ST. PAUL. TUESDAY, JAN. 10, 18S2. CHANGE IS THE STATE ADMINISTRATION.

The change in state officers was quietly made at the capitol yesterday, so little noise and bluster being made that few of those in the building, even, knew of the change until it had taken place. The relations of Gov. Pillsbury and Gov. Hubbard are very cordial, and the transfer was pleasant and graceful on the part of bsth. The welcome extended Gov.

Hubbard and the incoming administration, by the citizens of St. Paul, last evening, was cordial and appropriate. St. Paul welcomes Gov. Hubbard and his associates, and trusts that the present era of good feeling will permanently continue.

The interests of the State will be well guarded and cared for by Gov. Hubbard. WHEAT TRANSPORTATION. he annual yield of wheat in California has increased from 20,000,000 bushels in 186S to about 48,000,000 bushels in 1881. The high freights which have ruled on -wheat between San Francisco and Liverpool, during this time, taken in connection with the decrease in yield owing to over-cropping laud, has made the wheat crop a very uncertain one on the Pacific coast.

The cost to ship a bushel of wheat from San Francisco to Liverpool has fluctuated during the last ten years from twenty-four to seventy cents, the latter figure having been reached in 1572. The new scheme to ship by rail to St. Louis and thenco by barge lines to New Orleans is but a shadow, which coming competition between the Union and Central Pacific and the Southern Pacific lines, has cast beforehand. It is estimated that the surplus wheat crop of California and Oregon will within ten years amount to 100,000,000 bushels. The transportation 06 this wheat would require 200,000, cars with a capacity of fifteen tons each.

Mr. Huntington promises to ship this wheat across the continent and thence to Europe at a lower rate than it can be shipped to Liverpool direct from San Francisco, with a saving in time of at least ninety days. To do this he would have to carry wheat to New Orleans for about fourteen cents a bushel, in order to compete with water lines carrying at the low rate of eight dollars a ton from San Francisco To do this will put to the test the long haul theory, besides necessitating a reduction on car rates east of from four to six hundred per cent, on present rates. But with cars having a capacity of twenty tons instead of twelve and fifteen, Mr. Huntington will be able to give the long haul theory a fair trial.

RAILROAD DIFFICULTIES. The Board of Railroad and Warehouse Commissioners, of Illinois, having called on the Chicago Alton railroad to comply with the schedule of maximum rates which they had adopted for the guidance of railroads doing business in that state, the board of directors of the Chicago Alton road met in Chicago on the 31st and adopted the following resolution: Resolved, That inasmuch as the charter of this company in express terms imposes upon its president and directors the duty of fixing rates of toll for the transportation of freight and passengers over its railroad, our obligations to the public and to the stockholders aliL: forbid our transfer of such duty to others, and any abandonment of the performance of the same; and we respectfully protest against all undertakings by others to perform our duties in this respect. This company contends that no tariff of rates can be made in conformity with the legislation of the state of Illinois upon business principles, and that any tariff made in accordance with such legislation will be unsatisfactory to the agricultural, manufacturing and commercial interests of the state. To avoid an expensive and vexatious litigation, this company has made and published rates for the transportation of passengers and freight over its railroads, which rutes now in force harmonize substantially with the tariff made and published by the railroad and warehouse commissioners. In making such rates we have deemed it better for the public and and our stockholders to adopt the course indicated, until our rights are finally settled, ratber than to maintain constant contention relative to them.

When we take into consideration the fact that, in a case involving the constitutionability of the law creating the Illinois board of railroad and warehouse commissioners, the supreme court of the United States sustained tho constitutionality of the law, the action of the management of the Alton road in this case is somewhat involved in a mystery. In the case passed on by the supreme court, the Illinois Central railroad was, we believe, the plaintiff. This road being a land grant road, with corporate rights defined by federal laws, was in a position to make a case much stronger than it is possible for a 'road chartered under state laws to make; and os the court expressly asserted the right of the State of Illinois to regulate tariff rates on that road, notwithstanding the road was organized under a charter Irom the general government, the prospects of the Chicago Alton road in getting relief frem the courts, are not very bright. The protest and expressed purpose of the management Alton road to acquiesce in the tariff rates established by the board of commissioners, "untii their rights are finally settled," would seem to indicate a purpose on the part of the road to seek legal redress, but from all the lights now before us; we are unable to see how they are to make a case giving a promise of ultimate sue- CITY GLOBULES.

THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE, TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 10, 1882.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. Asking Congress for a West St. Paul Levee River Transportation Bates on Wheat- West St. Panl Road. At the Chamber of Commerce, yesterday, Mr.

Murray offered the following resolution, which was adopted: Resolved, That the secretary of the chamber of commerce is hereby instructed to call the attention of the Minnesota delegation in Confress to the memorial of the legislature of the tate of Minnesota, approved February 10, 1881, asking Congress to make an appropriation to aid in the construction of a levee and the improvement of the Mississippi river at Bt. Paul, and request them to assist in procuring the legislation necessary to accomplish the purpose named in said memorial. BIVER TRANSPORTATION. The following report, presented by Capt. Reaney was adopted: To the St.

Paul Chamber of Commerce: Your committee appointed by this chamber for the purpose of investigating and reporting to this chamber the difference of freight rates by river and rail since the improvement of the Mississippi river, would report, and wishes this chamber to rember the competition of the Mississippi river with railroads is limited mainly to shipments of grain and flour to St. Paul and points on the river below this city for exportation from New Orleans to foreign countries. This tonnage thus divided amounted in 1881 to 30,000 bushels of wheat and 135 barrels of flour from thia city to New Orleans by river. The rates by rail from St. Paul to Glasgow were, in June, 18S1, per barrel, and by river 65 cents per barrel.

Your committee could not get railroad rate on wheat to any foreign port but the rate by river was 25 cents per bushel from St. Paul to Glasgow. You will see the difference is in favor of the river route on flour of cents per barrel. The same difference will hold good on wheat in favor of the river route. Mr.

George Morgan, secretary of the St. Louis Merchants Exchange, says that upon the opening of navigation in the month of March, 1881, and for some time thereafter, the through rate from Bt. Louis to Liverpool was as high as cents per bushel wheat -while the rate by rail via New York and thence by steamer to Liverpool was about 35 cents. He states, however, that since the first rush ended freights have gradually declined until on the 316t oi May the rate from St. Louis to Liverpool via the Mississippi river was only cents per bushel on wheat, whereas at the same time by the rail route via Atlantic seaports, it was about 30 cents per bushel, a difference per bushel in favor of the river route.

This same difference will hold good as to the shipment of wheat made from St. Paul in June, 1881. Mr. John King, late first vice president of the Baltimore Ohio Railroad company, in his report to the joint executive committee of the east and west trunk lines under date of April, 1881, states that on March 20, last, the total charges for transportation on grain from St. Louis to Liverpool, via New Orleans, including river rates, ocean rates, insurance and transfer charges at New Orleans amounted to 46 cents per 100 pounds, or 28 cents per bushel, and that at the 6ame time the total charges for transporting grain from Bt.

Louis to Liverpool, via New York, including rail and ocean rates and all incidental charges amounted to 60 cents per 100 pounds, or cents per bushel. This shows the charges on the route via New Orleans to be less than the rate via Atlantic sea porta by cents per bushel. At the time this statement was made by Mr. King, the river rate was cents per bushel from St Louis to New Orleans. It is believed by well informed persons that grain can thus be transported in barges at a profit from 5 cents to 4 cents per bushel The extent of the diversion of grain by the Mississippi river, is illustrated by the following table, showing the exports from the cities onjthe Atlantic and gulf coasts: Year ended Philadel- June 30.

In conclusion, your committee would state, if the government will give us six feet of water between this city and St. Louis and eight feet between St.

Louis and New Orleans for six months of the year it will be only a question of time when the port of New Orleans will occupy the position that New York occupied as a shipping port in 1880. Taking the above figures of freight rates and the very lowest saving would be, between rail and river, eight cents per bushel; and on a basis of 40,000,000 of a wheat crop for our state and we have a saving of $3,200,000 to the produce of one crop and a saving to the ten fitates bordering on the Mississippi river, on the same 40,000,000 bushels of (it matters not if it is cotton, tobacco, corn or wheat, as the same saving would be made on these several products,) we would have a saving on one crop of $32,000,000. It does not follow that the whole of the products of these several states would have to go by river to make these savings. With good navigation, railroads would be compelled to carry for same rates as river. Respectfully submitted.

inaugarat ion of Gov. Hnbbard and Other State Simple Ceremony of Taking the Oath of OiUce, an Artillery Salute and Brief Changes Among Allnor Neatly Conducted Presentation to Retiring Gov. Feeling Presentation Speech by Kv-Gov. Marshall and Heartfelt Response by Gov. Pillsbury.

Yesterday at 2.30 p. m. Hon. John 8. Pillsbury, the chief executive of the state for six years past, laid aside the cares and duties of the office which he had co long held with credit to himself and the state, and Hon.

L. F. Hubbard, chosen to the office by the suffrages of the people as expreesed through the ballot box, subscribed to the oath of office and entered upon the performance of its duties. The legislature not being in session the ceremony connected with the change was entirely formal. Shortly before the hour named, the state officials elect and outgoing, and a few officials in and about the Market house at the time, took seats En the governor's private room.

Among those present the reporter noticed Chief Justice Gilfillan, Adjutant Gen. Van Cleve, Gen. Marshall and Gen. Baker, the outgoing and incoming railroad commissioner, Attorney General Hiihn, State Treasurer Kettleson, Secretary of State Yon Baumbach, and Clerk of the Supreme Court Nichols, who succeed themselves; State Superintendent Kiehle; Capt. McGill, State Insurance Commissioner; Auditor-elect Braden; H.

H. Young, Secretary of the State Board of Immigration; Assistant Secretary of State and Commissioner of Statistics Christian cy; Gen. Jennison, private secretary to Gov. Hubbard; Col. H.

G. Hicks, Minneapolis; Postmaster Keith, Minneapolis; Col. Hippewa, of Cbippewa county; E. Fisher, W. L.

Wilssn and other citizens of St. Paul. The company seated, and the hour designated for the ceremony (2:30) having arrived, Gov. Pillsbury arose, and addressing himself to his successor, Gov. Hubbard, spoke in substance as follows: The time has now arrived when it becomes my duty to turn over to my successor in office the executive department of this state.

In doing this I cannot permit this opportunity to pass without availing myself of it to publicly express to one and all of my associates in office, as well as all others who have been connected with this administration, my most grateful thanks fot- the uniform kindness and courtesy which I have always received at your hands, for those years and down to the present moment of my official life. I shall carry with me none but the kindest and most pleasant recollections of the pleasant and friendly acquaintances with whom I now sever my official connection. To you, General Hubbard, to whom the people have confided this trust, I now surrender the executive department of this state. You have long been a resident of this state, have participated in moulding its political character, and 1 bespeak for you the same generous courtesies which hare always been extended to me. I sincerely hope and believe that prosperity will attend you so long as you shall remain chief executive of this great commonwealth.

Upon the conclusion of Gov. Pillsbury's remarks Gov. Hubbard responded quite briefly saying: Gov. Pillsbury I thank you for your kind words and good wishes. Allow me too, to congratulate you on the eminent success you achieved during your incumbency of the office.

In taking upon myself the duties of the office so faithfully and so ably administered by you for so long a period of time, and during such au important era ii the history of our state. I feel that I shall require all the resources I can command to sustain the high character given the office through your administration, but guided by your example, and cheered your hearty of goodwill, I shall enter upon the duties of the office with an earnest aad honest effort to do that duty in whatever position I may be placed, as shall according to my best judgment, in a manner that shall best subserve and advance the interests of our young and rapidly growing State. Chief Justice Gilfillan then administered the oath of office to Gov. Hubbard, and immediately thereafter to Gen. Balrcr, as railroad commissioner, StateTreasurerKittelson, Associate Justice of the Bupreme Court Dickinson, and Auditor elect Braden.

A short eason of hand shaking and congratulations followed, and the inauguration was complete. While the inauguration was in progress the Emmett Light Artillery, Capt. C. M. McCarthy, fired the customary salute, the battery being placed on the open space in front of the Adams school.

After completing the salute and disbanding the company, Capt. McCarthy called and paid his respects to Gov. Hubbard. All the officers elected at the late election have now subscribed to the oath except Associate Justice Vanderburg, who it is understood has matters connected with the judgeship of the Fourth judicial district, from which he emerges to the supreme court yet requiring his attention. Auditor elect Braden, though subscribing to the oath of office yesterday, will not officially qualify by filing his official bond for eeveral days, the delay being for the purpose of allowing Auditor Whitcomb to close some business connected with the office it is desirable should be completed under his administration, and delayed by the large amouut of extra work imposed upon the office by the bond settlement, etc.

Railroad Commissioner Marshall has his office in shape to turn over to his successor, Gen. Baker, which will be done this morning. The other changes about ths capitol are merely those In subordinate positions, and It is understood the changes will be by no means sweeping. As before announced. Mr.

Pennock Pusey, private secretary to Got. Pillsbury, during the six years of his administration, retires with his chief, and will, as he told the reporter, engage in doing just f.s little of anything as possible for the present. He will in a short time go east for a visit, and be absent until May. Gen. Jennison will occupy Mr.

Pnsey's chair with Gov. Hubbard, a position in which he has had previous experience, havflrst served under Gov. Ramsey from January 2, 1860, to June, IS6I, and again after the war for three years with Gov. Marshall. Frank Carlton, executive clerk to Gov.

Pillsbury during his last term, also retires to engage in the practice of law at Minneapolis. His successor has not yet developed. To Messrs. Pusey and Carlton, the Globe In bidding them good bye, officially desires to return thanks for courtesies extended. As before 6tated by the Globe it is understood that Auditor Braden will retain Mr.

Kinyon as his chief clerk, and the present clerical force of the office, at least for the present, dipt. Berger, late member of the house, from Mankato, it is understood is to succeed Capt. Davis as military storekeeper. If other changes are to be made they have Lot become the property of the reporter. A Genuine Presentation Surprise Shortly after the inauguration ceremonies, and Gov.

Pillsbury had become a private citizen, the several State officials and employees about the capital, and a few invited spectators assembled in the supreme court room to wit, ness a presentation to Gov. Pillsbury by his former associates. The company seated, Capt. A. R.

McGill, state insurance commissioner, sought out Gov. Pillsbury, and telling him Judge Clark and Clerk Nichols desired to see him in the court room upon some matter upon which he had before been consulted, secured his presence in the room without exciting his suspicion. As he stepped inside, however, and saw all his old associates in the state government, and the clerks and employes about the building assembled, a shade of perplexity swept over his countenance. This look of perplexity increased, when, without loss of time, ex-Gov. Marshall, addressing him by name, and speaking in a most earnest and feeling manner, made the presentation in the following words: Governor Pillsbury: A few minutes ago, when in the other end of capitol you resigned to your worthy successor the high trust which thrice the people committed to your hands, you took occasion to speak pleasantly of the agreeable relations that had existed between yon and those associated with yon in the state government.

Your feeling remarks met a ready response in my own breast and I am sore in that of every one else in these relations. We bare enjoyed such unvarying courtesy, such kindly and helpful aid from you at all times, in every duty, that you are endeared to us in much any ordinary degree. Your associates desire to testify this regard iv some visible token that shall be a remembrance to you in your own horn our heartfelt regard and affection We ask you to receive these volumes of a work which encircles the whole field of human knowledge, as a testimonial of our warm regard for you, more as from man to man, than of a public or official nature. We leave to the unerring judgment of history the estimate of your public services. With no misgivings or doubt we present this token of our affection from tho heart.

Accept it, and as you place it in your library and open its pages, you and your children, may it be to you and to them a remembrance of the pleasant years of our association and of our grateful regard. May Heaven's choicest blessings attend you along down the pathway of life to the end. As the remarks of Gov. Marshall proceeded, Gov. Pillsbury's face was the reflex of the different emotions with which he was effected, perplexity, surprise and heartfelt gratification at the manifestation so expressed of good-will toward him personally.

Rising to respond it was some time before he could control his voice sufficiently to articulate. But finally temporarily mastering his emotions he said in subatance that he was more than surprised at the very handsome presentation and deeply grateful for the kindly expressions of good will to him personally which had accompanied it. During the years of his connection with the executive department of the state government, his intercourse with his associate officials and all others about the state house, had been uniformly agreeable and pleasant, the remembrance of which he should cherish to his dying day. He was proud, he said, to accept the presentation, and he should place it in- his library, where it should always remain to remind him of the tried and true friends from whom he had just severed his official connection. The governor then concluded by asking one and all to accept his grateful thanks for their very handsome and highly appreciated testimonial.

Every word of the governor's remarks was uttered in a trembling voice, and several Amies he was forced to cease speaking to conquer his emotion. The reporter has witnessed many surprise presentations, but never before did he witness so genuine a such heartfelt feeling evinced on the part of the recipient of the testimonial, and those who made the presentation as on this occasion. It was an occasion that will keep warm in Gov. Pillsbury's heart until its pulsations are stopped in death. The testimonial consists of a full set of the Encyclopedia Brittanica, twenty-two volumes in all, including index, elegantly bound in Russia, and cost nearly $200.

On motion of Senator Sherman bla bill to provide for the issue of 3 per cent, bonds was taken up without a formal vote. Senator Vest offered an amendment, which was ordered printed, adding to the bill a section identical with the; fifth or compulsory section, vetoed in the 3 per cent, bill session, but modified to cover a provision for It makes the bonds the sole basis for the bank circulation. Senator Sherman said In view of the very full discussion of the geneml proposition of the bill in the debates on the vetoed measure last session, and as he believed every senator had made up his mind on it, he wonl 1 confine himself to a brief statement of a few facts and hoped before the day ended a vote would be taken and the bill passed or defeated. The bill presented except as to detail, the specific busii.es question whether it was advisable or not to extend at a lower rate and longer time for payment, any portion of the debt that now s.jnds re deem.ible at the pleasure of the government There were now of redeemable and aid, arid the bill would aflfer a 3 per cent, bond, redeemable after live years at pleasure of the government, at par with coin, in order, with the money thereby re to pay oft' two hundred million dollars of per cent, extended bonds. The only expense" involved would be in the printing of tie bonds, and these would cost no more thar.

did the printing of the per cents. Tin sinking fund ordinarily would probably absorb in live years about two hundred and fifty million dollars, leaving about three hundred liion unprovided for at the end of that period. It was true the surplus revenues were large, aud that in a year that fund would more than meet the requirements of the sinking fund, but in view of the pending questions of a reduction of tax it ion, tariff revision and arrearages of pensions outlay, it would seem that not more than could be safely counted on as beir paid ofi within the next, livo years, as, piv viding an ample margin of gold we had left 1 hree hundred and fifty million dollars unprovided for. The saving of one-half of one per a nt. would amount to one million dollars per car, or a total of five millions.

While the dill would establish a rale of interest as low as any ever known in any country of the world. If we sell our 3 per cents at par, we do tetter than any country has yet done, because England when she sold her 3 per cents at par always gave an additional guarantee in return of discouut in bounty. He ha Ino doubt the bonds would be readily taken up. His objection to Vests amendment was the government ought to require for bank notes outstanding the highest form of security, and to deny to banks the right to purchase! per cents, am to compel them to buy 3 per cents, did not seem to be a wise thing for the security of the note holder. An additional eonsidi ration was this, that the credit of the governnent being now established, it was under no obligation to compel anybody to buy its bonds.

There was a time when he, Sherman, advocaxd in the senate a compulsory provision as tha now proposed, but it was at the close of the war, in time of difficulty and whe the public credit was disturbed. The reason which then existed for compelling banks aid the government did not now exist. Another objection was the one given by President Hayes, who did not object to a 3 per cent, bond, but vetoed the bill entirely, because of the com pulsory feature, which seemed to aim to be a hostile movement against the tonka, and to restrain them in the operation of organizing. Further, it had been manifes from the state of the market, since the defea; of the bill of last session, that at no time could a 3 per cent, bond have been sold at par. It seemed to him (Sherman) fortunate for 'he government that the 3 per cent, bill, ii any form, had been defeated, in view of tin admirable manner in which the interest had been reduced from 5 and 4 to percent.

The at the same time had saved the difference in interest, while retaining its option as to the time of payment. Hia objection to McPherson's amendment for a 10:30 bond was that it would make the date of maturity the same as that of the per cents. In reply to McPherson, Sherman added: The difference between the five hundred and fifty millions now outstanding and the six hundred and fifty millions we owed a year ago, had been paid out of the surplus rever ues and of that amount the 200,000,000 namel in the bill had not been made larger, because of the obligation to provide $50,000,000 per year for the sinking fund. Senator McPheison said at no me was tlie for refunding at low more than at the time of the to of the 3 per cent, bill of last session, vetohad 'ollowed the statement by Senate Sherman, secretary of the treasury, that he regarded the measure as experimental and danjerous. The change of heart to which the ienator now confessed had been rapid that comparison with it the conven ion of St.

Paul seemed slow and tedious. Ile was glad to see the senator's batteries iow turned in favor of the measure. The demand for curency will always keep ftep with he increase of population and nd as this increase can only obtained hrough national bonds, provisioc should be made accordingly. As the bonds would be absorbed by the banks it would be striking a blow at the banks 'to fix an earlier period for redemption and payment than ten years and thirty years respectively. Bayard spoke of the exceptionally favorable condition of the government with reference to its currency at this time, anil the unquestioned confidence of the holders in the security of bonds.

lie was averse to assuming any risk that would tend to disturb this sense of security, even for the sake of an apparent reduction of one-half of one per cent, in interest. He would say well enough alone. Let the business of the country How as it safeiy can flow under our present system of currency notes. The amendments to the bill reported by the committee were agreed to. Senator Beck briefly opposed McPhersou'd amendment, observing it would put it out of the power of coDgress to tax the people to pay the principal of the debt until a later period.

Senator That is exactly the object have in view. Senator That is exactly what I do not want. Referring to the president's veto of last session, he said the 3 per cent, bill was vetoed by the banks, and the president showed he was about to say in allowing himself to be dictated to by the banks. Senator Vest here secured the floor, but the senate went into executive session, and soon afterwards adjourned. House of Representatives Washington, Jan.

The house mtt this morning, and it being bill day, a large number of new bills were introduced, including one changing the manner of electing members of congress. Woman Suffrage. Washington, Jan. The woman suffrage, question assumed a new phase in the senate to-day, which may indicate that it is to beoine a live issue in American politics. On Bayard's amendment, to refer the Hoar resolution to create a standing committee on woman suffrage, to the judiciary committee, the Republicans voted "no" unanimously, and the Democrats voted "aye." Senator Davis, of Illinois, voted with the Republicans, and the question thus became one of politics, as far as the creation of this committee is concerned, the Republicans supporting the resolution and tlie Democrats opposing it.

The woman's rights advocates are feeling very much encouraged at this attitude. Conferring the right of suffrage on women is bound to be one of the most important political issues from this our, and the Republicans in planting jupon it, have assured their party control of I the country for twenty years to come. There are some Republican senators, however, who are not yet ready to stand upon the woman suffrage platform. They say they favor the creation of a standing committee to take cognizance of all matter pertaining to the question of woman's rights, because women are entitled to a hearing, and that is the only way of assuring their petitions consideration. But if the question was to confer suflrage upon women, they would not be ready to vote in its favor just yet.

Silver Certificates. Washington, Jan. The bill introduced by Senator Teller to provide for a deposit of silver bullion and the issue of certificates therefor authorizes the holders of silver bullion, nine hundred tine or over, to deposit the same with the treasurer, or any assistant treasurer of the United States, in qnantities of 1,000 ounces or over, for which they are to receive the market value thereof in certificates of not less than Such certificates artmade payable on demand in coin or United States notes, and shall be receivable for customs, tuxes and public dues. It also parofidea that holders of silver dollars may deposit ttusame with the treasurer of the United Stateand receive therefor one and two dollar ceitifteates, until the whole amount of one and two dollar certificates shall amount to ten million dollars. These small certificates wil! also be made receivable for customs, taxes and public dues.

The bill further pro that the bullion so deposited be coined at the mint as rapidly as can be done, eonsiatenlly with economy and without iuttrferins with the coinage of gold. Public Printer. Washington, Jan. Senator Plumb de dines to be interviewed in relation to the public printer, Uofrees, attack upon him, or to say a word upon the subject one way or the other. He doas not intend to pay any attention whatever to the attack.

The impression is that this aft of Defrees has had a damaging eflect upon his of retention in the office he now holds. A gentleman who saw the presi dent Saturday in Defrees' interest says: He left the white house with the impression that no change would be made hut that Defrees' unwise attack upon Senator Plumb undoubtedly hurt him. This gentleman declare he would nat work any longer in Defrees interest. A. Burner, editor of the Grand Eagle, is candidate for public printer, and is bucked by the entire Michigan delegation, other Western congressmen.

His friends regard his prospect as favorable. The other candidates arc Rounds, Chicago, and Oyster, of Penu sylvania. OENEK.4.I. CAPITOL NEWS. NOMINATIONS.
