n WILLARD's HOTEL.
Washington, January 8, 1875 !
Gov. Nichols. Lieut. Gov. Wilt, Senators Goode
and Ed. White. Speaker L. Bush:
Gentleme,a-Before leaving New Orleans I
sent you copies of sour Merchant Marine"
and Memorial Of Chamber of Commerce"
praying for mail steamship communication
from our city to Aspinwall and Brazil.
Would it not be well to have passed Joint
resolution indorsing the memorial, or urging
upon Congress such action as would secure
the object sought.
The South Carolina Legislature has passed
a resolution of the kind suggested. The out
look is very favorable but I wish every pos
sible infu snce to assist in speedy results.
