As It becomes moro and moto probable every day that Mr. Conkling's sensational resignation will resultin his permanent re- tirement from the Senate, and perhaps from nll public life, itis In order to estimate tho relative penalties and advantages of this new order of things. Hnd Mr, Conkling died and thus leftavacancy in the Senate, tho pre- valling system of public eulogy would have necorded him in somewhat fulsome terms all the brilliancy which his friends have claimed for htm, but no doubt would have been felt in any quarter about the continued wwelfaro of the Government or the prolonged prosperity and usefulness of the Republican party. Butlf Mr. Conkling gus vut of nub- Ne life like a flash in the pan, and after a few years shall only be remembered vividly by men whom ho has befriended or offended, the question nrises whether he has been so great aman as has been almost universally con- ceded. People will begin tosearch back among the records for ovidences of any preponder- ating Intlueuce he has exerted upon tho vitul questions of the day, A good many persons who have submitted to the general admira- tion given the ox-Senator will begin to won- ‘| der whether pretense, sham, and arrogance had not served him in the place of great statesinauship, At all events, it will be dit- ficult to recall any historical public measures with which Mr, Conkling’s names identitied ns tho orlginatur, ormanizer, or leader. His most conspicuous appearances hnve certainly been in connection with party tactics or party intrigues. But even if it shallstill be conceded that the Senato hug lost In Mr. Conkling o. brilliant, if not always a useful, momber, thore fs very marked compensation which might cover a moro important loss. What that gain is was very pointedly stated in a few words. by Judge Robertson !n his response to the popu- lar serenade with which his confirmation ag Collector was celebrated, In tho courso of his remarks, Robertson sald: 19 popular approval of tho Prealdent’s de- termiuntion to majutaln the constitutional right hus been such ng was never Youchsnfed to uny other President, I vonture to say that thore fs no uelghborbood within the United States a majority of whoso juhabltunts ave not in full aevord with tho Presidonton that queinon, Tho wbolition of tho walt rule,.tho defeat of tha third-term project, tho establishment of tho principle of district represcotation ut Chicaxo, und the reailirmunce at Washington today of the constitutional right of tho Presidunt to nom Inute to the Senate and te have such nomination considered by the Sunnte, ure bopetal evidences oC tha duwnimg of wu brighter day th poll- tes, when Indepondence of thought and inde- pendence of avdon muy bo exercised within the purty by any tuyal momber thercot without cere tuinty of Instunt douth beneuth tue wheels of a politicul Juygernsut, Four propositions aro correctly stated fn the above paragraph, the affirmation of any of which, we belleve, would abundantly atono for Mr, Conkline’s permanent cisnp- pearance from public Ite. 1. Mr. Conkling's retirament under tho present conditions signatizes the abolition of the “unt rule.” This plirase is simply a euphemism for “Boss rule.” Itmeans that whenever a single polltten! leader Ino State shall, by reason of his activity and ingenuity in manipulating offigal patronage, attain to the control of primaries and caucuses to the virtual suppression of the populargentiment, then the people must accept the situation, and there shall be no appeal from tho flat of such loader. ‘There was an cifort to lmpose this sort of leadership over the Republican party In sovernt States, and notably In three. Ono of the gentlemen who acted In thishigh capacity ylelded to the verdict that want against him, and has made himsell stronger and more popular than ever by dolng so, Another of the Senatorinl triumvirate met & humiliating defeat lu a Legislature which he regarded os a creature of his own, and found himsolf powerless to dictate tho selcotion of an Assistant Sena- tor, The third member of the conclave—Mr. Conkling—succeeded up to the point of run- ning the Prusttent of the United States, and, fulling In that, has retired ina boyish hulk, Hence tho abolition of tho “anit rule” or “Poss rule” is Indicated by Mr. Contling'’a resignation. It cannot be restored by his re- electton without au appeal to thewhule peo- ple of the country, & The defent of the third-term project la emphasized and made cartaln by Conkilng's retirement. If Mr, Conkling was unable to qustain hliagelt he will scarcely be @ success: ful advocate of a dyctring upon which the Republican party has already placed Ms stamp of disapproval. It has boou recently stated upon the authority of Senator Logan that Gen, Grant has abandoned. all Intention of again becoming # candidate for President, So we think he had done before, but he was persuaded agafust his own Incllnations and convictions by offclous friends, The dis- placement df ox-Senatur Conkling will prob: ably remove oue of the chief promoters of tho project to try the Jssue of third-termisin over agaly. , 8 ‘fhe establshmont of the principle of district representation at Chicago has re- eclyod a new and Important confrmation in Conkling’s confesston of defeat, Cynkllug lod the fight ugalnst it, and Garileld for St. Conkling was beaten tn the National Conven- ton, but carried the strugele to the sent of Government. ie walntayned that Robertson should not be gppoluted to oillce, becaune the latter hud been one of those who strug- gied for the rights of his-district against “Boas” dictatlen, Tho President stood firmly by Robertson and by tho principle tn- volved tn the struggle, Conkllng was strong enough in intrigue to bring nbout a dead- Jock Ju the Senate upon another pretext, and delay a final settlement over two months, But he was not strong enough to overpower the President, nor to break down the prine ciple, and so he not anly Kaye up the contest, but also his further opportuntty for fighting, 4, Tho vindication of the Preaident’s con- stitutjonal right te noiuinate the excoutive oficara of the Government is nut lessdeolsive nor leas valuable than the other Incldenta of Conkling’s retirement. A struggle for.tha preservation of thia right was waintalned in a fegble and half-hearted sort of way under the Jagt Administration, but the assertion thereof by President Garfield has boan so prouuynced aud go triumphant that thy ques tion will not need to be tosted again for many years, Thero has been no encronchinont upon the rightof tho Senate to refuse Its con- sent to nominations; but the privilege of making tho nominations tn the first Instance hasbeen confirmed tn the Excentive, where the Constitution lodxes It, Tho relative powers of the President and the Senate aro now well deflned, and’ tho distribution of patronage will not ben thorn in the site of the present Administration at least. Mr. Conkimg may or may not be redlected to the seat In the Senate which he lias aban doned with such palpable treachery to his party; but, In olthor ovent, tho above propo- sitions have been permanently established. ——see FROM ENGLAND AND GERMANY—STILL THEY COME. On the Oth inst. 6,320 immigrants were Innced nt Castle Garden, New York, Of the 109,000 Smtnigrants Innded in this country during the first four months of the current year, 59,000 came from Germany and 24,000 from England, Scotland, and Ireland. Only 1,098 came from France. France !3a Repub- Ne, aud Frenchmen seem to be contented at home, England and Germany ore constitu. tional monarchies, and the ‘subjects’ of those Governments do not seem to be con- tented atall. 1n the course of a Into debate in Parliament on the Land bil! John Bright sald: “If grent flect assembled at Cork or Galway offered freo passage to the whole population of Lreland, it, was probable all— certainly that half—would find their way to the United States, which opened thelr doors to overybudy. Ile should be sorry to see then go, but, though emigration would be a hardship to the parents, it meant the deliverance of tho children from poverty and suffering,” ‘The tmnitgration statistics above quoted Indicate that Mr, Bright might have ineluded England within the scope of his remark, for of the 24,000 Immigrants from the United, Kingdom 10,574 came. from En- gland, while only £1,006 came from Ireland. Accordlug to Mr. Bright, nothing but a want of menns prevents “the whole population of Ireland—certalnly half’*—from quitting the country of thofr nativity, and the statistics show that this year about as many English- men ag Irishmen are deserting tho fatherland. Meanthine, tho Engilsh Inwmakers aro disput- ing over the proposltion whether tho distress of tho tenantry of Ireland shall be mitigated ? But it does not seem to occur to them that tt is necessary even to attempt to placate tho fleeing tenantry of England preper. Mr Bright evidently has no hope of a substantial alleviation of the miseries of tho Irish people, for he says “Emigration means the dellveranco of the children from poverty and suffering.” Butin contemplating tha misforturies of Iroland he loses sight of the wretched condition of tho English work- ingelnsses. ‘Tho grand difiiculty with tho British Liboral party fs, that Iti too liberal for England and not liberal enough for Ire- land, It realizes tho Injustice, not only of the Jand laws of Ireland, but of the wholo Brit- ish land system, But It Jacks tho moral conr- age to demand what it fully believes to be right,—tho ellinination of the feudal element from the Government. It hesitates to attack the land system at the root, because its de- struction necessarily Involves tha fall of the House of Lords, ‘Tha shadow of the Peor- uge sooner or Inter falls upon every Liberal lequer,—Gtadstone is about to be ennobled!

Under ils direction socioties have been formed at Borlin and ut Dosseldorf to direct enigration toSouth Amerlea.

But the German ‘emigrants da not go to South Ameren; they come here, And thore is poetic Justice In this fact, for here they ara destined to strengthen the hands of the most powerful of Germany's Industrial compet- ltors. ‘There ts no peace for the wicked rulers of the Old World, A MONARCHNOAL. EW OF OUR SITU- ‘10N. ‘The Patt Mall Gazette takes a lugubrious view of vur present political complication, {f the situation cun be algnitied with such o term, It isa view which has been taken many tinea bofore by English papurs and by the English poople, who sea or felgn to suo iu every political Jurry the Indications of the isruption of our system of government, ‘The Gazette, commenting upon the recent deadlack In the Sonate, and the subsequent resignations of Senators Conkling and Platt, anys: ‘Tho incident isa highly disagreeable symptom As showhly (ho tinportunes which patronage and place have attracted to thenselves in tho Hoe public, There scoms to bo no longer any statud- manehipin the American Sennte, Tho men in power th tho Republic seck no longer great and ofty alma, but give tholr talents to the ignoble work of rewarding thelr friends and punishing thelr enemies in order to prolong tholr own oitlolal power, From these premises, the Guzetto draws the mournful Inference that “henlthy pollt- (eal {fo is impossible in the United States, and grave porlla awalt the country in the future,” So faras the premises are concerned, it’ might be answered that tha “ incident” showg tho amatt dexree of tmportance which {a beginning to be attached to patronage and place, and that if the fact that thore is no longer any statesmanship In the Amorican Sonate Is fraught with so much danger, a sliutlar atuto of thingy In tho House of Lords (the English Senate), which cannot furnish Acompatent leader to tuke the place uf Dis- raoll, shows that the Kuglish Government is Bolug to the “demnition bowwows.” So far as ita inference is concerned, thero is room for more extended comment. ‘The Gazette wakes a radical mistake in not faking into account the most Important factor In American politics, and te lamense Influonce,—the maas of the American people, tholr fiwportance, their Intelligence, > aul thelr power. It. regards pollttelans as tho party and pollticat leaders as the polley and the program of tie party, lustead of the pyo- colonies; if it wore approprinting other pet plo, who make and unmako polleles and leaders with equal case, The people, how- ever, rarely assert themselves except In great émergencles.

They have vast tracts of country to reelnim, farina to make, now villages and towns to build, new ronds to construct, now mines to open, schools and churchos to ostablish, and all tho varled resources of a now coun try to develop, which wero long azo devel- oped In Great Britain, To accomplish this vast work requires the constant tnbor of every man, 80 that they have little timo to give to politics, beyont golng to the polls and voting, ‘The grent mass of the people do not even attend primary elections, but allow others to make the nominations, and then use their own discration in voting for them, Itfsonly In great emergencies that they stop fos na time nnd exert thelr tre- inendous power, and they always do it with success, From the time tha Government was formed down to the presont, thoy have repeatedly risen anid suppressed the danger- ous schemes of pollticians, [t 1s not so remote that tho Gazette will forget it thought that this Government was going to pleces when Southern State-rights politicians attompted to enforco the or- tinance of accession, but it will remember that the people (not an army) rose and put the Rebellion down, though it was gigantic iin extent and had the moral sympathy and material aid of England horseif, The saino results which the people tive accomplished in National matters, thoy have accomplished over and over agalu in State and munielpal affairs, whenever the conspiracies of plotting politicians and ringsters manifested the slightest Indication of daugor. ‘Tho people are now confronted by an energency where thoy are again asserting themselves. A tendency belng manifested to build up a Chinese wall between them and Congress, 80 that they may not have access to the Inttor, or Interfere with the schemes of a ring of politicians hended by such men as Conkling, who are bent upon manip- ulating placo and patronage without refor- ence to the popular wish and opinion, the people havo risen and. are taking tho wall down with a rush, They have made thelr voice heard through tho press, through incetings and petitions, nnd, once heard, tho volce is always respected. As itis not pos- sible for the people of New York to vote directly upon the Issue of Shelr approval of Conkling's course at present, they have done the next best thing, and notified the Legls- Intura of tholr wishes, and it would bea bold body of inen who would run counter to thom. As It {s possible toneaualnt the Presi- dent with their wishes, they havo done so, nud he stands by them, ‘That {a all there Is in tho situation, and the Pall Matt Gazette need have no fears as to tho reault of the present sltuation or Its tut- ure bearings. If this Government wero en- gaged In sqneozing and bankrupting Its plo’s territory and dealing unjustly by thom; if it were shivering with fear at the prospect of foreign Invaslon; if it were grinding Its farming population down into tho dust, evicting them from thetr homes, and driving thom to starvation, there would be some oc- ension for the Gazette to tail of future dan- gers. When this Government drifts Into the brenkers, it will be for sumething more daa- crous than tho whimg ofa politician or the Appointment of u Cugtom-House Collector, —— THE APPROACHING SAENGERFEST. itis possible that the Amerlean peoplo In this clty are not attaching that degreo of importance to tho Siingerfest which will bo held here about six weeks henco that it deserves. Thore Is hardly any need of com- mending ft teour German citizens, for they have entered Into the project heart and soul and are working with awill to make it a success, actuated thereto not alone by tholr love of music and socinl cheer, but by thelr pride Ina distinctively national institution, Tho ovent already gives Indications of belng unusually extensive as well as interesting.

From achoral organization numbering 1,500 volces, and nu orchestra of 150 pleces, something unusual may certainly be expected. In the selection of soloists the managers may well be congratu- lated. It Is not every day that five such artists as Mine, Peschka-Loutner, Misa Annle Loulso Cary, Mr. Candidus, Mr, Rem- mortz, and Mr. Whitney ara grouped to- gether, Mine, Leutner is an artist who has Jong held the first rank In Europe, not ass mere pretty voenlist ike Gurster, but aso alnger of largo and dignified style, capable of appearing Sv tho greatest works, whilo Mr, Candidus, as n tenor, has made for himself a ahinilar reputation by his triumphs on the Continental operatic stage, Ue went from this country to Europa not without an en- viable reputation asin singer of raro ability, nui since that thne hag. matured and grown into an accomplished artist.
