The Consular and Diplomatic Bill

representation abroad into a degree of
consistency.
Tile Comtof Claims BiU.-Tt estab.

The Ship Passengers Bill supplies
additional securities to the health and
comfort of the emigrants who crowd to
onr shores and the Ship@rech Bill
furnishes new and valuable facili-
tics for rescue in case of shipwreck.
The Bill for the construction of a

Typographical error occurred in the ad'

Such mistakes of the printer will often
occur, escaping the eye of the most care

very provoking: they are usually quito
harmless, being readily understood by an

Ina MAY" At THE STATE IIousE.-
Ida May, or Mary Mildred Bolts. the
little girl who was lately rescued from
slavery in Virginia. visited the State
House on Saturday, with Mr.. Charles
IL Brainard. Her presence excited
much interest. She isa bright, good
looking girl. Tho editor Of the New
York Times says; She is one Of the
fairest and most indisputable white
children that we have ever seen" Prom
ncut individuals who saw her, expressed
their astonishment that she should ever
have been held slave. The little girls
name is Mary Mildred Bolts. though
she has been christcncd Ida May" and
will probably be known by that name in

The ScoTT LETTER.-William s.
Damrell, representative elected from
the th;ra district, who is stumping it
in New Hampshire, has written a let
ter to the editors of the Kecnc Senti-
mel. in which he declares his belief that
Gen. SCOTS late letter is forgery.
Mr.. Damrell gives, as the foundation
of the statement which he has made
respecting the trade for the Catholic
vote at tho presidential election, that
he heard a speaker in a New York
meeting say that "Bishop Hughes had
proposed to sell the Catholic vote to
the Scott party, or those having the
General in charge that he was press
ent when the matter was talked over
by his (the General's) friends, and
that he was ready to furnish proof Of
the trade by the Pierce party if it
should ever be desired"

PITIFUL.-Governor Matteson of H.
linois, who was himself the Democratic
candidate for the Senate, refuses to
give Judge Trumbull his certificate of
election, on the ground that having
been judge of the Supreme Court Of
that State be is not eligible during the
term for which he was appointed. lie
had previously resigned his seat on the
bench, and was not, in fact, a Judge at
the time he was chosen. This is small
business, and will avail nothing to tho
Nebraskals, who hold on to their pow
or with dcatnlike tenacity. We have
yet to lcaru that the arbitrary giving or
Withholding Of certificate of election
can determine the question of an cleo
ton. The people, through their legis.
lature. elect their Senator, and all that
the Governor can do is to certify to
this fact. lie clearly transcends his
powers in attempting to do more. Tho
Senate will undoubtedly admit MIR.
Trumbul to the seat to which he ha,
been chosen, without the Executive
certificate, as no one questions that no
has been chosen.-Boston -Itlds.
