will vote sOlidly against it that Mr.. Ed
munds can be counted on to oppose it that
Ferry Of Connecticut, Morrill, of Vermont,
Sprague and Wright will back him /; and
that it is believed enough more of the
Republican Senators will fall in, or fall ont.
to swell the negative vote to 35. lie adds
that President Grant blames Senator Ed
munds. As chairman of the J judiciary Com
mittee, for the delay IN the confirmation :;
and that he will - go for him with all the
terrors of the reformed civil service
This last sentence throw doubt over the
previous statements. The President proba-
bly, knows Senator Edmunds well enough,
to know that if he has delayed or opposed
the confirmation of Alr Williams, it has
been in the conscientious discharge Of what
he believed to be duty However that may
be, it is very certain that the reticent Grant
has not told any correspondent whom he
" blames. ~ if he blames anybody in this
matter and that no newspaper man has
been delegated to say who the President
will g go for. or what he will do about it.

Of our daily sheet price twa dollars, in

pearanco is hardly matter for criticism,
inasmuch As the first number was got out

editor stating he Is firm in his adherence
to the principles of the Republican party as
i. now stands" l. deyotes large share of
its space 70 English and European matters,
and affair in the Southern States. We can
not honestly say that We think there Is
field for another paper in this city, or in Yer
mont era possibility that such paper as
Mr. Button proposes to publish, can sue
ceei here, pecunarily. Its proprietor. how
ever, cannot be expected to take our opinion
on the subject and he has perfect right
to try the experiment. rs he proposes TO do.
