In order to ascertain tho wish of members In this regard Mr. Browning sent notices to each of tho memhers of tho Fifty-sixth congress, asking them to communicate their desires to him In writing on this matter. A fow responded, but the Indications wore, up to n short tlmo ago, that tho desks wero to bn a drug on tho market.

Many of tho members of tho. last congress who fnlled of re-olectlon to tho present havo not beon heard from o tho matter ot desks, and should thoro bo any left after thoso who arc ontttlod to them nro supplied Mr. Drowning bolloves ho will havo no trouble in disposing of them to persons who cither want tho desks for rollcs or who reallzo their prospective future value of such articles.
