issue, let them put aside their RiddIeberger
bill, with its forclble extinction OF ten mil
lions OF Indebtedness; let them enforce the
McCullocb law, to which the creditors as

The Alexandria Gdsette's Washington
correspondent says: A gentlemen from

day the Half-Breeds " charged upon the
Stalwafts" that a petition on behalf OF
Conkling, containing several thousand
names, was a rank forgery, and now the

The Alexandria Gazette says q" No man
is more aware OF the value OF the press than
Senator Malone. 1t Is not surprising, there

newspaper correspondents who went to
Richmond to report the proceedings OF bis
convention, and the wisdom OF bis course

rosy hue they all gave to that piebald assem-
biage."
