Stye (Jtjctrlottt Qbtzcotx. CHJJ. B JONES, Editor St PW grtot H. a. AS 8KXMB-CUM KATTBB.1 . SUNDAY, MAY 15, 1881. A BEIVATOBIAL SUBPBISE. The confirmation of Stanley Mat thews, as associate justice of the Su preme Court, after the adverse report of the committee, in which he received only one vote, is a surprise. No nomi nation ever "went before the Senate which met with the general disappro bation that his did, and its prompt re jection was looked upon as almost a matter of course. When the Senate MimmitiMi reoorted so overwhelmingly acinar, it. it looked as if that would put a quietus on him, but lo and be hold he turns up after an all-day discus sion with one majority ; a bare solitary one. enoueh. however, to place him on the SuDreme Bench. What the partic ular influences were to achieve this re suit we do not know, but when we lftarn that Jay Gould, the railroad pi rate, was his active backer and lobyist, we may imagine. He probably placed some of his loose cash "where it would do most jrood." It is a we" known fact that' Stanley Matthews has been for years-a hired attorney of railroad cor THrations. and one of Jay Gonld's legal advisers, and the presumption is that he will be as pliant on the bench as he was zealous in the forum, when the interests of his then employees and his present patrons are at issue. With Bradley, another railroad attorney, and Matthews, these corporaters have now two representatives on the Supreme Bench. It will not be long, at this rate, before thy . will own the Supreme Court and will run it on their own schedule. The nomination of such a man was not only a surprise it was a crime. WHAT THEY WILL DO) There is some speculation in Wash ington as to what certain Democratic Senators will do in the contest between Garfield and Conkling, and certain names are mentioned as likely to sup port some one of the opponents, irre spective of the merits of the case. This is a fight with which Democratic Sena tors ouficht to have nothing to do, and we take it for granted they will not There ought to be no entangling al liances, no bartering, no personal favor itism. If Mr. Garfield's nominations are fit ones they ought to be confirmed, without consulting Mr. Conkling's wishes, and if not fit they ought to be rejected without consulting Mr. Gar field's wishes. The Democratic Sena tors have it in their hands to let none pass through who ought not to pass, and to pass through all who should pass. But the confirmation of Stanley Matthews does not inspire any very lofty hopes just now. freely admitted and themethods.to im- prOVo buo uuuvua i ;, CO. GRANT AND CONKLING TO THE RESCUE.

Finally the good offices of Gen. Arthur, Gen. Gar- fields associate on ine wcKei, weio in voked, and at last Mr. uonKiing ana Gen. Grant, the former at a great per sonal sacrifice to himself, were induced to begin that memorable campaign nrhinh threw life and spirit into the canvass and from the very jaws of de feat wrenched the victory which has sent Mr. Garffeld to Washington and tritrtm him the oDDertunity to show that in duplicity and political ingrati tude he stands alone among American policians. When Conkling and Grant threw themselves into the breach the Runnhlifian cause was almost lost. The party in Maine under the leadership of Blaine had come out of the fight with hattftrfid. broken ranks. In every part of the Republican camp there were dis may and disaffection. States doubtful before became doubly so. FROM DESPAIR TO ELATION. Hancock, it wa3 predicted, would sweep New York by 60,000. Indiana was more uncertain than ever. Even Ohio was throught to be in danger. Nothing was to be expected in the Soutn. Tom tne distant, jrauiuu ouatea every breeze across the Eocky Moun tains whispered of discouragement and disaster. In less than thirty days from the date of the firat speecii oy Mr. Conkling and Gen. Grant the whole situation became changed. The Re publican outlook began to brighten in New York, and the enthusiasm of the party here soon extended to every quar ter nf thTTnion. In assienine three- fourths of the honor and credit of the November victory to Conkling and Grant we are only simply re-echoing the testimony that was borne on every stump at the time and that was heard in the columns of every party organ. Gen. Garfield himself, in one of his gushing moments, swelled the chorus of applause and commendation that arose on every side. The plaudits for the real victors in the battle, however, were soon drowned in the paean of adulation that went up before the shrine at Mentor. About this time a wonderful change came oyer the spirit of Garfield's dream. SENATOR 31 9 re Htax DORSET'S RECORD. THE TRUE INWARDNESS. The New York Herald of last Wednesday created a sensation in Washington by the publication of what it calls a true history of the trouble be tween Garfield and Conkling, which was evidently inspired by Conkling himself. It reviews the history of the campaign when Garfield's star was on the wane, when Conkling came to his rescue, and accuses him of duplicity and treachery from that time to the present. We quote a few extracts from this remarkable document to show the gist of it and also to give some in sight into the history of the case : BEFORE THE ELECTION. He has invited suggestions from him and obtained them ; but, as I shall show before I close this letter, the President has invariably pursued a policy dia metrically opposite to that recommend ed to him. In this respect let me make a brief presentation of some general facts which I may possibly follow up in a more precise and particular way in a future communication. To take things in the order of their occurrence, let me go back to the period before the elec tion in November last Before the great battle came off there were days and weeks and almost months of gloom and uncertainty, when the intimate friends of General Garfield among the leaders of the Republican party were on the very verge of despair concerning the success of the contest. Many of them almost conceeded that they were beaten. It was difficult to get money. In every section of the country there was a feeling of apathy and indiffer ence as to the result that it was almost to shake off. The clouds on the Repub lican horizon were black with portents of evil. The gentlemen who had sup ported General Grant at Chicago seem ed to take no interest in the campaign. It lacked management, direction, cour age. In fact, there was not a single el ement of success in it The "Premier" was up in Maine, makihg a desperate effort to carry his State, which was to be the omen of victory to the rest of the country. The Republican organs were making almost superhuman ef forts to keep their courage up. In spired by Mr. Blaine, they kept up promisihg their friends what they were pleased to call "an old-fashioned Re publican victory," but those who were accurately informed on the political situation in that State knew that Mr. Blaine was fighting for life and that he was on the very verge of defeat In this gloomy condition of affairs Gen. Garfield in a sort of despair suggested a conference in the city of New York of the leading men of the party from all sections of the country. THE "iPOILSj CONFERENCE The object of that memorable Fifth avenue conference was to devise ways and means by which a few rays of sun shine and a little spirit might be thrown into the campaign. It was pen felt that New York was the pivo tal State in the battle ; that defeat here meant defeat all along the line. The importance, nay, the absolute necessi ty, of securing the support and advoca cy of Senator Conkling and Gen. Grant was universally recognized. Whether ; Jj.gi"X 'm.yn2P&I& il was supposed that Senator Conkling, like Achilles, was sulking in his tent, and that if he eould not be induced to enter into the battle defeat and disaster were inevita ble. In this posture of affairs Mr. Conk ( ling was invited to attend this confer- f cuw. jae . MUBuiubeiy aecunea to go, ' Hot for the snnnnsiuT roaann thof ka w" Achilles rote,, but because - t&efre was excellent reason to believe that at this conference a sort of a plan of a division of the spoils all over the 5nn,try was to be considered and de l?n presence of the assembled ?iffm. and leadership of the party. - Vieiounul80t the day recorded the - l held, but without the io oi jar. uontumg. The situa tion was fully considere the dangers the Mentor pilgrimage. At last matters began to look omin ous, and it was decided that something should be done. What that something should be no one could exactly tell, so, in the absence of anything better, it was determined to call a council of the chiefs of the party, or rather to sum mon the chiefs one by one. The Presi dent was in great distress, and so they all hastened to his relief. They came from the North and the South and the East and the West, and they ail confer red and conferred, and each man came back with the certainty that he was to find the tender of a Cabinet omce in his letter bag the moment he got home. How many Cabinet and other offices were promised, during tnat memoraDie series of pilgrimages will probably nev er be found out, but if the truth were known, Gen. Garfield, if he were Presi dent for half a century, would not be able to use up the supply of Cabinet material which he then discovered and generously signified that fie would avail himself of. 'WILL YOU TEA?" Route 'Heir from Atkan- ' v.- ' MIS ; ' ' j Chicago. May 14. A special to the Inter-Ocean, from Little Rock, says frauds of the Star Route ring, which are attracting the attention of the country, are no news in. Arkansas, where ex-Senator Dorsey's connection with them has long been more than suspected. He procured the appointment of ex- Go v. O. A. Hadley, as postmaster at Little Rock, supposing that he could count on his assistance in forwarding his schemes on the treasury in connec tion with the star routes. Knowing this in January, '78, he sent Hadley about six hundred blank proposals and bonds which the ring had printed for their own use, and which were different in some respects from those printed by the government and forwarded to bid ders with instructions to Hadley to get securities on the bonds, haye them signed in blank, approve them as post master and return them to him. This was done and bonds to the number of four or five hundred were fixed up in this way. The number of route and terminal points, amount of bid and name of bidder were not inserted as required by law before being approved by the postmaster. These bonds were then approved by Postmaster Hadley, in direct violation of law and then sent by express to T. W. Dorsey, then Sena tor or the United States, tor such use as he might make of them. They were not even straw bonds. Blank bonds were approved here on the 19th of Jan uary, 1878, shipped by Postmaster Had ley per Southern Express, January 20, to T. W. Dorsey, and delivered at his committee room, in the capitol, Janu ary 23. Numbers of routes, terminal points, amounts of bids and bidders names, were then filled in and bidders signatures attached and acknowledge ment taken by a notary public on A. T. Boone (who was a member of the ring) and dated Washington, January 5, and other days prior to those upon which bonds were dated and approved. To most of these bid3 the name of Jno.M. Peck, Dorsey's brother-in-law, was at tached and acknowledgment was taken by Boone, as notary public, but it was afterwards discovered that Peck had not been in Washington for over a year and that the signatures were forgeries. Dorsey himself stated that the signa ture wa3 not Peck s, out that ne Denevea it was written by Joseph R. Richards, who he said had be6n Dorsey's clerk and he presumed was authorized to sign his name. Parties who know Dor sey's handwriting say the signature re sembled his more than Richards. Richards and Peck suddenly put in an appearance here a day or two since, and it is thought for the purpose of covering up some operations of the ring. They have been in close consul tation with Postmaster Hadley and others, but their plans are not known. About the time Dorsey sent blank bonds here to Hadley, he sent blanks to J. H. Clendenning, postmaster at Port Smith, and requested him to procure sureties, approve the blanks and return to him. This postmaster Clendenning refused to do, and so wrote Dorsey and quoted the law, making it a penal offense, punishable with imprisonment in the penitentiary for one year or more for postmasters to approve bonds be fore the number and description of route, amount of bid, and the bidder's name were inserted, and the Didder had signed the proposal and made acknowl edgment before the officer qualified to administer oaths. Dorsey has ever since been an enemy of Clendenning. Clendenning; has preserved Dorsey's letter and his reply thereto. It is now said by knowing ones here that Jack Kerratt, assistant postmaster, who left here suddenly a few days ago and is charged with being a defaulter, did not leave on that account and is not a de faulter, but because he was in posses sion of a great many facts which the Star route ring did not care to have made public, and that they induced him to leave the country and then started the story that he was a defaulter. Schoolchildren. The latest statistics show 41,673,000 school children in the world, so far as the census takers were enabled to as certain. These have about 1,000,000 teachers. First in proportion to popu lation comes the United States, with 9, 373,195 pupils and 271,144 teachers. Both here and in France the school children form one-fifth of the popula tion. Prussia, with 4,007,776 pupils and 57,936 teachers, takes the third place. Next come England and Wales, where, as in Prussia, school children are one sixth of the population. Austria then files into line. In Japan there are 2, 162 962 school children, but the total population is not known. -.OUR STOCK OF- Tffv o O S?

Gar field, however, pressed him to stay to tea. urging that he could take a train which left at midnight. Mr. Conkling asked if he intended mere hospitality or business. "If it means hospitality," said he, "I must ask to be excused, for I have left important matters behind me which need attention ; if it is busi ness I will stay." Gen. Garfield replied that it was business. At this DOint Gen. Garfield went to tea, Mr. Conkling declining to accom pany him. When that important re past in the Garfield household was over the political threads were again taken up by Mr. Conkling's host. What Mr. Garfield said was of very little impor tance one way or the ther, but it was characterized throughout by want of frankness. He never once, I am assur ed, informed Mr. Conkling why he sum moned him to Mentor. VACILLATION, DUPLICITY OR WHAT? If the conversations, promises, intri- fues, bargains and broken pledges of Ir. Garfield since his .nomination at Chicago to the present time could be ar ranged and printed, as it is not impossi ble they may be, they would present a record which would make it difficult to decide whether he is not the weakest and most vacillating of men or the most cunning and adroit of political wirepul lers of the baser sort. Here is a speci men brick. Senator Conkling some time aero learned that Gen. Garfield had caused to be written abetter, which was to be shown to Mr. Wm. H. Vanderbilt, in which it was stated that if Mr. Van derbilt desired it Mr. Elliot F. Shepard would be made "United States District Attorney for the district of New York. In a conversation between Gen. Garfield and Senator Conkling subsequent to the writing of this letter Gen. Garfield spoke about his obligation to the gentle men in that State, like Mr. Robertson, through whose instrumentality his nomination became possible. He said that he desired to reward them in some way which would be least detrimental to the public interests, while at the same time he satisfied their legal de mands. These extracts which form, however, but a very brief portion of the history, will give a pretty accurate idea of the true inwardness of the Garfield-Conk-ling trouble, which briefly summed up means that Garfield used Conkling and now won't pay the purchase price. FINANCIAL. Some Letters In the Star Route Busi ness. Denver, Cal., May 14. The Tribune contains the following: "Immediately after the exposure of Dorsey's complic ity in the star route ring, as telegraph ed over the country, attempts were be gun to quash the suit, which had brought out letters and obtained pos session of documents. Yesterday it was successful. The letters were sur rendered and Dorsey paid the money to Wilcox which was sued for. This money, as is known, is for Wilcox's work in securing petitions for expedi ting the routes and sub-letting smaller contractors. The same day on which the papers were surrendered, Postmaster-General James telegraphed to Den ver for either letters, certified copies, or photographs of them. The tele gram came after the papers had been surrendered, and the registers probably concluded that they were safe, but they are mistaken. There are certified copies in existence and they will be used in connection with the documents in Portland, Oregon." A Fire Among' Cotton . Charleston, May 14. Shortly after midnight a fire was discovered among the bales of cotton in the hold of the British bark Isabel Croggs, loading at Bryce's wharf, in this city, with cotton for Havre. There were already aboard 1,847 bales of upland and 14 bales sea island cotton, all of which is thought to be more or less damaged by fire and water. The bark, which is an iron ves sel of 748 tons, is owned by R. Croggs & Sons, of Middlesboro, England, and is valued at 10,000 pounds. She is not damaged to any great extent. The cargo is now being discharged. Insur ance $70,000. Arrested for Abstracting Letter. Galveston, May 14. A special to the News, from Dallas, says: J. B.
