into general roar of laughter when Mr..
Schenck, of Ohio, introduced series of res

Guiding one of which was, that the causes of
the rebellion should be put down. The Re-
publicans voted for it, on the yaas and nays
because slavery, in their eyes, is the cause of
the rebellion; the Democrats all, voted for it
because in their eyes, Abolitionism was the
cause of the rebellion. The unanimous vote,

Washington, March 5, 1S64.-My Dear Sir
In reply to friendly letter from you, wrote
you briefly not long ago about the wishes ex-
pressed by many of my friends that my name

their next choice of President, and closed by
saying that should our friends in Ohio mani
fest preference for another, | should ACCEPT
their decision with the ready acquiescence due
from one who has been already trusted and
honored by them beyond merit or expectation.
The recent dction Of the Union members of
our Legislature indicates snch preference.
1t becomes my duty, therefore, and | count IL
more privilege than duty, to ask that no
further consideration be given to my name,
1t was never more important than now that
all our efforts and all our energies should be
devoted to the suppression of the rebellion
and to the restoration OF order and prosperity
on the solid foundation of union, freedom and
impartial justice, and l earnestly urge all with
whom my counses have weight to allow Meth
ing to divide them while this great work lin

parties are nothing) remains unaccomplished.

WooD's HoTRL.-We are pleased to learn
that movement is on foot, to secure the
completion OF Woods Hotel As it is and
has been for five or six years, it is a complete
eye-sore to our business men and all who
have spark OF city pride. When complet-
ed according to the original plan of Mr..
Wood, it will be one of the most convenient
and commodious hotels in New England, if
not in the United States. The business of
the city now demands such hotel, which is a
reason why our capitalists should make in
vestment in aid Of the project to put it in an
available condition. We are not acquainted
with all the facts and circumstances connect
ed with that establishment, neither do we
know precisely what conditions Mr.. Wood
may wish to put into the bond, but his pro-
position, as presented to the Board of Trade, is
a fair and feasible one. He proposes to give
a clean mortgage of the whole establishment
when completed, of $4,000 can be raised to
finish it. The building has already cost $3.50
600, so that persons who loan the money
will get security on what will have cost Mr..
Wood 100000, for the loan of $4,000.
