The Chief IustiCCEhip.

The Chief JustiCCShip.
Ccaye:salion with q gentleman in
the inaer circle OF the Supreme Court
shows that the probsbillties, since the
New York election, and the Rspubli-
can complexion OF the legislature, are
largely IL favor OF Roscoe Couk!ipg's
nomination Tor Chief Justice. His
friends have ascertained, without en-
barrasslng the President. that i: nomi-
mated he will take the position. One OF
the CorneI!s, OF New York; is already
bsisg pushed Tor the succession, The
leading contestants for the next Pre5i-
de5cy, including Grant, favor Conk-
l;ngs appointment. as it will make one
candidate less. Blaine, one OF the Pres-
dental solicitors, has no personal re-
lstions with Conkling, and does not
want his opposition IN active politics.
Csrpenter formerly had influence with
the President, and had made upa slate
bv which he was 70 retire Cadwal!ader
Washburn into the Governorship, and
Senator Howe into the Chief Justice

reelection to the Senate,
There were four Cand.dates on the
Supreme bench. Judge Bradley was
pushed by Secretary Robson, who CZ-
pec,s 10 succeed Stockton in the Sem

Justice OF the bench in priority OF
time. Justice Clifford would be the
Chief Justice by date OF appointment,
bit being a Democrat he has not been
taken into consideration. At the first
opportunity for the place Justice Nil
.er led all rivals, but as he is third in
the date OF his commission, the Presj-
dent considers that the harmony Of the
Bench might be disturbed by his NOM
nation. judge M,ller's friends have
been active, but it is the opinion OF one
OF them from whom these points have
been obtained, that he does no: occupy
the prominent place he once held as 10

The late election in New York, and

Conklings claims TO the foremost

Money for The NaVy-YaraH.
Last ni.ht, about one millioa doIlar2
were sent 20 the ravy-yards at New
York, Philadelphia and Boston, to b.
paii out by the djsbursing officers 'or
repairs and supplies Tor the vessels to
be dispatched to Cuba. This is looked
upon az another evidence OF business.
Strange as it may seem, financial conf
deuce has attended these apparently
re-oIu,e measures. The late effort 10
