K8 ¥ CIAM, I BILENAN, Socroinry, f WEDNESDAY, MAY 4, 1831, ONE of Senator Conkling’s New York srgnns, the Albany Ezpress, snys that his " Primacy should be conceded, for it Is but e natural result of his predmiuence.’” + “Primacy " is the word, then, that describes y Mrl Conkling In the estilmntion of his wor- shipers. It has a specinl significance, It has been assoclated for many years with the highicst functions of the Roman Church, When the Popo sends out n Nuncio, this dignitary goes ns o Primate, and nets ns o proxy for the infallibility which s supposed to attach to the Papal oflice. The inforcnce 15 that Mr. Conkling is infalllble. Isithis ownconscionsness of this exceptional quality, which has heretoforo been confined to tho Almighty and tho Pope, which induces hlin to insist that tho Custom-TIouse must be con- fided to s holy charge? It would certainly bon boon to the country If that Institution ! could be guaranteed an fnfallible adminis- . tration, but people have grown so akoptieal . In these days of liberal Christinnity that they +# require more satisfactory demonstration of { Sonator Conkling's infallibility than any that has yet been offere SENATOR DAWES, ns Chalrmnn of the Re- publican Caucus Cominitteo, has recolvod n brief dispatch from the Presidontin refor- enca to tho deadlock. Intha letter the Prosl- dont stated’ that he was very desirous that thero should bo n freo ballbt and « fair count, Y notonly in Virglnia, butln every Ropublican ‘State, but that he would do nothing to assist ‘" the editorof nypapoer which constantly and ; maliclously nssalled his Administration to get oflico under tho Ropublican party, Tho edltor referred to is Gorham, the Californin Dbolter, who uses Star-Itoute Brady's slicot to do his little best to injure Preslident Gar- , fleld’s reputatiod, and to throw odium on his Adwministration. It was stated # In conneotion with this note that the Presi- % dent proposed to withdraw all the nomtna- } tlons which lio had alrendy made, in order to i, placate Conkllng and other obstroperous ; Scuators. Bith the Presldent and Mr. Dawes have emphatically denled the truth of this i story, and the President added that he had .' sent his nominations-to the Seunto In good faith, and that hewould not withdraw any | i of them. It was for the Sennte to nct on 4. thens, and he would not try to Influcnce thelr actlon, 3 S—— H T old troubiae botween China and Japan « . hns broken out afresh, and now it Is roported by telegraph that war Is Inovitable, 'The caaua hetll I3 still tha old contentlon about * tha Loo Choo Islands, to the possession of * which both natlons lay claim, T'he Chinese appear to have seized upon the conclusion of an nmleablo settlement with Russla ‘of tho Kuldja watter a8 ah oppor- tune time .to ronssert thelr claim and attempt to enforco. it. Tho Japancso Y. recently sent Ambassadors to Chinn to com- . plote'ncgotlations ns to the government of * tho islands, but they were so shabbily treated hat the Jagancse Government sent one of ;. its war vesgels to bring them buck, and broko J. off tho nogotlations summarily.

It consists solvly of his fail- ure up to this thno to obtaln undisputed possession of the Nuw York Custom-llouse. 1t there were no other reason why Mr, Conkling should not ba permitted to dictate the nowlnation of w New York Collector, the mysterfous and yugxplalned perslstonce Wwith which he pursues thls objeet; to the exclusion ‘of all other favors and the rojeo- tion of sl other conceasious, 1s suflieient to » warrnnt and demand the President’s cone + tinued refusal to surronder this oflice Into Conkling’s hands. 'The easy has bocome . suspiclous. Ay, Coukling hus not explatned > why the New York Custom-llousa {s more valuable' to hiwm than Cabinet vositions, forelgu diplomatic appolutments, and the en- ¥ RETY mien = e tire list of Now York offices outsido that single plnco. The Presidont has no right, tinder tho efrcumstances that have been deseribed, to ylold up the control of that ofica to Mr Conkling, It Is an offica for which the Aaministration must hold UHself responsible to the country, and to that end It must rotan tho control thereol, "I'he oflce does not belong to Now York alone, and much loss to any cliae or nny one man in that State, Fully nine- tenths of the Government business transact ed at the port of New York affocts tho citl- zens of othor'States. The comblnad import- ters of Chleago, Clnelnuatl, Cloveland, De- trolt, 8t. Louis, Milwaukee, Lonisville, Kau- sasCity, and tho othernumerous cltles of the West have tnuteh moro Interest In tho honest administration of that ofMco: than have the local importers of New York, 1t Is notorl- ous that tho Now York Custom-[lousé nt cor- tain thmes fn the past hing been prostituted to schumers and speeulators to the serlous In- Jury of haporting interests throughout the country, - ‘Falso Involces, smuggling devices, drawbacks and llogal. exactions of various deseriptlons have been dzposad on more than ong occasion, It fs finfortant that tho nd- ministration of the customs service of Now York shall be protected ngainat these and slmilnr nbuses. 1t s evident that tho Na- tlonal Administration eantint guarantes such protéction If It surrender tha absotuto con- trol futo the hands of any one man, whoover ho may be, who ls not responsiblo to tho whola peoplo of the country, AN ATTEMPTED USURPAYIOR. Sonator Conkling admits that he has con- tributed to the continuance of tha dendlock In the Sennte hoping thereby to compel the withdrawal of the nnine of Judige Rlobertson -by tho President. 'Thls is the confession of -t purnose on his part to usurp In behnlf of the Senata the appointing powor vested In the President by the Constitution. The Con- #titution provides n method wheroby Mr. Conkling may expross his dlsapprobntion of any glven nomination made by the President, but it Is not the method he hna cliosen to adopt. ‘The Senato was convened In oxtra sossion for the sole purpose of affurding Sen- ators an opportunity for expresaing approval or disapproval of Presidential ‘nominations. The Prestdent has mndo o large number of nominntions, but for two months the Sennte hns neglected and refused ‘to act - upon . them elthor aflrme- tively or negatlvely, It has practically nbaicnted its functlons, for It refusvs to co- operate with the Executlve in an Impertant particulnr of ‘administration In which its co- operation Is required by tho Constitution, DBut it refuses to ndjourn when ndjourmnent would relicvo tho Presldent of embarrass- ment to a dogree, slnce in recess ha would have powerto fill vacancies, The conclusion Is thoreforo Irresistible that the Senate does not proposo meraly to defeat cortain nomina- tions of the I’resldent, but to mnake procla- mation of Its purpose to compet suchynoml- natlons In every instance as 1t shall desire, Innword, it gives notice to the President that he must seek its advice In advanco ‘of sending In names or its consent to appointments will be retused. True, the edict relates Immediately to the case of Judge Robertson, But the rule established Inone cise would logleally cover all cases, for what is coneeded to Mr, Conkling Dy tho Senate may bo demanded with equal reason by the Senators from cach State. This Is the courtesy of the Scnate, which menns an agreement by the whole Senata that the Sen- ators from each State shiall bo sustained in dlctating tho Presidontinl appointments withe in thelr respective territorial jurisdictions. And this i3 a palpablo usurpation, o transfor- ance of the power of appolntment from the Exeeutive, whero it s lodged by the Consti- tutlon, to a branch of tho legisiative dopart- ment of the Governmont. Humlilton did not foreseo that the Senate of tha Unlted States would attempt to usurp a prerogative of the Exuuudvu, but he stated the objsctions tu confertlng the power of appointment upon the Senate, and stated them forcibly, -Ile salds - Thoro is nothing so npt to n;iimm tho pasalong of munkindas parsonal consliorations, whothor thoy reluto to ourselves ur othors, who aro to bo tho objeets of our chulee or preturance, Honoo 111 ovory oxorolse of the powor of rppolntiug to ollices by an nssombly of mon, ono inmust expect todcon il dlu{:lny of uil the privute und purty 1ikings and distikes, partinlitios nnd untiputhios, attausnonts und anlimosities, which are telt by thoso who compose the nssembiy, Tho eholca which may ut nny timo hurpun 10 bo macdo un- der such alreumstunces will of courde boe tho ro. 8sult olthor of a victury gaiued by otie party ovor the othor, or of n cowpronige botwaen the par- tivs, In eithor cuso tho intrluslo meritof tho candidato will bo tov ofton out of slght, In tho firat tho qualitications best adapted to uniting tho sull; 3 of tho purty will Lo more consid- ered thun thoso which fit tho porson for tho sta- tion, In tho lnst, the coalition will probably turi Upon somo Interestod onuivalont, * Give us the man we wish for this oilice, and you shall hive tho one ?'ou wish fur thut.'"

FORCE THE ADOPIION OF BROAD TIRF3. A preliminary step has been takon by tha City Counclil to roform the destructive evil of narrow wagon-tires on Improved streots, In the Councll proceedings of Monday night 1n the followling: 1f this Is followed up and a proper ordl- nance is enneted, half the wear, toar, nnd des struction of Chleago paved streots will cease, The great enemy of macadnm, gravel, or wooiden-block pavement Is the nnrrow tires of heavy wagons and catls, whioh cut'and tear thetn Into ruts and holes. It cannot be tuo ofton repeated that the dnmago done to the lmproved streots of Chi- cago by narrow tlres exceeds n milllon of dollars per awnum. No pnving substance yob Introduced Into this city will stand the “‘rackot” of 10,000 wagons with two-lnch tires, ench welghing, when londed, from throe to four or five tons, 1'hoy will cut and tear any paving matorin! to plecos in n short time. Chango tho tires of these wagons into four-inch irons, nud not onc-quarter of the mischlef will bo dones on graveled or macadamized streots not one-tenth part of tho harm in wot weathor will result from tho broad as from the narrow tires, In dry weather the narrow tires are not 86 destruct- Ive, but when tho surfaco of the streots is "sott from raln, or the frost combime out In tho spring, leavy laden wagons with narrow tires rip them to pleces in the most shocking manner, whero whle tires would roll singoth- 1y ovér them dolng no harm. 1t narrow-tired wagons ran lighter In all sensons and weather, and Insted longer than brond ones,there wonld be a motive for their retentioh and continuance, and n reason why thelr owners would objest to changing then, But just the contrary I3 trues thoy run honv- fer and wear out sooner than the broad tlres, In winter aund spring, when the streets aro covered with slush, snow, or mud, narrow tives pull altogether harder than brond ones, —not far from o half harder. On mud ronils in wet weathor there Is no_comparison bo- tween tha draft of the two kinds of wagons, 80 much lighteris the broad than the narrow, In any wenther, wliere tho streot Is not per- fectly smooth and hard, the broad whoels draw the lightest, and just in proportion ns tho rondl Is soft and bad tho narrow tires run heaviest. ‘The only imaginabla reason for the use and rotontion of narrow tlres Is force of hnbit, stupldity, unrefloction, and. sinmetul igno- Tance. Tue Tnmuse has ascertained from the prineipal wagonmakers In Chicngo that. the expense of changing the new tires of heavy road wagons into four-inch tires would bo about 892 per wagon, Lightor two-horse wagons would cost somathing less, perhaps not to exceed $5, A wagon thus changed will wear enouigh longer. to pay for this ex- ponse, and the saving In horsefleah, and the Inrger londs that may bo hauled on dirt or soft ronds, and the reduction of draft on =zl roads the year round will be worth to n teamster 81004 year at tho lowost caleuwln~ tlon.

River. Upon that canal and the INlindis River improve- meut the State of Ilinols has expended many ‘milltons of dolizrs, It will require about ono and o half million of dollars more to complote the improvement of the Ilii- nois Rivor, making that stream navigablo for steamors during the wholo season of nav- igatlon, The canal, which wns bogun before the country had become so populous and {ts productions so magnlfied as they are nt this time, 18 nlso complote to the extent of cstab- llshing the councetion with the lakes; but the canal needs enlargement—dveponing and widening—to meet tho presont demands of the commerce of the vast rogions sseking transportation to and from the Atlantie, “The canal whose interests It Is intended to pronigte by the Davenport Convention is to conneet the Mlssissippl River at Rock Island with the Illinols River at lenncpln, o dls- tanco of sixty-five mlies, Tho original estl- 1nate for this canal was that It should be alx feet deep and sixty fect wide on tho surface, The uxperience of the Iillnols & Michigan Canal, however, wiil point out the economy of making tho canal at lenst elghty feet wido and seven deop. 1lorse boats will not flgure hereatter on canals where steam can bo used | and trausportation performed In fleots of bnrges. ‘The looks should be of equal propor- tlons, ndmltting of tho largest class of boats, ‘I'his canal will of course neod to bo supplicd Wwith wator, which it Is proposed to furnish by a unvigablo feeder from Rock River, ator near Storling, thirty or forty -mlles long, Making all allowances for unforescen diffi- eultius, It Is safe to clalm that the canal (of proper dimensions) and feeder will not cost more than from ten totwelvemillions, When comploted, it will furnish to the Upper Mis- slssippl States direct, -continuous, speedy water communication with Lake Michigan +und thence to all the Atlantic porta, It will snublo a fleet of wheat and corn ladon barges loaving Minnesotn to doliver tholy londs ‘nt New York at n loss cost por ton and In half the timo It will now take to delliver the sama #ralu by way of New Orleans, and 16 will one nbte graln to be delivered from any of the polnts on the Mississippl River at New York for one halt what 1t now costs to dellver wheat by rail, Leaving out of view the practicablilty of tho canial and ita great ufllity, of which there ©un be no controversy, the immediate ques- ton s how te obtain the means to build It.
