he would scorn the position, as he believed
not patronized byth Bankers and bondholders,
who were always arrryed against him. He would
support any competent man, and the man was
dishonest, who refused to support the nominee.
Col Suite did not think the resolution was
fitted to this latitude. There was no railroad
law 10 Oregon, and every railroad was taxed ad

proportion than in ,Fauquier The State tax
was as low as in any other State, but the Cor

wanted to 60 from here to Washington to es-
cape taxation were jumping out of the frying

gatherings in Vienna Ii is undoubtedly
true that Beethoven was rather brusque. and
carefully avoided forming any new aoquaint-

and agreeable manners produced very IA
vorabe impression on him After the two
had met accidentally several times. Dan

At last. the day 50 impliirntly expected
arrived the day on which Beethoven had
promised to 20 10 Danhau-ers. The great
composer kept his word. and was most
warmly welcomed After short conycrsa-
ton, Danhau5er prepared for work. Bee
