Tho Utica Observsr-D Democrat. reoog-

upon the subject Of his appointment to
the supreme bench: "A few statements
which We are about tolmake upon abso-
Lutte authority furnish some tangible
grounds upon which to base opinion.
Several weeks ago Arthur said he was
trying to prevail upon Conkllng to take
the supreme court vacancy. Later Mr..
Conkling said mo-" and shook his head
emphaticaally when the supreme court
vacancy was mentioned in connection
with his name. Yesterday Conkling and
his wife visited Governor Seymour and
and first learned of his appointment on
his return from Deerheld. To put man
on the supreme bench shackles him.
Oonkling might take it. Everybody
showed indifference, but in the light Of
Hoar's and the newspaper attacks evinc-

CONGRESSIONAL.
SENATE.

Washington, March l--Mr. West in.
troduced in the senate bill to deprive
national banks OF their power to issue
circulation after July lst Of this year.
He said he knew the finance committee
was opposed to this bill aud therefore
he would beg of them not TO hurry it,
but give the senate chance to vote on
it.
Mr.. McDill presented resolution Of
the Iowa legislature praying that the
patent laws lbe amended 80 as to pre-
vent unjust actions.
Mr.. Windows resolution from the
committee on foreign relations for an
investigation as to the loss of certain
state papers and to the improper conncc-
tion of government officers or members
of congress with claims or grants in con-
nection with tho government of Chill
and Peru was taken up.
Mr.. Bayard moved to amend by ad-
ding specific adjunct subject
to Inquiry following whether
any promises Or stipulation by which in :
tervention by the United States and con-
troversies existing between Chill and
Peru, or Chill and Bolivia, he's been ex-
pressed, or implicitly given any person
or persons officially connected with the
government of the United States, or
whether influence in any way was exert
ed, promised or intended in connec-
tion with or in relation to said
contracts by any one officially
connected with the government of the
United States. Mr.. Bayard's amendment
passed without objection, and the res
olution as amended was adopted. After
the morning hour unfinished business
was taken up. The Chinese bill was TEN.
porarily laid aside for a speech by Mr..

better accommodation for library by
congress.

Conklinr,s Case.

Washington. Marchl The Post states
positively that Conkling has declined
the associate justiceship and suggested
Clarence A. Seward tor the place.
Tho report that Conkling had declined
to the president and signlfied his desire
for the appointment of Clarence Seward
to the supreme bench was printed to-day,
but it is not credited.
The senate expects to take up Conk-
lings nomination and act upon it this
afternoon. II Mr.. Conkling has signi-
ded q desire to decline to the president,
the senate has not yet received any
notice Of the fact, and it il not believed
that Conkling has intimated hls purpose
yet. Several attempts to organize an
opposition to Conkling in the senate have
been made, but all without success.
There was some talk this morning OF q
democratic vote in opposition, but sena-
tors on that side are evidently not dis
posed to make any fight. Leading dem
ocratic senators were advised that if they
could get their side of the chamber to
oppose Conkling. enough republicans
would join to reject him. The
democrats favored such a coalition
but it seems no now to have been aban'
doned. Conking has some strong
friends among the democrats. Voorhees,
has spoken in his favor, and Harris
Cockrell and other democrats are count
ed among his friends. Present indica.
tions are that only three or four vote.
will be cast against him. Several demo.
Gratis have stated that they will not vote
at all.
The report of the Judiciary committee
on the nomination of Conkling was at
first thought to be unanimous. but Bay.
ard. who has not been seen about the
matter, declined to sign it, though he
said he would not make q minority re.
port against the confirmation. The i'm
preston in the senate is that there will
be some discussion over the case.

IRON AND CALIsAYA BARK have long
been esteemed by the medical profession
AS among the most reliable OF tonics, and
when the celebrated DIR. HARTER conceiv-
ed the idea of combining them with phos-
pilates. he formed a tonic that has proved
beycnd any question TO be superior TO any
offered TO The public, and one that no intel
ligent physician would refuse to sanction
or to recommend; In fact, two-thirds OF the
DIR. HARTER's IRON Tonic sold in the
North, East and West. is through physi-
clans prescriptions, aud is not classed In
the same category with patent or proprie-
tarv medicines. There can be no doubt
that in cases Of dyspepsia in It's worst form,
general debility, all female diseases, want
Of vitality, etc.. 1t is a speedy and positive
cure and brings relief where all other rem
edies fail ASK your druggist for it.
