Lo6pp. The Message caused great excitement,
for Il wa. confidently expected that Gard

Anti-Slavery, the Know Nothing party in Massachu-

leave of absence TO attend the Anniversaries in your
City. The House elected yesterday, as Speaker pro
t,n Charles w Slack of Boston, of the editors of
The Telegraph newspaper. He is under thirty, and
is the youngest Speaker we have yet had think.
The singularty of his election is that he an oui-and
out Free-Soier though for time he belonged to the
Know Nothing Order While the election OF United
States Senator was pending he instructed BY his
Lodge or Council to vote against Wilson He politely
told the Lodge to mind its own business and quilted
the Order in dsdain. He has since been engaged in
organizing the Know Something movement, of which
be Is probably the head in this State. 1t is considered
very remark able that House composed with only
three exceptions Of Know-Nothings should elect
boer and the chief Of rival organization to the post
of Speaker. The explanation is thought to be that
majority of the House are know-Somethings. IL may
be- however, that Mr.. Slack may have Geen chosen
because he is well qualified for the post He very
smart" is personally exceedingly popular, and is ad-
mitted on all sides by foes and friends, 10 be per-
fectly honest and honorable man. OLIVER
