This affair has caused great excitement here.
The Council OF State has just reported on railroad

eminent should not take into consideration any
proposals from person so compromised by his
actsl" There Is also no doubt that the imperial
government has refused to renew the Brazil and
United States mail contract with the present hold
ers, and it will therefore be advisable that some
other New York firm should take the matter up
in time. the contract expiring in 1874. ma8bnt
