While Conkling Ine New York is engaged In holding his spoilsmen together with the purpose of defeating the election of two Republicun Sevators from that State at this critica! tine, his Chileago spolls organ encotrmyes his course and insists upon pro- Jonging the fight for revenge nxilnst tho Administration of Gen. Garileld, who Hes prostrate vicfim to the desperation of the spoils system. ‘This spoils organ, fn an edi. torlal yesterday which ostensibly deprecates factional strife oyer the wounded Gurfleld, prints the followlng signiticant sentence: Tho uttack on tho President did not change the issue ’that excited it; it made his course toward the Now York Senators neither bettcr nor worse, Such‘an opinion, coming from a Conkling spoils organ, fs full of menace, In the first place, itis an ndmisslon iat the attempted assasination of the President was the result, of the factional war made upon hs” Adiin- istratlon by Conkling, “Cho attack yr tie President did nebelinge the Issue tint ex- cited it," says the spolls.grgan.

When it es Lo sitchin piss that, within a week after the President of the United States has beon struck down by 1 assasin’s bullet, Anewspuper publicly admits that a certain Issue uxclted the attack bub insists that the siting issue must be fought out nevertheless, Ibis yery evident that the spoils system ding a stronger hold -upon nv certuin class of people than hag generally been ‘believed.

In that event Vice-President Arthur would still be the presiding officer of tho Senate, and would have tho casting vote In the caso of n tle. But ff President Garfield. should dio before the Sendte could meet and elect, then there would be a deadlock In that borly over the cholce of n presiding ofli- cer; for Arthur, once President, would have no mofe rights Inthe Senate. ‘Thu most probable solution of stcti a conflict would be the chutce of Senator Davitt Davis, of LUII- nols, a8 8 compromise between the two chief parties, and Ue succession to the Presidential oftice would most Hkely fall upon him, with Vice-President Arthur alone between hin oud the place, In ense there should ben stubborn fight {nthe Sonate over the elec- tion of a Prestdent pro tem. the House would without doubt organize rapidly by theeleetion: ofa Republican Speaker, who would then be first In the Hno of sucecssion so long as the Senate should have no President.

REMOVAL OF HAILROAD-AUDITOR FRENOH In the abgorbing Interest which the public ling taken lie the Presldent’s condition over Sluco he was shot, the removalof Mr. French, tho Governmont Auditor of Pacftic Ratlrond Accounts, has very Hkely been ‘overinoked by most people, ‘Thu Secretary 6f the [nterlor served notice on French to quit on Wednes- day. ‘This was the result of the Presidqnt’s orders, for Frenel’s caso ‘had been consit- ereil ata Cabinet meeting hold thodfy b¢fore Gulteat fired, and the Presiderit then directed that French should be removed, ‘The Immediate cause of French’s removal was the publication of his letter to the Prest-. tlent of the Central Pacitie Raflroadl, in which he whitowashied all the transactions of that grasplug octopus, and announced his: inten- ton to procure a dismissal of the sults which the Government had brought against. it at lity own Austancs for cheathig the Govern- ment of what It owed. Tad there been nothing ¢lye hiv this episode than the fret that n Government officer had communi- cated the restilis of an ofjclal Investigation to the offcers of: 0 ratlroad company before submitting tiem to the Govyorninent and haying thom approved by his supertor, this uct of discourtesy alone would have beon suficient warrant for his removal. Butit seems that the clreumstances of tho ease created a suspicion of something. more thandiscourtesy, French's letter to the oficers of the Cuntral Pacific Road wasdated June 16 and first published In California on June 18 Yet It seems that Huntington, Vice-President, oft! ron, hud a copy of this letter li New York before June 4, and hanced ity contents to Leland Stanford, President of the corpuia-- tlon, on tha day he sailed for England, Stanford telegraphed its contents to hls stock-brokers In London, ‘The ‘suits which hud becn brought against the Company charged that bitsittess Ind been diverted from the main Hne (subsidized) to the un- subsilized Southorn Pacific, owned by the saing partics, in order to defraud the Gov- ernment of Ils dues under the¢Thurman law, and. aso on the ground that: tho Com- pany had declared dividends In ylolation of the Inw and out of moneys which onght to Nave ‘been paid over to tho Government, French's tetter, which was not sent to tho Government and was placed in tho hands of tho olllcers of the Compatiy toug before it was inule public, stated tho intention of hays ing these sults dismissed. ‘The result was that CentralPacitic stock suddunly jumped upsavgral points, and the’ inferénee fs that those who hut early knowledge of the con- tents of French's letter made a handsomd thing ont of tho oporation. In fact, the wholé allulr bore the uspect of a stoclk-jobbing scheine, Askte from the Inelting cause of Froneh’s removal, he was a inn who could well be spared from tho service In the piace he wis filling. The position -he held was Intended to assure iw .fulthful supervision of the xecounts of the Faclile rallronds and enfores thelr obligations to the Govern- mut. French put tho brondest —con- struction ‘pon the scope .of © his oftice and assumed to be a sort of Govurn- mount Railway Commissioner with a right to do as ho pleased. In. this eapaelty he was constantly exhibiting lis sympathy with the Poppressed” Paallle corporations, and missed uo opportunity to antagonize popular and Congressional etforts to secure o system of Goyernment regulation of: exorbitant charges of the Inter-State railroads, In many respucts he conducted hhinselé as if he weru in the pay of the railroads and notin the Government’s employ, Such aman in such a position could do the Government and the public great Injury, and it is a good thing. that he has been deprived of his opporturit- tles {n that direction. French himself, in commenting upon his removal, Is reported to’ Nave sid that “ with’ all his valuqble expe- Neneo and his thorough knowledge of: all matters pertaining, to the accounts of the Paeilie railroads’ indebtedness to the Goy- ernment, he may be driven over to the other alie,’—that Is, the Paeific Railroad side, Ue was probably betraying the Government with that view. ‘fhe railroads aro entirely wel- come to him, As onvof thelrnvowed agents, however, hy may net be able to render then as much service us if he were in the Goy- sermment’s employ. ee To the Eulltor af The Uhteaga “tridunes Cioaqu, July 8.—L have sean It repeaters. ely-assurted in Tite Tiuuxe that Seujtor Conk.
