A DELUGE 08 PAMPHLETS
In One regard the days of the Society of The Rights
of Man in Paris, and of Fielding in London, are
being reproduced in New York. I refer to the rage
for political pamphlets. It had its inception in the
issue of " The Gospel of Peace, according to St.
Silice then, the war of the pamphie.
teer 'has been waged with virulence and increasing
vigor. "The Copperhead Catechism," "Abraham
Africanus," and a multitude of thin, consumptive
volumes have been issuing from unknown presses;
in with similarly suggestive titles ; some keen and
satirical, _some merely vituperative. The supply
seems no more than commensurate with the demand.
It is a characteristic of the feverish politics of the
city, this craving of the public appetite for hotly
spiced debate; and a characteristic of the fever
Which exists not only in polities, but in gout
lation, in legitimate business, in metropo
litan life itself. All this is unwholesome, but we
live in unwholesome days. Au excitement par
taking of the character of desperation seems to be
the motor of every action. II drives the dance, the
SpeettlatiOn, the political Ethnic To every goal we
gallop in an infernal race; we, the literal uamocles
of the century, with a sickly season striking us
down by scores, a mine in our harbor which may at
any moment bring about a total eradication of the

in the men of the avenues, and poverty and priva

ceaseless cry of Laud ; politics means intriguU;
patriotism is celled bigotry, fanaticism. It is not,
therefore, an obscure reason which has led to this
sudden growth of pamphleteering. The newspaper
iA too contracted, too fastidious for the taste of the
times. Party feeling needs a wider and deeper con

the pamphlet. Complete impersonality is more con

The laws of libel do not reach the pamphleteer, be•

the solution of the pamphlet's effectiveness, and its
constant employment as a mean, of malignant po

Mr. Hawley D. Clapp having addressed aVetition
to the Legislature, in which he sets forth that he is
improperly confined in a sumptuous casemate at
Fort Lafayette, Gen. Dix has replied at length in a
communicssion to the legislative investigating
committee. Mr. Clapp, it is charged, was deeply
involved in the recruiting frauds practised
• soma
time ago at Lafayette Hall. The execrable conduct
of the brokers connected with that rendezvoushas
already been described in previous communications
to The Frees. ,Suffice it for the present purposes,
that the hall, from first to last, was the scene of kid
napping and swindling ; that recruits received mere
pittances of their bountimi; were drugged and
threatened, and deceived. lan Clapp, it is stated,
had a pleasant habit of receiving "from three hun
dred _to three hundred and fifteen dollars," all of
which, according to the General, went into his Ca
pacious pockets, and there remained. "With what
confederates the money was divided," the General
goes on to any, "he and they only can tell. I have
considered it enough that it was received by him,
and not paid to the recruits who were entitled to
it." What abominable despotism it is, that con

The ease of Mr. John W. Hunter, accused of ma
tom-house frauds, is creating no little excitement in
legal and general circles. One of its most peculiar
features is the evidence given by Mr. Cisco, of the
Sub-Treasury. It may be remembered that Mr.
Hunter is accused of having drawn cheeks payable
to fictitious firms. The ground of defence is that
they are forgeries. Mr. Cisco, in identifying the
signatures, declared, in effect, that, by no possibili
ty, could he be deceived in the matter of signatures
with which he was familiar, and that, were the most
responsible men in the city to swear in Opposition
to his own judgment and identification, he would
not believe them. Here are some of the results
of his cross• examination: "Mr. Cisco, do you
know Moses Taylor?" "Yes." "Have you
talked with bim about this subject?" "Yes, I
have.", "If Moses Taylor, if Mr. Coe, the profit.
dent of the American Exchange Bank, should
say that this was not Mr. Hunter's handwriting,
would that affect your decision?" "Not in the
least." "Well, Mr. Cisco, if they should say so,
and fifty - experts and bank men, who are familiar
with his hand, should say the same thing, would that
alter your mind?" "No, 'makeup my judgment in
dependently." "Mr. Cisco, it amen should turn
evidence, end should come here on the stand,
and swear under oath that he wrote those himself,
would that shake your opinion ?" "Not in the
least ; I - would not believe such a man."...i In order
to provide a commentary upon the singular posi
tiveness of the witness, the defendant's attorney
handed hint a signature, asking him "Mr. Cisco,
is that your handwriting?" He replied, "Unques
tionably !" "Does it alter it any in your judg
ment that it is blurred a little there?" eh Not at all ;
it is unquestionably my handwriting." Unfortu
nately, however, it was nothing of the kind; but
had been prepared for a test, at the instance of the
defendant's attorney.
The Times comments with sober severity upon the
obstinate belief of the Sub-Treasurer in his own in
fallibility. • Certainly it is, to say the least, rather
singular that Mr, Cisco should indulge in such va
nity, when unable to detect a forgery of his own
handwriting.

Mayor Gunther is about nutting off the eorpora
tion advertisements from many obscure sheets in
which they are now uselessly published, This pa
tronage for political ends, has been, and is now, the
support of not a few papers, whose circulation
might, comparatively speaking, be counted upon
the fingers. Indeed, there have been papers started
merely for the purpose of filching from the public
purse by the publication of these advertisements,
and when the Mayor shall have closed - this avenue
.of sustenance they will perish. The work of clean.

strenuous opposition of the corruptionists in office.

A DANGEROUS VOYAGE.
On the evening of the let inst. the right wing of
the 25th United States colored troop sailed to the
steam transport Suwanee from Philadelphia for
New Orleans. Coming to anchor in the evening
under the °epee, the weather was so foul that we
did not again sail until Sunday morning, when the
barometer indicated a change for the batter. Sun•
day afternoon we passed the protruding topmast of
some vessel, which must have recently foundered,
ac it bore no barnacles, and the broken cordage
looked fresh. During Sunday night the wind fresh
ened into a gale, which sometimes reached the
climax of a hurricane during the following three
days, creating a very heavy and dangerous sea. The
ship labored heavily, and was so strained that on
Wednesday morning she was found to be leaking
badly, and at one time it was feared that the fires
would be quenched, and the pumps (upon which de
pended the salvation of all on board) would be ren
dered useless. Col. Scrogga formed his men into re
liefs to work the hand-pumps and to bail, so that,
early in the afternoon, the water in the hold began
to bereduced. Upon the discovery of the leak Capt.
Catharine, of Philadelphia, the commander, beaded
the ship for Beaufort, and crowded on all possible
speed,

TESTIMONIAL
BoAurora, N. 0 , April 9, 1864.
To whom it may concern: We, ithe und.erstgeed,
oilicrrs of the 9.5 m United 'States Colored Troop*,
who made the passage from Philadelphie to this
port on board the steam transport ~, u rvanee, with
the troops, take pleasure in bearing testimony to
the able aeamensLip and gentlemanly bearing
of Captain J. W. Catharine, commander of the
ship during the votage. Amidst the many perils
we encountered Captain Catharine manifested a
coolness, courage, and capacity many older officers
of greater experience might feel proud to emulate.
During the five violently stormy d aysthat we were
in the passage he had but a single opportunity for
taking an observation of tha sum yet he made Cape
Lookout and this port, which he mashed at to
o'clock at night, with perfect precision.
The vessel, we believe, would have performed the
parsage to New Orleans in safety bad it not been
tor the violent storms she encountered, and it was,
in our opinion, beyond the power of human skill to
have navip,ateu her during the passage more atilt,
and brought her safely to port in better condition
than she has been. This testimonial is presented to
Captain Catharine without his solicitation, and
without his knowledge of its preparation before
receiving it.

Bill to Prohibit Speculation in Gold
Mr. SHERMAN called up the bill prohibiting specula
tive transactions in gold, etc., as published in Fester. ,
day's proceedings. He said the object of the bill was to
prevent gambling in gold. The committee d/tight that
thin at .hie time had an injurious effect, and that the
Bale of gold by a party who had no gold to bell was an
offence. This offence was being daily committed by
parties when they have not one cant to sell. He pre
sented the following letter from the Secretary of the
Treasury on the snbjoct. In a letter to Mr. Feseendee,
chairman of the Ph:1511100 Committee, ender date of

Mr. SHERMAN said that, though the Committee of

remedied by tbis bill would be so, he was certain, how-
ever, that the bill might do good; and could de no harm,
The true remedy for our evils, as alt knew, was the sae.

Mr. FESSEDID.ISN advocated the bill, and said it might
tend to cure an evil which existed, because of the desire
of some DaYtgekat to Malta money et any expense to the
country; and again, as he was sorry so say, because
there were many amongst us who caltivsted a hostility
to our currency because they sympatnized with our sue

impossible to repress tide entirely, but he thought the

wak well known that there were in many of our large

methods to break down the contittence in the Govern

Mr. JORESON, of Marylstad, made a legal argument
to show that it wan not competent for Cengrete to under
take to regulate this matter, as it was a matter aelely
belonging to the States. If, as alleged, i; was a crime to
rambie in gold, it was to be punished by the lawe of the
States. He denied our authority to regulate State banks
under the Constitution. Gold had become a. article of
trade and contract, and the States should regulate it as
such. This bill further proposes to regulate for,ign ex
change If we have power in Congress to do this, why
may we not extend it to b mds, stocks, promiaeory
note!, sic., and thus regulate the entire business of the
States? This bill wonld not be a success perm %neatly.
because these specalatort, itudead of having their

twsen the two conntries.
tor. STEVENS. of Pennsylvania, thought that they
had abandoned the system of subsidies. We tried it
with the Collins line. and abandoned it. leaving every
thing open to competition, as it °ultra to be. If it were
even prolitsble, it seemed to him thLy ought not again
to resort to it at this time, when gold is at a premium
ranging from fifty to one hundred pir cent , and when
the public expenditures were three millions of dollars
a day.
211 r. ALLEY said the gentleman misapprehended the
bill It proposed to give for the service not exceeding
$150.000 per annum, provided Brazil would pay an 5q114.1
amount. There Was no subsidy; no p aiionlar line in
reiected, but the service is open to fair competition.
Mr. &LEMON remarked the bill did not merely provide
for cultivating portal and commercial commanicatbm
with Brazil, but with intermediate points, and he briefly
showed the adv an tag es of the bill.
After further proceedings fdr. STEVENS moved the
bill be laid upon the table. This was disagreed to by 30

Air. MIERts, of Bedford, rose to a pardons] explana
tion. The statement bad been made yesterday by the
gentleman from Philadelphia (Watson) that the destruc
tion by. Are of the property of an enrolling officer, in Bed.-
ford county. was owing to the teachings of a paper of
which he (Myers) was proprietor The charge was but
the repetition of an electioneeting achame, and was a
gross insult and a faleehooa. This fire occurred in a
cownehtp which gave Mr. Lincoln a majority of 111 in
IStO, and which. in the spring election of 1854, gave rhe.
Democrats 05 majority. Those who asserted that the are
was the work of some person either allied to the Demo
creel , or in sympathy with the South, proved themeelves
to be fateiftere b e not being able to name. produce, or
convict the: incendiary. The comae of the 13edford
Gazette, the Taper alluded to had always been to sup
press any insurrectionary spirit, and it had asserted
that. as the conscription law was one of the laws of tee
land, is should be quietly submitted to as such.
Mr. WATSON inquired whether it was true that the
paper bad said of he enrolling officers that they would
rather live a peaceful life than die a peaceful dew:a.
Mr. MIERt• raid that when a gentleman asked him a
question be would reply.
Mr. WATtiON said that the person whose property had.
been deetroyed. and mho was as officer of the Govern
ment, had. received a warning that vengeance would be
vieited upon him and too others This was why the
barn was burned, and this was the legitimate resatt of
incendiary teachings

Harper's Magazine for May.
This number closes the twenty. eighth half yearly
volume of one of the best, and certainly the most
largely circulated, magazine' in the world. The
whole series is a library in itself. The May number
hoe two additional chapters of "Denis Duval,"
Thacheray's posthumous novel three chapters or
Anthony Trollope'e new story, (to be concluded
next month;) four other illustrated articles, of
which the beat is ' 1 Life withthe Eequitnaliß r seve
ral short stories, a couple of poems!, and the Month
ly Record of Eveate, Editor's Easy Chair and
Amusing Drawer. In the article, "8 Suppressed
Princess," some one has sold the editor of "Harper."
The assumption of poor Mrs. Sevres to be "Princess
Clive of Cumberland," (backed as it was with dosn
meet■ which contradicted each other, and bore in
terne/ ■s well as external evidence of forgery,) had,
long since been exploded, and Mrs. Ryvve,
the poor Pretender's daughter, has precisely
the same pseudo evidence, and no more. Near
ly five years ago, when -Mre. Ryves's pre
tensions were first made public, The Press ha well
bow threadbare they were. The absurdity Of George
111. signing "George Guelph," when Prince of
Walley, is very obvious, but not more so than the
great Lord Chatham signing " William Pitt," in
1768, as a Commoner, he having been created Earl
and Viscount two years before. Just as ridiculous is
the idea of the late Duke of Kent bequeathing £lO,-
000 to the pretended Princess, literally having noth
ing to leave, when he died, except debts, which his
widow and daughter finally liquidated. To match
this, is the mention of "a etatu paper dated June,
1815, bearing George signature," whereas eve•
ry schoolboy knows that George 111. finally became
incurably insane in December, 1810, soon after be
came blind, and never recovered reason or sight.

The gold market opened weak, and early in the day
the price Pr gold fell to 171 X. The idea ie erevatent that
Secretary Chase is at work in New 'York, and, by means
of telling gold, foreign exchange, and paying the May
coupons, he is alarming sPeculaiors. There is probably
cOlllB truth in this, and his power is becoming manifest,
and we commend this fact to the croaking editors who
chatter of Mr. Chase's inability to Deform his promisee.
Mr. Mare waits his time, and when he strikes it is to
