TRUMBULL FURLoUGHED. General Oglesby, OF
| Illinois, has been unanimously nominated by
the Republican caucus of the Legislature of that
State for the United States Senate This termi-
mates the service of Hon. Lyman Trumbull as
United States Senator from that State Mr.
Trumbull, it will be remembered, turned against
the Republican party and his past record and
gave his hand and heart 10 the mad-cap scan.
dals that nominated and run Horace Greeley as
the opposition candidate to Gen. GRAFT for Presi-
dent. The State of Illinois was expected by Mr..
Trumbull, TO be carried b. himself in order that
vember election left him and his cohorts strand
ed on the political shoals.
We heard Gen. Ogesby speak in the Wigwam
and before the National Convention in Philadel-
pha in June last lie convinced US that the ar
dor, enthusiasm and confidence that his manly
and thrilling words were calculated to inspire
in the patriotic breasts OF his fellow citizens, be
would bury Mr.. TrumbuIl so deep in bis politi-
cal grave that there would be no resurrection
for him. Gen. Oglesby is a man Of solid, ster-
ling worth-of the Ulysses S. Grant stamp.
ENrERPRIslNG Hon. John W. Garrett and J.
Hall Peasants, the gentlemen charged with the
work of expanding the late appropriation for
deepening the har6or Of Baltimore, visited WASH
iugton on Monday of this week in company
with Hon. VIM. j. Albert, member of Congress
elect from the 9Th Maryland District. They APP
peared before the subcommittee of the House on
Commerce and urged upon them the necessity of
making an appropriation of $500, 900 to apply
to this purpose. This is broad, enterprising and
creditable TO the gentlemen urging it. Balti-
more is large city. 1t has extensive COM
merce. 1t ia making many efforts under sundry
Disadvantages to push ahead and get abreast Of
her near sisters. Her harbor is not such as it
should be The channel to it is not what it
should be. 1t is the duty OF influential and en-
terprisiDg citizens TO do their utmost TO procure
this appropriation TO make the harbor one wor-
thy of the city and enable her to keep pace with
the progressive spirit of the sge. Deepen and
widen the entrance and clean out the harbor and
and let the commerce of The world float into the
bosom Of the Monumental city that sits so grace
fully on Patapscos shore.

2ss~ During the war of the rebellion con-
siderable quantities of gold were taken by the
United States troops. One lot was taken from
jeff. Davis and his attendants when he was
captured and another lot was captured in Rich
mond. The States of Louisiana and Virginia
have persistently claimed this coin. Lately
the counsel for the Bank of Louisiana serv-
ed notice on the Secretary of the Treasury to
give description of the money and an account
Of its capture. The money was turned over to
the United States Treasury by order of Congress
some time since. This aisposes of the matter.
This money is like great many other things
that took their departure during the effort of
certain patriotic ~ gentlemen to abolish the
notorious union of the States. Wesuppose there
are some who would have no serious objection
to the return Of their slaves to them. Wewish
them no harm, but if it will do them any good
we wish them healthy existence until that
day comes around. If they live to see IT, they
will never need coffin.
