The Milwaukee Daily Ners gives seua-
tor Carpenter as authority for statement
that the Chief Justiceship of the United
States will be offered to senator How're, Of
Wisconsin, "should It be declined by
" Senator Conkling." If The position has
been offered TO Conking il is the most

"luus politics" Senator Conkliug is
chiefly, if not wholly, a politician, and
has 40 such reputation AS a lawyer as
ought to be requisite to tniltle him TO the
offer Of such a place. He has been a sue
cessfu and persistent wire puller be has
been the warm personal adherent of the

President Grants reputation. that the in

We are pleased to see that the interest
in behalf OF Cuba is increasing in New

well for the delivering Of their Island
from SPANS oppression.
The New York papers have been per-
sistently assailing the Brooklyn police for
incompctcncy on account OF their failure
to solve the mystery Of the Goodrich
murder, hut il appears that the police
have been doing their duty with tact and

to show a very decided contrast between
them and their metropolitan neighbors
who have utterly failed to solve the mys-
terry Of several murders within the past
few years.

yellow Dog.
There are people who lgnorantly sup
pose that great minds arc constantly div
log into the unfathomable or soaring after
the unattainable, but the faith of such |
must have received a rude shock when
they came to read the morning papers
A case before a Washington Police Couit
will dispel any fond delusion that States
men concern themselves not with the
every day topics which vex or anoy COM
mon minds. The suit is by no less a person.
&c than the Hon. Caleb Gushing, against
one Thomas Kelley, and the cause of the
controversy is yellow dog.
The Hon. Fernando Wood, of New
York, during his absence from the Capt.
tai, gets his house there taken care of by
one Thomas Kelley who lives in the back
part of it. Mr.. Kelley is the owner
of large yellow dog, which pos esses
a voice of wonderful depth and compass,
which like most possessors of a powerful
voice he is fond of showing off, Ills
bark g is Of harsh kind ant. falls on the
80 ear like blow" and Mr.. Gushing who
lives in that immediate neighborhood de-
clares that this barking, which, by the
way, continues almost incessently, day
and night, interrupts conversation,
interferes with study aud prevents
sleep. He accordingly wrote
to Mr.. Wood at New York, to be
kind enough to abate the nuisance. Mr..
Wood replied that it was out of his power
to do so, but that II he would write to
Kelley, who was temporarily atenant, he
would doubtless kill the dog. This was
done, but Kelley would not kill the brute,
and hence this suit. The dog seems TO
have had a notion of the nature OF the
proceedings, for he " went for" the balm
wh1 went to serve the summons on his
master. The result, however, is likely to
bring the yellow dog TO grief on account
Of his vain display of his voice, (Which
by the way should be a warning to Sena-
tor Conkling, of New York; and the
Court has ordered Kelley to kill or re-
move the brute and required him Ia
deposit twenty-five dollars as security
that he will do so.

The editor Of the Washington Star ac-
companied thet Congressional excursion
lists on their recent visit to New Orleans.
He describes dreman's funeral in the
Crescent City.
We went ont yesterday by a Canal
street car to the cemeteries on the out
skirts of the city. The famous shvll road
leading out to Lake Ponchartrain runs by
the street car track, and on this she'll
road was a tireman's funeral procession.
It wars the fastest funeral / ever raw,
nearly rivaling that at Old Cambridge, as
described by Durvage. IL would seem
that the hearse horses must have run
with "a masheen previously, and
thought they were heading for IRE in
stead of cemetery for they pulled out
at tremendous rate, and the whole pro-
cession went laundering after them ut a
two forty pace over the shell-road. After
awhile the procession got divided into
two or three attachments, the fast trotters
keeping up to the heafse, and the broken
down livery horses breaking up unable to
&c the pace. One man, who with his
girl, occupied notop buggy got nearly
as red in the face as the color of his
shirt, in his frantic efforts to force his
wheezy old beast to keep up with the pro
cession. Some of the tiremon who were
Delated, or who were unprovded with
carriages, rode out In our street car, and
they insisted that our driver should
keep up with the funeral. This made il
lively. Our street car made the best time
on record. Squads OF laborers were em-
plIyed all along the line wheeling ear tn
to I'LL up the old canal, and II was inter
estirg to hear our driver yell at them Ia
