it, and if the Commissioner does not attempt
any farther assumption of independent
power he will not be very likely TO demand
| Plessanton's immediate resignation; at any
rate the President and Secretary Boutwell,
left town in the evening, Que for Long
Branch, the other for 10 days visit to his
home in Massachusetts.
