After a delay of almost a year, the Governor has dbeyed the recomendation of the Swamp Land Committee, by removing Jacob Markle from the office of Swamp Land Commissioner. So says the Indianapolis “Journal.” Hon. Judge Mason, of lowa, wliG made himself so popular with the Inventors of the country, while he held the office of Commissioner of Patents, has, we learn, associated himself with Munn & Co., at the “Scientific American” office New York. Congress is yetunorganized. During the last four or five days Sherman has lacked but three votes of an election. The Democrats put up a new candidate for Speaker almost every day. They are evidently trying to ascertain who is their strongest man. Perhaps after they have given each of their members a complementary vote for Speaker, they will permit the election of Sherman by adopting the plurality rule. Sine the above was in type there have been three ballots; Sherman lacking each time five votes of an election.
