The general CONNIE nj on the inaugural adj
drcs, OF Mr.. GaI field in this city appears to
be that its spirit is conciIatory and salts
factory. but that its views are to some eX-
tent those OF visionary and fauatical man,
especially in regard to the negro question.
His faith i'll the mere count Of noses APP
pears to be absolute and supreme, and his
TRADE against fraud is regarded as not quite
consistent with his own record as member
Of the Electoral Commission. However, II
is hoped that he will make a good Presi-
dent; and such is town-talk about it.
Hon. Robert f. Withers arrived in The
city this morning from Washington city.
The weather is still hard-cOld, aud The
snow Is banked up in all shady places.
