over the death of CONGRESSMAN LAIRD,

that 1t comes in time to fill his seat with
a Republican who is not on the sick list
most of the time, and unreliable when
the party wants his vote. The district
has any Republican majority needed.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-When Capt.

cued passengers and crew of the steamer
Denmark on board, anchored at Phila-
delphla, three men, who were employed
to look out for cattle on the Missouri.
went ashore with the members of the
crew. The immigration commissioners
at Philadelphia heard of this, and COM
planned that the men should not have
been allowed to leave the ship, as they
were merely immigrants, and not enti-
tied to the privileges of the crew in this
respect. Capt. Murrel explained that
they had signed as members of the
crew, although they were empioyed
only to attend the cattle. The collector
at Philadelphia wrote to the treasury
department about the case, and an an
swer has been sent from the secretary
stating that there is no law under which
persons engaged as members Of crew
of foreign vessel can be kept from
landing, and that the only remedy to be
had in future eases is to take precau-
tons to see whether persons coming
under this section of the law are in real
