DENIAL By CoNKLING.

Senator Conkling denies the truth of a
published stormy interview between himself
and Representative Hiscock, of New York,
alleged to have taken place in the senate
chamber He says it is manufactured out of
whole cloth.
MRS. FARRELL LIKELY TO co.
The charges of Irregularities in the man
agement of the post-otiice ut Covington KY,
are such as to make a change necessary, and
itnow looks as if Mrs. Farrell will have to
60, Notwithstanding the efforts of her friends
to have her retained.
MRS. CAMERON.
Mrs. Cameron, says Gazette special,
looks .handsomer this winter than ever be-
fore. She moves BIS if born 10 the purple,
and wears her honors with such quiet natu-
raj and unaffected dignity that it is no won
der she is such a universal favorite. Should
Don Cameron be made Garfield's secretary
Of war, every one will congratulate his wife
with sincerity, and there is no young woman
of to-day better able 10 I'LL that position.
DEFEAT sQUINTs Al BILLINGS
Redfeld learns that the opposition to the
confirmation of Judge Billings has assumed
proportions that reader his defeat more than
probable. Form4l charges, which, it is un-
ders.ood, involve his integrity as a Judge,
having been preferred in writing, by eX-Dis-
trict Attorney FdrrOw, Billings must have
opportunity to file au answer and the judi
ciary committee of the senate time TO inves-
tgate deliberately. ALI this will cause long
delay, and even if the nomination should
fnally be reported fax Srably, certain senators
from the states within his circuit think it will
be rejected.
JOY TO sCoUEDRELS.
President Hayes, says an indianapolis
Journal special, has used the executive Glenn
ency toward the inmates of the penitentiaries
moro than any of his predecessors. The in
mates Of these institutions evidently appre-
ciate this fully. They know that his term of
office is about to expire. The consequence
is an overflow of applications for pardon.
The pardon clerk Of the department of JUS
tice, who makes preliminary report upon
each case that comes up for executive elem
ency, Is kept busy long after office hours
in listening TO arguments in behalf of con-
victs, and in fling the papers brought or for
Warded IN their behalf
THE TRAIL OF THE SERPENT.
It was mentioned faw days ago that Carl
Schurz had refused TO allow his department
to be canvassed for subscriptions to aid tho
committee having charge of the inaugura-.
ton of the new president. The chief clerk
of the department now says that the clerks
of the department we're bled three times by
assessments on their salaries to elect General
Garfield, and tho citizens Of Washington
ought to inAugurate him. In spite Of this
confession Schurz the great promoter of the
sham civil service policy Of this administra-
ton, frequently declared during the campaign
that his clerks should not be mulcted. l.
appears, however, that they were, three
times.
PIG HEADED PENNsYLyANIANs,
George @. Gorham, says Cincinnati
Commercial special, has returned from
Harrisburg, where he has been for some days.
When asked what would be the result Of the
Senatorial contest, he said Oliver will be
elected some time before now and the 4th Of
March. 1t depends upon how long the op.
position will hold out. divers friends are
pledged, and will never yield, and they are
so numerous that no election can be made
without them. Some of the Pennsylvanians
here think that perhaps the deadlock will
continue until the adjournment, when the
governor would appoint Oliver, and the cleo
ton would 60 over TO the next legislature.
Such n course would NOT endsnger the loss
of q senator to the republicans, as there is &c
chance for the democrats to have majority
