Uncle Sam the old fool has wooed and won
the black-eyed damsel, and must settle those
little bills. True, it ant convenept-that process
seldom is-but it can't be helped. Texas, on her
part has set up most preposterous claim to some

were being too elaborate and too strong. 1t was
firing forty-eight FOUNDER to kill ly-no, firing

ugly question, the amount of the indemnity to

Col. BENTON Withdrew his motion to postpone
the bill indefinitely, seeing it would certainly be

the bill as it is and can't be suited without aliena
