knowledge that Prescott had an official
position in the department. About the

to produce certain letters of the Ship

THE fancy of congress now runs to

strong is the desire to spend money IN
this way that the house, this week, in,
sisted in voting $4,000 for statue for
Chief Justice Marshall, although it was
shown that a fund to that amount,
raised by private subscription, was
ready for the purpose. Thirty years
ago the bar of Philadelphia started a
subscription for Marshall statue IN
Washington. The fund now amounts
to $4,000, and recently the trustees
wrote to the attorney general, saying
that they were prepared to erect the
monument as soon as congress would
assign place for it. Congress has ig-
nored this offer, but has instead passed
bill appropriating a like amount to
be expended by a joint committee.
