From the Tribune.
Ex -Governor II. V. Johnson, of Oeorptin, hat
very luboriotialy indorsed tbe Randall Conven
tion, in a four-column lottPr to tho Augusta
Chronicle. There are many pawwes which do
ecrvc notice, as indications of what the Kcbel
Ftatos expect to gain by union with Copper
leads. He urges the disaffected Bcauls to bus
tain the Convention, because it "has organized
a party pledged to the restoration of the Union
upon the basis of the Constitution and of repre
sentation to tbe Southern States, without any
tther test of loyalty besides the oath to support
the Constitution of. the United States. This is
deeply interesting to us. It is tbe overshadow
3nir question, paramount to all others. It is
vital. I surrender none of the cherished poli
tical op inioux of my life, so far an they arc
applicable to the situation in which we are left
2)V the war, nor do I indorse such as I believe
lobe erroneous in the Philadelphia platlorm
nd address.
"Rut what avails the discussion of those nowf
What can we gain by argument ?" Nothing; but
Jie hope to gain much through, the Jiclp of the
Convention, which ha says . is confessedly s
3novement of the President, who "desired 1t
l'irt, to inaugurate good feeling and under
standing between the friends of tho Union,
under the Constitution; secondly, to organize
them into a party, to sustain his policy ot resto
ration; and thirdly, to present lairfy to the
people ot the whole country the distinct Issue of
reinstating the ten excluded States to their con
stitution al relations to the other States, without
liuroustitutional tests of loyally." These are
lather stale fact9 now, but Governor Johnson
lias very plainly shown their Importance;
'The world knows that the people of the
South do not approve of all that was. done by
the Philadelphia Convention; Lor is it pre
tended that our delegates did. Protest against
what is objectionable by our preps or our people.
3s totally unnecessary, even as a matter of jus
tice to ourselves. There Is no need to dcQue our
position upon controverted questions of principle
r policy; it is known and read of all men.
'iV'heu restored to representation we can argue
snd d'.-bate if occasion require it. We shall
then have an audience: we PhaM even constitute
a part of the tribunal to decide the questions
discussed."
Again, this candid Rebel says:
"Ihe Southern States, by tbe act of secession,
put in issue two questions: First, the right to
freceue; and secondly, the perpetflation of
slavery, Roth have been decided against u.
and we have accepted, in good faith, the award
ot the sword. With this exception, our consti
tutional riahts are iust what they were before
the war: ior it is certain that if, in the laucruage
cl that 'Address,' the 'Government acquired no
3iew power by the war,' the Southern Bcates lost
3ioue. It were bootless to discuss these princi
ples now. It is a great point gained that, amid
lhe liery play ol tho passions, a party has been
organized that announces them. Ve can dis
cuss, when the right of representation shall be
accorded to us, with hope ot success.
UuV to realize these anticipations, we must first
lie admitted to our representation in Congress.
U'bat is the great question the essential vital
condition precedent to any hope of better days
ior lhe South. And this deperds upon the
tfnul success of the Philadelphia . movement,
Jict us encourage that success."
We hold this language to be sieni Scant
enough to alarm every citizen who is not pre
pared to admit that a State can rebel to-day and
resume her full national position to-morrow.
including the right to be of the jury and the
judges in tbe trial of her treason. It is noto
rious that the Robels do not accept the loyal
resolutions which the Convention, in deference
to the North, was compelled to adopt, but that
they yield simply for a time in order to gain
3ower. Governor Johnson lias to that effect
directly advised the South: "We must get into
Congress, find through the Convention is the
only door; then we can repeal those odious
laws, and compel tbe admission that, having
yielded to the Government, it has no rieht to
punish our crimes or require pledttes that we
will not renew thpm." This is his argument; it is
that ot the burglar vho, detected in his crime,
and knoekeu down by the oilicer, walks hand
cuffed into court, and demands a seat beside
tbe judge.
Our Public Fliiaiiccs.
Trom the Times.
Mr. McCulloch lias put forth a statement of
the public debt which creates universal astonish
ient and almost uuiversul gratification. He
Can never hope to please everybody connected
With Wall street banking or his captious critics
of the New York piess. The first will have
their disappointments, and the last must in
auige tneir censures, uui ne is doing more.
Jle is pleasing the people by the rapidity and
Skill with, wliich lie is reducing and funding the
public debt. His success thus far Is wonderful
the more so as he is neither disturbing the
general business of the country or sacrificing
The credit or market vaiue 01 nis stocks. The
Bioeress made in the month of Ausrust
to go no further back amply vindicates his
discretion, and justifies his steady refusal
to place his six per cent, bonds lor thirty
cr forty years beyond lhe power or privileye
of the Government to redeem them in gold
at a ruuen earlier date, lie uas iuiriy demon
etrated in the last .tew mouths that the
entire public debt can be paid off in less
than one-third the time which certain of his
Wall street advisers have been insisting he
should take, on a straight-out or unconditional
loan at tbe highest rate ot gold interest. And
1y the use ot bis new bonds ot 1865, for tundina:
fo much of the temporary obligations of the
Treasury as he may not be able to pay at ma
turity in 18G7 and 1H68 Iroin his surplus reve
nues, he intimates his unwillingness to commit
the Government to a high rate of interest a
Bingle day longer than the money can be bor
rowed, after live years, at a lower rate, where
with to pay off the 6-2i)s m gold coin. That
there' is no necessity for such committal is
fchown by the premium which the new 6-20s now
command in the market, and the premium
borne by the 7'30 per cent, notes, convertible
into 6-208. Indeed, there was no real necessity
tor exceeding Ave per cent, from the start, had
Congress afforded proper encouragement to the
consolidation of the entire debt at this rate last
summer.
r. A few months ago the public were rather in
credulous in regard to the practicability, or
even possibility, of reducing the debt to two
thousand millions before or by the time the
short Treasury paper then outstanding in the
shape of certificates of indebtedness and deposit
and compound and 7"30 notes would fall due,
or required to be paid or renewed. Yet it is
now seen that this object is not only feasible,
lut the fact itself almost accomplished. From
five or eight millions per month, while yet the
arrearages of the war were absorbing, most of
the receipts ol the Treasury, the rate of reduc
tion has eone up to an average reduction of
twenty-live millions per month since the 1st of
June, und even to thirty-seven millions for the
single month of August. The application of
the cash balances leit in uie Treasury at tne
io of that month, if it were demeed advisa-
tn convert the gold portion thereof, would
at once reduce the interest-bearing deDt, as it
stood on the 1st September, to $ 2,1.14,41)1.914,
n,l the surnlus revenues of the next four
months would undoubtedly bring the figure
to S2.000.000.000 by the 31st December,
18C6, ia place of the 30th June, 1807, leaving
outstanding $401,221,254 of greenback and
other circulation, free of all interest charge

Auotticr Hiwrlmen of the Manngrmeut
of Affairs lu Wavll Street.
Frrrm the Herald'.
We have published an Hcconut of the rollapse
of a Wall street institution, produced by the
alleged extensive cmbe.7.1ements of its trea
surer. The Ptory is an old one, and only re
markable because of the amount of money in
volved. The defaulting treasurer or cashier has
become as standard a cuaructer In our financial
associations as tbe heavy villain in the domestic
drama. Presidents and directors ol bunks and
ptock companies seem to regard these trequeat
defalcations as matters of course, and take no
precautions to prevent and few measures to
punish them. So loosely are affairs conducted
lhat when an expone occurs it is impjs.tible for
those concerned to ascertain accurately how
much money hiiB been stolen. The temptations
thrown in the way of cashiera, clerks, treasu
rers, and tellers by this careless mode of trans
acting business are almost irresistible, and tbe
lact that the criminals are generally permitted
to escape, eveu when their operations are
detected, adds another powerful incentive to
crime.
in the case of the Nassau Bank to which we
rclened a lew days ago the embezzlement was
discovered by accident. The detective police
happened to notice a person of gentlemanly ap
pearance haunfmar the Uroadway trambling
houses, and upon making certain inquiries they
discovered that be was tbe cashier ot the Na-t-sau
Bank, and Lad been losing lame sums at
play. Thereupon they went to the Bank Presi
dent and Informed h'un of the fact, and an m
vestluation disclosed the connection between
the gambling operations of the cashier and the
missing money at the Bank. The case before
us was revealed by a circumstance quite as acci
dental. A stock con pany had been formed for
purposes fully set torth in our report,
and an ex-Secretary of War, an ex
Governor of New Hampshire, an ex-Treasurer
of the United States Mint, and au
ex-Secretary ol State of the State of New York,
with many reputable merchants in this and
other cities, were associated in the enterprise.
The ex-Treasurer of tbe Mint at Philadelphia
was eltcted treasurer of the Company, and in
his banking-house the preliminary meetings of
tbe shareholders were held. A board of direc
tors having been chosen, it was agreed to sub
scribe the sum of two hundred and fifty dollars
each to start the Company, and the money was
paid in to the treasurer. Other subscriptions
were also received, and as the names of those
in charge of the concern appeared to guarantee
its stability, the general public began to buy up
theetock. It is supposed that, in addition to
the other receipts, at least thirty thousand dol
lars must have reached the treasurer in tbe
form ot remittances by letter; but the amount
may really have been double that stun.
In the meantime the treasurer was residing in
grand style at a lashionable hotel. The cus
tomary indulgences in high living, fine wines,
fast horses, and Havana cigars fi)l out this chap
ter ol the story. Of course there was a woiiiau
in this ai in every similar case. Like Jenkins,
this treasurer ban a wife and lamily to support
besides his illegitimate establishment. He
seems to have had a tol'ower, too, who bad ob
tained some knowledge of his crime, and drpw
uron him for funds in the ordinary style of
these fellows in novels. Affairs drifted along in
this happy routine tor some time, and although
the capital of ihe company was being daily mis
appropriated, the president and directors were
unsuspicious and the stockholders none the
wiser At last came the accident to which
we have alluded, resulting in the reve
lation of the defalcations. A carpenter
had done some work in the banking
house, and broueht in a bill which was
deflated exorbitant. Payment was consequently
retused, and the carpenter instituted a suit
against the firm and recovered judgment. In
liquidating the claim the treasurer gave a check
which had been paid in by a merchant of this
city as a subscription to tbe stocu ot tbe com
pany. When this merchant took up his check
he noticed that it had been used to defray the
private deot of the treasurer, and at once do-
nianded an investigation, it tne treasurer naci
onlv cashed the check himself and banded the
carpeuter the money he might have gone on
swindling ior anotucr year unaiscovereu. this
accident, however, checked nini in nis career.
He appeared betore the investigating committee
appointed by tne directors, promised to produce
his accounts next day at noon, and of course
ran away. Although this occurred on the 2d
of July, and the defaulter resides in Phila
delphia, no cuoit na3 yei oeen made lot his
arrant.
Now, what shall we say of such cross mis
nianaaen.ent tis these lnets reveal ? What is the
use of a president who does nothing but draw
his salary, and of a board of directors who direct
nobody ? Here is a company composed of respon
sible gentlemen, and officered by financiers of
experience, aed yet it3 treasurer is allowed to
appropriate its lunds undetected by any ol these
shrewd business men, and is only discovered
through the accidental agency of a carpenter.
When the treasurer is found out he runs away,
no attempt being made to stop or to pursue htm.
Alter he is gone the company cannot tell how
much money he has embezzled. The very fact
of his crime is kept Irom the public as long as
possible, although unsuspecting persons mav
still be subscribing to the company's stock. If
it were not lor the Herald and its enterprise the
true state of tbe case might have been
concealed for years, as it already has been lor
months. We could have published the informa
tion which we cave yesterday some time ago had
we not beeii obliged to verily every statement
by careful examination, instead of being assisted
by the company in making the fraud public, as
a warning to all concerned. But, useful as such
warnings may be to the people at lare, they
seem totally unheeded by the conductors of our
financial institutions. One after another these
dedications are exposed, but the next week
another of the same sort is allowed to
happen. Certainly our financiers ought to be
wise enough to guard aaainst these endless repe
titions ot the same fraud. If we must have
crimes let there be some little variety about them,
'ibis laice of the innoceut pivsideut. the un
sophiseated directors, and the kuavish cashier
or treasurer begins to sirow tiresome and to be
piayed out. People will soon believe, and very
rightly, that there is no institution in Wall
street worthy of confidence, and that men who
are wise and keen enough in their own private
business become foolish and blind when orca
uized into boards ot directors or placed in the
presidential chairs. But, lor the sake of all
those who already have funds invested in stocks
or deposited in bauks, we again call upon each
company to rigidly overhaul its aceouuts, and
we intend to urge me Legislature, at us next
session, to institute a morougn investigation of
these institutions.
Mr. Beecher' Secoud Letter.
From the World.
Mr. Beecher has written to one of his parish
ioners a letter, which was read in Plymouth
Church on Sunday, vindicating his noble and
statesmanlike letter indorsing the Cleveland
Convention. This second letter is as wise,
manly, and considerate as the first, to which it
gives additional value by showing the tenacity
with which the views expressed in the first are
held, and the discrimination with, which they
have been formed. To be sure, it is not written
Irom the stuudpoiut of a Democrat, nor suouui
we greatly respect Mr. Beecher if it were. A
man of capacity and sincerity cannot ning a
sudden summersault, and discredit all he has
been doing with great puDiicity unu .eai ior
twenty jeais. Mr. Beecher remains a Republi
can; remains a devoted Irlend of the black race;
n mains a vigorous advocate of the right of the
negroeb to the ballot; aud declares his disap
proval of certain poiuU in the character and
certain acts in the recent course of President
Johnson.
And it is because he thus stands on his old
ground, because he repudiates any political alli
ance with President Johnson or the Democratic
party, that the Cleveland letter, aud this new
letter reaffirming its principles, have so great a
value. Had the Cleveland letter b jeu written
by a Democrat, its argumentative coareney Its
ttttesinanlike breadth of view would have been
precisely tho same; but it would have lacked its
peer to command, nay compel, the Meutlon
ol those who most need its teachings. The ex
treme radicals, being unable to confute its rea
soning, atiempted breaking its force by accusing
Mr. Ueecherot havlne enlisted under the banner
of President Johnson, and virtually gone over
to tbe Democrats. Tills was adroit, but it was
not honest.
It was calculated to prevent a candid estimate
ol the force of Mr. Beecber's arguments, by
makina the millions of bis Republican admirers
believe that bis arguments proceeded from a
standpoint hostile to all their most chcri'-hed
principles. The second letter says that the
edge ol tho first cannot be blunied, nor its eilect
on Republicans be destroyed, by such unscrupu
lous representations. Mr. Beecher demon
strates in this second letter, that his desire for
the prompt restoration of the Union is consist
ent with tbe steadiest adherence to the political
doctrines with which lie has so long been iden
tified. He thereby removes themost lorniidnblo
obstruction to the spread of his views in the
Republican party.
Mr. Beecher believes the pending Constitu
tional amendment to be Intrinsically just and
reasonable, but he maintains that to postpone
the restoration of the Southern States for its
ratification would be a virtual decision to post
pone reconstruction for years, and Incur all the
hazard of mischief which would thence result.
"Either," he fcays, "the advantages of the Union
nre fallacious, or the continuous exclusion ot
the South from it will breed disorder, make the
future retiuion more difficult, and, especially,
subject the Irecduien to the very worst condi
tion of society which can well exist." Mr.
Beecher desires the election of representatives
to l oiiprpss, ibis tall, who favor the early admis
sion of the recusant Ma'cs. "In this spirit," he
says, "and for this end, I drew up tny Cleveland
letter. I deem its vins sound; I am not sorry
that 1 wrote it.'
Mr. Beecher dissect the character and criti
cizes the conduct of President Johnson; but he
animadverts, with almost equal disapproval, on
the course which has been pursued towards the
President bv the majority ot the Republican
party. As Mr. Reecher represents it, t'ie lead
iiitr Republicans have shown a foolish and
lamentable want of tact in their treatment of
tbe President. They tried to influence a proud,
sensitive, pugnacious, dogmatic man by brow
beating; and they have reaped whatthev sowed.
With the strong and passionate qualities which
Mr. Beecher ascribes to the President, he gives
him credit ior much natural kindness and says
that the South, by approaching him with per
fect subtnis-ton and appealing to his generosity,
have completely outmanceuvred the Repub
licans, and won the President by the superiority
ot thrir tactics.
Had the Republicans shown more wisdom and
a better appreciation of Mr. Johnson's charac
ter, there might have been perfect concert of
action between him and Congress, and objects
could easilv have been accomplished which
have now become impossible. The President
being a Southerner, brought into temporary
sympathy with the llepuuiicans by the war, was
iii constant dan ire r of relapse, unless treated
with great consideration; and when they were
fooli.h cnoueb to provoke a contest of stub
bornness and dogmatism, they ought to have
known inat in these qualities they would find at
least their match, and that, in the heat and
nlicctition of such a contest, they would probably
drive him back into his old detestatiou of North
ern fanaticism. This criticism of Mr. Beec'ier's, so
far as it is well loundcd, goes to show that the
Republicans have thrown away their only op
portunity to carry their policy by the method
they propose: and that nothing now remains for
them but to restore the Southern 8lates. and fall
back upon their old resources ot argument and
agitation.

K Is stated that the insurgents, surrounded on

in the woods; but thevare hemmed in by the
troops and the volunteers the latter belonging
mostly to the Toungouses and Bouriates, who
are cNcellent sharpshooters. The town is much

and employes who nre .Folc. Foot and horse

Vet, by a decree" dated 13th of April last, the
Emperor had considerably luititited the con
dition ol the Poles deported in Siberia. Those
condemned to penal servitude for six years
were made colonist; those who were colonisti
received permission to circulate freely through
the whole of Siberia. It seems that they have
availed themselves of this act of clemency only
to mutiny, kill, and pillage, for escape was out
ol the question.
Tbe Polish mutiny in Siberia was caused not
by a compiracy, but by sheer despair. Thou
sands of political exiles, victims ot the last re
bellion, were employed in making roads fr nn
Irkutsk to Kiachta, along the telegraph to the
Chinese frontier, and from Verchnoi Udinsk
through Nercainsk to Peiropaulovsk tn Kamt
schfitka. They were divided into many detach
ments, one of which, bcina stationed iu Kultuk.
on Lake Baikal, was so badly provisioned that
tbe men began to die oil last, and the
survivals, seeing tue like fate for themselves,
resolved cither to provide a remedy or fall iu
in the attempt. Accordingly, they surprised
their guards on the night of July '20, and having
possessed themselves of their arms, cut dowu
some hundreds, am one whom were Colonel
Schat and some other ollicers. Other Polish
detachments bave joined them. The number
of insurgents was swelled to several thousands.
Tbe Buryatep, or natives of the region, were
compelled to supply the warlike band with
horses and victuals, and in some cases did not
scruple to make common cause with them,
lour companies of infantry and six guns sent
against theni from Irkutsk were attacked hy the
Poles, who bad placed themselves iu ambus'h on
the banks ot the Seleuga, and defeated with
great slaughter.
Of two more detachments subsequently des
patched in search of the mutineers, one took
up a fortified position in the monastery of
Posolsk, where ft was besieged and defeptea by
the Poles; the other crossed" from Irkutsk, to the
eastern shores of Lake Baikal, where it tell iu
with a horde of Bur.vates, and was forced to re
tieat. Meanwhile the Poles continued their
march in lhe direction of Nercilinsk, with a
view to liberate the numerous prisoners detained
in the mines of that province. The above is the
Polish versioD of w hat has occurred, while the
Russians assert that the rebellion was crushed
in thejnid, jind jiasbeen long over.
