The Nation and the Irishman mention an inci-
dent of which we may possibly by-and-by hear so
thing more. It is alleged that a few days ago two gentle'
men belonging to the Conserv:.tive party, waited on Mr'
Sullivan, one of the Irish press prisoners, and intimated tat,
him that if he gave a guarantee that the tone of his papa
—the Nation —would be " moderated"' the Goverutne"
" there was no doubt," would be prepared to giYa!
favourable consideration to the application for his relefT•
Mr. Pigott, 01 the Irishman, was, it is stated, included
is
this proffered amnesty, the condition in each case being
the same. The Nation tells us that Mr. Sullivan "
nantly rejected the proposal," and adds that "threats wet"
used" (this is given in capitals), upon which the prisoner
"scornfully defied the Government to do their worst." It
is admitted that Mr. Sullivan's visitors declared that 0(1
were not authorised by the Government to make the Pri);
posal ; but the Nation regards this as a mere quibble, old
assumes that neither of the two gentlemen " ever Nu
have suggested what they did if they were not perfectly
assured that they had the sanction of the Castle."
The largest income returned in Chicago for Lott
year is $202,306, by C. H. M'Cormick. The next large9e
is his brother's, J. L. M'Cormick, $lOO,OOO. There aoro,
nine others exceeding $50,000, sixty exceeding $25,°
ninety-seven exceeding $20,000, and 486 exotteditio
$lO,OOO.
The Springfield Republican says The RePtibb;
lican papers of Connecticut are actively discussing to
Senatorial succession to James Dixon, and the Ate'ricio
Recorder presents the name of 0. H. Platt of that citio
a candidate, in addition to. Governors
Hawley. The election will be hold on the 19th of :o'o
and will be the first under the new law, which regal

viva voce voting." '
The only mistake that the American journalist 14
have made is in their spelling of Sir Henry de Ilog
name. They added a "u," which it appears has no r tbo
there. Sir Henry acknowledges his investment heir
Confederate Loan, maintains that many who wrote t 00,
denials to the papers were not quite clear about the tr 6
be
action, and that he did not desert what he held to
just cause because it was the losing one. The Autlicaaa
papers, therefore, were more correct than the Pall
Gazette.
