 WASHINGTON, November 19.-A letter received here says that Gen Harry White. of Philadelphia, who failed to be reelected to Congress, will make an active canvass for the 1 clerkship of the House. This will make three Pennsylvania applicants or the plsce-ex- Clerk McPherson Gen. White and D. s. Forney. It is said the Camerons will use their influ. ence against McPherson, because of the active part he took in Blaine's interest in the Convention of 1876 and at Chicago last summer.
 The appointment of Gen. Miles as Chief Signal Officer, which seems to be assured, will make another vacancy oA Gen. Sherman's staff, which will promote Lieut. Col. A. McD. McCook of the general staff, to be Colonel of the Fifth Infantry. The vacancy caused by the death of Col. Auden- reid, has not been filled Gen. Sher- man is in no hurry to make selections for his staff.
 The appointment by Gov. Wills, of Louisiana, of a successor to Senator SpotfOrd, deckased, who contested Senator Kellogg's seat, indicates that this old contest is to be re- opened Kellogg, howevers is safe, as st least five Democratic Senators, including Bayard and Thurman, are in accord that KellOgg's case is res adjudicata.

At the office of Sydney Dillon the reporter was au- thoIized to state that the report had not the slightest justificatien-in fact, the officials of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad Company said it was intended to continue their line into Mexico. but SO far as any consol- idation of any Pacific lines is con cerned, there was no ground for the report in any shape. One of the of ficials of the Wabash, St. Louis and Pacific Railroad Company said that whatever consolidation schemes mi ght be made in thefuture, nothing at pres ent justified coloring to the report as published this morning. !
