in tho position this man occupies. And to those
Who know aI about him, it is greatly heightened by

AZ the PRESENT moment this SHINE "THoMxs T.

the following modest blast blown Ivy himself in the

nomination yus confirmed and that the government

ministers to the same place and tor the same time.
The mistake In this respect may b, somewhat pardon
abe in those who frm their anticipaons of the con
duct OF tire PRESENT administration from the usats
oil the last. AS minister to Colombia, shall receive
salary until actually enter on the public service,
