He discussed national issues en- tirely. Many ladies were present, and gave the colonel close attention. Many leading men of Montgomery speak of Breckinridge for United States Senator, and the feeling that he will be a candidate seems to be growing everywhere. It is announced that Mr. Harrison has agreed to speak in New York city for the state ticket. The date of his speech has not yet been decided upon, though it will be delivered within a week. Mr. Harrison will confine himself entirely to a discus- sion of national issues as he does not deem it we to meddle with the situation in the state. Senator David B.

It was not mentioned in last year’s schedule, and why should it be inserted this year to the exclusion of K. street? “It seems to me it is not dealing fair with the people on K street; besides, thy pavement on H street being the same as on 7th street. Again, an appropriation, I am informed, was passed some years since for the improvement of this square, but the money was expended in another portion of the city. Do you not think that the resi- dents and property owners of this square have been very patient and long-suffering, and that justice toward them demands that the street be improved of the next appro- priation?” + Real Estate Transfers, Deeds in fee have been filed as foliows: ida F.

It is generally thought that the tug went down through the springing of a leak, but this is doubted by an old ocean engineer here, who thinks it highly improbable that a boat should come to such a pass while lying off from obstacles, and the water m.
