Adjourned. THE FIRST WARD CONTESTED ELECTION CASE. —This case was resumed yesterday afternoon, at 5 e'clodlr, the respondent commencing his case. Joseph R. Lyndon (City Controller), sworn— I have the pay-rolls of the First Ward of the Supervisors; rolls produced] there are three of them; I have that for October; one from Septem ber 80th to October 12th; there are twenty-four names on the roll; William Gwinn, A. Parker, T. Sparks, J. Clifton William Gwinn, Jr., George Robertson, J. Smith, William Long, A. Wynn, H.] Cope. It. Boyd, Robt. Marshall, - Wm. Jolive, John Williams, William Brown, 'John Co; George Bettie, E. Pere, Lewis Duffield, John Gleason, Thomas Clifton, H. Sears, John replin and George Rivel are on this roll. The roll from September let to 28th contains the names of William Gwinn, A. Parker, Thomas Sparks, John. Glifton, Thos. Haines, Samuel Jones, James Sidons, Tiles. Haines, William Long, A. Wynn, H. Cope. Robert Boyd, Robert Marshall, Wm. Jolive, John Black, John Cox, George Beitier, E. Peiroo, Lewis Duffield, John Selaeon George Haines, George Johnson, Wm. Boyce,William Miller and George Rivel. Mr. Mann—lt is alleged that $24 was drawn Of the public money for Mr. Stein. Is his name on that roll? Mr. Brooke—There is no such allegation. Mr. Mann—That was understood to be the allegation, and wo_ propose to prove that no such money was paid, and then prove that every man on that roll was a bona fide man, and did the work'Which is charged. Mr. Brooke—l desire to argue the case at the proper time. Mr. Stein testifies that Mr. &w -ringer employed him to work on the road; that after the election he was paid $24, and that he did not work on the road. 'lf the allegation that Mr. stein did not receive the money from the City Treasury Is to be rebutted, it is to be done by proving that he did not receive the money. We all know how easy it is to place another name on the roll. The person _who engaged the par Ties would not be so stupid as to place their Lames on the roll. The best witness for this pur pose is Mr. Sterringer, and put him face to face with the men who swear that they received 'the money from him. If the counsel will produce these twenty-four men on that roll, It is certainly part and parcel of the case, but the roll itself does not prove anything. Mr. Mann—There was testimony that a roll was called, and the committee was asked to be lieve that it was a roll of the city. Brooke—Let him produce the men on the pay roll, and if they'are not the men who were here,"that settles that part of the case. Mr. Mann to witness—ls there such a name as Stein, on that pay roll? Mr. Brooke withdrew his objection, and the withers answered that there were no such names as Stein, Hardy. Justice, B. F. Gwinn, Slavin or Smith, except the last as J. Smith. The next pay roll is from October 14 to Novein her 1, and has on it William Gwinn, Jr., Richard Patterson, George Rivel and Thomas Henderson; that is all. Cross-examined—These rolls are approved of by the Commissioner or Highways, together with the affidavit of Mr. Peake; there are no other pay-rolls of the First Ward on record in the. office; not of the Highway Department; the Water Department has a pay-roll; I was only asked to examine for the Highway Depart • gent. Mr. Mann called the attention of the Commit tee to the amount on the rolls. Whore in any one instance has anything like the sum of $24 been paid to any individual? Mr. Brooke—Mr. Lyndall, will you be kind enough to bring the rolls of the Water Depart ment? Mr. Mann—He is not your witness. Mr. Brooke—Do you object to that? Mr. Mann—Certainly ! You could have sub penned Mr.LyndalLand had these rolls long ago. Mr. Brooke—Still I would be obliged to Mr. Lyndall, if he would produce these pay rolls. Mr. Mann—And I would be obliged to him to do nothing of the kind until lie is regularly sum moned. Ido not wish my case interrupted in that manner. Samuel Peake, sworn—l am supervisor of the First Ward; (pay rolls exhibited) I identify these t:F.. my pay rolls; the parties named on these, rolls did the work for which they were paid; there is no name here that represents Mr. Stein; neither directly nor indirectly; none of these are in an other name; the names truly represent the men enrolled, and them alone. Cross-examined—l know all the persons on this roll; I knew them at the time whon they worked for me; would know them; I employed them individually; I know Mr. Sterrlnger; he did not bring me any men to employ; he' gave me no names of men to, employ; he was not connected with wy department; be was not authorized by me to employ men; I know where all these men yin tlds_roll are; I lad no _arrangement of any akirid - ivitli - Mi. - Bte - nb - ger about men to be em ployed- Captain Connor (City Comrnlasioner)—l have the Assessor's book of the First Ward, contain ing the extra assessment. Mr. Brooke objected to the introduction of this extra assessment, inasmuch as at the outset Mr. Mann bad objected to an inquiry in regard to this matter, and the committee sustained this ob jection. Mr. Mann said he bad no objection to the other Fide recalling Mr. Hardie, the witness referred to, and to prove in what name he was assessed, and the Committee could see whether It was on that list After considerable argument Mr. Mann Bald he had not yet offered the book, as lie first wanted Mr. Morrison's, the assessor. Mr. Morrison was not present, and proof oi l the service of the for' if was made and at tachment asked if any power existed to issue one. no Committee decided there was no power to issue an attachment. Mr. Mann stated that as he was required to use due diligence, he had made this appli cation. Edwin A. Merrick, sworn—l vote in the Sixth Division, First Ward; recollect a man named Henry Brown voting; hoard his testimony before this Committee; when be voted ho came with .$ party of men, and I challenged him on age; ho handed in his ticket, and it was taken by the in spector inside, who was somewhat nervous, and he said to him what do you shako so for, I ain't going to hurt you; he was sworn in the regular way and his vote taken; he gave no voucher; ac cording to the heading it was a Democratic ticket that he voted; no effort was made by those con nected With the Democratic party to prevent him voting. Captain Connor, recalled— We accepted this extra assessment book from the assessors of the Ward. Mr. Mann stated that he felt it due to the com mittee to_say thal his further testimony_ would not occupy more than two hours, but he did not wish to have it examined before the question was determined in regard-to the power of the com mittee to issue an attachment, as the case might be closed. Ho preferred to have the committee meet from day to day,and formally adjourn until the decision of the Supreme Court is announced. If the Court decide that an attachment can issue , time ought to. be allowed to got them in, and after this the respondent would be ready to,close his case. The committee decided to adjourn to meet from day to day until Tuesday next, at five and a half o'clock, when the ease will be resumed.

There is a gaper called The Sentinel-on the-Border, issued at Louisville, Ky., and edited by Alfred S. Kierolf, which is rapidly overtaking, in its peculiar notoriety, the La Crosse Democrat, which claims to be the leading Democratic journal in the West. We clip a few paragraphs from the only copy of The Sentinel that we have seen: "THE FIRST DEMOCRAT "Democracy is a religion in itself, drawing its inspiration from the fountains of Truth, Right and Justice. Hence, to be a Demo crat is to be a good man—a lover of good governnient, the friend of a fraternal union, the champion of law and order, the advo cate of peace! It is asserted often that the Democratic party_was • organizedin-1800, and came into power the following year. This is a mistake. Jefferson was not the author but tb ep rom °ter of Democracy. The glorious and unconquerable principles of Truth and Right upon which it is based had their birth centuries before God sent his second son to America. Christ was the first Democrat, and his twelve white Apostles the first converts to Democracy ! The Demo cratic creed is spread upon every page of sacred, moral and natural history. It is the sister of Masonry, going hand in hand, to plant the seed of fraternity and good will among men! It is the champion of the rights , of the many against the tyranny and power of the few. So was Christ! It i 9 the friend of the poor and oppressed, and sympathizes with the weak and powerless. So did Christ! It seeks to build up, not to tear down. This. was Christ's mission !• It asks justice for all men, and equality - among the brotherhood. So did Christ ! Its mission is for the salva tion of the white race. Such was Christ's. He did not affiliate with the negro! He worked with white men for the benefit of white men ! Of all hfs apostles and asso ciates, not one was a nigger!" ABRAIIAM LINCOLN- AND JEFFERSON DAVIS-A COMPARISON "Lincoln and Davis were the chieftains of contending principles and communities. The first was the head of the Federalistic element, the other of State Sovereign Democracy. By the power of numbers, the one triumphed and the other fell, so far as principles may be said to fall by the. defeat of armies. The one was an unsettled, shifting, vulgar, rollicking man —the other serious, grave, dignified and deter mined. The one was a Plebeian by nature— the other a nobleman. As between these con testants as men, the rise and fall of armies his done little else than to , bring them out into stronger contrast. The triumphant party is now dead—he fills the graVe of an unwept tyrant, and will be execrated the more as the wheels of time roll on, fanning the chaff from the wheat. Lincoln cared nothing for the triumph of principle—he was satisfied with the din and clash of the hour. And so, at the sacrifice of principle and the nation's honor in an hundred ways, he triumphed over his op ponent. What are the results secured by that bloody triumph ? What questions are settled? The States are further from union now than ever—the people are bound under a monstrous load of oppressions and tyrannies, and are at last, and not unexpectedly, cursing the being whose triumph was their ruin! How stands his opponent ? Bowed with the sorrows of his peoplo„ he may still stand erect over the grave of his dead foe., and ex claim, "Shake not your gory looks at me;" "Thou did'st it!" Had Jefferson Davis sac rificed those principles %ion which his people went into the_ struggle, the arrogant North, and not the'South, would be the stricken land. Had Jefferson Davis ' 'departed from his determined "defensive warfare--:-had -he enlisted the slaves of the South in, his aridOs, under the flag of emancipation' in '62, the North,would have been a smokink slaughter pen f But We banner of his peopletad been thrown to the breeze, and under its waving folds he and blt people fell together in a Spartan embrace History will yet vindicate the truth, and'Jefferson Davis, the statesmen, lcholar and hero, will outlive an hundred incolns on those pageiof his country's his tory,where are enrolled the names of the peerless and true, the noble and self-sacri ficing!" SOUTII !CAROLINA. Important Discovery of Smuggling in G eorgelown—Wholetrale Arrests and Seizures of Books and of prominent Merchants. CHARLESTON, Jan. 21, 1868.—Mr. J. H. Wiggins, special agent of the United States Treasury Department, and well known in your city in connection with some.extensive Custom House frauds, arrived here a few days ago and has made very important arrests, in cluding some twenty or more of the most pro minent merchants and highly influential citi zens of Georgetown, S. C. Last Sunday, Mr. Wiggins chartered the steamer Planter, and, accompanied by United States Marshal Epping and a constabulary force, visited Georgetown and arrested a pro minent public officer, several merchants, their employes and others. He also seized the books and papers and the shipping in port on the charge of smuggling. The party returned to this city with the books and papers of all the parties, besides seizing on their arrival the books and papers; of a large warehouse in this city. Most of the prisoners have been released by giving $lO,OOO bail. The ease comes up for trial before Judge Bryan on Monday next, and promises to be highly interesting. One vessel, a schooner, with her cargo, has been seized, and the United States revenue cutter Captain Baker despatched up the coast to seize others. The books and papers of a prominent house here have also been seized. The port of Georgetown has had the repu tation years before the war of being one of the best and greatest smuggling ports in the United States. The .present arrest has pro duced a startling_effect. It is _hoped he has broken into a "ring" of smugglers, who have no doubt been keeping it up for the last year or eighteen months. gioVJEMENTB OF OCEAN BTE.AJELE/Ml4 TO AR HIVE.

Jag. 29tb.—There bee been a ru mor afloat here to-day, which Ms occasioned considerable comment, to the effect that the Pre sident has determined to veto the bill suspending _farther contraction of the currency. It has been regarded as quite signifiesut that the President Des withheld the bill already over ono week, without returning it to Congress. Your correspondent is enabled to settle, not from any rumor beard, but upon most excellent authority, that this bill will be vetoed, upon the ground that it Is a wide and fatal departure from the road to specie payment, and, as as an adifo cote of a speedy resumption of specie payments, the President cannot give his consent to it. He believes it would be highly inj urious to the welfare of the country at largo or this bill to become a law. The some authority from which the above statements were obtained also states that the President feels confident that the bill cannot be passed in both branches of Con gress by a two.thirds vote.

The Committee has signified its willingness to hear any statements the delegation may have to make. It was expected that they would wait upon the Committee this morning, bat they have been holding a meeting at one of the hotels, and have not yet presented themselves at the Committee room. There is considera ble difference between the manufaetnrers and dealers from the East and those from the West, as to what suggestions concerning the tax on their business should be made to the Committee. The object of the meeting to-day is to settle this difference. There is not much pros pect, so far, for an agreement. The National Hanks. [Special Deepatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.—There is a manifest dis position upon the part of the House to curtail the privileges and emoluments of the National banks.

The extent to which this has been carried was partially developed by a communication from the -Secretary of the Treasury in reply to a reso lution offered by Judge Kelley, of Pennsylvania, +aver a month ago. It ap ears by this report tinL:averaga_bal - -tholastAsigllatee, months of Government funds deposited with the liationaleßanks has been aboutl3o,ooo,ooo, and that certain favorite banks have held an undis turbed ;balance of from a half Million to two inilllon.of dollars, to lend on call or Invest in Government bends.
