the Senate. Allow the Secretary discretion 10
make his bargain where he pleases-and, of course,
he will select Father Richie TO do the work. Or
course, that is the understanding. II Is worth the
head OF the Secretary to do otherwise
Hon. Truman Smith, however, smelt the rat
He did not like il. There was no telling who was

for the benefit of Mr. Richie. Two motions to
lay the subject on the table were defeated, when
Mr. Pearce, a. whose instance the joint resolution
was laid over, presented the case as follows;-

il belonged to the new contractor; and the Senate
must abide by the law. He cited the printing OF
the pamphlet of the decisions of the Supreme Court,
at former extra session, Us0 pages and 200
copies) for which Father Richie charged S37 900,
but finally compromised at $l2, 800; and did it un-

be held to the contract Even under it. he will

Now, this was bringing the matter into bad
shape for Father Richie. HIS friends saw it, and
they saw il was all day with him; and so, upon
another motion they caved in, and the subject was
laid upon the table. And so ends the last desperate
attempt to help out Father Richie and the Union
newspaper, SO as TO keep their heads above water

proposition OF Mr.. Foote and Mr. Borland prevailed

nearly nine long months he has to wait. He has
borrowed $4,000 already. and spent It. Truly,
this is hard case. Well may the old man sing,

The correspondence of Mr.. Webster, in reference
10 the Hungarian exiles in Turkey, will still fur
her advance the splendid reputation of our Secre-
tary Of State, as a steadfast republican American
diplomatist. We doubt not this correspondence
will be read with great interest by the courts OF
Austria and Russia
Gen. Foote deserves much credit for the interest
he has taken in kossuth, and his companions in
exile. He has promptly acted fully up TO the sag
gesons OF Mr. Webster. Hence we are indebted
TO Gen. Fcote for the resolution authorizing ship
to be detailed from our Mediterranean squadron to
bring over the said exiles to the United States.
The only pity is that Gen. Foote was not half so
lucky in his attempts to relieve Father Richie.
