was made at great cost and the Attorney General
suddenly found that he was left without the
necessary contingent fund for the Department;
and, probably fearing that he would be charged
with extravaganza in this use of Department
moneys and that lie would be asked some peril

he was the Republican nominee for an
Office in California in 1867, and was
chosen Secretary of the United States
Senate in 1868. For the latter position
he was again unanimously nominated in

The New York Votkszeit,tng, the most
widely circulating German organ of the Socialist
and Labor parties, thus comments editorially upon
the sanitary condition Of the Capital: The Board
of Health OF Washington asserts for that city q
lower rate of mortality than exists in four of the
largest centres of population, maintaining that 1t
is, on the whole, not very unhealthy city. The
gentlemen evidently paint too rose.colored n
picture. Washington, owing to the spacious char
meter of its ptan and the absence of a very large
element of paupcrism, ought to be by far the
healthicst city with its population of only 10000
souls. 1t Is inexcusable that they do not express
