, Mark Twain writes the Chicago
Republican as follows:
WASHINGTON, February 2j.-Thc
ball is in motion. The Philadelphians
send encouraging dispatches to the
President. Chicago mass meetings
tell Illinois Representatives to inn
} peach. New York city threatens blood
and slaughter in behalf of the Presi-
dent. Gov. Geary promises another
uprising for Congress. And last, Mr..
Gideon Welles is standing by" with
his redoubtable four hundred marines
to rush to the Chief Magistrates pro-
lection. 1t is time to tremblc when
Gideon's band is hitching up its trous-
ers, shifting its quids to starboard and
preparing to repel boardcrs! But Con-
gress is in earnest, and may be the old
salts will see service shortly. Gen.
Logan says that if Congress quails this
time, he wants an appropriation made
to iron-plate the the members so that
the nation can kick them from the
Capitol to the White House without its
wearing them out ! Sound the tocsn I!
| don't know what tocsin is, but |
want it sounded all the same.
Gideon is not to be alone. Telc-
grams offering support and encourage
mcnt to the President are still arriv-
ing constantly. Ny position as Private
Secretary I'D interim to the Chief
Magistrate gives me peculiar facilities
for early learning their contents

Amboy Railroad Company, doubtless.
They own the Second District of New

more, in any event. This is cheering.

Bear-steak, masticated messenger,
and Democratic resolutions ought to
make a fair enough feast in these
hungry times. Proceedings generally
contain "proyisions," but this time the
provisions contain the proceedings.
The case is peculiar. L
