They regard that as the one grand object yet to be obtained through the agency of their party. They declare that their triumph in the late,election would be Incomplete and meaningless If it did not lead to such a result. Holding to these views they boldly announce their determina tion not to rent until their cherished pro. Ject is successfully carried out, They have tried to secure an endorse.- meht of negro equality by a popular vote in different Northern States, but, one after another of the larger and more populous of them have rejected it by overwhelming majorities. The Radi• cats have been thus plainly told that a vast majority of the people of the North are sternly opposed to any such degra dation of the right of suffrage, and bit terly hostile to granting to negroes the right to sit on jut*, to hold office, and to exercise such politic.' functions as have heretofore been confined to white men. ; Any party which had a decent respect fur popular opinion would heed the voice of the people, thus plainly and emphatically expressed through the ballot Do (he Radicals intend to yield obe• (fleece to the popular will? Not they. They boldly declare their determination to enforce by indirection what they can not accomplish by legitimate means,. They intend to get the present Congress, in which they have atcontrolling znajor ity of Lwo•thirds, to pass an amendment to the Constitution of (the United States, taking the power of regulating suffrage and qualification for official position out of the hands of the States, to which of right it belongs, and conferring it upon Congress. Radical Legislatures in the Nuttli are expected to unite with Negro Legislatures iu the South to fasten negro equality' upon the people of all the States, without their consent, and against the clearly expressed will of a larger majority or them. The Legislature of Pennsylvania is expected to ratify such an amendment. Will it do SO 7 IVe can hardly believe it will. We Nut scarcely I,OlJeCiVe that men elected without the slightest refer ence to such a question will dare to fast en negro etpiplity upon the people of this State withimt heireOnsent, mid In de• fiance of what is well ktinwn to be the will of u vast majority. The people have u right In 110108101 that this miestion shall be submitted to them l'or decision.

It would 110 rant: usurpation of power, and the grosueiit outrage upon the people for legislators who were chosen without any reference t 6 the ratification of such an amendment, to attempt to act inde pendently of their constituents ill SO important a matter. We defy them to do so. We dare the present Legislature of Pennsylvania to attempt to enf,irce negro suffrage, and consequent, negro equality, upon tile people of this State, without submitting it to a popular vote. The assumption that the right of the people of each State to regulate suffrage ran he taken away front them by a Congress which is :Mont to expire, uud Icy t-qate Legis latures elected without reference tosuch action, smut rouse the masses of this Stale, and of other _Northern States, to the highest pitch cif indignation. Tice people of Pennsylvania will not tamely submit to have their most sitered rights, reserved by them when the Constitu tion of the United States was framed, thus violentlt wrested from their grasp forever. Tney will resent such an out rage in a proper manner, the sooner any members of the I,6gislature who may be inclined to sanction such in- famous aetion are brought to a realizing sense of what will be the result, the better for them. Let the people of Pennsylvania Stern ly demmid that this question shill he aulimitted to a popular vote. Let every white man within the limits of the Commonwealth, who is opposed to Ne gro Suffrage and Negro Equality, unite in an earnest protest against the con templated outrage. Let this lie done without distinction of party.

Democratic papers in the :21st Cougret , sional district of this State are oath rally indignant :it the course pur sued by Gov. Geary in declining to certify the election of lion. Henry D. Foster, They charge, tun! we have no doubt with entire truth, that Covode bribed Geary to commit this act of ito jostlee it mapising to give him the vote of the delegates front that district to re nominate him for Governor. ('ovule managed to get a too! of his appointed Return Judge from Indiana county, one Doty, a despicahle fellow who ;add no regard to the onth he took as an entree. This Doty undertook tocertify Covoile's election with all the returns against hint. Geary, thereupon, lends himself as a party Mout , of the grossest outrages which has ever been attempted. Out in that section of the State, where the antecedents of Geary are well known, this iniquitous conduct excites no sur prise. Ile had the reputation of heing dishonest and corrupt :when he position on the public works, and none of those wilt, were acquainted %lila Into at that time have the slightest respect fir him. Leading men of his own party In this county and elsewhere in the State have found hint to be untrd thful and unreliable, and numbers of them feel that he has diSlZraCed the high offi cial position for which he was nominated as the tool of Simon Cameron, and to which he was elected in a period of ex citement,. Should he lie re-nominated it 'will be against the earnest protest of many of the purest and best men in his own party, and he cannot be re-elected, If the Democracy bring for ward a popular and trustworthy candi date. Inequality' of Representation The Inequality and injustice of the apportionment of members 01 the Legis- ! lature of this State is seen wherever we look. Lucerne county polls 750 more ! votes than Lanctuttr. Yet Lucerne has one Senator and three Assemblymen, while Lancaster has two Senators and four AsAemblymen. Lucerne is Demo cratic and Lancaster Radical. That is iy so unjust a distinction is made. Lancaster is a, Congressional district, and another county is added toLuzerne. In this.welave another exhibition of the palpable unfairness of the present apportionment, by which the will of the people is defeated. IN Mobile the other day the lawyers and other officers attached to the United States District Court assembled, but no Is/01301)Y seems to know What to do Judge was present. The notorious and miserably corrupt wretch, Dick Busteed with.the Indians. General Sherman, w even gives 'em up. It is now our turn was detained at Washington to answer serious charges which have been made at tile conundrum. 4 against him. Lincoln gave some queer Give 'em the ballot. specimens of Judges to Southern Courts, -Will anybody suggest an objection? and Dick Busteed was one of them. THE LANCASTER W EKLY . INTETALICI - ENGER , WEDNESDAY, DECII]MBER 2, 1868. 11 " Can the Prevailing Corruption be Checked? Very few persons seem to realize bow great a change hap passed' upon this nation within the last eight years. We are no More the same peo• pie. Old methods of thought and action seem to have become completely obso lete. We have learned to despise the homely ways and the slower methods of those who preceded us. Now all men hasten to become rich, and few stop to inquire whether the means they employ are strictly honest and entirely reputable. A degree of demoralization prevails which is absolutely alarming. The business community in our large cities seems to have become perfectly debauched. Witness the history of the past two weeks in that financial centre, Wall street, New York, where from day to day those who have had the cus tody of trust funds, have been shown to be engaged in the most gigantic and disreputable schemes of swindling. The old time honor which prevailed In trade no longer exists, and the worst system of paper money the world ever saw, has converted business of nearly every description Into a mere gambling game, where each player is trying to take ad vantage of the man who stands next to him. In politics corruption has spread more widely, and taken a deeper hold, if possible, than in the business world. The Immense sums of money annually wielded and expended by the govern ment have held out such temptations, that the old time virtue and public spirit have gone down before them. It has come to pass that office uo more seeks the man. and worse still, the best and most deserving citizens no more seek office. The day when good, and great, and pure men were solicited to become candidates for public position has gone by. A multitude of greedy fellows are always waiting to seize upon every vacant public position. Nominations for elective offices are secured by the most disreputable means. Base men employ baser tools to ulcerate on the basest portion of the community, and in pot- houses and grog shops it is settled who shall be the candidates to be voted for. This is not only true of the larger cities. It is also true, to a great extent, of the rural districts. Men seek office not‘Lhat they stay do the State service, but front mere mercenary motives. When our politics has become such a cess pool of filthiness, Is it any wonder that corrupt men are found in high places? Is it strange that, the Pennsyl vania Legislature has ranked as a mere, purchaseable commodity for several years past ? I, it to be wondered that Simon Cameron could buy a sent in the 111, Red States Senate; and that the Radical members elect are even now engaged in calculating how much they can each make by a sittilar sale of them selves this winter? Should it excite surprise when we are told that the whiskey ring is omnipotent at Wash ington, controlling, not only Congress, but, the heads of departments? Is it strange that such men as have been sent, to Congress since Radicalism has had control of the Government should he deeply engaged in jobbery and in plun dering the treasury by a multitude of devices? Why, it has come to pass that ~an honest, official of any description is laughed at. Radicalism has so seared the public conscience that rascality scarcely meets with a frown, unless itie of a petty character, or does its work in a bungling manlier. The sharp scoun drel WllO steals millions dexierously is , admitted into the best society, and be conies aleaderof our shoddy aristocracy. Is there no remedy for all this? Shall we look to the pulpit? Why, even the pulpit has, to a large extent, become an upholder of the very thing of which we complain. Thousands of professing ministers of the gospel have bedraggled their robes, which should be sacred, in the filth tail mire of Radical polities, and have been busier with pot-house politic ails iII deciding who should be elected, then ever they were in the work of saving souls; Their bibles have been ransacked for passages from which to draw texts for political sermons, their pulpits have been desecrated by parti san harangues, and they have injected stump speeches into the prayers they offered in tile temple of God on the day which was set apart us sacred from worldly things. Such a pulpit as we have now will not save this nation from the perils by which it is sur— rounded. What can he done to cheek this wide spread and increasing corruption. We answer, let every honest man in the country heroine a preacher. Let every upright 1111111 expose the raswalities and the Irauds %%hien prevail both in busi- 'Jess and politics. Let every pure man speak out boldly against the iniquities exist, regardless of partyatlilia- Lions, and oaring not on whose head his blows may fall. Let every patriotic man reeolve Il u et he will never vote for any candidate who is ever suspected of tak ing a bribe or of using his (ace for a corrupt and unworthy purpose. •rntil this is (Igoe things will only go on, as they have been doing, front bad to worse, until the cancer of corruption eats away the vitals of the cation, and this (lov er., ineVt falls a prey to those agencies which have destroyed all the republics which have preceded it. TuE question of doubling the number of cadets ut West Point is being agitated in Radical circles. Wno wants more military . officers? We have enough of men who have seen service to °Meer all the soldiers we are likely to employ fur years to come. The army its now or ganized is costing three times as touch as it should. There are multitudes of out tens receiving pay, who ought to be mustered out, and given a chance to employ what talents they may have hi making a living for themselves. The ptcople do not want, to he taxed to keep up a vast horde oC military drones. What the country needs is the retrench ment of expenditures in every possible way. So let us hear no morne of devices for Increasing the burthens of taxation which now press so heavily upon the masses. I•r does not seem that Iteverdy Juln. son is making any very satisfactory progress in the settlement of the Ala barna claims. The plan said to be agreed upon is that the Queen of Eng laud shall name two commissioners anti the Presideut one. The commission is to set at Washington to consider all claims which may he presented, and in ease of a disagreement tke matter is to be referred to some o.uen.ithe,'6overeigns of Europe for final adjudication. We rattier think the chance of the claim ants to secure justice before such a tri bunal would he a little slim. It is a s - iecimen of Seward's work. A Washington correspondent inti mates that Simon Cameron is likely to be made Secretary of the Treasury under Gran:. God save the mark! What an appointment that would be ! The man who laid 1112 foundation of his fortune by palming oil Middletown bank notes upon the Winnebago ,Indl ans—the man whom Lincoln had to turn out of the War Department to stop: the wholesale plunder of the public treasury—the man whom Thaddeus Stevens described in his grimly hu morous way by declaring he "would not ideal a red hot stove "—such a man for Secretary of the Treasury. "Angels and ministers of grace defend us." Democrats In the Next Congress. The Deinocrats elected enough metro beta to destroy the two4birds Radical majority in the next Congress. These Democratic representatives were fairly elected, and those whe.bad thestnallest majorities were forced to,•'coufend against the most shameless frauds and the most unblushing corruption. With a perfectly fair election we should have had a still larger representation in the next Congress, and the majority of the Democratic members would have been greater In their several districts. There is not a Democratic member who has any reason to dread the closest scrutiny into his election, if the examination be made by honest men and honestly con ducted. But, will that be the method of proceedure That is the question. Judging by the past it' will not. The whole country knows that numbers of legally elected Democrats, both in the House and the Senate, were deliberate. ly turned out of seats to which they had been fairly chosen, in order to enable the Radicals to hold a two-thirds ma jority In both Houses of the present Congress. Will they try the same game over again? We notice that a number of Radical journals are already predict• ing that they will have a two-third majority in the House again before the middle of the first session of the next Congress. How they intend to gain that ascendency every man knows. It can only be done by the most unblush ing disregard of all justice and by set ting at naught the will of the people plainly and clearly expressed in the recent State elections. How can the contemplated outrage be averted? We confess we know of no Peaceable method. Tosuch a pass have affairs come in this government thatthe people must submit to see law, and jus tice, and the sovereign will of the elec tors trampled under foot by an insolent, lawless and corrupt faction, or else a resort must be had to revolution. The time may not be very far distant when the people will have to take matters in their own hands. If a Republican Gov ernment Is to continue to exist iu this country there must be an end to such outrages us the Radicals have already perpetrated. If they are allowed to turn six or ten Democrats out of their seats to insure a tic() thirds majority In a Congress, which has usurped the powers of the other branches of the Gov ernment, they will riot hesitate to turn out twenty or fifty after the next elec• Lion, if necessary to enable them to continue their rule. Thiit such lista : pillion must inevitably lead to revolu ' Lion is absolutely certain. It remains to lie seen how far the next Congress will go in the part of ust&pation and outrage marked out by the present body. They may slop short, or they May boldly advance to a point where the people will be forced to Interfere, and to assert their rights, and to rescue our Republican institutions by force from those who would destroy the last vestige of them. The time may not be far distant when the people will be compelled to go to Washington, and give orders to a-Radi cal Congress as imperative as those of Oliver Cromwell to the British Parlia• men 1. New IVelskey Tax 'i•hu.;c who know say the reduction of the tax on whiskey was made at the re quest of " the ring." They wanted to lay in a big supply at a low rate, and relied upon their influence over Con gress to secure an advance as soon as they had a large stock on hand. It is said to be certain that a change will be made at the next session of Congress ' as soon as the Members of "the ring" are fully prepared for it. " The ring" has au immense quantity of whiskey on hand already, and will incense its stores up to the day when the tux is raised.-- The Whiskey Ring has the Radhad majority or the present Congress con). pletely under itseontrol, and there is no doubt that the corrupt combination will have things its own way. In the mean time the Term; e-of.olllce Law protects all the whiskey thieves in the country, and enables them to continue their plundering without let or hinderance. There is no doubt that Radical Con gressmen are bought, and sold,• like sheep in the shaml4S, by the whiskey ring and other gigantic monied monop• olies. The present Congress is as ear rupt as any Radical Legislature of Pennsylvania ever was. How corrupt they have been, all men know. Thatiksglving Far be from UN to say that we have nothing to be thankful for. Even in misery it becomes the human worm to be thankful that it is no worse. There fore let us kill the fatted calf, roast the fatted 'l'urkies, frickasee the fatted chicken, hake the traditional pumpkin pie, uncork the generous wine, and out of the rutin es.s of well (listen ded stom [tells (the heart is out of fashion) give thanks far the abundance which surrounds us. Ent, While we thus estimate all the full measure of our physical enjoyment. let us temper our gluttonous tasks with thoughts of the multitudes of our kiu— dresl who are without food over which to be festive; let us remember with a spirit of forgiveness amid true Christian cuarity, those of our own race who are struggling for an existence with the bayonets of the tiovernment pointed at their throats, and the brand of the ne gro flaming near the eaves of their dwellings. Let us pray that, (for pray ers were once the fashlon on Thanks giving day) a firm and lasting peace may be speedily established between the different sections of our country—a peace founded iu true fraternal feeling, never again to be broken. Let us pray that to the incoming administration may he vouchsafed the wisdom, the will, and the ability to restore the bles sings we have lost, and to render the Nation more happy and prosperous than it ever was before. Judge ('hase Does Away with the Iron Clad Oath Chief Justice Cliase in the Supreme Court, at ,Richmoud, decided that the iron-clad oath should not be adminis• tered to the grand jurymen, as it rather hindered than furthered the ends of A new grand jury was then summoned on this aucision, and will only take the oath to support the Con stitution of the Coiled States. This decision is eminently wise and proper. Under the ironclad oath very few of the more intelligent white man of the South could be sworn as jurors. Chief Justice Cnase has acted wisely in doing away with it, and all honest and sensible men will heartily approve of what he has done. idiot•Uer of Butler's Them t Ben. Butler certainly possesses the spirit of a thief. Whether beyeally did steal as many spoons 5n the South as some say, we cannot tell, but sure it that he stole the seat which belongs of right to our Congressman elect. The ungracious Beast has unceremoniously appropriated to his own use the desk lately occupied by Thad. Stevens, and Col. Dickey will be compelled to take a back seat right along side of Johu for• rissy. What a juxtaposition that will be. IT is reported that Si,fieen Cameron declares he will take no part in the Senatorial fight, and that neither his son nor his son-in-law will be in the field. We presume that means that he is backing come one else whom he can control. The "pig Indian" will be somewhere when the ,bactle,is going on, and- we are ready to lay # handsome wager that his man will be elected. We advise all interested to be prepared for cunning strategy. Simpu paver gives up, and he was never known to fail in such a game as the one Which is now going on.

Out for Negro Suffrage The Harrisburg Telefiraph, and the , Lancaster E.ri.ress ore both out in long editorials advocating the infamous scheme of forcing negro suffrage upon the people of Pennsylvanimby the joint action of an expiring Congress and State L'./g,islaturcs elected without au thority to decide such a question. We insist upon it that this outrage shall not be perpetrated. Let the question be submitted to the people at the next election for members of the Legislature. If the members elect should dare to force it upon the people of this State, without their consent, they will dig their political graves, and consign the Repu hlican party to destruc tion. A storm of popular indignation will be excited such as was never wit nessed in Pennsylvania before. The Republican party would lose five white' Votes fur every negro vote thus gained. Common political prudence would seem to demand the submission Of the ques tion of negro suffrage to the people of every Stale. Let it be done. Let the people, without respect to party, de mand that It be done. Let petitions be 'circulated In every township; and let' ail conservative Republicans unite with the Democrats In a demand that the question be submitted to the people for their decision at the ballot box. , & Specimen of Negro Legislation The AlabaniaLegislature has adopted several sections of a bill to punish Ku- Kluxism. The bill declares it to be no crime to shoot any person who appears with a mask on his face after dark. Such legislation was never heard of be fore in any civilized country. A law of that kind must tend to make Human life very cheap, and will only be calcu• lated to increase the ddllculties which it professes to be designed to prevent. It is a specimen of the kind of crude, unwise and barbarous legislation which may be expected:from a legislature made up of ignorant and vicious whites and negroes equally ignorant but not snore vicious. Such a law instead of dimin ishing disorder in Alabama must in. crease it. It will cause every man who was engaged in the rebellion to go armed to the teeth, and will lead directly to scenes of violence and bloodshed. A Negro Congressman have at lengtli succeeded in accomplishing one of their most cherished projects. By throwing out the votes of twelve Democratic parishes in Louisiana they have managed to secure the return of a negro to Congress. The name of the happy darkey is Menard. By the patent Radical method of rejecting what votes they please and counting only what sults them, this African representative is sent to Wash ington to fill the unexpired term of a dead carpet- bagger named Mann. We congratulate the Republican party on this magnificent triumph of their policy. Let them rejoice now that they have succeeded iu accomplishing their most dearly cherished purpose. The Ashes of Columbus A Washington correspondent of the Baltimore 0 azt tic says: An intaireeting tact hits just come to the knowledge of the Government here, which may aid, in some degree, the negotiations of Mr. Seward fir a naval depot in the West Indies. While the heart of Christopher Colnnibus is preserved in Ilavana, his ashes are in an iron coffin buried beneath the floor of a chapel in an old church in St. Do- : ruing°. It is also Intimate(' that these ash e s can be secured by our fenyerninent and that Prominent Buz wlll allow them to be transferred to this city for proper illterment. We hope au effort will be made to secure the ashes of the discoverer of this continent for appropriate interment at our National Capitol. That is where they ought to be placed. A magnificent and appropriate tomb should be erected over them, either by the government, or by voluntary subscriptions from the people of the United States. Every one would feel like contributing for such a purpose. Swindling by a Natlonal Bank Elsewhere we publish an account of the swindling transaction of the Mer chant's Eank of WashiVon City. The statement is from the New York Sun, a Republican newspaper. The whole system of National Banking is wrong. It naturally leads to rascali ty, and will yet be found to be a most fruitful source of corruption and fraud. The sooner it is done away with the better for the country. Passports The State be.

Every infantry regiment in scrvlce Aosta two, million dollars per annum, and the I cavalry still more. The working men of the North foot the bill. Every thing they buy is increased In price to main tain a vast standing army in time of profound peace, and they are con ' demned to work from one to two hours a day to supply the money which is thus worse than wasted, the Govern- ment requiring that amount of extra work from them to support these use less troops. General Grant thus ad vises the maintenance of an enormous army, Just at the very. time when the Secretary of the Treasury reports another large increase in the national debt. Without decided retrenchment national bankruptcy is inevitable, and there is no branch of the Government Geary for Negro Suffrage, Governor Geary made a speech be fore the Ts chers' Institute of Chester county the other day, in which, to suit himself to the advanced ideas of the Radicals of that section, he took strong ground in favor of negro suffrage in Pennsylvania. His remarks on that subject were suppressed by Cue Repub lican papers, and a believer in the doc trine takes the Adccrliecr to task for this omission. The editor apologizes as follows: We cannot say why the 01.10:12i1011 wit . § made. We had nothing to do with the t..• port, but simply published it as sent to ho. The Governor is in favor of impartial suf. !'rage, and if ❑oy 61 our friends feel able to furnish even a synopsis of what he said touching tile particular subject, we shall have no objection to inserting the salmi in our columns. fly all means let us have it. Since Geary is likely to Lea candidate for re election the people ought to know what lie has to say in favor of negro equality in Pennsylvania.

This change in the time was ordered by an act of Congress, passed January 22.1, 1867, which provided as follows: "In addition to the present regular time of the meeting of Congress there shall be a meeting of the Fortieth ' Congress of the United States, and of each successive-Congress thereafter, at . 1.2. o'clock M., on the 4th day of March, • the day on which the term begins for which the Congress is elected, except that when the 4th of March occurs on Sunday, the meeting shall take place at the same hour on the next succeeding day." Somn negroes in Washington had a meeting i n Washington city on Thanks giving night to consult about laying the corner stone of a Church. The colored brethren debated the subject for a while, the coutsst of words grew warm, the participators came to blows, nearly a hundred were speedily engaged in a re-' gular fight, the police had to be called in, and the casualties were one negro killed outright and quite a number seri ously injured. One of the °dicers was badly hurt and another slightly, before the belligerent binc t christians were reduced to order. The negroes vote and hold office in Washington. " Let us have peace."

Chief Justice ('Lane 1 the Test Oath The following is the decission in full of Chief Justise Chase concerning the test oath, made in the United Stotts Circuit Court for Virginia on Wednesday Gent/oats of the Grand Jary : W hen sworn yesterday there was administered to you, besides the ustnirmth, an additional oath which, by the not of Congress, is not required to be taken unless upon motion, by the district attorney or by the direction of the court, in the exercise of its own discre tion. An order of the court at each term is required by the act. At. this term the dis trict attorney has made no motion, nor has the court given any direction that the addi tional oath be administered. It was ad. ministered by the clerk in accordance with the practice which has heretofore existed. Scruples at taking it, expressed by some of the grand jurors known to be among those best qualified for the responsible du ties of their position, have induced us to in. quire whether the public interests now demand that the taking of it be required, and we are satisfied that while the matters affirmed in it are proper cause of challenge in particular cases, the ends of justice will be hindered and defeated rather than pro moted and secured by directing It to be ad. • ministered, unless some special occasion shall demand it. No such special occasion now exists, and inasmuch as the required number of grand jurors have not yet been sworn, we will order that those who have been sworn be discharged, and the rearshall will summon another grand jury in the usual manner. • The Trial ofieff. havie Richmond Nov. 30.—This . morning in the "United States Circuit Court, Robert Ould, bounsWfor Jeff Davis, made a motion to quash the 'indictment against Jell.

Spin ner he found that the National Bank ot the ' Metropolis, of this city, had over ono mill ion of dollars on deposit, while it had given but one hundred thousand dollars security. The pressure he at once made upon it for this motley de,veloped the fact that the bank had, through the grossest mismanagement, become insolvent. or would be if the Gov emu-lent funds were at once withdrawn. By pressing it closely its available securiles were at once converted into money, and the Government funds to a large extent return ed. While this return was being made, the bank deposited with Gen. Spinner POO,- 000 more as security for its deposits, mak ing a total of $400,01/0 United Slates bonds, ' in addition to $OO,OOO deposited to secure their circulation' of :1 1 ,150,00U. The bunk ar• ranged or compromised with its private depositors, and went into" voluntary ilqui datton three years ago. The office furni ture was sold at auction, and the bunk was closed up. A room was rented in a back street, and for a time an tinpeurance of an office was kept up by having a small boy I there to tell Inquiring persons that he did not know anything about the allitirs of the bank, and he did uotknow who did. Soon, however, even that little display of liquidn liun was abandoned, and the books and tellers disappenred, no ono knows where. To-day the batik has no existence known to the notaries, to toe other banks, to Gen. Spinner or' Comptroller Hulburil.. The letter was asked for information, but was unable to tell more than that the last quar terly report of the bank was signed by " A. F. Weaver, acting assistant cashier." No ono in the office knew if there was such a man, and an examination of the last Witsh ingtou City Direetory disclosed the name of A. F. Vi etiver us residing upon G street. No number was given, probably to save that gentleman from annoyance, if there be such a person. The report of the COMp trollor, issued one year ago, reports this bank us in " voluntary ilquidation." The ;overnment deposits are put down at 713 ; the amount ol United States bonds on deposit to secure deposits nt the amount of bonds to secure circulation, iY202.- 000 ; amount of circulation out, $178,000. Au inquiry at the Treasurer's office level. ops the fact that the blink draws setni-an nuttily the interest in gold upon the tsio2,ooo of United States securities, and has gra ciously returned to the Government, within the last year, $3'2,000 int currency. Gen. Spinner has repeatedly asked the Comptroll er to appoint a receiver; but he declines to do so, as he says the bank is In liquiadtion, rind does not need one. Here is adefunet without office or expanses, sticking from the Govertunent Vlii,l2o in geld per annul iequal to over SAOOO in currency), owing the Government half a million of dollars for over three years, and deliberately try ing to discharge the indebtedness by ox tracting the money from the United States Treasury with which to do it. And the Comptroller decides not to interfere with such a liquidation, This batik has an ar rangement with stuns bank, or some one In New York, to give legal tenders for its notes if any tire offered for redemption, and then the notes so redeemed are sot afloat again, rendering the redeintion to three. Egiur years ago the bondholders were uteri of property and could have been held responsible for the amount of their stock; what or who they are he One van tell, nor can any one Imagine who they will be years hence when the bank is li quidated, or how many of those who had property in their names three years ego have it now. It is rumored that the bank has a large portion of its stock held by persons in the Treasury Department whit will net allow any interference with the nice little arrangment. This is but one of the Many leaks in the Treasury which Mr. McCulloch prefers to . tolerate rather than to interfere with or try to arrest. 801 -fu-t ILe-Dad' Wife I=l We see by the St. Paul papers that the white wife of the late Chippewa chieftain, Hole-in-the Day, is in Minneapolis, Minn., with her six-months-old int . :onto her arms, looking for a situatom as servant m some She was, previous to her marriage, a din ing room waiter-girl at Willard's Hotel, Washington, D.

This girl, seeing him at the hotel, hearing that he was rich, and being of a romantic turu of mind (not uncommon to ail feniales) she made herself agreeable to the chief, and finally consented to take him for better or tor worse.

The Chief was very fond of his white wife, and mode her many handsome rind valua ble presents; In fact he bought her every thing her eyes saw and heart desired. Thus matters passed pleasantly until the assassi nation of the .13y, and than her bright dreams • took wingS, and the bride found herself friendless and homeless, for the relatives of the Chief refused to tillow her anything, even enough to carry her back to her home in Washington, and no .v she wanders about wills her infant, seeking employment and charity which shall keep them from starving.

Last evening the steamship Stars and Stripes, of the Southern Mail Steamship line, arrived at this port, haviug ou board, in addition to its own, the passengers of the Star of the Vuion, wrecked off do, on the Cost of Cuba, some weeks ago. 'rho passengers wore all In good condition, their only, and that an important, source of complaint being that they had lost till their personal effects. They all join in high praiso of the courage of ono o: the Seamen of the Star of the bniou named John Holmes. When the vessel ran upon the reef, and there was a panic among the pus. sengers, a boat was launched, which was swamped. Tho passengers were thrown upon the roCks, to which they clung, while the spray towered thirty feet over them. He quiCkly launched another boat, arid saved many with his own hands, while he encouraged others until help reached them. A Californian, whose name in supposed to be Clark, was in the swamped boat. He had f 5,000 in gold, in a money belt, strap ped around him, and a life-preserver around his waist.

From original condition of sentimental attachment to the negro, she has elapsed into a state of unconquera ble dislike and aversion. She will not have them about her, either indoors or out. She tnmed them all off her place, and allows no one with a black skin to approach her. We are told that an acquaintance of ours sought to send here message by a black stewardess on board a steamboat, but she refused to allow the negro to approach her. Her mind, as we have been credibly informed, is very much inflamed against the negro ; and this, probably, from com paring their efficiency and aptitude as laborers and servants with that of the Northern whites. Her fancy picture of the African has been spoiled, and her senti mental affection has turned in consequence, to violent aversion.

Justice to James Buchanan The following correspondence will ox plain itself. , 'Mr. Reed deserves tho thanks of the community In relieving the memory of Mr. Buchanan from,the aspersions of the reuegntlo Kelley : MR. =ED ,T 6 JUDON ADVCCAT UEN ERA 4 CITF-4TS UT HILL, NEAR PlittADEr.riz lA, I September 11, IStis. Sir : You aro probably aware that the late President Buchanan, entrusted to me the duty of preparing a memoir of his life, and to that end the executors have placed his papers in my hands. This must too my excuse for now addressing you. I am desirous of obtaining your testimo ny on a single point. The Hon. W. D. Halley, in a speech de livered by him a few days ago in this city, among othet things, said that President Buchanan consented to the surrender of General Twiggs, of the fOreee, dtc., in 1861, and vouched for his authority for this the very respectable gentlemen of this city, Mr. Edward Shippen, WriOM lie described as Twiggs executor, and as having his letter book. Mr. Shippen informs mo he Is not, and never was such executor, and has no letter book, but goes on to say be has seen some correspondence which left the lin preasion on his mind that Twiggs long before the sur render apprised the President, and of course the War Department, of his Intention to make the surrender, and that It was a mut ter of surprise to him that he was not sooner relieved from his command. I have no idea that any such state of facts existed or such correspondence took place. You were appointed Secretary of War on the 23. i of January, MI, bad been Post master General previously. and Twigas' surrender took place on the 211th of Febru ary. have you any objections to give me your recollections on the subject? Au early an swer will much oblige me. I have the honor to be ynnr ob't eerv't, WILLIAM B. REEn. MR. 11 oI.T TO MR. REED. WAHRINOTON, Sept. 16th, IeGS Ilun.)William B. Reed: SIR:-1 am In receipt of your favor of the 11th inst.. bringing to my notrce a declara• Lion said to have beon recently made In a public speech in your city, to the effect that " President Buchanan consented to the sur render by General Twiggs, of the Federal forces, fic., In 10111 ;" and yon ask me to "give you my recollections on the sub ject." . . Either as ad interim or permanent Sem , tary, I had charge of the War Department front the list of December, 1860, until the 4th of March, 1861. During that period, I had, from day to day, frequent and free con ference with the President in regard to the military affairs of the country, but In none of these interviews, did he state, or Intimate that had he in any way, given his counte- ! nanoe or connivance to the surrender by I Twiggs, to which you refer. As is shown by the records of the Departtnent, Twiggs was relieved of his command and his successor j designated, on the 15th of January, ; yet, in &Canoe of this, and niter he had re ' e,iived the order relieving him, he. on the 15th of February following, by a formal agreement, turned over to the rebel enemy, then organizing and taking the field in i Texas, all the military posts in that State, together with the military stores, consisting I of guns, cannon, atnuultion, horses, forage, I public monies, .Lc., valued at more than a million of dollars, and stipulated further fur the Immediate departure of. his troops I from the country. When intelligence of the action of this officer reached Wash ington, the President appeared to share fully the general surprise and in dignation which it excited, and did not hesitate ut once to order his dismissal from the army. This order was drawn by myself, and when presented to the Presi dent, he promptly approved It, with the ex ception, as I now remember It, of a single word, which, by his direction, was stricken out. It may be added that, months after wards, I received a bitter and menacing let ter front Twiggs, denouncing me for the terms In which the order dismissing him had been couched ; but in this letter he made no allusion to the President as having di rectly or indirectly, iu any degree, yielded his sanction to the conduct which had led to his dismissal. The Conyiction is decidedly enteric,ined that the declaration which you mention, and which is so disparaging to the late President, was made in total tnieappre• pension of the facts. Very respectfully your obedient servant, J. flour. 'rho Value of Emigration to Ea Mr. Banks told us last winter that, since 1790, the European States have furnished this country with upwards of 0,500,000 of their citizens, who, with their descendants, now cumber above 20,000,000. This Is a startling fact, and it brings us at once to an appreciation of the power and wealth we have derived from this great influx of for eign element, because it is tangible. As these twenty millions are to the whole pop ulation, so is the ratio of benefit secured by their coining compared with the general aggregate of the national wealth. Mr. Banks yentared the assertion that 'these twenty millions of aliens by birth and ex traction had sent back to Europe $2-50,000,- 000. Hot we infer that he Includes In this statement only those remittances which I have been registered, for it la known that large sums have been carried to Urea) Britain and the Continent by passengers, of which no record wits made and which there 55118 no 1111,1111 S of reaching. It would not be extravagant to suppose that, since the foundation of the republic, :123 or 330 mil lions of dollars have been sent awev from our shores by emigrants and their decend ante. This whole subject of foreign emi gration is one of paramount importance in its relation to the national interests. And though the advantages enjoyed in the past have been large, we have thCsatistaction of knowing that they will greatly exceeded in the future, when the attractions and the op portunities offered to those abroad will be four fold more than they now are. From 1820 to 1830, 244,490 persons of alien birth landed on our shores: from 1830 to 1040, 52,000; from 1610 to 1850, 1,588,300; , from 1650 to 1860, 2,707,624. Septa strides of i increase each decade are marvellous, and cannot be compared with any facts in other countries, for the reason that America is the only nation.which attracts emigration. Some twenty-five years ago one of the writers for Blackwood was highly elated with the fact that between 1801 and 1821 the populati in of England, Scotland, and Wales had increased one million, by unetn plowed Irish seeking work away from home. Indeed, he was so exultantover the event that he fairly challenged anyone and everyone to show a " similar Instance of so great au inundation of inhabitants breaking into tiny country, barbarous or Ile atfirmed tL-o not eyed the tioths and Vandals had attained to such a murk when they overwhelmed the Boman empire. Ile would have been amased, perhapa, could he have foreseen that, within a few years then to conic, over four and onequarter millions of people would take up their effects and journey, not one hundred miles merely, but three thousand and more, over the briny deep, to tnAntil a home in the 'new western republic. What has emir-rat:en clone for us so far this decade, auk what will It do in the future 7 The annual average at presort is not a whit loss than 300,000 persona, That in a temperate estimate. Mr. Banks puts it at 350,1/01.1. By actual investigation it has been ascertained that the emigrant brings between $OO and $lOO with him for every man, woman, and child. The latter sem la nearer correct. We have, then, 3)) millions, of specie mostly, added to the national money resources, and over 75 millions brought in by the emigration from January 1, 1561, to the close of Mt ; or over 01.1 mil lions at the minimum rate of $6O per capita. But we must look further than the money value of the emigrant, and conelcier his pro• ductive capacity. The emigrant le certain ly equal to the Southern negro in this re spec(, and the average production of the latter, even under the incubus of slavery, was set down at $5OO per head per :annum At this rate our ennoal emigration would add 150 mil! year to the cash value of the country. Assuming that from 1805 to 1070 the annual average emigration would , only reach :20,000 persons, we have as the ' result one billion added to the national cash l'or the current decade. The ein ' igrant, though, has actuatilly double the neer° capacity, which makes the annual increa , :ed cash value from Mgt SOIIM3 300 millions. and two billions for the ten years from 1800 to 1570. These figures will give some idea of the benefits we derive from foreign emigration. llgniing E;Frnpriltngrp Due of the greatest hunting exploits that has taken place for many years In this county, came off on Thursday night last in Decatur township.
