No Regulation of Freight Rates.

who, after most bitter and dramatic
fight led by Colonel Thomas Hart Ben

ton of censure. a performance which
warmed the cookies of the heart of the
eonquerer of Pakenham. Are we to
witness a repetition of those stirring
scenes: The indications point in that
direction. That there is 4 feud brewing
between the president and the senate
there can be no question. Only 4 few
