known as the SILLY season" Such a

Secretary Carlisle has completed the
regulations under which the $4,000, coo
appropriated by the last Congress TO
pay deferred sugar bouuties will be
disbursed Copies OF these regulations
will be forwarded to the sugar planters,
and as soon as all requirements have
been complied with the money will be
paid. 1t is probable that there will not
be enough TO pay the full amount in
tended by Congress. Should that be
the case when all the claims are in
and tabulated, the claims will all be
scaled down. 1t will take some months
TO arrange all these details, and Treas

This has been an anxious week for
the Republican brethren. Although
every conceivable expedient had been
resorted TO, toprevcnt the precipitation
of fight over the silver question in
the Convention of the Republican
League at Cleveland, Ohio, they have
been in a state OF dread every hour
that the convention was in session lest
their plans should miscarry and the
fight be started, which would spread
like wildfire through the entire party.
