 How Roscoe Takes It. He Returns Thanks to His Supporters = Arthur Won't Say Anything.
 NEW YORK, July 22.-Senator Conkling was found alone this evening by reporter of the National Associated Press in his room in the Fifth Avenue Hotel. He had not received any callers since early in the afternoon. He appeared in his usual spirits and had been busy for several hours attending to mass of correspondence. He declined to talk on the election of Lapham, except that he said 1t would relieve him from many cares and allow him to transact a large amount of aecumula- ted business. ''All have to say at present" he added, t'is stated in the following dis patch,'' which he handed to a reporter:
 NEW YORK, July 22. To Hon. James Armstrong;, Member Of the Assembly,
 Albany:
 The heroic constancy of the Spartan band which % long has fought for principle and truth has my deepest gratitude ar d a1miraH 'n- Borne down by forbidden and adherent forces and sgencles which before had sway in the Republican party, the memory of their courage and manhood will long live in the highest The future will ytndicate their wisdom and crown them with approval Please ask all who voted for me to receive my most grateful acknowledgement. ROSCOE CoNKLINe
 Conkling remains at the Fifth Avenue In conversation tonight he stated that he was not surprised at the result, but that he had nothing to say beyond the dispatch above quoted The news from Albany found the ex Senator 1n his room surrounded by piles of law books and engaged in arranging the details of vast amount of law business which has been accommodating upon his hands. L Iao, ally besieged by wealthy htigants from all parts of the country and by rich Englishmen having investments in the United States who have offered ths most tempting inducements to assume change of their law affairs. No lawyer ever was so pressed. It was while | deeply engaged in studying over this com pensating future that the great stalwart re- ceived the news of his ultimate defeat and of | the election of his successor. The tidings l seemed to neither surprise nor disconcert | him. He answered it at once without ner- vousness or hesitation by quickly penning the | Armstrong dispatch. The langu ge of the | telegram clearly indicates Conklings feelings at the time, as it was hurried and unstudied | expression. He betrays no dissatisfaction over | the ending of the contest, but freely | states it as his belief that the Republican | party will ere long discover that it is a mis- | take to allow it's management to rest in the | hands of the men controlling the half-breed l faction. Further than this at present he l will not say, but the public need not be sur prised if at some not distant day Conkling | should afford it one of his characteristic | statements detailing from his view the full | history of the just closed Senatorial dead | lock. There can hardly be 8 doubt that he | is contemplating such, but when to be made | must depend upon the time he shall decide 1 either to continue in politics or to devote his l future to the practice of law. At the pres | ent time he has reached no decision. He re- | fuses to even say whether at present he is | considering the future at all. Conkling will | remain at the Fifth Avenue for some time. l Tonight the trains from Albany brought no | legislators nor politicians.
 Vice President Arthur was found at his res- l idence in Lexington avenue this evening. He l to talk upon Laphams election.
