Sept 1907, and to-day at the ripe
age Of - is hale and hearty, in the
full possession Of his memory and intellect
lie voted for Washington. and for Abra-
ham Lincoln, and every occupant Of the pre-
sidential chair, save Pierce ard Buchanan,
receIyed his vote.
Mrs. Grace Davis, town pauper Of Viii
tinghsm, now living with her son in Hall
fax, was one hundred and one yesIs old the
oh day Of Jan. inst.
The Oldest vet, however. and if his story

country. Is Peter Nassau, colored pauper
of the town of Pomfrct, whose age is report
ed at $50 years. The Times saws OF him

WASHINGTON Jan. %


Business men throughout the country are
pressing upon members Of Congress the great
importance of an carly settlement of fnan-
cial policy of the nation for the coming year.
Congress has great confidence in the ability
and honesty of the Secretary of the Treasu-

concentrations though not perhaps his en-
tire scheme.
The receipts for six months of internal
revenue considerably exceed one half the
amount estimated by the comm issioner for
the entire year ending June 80. 1866, which
was three hundred and sixty millions.
President Johnson's views upon certain
important subjects have been made known
by Senator who talked with him last week
This morning the Chronicle gives them as
alleged views of the President received
through the agent of the Associated Press,
