. Thosearound *him tell him that submission woulid be dis- honor; that the Left are bent on decciving him; that by accepting the national verdict he would alienate the whole Rignt. the whole Fanbours St. Germain, all the mansions of the Faubours St. Honore, all the Duchesses of yesterday, the Mariuises of to-day, all the Counte: of to- morrow, without conciliating the Republ andthat he cannot honorably desert. the friends who haveincurred, and arestill ready to incur, the greatest dangérs for his sake. e is adv hetefore, not to yield, and nobody allowed z cess 1o him can or will show hnn his mistak e is told that the country bas not beeu sutli- ciently enlightened; that "on sceingz him to be the stronger 1t will yield; that the Republicans cannot stand a seeond struwgle, but already are partiwily worsted, and that this time more will be” done, beeause the ofticials will know their places are secure after the victory. This is Wl is repeated to him; wi he, perbaps, aiready believes; what he may act upon to-mor- row, without anybody beingz abie to teltbim that it is ruinous and vupatriotie. He is assured that the Senate, which would not have sccond _dissolution had the Boaap: umphed at tue late elections, would do so the adyantage on the side of the Mounarch and that by the openipg of the Extnbi- tion all will be over, 6 that, his powers prolonged, he will present himsell as the un- uestioned head of the Freneh Royal-Republi The Budget, it is true, is not_ voted: but be is told thut Bismarck dispensed with this, without its being added that the Prince relied vna clause in the Prussian Constitution atlezed to warrant that step; and when he hesitates at a fresh dis- solution he is informed that oneof the Pitts dissolved the British Parlinment seven times. Itis thus that amind for whom politics re- mains an unknown science is being deluded, and that by being isolated from all the Liberal world he is plunged into a kind of anwsthesia, in which he is consclous only of the ideas, wishes, and hopes of those who are en rapport with lim. When the Ropublican party try to communicate with the Marshal they arc foreed to_seck mouthpieces amons those whom they but yesterday combated, and to turn to f-styled Moderates for their intermediaries; but these men, aified their approval of the act of the 16th of .\I:l?‘ h the Muarshal’s advisers and afraid to see thes Vention received with suspiciou, hesitate to undertake the task,and it is thusthat the chasm between the Marshal and the Re- publican varty remains unbridged. One may expect. therefore, to see him more and more impelled toward ideas of dissolu- iion; but if anything can and ought to arrest this ‘projeet, it is the following difemma, on which T need not expatiate: I a fresh dissoln- tlon fails like the first, it becomes a useless at- tack on_the repose of the comntry; if it suc- cecds, if additional acts of coercion lead to an anti-Republican ‘majority, Enrope, in spite of all that may be done and said, will style it Clerical, and France will know but too soon what such a majority will cost ber.

From Intertiew in New York Herald of Aor. 9. «Tp this city, Mr. Coukling, the most deter- mined opponents you have seem to show them- selves.” “Yes, there are about 300 persons here who believe themselves to occupy the solar walk and wilky w and even up there they lft their skirts very carefully for fear cven the heavens might stain them. Some of these people would vote against 2 man because he hiad been nominated. The mere fact of nomination and selection reduces him in their estimation. They would have people fitl the offices by nothing less than divine selec- tion. If it were not so amusing one would lose patience with this class of people; theyare after the unattainable in humun government.” * DEMOCRATIC GRATITUDE. “Did you get any Democratic support at home daringz the last election,—that is, did the candidates who were put in nomination by your friends?” “There were somo of the more lofty and gentlemanly Democrats who made it a point to resent the kind of attack thbat bas been made onme. The Democratic party, however, is just as likely to strike down the man who gives them some toleration when they are right as to deal reciprocally with him. You have to takea Democrat of considerable tone and manliness to rely upon his indiguation. I went down to the ;7ulhzlnsc ‘Tuesday to vote, and while Iwas speaking to one of my neighbors, Dr. Chamber- lain, a-Democerat, said to me, ‘I have voted for ——, huping, Senator, that it would be in your interest.” # ’ A VARIABLE DISTRICT. *Was it a surprise to you that the Democrat- ic candidate for Senator carried the district?” « Hardly a surprise, considering the. opposi- tion I had. Weshould have carried the district, atthough 1t is a variable one. it has given as Disth a5 4,000 majority for me, and it has_ given a thousand or more the other way. But the en- ergies of all tue opposition to me were concen- trated upon that district. I believe tnat Tam- many Huall and this lofty coteric of Republican gevdemen in this” ety threw mouey into my district to carry it against me. Besides, the weather was very bad; and the country peovle, on whowm we rely in a tight place, many of whon have to ride twelve miles o vote, had terribly bad roads to 2o over.” *What ticket did Ellis Roberts vote?” “lfe voted the Democratic ticket. Roberts aud two other men of the same name, one of them a buteher, but not refated to each other, and a man nawed Lowery, aud another by the nume of Savre are the ringleaders of tne personal ovposition to me at Utica. The Hayes interest uniformly aud openly voted with the Democratic party,? THE 300 AND THEIR MONET. “Tow could mone; been raised, Senator Counkling, to be thrown into your district i “iVell, the highly respectable 890, of. whom £ ‘spoken, Lave nothing so plentiful as Among that class of our peers’in this ereat’ commercial ¢ity you can raise from 0,000 to 3100000 very easily and thes not flinch. Beside Timmany Iall iwas .very desirons of saviuz the Legis- lature SO as to keep their power in th mietropolis_forever, There are 13,000 oflice- holders in New York, or persous in receipt of from SI7,500 to $500 or $1,660. Here are 2,000 Notaries Publie at $500 a year, and Lam told that every of them was psscesed $25 by Tammany” Holl. There was no place in New York where they could employ this money with more_satisfaction to themselves in the result thay in the district where Ilive. Here was a fusion of the extremely rich and the sans eulotles, the hidaizos and the rabble, wogking from chis city for the common purpose of beating the Re- publican candidate in the Utica district. Had we been sufliciently aroused and sagacious we could have defeated the maneuyre; but we found it_out too late, Let me tell you some- thing, We sent the tickets to the polls in the ward iu which I live at daylight, as did the Democrats. Not oue of our tickets was found at tlw, polls. They were all thrown into the canul.” WAYS THAT ARE DARK, . £ Who threw them into the canal?” s gither bewha carried them or some one who reeeived them. No man does a trick like that unless he is secured by indemnity for the past and non-prosecution for the future. Some potential person must have given that assur- ance. We sent over into the Tenth Ward, where there happened to be an excess of tickets, and, at a comparatively late hour, supplied our people with the ballots.” 5 CHIEFTAINSHIP. “Mr. Conkling, are vou satisfled that the Ad- ministration at - Washingion was aoxious for your defeat?” ** From the time Hayes came into office and appointed a Democratic Cabinet,” said Mr. Conkling, * the princival labor of little Evarts and the rest has been to ‘withdraw the Repub- lican support from me.” ) A Irihm Evarts made any expression on that head?”? < “He told a gentleman some time ago that the reform movements of the Administration, as far as New York was concerned, were to break up chieftainship. I suppuse that chieftainship was a declaration of censure upon mysell.” “Bat bas the Administration directed any ofticial act acainst you in this last ¢lection “Yes. They made the removals of “the prin- cipal officeholders in New York, whom I matchi tlem to duplicate, nuch less excel, a week be- fore this State clection came off. Was that chivalric behasior toward a Republican seeking to extricate this State from the D-mocratic ad- ministration § And,” said Mr. Conkling, with risiug, fervor, il we had reccived the Hayes votes in the State of New York, oreven a fair portion of them the State, would have been Re- pitblican to-lay, restored to its proper place in intluence and character.” TIE CIVIL-SERVICE ORDER. “ Do you think that the brated order, di- recting oflicebolders to abstain from all political action. was also intended to operate against idual publie men?” Undoubtedly that celobrated reformatory order was_factional in its intent, made in thie interest of euvious and presuming little men. Sherman goes out to Onio and makes speeches in deflance of it; McCrary goes to lowa and manages a_Conyention despite the order, and finally Devens—who is a pretty mood sort.of a fellow, or hus been in the past—writes to Massachusctts think Senator Conkling said to Collector Simmons] and says that the order meant itself to be disobeyed, and that the way to obey it was to violate TIE MASSACHUSETTS VICTORY. “What is your opinion oi the Massachusetts election, which the Haves men are claiming as a victory for the policy " ©That election shows only how well real party men bebave. The men, who dislike the policy and _could see no honesty in the Lresi- dent’s position on the Southern question, never- theless walited to the polls and cast_their bal- Iots for the Republican candidates. The Hayes men also voted in Massachusetts. But in this State of New York I charge that the Hayes ele- ment was not only indilferent to the election but voted the Democratic ticket by hosta. The State of New York is Democratic tolay by the act of the supporters of the President."” ( TIE REPUBLICAN PARTY SHOULD LIVE. < r. Covkling, is there any good reason for disbanding the Republican party at this time?? 1“1 there has been any tune within the past ten years when the party was worth preserving, init. First, there is the South, arrogant, ad- vancing, drivenon by the Sonthicrn constilu ents who have lost everything. Theywere com- nelled to repudiate the Confederate debt, anid to strike off the pensions to- their soldlery. Why should not they take as much as possible from the North? In the light of huian nature they are hardly to be blamed for looking upon the Federal T'reasury ns something which has been used to_thelr disadvantage, but can now be em- plosed to liquidate the balance. Then we have the East, of which New York is the Democratic citads Here fu_is Tammany Hall and Jobn Kelly and the Capal Ring. ~This is anotber oredatory_element. In the last place the Vestern” Democracy fs composed of two great wings—inflation and agrarianism. The Repub- lican party alone af such 2 time can properly represent the property-holder and the tax- payer. Don't yon see that the Southern ele- ment, being powerful in the Democratic caucus, can compel” tne whole party to support their measures? Toat is why 1 look upon these wealthy men of New York as foolish. . They are to be the sufferers if this nation passes into the hands of a party controlled by the South and is ruled in the North by eyil traditions and the socialistic clements.” LOOKING FOR A SEAT. “Ben Hill,” said Senator Cookling, “is a genial, open man. He came to me the other day and said, ‘Senator, I am oblired to give voit notice that I have filed an “application “for vour seat when you are compelled to leave it. T don’t say that I'personally Lope it will be empty ; but in case it is—and that now looka probable— I[haye put a caveat on it.” # Mr. Hill,” suid I, ** there have been five ap- nlicants for my seat, aud they are all dead or disappointed. X don’t know that I hope you will kave as bad luck.” HAYES' SOUTHERN POLICT.. ¢ Senator, eriticism on President Haves seems to be defective. oevausc it does not substitute any kind of action in place of the action that he hus thought fit to take.” “There is no considerable element in the Re- publican party,” said Senator Coukling, “which objects to the removal of troops from the South- cru States. I have made no_objection on that score. Butall that was required of him was to take out the troops and nuthing else. He had naright *o make a bargain_or compromise with the Legislature of the State fn the interests of the Presidency. His nterfering with a State by evmpromise oT bargain was as much a viofation of the law us if he bad interfered with troops and by arms.!” , “Nevertheless, Senator, a large clement of ‘onposition Lo Mr. Hayes comes from the radical Northern clement.” “Very probably,” said Mr. Conkling, *‘all througli the Norih are substantial people who are like Miles Standish in their devotion to the original iutents and symputhies of the Repub- lican party as a_free Northern party. These people do not object 5o much to withdrawing physical force from the South as they do to the conspicuous contrast of Mr. Hayes in the [’ dency by the vote of Louisiana, ana Mr. Packard turned out. Evers man knows that on the face of those returns Packard was more elected than Haves, by three or four thousand votes. You cannot’ present those returns in any furm that will not give more legality to Packard as Governor of Louisiana than to Hayes as President. Peoble say this man assumes all the virtues of reform in an oflice which he las sained by the simple repudiation of the fadder that lifted him. Lt is the gencral record of usurpers thaj, though sustained they do their favors to the other side. The President has o Democratic Cabinet.” A DEMOCRATIC CABINET. + How do you make that out!” “Devens abways ran for oilice in Massachu- setts on the Democratic ticket. He neverwasa Republican. Schurz took himself out of the Republicau party years azo. Democrat. 1 am sure,” added Mr. Conkling, **that nobody counts Evaris a Republican. “The Democrats were so certain of tnce contrary that they had proposed to nomiuate_him for tae office ol Governor in this State. I have no 1aith in a President whose ouly distinct act is ingratitude to the men who voted for bim and the party which gave him its fealty. Iuo the domain and forum of honor that sense of Mr. Hayes’ intidelity stands forward and challenges bim. Itis felt by houcst men all over this country. e smiles and showers on the oppo- sition the proofs ot a disturbed mind.” ** He has been a ereat traveler, Sepator.” Tam told that there nas not besn a fortnizht since he was inauzurated that there has been a quorum of the Cabines present in the Capital city.” ; * Have you read the President’s speeches? “Yes; 1 think old Ifarry Lee ought to have rd that speech where he_con diers of the Confed Greeks. * We beat you,” he and in Atlanta becaiise we had more Mr. Conkling shook his head, and looked amusement aud contempt. - A TREASURY RAID. 4 You do, then, apprehend, sir, that_a Demo- cratic victory would result in excessive appro- priations ™ “That is the inevitable logic of the ascendancy of the Democratic party. Will they let this little whip-tail in the North drill them when they hold the stock and butt of the whip in their hands? Wiy, at the close of the last Congress they ran the River and Harbor Ap- propriation bill up to §5,000,000. Gen. Grant 4, *in Nushville % put himself on record and said, “Dll only slen this Dbl beeanse it is too late in the session for it to be reconsidered, and there are some worthy objects in it,” but he indicated that he would not spend all the mones. and neitber did be, for he em- bargoed three millions out of five. * Now said Mr, Conkling, “Iam told that three mill- ious have been put out since Gen. Grant left the oftfice. What is there in the lawof human nature to prevent these peosle from pressing forward for appropriations?! The physiesl sears of the Great_Rebellion contest were left only in the South. To them it was a siomal aud mortifying era in their history. To-day they are poor, clamorous for office, and cjamor- ous for money. Their rivers, levees, harbors, public buiidings—cversthing snzgests rebabili- tation and expense. I have no words of cnzer for the South; but, through my position as a New York Scnator, I can plainly see that these, our gentry, who are voting aguinst the Repub- lican ticKet, will one day howl under the in- fliction of national taxstion encouraged at Washington.™™ THE LOUISIANA BARTER. “The Louisiana barzain and sale of which you spoke, Senatu, seems likely to be revived by investigation or otherswise.” Mr, Conkling said nothing on this direetly. it consistent,” he said in a moment, #for the President of the United States to send his agents lnto Louisiana to barzain with that ‘man Nicholls,who by all the_evidence and Ly the status of the cast was a rtd-banded traitor to his State Government? This dealing with usurpers to rezain the summit of power is a novel practice in our country, An honorable President, feeling bhimself to have been elected, would have refrained from any such intricue with pretenders in States that were ready to revolt. He would have taken his office maufully, sraciously, and inspired respect withont bargaining for it. Al he had inhouvor to dowas towithdraw the troops, and to that no one would have objected. So longas Mr. Hayes is in the Pre chair_those old sud_substautial Republicans in the North will never look on him with respect while Gov. Packard, discrowned, silent, and re- moved, appears as the vietim, but loohs on.!” Whenever he referred to the Administration, the Senator grew cheerful and enzaging, and corruseated in anecigfes and sareasms, He re- ferred to one person—I think it was William E. Dodze—as being as anxious to halloo for the President and his policy as a certain negro who swent to bear Whitfield preach,—as he supposed. ‘The negro thought it necessary to do his best at shouting, and heaccordingly rolled over, jumped Juba, aud only finished his crowing when told at last that, instead of Whitfield preaching, it was another person. Alluding to some of those men of profession, like Schurz, whose political‘stock was thanking God that they were not like other men, “ they Teminded me,” said Mr. Conkling, ‘‘of a certain Senator of whom it was said that he was an infidel and dia not belicve in the Bible. This person was so sery complacent that some one reinarked, ¢ \Vh;' should Le believe in it2—he did not write it.” ! TILDEN. “ Mr. Conkhng,” said the interlacntor, “ did you not have some respect for Mr. Tilden?” *In a sense 1 did,” said the Senator, and he repeated “in a sense.” “When Mr.' Tilden proceeded against_the Tammany Riug and the Caual Ring while Governor, I observed that the Republican papers, particulurly in New York City, exalted him to the skics, and I remarked, “They will get this man up 0 high after awhile that when ther set to work to drag him down they canmot do it As Governor Mr. Tilden exceeded my expectations.

B The Evenirg Post thinks Conkling’s state- ments at the interview shows that he don't think be won avictory in the late New York election. On the contrars, he evidently believes he has been defeated sorely, but shows that he feels it in a way that is unbecoming, mot to a great statesman merely, but to a diznified end self-respectful man. Conkling’s performances at Rocnester went far to convince most persons that tbe great Sens- tor was really o small, varrow-minded wav. There may have been an inclination to. excase hisaross violation of propriety then ontheground of sudden ioss of tewrper. ‘The very nearly unanimous rebuke which was administered to him by bis friends as well as his foes, it was supposed, would mgke him regret what he had done. But the later performance was worse than the other. ‘ Little Evaris,” *Little Roberts,” these are some of the terms with which he spitefully describes bis political oppo- nents. For one word of courteous eritivism upon the courseof the Administration, such a3 citizen who differs with it may fairly make, Conling delivers himself of a'score of words in gross personal attacks upon men who have wounded his inordinate vanity.
