Among the Probabilities A Port land friend dropped Into the office of the Morning Astorlan yesterday, and in the course of frlendy chat on current topics, alluded to the recent departure of the Hon. Harrison Al len, fro mthls city, and intimated, among other things, that it was a well guessed secret in the metropolis, that that bright and capable lawyer did not move there entirely for his health, which is abundantly good, but that he was a strong possibility In the succession of the federal district attorney-ship in the event that Mr. Bristol's appointment to the post should lack essential confirmation. This will be news of a happy sort to the myriad friends of Mr. Allen here, and there, too, for that matter, and all ears will be distended perceptibly for the grateful intelligence to come.
