him this morning-the first time any let
ter has been promptly delivered for some
time.
General Henderson has been il
Washington since last December, but we
fail to see any mark he has made; land it is
seldom his name was mentioned except al
roll call Charley Durham served one
term in the legislature, land in that short time
made record that places him in the front
rank of Illinois statesmen. Brains will
tell. Cambridge CHIEF.
