A Congressman facilities for saving
n salary are well illustrated by few
real estate transactions of Senator

ment of SO 900 in the Uftonist, he has
purchased block of lots from Couch

what is known rs tho Holmes Block .
forS13,0 900.
The Senator is extremely anxious
about his successor in the Senate, and
more anxious still, If possible, is Mrs.
". Williams regards Corbett with
aversion. He believes that Corbett will
secretly exert his influence to defeat
himself (Williams), for the reason that
the reelection of the latter will lessen
Corbetts' chances III the election fol-
lowing. 1t is well known that Will
liams has set Corbett down pretty hard

that G. was without tho capacity to

unsparing in his means to re-clect

to make him that mans enemy. Pre-.

SALEM. Oct. 12. 1869.

I conclude that people come to the
State Fair principally to run booth
or a show, or to engage in the hack
business. If there are persons here
for any other purpose, they are very
quiet about it. The boat brought
about two hundred passengers last
night for the Fair. The exhibition is
not fairly opened yet, and there can
be but littleidea formed at this time of
what it will be. If any individual has
been led to believe, after reading the
Salem and Portland papers, that the
Society has expended much money
in permanent and useful improvements
let me disabuse their minds of such an
impression. There are no additional
public improvements; and, what is
more, the necessary repairs have not
been made. The Judges stand at the
track is in the last stage of decay

sort of public investigation of the
charges so directly and considerably

these publications are not responsible
