Mr.. Editor The weather durin.

always dull in the summer, bn
seldom as quiet Is at the presen

Secretary Bayard is the only mem
Der of the Cabinet who has remain
ed at his post throughout the sea
sou, aud he finds himself sadly IN
need of rest and recreation, and
will leave for "a few days SOon after
the return of the President.
notwithstanding the reports that
have been published concerning the
alleged conduct of Mr.. Sedgwick
in Mexico, Mr.. Bayard says that he
does not believe that they contain
ii word Of truth. AS to the resolutions
adopted by the Americans in the
city of Mexico, so far as they relate
to Mr.. Sedgwick, he has the slight
est respect for them, as he believes
that the story was started TO injure
Mr.. Sedgwick's representations to
the Department in regard to the
Cutting case. His personal char
acter has been assailed, he says,
and when he attempts to vindicate
tue ceuduct of the State Depart
meut in the Cutting case he expects
that the story will be revived in
order to break the force of his re-.
Jort or injure his credibility.
