Congress kepps hammering away yet about the (Vposites, and the Gineral was jist agoin to give up when we got the news from Albany of the vote of the Legislalur there in favor of the Gineral in taking awav the deposits from the United Irfales liank, and the vote of the New Jarsey Legislatur, and strong news too that some other Legislators w'd do the game. The Gineral was amazingly tick led, and savs he, Major. I reckon your notio'j that the people warnl with us en that pint is a mistake, and now -ays the Gineral, Til hang on and keep the deposits, and Kiddie may whistle lor em" "Well," fays I, ''Gineral we'll see, and as I said ufoie, if the people don't tell their Legis turs another story, an I Congress too, afore we are a month older, then,"' says I, "1 know nothing on 'em."
