SPEECH OF MB. PERRY.
Ml*. DERRY (Deni.), of New* Jersey, spot© m opposi
tion to the extreme anti-slavery measures which have
been proposed. This was a time for the exhibition of
patriotism and the defence ot the Union. He was at a
loss to see how it was necessary to set '.he slaves free now
as an ally in the suppression of the rebellion. This was
not a war for <J the South, but £>.- th©
restoration of the authority of the Uon-rbiuHie. Behind
the dark clouds of rebellion ihe sky of the Union wa*
clear and bright, and the stars of all the Stums were
sparkling in all their beauty; and soon it would he that

Mr. DAVIS (Rep.), of Penusylvauia, reviewed the

of labor; and, In the courffc of his remarks, said never
again would slavery become ihe controlling power of the
Government. Let it be known that, while we have here
tofore been true to the compromises of tbe Constitution,
we bow feel ourselves absolved therefrom by the acts of
th? armed slaveholders.
Mr. BIDDLE (Dem.), of Pennsylvania, said, in tho
course of his speech, that the slave could not be made a
soldier. Place arms in lis hands, and ho is rendered an
assassin. The employment of the blacks against those
in hostility to our Government would drive the Union
men ot the South into tho arnu of oup 6b©m>-. H©
trusted to soldiers* valor ana tour leaders* skill, and not
to the aid of armed blacks. The latter wou-u Jeud to a
protracted, devastating war, and be a’-hoi rent to the
sentiment of the white race.
DEPENCE OF MR. CUMMINGS.
Uh KELLEY (Rep-), of Pennsylvania, rose io ftiktUe
Bouse to repair, as iar as it could, a wrong done to a
friend and constituent of his—a gentleman of character
and int* grity—one who, from early life to his present agp,
has managed a large public business—a leading uevvs
paffr—and has secured the public lespeut by his integrity,
and who bus literally fulfilled all bin engagements to hjs
fellow men. Ho asked Thai a statement from Col. Alex
ander Humming*, which he hod cone him the honor to
address to him, be read. In reply to a certuin part of the
Committee on Government Contracts.
Mr. WICKLIFFE (Union), of Kentucky, referred to
the report, quoting certain articles that had been pur
chased by Mr Cummin??, i-uch as codfish, cheese, aie,
straw hnta. tto. find inquired ahfctJw-H Mh. Kelley ln
it-mfrd to dfcfei.d this conduct of Air. Oumiil lig;.
Mr KELLEY replied that Mr- Cuimniu?s bad been
charged by tbe committee with having 81.40,000, for
which vouchers had not been furnished, and as this
statement had been given to the press and commented
upon by the committee, it was tnu fair that Mr. Cum
mings should be heard in his o«vn viud-catjon,
[Mr. Cummings’ letter to Mr. Kelley was then real, as
follows t]
Box. William D. Kellet, Member of Congress,
Fourth District, Pa :
A. severe and protracted illness, from which I have as
yet only partially recovered, has prevented me. until
now, from responding to, or to a&, way noticing, the ex
traordinary assault upon nr char' cter. contained in the
report of what is known ns the “ Van Wyci Committee,”
made to the Moose of Representatives on the 17th of De
cember last. I embrace the earliest moments of re
turning Leeltb to meet and refute the unfounded allega
tion B contained in that report-
I address you because I am your constituent—long and
well known to you—and need no tartber commendation.
I ask you. therefore, upou the first fitting occasion, when
this subject may be before toe House, to introduce this
letter, that it may have the same pub icity with the
slanders that have been uttered agaiast me.
Towards the middle of Drcvmber, not 1 mg after Con
gress had convened, hearing, great y to my surprise,
through a friend, that the report of the committee about
to be made contained stat-nrents injuriously affecting
my reputation, 1 came to 'Washington from a sick bed,
against tiie earnest protestor tuy physician, with the
view oi teeing the members of the committee, to atoer
tftini if tumult. vtlitit « m ili« Question, if an;,in their
minds in relition to my 1 . u in person
upon a majority of the member* o*’ ihn coai'imie.-, al
though scarcely able to leave The hotel ; and. while I ob
tained eoinformation, yet Tinferred, troiucertain circatn
ataucep, that they were ab«»ut to ajl*Ke some dincrepau
cie- In legation to my arcmintr. I know, if the accounts
were all brfnrn thtm, that thorp uunlil be no complaint
alleged agtiibßt me, and earnestly requested the delay of
tte report for a single nay, string to them that X w ;uld
despatch, and subsequently that I han snut a special
messenger, to New York for Mr. flliitohtord who hal ia
his possession facts ai d voucher* winch -Avu-d relieve me
from the slightest suspicion in relation to tnr trttUHilCtiQnS
which have received the animadversion of the committee,
and Which I understood they w«re about tn criticisn.
Though refusing, by a vote of the majority of those
present, to grant my request on thn-e urgent, specific,
and manifestly just grounds, and irutructinc their chair
mau to make the report forth fti.b, it happened, by some
Accident, lb at the report was delated for the tongth *f
time I desired, during which interval Air. Blatchford
arrived in Washington, for the express purpose of ap
pearing before the committee. I immediately and per
sonally couiu-unieated the fact of Mr Blatchford’s pre
sence to tbe committee.
I was advised by a physician in WHshtofctoftj Wtl? Wfts
In constant atteudance upou mu —•mid warur-d by my
own knowitdge of my condition—that, if 1 wyull secure
or regain my health, I must rpeedily return home. I
left Washington, not entertaining a doubt that Air.
Blatclifi rd, who remained there, w. uln be called upon
bj the con miltee to furnish tbe important iulbrrnatiju I
hod Bjoutid them was in Ills poesesduu, uud which would
have s wed me from the least suspicion of wrong The
public will be surprised, I have been, to learn that
Mr. Blatchfoid was not allowed to appear before the
committee until after the report , with all its reckless
errors and calumnious misstatement*, was launched npoa
the House and the country. 3 submit to you whether
there ever yybb conduct more unjustifiable.
BJy Hints*—a severe attack of gastric feve-—proved of
long continuance, and for a considerable portio i of the
period of doubtful result, with utter inabilty a>td entire
prohibition to even think o! business of any kind what
evir. During all this time, unconsciously to myself,
the mid hpienentatious ot the committee have been poi
soniiig thu public mind. 1. imvu um i;uut- recently beeg
able to IvwTc my room, and I have w 'thin iu.- uu mrco p
dajs, for the firat time, even wen a copy of the report.
It is only since my arrival iu Washington that X have
learned of the extent of its injurious character. You
ztmy judge, if you can, how I have been as:ounded at its
•contents
The extraordinary and unprecedented course of the
CouimiUte eterned to flow from a desire whimi, wronged
as 1 have been, I will not impute to them, to produce an
immense eensAtiou with partial ULd unproven facts; and
that course Ims given rise to an impression which the
committee owe it to themselves and the country promptly
to dispel, that they deliberately and of purpose excluded
tb£ toktiluony of 086 of IL& hio,t j»r**nib,riit citizens of
New York. lest it should in any way conflict with the
'supposed developments with which they appeared to be
eager to startle Congres? and tli*- people.
For myself, the best replj. ami the most comprehen
sive and conclusive defence, will be contained in a sim
ple, fr.rief, and impartial recital of ~|t tne transactions
referred!*) by the comm ties. So ■ &|ld has been th*
current of events and so fleeting is memory, that it is
necessary, by way of premise, to recall the exact condi
tion r f the country at the pe iod referred to. Rebellion
had not only engulpbed all south of the Po omac, but the
insuiTectionary spirit hud spread over Maryland, Htdzed
its metropolis, and cut off uU communication between
thu capital ol tlia mUbu iiud the .oyal portion of tUv jreo
ple. The terror wud the panic mr imuuus uie rand for the
fortnight succeeding the tragedy iu Baltimore on the 19th
of A pril, were appalling, and wuil nigh par tlyzhig to the
courage and energies of all. Tbe national authorities at
Washington were astonished and perplexed, and scarcely
knew which way to turn for relief. They had found the
officers ol the regular am y and navy darting them by
scores, and enlisting under tv traitor eusigu; and they
knew not whom to trust, even aiming those that retained
an outward allegiance to thrj **old fla*’ —many of whom,
by subsequent desertion, have justified the suspicions
then uutertaiued of heir loyalty. In this perilous
emergency the corporation oF the city
"iArh, pPAhipUd hjr impuitjci ot xhe pnpnUr mind,
came forward with au appr >priatmn of £2,001) 000 f.»r the
national defence; and tbe authorities at vVusUiuaton, so
Boon a* they could in any way couvay a communication
to New York, call to (heir aid persons intimately known
to them, in whose judgment and integrity they had con
fidence. and of whose patriotic loyalty th*ro wan nqfc a
tinge of doubt.. In pursuance of this design, muiuuroa
were adopted by the Treasury and .War Departments,
(and the Navy also,) as set forth in the following com
munications:

DbAb Sib ; You will receive another letter from me

We shall need supplies to a very large amount sent
here from New York since tbe interruption to purchases

A. CUMMINGS.
Department of W t ar, April 23,1861.
In consideration of the extraordinary emergencies
which demand immediate and decisive measures for tbe
preservation of the national capital ;uid tho defence of
the nnliODiil 1 hereby authorize Edwin D.
Morgan* Governor of tho Scale of New York, and Alex
ander Cummings, now in the city of New York, to make all
necessary arrangements for tho transportation of troops
and munitions of war in nitl and assistance of the officers
of the amiy of the United States until communication by
mails and telegraph is completely re-established between
tho cities of Washington and New York. Either of them,
in case of inability to consult with tho other, may exer
cise the authority hereby given.
SIMON CAMERON,
Secrecy \Yur,
Under the authority thus conferred, purchases of
clothing, anne, and other supplies were made by mo,
and ships were chartered to carry troops, &c, to the
gross amount of $221,734.40, for winch I have filid in
the Treasury Department vouchers in detail—a full
flUtOßlfillt Of lilt Oi whicli WUS futuikhcd to the committee
in Few York, in September lost. And I told them at
the same time that the remainder of tho vouchers ware
iu the hands of Mr. Blatchford, for other pnrcUu-.es
made by my authority, which would complete the whole
account. The balance iu my hands, 63. was sub
tiuuvitUy deimciUd with Bln Cisco* the Assistant Tro.u
surer Ht New Yoik, Tor which I have his certificate;
a copy of which is hied in tho Treasury Depaittnout.
The vouchers and certificates together amount to
$224»9i8.G1. The vouchers in the hands of Mr. B latch
tord. which he had with him, when here, in December,
and ready to exhibit to the committee, n<i 1 assured tbeaij
with a bahtuce in his hnsuia al übout iBB,OOO since depo
sited with the United States Treasurer in New York—
amount to the sum of $165,071.90 —making, altogether,
three baud red n» il ninety thousand dollars, whlcli was
the total amouut drawn from that portion ,of the two
millions placed in the hands of Messrs I>ix, Blatchford}
ninl tipdyhc, pni-jeot to. tit© draft of Governor Morgan
and iu) stlf, for tho purposes indicated iu the above
letters.
Tho vouchers in the hands of Mr. Blatchford, which I
lmvc before stated the committee so unreasonable and
nitlilesriy refused oven to look At, oontuinad not only tha
nutlioriiy of tho mune of . Mr. Blatchford himself, but
most cf them are endorsed by the signatures of Moses 11.
Grimiel!, Captain Charles 11. Marshall, and Samuel
Sloan, &H alike eminent for their integrity and intelligent
dev. tiouto the jufeitttfttf tho country, Many of the
axticice whose purchase is thus eudorsed by those
vouchers, were bought under the direction of General
Wool and General Dix; and not a email portion were
directly purchased by General Wadsworth in person, for
the purpose of freighting tho steamer Kill-von-Kull,
winch l»e sent forward wail* iheee stores for tho reHutf of
the Government; all of which tbe committee would have
Been if they had yielded to my importunity and called
Mr. Blatchford, and thus the whole question of tho
rightful expenditure of all the money would have been
disposed of.
It Jo ilnis made evident, by autbenU* and well-attested
vouchers, that the money drawn from tbe two-million
fund was honorably expended for what was thought to be,
and really was, tbe necessity of the Government.
It is made equally evident that tbe statement
of the report—still more plainly and offensively
r£fe£*ied In Congressional speeches by members
of the committee—that a large balanco of sl4o,offo was
retained in my possession, is destitute of the slightest
semblance or shadow of truth, —the only ground for
which, at any time, sceiuß to have been a singular mis
apprehension or an ingenious and wilful alteration of the
lALjaihgO of my note to the OOWbiltto©, and appended Co
my testimony. The note, as written to the committee,
and which is now in their possession, is literally and
legibly as follows. Mark the words:
** There retained—under authority of the Secretary of
the Treasury—by Messrs. Dix, Blatchford, and Opdyke,
one hundred and forty ihorte-uud dollars, besides wtiat I
have staled in my testimony, which is accounted for by
the vouchers.”
The original draft of the note, still in my possession, is
as follows:
u fiber© was retained—under authority of the Secre
tary of the Treasury—by Messrs. Dix, Blatchford, aud
Updybe, one hundred and forty thousand dollars besides
what I have stated iu my testimony, which is accounted
for by the vouchers.”
In copying it very hastily for the committee, I seem to
have ond'-ied tho word ‘Mvas;” but tho least inteljifiept
render would in nu iogtiuit have supplied It, and indeed
without it the meaning is entirely plain.
The committee, in their report, printed it as follows,
and founded upon their version an argument that I had
posstsbiou of $140,010. Their whole line of argument
and injurious deductions is thus based upon an alterg^g
of iny language :
U I have letained, under authority of the Secretary of
the Treasury, by Messrs. Dix, Blatchford, & Opdyke,
one hundred and forty thousand dollars, besides what L
have stated in my testimony, uliich is accounted lor by
the vouchers.”
It will fhviri be seen ibai, in changing the word “there”
to the words * l l Lave.” the report nos only reducer) the
language of the note to an absurdity, hut, so far as it left
any meaning in it at all, it changeu the depository of tho
$140,000 from Messrs. Dix, Blatchford, and Opdyke (by
whom it was held by proper authority) to myself, wii9>
according io ihtslr insiimsitiom«, retained it without
vouchers of any character whatever.
But aside from, and independently of, this critical ex
position of tbe alteration of my language by the ant lor
of the report, from which 1 hav«* been suffering. I hare
liuppily at command official papers Sllftftillingi in whole
and iu detail, my statement on this point— all of which
Mr. Blatchford would have exhibited to the committee if
be bad been allowed to appear before them.
The original deposit of the $2,000,000 in New York, by
Secretary Chase, (made upon the official requisition of
tbe S-ccretnry of War aud iSecrttary of the Navy, for
tfAcb.) And the authorization, by Secretary
Cameron, to use that portion appropriated to the War
Department, were procedures growing out of the impe
rious necessity of the hour, aud justified by this necessity,
as at least partially conceded by the committee in their
report. When the exigency was removed, by the re-es
tat-Jistment of communication between tho loyal States
Atirt the capita), the deposit of the money was very pro
prily witluhawn by Secretary Chase, as will be seen by
following letter:
Treasury Department, 6th May, 1861.
Gbxtlemes*. Regular communications with Now York
having been established, although not as frequent nor as
r&pid as heretofore, thus removing tne absolute necessity
which existed on the 24th April last for special dis
bUl Sing officers in the city of New York, aud referring
to my letter of instructions of that date, I request that
sntli sum as may be remaining iu your hands of the
anotu t of $2,100,000 advauced to-you on that date, to
meet legal and proper demands upon the Treasury,, may
bo deposited with the Assistant Treasurer at New York,
to the credit cf the Treasurer of the United States ; and
thAfc jou will, aa em 1 y us practicable, render your ac
count, with the vouchers, to this Department, that tho
same may be promptly settled.
There is no <-onbt that your report, when received,
will be entirely satisfactory, and that your proceedings
will be found to imvo been In accordance with the high
estimation entertained of yon by this Department.
You will please consider this as a revocation of tho
authority given in my letter of tbe 24th ult, and accept
tho thanks of this Department for your patriotic services.
I am, very respectfully, S. P. OH *SE,
Secretary of the Treasury.
Messrs. Dix, BbATCHfOftDi atld OffiYKß, New York.
To which Messrs. Dix, Blatchford, and Opdyke, re
plied, stating that there were outstanding obligations
amounting to about $140,000, which amount they had
rt tamed, subject to the approval of the Secretary of the
Treamry.
Id rejoinder, these gentlemen received Die following
Ifcjcgrupln© counuuoication »
« Washington,. May YUh.
“ Your reservation of fund to meet requisition of
War Department, through Mr. Cummings, approved.
«S. P. CH \SE,
, “ Secretary of the Treasury.”
Il was to this sum, and to the action in relation to it,
that I referred in my note, bo strangely gapblsd &nd mis-
UH-d. I referred to it because it was in adahion to what
had been at first expended, as I discovered on examining
my papers, having endeavored in vain io induce the
committee to allow me to f urnish them the vouchers
and papers, instead of relying on my recollection; and
I wrote tho note that there might not be the appt-arance
of AU Biifc the sot© stated, in rotation to it*
that this sum “is accounted for by the vouchers n
which seuned to rei.dcr it impossible for any misappre
hension ; and I think now that no fair mind could have
misapprehended it, and certainly no horn st mind would
have Altered it.
AM tiiese facts, so perspicuous) so undeniable, and so
conclusive, as to the rightful retention and appropriation
of «h*j 5r14i.,000-—with the knowledge and sanction of the
authorities ot' the Government—could have been had by
the con miit- eif they had been willing even to hear the
testimony of Mr. Blatchford, who had all the papers
jiicessary to a full understanding of the case, aa previous
ly Ataiwl. f r
It should be remembered that during all my interviews
with the members of the committee, I bad not the remo
test id*a of what they were about to complain of. I was
never once asked to explain a syllable about the SHO.OOff,
nor was it hinted to me that that was a question in tneir
Hiii'dtr, and, indeed) I had been atsnrod that they had no
serious complaint to make against me.
The simple statement of these facts convicts the com
mittee of such gross and rockless injustice, that I do not
feel called upon to stamp ii or characterize it with the de
served and appropriate epithets.
It it bo alleged that this Alteration of which I com
plain was » mistake, unwittingly and not wilfully made,,
then, I ask, why did not the committee recall me, to as- !
certain the meaning of the note which their alteration
had reduced to nonsense; or, worse still, why did they j
refuse so pertinaciously to bear Mr. Blatchford, whoso
statement I assured them would make everything per
fectly plain?
! Is it 100 much to thAt, however the alteration
may have been made originally, the committee, by their
bubf-equent conduct toward me, and by the argument of
the report, made it wilfully their own ?
In further evidenre that this authority to act in New
York was regarded as only temporary, and resulting
frrma peculiar exigency, the following letter was ad
drtfecd by Sftrstw t C«tntron to (ioTcinor Morgan and
my&elfat the same time with the letter of Secretary
Ootiee withdrawing tbe deposit:

Washington, May 7. 1861.
Gentlemen : The extraordinary emergency, which
demanded Immediate and decisive measures for 14? pr?“

Gov. E. D. Morgan and Alexander Cummings, Esq.,
New York City.
I have liras, by a plain statement offsets, accompa
nfrtl by official documents from tha Treasury and War
Departments, disposed of the principal calumny of the
report. Iu looking back over the history of the last few
months, it seems really marvellous that any portion of
the public could have believed so preposterous a'story,
which lias been so industriously circulated through the
agency of this report, as that the inrgo sum of $140,000
Ol 111© public MMIAy WdUld kdVu been allowed by the vi
gilant and honest head of the Treasury Department, to
remain lu any bauds unaccounted for.
1 nave this satisfactory reflection: that, notwithstand
ing the criticisms of the committee about the looseness of
these transactions, and the accounts pertaining to them,
tiny never could lave been takeu upForsettlenent with
nulfl picket vindication of my character iu relation to
the whole affair My note, as altered, might have re
xnained unexplained, but nothing else. Thu facts and
figures are in proper order, and would speak for them
selves in all time, with or without my presence, and I so
nsamed my friend, to whom T have alladod in the firat
part or this letter, who was alarmed for my sake, by the
rumor timt eetrmcd to have leaked out of the ceuimittoe.
I might close here, but for the labored attempt of tho
committee, while admitting, in language, the integrity of
my purpose, yet attempting, by insinuation, to fix a
stigma upon mo for some of the minor acts connected
with the execution of my trust. Of these, the one most
harped upon is the purchase of linen pautalocmn and
strAw huts for the troqps, It ]» nut alleged that a high
price was paid for these artieloA; on tbe contrary, it
is well known that they were purchased at a very
low rate—being about ninety conta a pair for the
psntHlooiis, and sixteen cents a piece for the huts.
The most, therefore, rhat can bo charged in this
affair, and others of a similar character, is An error
of judgment. On that point I am i»ot sensithe: bq\ I
liiAP bfc £3toUii6d for bill! believing thut.lnrgu bmlies-of
niSi), suddenly transferred from the northerly cliuies of
Maine and Michigan, where tho chill of winter was still
upou them, to a latitude where the hrat was ranging
from seventy-five to eighty degrees, would find great re
lief and comfort, and, indeed, an exemption from the
danger rf sudden over!eating and miustcoke, many canes
of which actUAllyoccured,by thee -awumhto clothing thus
provided. These men were not soldiers, in the t> clinical
sense of that term, long enured to woollen uniforms, hut

jn Nen York, ami iu 'Washington also, at that tim*. it

wsiu similar climate they would provide lor ihewiul-ro s.
They were fully tbe equals of, living In like manner
with, the members of this committee, adapting their
clothing to the change of the Heasouß—a fact which
iKtii 8 to have been utterly forgotten by the
committee. The eitgeruees with which the arti
cles in question were taught by tho troops—who
would have been glad to purchase them at the price
they were procured by the Government—may be quoted
as some pi oof of tbe wleilom of (ho purchase. They
Vst-r* no tnoio outside of th© army regulation than tho
purchase of winter gloves for tho soldiers on picket duty.
The committ* o, it is fair to presume, from their action on
this question, would let the soldiers’ fingers freeze fast to
their musket locks, rather than have a sound discretion
ext rcifctd in such an emergency, to much fur that largo
point, which OCfcUbiey k AoiieiJerabl© portion of th© re
povt, and whose vaat importance has called forth speeches
in both Houses of Congress!
With regard to the purchase or ale, about which so
much it said, the Hume character of reply, to some ex
tent ut nmy by nmilo. No ono will deny that it
mf»i» have been nmflo useful both in the hoapitaln aud
outof tli«m *, aud I doubt not itwas used advantageously.
But if it were not, it is surely no fault of mine.
The accusations of the report <lo not stop with those
matters with which I was connected, but there seomi to
ha A to mo into others with which i hiui no
connection whatever. Of these, thuuiostnujustifiablois
the insinuation that I had fcyiug connection with the

Without going further into detail upon the various
matteTß imhmcedm the report of the committee, I con
tent myeelf with tbe declaration that tho money expend
ed by myself and thoso with whom I was associated was
dirtwM ii ocnfcomicftUv aud wisely; and that in llio wholo
vast outlay that has atteodril this war, in no iustauce has
the Government mere truly or more fully got its money’s
worth, ortho di*burring agents more strictly and consci
entiously discharged tlieir onerous duties. And it is pro
{•er to add that very little waa clous tQWftrti the Sftftity Of
the <rcvernßient, Iu its great emergency, except through
this provision of its officers atovo alluded to, aud tho ac
tion of the city of New York* through the Union Defence
Committee
An an evidence, and in illustration, of the care used
JU ihe eXlSetidltii*-© of tho funds provided for this emer
gency, I null properly cite one instance out of mapy
cases that occurred: During the period alluded to, tUo
Government decided. I think in Cabiuet meeting, to pur
chase the stcamcr Vti’/aniic then in tho public service,
under a chßrtMmnde by regular offleorsof tiio army; and
1 was authorized, and, indeed, almost instructed by tele
graphiedeapateb, to purchase her for the sum cf $350,000
—tho price named in her charter—at which tlie Govern
ment had a right to purchase. I received the despatch late
in tbe evening of Saturday, the 4th of May. siatiug that her
chaner would oxpira the next day, which was Sunday. It
had evidently hem represented to tho Government by
parties who were in Washington, that it was important
D at th** privilege to purchase provided for in the charter
should lie taken advantage of. After obtaining what
iufvniiulicn I could, I decided not to make the purchase,
nfid so revcivtoff to tho War Department, mf&wnlh* ih&
Secretary that tho vcsssl had not long before beon of
fered at a much lower price, and probably would be
again so offered if not bought now. I understand she
hns subsequently been offered to tho Government for
about $250,000, milking an actual saving, if it is still
thought wibe to purchase her* of a sum equal to one*
fourth of all tho money I expended during the dark and
perilous period that followed the memorable 19th of
April.
I have now d©ne. I have spoken in self-defence. I
have gjxkcD plainly, as i‘b my right, and the right of
©very man unjustly assailed. I have not harshly cha
racterized the report, hut I have shown, by official and
irrefragable proof, Iho'groundlessness of its charges and
insinuations as aflicting the transactions with which I
was connected. I do not conbt, indeed I have the ut
most confidence in, the personal bouosty and candor of
CPrtflin members Of the Committee ; and I feel aseared
that, upon a review of all the facts in the case, they will
be alibe anxious to vindicate me from the aspersions
which they have unwittingly assisted in hfaping upon
me, and to relieve themselves of the injustice which, per
haps through misapprehension and haste, they have, in
tI)U face Af thO C&ULtF?, CofittmUted ttgaJuata ©itixen, of
whom they can justly allege no wrong. I have eiven a
complete and impartial, though necessarily brief state
ment of this whole transaction, in reply to the report of
the committee, by which I have been made to suffer so
ui justly. I have mode it without resentful impulses, for
Which, if I llfid h££U disPA£sd to ii)diilg© them, there ia
ampin scope. But I prefer to make no retorts, and have
only to fay, in conclusion, Fiat justilia.

Protest of Mr. Adams iu tlie Case of the
The case of the privntoor Nashville is noyy dig
posed of, so far as England is concerned, by her
departure from Southampton. But it is not gene
rally known that our minister at Loadon, Hon.
Charles Francis Adams, addressed a very earnest
pretest to the British Government, when the pri
vateer first entered port. The document has just
been published, and the following extract, as show
ing its spirit, is worthy of general perusal:
“ The act of wilfully burnipg a puyftte merchant
ship wbito pursuing its way quietly to its destina
tion in its own country seems in itself little to har
monize with the general sentiment among civilized
and commercial nations, even when it is committed
under the authority of a recognized belligerent;
but when voluntarily undertake by individuals
not rested wiih the powers generally acknowledged
to be necessary to justify aggressive warfare, it ap
proximates too closely within the definition of piracy
to receive the smallest countenance from any Chris
tian people. The undersigned cannot permit him
self to doubt that her Majesty’s Government, which
has voluntarily renounced the ittUhorUy io wage
private war at sea, would not foil to visit with its
utmost indignation any attempt to seek shelter un
der its jurisdiction from tbe consequences of in
dulging a purely partisan malice in unauthorized
acts of violence on the ocean.
“ The purpose of the undersigned in presenting
these papers to the consideration of Lord Kussell is
to request that her Majesty’s Government will
cause an inquiry to he made into the circumstances
attending this extraordinary proceeding, and will
adopt such measures as the case, upon inveStiga
tH’B, may seem to demand . This inquiry may be
solicited to the ascertainment of two classes of facts.
The first, aa to the authority possessed by this vessel
to commit so aggressive an act on tbe citizens of a
friendly Power, and then to claim a refuge and re.
cognition in the harbors of Great Britain. Xh?
second, In ease the nature of that authority b©
deemed sufficient, at least in the view of her
Majesty’s Government, as to tho purposes for
which the ship is alleged to havo come across the
ocean, to wit. r the making more effective prepara
tions jn tjse port' of Great Britain for carrying on
& war against the people of fi friendly natron. Iu
tbe former ease, the question will arise whether
the vessel be or be not subject to due process of law
as a common disturber of the peace of the world.
In the second, whether a recognized belligerent
©ball or shall sot be permitted -with impunity to
violate tbe terms of her Majesty’s p?66Umatiou
forbidding tbe fitting out, within tbe ports of Great
Britain, of any armament intended to be used
against a n&tioD with which she is at peace.
**Tbe undersigned is compelled, with great re
luctance, to call the attention of Lord Russell to
the ffiot that, for ft period of Ifiatay iuooUis, large
steamers have been built, equipped, and despatched
from her Majesty’s ports, by persons ill-disposed to
tbe Government of the United States, with the in
tent. to supply those who are in arms to overthrow
it with further materials to attain their object,”

The Gironde, of Bordeaux, stares that a respectable
tradesman of that city was cheated last week by tbe fol
lowing trick: He hod set a looking-glass outside tho
shop door fer sale, when a fasbiouaoly-dressed man
tfopptd to look at biuigeirin it. Aa he stood thus oc
cupied, with lil« walking-stick under his arm, a person
pssßing behind came in contact with the stick, and drove
it with such violence against the glahs as to shiver it to
atoms. Thu apparently innocent cause of this accident
immrdiately offered to pay tho value of the glass, which
was 60fr., and banded the tradesman ft l,000(r. note.

These $1»000 certificates will necessarily become part
of tlie currency of the country, and will bo freely mod*
as money in the West. They will be much more conve
nient for use than the certificates for 55.000 or irregular
sums, and creators will do well to select them in pre
ference to the others, if they are allowed to choose. The
large cf-rilfleaifey Will go into lh« banka and banking
houses as collateral for loans. It is hardly possible to
exaggerate the good which this issue of certificates of
indebtedness is likely to do in bueiuess circles. For
several months a largo portion of our best business firms
have been crippled by the impossibility of getting money
from Government. They will now- bo at once relieved,
and the “noble aimy of contractors 1 ' will begin at
length to reap the fruit of tiirir labor. Of tho 5300,«
000.000 spent fay Government in the past year, some
940,000,000 are generally supposed to be profit. This
large gain will now be realized, and its owners will
naturally begin to look about them for investment for
their money.

The New Epidemic —A Cube Discovered.—
There is low prevailing in this city, and especially in the
district of Kensington, a severe and obs.inate diarrhoea,
which occasionally assumes the form of dysentery, and in
a very few cases does it yield to the common medical
treatment. The Mature of thia disease has certainly been
misunderstood, not only by the stiff* rers. but by physi
cians likewise \ bonce the latter have been remarkably
unsuccessful in tbeir efforts to arrest the progress of the
epidemic. For come time it was believed that the dia
eace tvaa caused by the bud Quality of the w&tsr iMedby
the inhabitants of Kensington, and several circumstances
tended to strengthen thia belief. It is more probable,
however, that the epidemic originated in obstructions of
the liver, which are often prevalent at this season, and
particularly At the present tim«. As a proof that thia
is the real cause, it may be stated that tho diarrhoea la
speedily and almost invariably cured by Schenck’s Man
drake Pills, a medicine wLich acts immediately on the
liver, and restores it (when in a torpid and diseased stats)
to healthy and vigorous action.
It is said that a great many of the workmen who
have been employed at our foundries and factories in
the upper part of the city are now laid up by this dis
tressing sickness. Decently the Mandrake Pills pre
pared by Dr. Schenck, have bees introduced among
allUded people, ami hundreds of them are now using
the pills with unmistakable benefit. The medicines
previously used were calculated moroly to deck the di
arrheua, without removing the eawss. This frustrated
the effort of Nature to relieve herself of an acccumula
tic n of morbid matter, and thia matter being re
tained in thfl system, tho disease, of course, was made
worse. Schencfc’s Mandrake Pills follow the indications
of Nature by removing the unhealthy secretions of the
liver, restoring that organ to a sound and healthy condi
tion, and expelling from the body all those foul anl pesti
lent burners which are undoubtedly the cause of this
epidemic, and all others of a similar character. When
such diseases prevail, every family should have a box of
Schenck’a Mandrake Pills in the house. They cost only
twenty-five cents, and are the best purgative medicine in
the world. They act directly on the liver, and it should
bo known iliat purgative medicines are seldom required'
except when that organ is diseased. Dr. Schenck’a of
fice is No. 89 North Sixth strreet, whore air Dr.
Schenk’s medicines may be obtained. Schenk’s Man
drake Pills are also for sale by all druggists.
Remarkable Newspapers.— There are four
newspapers published in Sh&ngbae, about which there
are at least four things remarkable: They seem all
printed in. one office: they are all marked as edited by
one man; one of them is printed in Chinese ; and, last,
but not least, they all unite In saying that the cheapest
and moot superior garments, of the latest spring styles,
are manufactured at the Fashionable and Palatial Cloth
ing Emporium of Granville Stokes, No. 609 Chestnut
street, Philadelphia, where prices are twenty-five per
cent, lower than any other establishment in the city.
An Indefatigable Reporter.— The repre
sentativeof a metropolitan journal is stated to have run up
to a wounded officer at the battle of Fort Donelson, and
bogged him not to die yot, for the sake of the ■.
which he had the honor to represent, remarking, if he had
BDf last wprdg to uttor, Hint they should Mwear to the
best form, in the earliest possible issue of his widely-cir
culated and highly iniluential journal. The officer soon
rallied and finully got well of his wound; but before leav
ing the battle-field, he whispered in the ear of tho “in
