pointments for pOstmasters, applicants for which
lie could count by the thousand. Baron GerOd
was also there and pleased. He drank the wine, and
partook of the general good feeling. He sadhe could
understand why our Government refused TO Md
Mexico with her rich mines and could afford TO give
not Russia 100000 for that desolate country. The
Senate FoIeign Relations Cowmittee had the treaty
mder consideration to-day, but only for the purpose
of getting On UNDERSTANDING Of tie matter. II is
