Mr.. Holt is large employer of labor,

rather than any other available man. The
salary is considerably larger than at
Washington and it is a promotion to Mir
Beaman. His friends in Washington,
while hating to give him up, will see that
they are not warranted in making such
a protest as will do Mr. Beaman no
good, and will tend to embarrass the
worthy and noble minister who has been
