During our conversation Mr. Hosteller incl

who had, under the most unfavorable clr
cumstauees, kept abreast of the times and
fully up with the ment nd vauced philespbers
and lunlrm ters, and te whom, mere than te
any eun ersen, the ptople of Alteena are In

as a teacher and ha-s no tics of home or kin
dred te call him back, but be feels that he has
one duty of Inveatnl respect yet te perform

mere suggesitlen dropped by Mr. Hosteitor
may Ilnd a reeiislv6 feeling in the hearts of
many ether who have a greater reason te
kludly romsuiber the old profosser. We

The peeple within the limit or the alleged

for tbe legislature and state etlicials te re
peal the prevision restraining the state ma

sound leading members of the Senate as te
the countenance that will be given the move
ment, nnd if It is found net attendant with
tee much peril, It is probable the programme
will be carrled out. It is urged that the
Democrats will be iu control of Congress
for three years at least, nnd that this quasi
state cannot be kept together se long without
a forward movement. I la onlychancels te
