A choice bit of Browning's letter, to
the effect that in the convention of Satur-
day the President promised Grant that he
would pay whatever fine might be I'M
posed, submit to whatever imprisonment
might be adjudged, for violation, by Grant,
of the law, embodies the essence OF The
whole case. johnson wanted to violate
the law, and Grant would not. One
would think from Johnson's version OF
the matter that the conference had been
that Of captain of blacklegs with his
lieutenant, and that the former found out
his mistake as to the character OF the latter
one day too late for his purposes Chicago

SnoTs.-We notice that the State Registe,
and Davenport Ga-ette seems TO be taking a
tumble ON State printing, &c. The Gazette
seems 10 stand in defense of the country
press, while the Ryister wades into them
lively on the asserted course Of that journal on
the publication Of ! The State law question:
One thing We think true at least, that the
Register is given more patronage by the State
than it deserves, while the country press. is
given but starving State patronage. We
can see no good reason why one paper in the
State should receive all the State Treasury
drafts drawn. The idea ofgiving to that one
institution in circulation alone over fourteen
thousand dollars in about nine months to the
almost exclusion of all the country press, is
simply, ono Of abominablc contempt for the
interests of the State at large. We are aware,
however, that in great measure, it lies with
in the power of each Representative and
Senator. So far as we are co ncerncd, we
have no reason to complain, because VIC have
been favorably borne In mind by our members.
At the same time it is certainly clear where
each member Of the Assembly is entitled to
about forty or more Dailies per day, or their
equivalent in Weeklics, that heavy support
can be thrown to the country press. But the
members ore doubtless button holed by the
satellites Of the State Capital Press 80 thor
oughly that thoy often order largely without
thinking muchof home Interests. a~
