tary of the Interior to suspend action on the |
New Idria Company's application for a patent
until Congress shall have disposed of the !
pending bill on the subject of the McGarra-
han claim, but Page promptly objected, and
! the resolution therefore was not read but |
doubtless it viii be brought before the House |
within the next few days, as the committee
will very soon be reached in the regular call |
for reports.
Senator Lamar's friends are much relieved !
| by advices received by Senator Gordon as to |
his condition. He has left Jackson, and is |
now at his home in Oxford, and his health |
improves steadily. He is therefore expected |
to be able to resume his seat in the Senate |
, very soon.
| Presidential Prospects.
CHICAGO, January 27th.-Murat Halstead |
| telegraphs to his paper from Washington as
follows, respecting the Presidential pros
poets There Is every prospect that the |
Grant Presidential boom will not last more |
than two weeks longer. 1t PROMISES TO end |
peremptorily ard enally at the Pennsy ivania |
State Convention next week. 1t is reliably |
learned here that some of Grants most init |
mate friends in Pennsylvania have au-
thoritY from him to act in the prem
ises, and that they will withdraw his
name from consideration as candi- |
date. The Pennsylvania Convention, |
where there will be delegates from several |
counties instructed for Grant, will give his |
friends an opportunity to speak out on the |
! subject. His friends decline to enter into a |
contest for the position, and of late it has
become very apparent to them that it would |
be impossible for him to get the nomination |
| without a contest"
Halstead ably quoted James r. Young IA |
Grant mani as saying that Sherman ha, been |
doing stalwart work in his own campaign, |
and has alarmed Blaine's followers and sup. |
| porters, and that it is expected that Blaine |
will devote himself to getting the Grant |
votes, should Grant be withdrawn from the |
canvass.

Of them would attempt to influence the Cen
eral by persuasion, one way or the ether"
