"I accomplished my pur pose , " he said in conversation , "hav ing obtained all that I went for with out any great difliculty , despite the attempts of certain newspapers and persons here to create an opposition through talk of annotation , & .c. , th.it w.is caused , 1 think , by people interested in other roads who did not want to see u company oper ating in Movico.that they did not con- tiol or hiHo an interest in. The articles tli.it weio published by the papois heio weie copied into those of Mexico , and at first c.iuscd a little opposition , but I wont before congress and in a shoit speech told them wh.it I wanted , and they ga\o my charter at once. Ono was never issued before in so short .1 time. The road will be in all about 700 miles long , running from the City of Mexico through Pueblo to the Pacific coast , while another runs down to the gulf. It will bo a great benefit to Mexico in developing the resources of the country , and to the United States , bec.iuso in exchange for commodities Mexico will take auch productions as wo best can spare without depriving ua of any precious metal The charter provides for the completion of the road in ton years , but in all probability it will bo finished inside of three years. Four surveying patties are already at work. I shall very likely return their next winter. " BUOTHKULY 1 OVK. "General , the situation of affairs at Albany is of grcit importance just now. Hmo you any objections to giving your opinion on it1' ? "If you want to know what I think of the manner in which Mr. Conkling has been treated by the president and by his colleagues in the senate , I will toll you without any hesitation. I think it is most outrageous , and if you want to know where I stand in the present contest 1 will toll you that I am with Conkling and Platt. Mr , Conkling is my friend ; ho h.is been a warm supporter of mine , but for all that I do not owe him near BO much to-day as Gar- field. It is true that Mr. Conkling did not support Garfield in the Chicago cage convention , but ho saved him in November. Without New York state Mr. Garfield could not have been elected , and without Mr. Conkling Now York state would not luuo gone republican. Whenever tliu state has gene republican in past years the cause could be traced to Conkling and his personal efforts. When I say that Garfield owes moro to Conkling than I do , I do not mean to underestimate the obligations that I owe to him , but I was elected once without the state of Now York , and when it did go for me I wouldlmvnbeenelectbdwithoutit. When Mr. Conkling wont to Warren and commenced his vigorous campaign for the republican party , Garfield mat ters looked very serious , Defeat was almost certain ; it was then , and then only , that the republicans took heart and from that timp on the battle turnod. Mr. Conkling wont into the campaign because ho was a republican and bec&uso he desired the BUG- cess of hia party , hot boo u a of any trade hg Lad ra&de with Garfiold.

Secretary Win dom visited the board of trade yester day afternoon , and addressed that body. His remarks wore mainly on transportation. Ho was in favor of a system which would permit competi tion , and that system was connection with the great lakes and rivers.

Ho called attention to the importation of the 8100,000,000 in gold , and the digging out of the earth of from 280,000- 000 to $100,000,000 moro during last year. He believes that this con dition would continue for a long time. He saw no indication of a change and there would bo none so long as the people paid their debts and were not extravagant.

A decided seiiHution was occasioned hero last night at 12 o'clock by the unaccount able conduct of a bride , the wife of a young doctor , to whom she was united in mani.igu ut Owonsboto , Ky. , on Tuesday morning lust. The pair left Ouciishoro , and aruvcd at Euuisvillo , Ind. , that evening , anil wtoppeil at the St. Gootno hotel. They reached heio last evening and occupied ioom'l2 , on the third Hour of tliu St. Nicholas hotel. They weiu modest in their demeanor , and attracted no particular attention. Duiing the early part of the evening the young doctor spent a few minutes in the oflico , making inqniic.s about re lations residing in the western part of the county. Hu retired HOOII after 10 o'clock , and between 11 and 12 UIOHU in the neghborliood of the hotel wore startled on hearing the wild screams of a f enwlo who Hueiued to be in great fright , and determined to do bodily injury to herself. The woman was the bride , who deliberately jumped out of ono of the east windows of the room , but instead of striking the brick pav eniunt below , fell almo.st length wise upon tlio balcony twelve feet beneath - neath the window , from which she emerged attired only in her night- clothes. An ollicer rushed upon the balcony , but when hu arrived tliu woman , who had climbed over the railing , waa about to drop off , but hu caught her , and finally dropped her into the arms of two men beneath the balcony. She scorned strangely frightunod about something , anil on referring to tier husband , cried oql : "Kill him ; take him away , take him away. " She wan borne to her room , but she became so violent that her mortified husband hud to leaye and stay away all night. Shoha a strong iivuraion to her husband , though she pronounces him one of the kindest of man and the best man in Kentucky. 'fho loony bride becamu rational this forenoon , and left forNiuntiu in com pany with her husband and relations , She was not seriously injured by thu full , The episode is thu talk of the town. It is learned that the lady in ex plaining her conduct uaid she had erupt quietly fioin her bed , leaving her hiiHband asleup , and throw herself from thu windo\\ with the intention of killing hoisulf , The reason she gave for thu act was huruvoraion to married hfu , of which she had had only two days' oxpuniiiicu.
