Does Judge Robertson know what places he
might have had with Mr.. Conkling's consent 7
Perhaps he does not. Here is list from one " no
knows whereof he speaks. II will be remembered
that the ststement was made in sober earnest some
time since that Mr. Coukling was perfectly willing
that Judge Robertson should be appointed TO any
place ortside Of the State County Of New
York. This, il seems was not joke. Judge
Robertson might have had the vacant place on the
bench Of the Court Of Claims or been m9dc Consul

A friend Of ex-senator Conkling said to-day that
the letter of resi- gnation was very hastily drawn,
aud the real idea back of it had not been clearly
pressed. This was that the LEGISLATURE hal
questcd the two Senators 10 vote for Judge Robert

this and therefore resigned, thus asking the Legs
