to see to it that his agents attend to their duty.
■Whn©:on this subject, we deem it nothing more
than au act of justice to Mpj. Rbiiuau, who is the con
tractor for carrying the mails on horseback to Perry
countv, and up the Turnpike, Walnut Bottom ’“and
fctate Roads, to state that he fulfilled his uonlract; so
fur as it was possiWe to be done in tiie state of the
roads, to the very’ letter. By. placing fresh horses upon
the roads, and by sheer dint of extraordinary personal
exertion, he surmounted every obstacle, and faithfully
performed his duty to the Department and' the public*

their distinguished sou, Jas. os the demo

1 RESUMPTION BILL* . -
Tho Lcdgpr noticing the bill reported in the Senate
of Pennsylvania;‘postponing resumption for five years,
'says; ,■ '' * •
In every circle that wc b&vo heard il spoken of, it I
has met with ridicule and contempt. Few are dispo
sed to consider the proposition, serious. It is not only/,
but ineffectual of the least possible good;
The idea of keeping any proportion of' specie afloat
cotemporancously with irrcdcpmaldo paper, is too ab-1
surd (o receive serious .‘consideration by any body of.
men styling themselves legislators. The' bill does not
tuna at.an end half so sound aml.bcalthful ns'tha t pass- ‘
cd by (he House of Assembly, notwithstanding five '
tKAns are required to reach it. Ono great point with
j the bill of the House is, that it puts an end .to.the fluc-
I tuation of the currency at once.; It says, in substance,
that such banks as' can pay must.do so; and .that those
that are insolvent must not longer stand in the way of
those that afe sound, corrupting by their issues the
whole currency, and subjecting the public to continual
loss by ftiilurcs.and otherwise. This Uan important {
matter, the only thing, in fact, that can insure us stablo
times. Whether the Relief issues are made to bear ]
on interest of one or two per cent, tnorc or less, is of
but* little consequence, in comparison with the object .
obtained by a fuH'andpcrinancntTcsumplion—though-
Hhfc'sobner they arc withdrawn as a currency the bet
ter; They arc at best but a stumbling block in the
way of the. circulation of specie. The bill of the Sen-i
ate does nothing more than continue the present.stage
of things for five; years, willi the positive certainty of
being then compelled to bear our evils still longer or
have recourse to the very same mcansjo bo'rid of them
•that are now> proposed by the House of Assembly.—
Such is the light in which these two bills are consid
ered in all intelligent circles here.
The Philadelphia Gazette is very severe upon tho
bill, and the members who reported it It says:—
There was never sueh arrant stupidity and unpar- ,
donublo ignorance as seems to characterise tho action -a- t t4f % . „ w‘ •

cancy in the House of Delegates occasioned hytlic'
resignation of Mr. Legrand, resulted in tho choice of
Wl Buai.k RuiiiAnnsoN, the Democratic Resumption
candidate, almost without opposition. The vote 'stood
_fp-r_Ri-ch;»roson_s.o,BQ==J.oUnsOiu{).L7—Gough JAI. In_
alluding to this result, the Baltimore republican says:
—"The large vote of Mr. Righards.cm may be taken as !
the honest expression of public opinion on the subject'
of resumption. It is even more powerful throughout
tho Stale,'.’ : ■
In Maryland as in Pennsylvania, the popular will
aB-honcßlly-exprc3Bcd'by'Ono-brench-of4i>e-Lcgislaturc,.
is to he. set aside by the Senate. Tho house of Dclc
galcs-pasaed-a -hill-requiring, the. hanks_do_j , esunieJn_
riwcnty days’aftcr It became a law—the Senate refus
ed to concur, and go Jin for continuing the suspension
another year*! Tho issue was joined, helwpen tho
resumptioinsls and anti-rcsumplionipts at the Baltimore I
special election, and the result is announced above.— |
Such is public opinion, in Maryland. It ic even yet
stronger in Pennsylvania—and yet Senators in both
States set the will of the people at defiant# !
A general, fecling'.of.disapprobation runs through
this community at the course pursued by the Senate
in regard to resumption. The people have been
so long cursed with the evils of suspension, that' an
frnxious-Bolicitude fur^a-heller Mute p.f tilings pervades
all classes, oil conditions—-aye, pll parties in town and
country. ..The lime heretofore was. that those friendly
to resumption ,were only to he found in the Democrat
ic ranks.-,:lS T ow it is different. We verily ’believe that
full nine-tenths of the entire adult population of
bcrlaftd county, (and wb suppose thnl lhe same ratio
would hold good in other, counties,) aro sincerely de
sirous of seeing the earliest resumption practicable
brought ftbouMjy the^Legislature— not such a .misera
ble abortion < te the Senate bill contemplates, but an
unconditional, bona fide resumption, as proposed in
the lull which passed the House of Representatives.
- Should tho—Senatc-again- interpose-, asit bus done
heretofore, to bafilo the wishes of the a fearful
weight of popular indignation must fall upon that body
—and the question may arise whether that branch of
the Legislature liasjiot become a fungus on the body

PAYMENT OP Tilß PbSNSTLV'ANI A STATE InTßTl
,£st. —The. Plnladclphia-Inquircr of- Tuesday -week,
says:;—“Wo announce with sincere satisfaction, that
the Bank of Pennsylvania paid a‘portion of Uio State-
Interest yesterday, and will continue payment to-day
between 9 and I o’clock. . The interest is paid in
. bankable funds, or-rothcr in notes of the Philadelphia
and country hanks, with an- -addition.of_4£ per-cent,.
as an allowance for specie. The 'Bank*has been sup
plied with funds by the State Government, and will*
continue to pay tho interest from day to day, until tho
whole shall bo liquidated. It is quite probable that tho
injunction will then bo moved, and'the Bank‘resume
business. The Governor was present ot tho banking
house yesterday, and deserves no Utile credit for-his
praiseworthy efforts,, to sustain' and uphold tho credit
of the Commonwealth.”
The Ledger says the allowance of 4$ was not equal
to specie, by 2$ pot cent.

Virginia Free Prose, evinces that it is the offspring of
a cool calculating head and comes pretty near the
truth*
‘'Remedy for Hard Times. —lt would be_ criminal
to disguise tne fact, that the difficulties of the times
.must increase for a period. The people, in tho mass,
have gone beyond their they must them
selves begin to da exactly what the Banks arc com
pelled to do—curtail, retrench, and bpy* nothing’ but
‘articles of indispensiblc-necessity. However mortify

lution to Jirush up old fabrics instead of buying how
ones-—and aland still until the fashions come round

thing; pnd nothing but a-spirU of severe economy, and

Another Matrimonial Victim .—Ah interesting di
vorce case was before thb New Jersey Logialulurb on
Tuesday Week, of which the Newark- Advertiser's cor-
gives thc'fpllowing account:
■J A foreigner of very, gentlemanly appearance and of
great pretensions, by false representations ingratiated
; himself into the affections of a young orphan girl of 17,
beautiful, accomplished, and sent to France for certifi
cates bfjna character. A package of letters came, all
of which.Bjmke highly of him; but from this package,
it'was-artemard discovered, letters from an-eminent
American, then in France,' had been abstracted, which
would, if they had been received, have placed him in
such a light as to provent the unhappy consequence to
her and her family.. They were married, and in 4or
5 months it was discovered that he had committed a
forgery to a large amounts.
Ho fled to New Orleans, and thence to France in
the forecastle of a aiming a deadly blow bt
the happiness of his olfectionato wifehind her unborn
child. And it was afterwards discovered from letters
in his apartments that ho hod come from France cn
goged in a conspiracy to perpetrate forgeries to a largo
amount,* Two yedra have passed, and nothing has
i»ech'heard'frora him.‘~And this divorce-was sought
'and granted (by a vote of 35, to 9,) to prevent any
•claim by him hereafter to tho properly of his wife or
the person .of her child, : , . -

go away.. Crain then fired,, and - the ball
passed entirely through Muwle’s body, the

exert themselves to previht his escape,hut,
strange to say, all present were as passive

to be an athletic and desperate man. ; Every

may yet be brought to punishment, and e
