resentaves are growing restivc They complain that
the Board the day that 1t has only

every morning getting under way, aud that all kinds
of irvolies used pretexts TO prolong the
sons in accordance with the republican programme.

to-day upon this subject
EXCLUSION PRxss.
The HERALD representative to-day madc q formal

HERALps application Tor admission TO the executive
session resulted in the voluntary rctrement OF one or

committee The action OF tho Board in the
HERALD case severely ceosured, and is regarded
another alarming evidence OF the Boards Intention TO
