Cured in the Republican wing of the Capltoi

has come grab 10 the amount Of about $780,
1000 upon the Clerks department Of the House,
as some say; while another rumor says upon
Mail Contractors, whose certificates he obtained
possession OF, as their agent and whose money
he has collected and ran off with, in company
with fancy woman. You know him as Tor
