Ecans works hard for his hungry partisans, and de-
serves their thanks. One would think that some

beginning with the Northern State! In the List
set forth by the Argus there ire Collectors

This is new evidence Of the 4yors that will be showcred

of him. "Coonel Todd 10 be Envoy Extraordinary 10

TO have emanaed directly from the President, who
