postmaster at Rio Frio, and Lloyd Me
kee Mt Robinson. Geo. Lane as post

A prominent New York congress.
man speaking with the GAZETTE cor
respondent of the election for officers
of the house said that he thought they
would give entire satisfaction. Car
Isle is Southern man, but of uncom-
mon ability, and the manner in which
he was favored by our Northern rem
resentative shows sober second
thought and furnishes striking re-
buke TO radical bloody .shiitism. 1t is
my honest conviction that the patriot
ism of the nlassos ut the North are
anxious to exhibit their hostility to
seetionalism. Far sighted congress
men from my section knew this, and
voted accordingly for Carlisle. The
country will find that no man elected
for score of years has been his supe-
rior in the management of the
house.
