It's said, however, that he will recon.
mend the passage of bill for the impor,a.
ton Of foreign ships free of duty. against
which the ship builders protest has been
issued, they claiming il ever the necessity
for such q law existed, it has now passed
away. Also, such 4 law would ruin the

NOVEL sUGaEs1loS,
The Catholic clement Of our city, during
the last week, have had quite a sensation in
the Archbishop Of Balt-
more on his return from Rome. The pro.
cession was very large and attracted much
from the two features most prom.
incnt, viz: the large turn out Of benevolent
Societies and the large mixture Of colorcd
people in the ranks. One Of our city papers
draws the conclusion from these facts that
sooner or later the colorcd people will be-
come Catholics in religion and Democratic
in politics. Perhaps so-lf SO, why 20 iss
query for politicians to solve, not US.
