into , the Honed, our' friends niust strike for
, the reduetion of the ad valorents of 1846 to
specifics,; . they intiat stand for it ; and they Can ,
not fail,init 'by their own defaUlt.
Haveyon observed how popular the caucus
has become with the- men who - now aspire to
"coistrtil 'tld lead UM:Democratic party. I - Only
a few years ago. Davis, Mr. Hunter,' Mr.
Mason, and, others, - treated the caucus as a
guillethie.upon ,which the Interests of the
South 'Were' to be = mutilated; while :Mr.
oenabs;and Mr. Stephens, and Mr. Sonja

,party,yrejoiCed in - making this same institu

Now,. however, when the- Northern wing of

idolatry, because he responds . fo all their de-

dare to 'denounce the attempt to use the pub

very men, who were so-intolerant in forcing
Leconafiton intOnur, party-creed, and so pro
scriptiveln'making a Presidential treachery a,
test ,upon 'independent men, are the excla
'siva managein of this new scheme to stultify
and degrade them. .
- What an opportunity this revenue question
presents, to a statesman of enlarged and con-
SerVative amiacter—one who, like.Sivitobert
Peel, in England, and John C. Calhoun, of
South Carolina; would not hesitate to change
his personal' vietvs, and to come forward to
mike a sacrifice of those views for the corn
** good!, I regard the suggestion that the
expenses of-the Government can be reduced
as a piece of good-natured finesse on the part
efMr. - Stephens, of Ga.,indMr. Hunter, of Va.
They might as readily recommend the bailing
oat of
,the 'Petereac, in order that the river
shoild- be dried up. It was a good sort of
tub to the whale—that is to the supposed cr“.
drafty of the people—but it will not deceive
'anybody;' and I will do the outliers of the ex-,
pedient the justice to say that they have no
more- idea that the expenses of this Go-,
ierinnent can be reduced, than that the Po
tonatte can be sponged out or balled out. How
!Will you reduce it, gentlemen? Can your
,Postniaster General, with his department
rushing more and more into debt every day,
assist you, except by, taxing the people of the
North in a much more odious ratio than that
of any tariff upon imports? Will Mr. Toncey,
of the Navy, with his demands for more ships,
(and do not , say they are unjust)—will
he is 3 able to assist , you? How can Mrs
Cobb' assist 'in reduelhg the expenditures
of the Treasury Department with hie horde
of retainers and his new • demands on the
pnblic: , service? Can Mr. Floyd assist,
with the' - " numerous expenditures of his
department constantly accumulating? or Mr.
Jacob' Thompson, with his vast opera
tions of, the „Interior Department, the In
dian, Land, Agricultural, Patent Office bu
•reaus,-&c., &a. ? or is economy to be facili
tated by 'taking thirty millions from the
Treasury for • the purpose of forcing this
country into war with Spain, without any hope
of accomplishing the object, or by an appro
priation Of two or three hundred millions to
construot the great and indispensable railroad
overland to the Pacific? Why, then, with
these facts before - their eyes, do Mr. Hunter
and Mr: Stephens talk about reducing the ex
penditures of the, Government, and deny such
aid to the languishing Interests of the Middle
States, which they could concede without inter
fering, in the slightest degree, with the interests
of:the
,SOtith Cr the' interests of the consumer
Arer we of Pennsylvania to be called upon to
contend with the tariff question in another
Presidential election, when, by the slightest
concession on the part of the new leaders of
the-Democratic party (the men of yesterday)*
some„of yhrim haVe just escaped fro in the
;Know -Nothing lodges, and some of 'them
from contests against the party
within the past few years—the whole, question
-Would' be permanentlyand forever settled ? I
repeat, this is the time for a statesmanlike de
monstration on this great question, and I re
gret that no man has yet spoken in the Senate
or the Ifouse, in imitation of the example of
Mr. Peel when he turned his back upon his
'own record for the' sake of his cenntay, or
that of Mr. Calhoun when he gave up protec

The Expenditures of the oVerament.
The Democratinanti-tiftrif( Ouse caucus,
recently held at Washingtno; Vie not attended
by ofiehaltioctlia - Demecrittici Members of that
body; and,:in fife4' feW Were. preient except
those who', lweie `strongly attached to free
tradillectrinps.'lts;:opinion,-, therefore, can
scarcely lie considered as possessing-any great
degree of validity as an expression of Demo
cratic sentiment. It edema to have been
apparent, however, to Ate members in atten
dance on that occasion, notwithstanding ,their
hostility to increased duties, that it Would
be extremely - difficult to conduct . the opera
tions of the. Government successfully I for
another year without a• change of ithe
tariff,, unless the national expenditures
were greatly 'reduced; and, in • accord
ance with this idea, five gentlemen—Mes'ars.
Ganaarr, VALLARDIGHAIi, CRAWFORD, Bylt-
NETT, and MAIIIIIIALL of pine's—were ap
pointed 'a committee to report at the adjourn
ed meeting, on Saturday next, a ,comprelien
sive' scheme of retrenchment. , There is but
one month left of the present session—but one
short month—to complete all the necessary
measures of legislation which imperatively
demand the attention of Congress; and we
think it will be exceedingly difficult for these
gentlemen, in that period, to devise a
plan -which-will effect a , sufficient re
duction . in the expenditures of the Go
vernment to render both a change In the
tariff and a resort to farther :loans unnecessa
ry. Such a task is simply impossible ; it is as
difficult as the' duty imposed on Hercules to
clean the Aegean stables in a single day.. We
believe that money has been' unnecessarily
expended by the Federal Government; and
that in 'several of __the departments considera
ble reductions might be effected. But it is,
utterly, vain to expect that this Congress will
be enabled to bring down the expenditures to
the low point of the receipts under the pre
sent tariff; and either it must be changed or
we must go on piling loan upon loin, to swell
the mountain of, the public debt. In shat
department can any great reduction be imme
diately effected ? Is it in the army T. Shall
the troops now quartered in the remote re
gions of the country for the protection of the
citizens from savage foes be recalled, and the
pioneers left to the tenderffiereles of their san
guinary assailants ? Is it in 'the navy, while
measures are being discussed which -at any
moment may,precipitate upon us a foreign
war, against whose ravages our present naval
force would be entirely too weak to protect
our• commerce and our sea-coast? Is it in
the Poet Office Department Here, wo con
fess, the expenditures are large—too large,
it seems to us, for they go far beyond the
sum which, until some thirty years ago, suf
ficed in times of peace to pay the whole cur
rent expenditures of the Government. But
it must be remembered that in this Depart
ment, as well as in all others, most of the
existing expenditures are now being incurred
in pursuance of existing contracts which the,
Government has no right to violate, and the
provisions of which Congress has rio right to
summarily disregard. 'We believe in an
economical administration; but the neces
sary arrangements, which must be made before
the expenditures of the Government can be
.reduced to the lowest standard consistent
with the national safety and welfare, cannot be
effected in the few closing days of this ses
sion. Wisdom and justice alike dictate that
tbo expenditurei which are inevitable, and
which it is, Impossible now for Congress to
check, without inflicting great wrong upon in
dividuals and serious detriment to the public
welfare, should be provided for in a legitimate
manner by increasing the rate of duties. It is
too ranch the custom of the national, State,
find municipal legislators of one session
to throw upon their successors the duty of
imposing taxes to meet expenses, which they
have authorized; and this practice has been
the source of more embarrassment, discredit,
and financial distress to tho different Govern
ments of this Union than' any other cause. It
is unworthy of the dignity of an American
Congress to refuse to provide legitithate means
for the necessary expendithres of the nation.
Retrenchment and economy are great things
in their way, and should be rigidly enforced
as far as possible ; but time and close investi
gation are required to remodel, and curtail the
wide range' of , our expenditures, while the
duty of providing for their payment is actual,
present, and iMperative„ and should not bo
disregarded.
Public Amuseinents.
Theplades of public entertainment continue td
attended. At Walmit-Street Theatre, Mr.
Barry Sullivan continues to excite muoh atten
tion, and draw good houstt te lb t l i m,
rein ng
land since Mr. Booth came across the Atlantic.
At the Aroh, "Our American Cousin" and the
splendid spectacle of "Aladdin" continue very
attractive. Van . Amburgh and his well-trained
menagerie, with the usual performances of the
stock company, nightly fill the National Circus,
Sanford, as usual, has orowde at his Opera
House, and one of his novelties is a liVely bur.:
!inns upon Van Amburgh and his animals. The
wonderful, necromantic' evergreen, Signor Blitz,
has his roil -thronged' soiries at the Assembly
Building. Last, but by no means least, MoDo
ipough's Gaieties, (the old Volks' Theatre, 224
sea street,) is crowded night after night. From
being ohsinre and unknown, this place of amuse
ment has become very popular. The company is
good, the performances varied, and the manage
ment thoroughly respectable.
This evening, at the Academy of Music, a tes
timonial, or farewell benefit, will be given to Mrs.
Bowers, who is about leaving Philadelphia for a
season to fulfil a leading engagement in London.
The performances will consist of "Delicate
Ground," in which Miss Vandenhoff and Mr. Elwin
borne will perform; an Italian cantina by Wile
Anna Whaler ; the omnedy of "The Hunchback,"
with Mrs. Bowers, Miss Viola Oroker, Mr. Swin
borne, httl'llowe, and Mr. Fenno in the oast, and
that pretty conversation-piece, " A Morning Call,"
by Miss Cameron and Mr. Fenno. There is every
prospect of a crowded hoes°, we learn, and we must
say that the public of this city owe some very sub
stantial compliment to Mrs. Bowers, su long, and
so deservedly, their favorite.
The Pico°lomini benefit, and certainly the final
appearance of the lively Sienneso cant atria" hero,
comes off at the Academy of Musio on Thursday
evening. The pretty Signora will take the part
of Norina in " Don Pasquale," and that of Pau
line in the fourth act of " 1 Martiri," by Dont
sotti, a novelty here. How amusingly the Signo
ra will point that eloquent fore-finger of her's!
How she will flit across the stage, the very inoar
nation of restlessness How covertly she will con
ceal her pedals by unaccustomed length of petti
coat ! Florensa, Lorini, and Meggiorotti will also
. por.orm on this benefit night. The price of admis
sion, no seats reserved, is pat at one dollar, at
which rate some three thousand persons *lll at
tend.
We have to remind our readers that "Eve Re
pentant," the beautiful marble statue by the
American sculptor, the late Edward S. Bartholo
mew, oontinues on exhibition at the Academy of
Fine Arts, Chestnut street, for the benefit of the
artist's bereaved mother. , Those who visit it go,
not to be amused, in the ordinary sense of the
word, but to have their feelingd elevated and re
fined by a glimpse of the beautiful. Many of Mr.
Bartholomew's minor predations are also on view,
and confirm our opinion that- Art has sustained a
heavy lose in'the death °flinch a devoted follower.
The Mconnerchor Society's Fancy Dress Ball
comes off at the Academy of Music on next Tues
day evening. It may emphatically bo described
as the ball of the season.
At the National Guards' Hall, this evening,
Mice Kimberly will read the whole of LoogfeHow's
new and lino poem, "The Courtship of Miles
Standish," and also Butler's " Nothing to Wear."
This entertainment, we can assure our readers,
will be found very satisfactory, for Miss Kimberly
is one of our very best readers—dramatic and ex
pressive without being stagy or atravagant.
Miss Susan May.
Mr. Germon, the photographist, who has success
fully perfected a great number of professional por
traits, many of which the public have seen and
admired at the corner of Seventh and Chestnut,
has just executed a beautiful ivorytype of Miss
Susan May, our charming Philadelphia vocalist—
who must not be mistaken for Miss Juliana May,
of Washington. It is not only an admirable
likeness.of a very gifted and lovely young lady,
but executed with wonderful delicacy and effeot.
Miss May gives a cone art at Hasten, on Monday
evening, assisted by Mr. Frazer, the tenor, Made-
Moiselle Anna Wissler (from Paris), and Mr.
Charles Jervis, the pianist.

.ME. JOHN J. VENAI, who has recently taken
the billiard Falcon at the corner of Sixth and Oheatout
streets, has fitted up a beautiful private room in con

person visiting his establishment, to be the right man
in the right place.

Those parties were called here to prove several

privy to the division of the °Eine of coal agent for
the purpose of rewarding certain of his partisans
in Barks county and elsewhere. The value of
this office has been variously estimated, but "there
is no doubt that under the present regime it is
much greater than under former agen
cies. Mr. Buchanan, knowing its value,
undertook to divide it among the prim
pal of his partidans, thus hoping to
several birds with one office ! Gets, after having
agreed to take a part of the loaf, discovered that
it was too small for his expectations, and so be
played patriot and denounced Jelin Jones, who was
the immediate go•between of the President as a
briber" for offering him a " bribe." Since then,
however, Getz has turned about, and become as
warm a defender of Jones as he bad previously
been his assailant, and nowle is the organ of the i'e York, beginning in 1817, just after the second

[Correspondenee of The Press.)
Ilennisenno, February 3.
Mr. Marselis read in plea° "fin act relative
to the batiks of this Commonwealth, and to prevent
frauds by bank offieers," and as its features are
of great interest and import I shall not attempt to
condense, except in it few sections of detail, but
give it in fall :
Sec. 1. ileit enacted, 4'c., That after the pis•
sage of this act.. no bank within this Common. f.
wealth, or any officer thereof, shall make any loan,
or discount, .directly or indirectly, unless sal'
i
loan or discount shall have been allowed or
rented by the board of directors of said bank at' t
regular meeting—a majority of said directors halide
necessary to constitute a quorum.
Sao. 2. Provides • for the proper keeping &kt:
books, on which shall be entered all loans to
discounts ; if not entered they shell not be:re ,
covetable bylaw : Provided,. That if armad.,
__o •
direct bro o the boardlis
make temporary loans, or allow discounts in case
of exigency, they shall have the power to appro.
priate a certain sum to be used by him for that pnr.,
peso : Provided, he make at the next meeting an
accurate report in detail of all loans or discounts
so allowed, which shall be entered on the minutes
of that meeting. If not entered at the next sue•
oeeding meeting (after made or allowed,) they shall
not be recoverable by law.. The Preoldent cannot
exceed the amount appropriated, and the directors
must meet at least once every two treeks.
Sec. 3. No money or funds to be.used for any
plume unless previously appropriated by the
board.
Sec. 4 It shall bathe duty of the president and
cashier to present true reports at each meeting of
all moneys expended since the last meeting, to be
verified by oaths or affirmations.
Sac. 5. If any officer of the bank shall violate
or neglect to comply with the provisions of this
act, he or they shall be deemed guilty of a midemea
nor, and upon conviction shall pay a fine not ex
ceeding $l,OOO. and undergo an Imprisonment for
a period not exceeding one year.
Sec. 6. If any bank officer, clerk, or employee
shall fraudulently appropriate to his own use or
that of any other, any money or other property
belonging to said bank, or left with the same as a
special deposit, he or they upon conviction, shall
be tined in any amount not less than the sum
fraudulently appropriated, and sentenced to an
Imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years;
and it le hereby provi Jed that bank notes, bills of
exchange or credit, promissory notes, or coin, may
be laid in the bill of indictment under the general
designation of money, whether the absolute proper
ty of the bank or merely left as deposit or other
wise.
The same senator reported, with ameedmon
"an act to establish a general backing law."
We are unable examine the bill at present, but
understand that it is founded upon thorough free
banking principles. Some error has mimed in
regard to the number of the :motion or supple.
meat designed to be repealed by Mr. Parker's
bill, alluded to yesterday. The bill was ,pre
sented to him by other parties, who made the mis
take. The object aimed at is the repeal of the
section relating to the opening of roads or streets,
and the assessment of damages upon the property
owners themselves.
The supplement to the cot incorporating the
Germantown Passenger Railway Company came
np in the Senate on second reading, whereupon
Mr. Manelis requested Mr. Randall to allow it to
lie over, which being refused, Mr. M. moved to
postpone for the present. Mr. Myer asoved to
amend by making it as indefinite postponement.
Messrs. Wright and Marsells contended, at length,
against hasty action, in which feeling other Sena
tors expressed a concurrence, oceasionally making
significant digressions towards the " mysteries "
of a MUSENBBt3, which is gradually being convert
ed into a minutia full of meaning. We have now
two wsns—men in earnest and furious strife—the
WAR or RAILS and the WAR or Humus, which lat
ter had another Guam on the "risen Record" in
the Rouse. The hoaus-poons maglo ORANGE ie
worthy of many records.
I am again constrained to say the House did no
thing.
Mr. Prondfoot is located, and has hie title to a
Salon's seat.
General Shaeffer reported from the Committee
on Corporations, House bill, No. 27, "An act to
incorporate the Pennsylvania Warehouse Com
pany." This measure is designed to afford faolli
ties to the farmer and manufacturer, in the use of
their produels during times of deprassion, by
giving them available "certificates of deposit,'?
or " warehouse receipts." It is said to be of
English origin, and has, in England, worked ad
mtrably. Some opposition to it has been mani
fested by a rival company.
The same Senator has presented a bill for the
more effeotual suppression of counterfeiting. Ac
cording to Its provisions, any person whose testi
mony leads to the conviction of a counterfeiter, is
entitled to a warrant from the Auditor General
upon the State Treasurer for $25, and if any plates
or dies are detected in the possession of parties using
the same, and recovered, the person detecting and
recovering is entitled to $lOO. All notes dis
covered to be counterfeits arc to be so stamped by
bankers and brokers. Amnon.
WASUINGTOrt, Yob B.—Senator Toombs intends, early
next week, to bring forward a bankrupt bill, and sus
tain it by a speech. The bill Is similar, in its details,
to the one matured by the Committee on the Jud'clary
at the last session. Although tberh is a pressure of
public business, some of the friends of the measure in
both houses, if It Is premed, think the bill can be
plant, provided its advocates act with seal. It is
c'aimed that the Senate being opposed to Interfering
with the tariff, gives the bill additional strength.

W a sunwrox, Feb. 3.—The Secretary of the Treaau
ryeent to the House to-day a rep'y to the reedutiee
named by that body, calling for the eldest and probable
receipt' from customs public; lan's, and other soarers,
for this and the next fiscal year, and for hie opinion
Whether the laid receipts will be adequate to meet the
public expendituree.
Ile says the receipts for the first quarter of the pre
sent fiscal your, ending September loud, were nearly
twenty five m:Dinne two hundred and thirty. one thou
sand &Mere (825,231,000), at stated in his annual re
port The receipts fir the remaining three-quarters
were estimates at thirty-eight millions five bemired
thousand (I 38.500,000), of 'which eum thirty-seven mil-
Pone ('37,000,000) were estimated to be derived from
the engem:ie. It wee believed that the quarter, endi, g
December last, would yield ten milliens. (8to,040r100;)
the present quarter ending the list of March. fifteen
minters, (816.000 e 00.) and the neat quarter ending the
30th of June, twelve miliione 1812,000 000 )
In reference not only to oust 'me but to the public
lends and other ileums rf revenue, all the information
which has been received at the department PUMP his an
nual repot centime the correctness ot the estimates
of the ratable rec lett for the present and the next
final year He is, therefore, of the epininn tbdt the
result will show that the notuel receipts for the remain
ing quarters of the present and for the next fiscal year
will not vary mateedlly from the estiniatee already sub
mitted to Congress In support of thin opinion be sob.
mite a ootnparisen of the receipts for the same quarters
of the two preceding years
During the fiscal year ending the 30th of June, 7801,
the importations wore very henry, amounting in
dutiable goods, exclusive of those exported, to over
two hundred and ninety-four millions of dollars,
(8291,000 000,) and the replete' from the customs for
that year we - e sixty three millions three hundred nod
forty-eight thousand dollars (80 7 ,348 000.) In the excel
year ending June.lllsB, the Iteportittrons were much
reduced, amounting , in dutiable goods, exetusive of
these imported, to two hundred and two millions,
(5200 COO 000 ) and the receipts from the customs for
that year *me forty-two millions end forty-elx thou
sand dollars (842 040 ) To realise his estimate;
the lounortatlon of dcitiabie gothic for the bream,' fecal
year remit each two hundred end fifty millions , Man -
000.000.) betides those exported, and for the next fiscal
year the sum of two hundred and eighty millione,
($2BO 000 000.) .
Compering the foregoing sit-intent of reoeirds. and
looking to &favorable and healthy reaotiCn In business,
he Mould regard it as unsafe and unwise to calculate
upon a larger importation than the present eetimatee
contemplate; and entertaining these opinione, he is
compelled to say that the receipts will not be &Impede
to the, neceßaity of public exigencies, unless the expen
;Mn nu should be teduced below the amount estimated
for. He hes seen no Indications that would Induce the
opinion that such a remelt lan be reasonably anti
cipated. On the contrary, should the bills which
have been passed by either the one of the other
branch of Congress be finally pasded by, both, and
become laws, the o:dee-edge:es would be very largely
and permanently increased. It is estimated that
the pension bill alone, which hid pdseed the
House, would add several milifone to the annual eXpen•
eel of the ~(loyernment,Blll:l even a larger amount for
the next 80611 year Other bills, which have paesed
either the Senate or tge; EOIMIOj . SO9Id. large roma
enre, swell the amount of expenditures. These are
centirgencles towards which the attention of Congiels
;amulet be directed, in considering the probable receipts
dud elpeodltures at the Government. Either the ex
penditures Mild be pritteed to the estimated receipts or
some other means of revenue be provided.. If the first
remedy can to effected, it is certainly the moat de
sirable.
He het already submitted to Congress the plane for
Codifying the revenue bra and for the reorganisation
or the collection districts, which, if sanctioned and'
passed into have, would greatly facilitate the operations
of the Treasury Department, and reduce largely the ex

"be made.

In the estimates of receipts and expenditures, the per
