There has been great difficulty in adjust

letter from Washington sheds considerable
light on the cause Of the trouble 1tsays:
Browning is the Jonah Of the Supreme

Epectiyc circuits. Indiana raised a devil Of d
TOW when it was proposed to put that State
Fith Illinois, and finally succeeded in kicking
us of Then Iowa war1ed. against Us SO loudly
on his account that the House took pity on
her and chopped her eG. Now Michigan is
raising the yell. Howard and Chandler are
fighting the bill with Ill their energies solely
because Browning is Likely to be appointed
the Judge They will not submit to be roped
in that way. Probably the bill will pass in its
present shape-nlinois. Wisconsin and Mich

that no other Northwestern State is willing to
be in the same circuit with us- Can it bt
possible that the president will insist on ap
pointing that doughtsce? He is no botte
