Collector Schell is here for two fold purpose:
First to look after his nomination, which appears 10
be in desperate situation second to clear n nself Of
impuatons relative to the Wletts Point sale. There
is great danger that his will not be sent to the
senate. The Administration is disposed to hold him
responsible for the course of Clark and Haskin on Le
compton =,
There are also that he is implicated in the
Niett Point affair." and that Richard Schel pocketed
large bonus On the sale. Simeon Draper and Thos.
McEIrath were examined by the Committee to-day on
this matter. II looks squaily for Schell all around
and the Committees report is likely to afford exciting

against Senator Douglas We shall not
express, in merited language, ,the sentiments
we feel for one, who, after six months open
and boasted alliance with the foe, can de-
mean himself so far as to complain of any
imputed alliance on the part of others. Ii
such an alliance be crime, what must be the
blackness OF the Senator's criminality for last
winter 6 career? If the liaison bc degrade

sink himself in the amours Of the long session
II 1t were true that the national Democracy
OF Illinois are in alliance with the glorious
Republicans, Old Line Wings, and Know
Nothings Of that State, tho Senator should be
the last man in the world to complain of it.
If it were true, it would only show that an

the crimes Of last winter"
