But the trouble is to combine. The total Republican vote against Mr. Conk ling lacked 7 of being &majority of all the votes cast. It looks as though . • the deadlock would be continued for an indefinite time. The paramount duty of the Republicans of the Leg islature of New. York is to elect two Republichn Senators in place of Conkling and. Platt before final ad . journment. It is apparent that nei ther of the -resigning Senators can be elected. Their friends should, in this vie-a; break the deadlock, and combine their votes on men who can be elected. The responsibilityfor the situation is npon the resigning Senators, and they should not be suffered to de prive their State. of Republican rep reOntation in 'the United States Senate, while the Legislature tains a large - majority of Re - publicans.

Y. to - take a hand in .fine Senatorial struggle . yeste;d4 4 — Wednesday.: What new phases the, conflict may assume through the influences ex pected to be exerted by the man who has come all the way from. Mexico to save the boss leader' of the famous 30G who stood so valiantly by him at Chicago, is not foieshadowed. The prevailing sentiment', is; as in the case of Vice-President Arthur, that he had better kept away. It is now General Crant,. Conkling, and `•iue itoo" Platt; who will .be united in their efforts to perpetuate dead-lock, which if successful, may as a result, give Thew-York two Dem ociatie Senators next winter( A Springfield, Illinoiiitelegrain June 2i, says: "Mrs. Lincoln, widow of Abraham Lincoln, and mother of the 'Secretary.of War, has, passed. beyond all hopes of recovery and her death is looked for at any moment. HAYES O.KCQNILLING. The Herald, Cleveland, June I;lPub lishes an. interview with ex-President Hayes, in which he says Mr. Conkling is a monomaniac on the subject of his own importance. He is SO impressed with his own greatness that it lusbe come more than eccentricity. It is monomania. A patiqit often imagines that he is some distinguished character or superior being.. The men do his bidding Mr. Conkling considers in a state of subjection to him, and ' hose who refuse .. to obey his dictates he con siders his most bitter enemies; He thinks they are trying to humiliate him. HUmiliate is a favorite term , with him. In 1879 General Robinson asked Mr. Conkling to come and make speeches in Ohio, and - bis reply was, "Why do you ask me to come to OhiO, when they have insulted ime there?" "Insulted you! How ?" asted General Robinson. "Why, have they not in dorsed this man Hayes' Administra tion, thereby making a direct drive at me ?" Conkling's downward tendency dated from 1 7 176. He' l tliied then in every way possible to defeat the Re publican party in New York. Goyer. nor Morgan, a candidate for Governor in New York that year, was well:satis fied that Conkling did all in his power to defeat him. Conkling made. three attempts to betray the Republican par ty. This was one of them. The next was the Electoral Commission. Ile had a speech already prepared to over throw the action- of the Commission relative to the returns from Louisiana. 'Senator Morton discovered his plan and succeeded in defeating it. There. never would have been a Potter In vestigation 'Commitree but for Conk ling. The - Democrats were loath to go into it, and 'only did so at the earn solicitation of Conkling. I will not say he falsified in this case, for I think he really believed that- the men on that Louisiana Board had entered into a bargain for the sale of that State, and- Conkling assured Southern Senators hat -I would,' from very shame, leave .he White House in th!rty days after he investigation had begun.' Mr. Blaine and the ,Conspira tors. The attempt to 'implicate Mr. Blaine in the Star•route frauds and to embroil ifie cabinet - is revive?`; t it perste and transparent game of daring swindlers who are being remorselessly hunted down and whO are convulsively trying every resource in the ,hope of baffling the relentless pursuit. But this braten and shameless attempt will sig nally fail, just as every other movement on their part has come to nought. It was abe expected that these con spirators would. make a 'violent effort to save themselves. -If anybody supposed that the campaign against them would be simply a grand dress parade and an easy and unresisted march to complete conquest, he little comprehended their tree character, They are cool, bold, malty, reaolate men. They are skilled in the arts of intrigue and adepts in the game of personal politics. In the pros ectrOon of their schemes of plunder they have studied political influence profit, and they know how to turn all the agencies and weapons to account. Such men are not going to surrender without a strenuous fight. They have everything .at stake and will struggle with desperation to avert the sword which hangs Over them. Bat thus iar their efforts have not been marked by any great success. They have in a general way squirted their vilification at all who have been engaged, in the movement againstiliem, but it has made :no impression. Their more special demonstrations_ have been equally impotent. , They began by mysterious hints that General Garfield as a Presidential candidate had Written a letter which involved him in a direct appeal :for help from , _ the Star-route ring, knowing its character, and thus at tempted by threats of exposure and dis grace to frighten him off from the pur suit. The answer was the prompt pub lication by the President's friends of the letter itself—a letter which was en tirelynnexceptionable, and which on its face refuted the imputation. , But the conspirators did. not stop. Publish the Hubbell letter, they cried,—tho letter to which General Garfield's was a re sponse,—and that will show - the true meaning of the guarded reply. The Cliallenge was met; the Hubbell totter wasprinted; it contained no reference in any way to the Star-route contract ors; it was entirely proper in every re spect, and that . movement failed. The next step was this attack upon Mr. Blaine. Its object was to stir up difficulty between him and his associates in the Cabinet who are pursuing the frauds, and thus to 'embarrass and thwart the prosecution. Such an at tempt shows the utter desperation of the conspirators. The accusation is a gross and unfounded aspersion. There is no shadow of evidence or reason to warrant it. The paper through which it first found publication has acknowl paged thai i 1 was not sustained. Trot though thus completely discredited and repudiated, it is now revived in the hope of arraying. one arm of the Cabi net against the other, and so of avert ing the impending blow. - It is the wan: ton and reckless attempt of plunderers to ward off their doom; but it will be as futile as their previous movements. Ph ila. Press. - - The Measure of Stalloaritsm. The Philadelphia Times of Sunday says "There is already some ' .talk among the Conkling men of an alliance with the Democrats looking to the elec tion of Mr. Conkling and a Democrat. This talk serves simply to show the desperation of the stalwarts. There is hardly room for a rational doubt that Mr. Conkling has no longer any affec tion for the Republican party. It is the party which gave him all his politi cal prominence, but it has outlived its usefulness to him. A. Republican Pre,silefit has refused to give hits an. premo control of all the appointments for nevi York, aid a Republican Senate has declined , to sustain him in his war on the,administration. He is therefore looking about for another alliance.' The Democrats certainly ought not to em brace the opportunity and they probab ly will not, unless by purely partisan considerations they yield because they see that they must either take Con kling and a Democrat oe two adininis, triition Republicans. Even then they will probably weaken their chances to carry the State next fall. WASHIEGTO,N At the Cabinetmeeting yesterday the Star route matters'were under disettP don.

What is dime ? Democrat of the worst type, a slanderer by profession, end man with no conception of honor has been placed in charge of the investigation. Whose dirty work or whose crimes he is to cover I need not say.

Bach is his power Hist, based upon , his simple as sertion that the gentleman impeded the I investigation, they were not even al lowed a hearing. It Is well known here that in - nowise could the officials bene fit themselves by the irregular trainee tione, or even know of them in such light. It has ceased to be an investi gation, and in the hands •of a bitter Democrat, becomes aimply an opportu nity for the gratification of personal enmity. The Republican party is do ing much to cause bitter regret in the future. The situation in Nev York remains the same. There is a deldlock in the Legis lature which will continue for sometime. The, friends of Mr. Conkling still-main tainihat he - will be fleeted, and that too, in the face of the. overwhelming odds-against him. The flutter among the Treasury offi ciabi was quite lively yeSterflay. En mered dismissals and. resignations flew fist. Oue of the report's was that sec retary Upton intented to tender,his resignation. But hiFilriends deny this saying it would be impolitic for hi to resign since his name has been co upled with the irregulaties: The Secretary upon, his return from the West will make some changes; but it is not known whether or not Mr. Upton will be in cluded among them.

A queer case is before the Preiiident: It is one in which literature entrs the lists - against politics in the struggle for an office.

Among theta are Dr. J; G. Hol land; T. B. Aldrich; Henry' W. Long fellow; Oliver Wendell Holmes; John Cir Whittier and John Hay.

Prances Hodgson Burnett.- The Elmira Advertiser's Washington correspondent, Mrs. M. L.-Burns, thus relates an interview with the, author of "That Lass o' Lovme's :" As all men au& women eke greater and nobler than the greatest and noblest work, so it is -delightful to meet those whose writings< have instructed or en tertained us. I had occasion to bless the peculiar etiquette which made it entirely proper for me, es the represen tative of the Advertiser, to pay my re spects to that distinguished author, Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, who wrote "That Lass o' Lowrie's" "A Fair Barbarian." &a She is the Fife of Dr. Burnett, a skillful physician, and re sides in a nosy house on I street, Wash ington. She is the mother of two fine little boys, and is said to be a model wife, mother and housekeeper. Mrs. Burnett is rather slight and delicate in person; has lovely golden hair, fair complexion and bltie eyes. She is .a charming conversationalist; and I could not help thinking that she might have VacieriViiigiio 1.11 1 ;VG L'iciel l eig the above work" must have inferred that she had spent a goodly number of years . in the English coal-mining districts, in order to know so intimately the cus toms, habits of thought, and the pecu liar dialect of the class to which be longed that savage and ignorant miner, Lowrie.

She has a nght royal laic, and almimtion for the ,country of her adoption, though pleading a lack of any partisan interest in our political par tiea It pleasant -to hear hei elo quent praissti of our beautiful capital; which, as she avers, surpasses -the cap ital cities of old world in manyle 'meet& , She said that nowhere else was the best society do accessible and yet so select.

Lc Burns, Washington correspon dent of the Elmira Advertiser, pays the fol lowing just tribute to one of the oldest and ablest lady correspondents of Washington : '‘Olivis,7 or Mrs. Emily E. Briggs, was the gifted correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, when that "paper was under the lead ership of that veteran editor, Col. Forney, and snow a valued contributor to leading Washington journals and to the Philadelphia Times. Mrs: Briggs was a sort' of pioneer, • where so many Washington letter writers have followed and very often failed. She wieJ%a trenchant pen, and there Is Some ng perfectly wonderful In the utter feat. lessness with which she takes up the gaunt let in defense of her sex,: or to wage unspar ing warfare upon the wrong. Many a staunch politician, who has sought to • promote his own selfish interests by fraud or corruption, has had his victorious plumes. laid in the dust by the onslaught of a woman's pen keener than a two-edged sword, and temper ed like a Damascus blade. "Olivia" owns a beautiful home on Capital * Hill. "Maple Square" is all her own. and is a veritable paradiee at this season of the year when the air is laden with the fragrance of blossoming lilacs and the sweet, old-fash ioned flovierwthat our grandmothers loved. The wide lawn occupies a whole square and is planted with shade and fruit trees. The old mansion is roomy, comfortable and pie- . turesque. The brick walls are pain ted White, and the many gabled roof is a dark, Moorish red. The interior is luxurious and tastefully furnished.' To show that the distinguished political writer'eanAo something beside pen work, I wish to say that she conducted my friend and myself all through her house, even into the kitchen and the servants' quarters, and every part of it'was in perfect order and spotlessly clean. The dainty hands that have ..erritten a leader for some influential paper,- can cook ti dinner, make a dress or fashion the most intricate embroidery. There are some things about-" Olivia" that no one could learn from herself. She is very kind to the poor, and is regarded as a sort of patron saintly the sick and suffering. Her ear is ever open to the tale _of distress and her hand ever, ready to relieve the w ants of the neeey. = - Mrs. Briggs is charming 'in tiNanvertiiation; and even more, than I admire her talents do I like hbr for her loyalty to womanhood. Al though hers was an eteeptional work for "a woman, at the time she entered.the field as a correspendent, yet abp has won'. the *Gem and respect of the very men who had reason to look upon her as it formidable rival. "Oliiia" is in the''very prime of her mental posters and her friends hope tbst her writ ings may be gathered into.-books, not merely- , to perpetuate her posthumous fame, but in order that the laurels she had earned may crown her womanly brim while ;she can en joy the re wards of deserved suceese.

We donned our garments with more speed than dignity and hasteried on deck. Leeward, seemingly but a atone's throw distant, rose from a flood of tender haze the flat headlands of Proeida with the- white, clustering cottages of the fishermen' just beyond . towerd the volcanic heights of Ischia while leeward stretc,hed the shores of Pozzuoli, the biblical Puteoli and the verdant• hills of Tvaittiro bocindod 411!,,a rioopx.oe. But the one incomparable spectacle was yet to,COMO and we watched expec tantly as the wise men , of old did for that star - in the east which was ta be. the visible promise of a glorious reality. How trifling now seemed our past: ca lamities when the hope of abundant recompense was near its fulfillment! Onward we glided over Abe placid waters'as if in a phantom ship enticed to destruction. Was the siren Parthen- Lope deluding us with her magic charms which were to vanish at -last, into the limpid ether?. No, it was not a vision of the empty air that' unfolded to our sight, but a aubtinatial, living picture, not painted like the mirage in evanes cent colors on the changing- sky, but aglow with the ever-entrancing and inimitable hues of nature. ; Thci .,: mists which had so tantalizingly'. concealed these enchanting shores, yielded at last as if in obedience to our desires, the _watery horizon widened and extended in every direction, here and there thrtmerh the ritteo vapors peered the purple peaks of distant mountains or gleamed the white houses of pictur esquely scattered hamlets and full be fore us, as the crowning glory of the whole, curving around in a magnificent semicircle, blushing and smiling or frowning and darkening with every change of light MO - shade, lay the queenly city while grand old Vesuvius with his ever-threatening smoke-wreath complacently surveyed the scene as if he would remind us that like the - an cient kings of Rome he wields'the scep tre of life and death. I We gazed• long and obliviontlit as if we would never satiate' ourselves. I suppose it was the anticipation of tread ing the solid earth aaain and realizing what we had so often heard depicted that inspired us with such ' peculiarly leasurable feelings. But we were yor-rousetr- twat -trur engrossing contemplation by the sound of strange voices near us. A multitude of -boats of every kind had "surrounded - the steamer and their swarthy, keen-eyed, scantily-clad occup.ints were offering us their services in a shrill unintelligible jargon and with au abundance of ges ticulation more expressive than elegant Ahl we little knew what experiences we were doomed to undergo! Our travels [. 'n othCr countries had already taught us.the necessity of making a bargin be lOrehand and we therefore intimated to what extent we would 'compensate the very condeseending-favor of conveying us ashore. Why, it was quite impos sible for them to listen to such demean ing conditions, they could not everr buy maccaroni for such paltry fee!' We threatned, they derided, we vowed in our indignation that we would remain on shipboard and starve rather than Submit to eitOrtion, but our perseCutors only. laughed. The sight of the "al mighty lira," however, finally induced a certain approximation 'to rationality and we reached the land we scarcely knew how.. But our troubles were not yet ended. We had expected complete liberation from all misfortunes when . once safely brought within the magic preeincts of. l this 'city, sung by poets, praised by au thors and sought -by the great _and grandof all countries; but. we had still to learn these sharp and striking con trasts between inhabitants and habi tation which makes Naplestinique 1 among the cities Of the world. - Accor dingly we yielded submisaively, to the inevitable, ran the gauntlet of the cab men and surrendering ourselves to the tender mercies of the least odjection able, started in search of - restoration and lodgement, escorted in quite cere monious style by a numerona band. of . :retainers.
