The matter of that " commission is not set
led Mr. Secretary Walker has made his state
ment, and Mr.. Governor Brown, of Miss, has tried
so far to explain as to clear Mr.. Walker, and excul
pate himself from the laundering manner in which
h. drew up his instructions to MIR. Walker. At all

those State bonds that are due to the Dutch, and
iisapploves of the doctrine of reputation. OF
course his chance is good for nothing Among
themselves, they have got the party in Mississippi,
mo beautiful state of glorious confusion, only
surpassed by the harmonious amalgamation OF the
numjxable elements here in Washington.
