From the N.Y. Herald corresp. of to-day.
Conkling Accepts the Nomination for Chief Justice.
All of the rumors are now dispelled by the fixed fact that the President has tendered the appointment to Roscoe Conkling, and he has agreed to accept it. Aside from the personal good feeling of the President to Conkling he has been worried and annoyed beyond measure at the manner in which his nominations of Williams and Cushing have been treated by the Senate. Conkling has gone to New York, and it is generally believed that he has done so for the purpose of making arrangements as to the selection of his successor in the Senate. With the large party majority in the Senate there can be no doubt of his confirmation as Chief Justice.
