DR.. Berkeley's Dismissal.

Fresh facts have come out in REGARD |
70 the efforts of Senator Martin to {
have DR.. Carter Berkeley removed
from his place under the Sergeant al
Arms of the Senate. The Doctor, VINO
is closely related to the Lees, was ap- {
pointed by special request OF senator
Daniel. Daniel and Martin are very
thick They are opposed to the ~?
| factions in Virginia, and they are anu
Cleveland to the backbone, while the
Lees are red hot advocates OF the Ad-
ministration. While Daniel was OUT
Of the CITY, his clerk. who was dong
i some work for Martin, went to Berke
lev and informed him that Martin nau
heard he was going to resign, and tnat
the Senator would like to have MS
RESIGNATION. The Doctor replied that
| he had no idea of resigning, and tnaS
, If Martin was in earnest the clerk hao
better get the request in writing
Meanwhile, Berkeley had a chat
with Col. Dick Bright, the Sergeant,

n firm. Col. Bright assured him ne
= would not remove him at the requese
of Martin.
