SAM PILES having definitely an

and withdraws from the race, numer-
Gus candidates are now in the field
for this tempting plum. 1t was gen.
orally supposed that Mr.. Piles had
become very wealthy man, when
the Supreme Court had sustained his
claims to a large interest in the Sui
livan estate; but it is said it came
out, in the Root investigation, that
he received the modest sum of fifteen
thousand dollars. 1t did not appear
what sum James 8. Howe. another
attorney in this firm, received. An
association was formed to finance the
litigation. According to reports
Piles and Donworth sold their inter-
ests to this corporation while the lit
igation was pending in the courts.
1t is generally supposed, among
prominent parties residing in Seat
tie, and who claim to know the facts,
that lawyer Howe received much
larger sum out Of the estate than
either OF his associates.
