ton bills. He has concluded that there j.
but one ground to take in relation thereto.

they strengthen his conviction. He will,
according 20 latest information. veto the
measures with a ringing message, sounding

tionary purpose lie Is following the de-
bates closely. ScrutInizing them, point hy

Bennett. Illinois and Wisconsin were not
ready 10 present names. II is probable
that either Hon. ". T.. Chandler or
Hon. Geo c. Gorham will be Sec
rotary of the committee, which means
business. both being grand organi-
zer> and workers. The work will begin
at once by supplying doubtful districts
with documents that will be OF interest

Capt. Eads has written another letter
defending himself against the blackmailerS
of the press in the matter of his MiSSiS-
sippi ietties. He i amply sustained by the
Government officers, who say his work Is

the northwest especially, that want Sena-
tor Window kept in the foreground as
representative of the radical and progress
sive population of that section. Senator
Window is a worthy, able man, is warm
personal friend of Gen. Grant, and 1t is
said the latter will prefer him if he does
not enter the list himself, which friends
who are travelling around the world with
him, say he will not do.
Mr. Frye, OF Maine, is pretty good
man to puncture the rebels, and he took
Blackburn in hand the other day, showing
that the worst fre-eaters and conspirators
in the South endorse his course and shout
treason in the same breath. Blackburn,
Chalmers and other hotheads get FESTIVE
