WHO'S President I'VE passed through great deal
OF wouiment OF mind last summer in trying TO make
President Of Gen. Scott We have strong suspicion
that did not succeed but the question has yet
been authodatvey decided We rejoice that we are at
last to know Since the eegraphc reports that flew like
hal-sones about head, the night OF the al OF
November have known but little the subject, for
we never though, il worth while TO wade through the
returns that came subsequently drifting through the
newspapers. Indeed, have studously avoided the
topic and when anything has been said in hearing
about il, have invariably counseed patience for the
official count suggesting that remark nopportune
and comment superhuous. We have thought IT wise TO
defer the whole matter TO more convenient season,
when at last the real truth would have to out
through the regular official channels And have felt
tina, that time would come full soon enough. All doubts
upon the subject about to be entirely removed
The votes to be counted and declared on Wednesday
next We shall then know who is elected President TO
very dead certainty. Wereioce that our suspense will
be so soon terminated. When the hangman's rope is
round mans neck he don't care how quick the drop
falls
r. s. We have a few campaign lives OF Scott yet on
hand, which we will dispose of to any one wishing to
purchase, cost Who heads the column of purchasers

BONDED WAREHoUsEs.--Mr. Hunter, il will be seen,
has introduced into the Senate a bill regulating
houses Ii is excellent BILL and we hope Congress
will pass il into law without delay. 1t extends the
time for which goods may remain in bond to three years
This OF itself must vastly extend and increase nav
eating interests. IL is however, the most Objectionable
feature in the bill. The time should be indefinite, at
least not less than five years Merchants do not allow
their goods 10 lie in bond twevemonh or MORE merely
for the sake OF credit the duties They understand
their interests well for that They will take them out
the moment they find market for them. They desire
that merchants of other countries shall seek for their sup
plies here, which, if establish perfect bonding sys-
them, will be the case for then assorted cargoes
here be made up for any part of the world.
Another excellent feature is the canceng OF bonds
for duties when goods destroyed by fire while in
bond This is obviously just, that comments are
requisite.
Another excellent clause the doing away, eventually,
with the cumbersome and expensive government ware.
houses BY examining Treasury documents, it will be
found that tho system conducted entails
nua charge upon the country of not less than two hun

Quoted and continued in this BILL does cost the gov
