hand man Of Douglas, from port he held

his Illinois appointments in opposition TO the
wishes of the Senator, replies 10 the above
in the following decidedly rich and very
brief epistle:
WASHINGTON, Sept. I, 1857.
Ny Dear Sir: have received your letter of the
4th inst, by which you seem TO apprehend that
shoul appoint Mr.. Cuts I'd Comptroller, this
appointment might be charged TO Illinois. You
need entertain no apprehension on the subject
Should make the appointment, which is not i'm
probable, it will be my own individual appoint
ment. proceeding entirely from my regard for Mr.
Cults and his family, and not because Senator
Douglas has had the good fortune to become his
son-iu-law.
From your friend, very respectfully,
JAMES BUCHANAN.

No more government stock will be re.
deemed, except perhaps some little which
may be surrendered 10 morrow. Five
thousand dollars only were redeemed TO-
day. The Secretary of the Treasury has
been forced to stop redeeming the public
debt, as the law requires tibet the amount

mint purposes, shall not be reduced below
six millions. Secretary Cobb will issue Of

deemed all the United States stock which he
is authorized by law TO redeem in advance.
no further stock will be purchased at the
