THE EXECUTIVE.
The Treasury Agents in the South have
been directed to publish the fact that the
cotton on which the rebel loan was based is
liable to confiscation. The Freedman’s
Commissioner at Charleston has issued an
order affirming the validity of land grants
made to freedinen under General Sherman’s
field order. Controller Clarke is out in a
sharp letter against Secretary McCulloch of
the Treasury. He says he “ can show to the
satisfaction of any one, that neither of your
monthly reports, for the last four months, has
shown within $50,000,000, the amount of
money in the Treasury or on deposit in the
national depositories.”——The following tele
gram has been sent to the collectors of Cus
toms on the Northern frontier. “Allow the
Canadian authorities to place officers at rail
road points on our side to examine baggage
and freight destined for Canada. It is under
stood we have similar privi legesfrom Canada. ’ ’
A delegation from the Democratic Con
vention of Pennsylvania, which recently nom
inated Hiester Clymer, a rank, though res
peotable Copperhead, lor Governor, called on
the President March 15th, and made the
usual laudatory speech in regard to bis
“policy,” &c. Belore the peroration was
reached, the President broke in upon them
the suggestion the “ the wisest thing they
could do was to go home and change their
ticket.” The President has signed the bill
extending the time for the withdrawal of
goods from bond. Nearly one hundred
Veteran Reserve officers have been ordered
to report to General Howard, for duty in the
Freedmen's bureau. United States troops
have been sent to the Canadian frontier, to
maintain the neutrality laws. The Cana
dian Reciprocity treaty expired March 17th.
-Several large mail contracts for the West
were closed in Washington March 14th, at
prices about 15 per cent lower than four
years since. A letter received at the Trea
sury Department, March 16th, from Frank
fort, Germany, stateß “ when the news reached
there that gold had fallen to one hundred and
and thirty-seven in New York, United States
five-twenties went up to seventy-four. ” It
is probable that they will reach eighty so
soon as it is known that gold has gone down
to one hundred and thirty. The new seven
thirties, currency interest, the letter states,
“arc well received in the German markets,
now that gold is declining, and can be ex
changed for five-twenties there at two per
cent, discharged.”

dreth had offered to donate, for school pur
poses, 22 feet of ground on Federal Street,
near Twenty-third, adjoining the ground on
which the Landreth .School building was
erected, and recommended its acceptance.
Tne -report was approved. Complaints in
regard to the High School are traced to the
indolence and inefficiency of the Principal,
who, the Committee say, habitually neglects
his duty to the school, among other things
neglecting to open the school by reading the
Bible, as ordered by the Board. ,The Com
mittee have arrived at the conclusion that the
future usefulness, and indeed the very exis
tence, of the High School can only be main
tained by a change of Principal. They re
quested his resignation on the 27th of Feb
ruary, but he had not noticed the request
The subject was again referred to Committee.

ria, and he relates that when he was a dresser
in the hospital his own life was saved by its
timely application. He got three dozen
lemons and gargled his throat with the juice,
swallowing a little, at the same time, in order
to act on the more deep-seated parts. Dr.
R. h'as noted eleven cases of complete suc
cess, obtained by this method of treatment.

give to the country a naval station with more
advantages and fewer objections than any
other within the arpa of the Union. T

speech are very often caused by the adhesion
of certain portions of the front of the brain
to the skull.
During 1865 the American contractors at
Sebastopol raised three large ships, and afeo
raised a great portion of twelve others. With

Great Britain.— The London limes, in
some remarks upon Mr. Bancroft’s oratibn
in honor of President Lincoln, says it is plijin
that the speaker took the opportunity jto
utter, and a part of the audience to applaud,
everything_ that could offend the pride riid
rouse the indignation of England. It says
Mr. Bancroft probably knows enough of Eng
land to be aware that these harangues have
little effect here, and it asks “ can this mis
chievous old man believe that any purpose
can be served by slandering two such coun
tries as England and France, in the presence
of their representatives?” Mr. tiothern,
an American actor, in a libel suit in London,
made revelations as to the way in which,' as
sisted by Judges Edmonds and Tallmadge, ; he
eumbugged a circle of spiritualists of both
sexes, in New York. The report of inves
tigations at Jamaica has stirred the indigna
tion of the people. The correspondent of
The Star says that 7 the sober truth is more

FIRE AND BURGLAR PROOF SAFES.
BURNING OP THE MUSEUM,
LETTKR FROM MR. BARBUM.
„ „ Nsw York, Ju1y14,1856.
Messrs. Herring & Co.—GentlemenThough the
destruction of the American Museum has proved a
serious loss to myself and the public, I am nappy to
verify the-old adage that “ It's an ill wind that blows
nobody anv good," and consequently congratulate
you that your well-known Safss have again demon
strated their superior fire-proof qualitiesin an ordeal
of unusual seventy. The Safe you made for me some
time ago wpg in the office of the Museum, on the
second floor, back part of the building, and in the
hottest of the fire. After twenty-four hours of trial
it was found among the debris, and on opening it Gils
day has yielded np its contents in very good order.
Books, papers, policies of insurance, bank bills are
all in condition for immediate use. and a noble com
mentary on the trustworthiness of Hsbrixg’b Firm
Proof Subs. Yruly yours,
P. T. BARNUM.

ISw ANOTHER TEST
ISP HERRING'S FIRE-PROOP SAFES.
Hie Fiery Ordeal Passed Triumphantly,
The Herring Safe used in the office of our ware
houses. destroyed by the disastrous fire on the night
of the Bth instant, was subjected to as intense heat as
probably any safe will ever be subjected any fire—
so intense that the brass knobs ana the mountings of
the exterior of same were melted off, and the whole
snrface f caled and blistered as if it had been in a fur
nace, and yet when opened, the contents—books and
papers—were found to be entire and uninjured.
This Safe is now on exhibition in our warehouse on
Seventh Street, with the books and papers still re
maining in it, just as it was when taken from the
ruin*. Merchants, Bankers, and others interested in
the protection nf their books and papers are invited
to call and examine it.
