matte officers say the Russian fleet would

are in direct contradiction to Ben. Wade's
letter published this morning. Thompson,
who has just returned from two weeks
trip west, says the general republican SEN

that this is especially true of those who
founded the republican party twenty-five
years ago.

court were not invited to the recent grand
dinner because the number of guests was

gree of quiet maintained in South Carolina
and Louisiana.

ton of new wing party will be the publ
cation of an interview with Secretary

ization, with internal improvements as the

FRANKING PRIVILEGE.
The seventh section Of the post route
Bill, smuggled in at the close of the session,
was intended to restore frsnking to future
congresses. 1t enacted that all members

purpose of the bill.

ably issue the forty-sixth call for 10000
900, $50 bonds in few days.

sioner from Greensboro, North Carolina,
alluding to the arrest Of internal revenue
officers says: The revenue agents and theiI
assistants came here as strangers and can
not give bail for appearance in the state
courts or take any steps to defend them

the transfer of causes to the federal cour
unconstitutional and hereafter hold and
punish revenue officers and marshals who
make seizures and arrests.
