Mr. Huckalew Pu.) complained that the Associated

avoided mentioning his name at all, except on two
occasions, when It misrepresented him.
Seveml Senators who Imagined themselves to havo
been deeply wronged by the reporters' f nil tire to
insert their names aud speeches In the reports, rose,
and were about to pay oil' the old scores of the pre
sent and previous sessions, but a providential circum
stance intervened to save the reporters' feelings,
which were not strong after so many night sessions.
There was but an hour and twenty minutes of the
session left, and at 10-20 A. M.. Mr. Foster, in the chair
rose and Batd:
Senators: The final hour for the adjournment of
tho Thirty-ninth Congress is nexr at hand, and as mv
official connection with this bodv will have termi
nated, I shall soon vacate the chair, to the end that
you may elect a President of the Henute. Twelve
years have elapsed siace I was iirr.t honoded with a
seat In this chumber. During this period great events
of the most Intense and palulul interests to our coun
try: events as Imposing lu their character, as couclu
sive in their teachings, as momentous in their conse
quences) as any recorded In human history, have
passed before us, In rapid succession,
surely we have Just reason for gratitude and thanks
giving to Almighty Ood that, hitherto. His band has
upheld us. For the last two years, hy your favor, I
have occupied the chair of the Henate. My grateful
acknowledgments are due to you for the uniform
counesv which yon have rnnnllested towards me in
the performance of such duties as have been devolved
upon me. Occasional errors and mistakes, in the Im
perfection of our nature, are probabl v Inevitable. No
doubt 1 have committed my full share. My honest
purpose has been to act fairly and Impartially towards
All.
I have wronged no one intentionally, and If at any
time it has teemed otherwise, I sincerely regret it. In
casting my eves over the body, I recognize but tour
members who were here when I first entered the
feenate. Bince that time, eighteen of oor number have
been removed by death. Tuese changes are admoni
tory, snd must impress the mind with a sense of the
fleeting and transitory character of this stage lu our
being. Tbouub the greatest statesmen, the wisest
henutors, speedily pass away as all men must, institu
tions lounded on principles of right, truth, and Justice,
xnay remain till time shall be no longer.
May our Oovernment rest on these same founda
tions; may this (Senate ever maintain Its early renown
lor courtesy, decorum, dignity, and all the proprieties
and amenities which adorn the senatorial character:
mav you be called to do much to establish, and may
jou see established, harmonious and amicable rela
tions between all portions ol our country; may all
causes ot alienation and estrangement speedily be re
moved, and a spirit of concord and fraternal love be
everywhere diffused, and ever abide In the hearts of
all our people; may C4od preserve our republic, aud
wake it a perpetual glory among the nations!
Senators With feelings ot the utmost respect and
kindness towards you all, personally, I bid yoa fare
well. Mr. Foster then I vacated the chair, and and Mr.
Forney, the btcietary ot the benate, assumed the
duties of presiding officer.

Further Particulars of the Bank Defal
cation, Kte.
Baltimore. March 4. Much cicltemcnt,
ramitjiiiiK all circles of society, has prevailed
here since Saturday, In consequence of the
revelation ot a most furious defalcation In tbe
Mechanics' National Bank of this city.
On Tuesday morning last, Mr. Cullender, an
Inspector ol National Hanks for the Govern
ment, arrived here, and proceeded to examine
the books ot this Bank. Jn toe course of his
Investigations be soon discovered iu tbe
accounts of Samuel II. Wertz, general Book
keeper, and Johu H. Roeers, Paying Teller,
entries and alterations covering a large amount
of money, supposed to reach over $300,000, of a
fraudulent aud deceptive nature, and runniug
through a period of more than twenty-seven
years. Both tho parties named were arrested
on Saturday, and conductel before Squire
Hay ward, who held them to bail la $10,000 each.
The announcement of this fact naturally
created a profound sensation, and has been
the theme ot general conversation, to the ex
clusion ot even the veto by the President of tho
Reconstruction bill. Groups and squad of
people could be seen all day at the various cor
ners and In tbe most pioannent places of Sun
day report, discussing the subject, and a cood
deal ot alarm and mistrust were manitested.
Wertz tins been an otlicer in this bank for
about thirty-live years and Roirers tor about
twentj-nve years, the former being it man of
tsome tixty years of age, of l irge family, and of
staid and religious habits; the latter about
forty-five, aDd a free and easy man ot the world,
much devoted to the prolusion of Izaak Wul
ton. Rogers asserts that he is only aoout $iH)()0
snort, but ttiis is not, of course, yet positively
ascertained.
A meeting of the Presidents of the different
Banks of the city was held at the Mechanics'
Bank on Saturday eveuiug, at the request of the
Dircctots .of the sutlering Bank, at which its
anairs were exhibited by the Government In
spector, and after a consideration of the whole
cafe, It was concluded toat the Bank would be
hilly able to maintain itself and meet all its lia
bilities, notwithstanding its heavy losses, and
the President and Directors have issued a card
to that efiect.
The Mechanics' is one of the oldest and, as
was generally thought, the firmest established
bank of this city, and includes among its direc
tors a number of our wealthiest and most re
spected citizens. But the strangest tact of the
mattt is, that the preseot defalcation should
ester 1 back through a period ot several other
hcav frauds aud embezzlements in the same
instl ution, arid the otlicers and directors not
be i ole to detect, through the several severe
examinations of its books and accounts, which
should have necessarily followed therefrom, the
present stupendous peculation which a Govern
ment otlicer, hitherto a stranger to its affairs,
should in a few hours unveil.
The ereat noticeable embezzlement referred
to was that of Richard Turner, a teller in the
minis, aoout lam, in conjunction with Will am
Birch, a paner-hanirer aud prominent member
of the Methodist Church, who, by a system of
tne reissue oi uncancelled enccsrs. succeeded in
abstracting from $50,000 to $60,000 of tbe fundi
of the bant. Turner and Birch were both pro
secuted before the Criminal Court of this city
on tbe charge of conspiring against the bank,
were convicted, and were sentenced for
three years to the city jail", where Birch died;
but Turner was release i, and, after several years
itinerating as a ballad singer, he also died.
The next, and a tar more neriou9one, was the
very recent loss, by tbe same Institution, of
some $3za,000 through their transactions witu
tbe Merchants' National Bank of Washinerton,
and the firm ot L. P. Bayne & Co., of this.
city, mat these various tieiaicarions and
irauds should nave occurred, and the present
one be going on all tbe while, is the most
curious part of tbe whole matter.
The stock ot the bank is held by a large
number of private individuals, widows and
orphans. Tlie depositors are numerous, but the
latter class of creditors will certainly be paid in
full, as one of our leading banking and shippine
houtes have ottered and will hand over to the
bank $300,000, to enable it to meet all pressing
claims. The stock, of course, will be depressed,
but with a change of the officers aud manage
ment ot tbe bank, and its yet untouched capi
tal, it will be enabled to continue its business on
a diminished scale, and again, after the lapse ot
some years, regain the confidence of the public.

Norfolk, March 2. The foellnc of indigna

which was suddenly aroused by the arrest of
the five maeistrates of the Corporation Court,
who had held a highly creditable position in
the community, has quietly subsided, and an
entire acquiescence in the decision ot uominuv

Tne iournals of the city, somewhat unexpect
edly, havel abstained from that bitter spirit
which usually cbaracterizas tbe Southern press
when questi jus have arisen respecting the rights
of certain acts of the present Congress, and have
seemed content with descanting upon tbe
character ot the almost unknown complainant
in the case, J. K. Jones, who made the depose

which was read yesterday morniug at the flual

"On the 2oth of February the respondent, slttlnf as
tbe Court ol the Corporation, declined to admit cer
tain colored persons to testify in an eiainlnauon
pending before them of one Hammond, charn.id with
grand larceny. It seems that it was ansuadtotbe

testimony of colored persous does not authorize then
to appear as witnesses In cases similar to that then at
the bur. That this act, known as th Civil KlifUta
bill, although referred to. was not produced or called
lor, and that the Court assigned no reiuiou for Usjd vi

not made ny or at ine insiiini.-e oi me (".i"3

Ho recited various nolnts of law bearing upoa

as follows:

Ihere will be twentv-nlne vacancies iu the
House on tbe 4th ot March, from the SUtes of
California, Connecticut, Kentucky, New Hamp
Bbire, Rhode Island, and Tennessee. NewHamp-
Phire has her election on tne second Tuesday ot
March, and .will send three Republicans. Con
necticut elects four members (probably all Re
publicans) on the first Monday In April. On the
rjrst Wednesday in April Rhode Island chooses
two Republicans. Kentucky has ordered a
special election on the 4th of May, and of her
nine members not more than two are likely to
be Republicuns. The Tennessee election regu
larly occurs on the first Thursday of August,
and owing to the unsettled policy of the State
regarding suffrage, an earlier day is not likely
to be appointed. Her members are now equally
divided as Republicans and Johnson men. On
tho first Wednesday in September, California
chooses three members, all Republicans. There
is also a vacancy in the New York delegation,
occasioned by the elevation of Roscoe Conkling
to the Senatorship. No special election has yet
been ordered, but there is no doubc of the elec
tion of a staunch Republican to Mr. Coakling's
seat in the House. Members now chosen stand
classified as follows:
