WHAT rs THoEGEaT OF HInI~
The following is from a Washington
dispatch to the n. 7, Tribune, Of the 30th

1fR BROWNING At HOME
Ecer observers, who have recently returned
from Illinois say tllat the most unpopular man in
that State is Mr. Senator Browning. Republicans
once warmly his friends have been completely
~alicpatcd hy his at this Congress, and de-
clare that Democrat could not 60 mischieTon5ly
1ufs-ep1eecnt them. There Is not the slightest
probability that he will be nominated by any party
N the Legislature which is to ell the eeat to which
le wsg appointed By the Governor.
Avery strong protest against his appointment
to place On the bench Of tho supreme court,
should the bill recognizing it pass, will be pre-
ecpted to the prcs:dcct. Letters received from
1r1;ro1s hy Republican Congressman, confirm these
statements.
What is here stated will find few IN 1ni-
1ois to dispute it. The appointment Of
xh;s man to & seat in the Senate is tue most
unpopular act ever done by Gov. Yates
He was Selected as Republican, but he
hss misrcpresented that pArty most shame
fully. Republicans would infinitely prefer
that Vanandigham Democrat had beer
appointed. They would not then feel dis
graced and chagzined BY his subseryicncJ
to the interests Of the secessionists, because
not responsible TOT his De1laYlor.
Mr.. Browning has devoted his time t
Shielding the rebel ringleaders from pun

slaves, md fishing TOR a seat On the 81
prcmc bench, at the hands Of presiden
whose nomination he strenuousl
opposed, and to whose election h
contributed nothing, such was his an

that he shines, for he is found acting t!

finally he roted against the .0Aoe B

secesh and semi-secesh Senators, Bsya

There is just one favor the Republics
of Illinois would ask at his hands, and t
is, t1at be may cease pretending to b

If those be serves and call himself pes
