Chairman County Central Commute

representative in the U. S. Senate for this
State, requested US to mention him in our
columns. 1t had not occurred to us that he
was entitled to an earlier notice in our paper,
but as he has made special request of us to
do so, we condescend to give him the benefit
of the following dialogue between himself
and our devil:

can fill a seat in the U. S. Senate, that he
will aspire to that important position at the
expiration of Mr. Saulsbury's terIn.
