THERE CAN NEVER be too much of Mrs. James Brown Potter, speaking of the lady herself; but oh, merciful heaven! is she eventually to occupy the daily newspaper advertising col- umns and all ? WE CANNOT SUFFICIENTLY admire the dex- terity of Mr. J. L. Sullivan in his casual argu- ments with other gentlemen than ourselves. It is extremely convincing. It has frequently struck us in that way.

Dear old Judge—In consideration of the val- iant services for the Republican party rendered by you during the last campaign, Irise to suggest the name of Mr. W. J.

The vote on the senatorial question invited by the JupGE has some curious features.
