Mr. Arthur is too prudent a man to fall into the error of appointing person al favorites to office without regard to their titness. The nominations lie has made have been of men well fited to the places for which they were designated, and had they been made in good faith they would not have challenged criti cism. But Mr. Arthur did not nomi nate Mr. Conkling to the Supreme Court because be wished to fill the va cancy worthily and thought him the best man for the position, but because lie wishtd to compliment and serve his political chief. It would have been ▼ery easy for him to ascertain whether Mr. Conkling would accept this ap pointment. Indeed, it was his duty to do so, and either he was very | careless of official diguity or else he deliberate ly designed to use the most important appointment theu within his gift to further the personal ends of a disap pointed politician. Under the circum stances Mr. Conkling's appointment was an affront to the country and an insult to the United States Senate that would have been resented were that body capable of maintaining its own dignity. It is not the first time that the Presi dent committed this offense. lie did pecisely the same thing in the case of Ex-Governor Morgan. He either knew or could have known that Morgan would not become Secretary of the Treasury, and his nomination could have no other purpose than to pay off ids own obligations and gratify bis friend. For the nomination of Conk ling there is even less excuse. If resident did not fcnpw be could bare learned in fifteen minutes that Conk- j ling did not want the place. What he j did want was the compliment of the nomination: the public distinction it would give him and the triumph of a confirmation by the Senate, where his former piestige has-been overclouded. This accomplished, but not till then, Conkling declines the appointment, lie has gained something—the gratifica tion of ins vanity at least—and lost nothing; the President lias, gained nothing, but lias lost a great deal. It was hoped that the scandal of em ploying the Presidential office for the distribution of personal reward and complitneuts had ended. Mr. Arthur seems disused to revive it in a new and most objectionable form, and if his own self-respect do not forbid a repeti tion of the disgraceful trifling shown in the Conkling case, the self-respect of the Senate should compel it to teach the President the lesson that he need. The Government of the United states should be better employed than in com plimenting clouded friends and giving certificates of character to defeated Stalwarts. Lycoming County Solid for Hero Beaver. WILLI AMSPOIIT, March B.—The Re publican county committee met in this city this afternoon and elected dele gat. • tot he S ate Co ivention pledged to vote for General James A. Beaver for Governor.

CONKLING DECLINES. % WASHINGTON, March 6.—The Presi dent has received from Ex-Senator Conkling his declination of the associ ate justiceship of the United States Su preme Court, to which position its was recently nominated and confirmed. WAITING FOR DEATH. The Situation orthe People In Southern ' Arkansas. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., March 9.— M. C. Harris, who was sent down to Desha county by Governor Churchville to aid in distributing government supplies to persons rendered destitute by the over flow, returnde yesterday. In an inter view with a reporter he said that along the river front to Desha cotiDty, 100 miles in length, the destitution is be yond description. The water has reach ed an unprecedent height. Scarcely a farui house or residence on the bottom has escaped the inuudation. The peo ple have been compelled to build false floors in their houses, or to seek safety ou higher lands, wbeie, in rudely con structed camps of brush, boughs and cane, they sit and wait for starvation and death. It is appalling, and with out government aid, litierally and quick ly bestowed, there is no telling where it will end. Many persons have been feed ing on the carcasses of drowned cattle. Persoual investigation, as well as the assurances of respectable gentlemen, convinces Mr. Harris that not less than six hundred families, averaging six persons to each, in Desha county alone, are dependent upon the charity of tli e government. He believed it to be no exaggeration to place tin gross number, old and young, at 3,500. The judications point to a long continuance of the overflow, the most sanguine hardly daring to hope for its subsidence before May. ADDITIONAL GOVERNMENT AID. WASHINGTON, March 9.— The house committee on appropriations considered this morning the priposition to vote additional relief to the sufferers by the floods on the Mississippi river. Gener al Floyd King, ot Louisaina, and sev eral other gentlemeu from the flooded districts, addressed the committee and described the suffering existing in con sequence of the overflow of the river. A Gloomy and Graphic Picture LITTLE HOCK, Ark., March 9.— The citv is thronged with refugees from the overflowed districts. Governor Church yille said lie received this morning a number of letters from prominent men in the overflowed districts who draw a gloomy and graphic picture of the death and suffering around them. Ashley county reports one thousand persons on the verge of starvation, and Chidot and Desha counties have as many, if not more. There are thousands also in other counties in destitute circum stances. Relief boards are busy distri buting rations at all available points. The work is going on as* rapidly as could be expected, but the trouble is that there are so many needy that it will be almost impossible to supply their wants in time to prevent suffer ing, if not actual starvation. Trouble Over a Wo man's Fun eral. Special Dispatch to the Times. ERIE, March B.—A highly sensation al scene occurred at Linesville over the corpse of Mrs. Maueely, a higly respect ed ladv of the Spiritualist faith. The trustees of the Methodist Church offer ed the edifice for her obsequies, and Moses llull, a spiritual exhorter, ar rived from Buffalo to deliver the ora tion. Just before the hour set for the ceremony the Methodist pastor return ed home and learning the use to which his church was to be put, refused to let the service go on. The trustees de clared it should; the pastor threatened to resign and gamed his point. The corpse was then conveyed to au infidel hall, followed by an imense crowd of church people and fiiends bent on at tending the funeral. ANNUAL STATEMENT FOK MILLIIEIM nOHOI\;H. JAMES 0. SMITH.
