Almost the worst fate that could befall a statesman or -a . party is to occupy an ex- Planutory or defensive position. That has been the misfortune of the Dem.oeratic leaders all through the rebellion ; and when they tiled to change front their dilemma leetuce even more pitiable. They are :lust now impaled upon their votes s.:iteches against giving thanks to Ge neral Cri:ANT and against allowing to .A.ar -tmEIY Jonxsori the privilege of speak ing h the legislative halls of Pennsyl vania. Transfixed by this fatal record, their efforts to be released from the tor turing punishment of their indifference or hostility to the two great champions of the liepul 'lie in :military and in civil life, are unutterably ridiculottl They now say that the Democratic leaders in the Senate refused to -vote the resolution honor g Cen.enti 'GRANT because the Senate could rat effect an, organization! This ls the excuse seriously given by The Age of yestErilay.

I know, sir, that Andrew Johnson line gone as far as the farthest, and is ready to go still further to destroy, to uproot, to upturn every principle upon which this great and good Government of ours was founded. I know that ho has bent with sup pliant knee before the throne of power. I know that for pelf, or some other consideration, he as succumbed to every measure presented to him for approval or disapproval; and I know that, in speed/wt. de/tutrgd in the capitals of other States, he has enunciated doctrine: which, if adopted by the .veopie of the great North, would be subversive of 2 ndividuaifreedom and, ervona/ rights. Sir, by no votebf mine can any person holding such views address the people of Pennsylvania in this chamber. NEVER, Sts, NEVER, so long as 1 have a right to forbid it?, We need make no other Democratic quo tations to prove the hypocrisy of these leaders, and to show how inextricably they are involved by their insane denials of the bitter malignity they entertained toward ANDREW JOHNSON. Why not go down on their lames at once and beg pardon for slandering the man they now cover with false praise ? HON. ji://llkt B. HASKIN, the architect and engineer of the platform adopted in the re cent Democratic (New York) State Con- Ventivo, addresses a letter to the editor Of the Herald, from which we take the "fel lowing extract : "I state that just before the organization of the committee in my room at the Delavan House Mr. Calvert Comstock, one of the committee, formerly of the Albany Argus, requested me as the chairman, to invite Mr. ldarble, on the World, and Mn Cassidy, of the ArgElB,•to attend and participate in their proceedings. I replied that they were not members of the committee - that the commit tee would first organize,and ' after they had con sidered and digested the resolutions proposed he might invite Messrs. Marble and Cassidy before them for their suggestions and views. These gentlemen did not, however, come be fore the committee. Upon the organization of the committee I read for its consideration eleven resolutions, handed to me by Mr:Com stock, and which had been printed upon slips in the Argus office. Eight of these, after being discussed in the committee and amended, were adopted, and three of them—one on ar bitrary arrests, military courts, suspension of habeas corpus, &c.; another in favor of dis banding the army, abolishing military bu reaus, de., and another in favor of abolishing United States revenue collectors and asses sors, and of conferring the performance of their duties upon State officials ; and still an other endorsing the Ohio, Pennsylanvia. and NewJerSeyplatfOrnie—the committee had the good sense to reject, as foreign to the living issues of the approaching State campaign. The ninth resolution of the series adopted, - the one heaktily endorsing President John son, I had the pleasure to propose and ask to be incorporated in the platform, and which, after some opposition wasiadopted. Rut with this resolution the distinguished gentleman named in the World article had nothing what ever to do. Indeed, as Mr. Calvert Comstock, before the platform was submitted and voted upon by the convention, desired me to omit this from the series, I suspected that some of these gentlemen were opposed to it. I know he urged in the committee that the cold en dorsement of the President's "restoration pa hey," contained in the fourth resolution, was a sufficient allusion to and endorsement of him. I differed with him, and advocated giv ing President Johnson a cordial and magnani mous support, as well for his past as his future constitutional measures, and with the assist ance of Messrs. Jones and Childs, of your city delegation, .carried the committee with mei and thus this resolution was adopted. "During the night the resolutions were adoptpd by the committee Mr: Marble dropped into my room and examined them ; after doing which lie desired to know what the committee had done with the other resolutions submit. ted, prepared jointly by Mr. Tilden and him self. I informed him that the committee had deemed them redundant, and rejected them. "The Committee on Platform are entitled to credit for amending the resolutions submit ted, and for cropping out of them those which were unnecessary for making the platform symmetrical, comprehensive, and strong, and for the last resolution, frankly and honestly endorsing President Johnson. I know that some of our leaders,' so-called, desired a simple endorsement of him, divide and conquer the enemy but with me the para mount idea—and it induced me to gato the con vention, in view of the curse of the Chicago platform—was to avoid the Bourbon Vallan dighamism of the Ohio, the Jerry Black Pm chananism of the Pennsylvania, the Camden and Amboy Rip Van Winkleism of the New Jersey Democratic platform, and to give Pre sident Johnson a sincere and hearty endorse ment to make him the great leader of the people and of the Democraticr party, as his great prototype, Andrew Jackson . , was of old. yassociation with and knowledge of Ptak. dent Johnson during the thirty-fifth andthirty sixth sessions of Congress gave me opportu nity to know that he was, as aDeraocrat con servative, as a statesman able, and as true a Union patriot as lives. With the• United States Senate, controltpd by New P.iigl.and fanati cism, and sectionalism against him (as it was against Jackson), I felt and know that it is the duty of the Democracy of this State and of all the States to come generously and manfully to his support in his great work—the pacification and restoration of the Union." It will be seen that Mr. Misktrz, who was one of the Democrats who• fought the organization when JAMES BUCHANAN' at tempted to make his Kansas policy a test, and who was re-elected to • Congress from a heavy Democratic district in defiance of party usages, forces the present leaders in this issue to give up • their, copperheadism and come squarely out for the policy of PreSident JOHNSTON. The. New York World tries to show. that everything was satisfactory to it and its satellites at Alba ny, and the same view. was- taken by the SETMOURS, CASSLDIEL and others of the ex treme sympathizing_ school. From Mr. HAMNIN'S letter, however;. it appears that their peculiar and offensive doctrines were deliberately rejected by the-committee, and only those resolutions afterwards adopted in convention which .proved that the lead ers who had led, the Democracy in defeat must hereafter take a back seat. LETTER FROM" OCCASIONAL." WASAINGTQN„ September 21, 1865. After the celebrated Dr. Samuel Johnson had completed his. great lexicon, com menced and continued in the midst of the ridicule of his enemies, and the doubts of many 01 hishest friends, he was congratu lated by Lord Chesterfield in two essays in a periodical. paper which, by a strange coincidence,. was called the World. This tardy and condescending tribute, although couched in language of characteristic refine ment and politeness, aroused the ire of the great philosopher, and recalled the almost in gurnomaitahie obstacles against whichhe had to contend for so many years, before consum mating that great production which still 'stands as a monument of his genius and perse verance. He exclaimed to his friend Gar rick and others, " I have sailed a long and painful voyage round the world of the English language, and does he now send me out two cockboats to tow me into liar. bor ?" The letter he addressed to Lord Chesterfield on the subject, in itself a model of composition, may now be reproduced for the purpose of illustrating another class of gentlemen, who only see the merits of a great public character when he has reached the highest position after the most terrific struggle. I accordingly subjoin it : To TUE EARL OF CHESTRAFIAD, Ficsaynwr, 1755. "My Loan: I have been lately informed by the proprietor of The World that two papers, in %via& my dictionary is recommended to the public, were written by your' lordship. To be so distinguished is an honor, which, being very little accustomed to favors from the great, I know not well how to receive, or in what terms to acknowledge. " When, upon some slight enCOUragelnent , first visited your lordship I was Overpowered, like the rest of mankind, by the encliaatrnent of your address, and could not forbear to wish that I might boast myself 'le vain queur du vainqueur de la terre , —(the con queror of the conqueror of the earth)—that I might obtain that regard for which I saw the world contending; but I found my atten dance so little encouraged that neither pride nor modesty would sutler me to continue it. When I had once addressed your lordship in public, I bad exhausted all the art of pleasing which done =courtly scholar can possess. I hadall that I could, and nO man is well pleased to have his all neglected, be it ever so little. " Seven years, my lord, have now past since / waited in your outward rooms or timee -pulsed from your door ; during which I have been pushing on my work through difil .culties, of which it is useless to complain, and have brought it at last to the verge of publi cation without one act of assistance, one word of stiCouragetnent, Or One smile of favor. Such treatment (lid not expect, for I never had a patron before. "The.. Shepherd in Virgil grew at last ac quainted with Love, and found him a native of the rocks. "Is not a patron, my lord, one who looks with unconcern on a man struggling in the water, and when he has reached ground en. cumbers him with help? The notice whioh you have been pleased to take of my labors, had it been'early,had been kind but it has been delayed till ent and cammt am indiflor enjoy it; till I am solitary and cannot impart it; tin I am known and do not want it. I hope it is no very cynical aspperity not to confess obligations where , n 0 benein has been re', Ceived, or to be unwilling that the public simuld consider me IS OWing that to a patron which Providence has ens led One tO dO /Or myself. - S ' Having carried on my work thus far with so little obligation to any favorer of learning, I shall not be disappointed though I should COnClude it, U less peadDle, with DM for I lurm in en long 'Wakened from that dream* of hope An whiehl once .boasted rayaolf with CO' ninth exultation. Ely lord, your lordship's most humble; most dbudient servant, "SAM, JOHNSON.," Without asking whether Andrew John son inherits the stubborn courage and lofty genius of his great namesake, I think I may claim thee is a good deal of resemblance between the rebuke administered by the distinguished urea iitajoo , to a presumptu ous and complacent nobleman, and that which might, with equal force, be admin istered to those political courtiers who waited for more than four long years.of war, before they discovered that the patriotic Tennesseean, the first to strike boldly and fearlessly against treason in the Senate of the United States, and from that hour the constant and heroic opponent of the rebellion, sacrificing his fortune and risking his life that his country might be saved, was entitled to anything but their most cruel scorn and malignity. It may be said, without qualification, that no public cha racter has been so unserupulously.maligned as Andrew Johnson by the leaders of the Democratic party; and he who addresses himself to the task of collecting the random specimens of their vituperation, will be startled at the fertility of their epithets and the exhaustless stores of their hatred. The most remarkable passage in politi cal history is that which records their contemptous silence in December, of 1860, (at a time when a bold, strong denun ciation of the - reuemon u. E nt been hailed with grateful applause by all patriotic men,) when Andrew Johnson ter rified Jefferson Davis and his fellow-conspi- - rators by unmasking their plots, and call ing down upon their heads the vengeance of the people. The indifference of the De mocratic leaders to that cxbibition is per haps the best proof of their hearty sympa thy with the authors of the subsequent re bellion; for when Andrew Johnson first spoke in the Senate, it was after having in the previous month traversed Tennessee in favor of Jolm C. Breekinridge, the Southern candidate for President, who was also supported by the mass of the Democra tic party in the free States. But that fact did not extract a single word of cheer from any of the men who then, as now, had the destinies of the Democratic party in charge. This want of / sensibility to a demonstration which touched the national heart everywhere and taught the traitors themselves that they would not be per mitted to achieve an easy triumph over the Government, was but a promise of the af ter hostility of the Democratic leaders to Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee. And it is a curious tact, that the malevolence of Jo. Lane, when he replied to Johnson in the Senate, and the drunken diabolism of Wigan, were equalled, and in many cases surpassed, by the vindictive vitupera tion of these leaders, when after the adjourn ment of the Senate in 1861, Andrew John_ son continued his noble career in Tennessee, subsequently again in the Senate, then as Provisional Governor, appointed by Mr. Lincoln,-and at last as the popular cham pion of the republic, in his several journeys through the border and free States. They neither abated nor abandoned theirfierce an tagonism to him when he was placed on the ticket by the Union National Convention at Baltimore as the Vice Presidential candi dklate in connection with Mr. Lincoln. The acceptance of that honor eonfirmed,. for it could not increase, their former hatred of his character and his principles: -The spectacle is now presented: In a little more than seven months after the rcinauuration of Mr. Lincoln's Administration, and. in a little more than six months after, by reason of an act of unspeakable inhu manity, he is himself called to the Pre sidential chair, the Democratic leaders of the country are making support of Andrew Johnson and of his policy the foundation of their political platform, and the star by which their future movements are to be controlled ! It is in precisely this place that the noble letter of Dr. Sam. Johnson to Lord Ches terfield may be read and applied to these modern Pharisees. There would be some reason, some explanation, and, indeed, some congratulation for this exhibition on the part of men thus suddenly enlightened, if they had acted in a moment of peril, if their friendship came to assist their country in its hour of despair, or if they based their eleventh-hour support upon the decent pretext of being properly peni tent for that continuous factiousness which, after the machinations of the rebels themselves, did so much to embarrass and cripple the national cause. But, curious to say, not content with assuming to be the real friends of President Johnson, they class as his enemies all whom they call the radicals . of the country. And this, too, when the fact is not only of historic but of notorious record, that no Measure, no matter how radical, how extreme, and how startling, adopted to suppress the rebellion, from the beginning of the war, has ever been questioned, much less opposed by Andrew Johnson of Tennessee. Nay, it was be cause of his sympathy with such measures, and his identity with the men who origi nated and pressed them, that the invectives of the Democratic leaders to which I have referred were hurled in such merciless profu sion upon his head. It is equally true that the reconstruction policy which these same politicians affect now excluSively to Support, had always been Andrew John son's principle and platform, but was never recognized as entitled to their confi dence until he became President of the - United States. There is, then,.left for these leaders a sin gle excuse ; and that is, that they agree with Andrew Johnson in opposing negro suf frage: But even here they stand upon the weakest ground ; for Andrew Johnson is not opposed to negro suffrage, as the Copper heads assert that they are. He is simply op posed to the interference of the Executive or of Congress, in what he believes to be purely a matter of State concern. • Enter taining a natural doubt as to the propriety , of c i pferrtng this sacred franchise upon un- trained and uneducated millions, he has. never declared that if the ,people of the. States, respectively, decided to bestow it upon the colored race, such a decision, would be opposed in his official pacity. Nor does the great Union party at his back take issue with him here. There. are exceptions now, as.always. There are violent and unreasoning men, who, be-. cause they cannot induce the Presi dent to act upon their counsel, are dis posed to weaken and antagonize his: administration. Nearly the same. men, antagonized Mr. Lincoln, and .I, believe the surnefate which overwhelmed their oppo sition to him will refute and dissipate all their objections to Andrew Johnson. That the people of the United States have not seen and do not seethe double profli gacy and dissimulation of these Democratic leaders, it would be madness to believe. But woe to our country, which, is now in the forefront of the 'grandest future ever opened to any people, should it confide its policy and the administration of its govern ment to, men who have won an ignoble fame by standing bi the way of those mighty results by which a defiant insur rection was crushed, and the only re public on earth reserved for immortal en durance. The statesmen who stood firm during these four years, the heroes who successfully combatted the traitors, and the powerful party that rallied round and strengthened both—that wore thetitimoners of our soldiers and their families in the darkeit hours of the rebellion, and the staunch stay and rampart of our servants in civil life—are alone competfoitt to con duct and to conclude the ;eighty mission pr the American people..

The Government has shown a pro per disposition to afford the prisoners fair opportunity for his defence, having: thus far subpoenaed about seventy witnesses,- thirty of whom have already arrived ato Washington. This is not all that the prisoner; through his counsel, desires. He wants witnesses sought after and brought to this city, but this ) -it ap pears, cannot be clone for the want ofmoney— only about seven hundred dollarsin all having been subscribed to assist him. SOVOral wit nesses deemed important have left here; not having means at hand tq pay their ordinary expenses.' Under these circumstances both the prisoner and his counsel seem despondent, while they attach no blame to the prosecution. To-day one of the witnesses who was-recalled by the Government testified to acts•of cruelty committed by JAMES DUNCAN', a part of'whose business was to distribute bread +among the' prisoners. Mr. Mtuen objected to the etatenaintoinless it was shown that Duncan . was coupled' with the cruelties charged against the 'prisoner at the bar. The court informed the counsel , ' that the Commission was trying a conspiracy. The witness then testified that Dummy kicked and beat a man who stooped' to• pick np a piece of bread, and that the victimkof the unmerciful treatment died several days after wards; and, also,,,that the same D'unce.n simi larly served a poor haltwitted fellow when he came with his wagon, on another occasion, to give out bread. The witness was asked to point out DUNCAN in the court-room., which. he did. A short time after these proceedingeaguard approached DU CAN and informed him.that he was now under arrest, by order of the court. This lean was subpo3naed as a witness for the defence, and has appeared in the court for several days past. The Freedmen The npedmen's Employment Agency has been officially instructed that, in-disbursing supplies to freedmen in the District of Co. lumbia, a discrimination should be. particu larly made between the dependent and those who are natives or residents, in order that the latter may be required to look tothe-proper municipal authorities for aid. This action seems to have become necessary in conse quence of the large number of negroes who appear to think they are entitled,to.Groyern raent supplies. Idaho.

The State.of'tbe Crops. Hen, ItSAAC NEWTON Commissioner of Agri culture, authorizes le- following statement as to the condition .off Me crops on the Ist day of September: WHEAT, OATS ANH,IXAY.—The wheat crop has received no additional injury from the wea ther since his moat of last month, but the quality of the crop is not good, especially in the Western States, where it was affected by blight and rust, ea well as by the wet weather during harvest. Of the old wheat' on hand there. is not: ea much as was supposed in the hands of farmers, for much of it was bought in July and August in the Eastern and Middle States. There was but,-little at any time du ringthe latter part of the summer. The outs asap received no great deal of info. ry from . Vac) wet weather and it may be re garded,as one of the, largest oats crops ever raised in this country. The injury to the hay in the West is very great. In the East it received but little da mage from the wet weather. Generally the quality is good, except in. the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Missouri. Conzr.--This Crop, owing to the continued heat and moisture of the weather, has escaped material injury. On account of its weedy con dition in the West it may be regarded as the greatest crop yet raised in the loyal States. Tonacco.--Its condition was favorable, the weather helping it 'very much; but as re. ported last month, the amount planted is much less than last year, especially in the largest tobacco-producing States. SOIWIIUM, like the corn crop, is excellent. BUCICWREAT.--If not injured by 9. premataro frost, this drop will be good. POT.A.TOne.—In many localities there were indications of the rot, and in some places the prop was much -injured by it. The continued hot and moist weather since the first of. Sepi timber occasions apprehensions that this disl ease may prove very injurious; but still the yield may be good, as the amount planted was so much greater than waist 110Ps.—In all the States, except New York, the hop has ripened well ; but in, that Statetit has sustained an injury of 4 4-19tha froul IP& The Crop is, therefore, injured, seriously r for in 1860 New York produced nine and three quarter millions of the eleven millionsbushels raised in the whole country. • norm .It.ti'D Gs.annes.—These were never better.

The St: George's completed their first innings, malting 67 itgainet 115, made by the Young America. The latter then played their second inning, making 65 SECOND DESPATCH Nnw Irons, Sept. 21.—The cricket match ter minated M favor Of the Young America, by a score of 180 to 119. When the stumps were drawn on Wednesday the St. George's had three wickets to fall, with a score of 51. This (Thursday) morning they added 16 runs to the score, pemeroy having to retire without losing his wicket, owing to his having had a finger broken with a ball from Charles New hall. Pomeroy was well in at the turn, and apparently good for double figures. At half past eleven o'clock the Young America, began their second innings, and a good defence was shown at the bat. The improved bowling ren dered the run getting rather difficult. Harry Wright, especially, being well on the stumps. Finally, in two hours time, the whole eleven were disposed of for sixty-five, although the fourth wicket had fallen for forty-three. Double figures were scored by George, Charles and Daniel Newhall and Davis, the lat.. ter showing the best defence and Daniel New hall the liveliest batting. There wag a draw for four byes, Daniel having the best hit of the innings. At 2 1 /, o'clock P. M. the St. George's went in to wipe off the score of 114, and average. At the fall of the second wicket there was promise of a favorable result. Afterwards they fell off in play, and were finally defeated for 52, - Bainbridge's score of 21, not being out, being the 'finest display. He and Charley Newhall carried off the honors of the game at the bat. The match was a very agreeable one and a most creditable victory for the Young Ame rica Club, who did what no other club has done this season, won a ball from the drat ele ven of the St. George's Club. Next week the St. George will play the Philadelphia Club at Camden. The match between the Young America and Willow clubs will not tare place.

In referring to the conduct of Captain Wirz, he said that he " was glad to find the state of things around Andersonville to be such as he did," and re. commended Captain Wirz as being a very me ritoffious and efficient officer, doing his duty, and doing it well. He said to the Confederate troops around him, "Look over into that stockade"—pointing his linger directly to it— " go• leek over there, and compare your selvesr with those Men, and go home and kiss your wives and sweethearts, and see if you cannot gain yOur independence further said, in connection with the graveyard and the treatment he would give to the prisoners : " I would treat the prisoners here well ; I would feed them well ; I would care for theirs his voice, when he said he would Care for them, assumed a stentorian tone ; he spoke harshly, and as if with deep meaning, pointing at the same time with his hand to the graveyard; as if meaning that that would be the care he would give them ; the speech was received with some hurrahing, but not so en thusiastically as I have seen speeches received in other places, Ambrose Spencer, residing nine miles from Andersonville, testified that he visited the prison every month, and had ample opportu nities of ascertaining its condition,whieli was as wretched and degrading as the mind could well conceive ; the odor from the stockade Could be detected at a distance of two miles ; that section of country was well supplied with mills, both forg-rain and lumber ; it was proba bly tie most densely wooded of any in the United States, and as to fertility, he believed Southwestern Georgia was regarded as the garden spot of the Confederacy, and from which immense , quantities of supplies were drawn for the army ,• there was an uneom men large supply of vegetables in the sum mer of 1864, Boni& of which were taken from Americus to Andersonvilie for the use of Confederate officers ;• the witness had know ledge of the ladies in the neighborhood gathering clothing and food for the relief of the prisoners; General Winder, in the presence of himself and - wife, and several other ladies, said, with an oath, that "believed the whole country was- becoming Yankee," and that he would "be d—d if he wouldn't put a stop to it, if not one way he would another ;" the witness replied; that "the exhibition of humanity was no evidenee of the fact of that assertion;" Winder said it was a slur on the Confederate Government, and; a covert attack upon himself; the witness informed him that the supplies were forwarded at the request of Rev. 111 3•, Davies,when General Winder replied, "that's a d—d he, as for himself he would as soon the d—d Yankees should die thereas any where else; he believed it would be better ;" General Winder's language, on that occasion, was utterly unfit to be repeated in the pre sence of ladies, but the • meaning was that he could very easily Make loyal women of them by putting them in a• certain conditiOn. In a subsequent conversation with. IL. It Winder, Lieutenant Reed, and • Captain , Wirz Reed ob served that, if General Winder had done as he wanted him to do, he (Reed,,would have made a good speck out of the clothing and supplies. Captain SirhY. said, if .he had hia own way, he would have a house built for certain infamous purposes, in which he would place those bene volent women. R. B. Winder concurred in this remark by laughing. At the laying out of the prison, W. S. Winder was there super intending. The witness- asked. him if he was not going to erect sheds and shelter, and why he was cutting down• the trees,. to which he replied: "I am going to build the pen so as to destroy more damned. Yankees than can be destroyed at the front." General J.ll.Winder alwaye swore whenever the name of Ander sonville was named. Tno witness described him as-bereft of feelings of humanity —in fact a brutal man. . . Dr. B. J. Head, who was on duty aasurgeon at Andersonville in July and August, 1864 tes tified in relation to affairs at the hospital, in cluding the, sufferings of prisoners from disease, and for the• want of proper diet, shelter, and medie'ines;,men would often die for the want of stimulants ; when he visited his home at Americus .ho mentioned to his wife the sufferings of the prisoners, and she went around the town. and, gathered con siderable supplies, which Were forwarded to Andersonville; Gen. Winder expressed him self as glad that such things had been sent ; this cleared the wayfor a second contribution, which was largerthan. thefirst ; the third time his wife went aboutthe country, and gathered - proviSiorci and clothing, and some of the ladies went up with them to the Andersonville depot Lieut.

Winder got out of his chair, turned round and said: I do not know how in the hell and damna tion there are so many syinpatbizers for the damned Yankees?' to this the witness replied, " this is only a mission of charity and mercy fi when G'ert. Winder exclaimed, " every damned Yankee sympathizer and damned Yankee ought to sink into hell ;" when the train came down with Confederate soldiers the provi sions were distributed among them, and the ladies returned to their homes. Charles H.

Samuel M. Riker testified that prliOners •were• robbed at Richmond before they were conveyed to Andersonville; at the latter place .the Government equipage was taken from the 'soldiers, and also money over a certain amount; :Duncan was on duty in more than one capaci ty; be was in charge of the bakery and cook. - house, and was also a government detective .under Captain Wirz. E. G.

(Wirz) would shoot him ; the sentinel then fired, the bail taking effect in the man's head and killing him instantly.

The Atlantic Mail Steamship Company has sold to the Pacific Mail steamship Company all the steamships owned by it, tad the route from New York to Panama, and has received payment therefor in one million dollars of old Pacific Mail stock, and one million dollars Of the new shares. The Atlantic Mail Steam ship. Company, therefore, owns one-fifth et the stock of the Pacific Mail, including all its properties, franchises, and interests in the California and China trading or elsewhere. Besides these, Atlantic Mail has a large aniaint of cash in its treasury, and will retain, in permanence, its charter and organizotion to form steamship lines on routes that do not compete with Pacific Mail. The two com panies continuo under the old arrangement until November 1, and under that At/antic Mail receives three-tenths of the receipts on the California route, paying alt expenses on this side of the Isthmus. After November 1, Atlantic Mail will receive one-fifth of the net profits from New York to San Francisco, There seems to be little doubt that the pro, position to establish at the great financial cen tres—New York, Philadelphia, and Boston—a plan for the redemption of the notes of na tional banks Will meet with no success, and the committee appointed at the meeting of bank officers, in New York, on Tuesday, will probably be obliged to report adversely to the expectations of those who have advocated the project. The fact is, that the regular custom ers of the banks, and, to a great degree, the stockholders of these institutions, have lied enough to pay out of their profits, in former years, through uncurrent money, and they need money for their goods which wilt pass at par. If the proiSOZod system of rode/net/M. were established, it would not be long before , quite a number of the interior national banks, would be represented as inferior ~ to their neighbors. Their bills would be depreciated, advertised in the market as at a discount of one-fourth, one-half, or three-quarters per• centum, and all this discount would be shaved by the uncurrent-money broker out of the business men of New york. This has been the case in inrmer times, and it has been a great evil, which would be gladly escaped from in the future. Drexel & Co. quote : New United States lionds, 1881 10744 105 U. S.
