business thrown in his way by the connection.
Gen. Hugh Ewing, his brother, is minister to the
Hague. Bis fitness for the position is demon
strated by his chronic condition Of intenlperance
Charles Ewing, another brother, has acommission
in the army. Hampton B. Dewman, d brother-in-

himself is reported to be member Of the firm of
jay Cooke Co. The Importance, therefore. of
being Chairman Of the Senate Finance Committee

opposed to impeachment, much prefcrrine to have
Andrew johnson remain where he is until tha
