ont free traders, both able and full of
resources. it will prove almost a miracle

Ii is fairly certain that Mr. Bland will
retain his place us chairman of tile coin
age committee; but Randall and Morri-
soE, the white elephants of the menag-
erie, are not soeasily disposed Of Pos
slbly a compromise may have been
reached. whereby Mr.. Holman. of Ildi-
ANA. may get the craftsmanship of the
appropriations committee, leaving the
other two to divide the ways and means
and some other important place between
them.

transmitted from this county to Great

one that the only confirmation
