sOlute repeal. There are others who
think that the Commissioners should
simply be limited In the rules that they
may enact.
In conversation with Judge Holman,
OF Indiana, TO day, no told your cOrre-

President, Ia constantly employed with
his business, and looks upon oil the
formalities Of the swell gatherings here

the Marshal being relieved Of the duties
OF chief funkey means that there Will
DO very little fllnkey business done.
