TROUBLE BREWING. The Washington Re-
publican of this morning says There were
two of them, and they were from Alexandria.
They came here for purpose, but Jailed to
accomplish it. One was lawyer, the other
an official. They were searching for the man
who wrote that article on the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad. in which the young lawyer
figured cunspcuousy as spread eagle orator,
aud was checked in his lofty flight of rhetoric
by the Chici Justice Of the United States.
They were anxious to meet that man-o the
dark. light, rain, sunshine or moonshDe, any
where, only 50 that the meeting was secured.
Sore wroth were they, filled trimming full of
that anger which it is very hard to appease;
but when they were told that the man who
wrote it weighs twenty oulccs to the pound
aud is walking arsenal, they found it conye
perhaps, is all for the best" There is about
as much truth in this as there was in the re-
port Of the speech which was never made,
and 10 the remarks of the Chief Justice
which were never uttered.
