he will most likely let matters take
their natural COURSE" |. e. become

Johu A. Kasson, Envoy Extraordi.
nary and Minister Plenipotentiary
at Vienna, made little speech at
Des Moines the other day, In which
he says that "public sentiment is
drifting strongly toward General
Grant" as the next Republican
candidate for President.--"I am
of the IMPRESSION" said Senator
Thurman recently, "although /
may be self-deceiving, that one of
the pleasanest things that 1 shcll
recollect in after life, as occurring
in my public service, will be the
fact that this extra session has
done no small service for American
liberty. That is my opinion about
it.n

Love me, love my United States
Marshal.-[R. B. H.--Conger, of
Michigan, will probably go up to
Lake Superior to cool his pcp-gun.
I'm honor of the adjournment OF
Congress, the mercury went up to

ought to be able to borrow
enough to keep his bull-dozers in
funds. Every Government clerk
can give five dollars.-Most OF
Mr.. Hayes $4,000 is intended to

tear Of building Veto Messages.
The rumor that Rogers writes 'em

Served him right. 1t was nomi-
nation not fit to be made, and the
President ought to be ashamed OF
himself. 1t is not reputable to put
such characters into political offices
but to put them on the judicial
bench Is utterly disgraceful.--The

press is continually denouncing.
Now read it: "The people of this
Commonwealth have the sole and

p where they hoped to have the pre-

and the bill went to the President
in the precise form it left the
House. He could not do otherwise
