crows over tho good credit of his

financial matters os tho state of
New York. From 1807 to 1874
tho radicals, who were iu i>owcr
during that period, robbed the
state of $9,000,000. Alabama very
often pays its interest three or
four months before it is due and is
safe as to money matters.”

The little daughter of Mr. Robert
Rickctson, who lives a few miles
from Wnrrenton, was painfully
hurt a few days since by stepping
on n cambric needle as it stood on
its point in tbe floor, threaded. It
passed eyeforemost, thread and all,
up into thc heel, nearly the whole
lengtli of the needle. Mrs. Ricket-
son endeavored to pull it out by
;ho thread, but thc thread gave way
leaving the needle unmoved. Mr.
R. then brought thc little suflerer
to town, and the doctors soon re
lieved her. Since then she has not
even limped from the wound, so
readily and completely did it
heal.

The Dauvillc (III.) Commercial,
republican, has this'to say alioiit llic
stalwart:
Mr. Conkling Is an exceedingly
diflieult "grout and good mail” to
please. His recent nomination nml
confirmation as associate justice
now seems u very silly and useless
farce, as it was doubtless well
known that lie would not accept it
licforc it was made. It was a farce,
however, in which the president
nnd senate acted their pans. Just
"lint good this whole proceeding
can do Mr. Conkling is not appar
ent. It lias only revealed one
thing and that is that he feels hu
miliated by the silly and idotie
course which brought about his
political death and that lie is now
as uiqiopular as ever. Mr. Couk-
ling can never reclaim himself in
public estimation, and any attempt
to whitewash him will meet thc in
dignant rebuke of tUe |>co|>lc who
remember his recent conduct.

An exchange explains Mr. Conk-
ling’s notion in not declining tho
nomination of justice before it was
sent to tbe senate:
Tho President wrote to Mr. Conk-
ling at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, an-
nouncing that he intended to make
the nomination und asking the ex
Senator to telegraph at onco if lie
was not willing to accept. The let
ter reached New York just after
Mr. Conkling had left for Utica.
The President supposing from tho
delay in answering that thc ap
pointment would bo accepted, sent
tho nomination in. Mr. Conkling
received the first news of his nomi
nation from tlie newspapers and
got thc letter from thc President
afterward, lie at onco replied
that had he received it earlier lie
would have declined. But tho
nomination had been violently at
tacked in tlie Senate and there was
a prospect for a contest, and Mr.
Conkling decided not to withdraw
under fire. So he waited for thc
action of the Semite, thought tho
matter over, aud finally concluded
to stand by Ids original determi
nation.
