with great strength Of argument. He con-
sidered 1t as the introduction OF hereditary

Chauvelin, who was Ambassador to this
country before the war, opposed il with
equal warmth5 and condemned it as In the

them as having attacked the. Government.

Indeed after The disposition which Mr.
Ross manifested, On many occasions, o.
hostility to the constitution OF the United
States, in his memorable rR 70 the md
propositions, he appears very awlIwardly
as complainant OF anniraadyersions on
iaets whieh demanded scrutiny. After
the fcence which he allowed himself in
the contest with governor M'Kean-and
after his application to Mr.. Wolcott to
attain sum of $4,000 dollars of CHARGES
objected to in the accounts Of pbIic con
tractor, he ought not 10 be very slueamish
about the scspicions entertained of him.
Aud he must have q very bad opinion
OF the understanding Of those who have
heard him SO often take the utmost license
with the characters and yisws of others
if be could expect to escape suspicion Of
his conduct and his views.
The editor is wiling, and was deter
mined to do it before MIR. Ross letter, TO
state, that though the employment of mo-
ney in the way stated is Illegal and dan
gerous precedent, that as far as the editor
has evidence, there is reason to believe
that the application of the sum to the pur-
pose mentioned in 1896, was prudent
though it was one of the many evils which
sprung from the British treaty.

IN the summer Of 1899, the account

sired that should send vouchers TO close
the account. When congress assembled
N the December following, gave his let
