deserved all that WAS said Of him:
Senator Conkling. however, had no
right to say it of Senator Patterson.
Patterson, by the way, in his apol-
osy in the Senate for his course, Bit
terly attacked Mr.. Hayes and his
Southern policy. Yet the next day
Saturday he voted with the Demo-
Gratis and against his own party, to
confirm certain Democratic appoint

and threatened for time to prevent
the Admission of any of the contest

on which Mr.. Hayes has an excellent
opportunity to commend himself to
the people, and the best opinion is
that he will most scrupulously" ex-
clude anything of q purely political
character. .. ,a..

ize the Government to buy the
Freedmen's Bank building in this
city, reappeared in the House on
Saturday. This time, one other
building, in Florida, was added.
This has long been known as scan
dalous scheme for saddling upon
the Government the debts of the
bankrupt institution, taking there
for its worthless or deprecated prop
erty.
At very large meeting of Mexi-
