Proposals have been received here from the

on the new Three Cent notes. Among other
reasons, he urges tnat he has not only been in
favor of q vigorous prosecution OF the war, but
is yet in favor of one; is in favor OF the fIac-
tional currency, and doesn't think that he, for
one, could have too much of it, and offers, If his
portrait is adopted instead Of Mrs. Swisshelm's,
or any of the clerks in the Treasury Department,
that he will urge the price of cents for the
chief articles of every day use, such Car fare,
Lager, and Italian Opera tickets. All of the

Court; but whether decided good, or decided
bad case, it did not state. Next Sunday week

breathe the fresh air, and be there in time for
the fight? Besides them as don't approve Of dog
fights could go to church, whereas, now, they
can't go, unless they walk, if they are poor, as
am. All of our chaps are in favor of the cars,
because wheD we goes to church we wants to

pleasure of explaining his policy to, they we're

dicted that some of the more prominent of this
delegation would make their mark in the event
OF visit to the White House, which was
true, for it was discovered after they left, that
some of the yellow satin chairs in the East
Room were pretty badly marked with compo-
stion of ironrust and oil, proving that the
chairs were satin to their detriment.

COLONEL MooRHEAD PRESENTING THE DELEGA-
TIoN TO THE PRESIDENT.
Captain Ward, of Detroit, President OF the Iron
and Steel Association, formally presented the
delegation to the President; but as he was not
in want of any delegation just now, having a
large stock on hand and more promised, he told
them to be seated.
sALLYs OF WIT.
Mr.. Ward (the Iron President) :-''We have
come to tender you our respects" The Presi-
dent mere interrupted by asking where they
had left the Tender if they had unhitched it
from the Locomotive? The Iron man replied
that they we're not railroad men. President
johnson said "What are you ?n Mr.. Ward an
swered, II sell Iron and Steel for a living.'
"0h, replied the President, "most of the dele
cations that come here to praise me do that;
if they don't sell iron they sell something
else, and invariably steal for a living" Mr.
Ward made the remark that he thought the
President was indulging in irony. 'Yes," said
the President, "hat irony" After few more
remarks in this lively and interesting vein, in
