THE CONRLING AND GARFIELD WAR. ‘The news from Washington yesterdny brought the intelligenco that the President has withdrawn all the New York nomina- tlons which had been made at Senator Conk- ling's desire, and not yet acted upon. This menns that the Preshident, having beon amit- ten on both chegks by Lord Roscoe, will now striko back. K 1t 13 not aurprising that Presfdent Garfleld has decided upon an aggressive defonsive policy agninst Conklinglsm. 11is declsion i3 Indieativeof both grit and judgment. With the oxceptlon of snatching the Custom-House from Conkling's control, Ilayes’ reststance to Conklingism was half-hearted and ineffectual, 1le permlited Conkling to snub nim most seandnlously. Garfleld proposes to take o hand In the melce himself, 1o is right, and the Awmerlean peoplo will admire the pluck which has dictated this course, and wiil stand by him in any tumult it may procipitate. Conkling’s lato speach before tho eaucus of thie Republican Senators showed him to be at once ungrateful and disloyal to the Re- publienn party. Fvery rensonnble conces- ston hag been mado to him after his defeat in tha Chicago Convention. ‘The nomination for Vice-President was surrendered without aprotest to ono of Nis closost friends. The incoming Administration appointed Couk- ling men to high pinces, A Coukling man was selected ns Assistant Senntor from New York, Itlooked forn time as though Conk- ling was to have everything hosaw fit to exact. But thore was one concesslon which Pres- Ident Garfictd was determined not to make. He was determined that Conkling should not run the New York Custon-House for his per- sonal benefit. To that end he refused to vermit Lord Rosecoe o dictate the nomina- tion olther of the Secretary of tho Tronsury or the Collector of New York, It was this -which exoited Conkling’s wrath, Conkling would be satistied with nothing but tho Custom-1louss, 1le disowned all the other appointments of Now York men, 1le desorted nll his frionds who had been nominated. 1lecalled n halt on the publle business, and decreed that thera siopld be no confirmations until the monopoly of the New York Custom-1louse should be reposed In his hands, 1l declared in effect that tho Republican party might go to the devil un- less he woro permittod to run the great bulk of the enstoms service of the Nation without intorforence from tho Natlonal Adimlnistra- tion, and without accountability to anybody. -1t 1s tima to puta check upon the effront- ery and rocklesness of this New York:' bully, It Conkling 1s detorinlned to make war upon the Administration, tho Adminis- tration may as well make war upon hhn. ‘The loss of patronago will be Conkling's de- struction. Men aro bound to him -only through his power. If ho.doesn’t cars a continental nbout the Republicnn party thero is no. renson why the Republican party should care n continental nbout him., In- decd, If he s willing to sacrifico tho Ad- minlstration and the party to a susplelous and uncompromlsing deslro of his own to run n Natlonal Institution for personal ends,' the sooner Iis power shall be undermined the batter it will bo for the Adminlstration, the Republican party, and the country, THE POSTAL REVENUE3 Ono lesson which tho star-route frauds should teach Congress 13, that hereafter the vostal service should be compolled to bo self-sustnining, The practlce has been for wmany yeurs {o appropriato tho entire Incomo of the PPost-Ofiice Dopartment for thatservice, and then to appropriate from $3,000,000 to $7,000,000 annually to meet a deticienoy. This “deliclonoy” Is created In mavance of, tha approprintions, and 18 no longer necessary. Congress Tins lieretofors votod from three to saeven willlons of dollars more money thay it knew ‘the postal service would turnish, and then voted out of the Goneral Troasury o swin suftigjent to meet tha excess of expondi- ture authorized, ‘The recent revelutlons of the star-route business show the uses to which theso extra milllons of dollars havo been applied, and how the postal service has been mado the cover for the most shamoless and scandnlous robbery, ‘I'he vogular income from the snle of post- age stamps, postal-cards, and some smpll teims Is now over §83,000,000 o year, 1In 1880, before the Brady system broke down, the ox- ponditures wero avor §30,000,000; the oxtrav. agance, wastofulness, and fraud of the mans agomont thorefore exhausted not only all the legltimate revenues of the serylce, but ulso more than threg willlons additlonal woney drawn from the Treasury, It hns been shown very clearly that by striking fram the list of expenditures for 1880 ‘all the fiaud- ulent cantracts and expenditures madg un- der the stur-route munagementthe ordinary revenues of the Departniont would have been amply suflicient to covor all of its legitimate expenditures, many of which might even have been largely requced. | The postal servica ls now eomplete, Tho wmall Is carrlod to svery inhabited part of the country, and tho rovenue grows with the growth of tho country, It dous not follow that becanse thero js g daily matl betyvoen Boston and Yuriland, or three mails n day between New York and Phitadelvhin, that ke walls should be witabllshed bstween all other cities and villages throughout the Btates and Territories, It does not follow that when,under contract for o weekly wmall between two mountaln or desort vile Iages In Arlcona, an average of two or four letters nre carrled each way each week o o cost of . §10 per letier, that that servige ahall be Inoreased to a dally mall, the pouches go- lug pmpty five days out of slx, aud that the " compensation should be fucreased to $100 pur lotter. Howe yenrs ugo Cungress voted cowms steamer, and by nctual count the compensa- tion equaled §28 per lotter but Congress re- pealed that fraud after it was exposed, and Ietters nro earricd on that route now at the regular rate of two cents cach, The Government shiould not run the postal mervico with ' view to profit; but with an annual revenua of 849,000,000 n year, and the growing addition theroto, that sum should be expended In making tho sorvica na banofictal to the whole country as pesstble. ‘The transportation of malls by horses, and stages, and wagons Is passing ont of uso; tho menns of transportation are becoming clicapor every year, and the service and the ravenue aro incrensing prorortionately, The service may how be safely feft tooxpand with Its own Incrensing rovenues. Every dollarof surplus rovenue shauld be applicd to per- feoting, extending, aud improving tha sorvice, and this ean ba done, the most wisely, the most expeditiously, and themost ccononleal- 1y by giving to the Department il itarevenues and limiting the expenditures to the actual Income. Inthis, way the country will have the ns- surauce that tho postage ou every lotter will boexpended for postal scrvice, and that no portion of that ravenue will bo taken with- out servico and divided botweon confeder- aterd contractors and coperative distributers of the publie monoy, Every representative will find that he ean best promote the inter- est of hiis conatituents by Insisting that the postal revanue shill bo expended lo gitimate- 1y for postal services, p———— THE OHINESE TREATIES, Tho ratitlcation of the Chinesa trenties will not place any immediate limitatlon upon Chiness omigration to tho United States, butonly complate the international ngroe- ment thiat such emigration may be rogulated ‘and limitod by the United States Govern- ment, When Congress passed the bl ltmite ing tho Chinese coming to this country to fifteen In any one ship I’resident Hoyos vetoed It on tho ‘ground that this Govern- ment had no right under the existing troaty to place any restrlction upon lnmigration from Chinn, Then the Amorlenn Commlis- sloners were appointed to proceed to Chinn and negotinte a now treaty which would ud- mit of auch legisiative action. 1t will not be till aftor Congross shall have passed a law to this ond, and the Chineso Government shall be notified of its terng, that the immigration ean beactually checked, 1tis important to have the treaty ratified, ns it provides for an exchange of ratitica- tlons at Peking within one year from tho 17th of November, 1850,~the date on which tho treaty was signed. If {t hnd been prssed over nt the present session of the Bennto it would have falled under its own conditlons, and it is not likely that any other arrange- ment nearly 80 favorable could have been secured another thne trom the Chinesa Gov- ornment, At the'thno the treaty was ne- gotlated tho Chinese authorlties apprehonded war with Russin, and desired to establish the most friendly reintions with other Gov- ornments, Now that danger s passad they would not boe disposed to make so much con- cession ng they mnde last November, It is probable, moreover, that the terms of the treaty In regard to emigration will enable Congress to do all that s necessary In order tn stom the flood of Chinamen aud coolies into this country., Tho emigration treaty provides: (1) That the Govermuont may regulato, limit, or sus- pend, but not absolutely prohibit, the coming of Chineso Inborers in o reasonablo’ manner, (2) That Chinese subjects coming to. the United States as teachers, students, mer- chants, or travelors, as well ny the Chineso Inborers who are now in the country, shall be allowed to come and go as thoy plense, and shall be vrotected In all the rights and privileges nccorded fo the subjects of the most favored mnation, (3) That the = Governmént shall dovise mienns for the protection of the Chiucse now In the United States whenover they shall be threatencd with Hli-trentment at tho hands of nny other persons, (1) That the United States’ Governmont shall communi- cateto the Government of Chinn tho logls- Iativo moasures that shall be adopted, and that China shall have tho rixhit to onter n protest against unreasonable conditions with reference to n yeadjustment. 1t Is fair to conclude that tho Ohinese Gov- ermmont will bo satisfiod with tho limitation which wns agreed upon by Congress—viz.: that not wore than fitteon shall bo landed from nny one ship, This measure had ppssed Congress before nogotintlons were openod for n modificatlon of the oxisting treaty, mnd 1t was equivalent to n notico to the Chinese Government of what would most likely bo done under the authority of n now treaty, It tho Government of Chinn hnd not boen will- mg to nccopt such terms it wonld probably have refused to ngres to n new treaty. Ilenco there I3 rendon to hopo that, with the beginning of noxt year or shortly theronfter, there will be a speeific lmitatlon upon Chineso Immligration that will protect the country from an invasion which, In-fifty years from now, would othorwlse increnso the Chinese population of this country to dl- wensions equal to the Irlsh population, A CALL ON THE HON, MR, HUBBELL. It s In order for the llon. J. A, Hubbell to rlsa and oxplnin, The Ion. J, A, 1ubbell {8 n momber of Congress from Northorn Mlchignn, During the Inte Presldential campaign he acted ag Chalrman of tho Uongressional Executlve Conunlttos, with hendquarters at Washing- ton, and was espeoinlly chargod with ralsing ways and neans for the Iepubllcan couse, 1o I8 the gentleman to wham Qen, Garfield's letter was ddressed whigh Wskéd Brady to glva “all the assistancoe possible,” Gen, Gurfiold wroto this letter In answer to one 1lubbell had wrltten him, The presumption 18 that Hubbell asked some sueh lottor from Qarlield,~perhapssuggrested the very phrase- ology,~without oxplalniug or hintlng thut there was any purpose to blackmall postal coptractors or to give them any lmplled promiseof protection in any corrupt practices In which they might bo enguged, Now that Gen, Garfiold’s lotter haa boen made pubils, it is Incumbent on Mr, Hubbell to glve full particulars as to the clroumstances wnder whioh that letter was written and transmitted to him, Filrst, it will be well for Mr, Hubbell to ex- plaln how Gen, Gartield's lottor, which wag private and confidential, got outof the fore mor's hands and into the publle prints. DId ha himselt furnish a copy of It for publicas tion? If s0, how doos ho justify so Hagraut n misuse of & communieation marked pri- vate? And what was the motive thay brompted ki to take this unusual’ gourse, or what purpose hud he to subserve? 1f he didnot glve out the lettor Llmself, or olrous Inte it around amonk men in such a manuer that it wus vrotty sure o find Its way Into rint, how did 1t coms to be made publicp il ho keep n.copy and give Lrady the opikinal?

Garfleld asking the Jatter to write the ouo that Hubbell hus ment as to the subsequent disposition of tinrfiold's reply. Nobody dontbts that Brady and Wia gang aro o shrewd sot of fellows, It 13 notorions that they were lnylng their blans durlng the Prestdontinl eampnlgn, and from the time of tho eleation to the Innuguration, to retain thoir hold upon the Post-Oftice De- partiment and thefr control of tho “star- ronte" service, 1tisby no moeans lmprobe ablo that they concelved. the ldea of per- suading Gen, Garfleld to commit hingelt un- conselonsly to an obllgation for campalgn nssistanco in order to give them an influence over him if he should be elocted Prosldent and discovor. tha robberies thoy wers porpe- trating. Mr, 1lubbell’s business was to ralso funds; he wna appolnted by the Itepublican wmembers of Congreas for that purpose; and, At informed by Bindy that o cortain amoting of funds would ve forthicoming upon Gar- fiold’s request, ho would know how toobtaln sueh yoguest without Infoyming the gandi- date, aven If ho knew himself, that the money was to come fromn aelique of contractors,. 1t .would be very natural for a eandidate to sk nssfstance from a rich and inflyential Indi- antan like Brady, 1 told that such n request. would contributa notably to Republican sue- .cesy in his Stute. Jlhe letter u'whieh Hub- bell convoyed such tuformution will help to roveal just how much reason Gardleld had to suspeet that he was asking n contribution from corruption funds, nnd henco it s Mr, Ilubbeil’s duty to publish his own letter without delny, It Is o very common practico for men who consuiro ‘to plunder the Government to con- tend that the plunder wad used for the bene- fit of the party In power and for oloctioneer- ingpurposes. - This was ntrick of the whisky- thieves which they expected would sccure thom Immunity from prosecution, Tho attempt of the “star-route” ring to pur- suo tho same tacties will only serve to incrense tho suspicion of corruption in thelr trausnetions, But It Is not caleulntod to abate public censure nor to save them fromn purauit. The Presldent has glven the very Dest answer fio conld possibly make to any charge of Implleation with the contraotors’ ring, eltber directly or Indirectly, by insti- tuting the Investigation Into the radeality, by domnnding Brady’s resignation, and by taking stops to reformn this branch of the service. He need apprehend no public susplelon of his own sctions so long as he shall continue the prosecution of the ring which he began so promptly. In the meantime Mr. Hubbell must come to the front nnd tall all he knows about the transnetion to which Qnrfield’s lot- ter refers If he wvould avert suspiclon that he knowlngly lent nimselt to the purposo of procuring & dpmaging letter from Garfield to ald the ring, THE MISFORTURES OF AN IMPRESARIO. . Do Beauplan, Into manager of the Do Buauplnn opern troupe, whose performances here will bo well remembered, 18 ontitled to somo commiseration. Certalnly hiislot Isnotn happy one, There are very fow Impresarlos who aclilove ultimato success, but, asa rule, it takes somo yonrs to strlp them aml make them objocts of public sympathy, ‘Chey havo their thue of white vests, swallow- talls, kid gloves, and champagne, Then thoy become more unsorupulous' In attire und haunt the box-ofiice, anxiously wateh- ing the sules, Then they grow seady and smoll of beer. At Inst they drop out of sight, and * memory lsthe only frlond” their “grlof can call its own.”” This, however, as we have sald, Is ordinarily & down-grade that takes tline to accompilsh, Poor Da Beauplan, howover, -has gone from the top to tho bottont In oud’ senson, ‘and comes out smaller from the retfoty end of tuohorn than any of his predecessors, De Beauplan, being the son of the Dircotor of Fino Arts In Parls, and having some spare funds, aspirod to become an oporatio man- ager. 1le organized the troupe in Parls, aud 1t Is only just to say that it was a'large one and In many respeets o good one, 1lis first uove with 1t was successful, o nponed in the French Clty of Naw Orleans, and made soma money. 1Ils next move was not n good one apparontly.

It could hardly be called a marringe of affection, for Mwme. Ambra liad been many timos married before, accord« Ing to report, and hnd sustained irregular relations with no less n Royal fdlet than the King of llolland. Meanwhile the troupe left New Orleans and successlvely vislted Cineinnatf, Chicago, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, and Now York. Troubles rapldly followed upon the hoels of cnch otljor, A Inrge partof tho monuey made in Now Or- lenna was squandored in that eity in banquets nand festlylties, The remainder was lost be- fure tha troupo got to Chicago., By tho time they ronched New York, Do Benuplan was so hoavily In arrears to artists, chorus, and orchieatra that he couldn't pay them, and they wouldn't sing, and tho bubble collapsed, loaving tho poor devlls stranded on n forelgn shore, without money, without friends, and without tho means to got home ngain. In six monthis’ thme, Do Beauplan had lost his money and fonnd himself without n troupe. But this was not all, Besldes huving o wife, DeBeauplan had o tenor, M. ''ournle, amd the tenor had n wife, who formerly was o ballet dancer, From the ovidence of mem- bers of tho troupo it wounll appear that tho undying devotion of Ruoul to Vulentinand the tender sentiments exprossed by Rhada- mes to Aida were not nltogathor stage plot- ures, exhibited for the dellght of the pub- Je, but studios in real lite, What Do Bedu. plun’s views mny hinve boon In regard to the mattor 1t s Impnasibla to nssert, as the un.

Sonator Davis of West Virginin, in tho debato on tho Mahonoe business, clntmed that West Vieginia was not a repudiating Stato. In fact, he could, if- he did not, clalm that there wns mgt n bond of the Btate outatanding, nor any interest due on one. In Tact, West Virginia never had legally a debt. Nevertheless the fact remalns that West Vir- glnla was part of the State of Virginia, which cronted n debt which now, with {iterest, amounty to nearly $40,000,000, aud the State of West Virginla has never offared to pay any part thereof, The same Dewgeratle Con- stitution, whilo striking out the previous ad- mlssion of debt and provision for paying her portion, Inserted n clause that the State of West Virginia should never be suel in any Stato or United States Court. So the cred- 1tors of West Virginlp are debarred from any legnl redress, and must wait until Senntor Davls, who awna.about onc-halt the real proporty in the State, shall Induce his ten- antry to voluntarily tax thomselves to pay thelr honeat debts, Tur new Czap I3 “bottled up” at hig country soat at Gutschinn, nbout twonty wiles from St. Potersburg, where his futhor quvo tho grand entertainmeont to the German Genornls 10 1871, aftor thoy hna dofeated tho Frenol, Ho 18 nfrald to romain in bls Capital, or to stir out of his chateau at Gatschina.
