ALBANY , N. Y. , May 20 4 p , in.- = .
The report-circulated by "half-breeds"7
of a quarrel between Senators Conk-
ling and Arthur , is especially denied
by Speaker Sharpe. General Arthur ,
Senator Conkling and Governor Cor
nell all agree , and Conklinjj
and Arthur are in pcrfeci
accord. The conviction is growing
that Cornell and Depcw will be the
half breed nominees. Cornell is "work
ing hard for Conkling and lias broughi
all the pressure of the Gubernatioiui !
office to bear upon the Malcontents
and doubtful te compel them to act in
Conkling's behalf. Conkling says the
attempt to make Cornell a
candidate simply indicates the
nature of the compromise
the half breeds are willing to effect ,
and scouts the report of Cornell's dn-
[ ) licity. The conviction is growing that
there will be a compromise between
the two factions. The half breeds pre
sented various petitions to the senate
Jiis morning , opposing the re-election
of Conkling and Platt.
The stalwarts say they will have the
ifty-four names necessary to call a
caucus by eveniny. It is rumored that
senator Astor signed the caucus call
; his moniing. This would make 51
mines. There is no truth in the state-
nent that Hurd took his name off the
stalwarts call .and put it on the half
ireeds piper. It is freely talked that
he half breeds candidates
ire Chauncey M. Depew
ind Cornell 'Evarfs is also spoken of
> y some who profess to know. The
stalwarts are using Depew's name to
good effect in decrying corporate mon
opolies , and that the "half-breeds" are
avoring monopolists.
TIIE CAUCUS.
A. B. Johnson , Utica Conkling's iu-
'
iinato friend"just made an'annouiice-
uent that the Stalwarts have secured
necessary , fifty four signatures to a ,
call for the caucus. The announco-
nent creates great excitement. Conk
ing , Arthur and Johnson are now in
secret conference.
WOOUIJf OX COXKLIXG.
ALBAN-Y , N. Y. May 20 10 p. m.
senator Woodin , in presenting remon
strances against the re-election of
Conkling and Platt , made a long
speech attacking the two senators for
esigning and leaving the United
states senate with a democratic ma-
ority. He asked why Conkling did
lot resign wliea Hayes removed his
riend Arthur , and said Colliding had
ermentcd discord in the party and
larassed and opposed the republican
administration , and tliat his return
would be a shame. Strahan replied ,
supporting Conkling and Platt.
ALBANY , N. Y. , May 27 1 a. m.
\Ir. \ Woodin's attack on Conkling in
, he senate yesterday , in debate , was
very heated.
Mr. Sharpe replied at length , re
viewing Conkling's career as a repub-
iran leader , his efforts in the. last
campaign and readied the people's
cry that he was the man who elected
3arfield. He said the people Killed
'or the return of Conkling and Platt ,
ind that their act of resignation 'was
icroic and should be sustained. The
only thing tliat kept the opposition to
gether was the patronage they were
able to control.
Wr. Woodin replied , denouncing
Strahan's statements relative to the
same remarks attributed to him in the
executive session , as false.
Mr. Forster replied for the "half-
Breeds , " taking the ground that the
stalwarts had endeavored to suppress
the judgment of the senators by the
ittempt to force a caucus , when none
was desired.
Mr. Halbert took the other side and
eulogized the action of Conkling as
teroic. f
AN ISSUE OF ntlNCIFLB AND NOT MEN.
Mr. McCarthy , chairman of the
caucus committee of the senate and a
'half-breed , " replied at length , and
said the question at issue was one of
irinciple and not men ; that the act of
esignation was cowardly ; that Conk
ing was a dictator and had come to
Albany to lobby in his own behalf and
would be defeated , as he had shown
limself unworthy.
AN ADMINISTRATION VICTORY. *
The fact that the "half-breeds" had
irevcnted the stalwarts from securing
lie necessary number of votes to hold
a caucus to-ninght , is hailed ; is a vic-
ry by the administration forces and
is a harbinger of defeat for Conkling
ind Platt.
It was the intention to hold "a caucus
ast night in the usual manner and
nominate Conkling and Platt , and the
fact that the "half-breeds" secured
iledges sufficient to preuent it is in-
licative of their strength in the joint
convention.
THE STALWARTS WEAKENING.
The effect of this second defeat in
wo days is weakening the stalwarts
and many of the workers have left the
city. The stalwarts , yesterday , in
view of a probable failure to secure
, wenty-seven of the fifty-four names
necessary to order a caucus at the ap
pointed time last night , resorted to
strategy.
COMOJNO'S BAIT.
During the day messengers carried
the following note , signed by Conk
ling , to all the republican assembly
men whom he thought prudent to ad
dress :
"THURSDAY , May 20. MY DEAR
SIR I would like a few minutes' con
versation with you as soon as you may
be at leisure ; time and place at your
convenience. Will you let me hear
from you ? Cordially yours ,
"ROSCOE CONKLINO. "
Recipients who calledupon Conkling
at the Delavan house , were graciously
received and given to understand tliat
Conkling disliked the present fight
and was anxious to have itsettled
yi some way , to prevent further dis
cussion in the party and further the
delay of the adjournment of the legis
lature. He proposed a friendly con
ference of all the factions at the as
sembly room , where the .whole could
be discussed and a plan for settlement
agreed UJXHI. The plan met with
such success tliat by G o'clock the con
sent of fifty-seven assemblymen to at
tend had been obtained.
BOBERTSON COJIES TO THE FEONT.
Robertson heard of the plan and at
once set about to destroy it. He
argued that Conkling would go before
the conference and deliver a great oration
tion , defending his position , and the
having a majority of his friends present
ent , they would treat the conferenc
as the regular caucus called for las
night , and nominate Conkling an
Platt. Then they would either insis
on the regularity of the proceeding
and take the nominations as regula
before the joint conference of the tw <
houses next Tuesday , or Conklin
woould decline in a set speech , saying
he meant his resignation to be final
but was induced to go into the presen
contest by his friends for vindication
that he was satisfied with the vidica
tion in the nomination.
CONFERENCE ABANDONED.
The "lialf breeds" used their argu
ments to such success that at 7:3 :
o'clock the number of assemblymei
who went to the chamber was so smal
compared to the number expected
tliat "Vice-President Arthur , who was
in telephone communication with th
door-keepers , ordered the announce
mcnt that the conference was aban
doned and asked those who wished t
see Conkling to come to the hotel.
The stalwarts boldly announce *
throughout the city last night tha
they had fifty-seven signatures of the
stalwftrtsT When asked why , if thej
had 57 names , they didn't call the cau
cus they replied , that they had con
eluded to call one for Monday night
The stalwarts are circulating won
that Grant left Mexico last crcniiu ,
and is coming to Albany to take a
hand in the fight.

Special to the lec.
LINCOLN , Xcb. , May 27 1 a. in.
The dispatches sent from Lincoln to
Omaha and elsewhere touching the
appointment of General McBride as
postmaster of this city , are calculatei
to mislead the public. The great dis
satisfaction exists in the minds of r
few self-appointed managers , who
would dictate all the appointments ii
this county , and who were opposed to
the election of Van Wyck and are noi
yet done fighting him. The appoint
ment would give general satisfaction
imong the better class of republicans.
\Vb want to dictate , is what ails the
opposition.

Cor. Philadelphia Times.
Liverpool is n small village , situa-
te.d about thirty miles north of Harrisburg -
burg , on the west sidd" of the Susque
hamia river. Tlie town boasts of n
population of 838 , jtistr three more
than it numbered in ISfO. Until last
summer the town was known as a
moral place , but now tuo duvil seems
to have taken full charge anyhow , he
possessss the controlling interest. In
the early part of liis < summer the
Mutual Aid -as-iociation of
Hanover , York county , established
an agent here. Thodajnt wont to
work as only a life insurance agent
can work. For a lotig trne , however ,
his eloquence met with 'hry little suc
cess , in fact , there ivo ft only two or
three persons that tojilfjyiny stock -In
that kind jtf'r i J SftgJtiother
wordsj-nfbutting on the life and death
of the aged. But when everytlring
looked dismal and blue for the agent
one of the old men that lie insured
took sick and died , ( aged 83) ) , and one
of the most respectable citizens in the
town held a policy on him to the
amount of $ ; jOUO. Then our moral
town tinned a ooinplete oiijewault.
Every able-bodied man wanted to be
an insurance agent , and every person
that possessed a dollar wanted to take
some insurance.
The country was scoured in every
diicction for good subjects-that is ,
for old men and women thai could not
survive for any length of time. But
soon another trouble arose. The few
companies tliat were doing business at
that time were soon full ; TOU cannot
take out in any one company more
than S15.000 on one person. But the
intelligence of Liverpool soon solved
the problem by starting an aid associa
tion , giving ib the name of Fanners'
and Mechanics' Mutual BenuKt associ
ation. The concern was ready to do
business about the first of last Novem
ber , and has taken since that time
nearly 82,000,000 of insurance , and
ninety-nine onc-liumlredths of it is old
men and women from 75 to fo years
old. There seemed to be SD much
money m the filthy business Hint ten
move of our citizens applied for and
received a. charter i month or two ago
for the purpose of doing a similar busi
ness.
ness.About a do/sen old people have died
in this vicinity , 'lliey were insured ,
some as high as $300,000 , and some
have been supported by the poor au
thorities. The other day an old man
died with a pretty large amount of in
surance on his life. When tha under
taker went to bury him a policy-holder
lemarked that it was a very good coJiin
for the county to furnish Jumpers. He
was answered that the c6tmty would
not bo called on for payment , and as ib
is necessary to have the undertaker's
signature before the insurance money
can be secured , it m y be inferred who
was to pay for the coilin. It used to §
be tiiat when several ladies got togeth
er it was : "Where did you got your
new bonnetetc. . , etc. But now it is :
' 'How much insurance do you carry ? "
"Have Miy of your subjects died
yet. ' " "My old follow must be going
to live foiC/ci * ; I only wit'i lie would
die soo.i. j"biI am tii-oJ. of paying as
sessments. " .A nd "Oh ,
Mrs. So-and-So wi'i ' get a bi-j pull ,
For you know her subject died the
other day. " And 1,0 it goes. Btu
what seems so strange is that i/liose si
that seem the most nitcresJbd are
members of churches. In fad , , some 6 [
ini'iisters are engaged in the nefarious
work. It is common talk that there $
is a minister residing at the other end ;
af this county ( Perry ) who is using re
Ins ministerial influence to further the ;
; yuse of swindling people. It is said tl
that as an : jent lie is a decided suc y4C ,
cess , and sends in more applications 4C ;
than any Onhor two agents in the SC
jounty. And it is understood that SC
lie carries about $23,000 himself. A ftlW'
> romiaent deacon in one of the W'hi
murches here was asked this hicl
juestion : Whether you would noi/ cl
wish the subject dead every time you focl
received an assessment ? With a very cl
long face , lie answered : "Oh , no !
I'hat would bo wicked , very wicked , ,11J
indeed. " That deacon is known to ,11Jt
arry , or did cany , about $15OCO. Jt
Fhc member from this county is Jtfo
mown to be very heavily engaged in foJt
he swindle. Ho is agent for a iium- Jt
jer of companies , receiving agent for JtSJ
evcral , and it is reported that he car SJ !
ies nearly a half million himself.
Uut , as an old lady died a week DC ,
wo ago on whom lie had policies to
he extent of $75,000 , and as she was prJ
n some of the strongest companies prJt :
IG will realize quite a small fortune , Jtor
some say he will receive one third of or
.ho full amount. If such be the case ,
lie can go in another half million. caJt
Another case agitating the minds of Jt
he people here at present is that of
in old woman whom the county has :3 :
cept for years , and who has been a
unatic for a long time. She died a
iliort time ago , and it seems was in-
lurcd very heavily. Those who had
10 stock in her insist that thev must 3 ,
ay. It is supposed that the com-
wnies will pay , as every assessment 07
hey collect they receive their good
ihare of. So it is policy for them to
ay at every death and ask no ques-
ions , which policy they seem to fol- lo
ow to the letter. But it will bo very loJi
lingularif the reform element in our Ji
egislature does not try and put a scope JiQ
o the nefarious business , as it is a in
jruat and growing evil , and none can 1
ell where it will end , as many predict 1til
will lead to minder by the wholesale tilfo
