Tt ts possible, thongh hardly probable, that the confirmation of Mr, Matthews as recorder of deeds for the District of Cohunbia may be secured, as Grstred by the President in his message sent to that body yesterday; but tt is not fair, either to ‘that body or to the propir of the District, that this result should he accomplished through a misrep- Tesentation or misunderstanding of the facts in ‘thé case.
