AWAshfxGfoN dispatch says Of the
reports current there in regard to the vacan'
cy in the United States Supreme Court
caused BY The death Of Judge Clifford. Ex'
Attorney General Devens and Chief Justice
Gray, Of ,Nassachpsetts. are candidataas 1oE
the appointment, and it is said every New
England State WI have one or more candi'
dates, as it is assumed by the people that the
location IL the appointee will be from new
England. The talk Of giving the place to
ex-senator Conkling Is regarded as absurd,
and Conkling's friends do not hesitate TO
say that he would not have it. There are
some prominent Republicans who hold that
q Democrat should be appointed, and by
some It is thought probable that II Presl-
dent Garfield survives he will appoint
Democrat. ,ao.i rf|r. IT,. 1ati"i
TIE London Lancet, in speaking OF
President GarieldRs wound, says: "A poor-.
ton Of the dress may have been carried into
the wound, and each abscess that forms Is
not onlya direct source Of danger from the
pain and fever, and the danger Of its,spread'
Ing deeply. but with each there Is fresh
liability Of blood poisoning. 1t Is quite I'M
possible to feel any certainty that we may
not hear Of another abscess or relapse, and1
is ofigreat importance that the patients con-
stitutional yigor should be maintained at as
high 4 pitch as possible in view OF future
troubles. The absence Of fever and exhaus:.
ton removes any cause for immediate alarm,
but until the wound is quite healed and the
bullet either removed or safely encysted,
there will be liability to recurring assesses,
