THE HOME RUN, Auaxy, June 19.—Never before in the history of New York have the members of the legislafure been so glad to get away from the capitol as they were yesterday. The week has closed without a step of progress hav- ing been made in the seMatorial con+ test. So far-as the different candi- dates are concerned they fstand exact- ly where they did on nday. Not one of them {nu either gained or lost a vote, if it be supposmi( 1 the voters were present to-day. CONKLING TA Frida; .\'cni? ConkBng, before leaving for New York, up:ly admitted thatat the present stage of the conflict he cared less for the mere matter of the success or failure in being returned to the United States senate than he did for one other matter, He stated with the utmost apparent sincerity that now the question of his re-election had dwin&]ed into real insignificance in his estimation, -compared with another vitally important feature of the con- test, which had but lately arisen, and arisen because compelled to arise. He said that the question of the return to the senate of any man, howsoever im- portant or howsoever valuable to a party, was igsignificant in importance to the people to the question of whether the election of any man to the United States senate could be en- compassed by ¢ - ° CORRUPT PRACTICES OR OPEN BRIBERY. The senator said that owing to his position in Washington and the oner- ous dutigd which thd nature of that position'imposed ‘upon him, durine a ong peripd of years in which the ac- tions of the American Heoplv had been greatly changed as well asaugmented, he hd, by the necessities of the cir- cumstances in which his duties as a senator placed him, been drawn more or less away from: a close view of pub- lic affairs, so far as they related to immediate political practice.,> On that account he considered that the pres- ent senatorial contest had for him been ‘a_ fortunate occurrence; in 80 far ‘as it introduced him into ;’pmnfi activity ih™ a “¢tntfoversy in which he ,was enabled to see for himself just what the difterences were between the influences that surround- ed and controlled political activities and the influences which controlled the same political activities at the time when he last took an energetic part in “|a real active political canvass. At that time he found that questions of patriotism and statesmanship were paramount throughout the entire re- public; at the present time to his amazement he had found #nd had it forced upon his conviction that ques- tions of statesmanship and patriotism had so far been thrown into the back- ground as to have become entirely sec- ondary, as well as entirely subservient, to the mere question of personal in- terest and personal aggrandizement. IN THP OLD DAYS, old because 8o soon past, although but a short time ago—inactive politicians thought only of their country, and what would benefit it, but now the statesman who had lived and acted as if the old influences were still alive, was amazed to find and to have forced upon him that entirely new in- fluences had come into existence and attained the supreme control of party politics. These new influences were the very ones against which the foun- ders of the republic had labored with all their might'and with all their pat- riotism to erect complete protection. They were THE POWERS OF CORPORATE POWER, similar in_their power for evil, and Taxes Paid, Rents Collected, Deeds, Mort%%ges, and all Kinds of al Hstate Documents Made Out at Short Notice, This agency does strictly a Brokerage business.

Corporagions differed from the kingly tyranny claimed by the odious king of England, only in the fact that they were compelled to acknowledge that they derived their very creation and their prerogatives from the assent of the people originally. They exceed that tyranny in 8o far as they acted as if they were entirely irresponsible to the power which created them. To-day in the American republic things had so far changed that corpo- rations acted as if they were the ab- solute powers and the people the mere subjects of oppression.

Kobertson went home on the 2:40 p. m, train yesterday and returned to- night at 9 p. m. Bradley andSessions both remained in Albany over Sunday. It isex- pected that the hearing of the bribery charge against A. B. Barber before the grand jury on Monday will be quite sensational and scandalous. A SIDE WHEELER, Ex-Vice President Wheeler's arrival is regarded by the half-breeds as sig- nificant. He says in an interview that he is not & in any sense a candi- date for senator, that he is in favor of Depew and will use his best efforts to elect him. He thinks one stalwart and one administration senator should be elected. His idea was that the should Conkling or Platt be accepted by the administration wing. .

The hydraulic miners of California held meetings in several localities to rejoice over the order of the supreme court, which now appears to have been incorrectly reported, by the omission of an important clause, which leaves the injunction against hydraulic min- ing in full force, and the rejoicings were consequently premature. postetrtd oo ot ] st Grant and the Banks, Natlonal Associated Piess. CHicaGo, June 19.—-Gen Tom Young has made the following state- ment in answer to what was said in the Grant interview a few weeks ago in conversation in [y New York hotel, The subject of General Grant's financial situation came up, and in the party was General Young and also a newspaper man. Some one said the general was presi- dent of a national bank, and the in- ference was that he got a good salary. General Young had not heard of that, but was aware that General Grant was & director of the bank. Another gentleman said that he was alsoa di- rector in the Marine bank, and the newspaper man got . the conversation, which he undertook to report without notes, mixed up, and attributed to Gen, Young nl{ that was said about Grant and the banks. - Hurt by the Cars A man nam ed Paul Green, while at tempting to cross the Union Pacific track in front of a detached portion of a freight train yesterday torenoon, was struck on the shoulder and thrown violently to the ground.

General Blanco has not obtained leave from Sagasta to prolong the regula- tions inflicting corporal punishment on slaves, but he hus prosecuted and obtained from the press tribu- nal sentences of twenty-one wecks suspension against ‘‘Economica Revista,” and twenty days against “‘Eco de Las Villas,” and has insti- tuted new prosecution st “‘El Triunfo.” All this severity is ground- ed on the fact that these organs of creole liberalism had independent ideas of autonomy,: of abolition of slavery, and of self government for colonies under the flag aud supremacy of the mother country. This policy of the general and home government has caused such dimm and discon- tent among colonial liberals that they INE 20, 1881, write to their representatives in Spain that the idea of totalabsentation from the polls in the general election this summer, gains ground rapidly.

This he opened and took from it a white, bone-handled article that bore 4 wonderful resemblance to an old- fashioned IXL razor, Thishe deftly inserted in his coat sleeve. The ap- pearance of the colored man had changed completely and he looked if he had some object in view. He arose quickly and went to the end of the car where the doctor sat eyeing his movements suspiciously. He stopped directly opposite. ‘‘Look a heah, sah, you dawg, I think I hurd you remark dat this yer cullud pusson was & —— — ——, Now I want you to chaw them 'ere words. Want yor ter understand,” said the colored man, beginning to boil with wrath, ‘“dat I'se got do same right is dis yer cah as any white trash an’ doan't you torgit it nuther.” The physician was evi- dently feeling unwell, and moved for the door. “‘Now,” continued the col ored man, taking a step forward and putting his face uncomfortably close to the doctor’s, “T jost give yer two secon’s fer to take back that observa- tion foah I begin to carve wid dis rawzor,” “I didn’t mean anything by the re- mark,” said the doctor quickly as he saw the colored man’s hand glide to- ward his sleeve. “Goan to tako it back?” ““‘Yes," said the doctor. “Now don't you never use no sich langwidge to a cullud pusson agin. You heah me?” said the darkey with a threatening look, If the doctordid hear the - remark he said nothing. The colored man re- sumed his seat, put back his razor and began to hum again as if nothing had drew as railroad on July 1st, next. National Associated Press. SLICED HAM. ATLANTA, Ga.,.

WasHINGTON, June 19.—The inter- ior department is not in receipt of the report of the condition of the Central Pacific railroad company, which the auditor of railroad accounts, French, has made to the president of the rail- road company. It is considered at the department as inexplicable that French should report to the railroad company before reporting to the de- partment, more especially so in view of the fact that he now recommends the discontinuance of the suit against the Central Pacific, which the attor- ney general brought at the instance of French. A NEW WRINKLE, The unprecedented increase of the red one ¥ent and demand for the blue two cent stamps is reported at the postoffice department.

Correspondence of The Bee, Corumpus, June 16,—This was a gala in Columbus, The cause was the celebration of the opening of the 0. N. & B.R. R. All the business houses, and many of the private resi- dences were decorated with flags and At an carly hour the people from the country began to come in with teams, . A careful estimate put those on the Albion train, at one thousand, and the Norfolk at fifteen hundred people. At half past eleven the meeting was called to order by Judge J. G. Hig- gins, whe delivered a short address of welcome to the visiting friends. Excellent instrumental musi furmshed by the Norfolk, Albion and Columbus bands, and vocal by the mottoes. ““MONEY OR BLOOD.” The Latest Developments in the Oage of Bradley, the Mur- derer of Hanlon, An Accessory to the Crim Discovered and Placed Under Bonds Porsonating United States teotives De- Correspondence of Tik By Fuesoxt, June 18,—The prelimi- nary examination of Bradley, the mur- derer of Patrick Hanlan, was held yesterday and will be continued Mon- Several facts were developed that have not yet appeared in print, chief among them being the testimony of a woman of the town, at whose house Bradley and his chum re- sorted some hours previous to the murder. When Bradley and his chum first visited Hanlan's store they pretended to be members of the United States secret service, and under this false badge of authority searched the store from cellar to garret for some When they returned to the bar room they inform- ed Mr. Hanlan that he had attempted to defraud the government, and that 8300 cash in hand would arrest the wrath of the government, which would come sure if they should file complaint. Mr. Harlan became indignant and or- dered them to leave the store instant- ly, which they did. The evening following found Brad- ley and his chum carousing at a noted house of ill-fawte in the outskirts of the town. Here the former made his public boasts that he would have MONEY OR BLOOD, at the same time displaying a pistol, and asserting that he must get at least fifty dollars of the amount de- manded of Hanlon. Here, also, Brad- ley and his chum, (who appears to be a non-combatant) wore the mask of secret service detectives. This is the fact, as given by one of the inmates on the stand, that has completely upset the calculations of the defense, and they propose to put on the stand, at an adjourned examination, Mon- day, ascore of witnesses to impeachher testimony and establish its falsehood. The hopes of the defense, if they can destroy the facts above related, are centered in establishing a case of shooting in self-defense. Mr. Grey, the leading lawyer on that side, maintains that Hanlan fired the first shot, that which pierced the door of the saloon and lodged in the wall of the house opposite, and is quite confi- dent that his client will be acquitted ot this examination. The accessory in the case (whose name I am unable to recall) has been bound over in_the sum of 8500 to await the action of the fil;nnd jury, and it is hardly possible at the principal in the case can be dealt with less leniently, Hon. J. C. Cowin, of Omaha, has charge of the prosecution, and will leave Omaha for Fremont at five o'clock Monday morning. Grey and Cowin are well matched and will un- doubtedly give many exhibitions of legal sparring before the case ends. Pictures of his wife and child orna- ment Bradley’s cell and secure him the usual amount of sympathy. Sheriff Gregg and his assistants have been walking arsenals since the capture of the murderer. It was feared he would be taken from jail and lynched. Their fears, however, proved groundless, although hundreds of the friends and acquaintances of the murdered man poured into town from the surrounding country, and day. important evidence of erookedness. Columbus quartette. Hon. John M. Thurston, of Omaha, made a yery amusing and in- teresting address. Dr. Bear, of Nor- folk, furnished a subject for the funny remarks of the speakers, on account of being a single man when there was 80 much beauty, W. M. Robertson, of Madison, Hon. B. K. Smith, of St. Edwards, and E. V. Clark, of Ge- neva, all spoke. Mr. Clark told how this part of the state had improved in the last ten years, When he came to Columbus, ten years ago, there was but one house in the county of Boone, and now it was a flourishing farm from one end to the other. His county, (Nance) was then in the possession of the wild Pawnee, Now its inhabi- tants are numbered by the thousands, After the speaking an adjournment was taken for dinner, tillthreeo'clock, when the procession was formed at the City Hall in the followsng order: Columbus brass band.
