If be has been induced throngh misinformation to make the unjustifiable aseauit op Governor Wise now attributed to bim, the circnmstance of bis late visit to Washington Probably furpisbes the best explanation of the fact. The assertion that Governor Wise ever intrigued, or even cought by justifiable means to supplant Mr. Hunter in the Senate, is & slanderous falsehood, wilfully, kaow- ingly and maliciously coined by Gor.

R, MT. Hunter; and the Hon. John Let:her can testify directly to the game effect. Any man who wants ipiornation on the aubject cap doubtless obtain. it on pro- ver application from apy or all of these three witnesses. As for the ‘Tammany letter,’ Governor Wise stands firm to every seutence which it contains, Mr, Hunter condemns it. So be it, then. Bot if Mr. Bunter’s trionda are, with bie’ approval, bent oh making tbe questions involved in the Tammany letter the is ue 0: success or defeat to Governor Wise, that issue can be easily tried.

Here was, indeed, a dilemma. Bali dresses had been ordered; Saturday was a festival, when the needie could not be procured for love or money, and there wos left but half a day to perfect this unexpected traneformation, Consequently, not one American lady was presented, and Gen.

The refusal of the Senate to take up the bill for increas- ing the pay of oflicers of the navy is not an indication that that body is adverse to the proposition, but becanse of the the army and navy shows that some change is necessary.

A retolution will be offered next Monday, similar to that which governed the House last Saturday, setting apart the four succeeding Saturdays for the consideration of the private calendar, but allowing five minutes at the opening and closing for objections, and five minutes inter- mediate for explaining and defending bills.
