wife and sisters stand ready to give deeds Of

grows out Of run on the bank year or two

created such distruct that the bank lost

8. L. Hayden, who was appointed
from Maryland 16 years ago, has been sum-
marily dismissed from his position as clerk.
Secretary Schurz, in his letter of dismissal, sets
forth that the testimony taken by the board
of inquiry shows that Hayden, according to
his own evidence, has accepted money or 9TH
er things Of value from contraction and has
held private correspondence with outside par
ties In relation to the official business of the
department. The secretary concludes by
saying: Such conduct is uttuetly incompat-
ible with that sense Of duty and those prln-
clp1es Of honor which should animate every
public officer. Secretary Schurz in conversa-
ton, expresses the earnest determination Of
summarily dismissing any and all employees
who may be found guilty Of irregular or cor
rupt practices.

The Republicans are greatly divided
upon the next candidate for speaker, in fact
the party seems somewhat torn up for their

candidate and for this reason he will be most

friends of Banks will work hard to secure his
election. Among the Democrats Samuel

was impossible that there could be more per

cabinet, not only on the Southern policy but
on all questions. He said the president and
