But to sum the whole matter up it looks very much as if Gen. W. T. Sherman is the man. It looks a8 if he might be the cholce of the conven- tion.” “How would General Sherman stand before the country?” asked Tnx StaK. “he party would unite on him, and he would carry ali the doubtful states, He would be certain of election.” “Ig theré not some doubt about hisbelng a repub- lcan?” asked THE STAR. “Senator Sherman 1 sald to have expreweed some such doubt.” “No,” sald Mr. Calkins; “his views upon all tm- portanit questions are tn strict accord with the prin ciples of the party.

Mr. Butler sald he hada short time since re- celved a letter froma postinaster,inclosing a printed clreular from a claim agentin Washington, offering Yocollect the amount due the postmaster for 25 per centof the amount.

General for his opluion, and no reply had up tothat time been received! Mr. Butler thought the matter should be looked {oto at once. Ile thought 1t very extraordinary that no answer had been given to the inquiry of the Postmaster General. Mr, Voorhers defended the Postmaster General, and spoke at length of the dilatoriuess of the At- torney General. Mr. Ingalls thought the Postmaster General's de- partinent had for yeurs been trylug Lo evade the execution of the liw relating to the gilaties of these postmasters; and he was in favor of laquiring why there should be this effort at evasion, Mr. Maxey read from the act ttself to show that At provides ‘that payment shall be forwarded by mail to the applicant, and that there was no need of clalm agents’ services, and stated that the atiject of the clause was to render such service unneces- sa) Air. Butler said he had mentioned the incident as to the claim agents, because he wisled to emplia- size the necessity for prompt action of the Senate ‘on the subject. ‘The regolution of Mr. Voorhees was agrevd to, Mouse of Representatives.
