from prosecution for himself and his wife,
and full pardon, if. they will return to
the United States. This is conspicuous
confession of the seandalous wrong doing
of Belknap's associates 10 the administra

Mr.. Grants latest nominee for minister

Bob Schenck, called home on account OF
his rascalities, is Richard II. Dana, Jr., Of
Massachusetts. Ben. Butler has gone on
to Washington and shown the fact that
Dana was coveted before Justice Clifford,
of the U. S. supreme court, OF perjury and
of literary piracy. and now Mr.. Dana says
that the senate which confirmed Billings, as
United States judge at New Orleans, need
not get qualmish over the nomination of a
minister who merely saved himself some
labor by borrowing another mans brains
| without leave Dana is right. de will
send his explanation of the borrowing
transaction to the senate, therefore, but
will not demeau himself so far as to appear
personally before committee. and answer
to Buffers charge of petty larceny. Mr.
Grant has remarkable faculty for putting
