lust rahuve the earth, and they presented a

was in attendance on her father during his
Illness, but her grief was 30 great aud uncon'
troHabls that her uncle brought her with him
to hls home IN New York city on Thursday

-Of Che new Judge of the United States su-
preme Court, o Washington letter says: ut
10 learned from the best OF sources that the
appointment Of Hon. Ward Hunt, of New
York, to the Supreme Bench, was made by the
President on the direct personal solicitation
of Senator Conkling. E1-Solicltor General
Bffstow would undoubtedly have received the
appointment but for this. Mr.. Hunt Is over
sixty yeart of age, is ex.chief justice OF New
York, and is a resident of.Mr. Conkling's own
City OF Utica. It was said openly at the capi-
tol, to-day by those who are well Informed
that. Mr.. Hunt Is to be a mere locum tenens
for' Mr.. CoukAng, whose aspirations for the
supreme Bench have long been a cause OF
comment among mis- associates, and who will
not himself: be eligible until after the fourth of
March, when his present senatorial term ex-
pires.n
The Concord IN. H. Patriot says that in
aletter to the Hon. Mason W. Tappan, dated
November 8, one OF the very last that Mr..
Greeley wrote, he expresses CREST gratitude
ID Nj! Tappan for going into the recent con-
iestiln his behalf with euch zeal, and says, In
his gravely ocular manners: II have been
20 bitterly assailed that I hardly know wheth-
er.Iwas running for the Presidency or for the
penitsntiary." Mr.. Greeley thus speaks of
the death of his wife I'm the darkest hour
my long-sufsring vile left; not too soon, as
abe had suffered TOO deeply sud long. laid
her in the grave With hard, dry eyes. Well, 1
am used up. I have slept little for weeks,
and my eyes are hard TO close, while they
soon5open again." Certain illusions made In
the letter, as stated by MI. Tsppan, the Patriot
says, We are not at liberty at present to sPe-
city; but hope that he will find 1t consistent
with proprlety ultimately to publish the whole
letter, the contents of which are specially In
terssting on account OF their conveying the
latest Impressions of Mr.. Greeley's mind on
the situation Of. public affairs.
