Hamburg and vicinity.

decline it. In that event it is declared
that either Silas B. butcher, of New
York, or Kennett Raynor, of North
Carolina, will be appointed. No effort
has been made to induce Pratt to re-
main. The President asked for his
resignation and is not disposed to re-
consider. Pratt goes out August LIST.
1t is now agreed that Congress will
not adjourn before the LIST of August,
and if the Judiciary Committee should
decide that Robson a be impeached,
it is doubtful if there will be any ad-
journment before fall. Republican

follow that of Belknap. That is the
only contingency that now seems
likely to prolong the session.

Mr.. Vanderbilt said yesterday he
