Mr. GEO. 11. WOOD:
My Dear Sir —The picture arrived this

than two seconds after it was opened. It is
without doubt the finest picture of any kind
in town; in fact, the finest 1 ever saw at any
price.
I cannot compliment you sufficiently for
your talent, and assure you that you will
never regret the labor bestowed 011 this piece
of work; it will be productive of other simi
lar work from this section and to no small
amount. 1 have 110 doubt that by putting it
011 exhibition in window I could secure you
hundreds of dollars worth of work. I have
compared it with former one of same subject
made by you at sls I think, and this is very
much finer.
My wife, who is a daughter of the subject,
is perfectly carried away; you may consider
her under obligations to you. Again thank
ing you, I remain, Yours, &c.

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.
Slß —Will you. please announce to the Sen
ate that ray resignation as Senator of the United
States from the State of New York lias been for
warded to the Governor of the State. I have the

vant, ItOSCOE CONKLING.
SENATE CHAMBER, May 16 1881.
SIR—I have forwarded to the Governor of the
State of New York my resignation as Senator of the
United States for the" State of New York. Will
you please announce the fact to the Senate. With
great respect, your obedient servant,
