The Hot Springs Affair,

clause, will make a report Immediately after
the recess. Senator Conoyer will be entirely
eXonerated from the imputations cast upon

will probably be left matter for conjecture,

the committee to any conclusion on that point
although the almost universal impression is
that the omission was an error of inadver-
tencc in the hurry of business incidental to
the close of the session
