A COMPROMIHE PROPOSED.
ALBANY , N. Y. , Juno 22. Immediately -
diatoly after the adjournment of the
investigating committee this morning ,
the half-breeds held a caucus in which
they agreed upon a program that upon
the meeting of the joint convention
and before the balloting began Sena
tor Lyndo should nriso to a questipnof
privilege , and announce a proposition
by the half-breeds for a compromise ;
that they would vote solely for ono
half-breed and ono stalwart , the half-
breed to bo Dopow and the stalwart
any ono but Conkling or Platt , but
that they would not vote for cither of
those if the dead-lock waa maintained
until December Hist.
In order to prove the sincerity.
Ex-vico president Wheeler was with
drawn and n half breed commissioner
Was sent around to consult with
half breed members , instructing them
to concentrate on any stalwart except
Conkling or Platt. Wheeler's repre
sentative agreed to compromise after
telegraphic communication with
"Wheeler , and Laphain was selected na
the agent and then instucted by Rob
ertson to notifiy all half breeds of the
intended programme. This agent
says that the proposition meets with
chthusiastic endorsement from all the
half breeds , which shows that they do
not desire to control the senatorial
election , but are willing to compro
mise in the interests of the party.
THK JOINT CONVENTION.
ALBANY , N" . Y. , Juno 22. The
joint conference resumed session
at noon. The hlaf breeds de
cided to postpone the Lapham pro
gramme until after the first ballot .tc
test their strength.

ser to Conkling resulted : Conkling 7 ,

drawn.
The second assembly ballot for a
successor to Conkling , resulted :
Conkling 22 , Jacobs 45 , Wheeler 30 ,
Tnuham 13 , Cornell 1 , Daniels 11.
Total 118.
A hot discussion ensued pending the
call of the second ballot , and great con-
stornatirn was created because of the
announcement by Senator Fowler ,
democrat , that it had been decided
best to withdraw John C. Jacobs , the
democratic candidate , because of the
question raised as to the
eligibility , of Jacobs on account of
holding office under the state
government , namely , that of state
senator and that if ho should got a
majority of the ballots the republi
cans would probably attempt to cheat
him out of Iiia election because of
technical points. Therefore it haft
been decided by the democrats to
chance their votes to Clarkson N.
Pottor. Tlio announcement created
great excitement.
Among the democrats nn extraordi
nary scone ensued , "arious members
changing their votes to other c.uuli-
datcH. prominent among whom were
J. N. O'Kolly , Abram S. Hewitt ,
Jno. T. Huffman. S. S. Cox mid others.
Several members objected that
they would not chungo until
authorized by a formal caucus that
Jacobs' nomination wassuspicious. A
row ensued between Sharpe and Hus-
ted as to the position of Gov. Cornell ,
Slmrpo insisting that the Governor
had not intimated in any deirco his
desires regarding the senatorial con-
tost. Ilustcd said it was false.
The ballot resulted : Conkling 32 ,
Wheeler 50 , Lapham 1C , Cornell 2 ,
Jacobs 12 and scattering 1.
The votes for the democratic candi
dates were from 1 to 4 each , except
Potter who had 7. Tlio democratic
candidates included John T , Hoffman ,
Samuel J. Tilden , Horatio Seymour ,
Ei-astns Coming , etc. The total vote
was 155.
DEMOCRAT * ! IN OAUCUH.
In the session of the democratic
caucus this afternoon an explanation
was demanded of Jacobs why ho with
drew from the candidacy. Ho said
ho- had been informed by" republican
that the governor that ho
Jacobs ) was ineligible nnd that the
idministralion party had determined
o keep pushing Wheeler's vote close
: o his in order that in any emergency
should Jacobs bo declared elected the
'ovornor would refuse to give a corti-
lento to Jncobs nnd would give it to
Wheeler instead , as the man having
; ho next highest number of votes.
Tlio information came to him sudden-
y , and ho had not decided to act un
til ho saw Wheeler's votca growing ab
normally larger. Ho had no time for
consultation with the party loaders
and acted as ho thought was for the
lest interest of the democratic party.
Spinola nnd othora.urgod Jncobs to
resume his candidacy , stating that the
democratic party in the Rcnntu would
stand by him in any contest.
ErastiiB Brooks made a long speech
in opposition , saying the utato consti
tution distinctly prohibited tlio can
didacy of a member of th6 legislature
and hoped that Jacobs would refuse
to further embarrass the democratic
party. Brooks' speech caused n stain-
> cdo in the caucus and votes for can-
lidatos were scattering. Gen. W. S.
Hancock was nominated. Objection
was made to Hancock because hn was
n federal officer and was disqualified.
Roll call was ordered nnd Jacobs
withdrew his name.
CONKL1NO HIES TO UTICA.
ALBANY , Juno 22. Bangs nrrivcd
10:10 : , Conkling suddenly left this
iftcrnoon. Ho went imtlio direction
if Utica , BO hurridly that ho took the
way train. Ono of his friends told
the agent of the National Associated
Press , that ho wont to meet a friend
and to seek needed relaxation.
A speech printed in" The Herald
this morning , purporting to have been
delivered at tbo caucus last nictht , was
n pure invention of the agent National
Associated Press. No such speech
was delivered , nor was any speeches.
The talk was quito informal. Think
ing perhaps Conkling had prepared a
speech , which ho intended to deliver ,
and failing to do that , gave it to The
Herald reporter for publication , The
agent , of the Associated press , asked
Conkling before ho loft town whether
such was the fact. Conkling said : I
neither delivered a speech , nor pre
pared ono , nor authorized anything in
the form of a speech to bo delivered.
There was no occasion to neither pre
pare any formal statement nor tc
make any. The agent of the National
Associated Press , pursued his investi
gation further , and found the follow
ing facts : After the caucus The
Herald reporter saw Conkling , and
asked him what ho had talked aboul
at the caucus. Conkling replied , "Oh ,
about nothing in particular. 1 refer
red to the corruption which has been
alleged ; made some reference to tin
present bribery investigation. " Sail
the reporter. "I can't believe bul
what you must have said something
. " ' ' else " saic

Conkling , "good night. " The repor
ter bade good him night , and com
posed a speech and telegraphed it aa

of William Morgan , the man who wa
alleged to have betrayed the secrets o
the Free Masons in his book ontitloc
"Morgan's Illustrations of Masonry , '
fifty-five years ago , and who was sai (
to have been abducted atidmndu nwa ;
with before the woik was given to the
public.
The bones were found in the towi
of Pembroke , 11 miles west of Ba
tavia covered with thick layers o
rock and dirt. A silver ring will
monogram "W. M. " was found with tin
remains , also a small tin box whicl
dropped to pieces on being handled
A manuscript was in it beaiing the
words : "Masons , " "Liar , " "Prison,1
"Kill , " and the full name "Henry
Brown. " At the time of Murganudis
appearance Henry Brown was n law
ycr inBatavin and a prominent Mason
Ho also wrote a book a few years afto
Morgan's abduction showing how that
although Morgan was abducted then
was no proof ho was murdered.
If it shall now appear that the body
found is accompanied ay a thrcatenin ]
letter signed by Brown , the inference
will bo irrcsistablo that the remain
are these of William Morgan , am
that Henry Brown the great dofendo
of the Masons of Batavin , was ono o
the murderers. This discovery bide
fair to explode other theories regard
ing the fate of Morgan.

Senator Van Wyckof Nebraska , sail
lie always was glad to hear other pee

had his own. Tliiu question of tin
river navigation was growing inori
nerious every year. In the infancy o
the country there was no connoctioi
except by the water of this Htreaui
and no railroad found its way to it
To-day it has so increased in popnla
tion and in resources that our presen
railroads are inaiitlicient , and ten youri
from now not only will our ] > opulatioi
be doubled , but the productions thoi
will bo double what they are now
Bomo other meaim must then bi
adopted for carrying thesu in
creased productions to market
Wo shall want to double the number o
railroads. Fortunately in a conven

cuuacd without fear of imputation

This is a question of interest to al
the country , to the United States am
to other countries who look to uu fo
broad. And when wo talk of the expenditure
pendituro it is really but a trifle , ;
mere bagatelle , whether it takes oil
million ; or five millions , or ton mil
lions to produce this great result. T
see that the money that is appropriate !
is honestly and judiciously oxpondoi
that is , all this thu government hate
to do.
Look back for a moment and up
what ban been done in the way of rail
ways during the last ten years. W
cannot realize the immense struc
tures built at an enormous expense ,
the enormity of the wealth sunk in
railways running east of Chicago.
This question of transportation is
important now , but it will bo more
important in the future when it takes
two bushels to get the third bushel of
grain to market. Now , it won't defer
for the government to haggle over
this matter. This government has a.
vast pile of money , and it
is spending it all over this
nation on rivers that nro
less dangerous than ours. Here wo
have n kind of wntor that is sapping
at the industry and wealth of the na
tion. Now if wo can gather this
water in ns ( his nation is prepared to
do to conccntratu its power and to
prevent fmthor risings wo benefit
every industry.
The people of the Missouri valley
should unite , havingeomnum interests.
Your railroad is strong , but it ean
wield its power through half a dozen
men over millioim of this country.
But this other great causa has been
powerless through want of concentra
tion , The opinion they have of us at
Washington is that we are very well
as honors and drawers of water but no
good as politicians.
Ijook nt the rates to-day from Chi-
cagn. fn summer 15 cents n hundred ,
and JUi cents and > IO centn in winter ,
This is only for want of water trans
portation.
It is a navigable river and it is not
a matter of a few millions of dollars
when it effects our eommerco with
Europe , lly the river MO would have
a nun u rapid nnd cheaper way to the
markets of the old world.
There is no necessity to discuss the
matter of statistics. Wo nro not
trenching upon any rinhln. A great
many railroad men advocate the open
ing up of tlio river. It hurts no rail-
oad.
oad.Tho time has now como when this
Ivor navigation is a necessity. Open
p the river that eommerco may llow
; ito it.
Wo must gradually tnko the 5m-
lense wealth in the hand of a few and
ot it bo divided a little more among
lioso who will develop the country ,
jet these who have used their braina
ml muscles to develop the country
et a fair proportion. These who
ave been struggling and looking for-
vurd in Moses did to the promised
and.
It in now time that the nation took
i littlu of what properly belongs to it
0 dovolopo these nveis and the na-
ion will got a hundred fold rotnrn for
ho few millions of dollars and the
vholo country bo benefited.

Col. Hepburn , of Iowa , then ad-
diessed the mooting and Raid :
MR. CHAIRMAN AND GKNTLKMKN :
Sull'ering aa wo do from want of trans
portation , how is it possible for us to
; ot our pioduco to market ? I urn not
disposrd to cavil at the means wo
Imvo ; I don't tight for fighting sake ;
1 recognise tbo railway's obligations ,
and 1 think the present prosperity
of this state is largely duo
to their advent ; when a number-
of years wo were waiting for their-
coming. I remember how wo watched
and prayed that the act might pass.
But wluln no beneficial wo must bo
master of them. They must bo under
onr control. Corporations , while oc
cupying valuable positions , seem to
think it necessary to act in rebellion ,
to the people. They must bo con
trolled.
I believe that thorp nro difficulties
in the way of getting this appropri
ation.
Under five months ago I heard n ,
distinguished gentleman state it as his
opinion his doubts as to thu constitu
tionality of aiding out crprises such a
the one engaging the attention of thin
assembly. Ifo mentioned some
thing about it being necessary to got
ten millions to secure two
millions for legitimate purpose n
and Unit large appropriations had
been asked for the improvement of
rivers whoso names did not appear on
the map. Some times it was for thu
improvement of push navigation.
That is to say the navigator simply
pushed the boat along.
In conclusion Col. Hepburn said
that ho was sure they would bo suc
cessful it they only persevered and ho
would on nil occasions give his most
earnest , cordial nnd hearty co-opera
tion.
The Medical
To the Editor ol the L'eu :
The bill passed by the last legisla
ture for regulating the practice of
medicine was highly commended by
the fraternity whoso business it affect
ed. In most counties it has been.
cheerfully complied with , and wo hare
yet to hoar of a single instance in
which itu enforcement has been open
ly declared against. In an adjoining
county , however , an alleged physician
who in unable to register legularly
under this law is continuing his prac
tice as student of a physician living in
another town' eighteen miles distant ,
whom ho does not even sco once n
fortnight , The law was evidently in
tended to protect the unfortunate
public from bciiiu ; madu victims to the
ill-advised and inexperienced uxperi-
mentists in medicine , and iilsn to pro
tect the professional fraternity.
The student of medicine who also
practices is supposed to bo guided in
all that ho does by his superior , but
if that Huperior be not seen oftener
than once in a fortnight , very little ,
if any , good can bo obtained from his
counsels. Tlio publia will in
terpret Biicli a course as an at
tempt to evade the law , and
it it ) only right that thu
physician who thus lends himself to
unol her for the evasion of the law , in
tended as n protection to his profes
sion , should bo discountenanced by
liisi fellow practitioners , and his in
fidelity made public to the world.
