E. Carey, an attache of the banking house OF
Archibald King in William street, was in the
office OF the Sub-Treasury Wall street, for the
purpose of receiving $4,000 in coupon bonds
OF the issue of 1868, one of the Treasury clerks
| passed out the bonds, and while they were ly-

| nesty and universal suffrage, and nominate
| Salmon P Chase The Main3 men, who are
| down at the Astor House, some of the YER
| monters at the Everett House, and a few Bos-
| tonians talk about organizing victory under
the Chief Justice, but they find no indorsers,
| and the Pendleton bows scout and Sneer al the
| idea. They say that Ohio wants no ex-Presi-
| dent OF an underground railroad for candi-
| date, aud that, although the impeachment
| record may be white, the antecedents of the
| Chief Justice are all of an Ethiopian hue and
| won't suit.
