Tae resignation by Senator Conk- ling of his high office as senator from New York, is a picce of childish petu- lancy in every respect worthy of its insolent.and arrogant author, Itisa fitting ending t0 a two-months contest for the capture of the presidential pre- rogatives, in‘which the selfish prefer- or from New York were insolently placed in the balance registered come ences of the sen; against the will of the chief execu- tive of this mation. The aet is startlng only on account of its audncity. Itisa bold defiance of public 6pinion and party sentiment. Tt is an insolent announcement to re- publicank that Roscoe Conkling serves his party only when the party through the chief exceutive relegutes its ap- pointing power in the Empire State to Roscoe Conkling. Viewed even in the light of the lame apelogy which the senator and his colleague tool have made to the New York legislature, it i the rosult of a petty squabble for patronage. Defeated in his selfish wishes the senator from New York tums his batteries upon his own party and at a most eritical moment in national affairs re- signs his post at Washington, and with the significant threat of desert- ing that party which has made him all that he is, appeals to the legislature of his state to indorse a course of action which is denounced by all good repub- licans throughout the country. Ttnow remains to be seen whether Roscoe Comkling is the repub- lican party. Upon the legisla- ture of New York which a a tew woeks ago so enthusiastically ratified the nomination of Wm. H. Robertson, devolves the duty of pass- ing judgment upon Senator Conk- ling's course. If that legislature views the affair in the same light in |y which it is looked upon by the party at large, they will administer lashing rebuke to a man who puts his own welfish preferences above party princi- ple and champions cause which has b it. - | from whose success would have made his Momination impossible, and whose efforts on his behalf were only put forward when the battle was already wore than half won. Evenat that tine, however, prophéts were not wanting who predicted that Senator Conkling’s party loyalty could only be maintained by liberal sops of patronage, and that any recog- tition by President Garfield of an_element in his own state which contained the great body of intelligent and influential republicans would be made at the expense of the senator’s foalty. The nomination of Wm. H. Robert- son proved the truth of these asser- tions.

This paper has no doubt of the verdict of the people of the United S the contest which i now nearing its culmination. es upon T Postoflice Department was pe- cuniarily self-sustaining from 1790 to 1852, and not oly that, but a source of revenue to the government, its surplus earnings previeus to the fiscal year of 1853 being nearly a million and a half of dollars, Since then it has paid its way in but one year— 1865 and the excess of its expendi- ture over its sincome during the last twenty-cight years has been about £114,000,000. It is quite_clear that this immense loss is not entirely due 0 the increased Jogitimate cost of the postal service during “the ~period named. The country has not enlarged in area since 1853, except by the pur- chase of Alaska, and while it has grown in population and been to a very considerable extent opened up to settlement by the railway system, those factors of national development domot satisfactorily account for the hugely augmented expense of trans- mitting and delivering the mails. A Woman's Paradise. Chicago Tribune. The Territory of Wyoming st bo a paradise for women, and that it is not the Mecca of all discontented female souls is a little remarkable. All wrongs are righted there. The tyrant man is shorn of his powers. The rights of women are respected. The lone, lorn creatures who are recit- ing or rostrums the abuses to . they are subjected, and who rend the air with their pitiful narratives, should emigrate there at once. A woman who has been there recently delivered a lecture in Albany, in the sourse of which she drew a glowing picture of the happy condition of woman. In Cheyenne the waiter-girls and cham- berny ot $25 to $30 a month, while men’s pay in_different employ- mentais only $18t0825.

For this she re- ceived £40 per month, while the dri- vers, who had to work much harder and to face the terrible winter storms B and expose their lives to the assaults of Indians, recei much smaller pay than this.

Tea. St. Louis Republican. There was_an unusually interesting tea-party at New York last Saturday, assembled to test the merits of some samples of tea raised on the farm of H. Jackson of McIntosh, Ga. Mr. Jackson brought the plants with which he made his experiment from India, where he lived for sixteen years; they were of the Assam varieties. The party invited to taste the samples met 1n the private office of a tea-importing firm, and the tea was made at the ta- ble where they sat, boiling water being poured on in the presence of all. The tea was pronounced very good— as good as the importing article, being superior to it in strength and flavor. The India or Assam teas are not well known in this country, as they are sent chiefly to England where they are used to mix with China teas of a lighter body. Commissioner LeDuc, wfio was a member of the party, stated that he had been offered the same price for the Georgia teas by the cargo that the best India teas fotch | in London. The Georgia tea costs 16 to 20 cents a pound to produce. Some | b apprehension was expressed that the much greater cost of labor in this country than in India and Chmna would 'be fatal to the cultivation of the plant here on an_extensive scale; but, in reply to this, it is asserted that machinery might be invented to do the work of drying, rolling and cur- ing, and thus materially reduce the | cost. ‘Almost Crazy. How often do we see the hardwork- ing father straining every nerve and muscle, and doing his utmost to_sup- port his family. Imagine his feelings when returning home from a hard day's labor, to find his family prostrate with disease, conscious of unpaid doc- tors’ bills and debts on_every hand.
