should not render II unavailable.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Is, 1915.
The letters of Fouche are playing the mischief
here-the Office beggars dare hardly speak loud any
more, but whisper in knots for fear some whisper
will glide INTO your humble servants ears and
through them into the columns of the Herald. The
plain tales that told don't suit hem any more than
the doctrine OF Luther suits sinners ears. though

Col Sheiburne is here, who is bringing out a
work, entitled THE Suppressed Administration of
John Adams" He was the ardent friend of letter
son, who wrote him the last letter ever penned by
that distinguished patriot and statesman. He served
with honor IN the last war, and was the agent of
The United States to treat with the Semncles, at
the tune their brave, Osceola, so wantonlv be-

"Old Builion;" yet he looks rather discounted to

OF years, and by boxing AT the vote that elected
him for this term you will see that he begins to be
a little passe or unpopular, among the masses at
home; and walts--and longs for-somethlng-he
don't care what--to ride into the Presidency upon.
He feels that ne is growing old-and much of his

agents, special agents, and secret agents OF John
Tyler will be matter that the present Secretary of
state means to investigate II he can find out where
they have gone to--some have never been heard Of
others skip from place another, to avoid their
removal. Yet the Secretary has his eyes on them,
and will bestow careful attention upon Them and see
that all slnecures are at once abolished The men
who have appointments during Mr.. Folks admns-
