The struggle between the President and Senator Conkling has resulted thus far, in the resignation of Conkling and Platt, Ben. ators from New York. They go back before the Legislature of New York, which is now in session, for a re-election and endorsement of their course, in opposing the confirmation of Judge Robertson: They claim that the nom ination of Robertson to be Collector of thc Port of New York, was an insult to thcm and they could not retain their seats in the Senate unless sent back by the Republican of New York, in which event Conkling de. clares his intention of becoming independent of any party action, and hist, purpose of fight Ing the administration when and where ht pleases. ' In the mean time Oarfiield and Blaine have not been idle. Judge Robertson has been confirmsed, and they are putting their forces in line to fight Conkling at Albany and defeat his reelection. Tbey have organized an administration party in the New York Legis lature, and it, is announced that Conkling's defeat. is certain. Should this be the case, the President's victory will be complete and Conkling's defeat. overwhelming. The Presi. dent has the sympathyies of the country at this time, but how long he may be able to maintain himself remains to be seen. Conk. ling is a man of great ability and long ex perience in political life with t strong fol lowing of able men. le will use all ite means within his power to regain his lost ground and crush the administration. It, is to be a regular Kilkenny cat fight, and either the administration or Conkling must go un der. In either event the Democratic party and the whole country will be thie gainers. Garfield was elected purely as a sectional President, and (Conkling is a bitter hater of the South, a third term Grant ian and an imperialist Tle fight is over the spoils of of fice and the control of the poltiical machiner3 of' the Republican party, and is an evid ance of the corruptions and degeneracy of tha party. No event in politics for years past has created a greater sensatio n, and the poli ticiins are standing on the tip-toe watching he progress of the fight. Let it proceed, I is no funeral of ours, and we have no tear to shed over the defeat. of either faction. Our W 'slibngton Letter. WA HINGTON, May 20. 1881. During the last week we have had too muc political excitement. for such hot weather a has prevailed. Things have been broiling hc iII More cises than one.

But the hope hias so far failed. lober'tson mus stand, and tie will be confirmed. perhaps, be fore this letter is in print, while thte war ot thi Conkling element and the " sitar route'" rin against the Administration will go on t o thi .bitter end. Not thle least. part o1 the wee'ka excitement in political circles was caused b. tihe attack upon the President and Secretar Blaine through the correspondence of' the Nc York Hlerald.

Bowen, who read his report of the management of the road during hlia t'rm of office, whiub was as follows: Thirteen mon ths ago we commenced grading our road near Easley toward Pickens, with 44 convicts; 6 of the 50 obtained being worthless, were return ed to the penitentiary. I had no ex plrience in railroad grading. I there tore gave it up to the Chief Engineer and General suporintondent and over seer to manage the work and hands, and I am glad to say that the work hlas, I think, given general satisfaction. The work thus far alis in no instance exceeded tbo Engineer's estimate, not.. wit.htanding the strong opposition, and many obstacles we had to contend with. Some landowners refused us the right of way, and some subscribers hare been slow to pay. Consequently our expenses have been greater than our income. The Directors, however, authorized the Treasurer and myself to raise some money on the faith of the subscribers pay ing up in full when their last instalment wa3 due, which we did and were thereby enabled to purchase our goods and supplies gon orally tt Wholesale cash prices, which was a groat saving. When we determined to go to work, I had no thought of any apl)ositioin, but on the contrary oxpected almost every one that was able, to aid us to some extent in this great enterprise. But we have been met on some occa sions, I am sorry to say, with strong and obstinate opposition; but when 1 am as firmly in my opinion that an enterprise like this is for the public good, and that the future welfaro and prosperity of our- counties, as well as our SLato. deponds in a great measure upon the success of it, 1 never swerve from what I conceivo to be my whole duty, the opinions of others to the contrary IIOtwVithstandling. Whoi our funds in Pickens were aIbout exhausted, and there was no inimediato prospect of raising more. D we sot about to move to Andersoni, but the extremiw cold and snowy wea. ther kept, us back one mon 1th too lo))g. Consequently, we would h:avo some0 Ssmalt debts in Pickenis if all the sub-. - - scriber's were to pay up in full.

Thre ad >f vantages have been fully set. forth by a comn o n ittee appointed at a meeting of the citizens 'o of Morristown and vicinity in May, 1880, as giving the grades, distances, &c., showing - coticlusively the shortest, best and cheapest. -route trotm Louisville via Cumberland (lap, rs Morristown and French Broad Valley to Ashe e tille.

Cothran, of Abbeville Court Rouse, was odiled to preside during the meet. Ing. A committee of six was appointed by the ahairnman to verify all proxies, and report the amount of stock represented. The fol lowing gentlemen composed the committee: J. t. Gos3ett, J. L. Thoruley, W. C. Brown. H. 1. Epting, L. W. White, Win. Hood. The committee reported the following num. ber of shares represented, viz: Pickens Court lIouse 1661, Easley 1861, Williamston town. ship 302J, Due West township 236, Long Caine township 108, Abbeville township 850, Cedar Springs township 80, Belton township 3034. Total 1678. Value $33,500. The report of Captain W. J. Kirk, Gen eral Superintendent and Chief Engineer, was then called for and submitted as follows: On the 5th day of April, 1880, just thirteen months ago to (lay, ground was first broken in the construction of thisroad. For the first. ten months of the period the work was con. fined to a section of the line lying in Pickens county, between the towns of Easley and Pickens Court House. The charact.er of the country on this division is very rough, the main ridge being broken repeatedly by heavy streams over lapping each other. On th is section 6.6 miles are completed. Fifty con, victs were leased from the South Carolina Penitentiary on the 1st. April, 1880: In less than five months their number, from various causes, was reduced to thirty three. This number formed the average employed upon the work until 31st. January, 1881. On the 1bt February, 1881, these convicts, their number at that time being reduced by expi ration of sentence to 18, were removed from Pickens county to Anderson county. and (lie work commenced at Williamston and carried on in the direction of Easley. The entire section between Williamston and Easley is suiooh and comparatively level, and the pro gress of the work has exceeded the most san - guine expectations. There are now 4.1 miles ready for the ties and rails, there being in this distance but one break of 125 fect in crossing a small ravine. Thirteen and one half miles only remain to be completed in order to join the work already (lone at Easley in the construction of the road-bed I have adhered strictly to a uniform width of 14 feet for cuts and 12 feet for embankments. This is sutflicient for all practical purposes, even allowing tor a loss, which somnetimtes occurs, of 2 feet. in wid:hl on embankments by wash. ing away before the earth finally setwes. in the establishient of grades I have en deavored not to exceel the maximum of' 60 feet to the mnile. It has been found necessary , however, inl order to avoid earthwelk of the heaviest doscri)tioni, to go beyond this tigure for liort. distances at several poits on th e linte in lickeins county, but in every inst anice care has been taken to place these seepcr grades in close proximit y to tihe base of' grades ascending in the opposite dircetion, so t lia in eit her directio jthat m a train may be mini a thme iesistan~ce oa'eredl by the sleeper gra1b wvill be more t hait comtapenasaled by the~ mo. mientuma obtained in approacinmg it., thusa.. avo)iding the necessity utf excesive use oi steamii.
