One of our’exchange papers has a para graph wineli ‘'convinces us that in “ The Far West,” which, only a few. years ago, was re garded as. the .uitima Tliulo of civilization, there is, at' least, one sensible man. The para graph runs thus: ; , ■ : The prosecuting attorney at St. Paul, Minne sota, has <iecideB[ that whore a man only-passes one counterfeit bill, and cannot bo conviotcd of having passed'u uuinber, or being' a counterfeiter by pro fession, heis ejcempt'from prosecution.” , Human nature is much too apt to indulge in suspicion 1 ;' Let a man, tho most innocent in the,world, accidantplly present a forged bill, -in payment or for change, and, the mo ment its, worthlessness is discovered,, every one, drops down on him as if he wore a criminal —a regular counterfeiter—an uttorer of false notes—a. thorough scamp, who lives by fraud. We'are "'too'much in the habit of looking it th'e dark sido 'of things; ‘of fancying that there mmt- bo „a dark side, to of taking for granted, should the tiniest, c'oud come be tween us-,and the moon, that, the Queen of Night is,eclipsed. Let an imputation be cast upon onr neighbor’s character, and instead of manfully stating our disbelief, wo suifer suspi cion to darken onr mind; we yield, almost with out a struggle, to the insinuation, andalmost in. Voluntarily adopt , it. Many and many a man has been, condemned by public as well as pri vate opinion, within. ton minutes after a charge has bcon made against him. Nineteen times out of twenty, to accuse is to condemn. There is nothing extraordinary in this. Hu man nature is by. no means perfect, and the tendency of this imperfection inclines us to the .worst. Such things, are daily done in the world, bo totally wrong, that we doubt even of what is right. A man lives, for years, before tho searching nnd critical eyes of Society, bearing himself in the most estimable manner— to all appearance moral, religious, charitable, honest—and we suddenly hear that his career was but a living lie, that he had committed heavy frauds or great defalcations. Two or three, times, within our own knowledge, such a thing occurs, and then Suspicion comes in— suspicion of all who Seem good, because of the badness of a few. We become illogical as well as' distrustful, judging by particulars in stead of generals. We cannot help it. Mark, too, how apt the mind, having got this bias, is to increase it. One of the penalties of Celebrity is that'it becomes a mark for ob loquy. Tho more eminent a man is, the more exacting is Society as regards his conduct. What may bo light and trivial in an ordinary person, grows into matter for grave comment, insinuation, accusation, reproof, should he be come noted. Strangely and strongly does the mind act as inquisitor on the notions of the great. Their defects arc • magnified, their good deeds, taken as simple matters of courso, pass unre garded. Their foot may slip as they walk the path of daily life, and rumor rapidly exaggerates the accident into a heavy fall, assigning disgraceful habits as the cause. Bitterly, hut truly—for he had himself experienced what he described —has Byron written on this subject, in refer ence to Sheridan — “Theorator, dramatist, minstrel, who rati Thro each mode of the lyre, and was master of all.” In. hia Monody on the death of that most brilliant but erraticnmn, who was a giant in the days when great men walked the earth, Byron has these lines; Hard is his fate oh whom the publie gaze Is fixed for over to detractor praiso ; Itoposo denies her requiem to his name, And Folly loves the martyrdom of Fume The secret enemy whose sleepless oyo ' • Stands sentinel—accuser—judge—and spy, The foe—the fool—the jealous—and the vain, The envious who but breathe in others’ pain— Behold the boat! delighting to deprave, Who track tho stops $ Glory to the grave, Watch ovory fault that daring Genius owes Half to the ardor which hia birth bestows, Distort the truth, accumulate the lie, And pile tho pyramid of Calumny. All this time, however, we may appear to have forgotten that sensible man, and humane as sensible, tho district attorney of St. Paul’s, Minnesota. Not at all. His decision led us to ( * improve tho, occasion” with a few com ments, Even with a chain of circumstances, with connected liuks of evidence against the accused, the law humanely believes him inno cent until he be proven guilty. But, espe cially in the caso of passing or attempting to pass counterfeit money, it would seem as if, in most places, the simplest suspicion suddenly gains vitality. One swallow docs not make a summer, says the adage, and so a single coun terfeited note ought not to constitute a crimi nal. From Madeira—The Grope Failure—lntroduc ' tioD of the Catawba. * [Correspondence Boston Traveller 1 Madeira, Saturday. July Madeira has lost much of its prestige flinoe tho cholera of last summor, which carried oft ten thou* sand persons. The English avoid it this year, which is a drawback (bitegaiety. The failure or the grape has given it' another blow, and produced n groat deal of poverty and distress- The Portuguese say, .however, that it baa beontff service to the island, aa the people have turned their attention to the production of grains and tho sugar cane, and are •no longer ‘under the 'dominion of English wine merchants.. -This year there is not a grape on the island . and all hopes of overcoming the blight are given tip.

About 4 o’clock, a man named Dennis Sullivan called at tho farm-house of Mr. Joshua Hibbard, who resided a short distance from tho railroad, and sought rofugo from officers who he said wero pursuing him. After suppor, of which ho par took, Mrs. Hibbard had occasion to go to a neigh bor’s residence, and upon hor return, ton minutes aftonvurds, found her husband strotohed upon the floor and stabbed in a horriblo manner. Tho neigh bors wore immediately callod, and a physician summoned, but the unfortnnato man almost imme diately expired. Search was at once made for ttm murderer, who was soon fouud in a field in that vicinity. ’ When taken, ho had a bloody sword in his possession, tbo sheath of which wasdiscovered near the body of his victim. The instrument was the property of Mr. Hibbard. Tho prisoner was immediately brought to tho jail in this city, wherehe arrivod shortly after midnight. Sullivan is an Irishman, about 23 years of age, and stated that he had been employed in the Os wego River Starch Factory. Mr. Hibbard had been; until recently, a resident of this city.

The first section of the act of March, 1857, adopts the enumeration in the several schedules of the tariff of 1846, with suoh exceptions as are made in the subsequent provisions of that act. LeooheB were specifically,designated in schedule Eof the tariff of 1816. They aro not transferred by name to any othor schedule of the tariff aot of 1857, but the comprehensive terms in schedule I of that aot of animals living of all kinds, must, in tho opinion of the Department, be held to embrace “ leeohes,” and transfer them from schedule E, in the tariff of 1840, to the frte list in schedule I, in the tariff of 1857. Your decision is, therefore, overruled, and the articles in question are entitled to entry free of duty, under schedule I of the tariff of 1857.

Sir : TbeDepartmenthasunderconsiderationan appeal under the sth section of tho act of March, 1807, taken by Messrs. N. Mitchell A Sons, from the decision of the collector of the oustoms at Boston, os to tho rate of duty to be levied’ on an artiole invoiced Bs“ Wood’s patent dry or boiler felt,” entered by them at that port on tho 22d ult. The collector imposed duty at tho rate of nine teen per cent, upon tho article in question, as a “manufacture of hair, not otherwise provided for,” under schedule D of the tariff of 1857. The appellants claim the entry of tho article free of duty under tho classification in schedule I of tho tariff of 1857, ua “ felt,- adhesive, lor sheathing vessols,” or as an unenumorated article subject to duty at the rate of fifteen percent. Tho article in question Is a felt, but not an “ ad hesive felt, within ,tha meaning of the law; nor does it appear to be now, or ever to hare been so known and designated in commeroe. On tho con trary, it is known and designated, as invoiced, “ a dry on boiler, felt,” being chiefly used in the paoking of boilers. The article known in com merce as “ adhesive felt, used for sheathing ves sels,” contains tar or pitch ; while the artielo in question is hair cleansed and compressed, but un mixed with, any other substance to give it an ad hesive quality.. It is unquestionably a manufacture of hair, and falls under tho designation in schedule D of “ Ma nufactures of hair not otherwise provided for,” and is chargeable with duty at the rate of 19 per oent. Being thus designated in schedule D, It is, of course, not a nonenumeratod article, as suggested by tho appellants. The decision of the collector is affirmed. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, Howell Cobb, Sec’y of the Treasury. A W. Atstin, Esq , Collector, Boston Felt. Treasvby Devauvmext, Aug 25, 1857- Sm: An appeal has been taken from a decision of the collector at Boston, by John Dwyer, Esq , as to the rate of duty to be oharged on an article im ported by him on the 10th inst.. into that port, in tho barque “Lyman,”from St. Petersburg.and in voiced “ folt.” The collector assessed duty on the article in ques tion as a manufacture of hair not otherwise pro vided for,” at the rate of nineteen per cent , in schedule D, of the tariff of 1857. The appellant olaims the article to be entitled to entry free of duty, under schedule I, of the tariff of 1857, as “felt, adhesive, for sheathing vessels.” The article 13 found, on examination, to be hair worked into felt, uncombinod with any other ma terial. It is alleged by the appellant that it is exclu sivoly used for “sheathing vessels.” It may bo so; but it is, nevertheless, not the article known In commerce as “felt, adhesive, for sheathing vessels,” of whioh tar or some other adbesivo sub stance is always a component material. Tho collector’s decision, assessing duty on the artiole in question, at the rate of nineteen per Cent., as a‘ c manufacture of hair, not otherwise provided for,” under schedule D, of the tariff of 1857, is affirmed.
