Also arrange with Lake Shore and Michigan Southern to take 'Constance' on New York Central and Hudson River Buffalo to Albany, and B. and A. the same Albany to Boston. Indispensable I should reach Boston Wednesday evening. Be sure nothing prevents. Have also wired Canniff, Toucey, and Barnes. Sign, Cheyne." Miss Kinzey nodded, and the secretary went on. "Now then.
Voorhees's answer to me was: "These old employees are devoted to Toucey, my predecessor, and for efficient work I must have loyalty to me." I reversed his order and told him I would begin to discharge, if necessary, the latest appointments, including himself, keeping the older men in the service who had proved their loyalty to the company by the performance of their duties. Mr.
That old patriot, Attorney-General Toucey, burrowed through the musty papers of the Fishers and discovered one more chance for the desolate orphans interest on that original award of $8,873 from date of destruction of the property up to 1832! Result, $110,004.89 for the indigent Fishers.
It was also said that Mr. Jones had declined, and that the position of Postmaster-General had been tendered to W. C. Alexander, of New Jersey. This programme, arranged by Mr. Buchanan before he had left his home, was but slightly changed. Mr. Toucey was made Secretary of the Navy, Aaron V.

Though self-taught, he had no confidence in the graduates of the professional schools. In selecting an assistant, one of them told me that Toucey subjected him to a rigid examination and then said: "What is your railroad career?"
"I began at the bottom," answered the assistant, "and have filled every office on my old road up to division superintendent, which I have held for so many years."
