Both the New Yrk Senators Resign ! Remarkable Coup de'tat. A great sensation was created in tho U. S. Senate by the announcement yes terday morning that Senators Conkling and Piatt had sent their resignations to the Governor of New York, This action grows out of the nomination of Robertson and is regretted by all republicans. We belieye the President to be right, aud the senators wrong in the contest which has led to this very remarkabie move, but their withdrawal from the senate is a calamity and the great mass of republi cans will consider the step neither wise nor patriotic. It may be simyly a shrewd stratgetic move to secure an endorsement of iheir course and that they had the as surance before they resigned that they would be re-elected by the legislature now in session. The fallowing are the letters which were read to the Senate : WASHINGTON, D. C., May 16,1881.
