There is considerable interest manifested among
the business men OF the city In relation 70 holding
an International Industrial Exposition in this city
10 1871, and 10 effect this object committee OF M.
teen composed Of the leading men OF this district
has been appointed, TO take into consideration the
subactt and present . feasible manner OF earIyins
forward the project. IL Is thought that to accom-.

There has been for some time past trouble at the

effect upon the LIST OF Oct by the best Information
can obtain Il was his original intention TO resign
10 take effect the LIST Of January, but owing to tho

your State expecting daily 10 see the appointment
Of some one 10 Oil tho vacant Senatorship, but rs
yet have failed 10 that any action has been Ia

think no one could be appointed who would give
more general satisfaction certainly Mr.. Morrill's
record and his services have been such rs to merit
the esteem and confidence OF tho Republican Party.
Ills position during impeachment will be remem,
bered and his presence again In the Senate would
undoubtedly be extremely gratifying to his former
associates. fRESrhs'
