Of the Republican papers in the country, only three, and one indepen dent, New York Herald, sustain Conk ling,and the Herald seems to have drop ped him. The measure of Senator Lamar's am bition ought to be full. He has received invitations from nine colleges in four States to deliver commencement addresses. Archbishop Croke who has taken such an active interest in the cause of the peasantry is now the most popular man in Ireland. Everywhere he ap pears he is greeted with ovation?. in line. If any one imagines uranusw has died, he is much mistaken for the adherents that gathered arouna uranc at Chicago will be solid for one of the Grant tribe if it be not judicious to again bring the man on horseback be fore the public as a candidate. Their candidate will be a man in full sympa thy with and acceptable to him. They do not and will not forget the uncheck ed license they en j oy ed in the eight years of his administration when the Bel knaps, Sheppards, etc., swayed with a sovereign sway in the "city of magnifi cent distances," and they pine for the return of those good old days when the plunderer prospered and waxed sleek and fat under executive protection, and there was no one to call him to account nor make him afraid. For this they are girding themselves for the conflict, and they are going to make it an ex ceedingly warm one all along the line. The first trial of strength will take place at Albany next Tuesday, when the campaign for the Presidency will open in earnest, and the Conkling and anti-Conkling, or rather Grant and anti- Grant men will fall into line, and get ready for the heavy work before them. We shall look on with interest while the slaughter proceeds, and shall try to bear it with composure if the result be mutual annihilation. Grain isnow being shipped from the west to Europe by way of the Missis sippi and New Orleans, for less than it can be sent from-the west to the Atlan tic seaboard by rail. The Chamber of Deputies in Mexico has passed an amendment to the con stitution making only native Mexicans eligible to either house of Congress. It is now said that Gov. Cornell is in the race for Conkling's seat in the U. S. Senate. That would be rough on Conkling for he made Cornell governor, The New fork Herald's silence on Conkling for the past few days is omi nous; not that the Herald is a leader f public opinion, but it is a remarka bly close observer of passing events, and trims' its sails to the wind. SACRIFICING HVniN LIFE. That is a horrible story the telegraph brings us of the catastrophe on the ex cursion steamer Victoria. The loss of over one hundred and seventy human liyes is a chocking recital, even at this distance where none of the doomed victims are known, and no heart strings are wrung over the sudden snatching away of loved ones, who but a few hours before bounded off full of life and joy and hope. There seems to have been criminal negligence and indifference on the part of the managers of the excursion even after protests had been entered about the crowded condition of the steamer. When greed of gain causes such sacri fice of human life breaking the necks of the guilty parties by a rope would be entirely too mild a retribution. Cyrus W. Field, who has ju3t return ed from a cruise around the world, says the streets of New York are filthier than any he has seen in his travels, and he visited some of the dirtipst cities in Europe, Asia and Africa. Geo. Clark, of Patrick county, Va., is good on the keep, He has some tallow from a deer which he killed forty-two years ago, and a pocket comb which he has carried since he was a boy, though now over sixty years old. He ought to run a savings bank. Leadville, Colorado, three years ago a mining camp, is simply now a prosperous and flourishing city. As an evidence of its progress a "high school" has just been completed at a cost of 040,000, and equals in its appointments any school building in Philadelphia or Baltimore. These western people move fast and live fast. Here's the way the Goldsboro Star, the colored peoples' organ, figures it up In this State we have 06,500 colored to 33,500 white Republican voters, but in the division of the offices of appoint ment 19 out of every 20 are held by white men." The editor of the Star forgets that white Republicans have championed the cause of the colored men to control the vote and the spoils that vote would give. Giving office to the colored men never entered into their calculations. SUNDAY CONFERENCE. To the American public it don't make touch difference how Roscoe Conkling & CoVspend their Sundays, and if they Caxise to hold their conclaves on that day at the house of Vice President Ar thur that's their business ; but we sub mit that it is hardly consistent in the leaders of the party which claims to be the great moral party of the country. In Its platforms it invariably throws in a few planks to identify it with the christian sentiment of the age, and holds itself up as the repfesentative of All that is pure and good in morals and in politics. Of course we know that this is only a pretense, to deceive that class of people who are easily humbug 3ged and get their votes, for there is not tor cannot be much morality in a party which has incubated and sent into tx istence as many villains-its that party bas within the past two decade?. Though not piously inclined himself r.Vlce President Arthur ought, in com mon decency, to show more respect to th Sabbath than to make it apolitical caucus day at his house. We fear Conk ling la demoralizing him. Opposed to Calling; a Caucus. Albany, May 25. The following let ter was sent to Speaker Sharpe at 11.30 this morning: State of New York, Senate Chamber, Albany, May 25, '81 To Hon, Geo. A. Sharpe, chairman of the Assembly Caucus Committee : Dear Sib The Senate caucus com mittee have given the question of call ing a caucus the earnest deliberation whicn tne gravity or situation aemanas. The United States Senators from this State have resigned and thrust upon the Republican members of this Legis lature the alternative of supporting or antagonizing the national administra tion. This issue involves the integrity of the party. The resignation of our Senators nas lett tne benate or tne United States in the control of the Democratic majority. The Republican party of the State cannot submit its re lation to the party in the nation to the decision of a majority of a legislative caucus. No member ought to be ex cused by the caucus action from indi vidual responsibility but in joint con- l it T 1 A. t 11 venuon or me legislature ana in me solemn exercise of his duties as a legis lator, each man should cast his vote ac cording to his conscience and the wish es of his constituents. We do not therefore deem it wise to unite in a call for a joint caucus. We remain, dear sir, Yours truly, D. McCarthy, Geo. H. Forster. While I do not fully concur in the above I deem it unwise and inexpe dient at the present time to join in or recommend a call tor a caucus. W. W. Rockwell, Engineering for a Caucus. Albany, May 25 Both sections of the Conkling and anti-Conkling mem bers talk confidently to-day. Tne re fusal of the Senate caucus committee to call a caucus was not unexpected. A paper circulated yesterday for signa tures of the Republican members, call ing a caucus, was still in circulation this morning. The stalwarts - say it will contain the names of a majority of the Republican members. At noon the stalwarts reported that they had 50 signatures to tneir call for a caucus. nrA. f ; i ji i.i ti . x JLity-iour is a majority qi tue xvepuu lican members of the Legislature. matiacfPT nf the bank of British North America; J.C.

Among the missing are Miss Bailey; Alice Deadman, of New Brighton; Miss Griffith, of Bucks street, and Al fred Trimble, probably lost. A full list cannot yet be obtained. All is in the deepest confusion. The newspaper staffs like all else are sadly demoraliz ed, all having friends involved in the calamity. The whole city seems al most demented to-night- The accident was certainly due to gross carelessness. The boat was over crowded to a disgraceful extent. Man ager Geo. Parish was expostulated with by several at -Spring bank and urged not to let the boat go out in that over crowded condition, but he is reported to have replied Mall right, 1 know my business," or something of that sort. Sam'l Stewart, a stove merchant, one of those who protested left the boat at Spring bank with his family. Several hundred more remained there unable to get passage and had to walk home, a distance of four miles to-night, no con veyance of any kind being available. The telephone was in constant use be tween the water works and this city by friendly inquiries. This disaster will put an end to the pleasure steamsr business, as hereafter people will not venture. The river, which has been the subject of many jokes and puns on account of its sup posed shallowness, is in reality in many places 20 or 30 reet deep. Later The work of recovering bodies at the scene of yesterday's disas ter is still going on actively. Up to this time 170 have been found and most of them were brought to the city. All the undertakers' shops are beseiged and coffins are going out by scores. The crowds at the river bank and at the steamer landing have not diminish ed. Among the bodies identified are those of the two daughters of J ames Burns. The excitement seems to in: crease as night advances.

Nashville, ! May 25. A bill was served on the comptroller yesterday by the sheriff of this county, enjoining the funding board from carrying out the requirements of the par and 3 per cent, funding act. The bill alleges that min eral and home railroad bonds, and bonds issued for war interest and war purposes were illegally issued; that the funding act was procured by bribe1' ry; that members of the Legislature were speculating in Tennessee Donus when the act passed, and that one member received $10,000 and another $15,000 for voting for the act. The bill further charges that the act is uncon stitutional, because it appropriates a revenue for 99 years while the consti tution prohibits appropriations for longer than two years ; also, because it confers judicial powers on executive officers to pass upon the legality of the bonds; that by the coupon feature the school fund is diverted from its legiti mate purpose; that it provides for funding bonds held by certain bond holders but excepts bonds held by charitable and educational institu tions; that the act fails to recite in its caption or otherwise the title or sub stance of the law repealed, revived or amended ; that it repeals a section of the act of March, 1873, prohibiting the reception of anything but treasury warrants, gold and silver, United States bank notes and old issue of the Bank of Tennessee for taxes, by making cou pons receivable for taxes. The bill further alleges that the act is ambigu ous, and asks for a construction of the act by the court. The bill of injunc tion was presented to Judge Williams Winchester and a flat granted on the 20th of May. Comptroller Nolan, one of the members of the funding board, says no action will be taken to dissolve the injunction until the return of State Treasurer Polk and Secretary of State Nunn.

We are looking forward to the ap proaching commencement at the Uni versity (June 1st and 2d) with much pleasure, and predict that it will be a brilliant success. Although the Uni versity Railroad is not yet finished, we will doubtless have a much larger crowd than we have ever before had, as there have been made, up to the present time, more engagements for board and sleeping quarters, than for many years previous to this. Through the kindness of the railroad officials, and in consequence of the untiring en ergy of our very efficient and deserved ly esteemed chief marshal, Mr. D. E. Mclver, greatly reduced rates have been secured on all the railroads of the State. No pains have been spared to secure an abundance of comfortable vehicles to convey visitors to Chapel Hill, and the roads are in excellent condition. Once arrived, pleasures of the highest order await the visitor. It will be his privilege to hear that able divine and pulpit orator, Dr. William P. Harrison, of Washington City, who preaches the annual sermon. Dr. Har rison has a national reputation, and all we need say of him is, that he will cer tainly be here. The address before the two literary societies will be delivered by our own peerless Senator, M. VV. liansom. The graduating class consists of thir ty members. Among them are many fine speakers. The gentlemen that have been chosen to speak are : Messrs. W. J. Adams, Albertson, Avery, Joyner, Leach, Murphy, Pell, Rouse, Stewart, Thomas, L. W. Walker and Winborne. A large portion of the students will give a magnificent ball in honor of the graduating class. If there be a reader of your excellent paper who loves to mingle in the "giddy mazes" of the dance, let him come. I repeat it, let him come! In conclusion, Mr. Editor, above all I beg you to insist that she come, and many warm and constant hearts will greet her coming. A Student. Chapel Hill, N. C, May 24, 1881.
