Talalerro Page - door keeper of the reconstructed
Senate Of the State Of Alabama some time since

pair of Shoes This brought Mr.. Page into unpleas
relations with justice, but the justice being
stfueted justice and Mr. P. in the Of its perqui-
sitions consuming all Of oaths like pie the up
shot was that hewent unwhiPped back to his post in
the Senate chamber and there, by the piehald body
infcstng that apartment, voted vote of confi-

shoes creaked in joyful break down at the reception
of this yrtuous testimonial does not appear; but
thereafter it seems that Mr.. Page was yet second
time brought into relations with JUSTICE and this time
reconstructed justice-the Judge benga scaawag
of the pure blood, and the jury five negroes to seven
whites-found him guilty Of perjury, and theFeupon
decreed him, on the 25th of the month last past,

gentleman on a foreign mission True, the name of
this same Mr. Page is now before the department

bama, but why trammel so eminent genius with the
of mail bags of leather He has already had trans
actions in that MATERIAL and they have turned out
as pleasantly for him they might. Give him mis-
sion, Mr. Grant He is fit fellow to your Siekles in
SPAIN New York World.
