Rep­ resentatives from the West especially say the people demand the passage of laws exclud­ ing the adulterated wines and certain other manufactures from such countries as ex­ clude American swine products on the false pretense that they are diseased and unhealthy. POLITICAL. . . CONGRESSMAN HCBD, of Ohio, is after Attorney General Brewster, and a Washington dispatch says he will shortly pre­ fer charges and ask the appointment of a committee to investigate the Department of Justice. The charges as formulated are, in brief, that the detectives In the employ of the department are managing thing* to their own liking; that some of them are unfit for the places they hold; that some of them was discharged some time ago from another department for making false entries; that another has been drawing mileage he was not entitled to, and the money appropriated for the support of the department has not been spent in an eco­ nomical manner, nor with due regard to the r ublic interest.

VALMAK RECTOR, a negro, W hanged at Baton Rouge for the murder of Duncan Williams. The condemned man re­ fused to remain on the scaffold, and screamed Rnd begged for life until he was bound. The Sheriff at Eastman, Ga., on opening the cell door of u colored murderer named James Cruminidy, about to be hanged, was attacked with a kn.fe. The doomed man then made himself unconscious by hacking his throat. He was taken to the scaffold on a stretcher, and supported until the drop fell. The Directors of the Northern Paciflo road held a meeting in New York last week. A letter was read from Henry Villard re­ signing the Presidency of the company be­ cause of nervous prostration and in defer­ ence to the interests of the stockholders. The resignation was accepted, and a special election was ordered to choose a suc­ cessor. The Directois voted Mr. Villard $10,000 per annum for his services. Vice President Oakes reported the line in first- class order except 100 miles near the junction west of Helena. Villard is a total financial wreck. He has made an assign­ ment for the benefit of bis creditors to Wm. Endicott. Jr., of Boston, and Horace White, of New York.

The as­ sassins escaped in a dense wood near at hand, pursued by officers, but the chase was fruitless. One of the pursuing party has not yet turned up.... An account of the murder of Informer Carey, published in Dublin by United Ireland, shows that there was no struggle, O'Donnell delib­ erately killing his man. LAST week was noticeable for an enormous number of failures, the score ex­ ceeding all previous records In recent years.

"Don't you think," remarked Mrs. Bullion, settling herself into . a new Eastlake chair, "that after the mint of money we have spent in our viller, there is still something lacking?" "You are right about that," answered Mr. Bullion, "and I think I know what the trouble is. With all our fine furni­ ture and brickback, and sich things, the walls are as bare as a saw-mill. Now, maybe, you see where the lack comes in!" "Goodness gracious! soldo. Why, we've forgot all about the pictures." "Jes' so. What we want is paintings --oil paintings. I saw some advertised to-day fQr sale at auction, and it's mighty lucky we thought of it in time, fur these (jurist fellows are mighty high-toned about prices, you know." "But is this a good time to buy ?* k Couldn't be better, my dear. They are all painted in oil, the advertisement says so, and I see by another pfcrt of the paper that oil is cheaper than it has been for a year past.

NEW YORK, Nov. 8, 1874.--Friend Colton: Yours of Nov 37 is received with inclosures. It certainly wes a shabby thing in Vining to write snch a letter Towne wrote me and sent me a copy of the letter. I saw Dillon and he seemed very much offended at V. for writing It, and said nothing of the kind should happen again. I think I shall ~<pow your letter to Gould, but they are not our kind of people. I have sent out some copies of Tom Soott's bill as amended by me. Read It carefully and let me know what you think of it. Of course the San Diego people may tot like it unless you agree to bund a road from their place out to connect with our road, and yon may think best to do that. It certainly is very important to S. F. that we build the 8. P, into Ariaona, and it would be well for yon at once to write some let ters for the influential nten of S. F. to sign, to send to all our M. C. and Senators, to iro for the bill as we want it, and if pou do not think it right as it is fix it and send it back; hut if we could get it as it Is I would be satisfied. Storr rays it 'will make Scott very mad, and he thought it best not to send it, and may be he is right; but if Soott kicks at it I propose to say to Congress: "We will build cant of the Colorado to meet the Texas P. without aid," and then see how many members will dare give him •Id to do what we offered to do without. My only fear then would be the cry that theC.P. and the 8. P. was all one and would be a vast monopolv, etc., and that is what we must guard against, and that is one reason why you should )>e in Washington. I send copy of my letter to Scott on sending the bill; he sent it for me to tlx to suit me. The U. P. people are not yet ready to order steamers. Yours truly, C. P. HUNTINOTON.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20. 1874.--Friend Colton: Yours of the 12th in reoeived, and I am glad to learn that you have Luttrell under your charge, but you must be careful and not let him get anything to strike back with, as he is a CUBS, and I do not think it safe for Stanford to talk with him on onr matters, as it would be just like him to get up in Congress and lie about what 8. said to him. He must have solid rea­ sons or he will go back on you. Yours truly, C. P. HUNTINGTON. INTRIGUING AGAINST BGOTT. NEW, YORK. NOV. 30, 1874.--Friend Colton: Herewith I send copy of bill tbat Tom Scott pro­ poses to put through Congress this winter. Now I wish yon would at once get as many of the as­ sociates together as you can, and then let me know what you want. Scott sent me three copies, fixed as he wants them, and asked me to help pass them through Congress, and lf*I would not do it as he has fixed it, then he asked me to fix it so that I will, or in any way that I will supportJtr^Now do attend to this sconce, and in tab ifte^TOme I will fix lthefcrand sec how near we are together when yours gets here. Scott is prepared to pay, or promlses«to pay, a large amount of money to pass his bill, but I do not think he can pass It, although I think this coming session of Congress will be composed of the hungriest set of men that ever got together, and that the d-- only knows what thev will do. Yonrs truly, c. P. HUNTINGTON. MEN WHO MAY BE "CONVINCED." NEW YOBK, Dec. s, 1874.--Friend Colton: * * I would like to know what is being done with the California Pacific extension bonds. Has any of our people endeavored to do any­ thing with Low and Friable? They are both men that can be convinced. * * * I will see Lut­ trell when he comes over and talk with him, and maybe be and we can work together, but if we can brush him out it would have a good effect, and then we could, or at lea«t would try to, get some better material to work with. * • * Yours truly, c.

Oray. What is up? lave received no letter from C. P. H. for tlirea days. Have you sent passes and money? The money 1 had not sent, for the reason I did not know you wanted it until to-day. The passes have gone as fast as they have come in from Dillon. I have just sent over for the last lot, and if they come will send them with this. I also send $1,000 as requested. I notice a bill passed the House A few days since, called up by Williams, of Michigan. I lorget its title, but it called for reports, etc., etc., from the Paciflo loads. Of course it was something uglv or it would not have passed. * * * Yours truly, C. P. HUNTINGTON. TRYING TO CAVE DOWN THE BANK. NEW YORK, March 19, 1875.--Friend Colton: If you could get some well-written articles pub­ lished in t he S. F. papers showing up the great value of the country traversed by the 8. P., and tho vftKt business that road must do to take Into market the product of the" country; in fact, such articles as would tend to induce people to buy S. P. bonds and lands, I should get the articles republished in the newspapers on this Bide to as great an exteut as I could, which is a very eflective and cheap way of advertising. Will you attend to this? Yours truly, C. P. HUNTINGTON THE WORST MAN HE EVELL HAW. NEW YOBK. April 12, 187S.--Friend Colton: • * The II. P. A P.M. people have talked with me, and it Is best we do not forget the same parties control both, but I paid to them teat I did not have tbe data here, and it I had, was not familiar enough with the details of Operating the road to make or enter into a contract with them, etc. 1 quite agree with you that the rise in freights, and I may say the general business of the Pacific, or I perhaps should say the U. P. road, has becum? HO notorious of late, and I think it is quite liable io hurt ns very much in our settlement with the Government. In fac", there is where I think we are likely to be most harmed. I think I understand our position here and know that to get just what belongs to us may cause us much trouble and perilexity so long as Jay Gould controls a link in the overland line and also a line by sea. Fori think him the worst man to do anything with I ever knew. But I think, while 110 doubt not the worst, but almost I the worst, thing we can do as matters stand to- | day Is to quarrel with him, and I do not pro­ pose to have a quarrel if I can well avoid. You know something ot him and cau tell t he other California as?opiates what you think o( the situation here. It is night and 1 will quit. Yours truly, C. P. HUNTINGTON.

The same thing has been in the other papers, some ot which got $1 per line- for publishing, so 1 do not think they are doing this tor fun or to buy slock.

Ngw YoBK, Nov. 10, 1875.--Friend Colton: Yours of Oct.24,1878, Ifo. ML to before me. Dr. Owin is also here. I think the Doctor can do us some good if he can work under cover, bui if he is to <k;me to the surface as our man I think it would be better that he should not oome, as he is very obnoxious to very many on the Re­ publican side of the House, and then there Is so many things about our business that he does not know, and he has not the time to learn it before Congress comes and g es. It was very unfortunate that he came over in Di­ rectors' car with Mr. Crocker. I received a let­ ter to-day from a party in Massachusetts that said that Oorham and Bargent were very much offended because Owln was, or rather had, come over to look after our int̂ taWMhiigton. I am, however,,disposed to think that Owin can do us some good, but not as our agent, but as an anti-subsidy Democrat and also as a Southern man with much influence In the South in show­ ing the Southern people that the Texas and Pa­ cific It. R. is in no way a Southern Pacific road, but a road, if built by the Government, would prevent the Southern States from having a road to tho Pacific for many years. But Owin must not be known as our maa. • * * Yours, etc., C. P. H. OWIN WORKING UP THE SOUTH. NEW YOBK, NOV, 13, 1875.--Friend Colton: Your dispatch that you had sent §200,000 gold is received. Dr. Owln left for the South yester­ day. I think he can do us considerable good if he sticks for hard money and anti-snbsidy schemes, but if it was understood by the public that he was here in our interest it would no doubt hurt us. When he left I told him he must not write to me, but when he wanted I should know his whereabouts, etc., to write to R. T. Colburn, ot Elizabeth, N. J. * * * Yours truly, c. P. HUNTINGTON. WAKING UP THE SOUTH. NEW YOBK, NOV. 24, 1875.--Friend Colton: • * * Crocker was in the office to-day, and I spoke to him about the S. P. sending me a special power of attorney to act for the S. P. before Congress, and make any proposition to bnild the S. P. to meet railroads on this side, etc. Mr. C. said he would attend to it, but I write this to remind him, as he took no mem­ orandum. I want you to make such a proposi­ tion as I wrote to von for some days since. I am getting the South well waked up on Scott's Southern-Ncrthern project. Yours truly, C. P. HUNTINGTON. GWIN'S LITTLE MISTAKE. NEW YOKK. Dec. M, 1875.--Friend Colton: * * * I have just returned from Washington. The Doctor (Gwin) was unfortunate about the Railroad Committee; that is, there was not a man pnt on the committee that was on his list, and 1 must say I was deceived; and he was often with Kerr, and K. was at his rooms and spe t nearly one evening. The committee is not nec­ essarily a Texas Pacific, but it is a commercial committee, and I have not much f- ar but that they can be convinced that ours is the right bill for the country. If things could have been left as we fixed them last winter there would have been little difficulty in defeating Scott's bill; but their only argument is It is controlled by the Central. That docs not amount to much beyond this: it allows members to vote for Scott's bill for one reason and give the other; that it was to break up a great monopoly, etc. If these damned interviewers would keep out of the way it would be much easier traveling. I send a few clipping*. Yours truly, C. P. HUNTINGTON. FB1ENDLY BRISTOW. NEW YOBS, Dec. 10, 1876.--Friend Colton: * * I think we have nothing to fear this winter from the Texas Paciflo bill. I bad a talk with Bristow, Secretary of the Treasurv. He will be likely to help us fix up our matters with the Government on a fair basis. Yours trulv, C. P. HUNTINGTON. HAROENT'8 NEUTRAL ATTITUDE. NEW YOBK, Deo. 13, 1875.--Friend Colton: • * You write you are drawing up a bill to introduce in Conaress. 1 am glad yon are. I have been to work on one for some days, and Mr. Storrs has it in hand now. When vours comes I will use the best one, or, what Is'more likely though, use the best parts of both. I hope to have it introduced by Thursday, the 23d. Scott is making a terrible effort, promising ev­ erything t > everybody, and I promise nothing that I do not expect we shall fulfill, and the Southerners being so very poor that many of the m will hold to Scott in hopes he may do something for them. Vain hope. Sargent, as yon no doubt have seen, has gone off the Rail­ road Committer, but there is a good man in his place, Eaton ot Connecticut. His going off looks as if he did not care to help us or barm us much. If he did he would have staid on the committee. I sent you to-day benate bills Nos. 6 and 14. I oonld get control of Atlantie and Pacific railroad at very small cost, but do we want it as a gift? Yours truly, C. P. HUNTINGTON, CABB'K SALARY. NEW YOBK, Jam. 14, 1876.--Friend Colton: Yours of Dec. 80 and tue 1st inst., Nos. lao and 1-21, also your telet ram that William B. Carr has had for his servioes $00,000 8. P. bonds; then asking how much more I think his servioes are worth for the future. That is a very difficult question to answer, as I do not know how many years Mr. Carr has been in our employ, or how far in the future wc should want him. In view of the many things we have now before Con­ gress, and also in this sinking-fund which we wish to establish, in which we propose to pnt all the company's lands in Utah and Nevada, it isvi ton very important that his friends in Washing- 1 should be with us, and if tbat could be brought about by paying Carr say $10,000 or 120,000 per year, I think we could afford to do it, but of course not until he had controlled his friends. They could hurt us very much on this land matter, although I would riot propose to put the land in at any more than it is worth, say $2.50 per acre. I would like to have yon get a written proposition from Carr, in which he would agree to control his friends for a fixed sum, then send it to me. Between the business here and in Washing­ ton, I am worked about up to my capacity. Yours truly, C. P. HUNTINGTON, President. THE WAT BILLS ABE KILLED. NEW YOBK, Jan. 4, 1875.--FRIEND COLTON : I have ordered all bills introduced in Congress to be sent to Sanderson that have any bearing on our interest. Please look them over ana give me your views. Many bills, no doubt, like Senate bill No. 50, will be introduced that are bad; and the only way to kill them will be In committee. Yours trulv, C. P. H. THOSE DAMNED INTERVIEWS. FRIEND COLTON: • * * 1 received three letters from Washington this morning. They all tell me that Scott is there in great force, and say he will pass his bill in spite of Hunting­ ton and the Central Pacific. He cannot do it, but it was a great mistake in not letting this matter remain as we fixed it last winter, but these d--d interviewers may kill us yet. • • * Yours truly, c. P. HUNTINGTON. ON TO WASHINGTON. NEW YOBK, Jan. 17, 1875.--Friend Colton: * * * 1 have received several letters and tele­ grams from Washington to-day, all calling me there, as Scott will certainly pass his Texas Pa­ cific bill if I not rome over, and I shall go over to-night, but I think he could not pass his bill if I should help him; but, of course, I cannot know this tor certain, and jnst what effort to make against hiin is what troubles me. It costs money to fix things so that I would know his bill would not pass. I believe with #200.000 I can pass our bill, but I take it that it is not worth that much to us. Yours truly, C. P. HUNTTNGtOH. THE MEN WHO WOBE THE COLLAR. NEW YORK, Jan. 29.--1870.--Friend Colton: * * * Scott is making a terrible effort to pass his bill, and he has many advantages with his railroads running out from Washington in al­ most every direction, on which he gives free passes to every c ne which he thinks can help him ever so little. The Texas Pacific seems to own almost every one in the whole country. I I hear In very many of the large towns there are parties holding stock in this construction com­ pany, and they are all in Washington working for the T. P. bill. Then < n our side we have Sargent, Booth, Jones, Cole, and Oorham in the Senate 10 help u>. * * * Scott is working most ly amongst, the commercial men. He switched Senator Spencer of Alabama and Walker of Virginia this week, but you know they can be switched back with the proper ar­ rangements when thev are wanted; but Bcott is asking for so much that he can promise largely to pay when he wins, and you know I keep on high ground. All the members in the House from California are doing first-rate exoept Piper, and lie is a hog any way you can ax him. I wish vcu would write a letter to Lut­ trell paying that I ray be is doing first-rate and is verv able, etc., and send me a copy. » • • • Yours trulv. C. P. HUNTINGTOK. P.

I have been in Washington most of the time slnoe Congress met, and you say truly when you write that you think I have had*rough fight here this winter. The Railroad committee of the House was set up for Scott, and it baa been a very difficult matter to switch a majority of the committee away from him, but I think it Scott paid for having it published; that he would not have let it gone into the paper if it had been left to him, etc. With this fsend slip to-day » Timet/.

I have reoeived a telegram that I mnstcome to Washington to-night. I shall go, but I dread it, as it is fearful hot. I wish you would have it sent to the Associated Press here that the con­ tract is let to build the S. P. H. R. bridge over the Colorado river. Of course it should be so understood by all there that the bridge is to be built. I have had some talk with Scott ab ut a trade. I said to him we were about closing con­ tract for bridge, etc. Steel rails are coming along better than they did. If I had not or­ dered any rails until I had received letters from California, as per my letters in January to Mr. Crocker, you would have wanted them bad be­ fore you had got any. I shall come to California soon after Congress adjourns. When that will be I don't know. The d may. Yours truly, C. P. HUNTINGTON. UNDER ONE AND OVBB THE OTHER.

I do not have my own way altogether, but I think that we can agree upon some bill that we can all work for. We shall have to pro rate on through business more than I would like. And 1 think there should be a bridge company or­ ganized (that we are not known In) to build over the Colorado river at, say, Arrowsbury or any other point on the river, then build at the point where the railroad crosses, under contract with the railroad company. In this way we could tax the through business on this line if we so de­ sired. * • * Yourstruly, C. P. HUNTINGTON. "HAT NOTHING."

You will notice it allows of a bridge outside ot the railroad corporation at the Colorado river; or, as you will sec, the road from the west goes to the liver and starts from the river to go east; but there must be nothing said about this bridge. If there should be, it will kill it, and it is possible we may need this bridge outs.de the railroad oompany. * • * Yours, etc., C. P. HUNTINOTON. A BLACKMAIL BBIDGE.

As to tbe bridge over the Colorado river, it is a matter that I care nothing about, if you do not. But tn fixing up the 8. P. and T. and P. matter it occurred to me tbat we ahould have to pro rate with the T. and P., as the S. P. would be over mountains and through a country where water and fuel will be expensive, it occurred to me that a bridge with an arbitrary would be well to help us to get what we really ought to have, and protect our interests generally. As I said before, if you don't want it, I don't. * • • Yours truly, C. P. HUNTINGTON. KEEP THE OOUNTBT POSTED. WASHINGTON, D.

I should not have much trouble if matters could have been left ae we fixed them when you were here; but, since some of our people has con­ vinced the public that the 8. P. & being built by the C.

They all say Scott Is making bis greatest -effort on his Texas Pacific (open highway), and most of them think he will pass it. This man Hayes, most people say. is ior it to conciliate the South.

P. HUNTINGTON. NEW YORK, Oct. 8, 1877.--Friend Colton: * * * There has been, I think, more wojk done since C ngress- adjourned for the T. <fr P. than w 8 ever done before for any interest in the whole history of this country; but if we' spend as much money laying rails east of the Colorado as he spends on hia Washington lobby, we shall, in my opinion, sureiy beat him. I shall do all I can here, but I do not feel as well as | wished I did, and somehow dread the coming- fight. Yours truly. C. P. HUNTINGTON. ~ FIXING OOMMITntKS. NEW YORK, Oct so. 1877.--Friend Col to a: * * * The committees aro made up for tha- Forty-flfth Coneress. I think iheRailroad Co3- mlttee is right, but the Committee on Territories I do not like. A different one was prom sed me. Sherrell has just telegraphed me to comet© Washington to-night* I shall not go, as I am not we!. And to alwavs go at Sherrell's &1O would kill m© or any one else in one session of Congress. I think there never were so many strikers in Washington before, an" Iihinkthere will be more bills of an un riendly character offered than ever before. Yours truly, C. P. HUNTINGTON, VEBY WEABT. NEW YOBK. Oc\ 31, 1877.--Friend Colton: * * * I go to Washington to-night.

Yours truly, C. P. HUNTINGTON. WHT MONEY MUST BE USED. V: NEW YOBK, NOV. IS, 1877.--Friend Coltofe Yours of the 2d, No. 21, came to handsome day*, since, and would have been acknowledged bfifc sore but for the reason that I have been very: busy in Washington most of the time, and I re­ turn there Hgain to-night, a? I have a hearing before the Judiciary committee Saturday. You can have no idea how I am annoyed by ttils Washington business, and I must and will give it up after this sess.on. If we are not hurt this* session it will be because we pay much money to prevest it, and you know how hard it is to- get it to pay for such purposes, and I do not see my way clear to get through here and pay the January interest with other bills payable to Jaa. 1, with less than $2,0 0,000, and possibly not for that. » • * 1 am striving very hard to get a> bill in such a shape that we can accept it, as this. Washington business will kill me vet, if I have to continue the fight from year to year, and than, ever year the fight, grows more and more expend slve, and rather than let it oontinuo as it is f rom year to year, as it is, I would rather thev takjh the road and done with it. Yours, etc., c. P. HUNTINGTON. FOB HE IS A SEMATOB. NEW YOBK, NOV. 24, 1877.--Friend Colton: * • • When you write pay Jones no part, <jg| , the (25,000, because then: is an unsettled aW, count of say $0,000. I think you forget his JKJSU. tion. I have paid him the $.5,000. as he told lite he needed it very much. I hold the $7©,ooo S. P; that he was to have in the trude; that is, he is to have the coupons tor ten yeare, then the bonds. Jones can do us much good and says be will. * * * Yours truly, C. P. HtmTEiGTON. PUTTING ON TBE SCREWS. NEW YOIIK.

A SUGGESTION TO BRIBE ARMY OFFICERS. NEW YORK, March 4, ls78.--Friend Colton; * * I think it would be well for us if we haft more parties in California that were interestel, with us; there is tbe Oakland water front, g some of the army otilocrs had an interest in that property I think it would be well for them, for us, and for every one that has the prosperity of' California at heart, for tbe right Improvements, there would benefit San Francisco as well aa Oakland--as well as all California for that mat­ ter. • • * » • • » Yours trulv, C.

NEW YOBK, April 19, 1878.--Friend Colton: * • Thurman's Funding bill ha« not passei tho House yet, but it will, I think, although i am endeavoring to get it to tho Judiciary Coi mitt e. If I can I think we can get it amende but even that is doubtful. There Were son mistakes made by us when the bill was in t Senate; the greatest was in Gould going Washington, but it is too long a story to writj now. I will tell yon when we meet if we havl nothing better to talk of. This Congress is- nothing but an agrarian camp--the worst body of men that ever before got together in this country. • * » Yours as ever, C. P. HUKTINQTON. GOUGING THE GOVERNMENT. Hbw YOBK, April 30, 18'&--Friend Colton: * * * As I understand the Pacific Railroad1 company, we are entitled to pay for carrying the mail at the same rate as we get for Ilk* matter of other parties, which I suppose woulf. be more like express matter than anything elsa, Gould told me yesterday that they charged for express matter more than double wh it that Government was allowing them for carrying tba mail, and that they, tbe U. P., were charging ufh their mail matter every day and at the sama­ ra te that they got for the express matter, and ip would amount to more than li,o» V W per an| t num. Now, the Government has started in tf* rob us, and I think, while we shonld not char them any more than what is right, we ought have the last cent tbat belongs to us, ind very sure to get it if it is a jM>*»ible thing to d< * * Yours truly, C. P. HUNTINGTON. « THE PRICE >>F A CONGRESSMAN. NEW YORK. May 3, 1878. -Friend Colton: * • The T. <& P. folks are working hard on their bill and say they are sure to pass it, but L do not believe it. They offered one member oT Congress $1,000 cash down, $5,900 when the bill; pasaed, and $10,000 of the bonds when they gopi them if he would vote for the bill. 1 have ng doubt this offer jras made, and 1 have no doubt' they would make this offer to enough to carry, their bill if they could get parties to vote, bug no one believes they would get anything mora*' than the first sum if tbe bill should pass. Yours trulv. C. P. HUNTINGTON. HUNTTNGTOH as A LEGISLATOR. NEW YorA June 3, 1*78.--Friend Colton: * * * I put (something?) in the cmnibua bill to kill the T. <fe P., and I think it will do it,.

NEW YORK, June J4, 1878.--Friend Colton; * • * Fremont has been appointed Governor of Arizona 1 shall give him passes, and 1 think it important that you see him on his arrival,, and see ttiat he does t ot 1 i! into the lxam s of bad men. He is verv lricrnl yHo us now. Scott tried hard to beat his being confirmed. I think I will attend to this matter of Fremont's. I hope to be with you early in July. Yours truly* C. P. HUNTINOTON. "A WILD SET OF DEMAGOGUES." NEW YORK, June 20. 1878.--Friend Colton:' * * • 1 think in all the world's history never before wag such a wdd set of demagogues hon­ ored by the name of Congress. We have beei hurt some, but some of the worst bills bav been defeated, but we cannot stand many su " Congresses. Yours truly, C. P. HUNTDiGTON OEK.
