Jonks' IIotki., Philadelphia, 1
March 16, 1858. J
Confidence is said to be a plant of slow
growth, the truth of which is fully mado
mnnifiest by tho business, or rather tho want
of business in this groat city. The effects of
tho Into financial crisis are still fult, though
tho causes that produced them havo disop
poared. Money, not bunk paper, but solid
gold and silver, is now more abundant than
was ever known, aud tbo Banks are reluctant
iu receiving all that is offered. In all the
cities large sums are lying idle. The gross
mismanagement and failure of tho Bank of
Pennsylvania has greatly injured the couQ
dence heretofore reposed in the city Banks
According to tho report of the commissioners
appointed to examine the affairs of the Bank
the President, Thomas Allibone, appears to
have had its entire direction. Disown ac
count in tbe Bank shows immenso sums ex
pended. In ono of theso accounts $25,000 is
charged, given as compensation to an individ
nal for services in the sale or the banking
house to tho government for a Post Office,
The following extracts from tho roport will
afford some idea of the gross mismanagement
of this institution :
It does not lake much calculation to per
ceive that in discounting bins in large sums
at G per cent., and selling them from 21 to 27
per cent., there is a great loss, that must be
charged to some account to keep the books
straight. Another cause of loss to tbe Bank
was tbo habit of paying usurious interest on
deposits. The late President of tbe Bank
certifies that, within the last four years, he
paid one firm in Third street over one ban"
dred thousand dollars for interest on deposits
at usurious rnt$s.
Some time during the month of September
last $63,453 50 of tho bills discounted disap
peared, and bave not since boen seen. All
this time the Bauk was doing a large busi
ness, having from twenty-five to thirty
clerks, including tbe cashier and President,
with salaries in tbo aggregate amounting to
over $-10,000 per annum, and declaring divi
dends, never Icbb than four, and usually five
per cent, every six months.
Tbo Bank, during tbe last five yearB, de
clared 47 per cent, dividends on its capital
stock, while wo do not believe tbat after July
1, 1853, it was in condition to make any divi
dend at all, up lo tho timo of its suspension.
We examined a great many witnesses
under oath, and but one person refused to
testify; that was Wm. Kelly, of tho firm of
Robert J. Boss & Co. This firm had largo
transactions with tbe Bank. At times tbe
balances of It. J. Boss & Co., and R. J
Ross, amounted to uioro than half a million
of dollars.
The friends of the Lecompton Constitution
bave sustained auolher sudden and unexpec
ted defeat iu CoiiKresa, on tho vote to lay on
the table tbe appeal from the speaker's de
cision on tbo reports of tho commitees, and
this, notwithstanding all the Democratic
members from Pennsylvania, excepting Mont
gomery and Hickman, were brought into the
traces, and in direct opposition to their for
mer voto on Harris' resolution. What has
caused these inumbors to bnck out from tho in
dependent stand they bud taken, what induce
ments what throats has caused this change
is a matter for conjecture. The prediction
that I made when complimenting Major
Dcwart on his former vote, has been already
fulfilled. I stuled then that it was more
than probublo thut bo would iu the end have
.to yield end vote for the Lecompton swindle.
I rcgipt that his independence has beeu so
short lived. T ho editor of the Gazttte will,
no doubt, brealht; freer and deeper, aud tbe
unpleasant duty of deluding tbe Major from
the attacks of his own organ will do longer
be necessary.
Goveruor Bigler has again beta severely
cross esauiiucd iu the U. 8. Senate in regard
to the discussion of Mr.Toomb's bill at Judge
Douglus' house. Senator Broderick, of Cal
ifornia, asked him if be did not muke speeches
in Kansas, promising thut the Constitution
should be submitted to tbe people. Ilis
answer was evasive.
Col. Forney, in the Press, however, puts
the following question, which will puzzle our
Senator to answer fairly j
Did you not, Senator Rigler, boldly assert,
when iu kunsal last summer, that if the
whole of the Lecompton Constitution were
not submitted to a fair vote of the people.
you would, whenever tbat instrument came
to Congress, "vote to kick it out ?'
JiU you not distinctly assert that John
Calhoun bad made to you the proposition to
submit merely tbe slavery clause, and that
this liilamout proposal yoa bad denounced

The prospect of the passage of the bill for
tbe tale of the State canals to tbe Suobury &
Erie Railroad Company is very favorable.
All admit the Importance of completing tbe
Spnbnry k Erie road, and the impression it
becoming general that the tooner tbe State
can dispose of the canals, the better. The
Philadelphia k Sevbury Railroad Company
will .be recogaii&ed under t cew act. aud
under the title of the Shamokio Valley 4
I olttville Railroad Company. The manage
ment of the road It now in the hands of men
who have the means as woll as tbe disposition
to make it a useful at well at a profitable im
provement. '
The weather has moderated and spring
seems to have come suddenly upon us. The
late snow lo the city was about 13 inches
deep and the streets are yet in a bad condi
tion. Workmen were engaged yesterday Id
grubbing op the ice in Chescut street.
Tbe passenger Railway in 5th and 6th
streets it not only popular hut exceedingly

The receipts average about five hundred
dollars per day.
The extraordinary proceedings in the U.
S. Senate, which was in session from Monday
dood until Tuesday morning, coupled with a
rumor that Senator Green bad stabbed Gen
Cameron, caused considerable excitement in
the city. The rumor proved untrue. Sena
tor Green having Called Gen. Cameron a liar,
mado the amende honorable at tho opening
of tho session to-day by apologizing for his
conduct. This Kansas question has caused
more bitterness and strife than any question
ever agitated la Congress. Tbe Impression
now is that the LecompUa Constitution
cannot bo forced through the House. The
administration is losing ground every day.

Convicted of Liiiei, Tiik New Law. as
Interpreted by Jcduk Heoins. On Wed
nesday week, Thomus G. Price, one of tbe
editors and publishers or "The Workman's
Advocate," issued at Mincrsville, Schuylkill
county, was convicted of a libel on David P.
Brown ond Claudo white, coal operators or
that region, and sentenced to pay a fine or
six cents, too costs ot prosecution, and un
dergo an imprisonment in tbe county prison
or four calendar months. Judgo llegins
charged the jury that the law of 1856, which
allows the truth to be given iu evidence
all cases, is a mischievous innovation upon
law which was sufficiently ample before for
mo protection oi mo uoerty or the press
Under the old law, the truth of a inattei
charged as libellous could not be given in
evidence unless in cases where the official
conduct of public officers, the proceedings of
me legislature, ,vc, was concorned, or when
tue matter published was necessary for pub
lie information. Under the new law, the
truth may be given ns a justification in all
cases, xt was contended iu the argument l
tbe course of the trial that, notwithstanding
tno law or IHIjO allows tbe truth to be give
in evidence in all cases, yet it can only bo
dono wbcro the official conduct of public
oflicors is concerned, or where the matter
published is proper for public information, as
regulated by tbe Constitution itself. This
position Judge llegius thought was well
founded. No law, be said, can contravene or
transcend the Constitution of tbe State.
The Bill or Right e, which is part or the Con
stitution, Gxes tho liberty of tho press, and
declares in what cases tbe t-uth may be given
iu evidenco, thereby prohibiting it by neces
sary implication in all other cases. But tho
law of 1856 goes further, and allows it to bo
given in evidenco in all cases. It is an alter
ation of the Bill of Rights, and, therefore, to
that extent, unconstitutknal. Philadelphia

TUB RESULT OF Alt ACl'IDEKT.
Dnr ramWs Bill rpmomber tbat two per-
sons were killod near Iligbspire, on the rail
rond, during last fall, and that inoso persona
turned out to be regular counterfeiters, and
were also suspected ol robbery at JM luoieiown.
On theso persons were found a variety . of
memorandums, disclosing a largo number oi
names of persons who were considered con
federates in crime with them. Some of them
have since been arrested, tried and convicted
of counterfeiting. Among the last cases we
find ilm fnllnwinff In the LvcominB Gazette:
"From information imparted to Mr. Lloyd,
dint rirt Ktinmnv of this county, by one or more
of the men convicted at the last term of our
court, of consnirins to rob John Lnsk and
Jobu McBride, and of dealing in bogus
monet. that officer felt pretty well satisfied
that tho headnuarters of the eanir was ot
llenry Stcller's, on the Driftwood branch of
tbe Sinnemohoning, iu McKean county. Mr.
Lloyd at once made out the necessary com
plaint, and delivered it into the hai.dsof Ed.
P. Helberton, with authority to cauBe tbe
arrest of the culprits.
Mr. Helberton left this place on Sunday
afternoon, the 31st ult., and traveled without
slopping to rest, longer thou while procuring
a change of horses as they became worn out,
until he reached McKean county, where he
procurod tbe necessary warrants and assist
once, and started again for the objects or his
search. He arrived at Stcller't about 6
o'clock on Tuesday morning, wbcro bo took

seemed very likely to be unavailing until at
last, a suspicious board was discovered, upon
removing which, be round a lurge quantity oi

SrtATR Mr Wio nf -!, .,l from California (Mr. Broderick) to describe
K.nsMV&uAdrrdIfe tt't "hP t' lt the manner (referring to the trernor) in which
charges of aggression open the South, and
contending that the aggression is all the (Tib
et way. In this connection, he charged the
seizure of Texas and her admission into the
Union (in flagrant violation of tho Constitu
tion of tbo United States) as an enormous
agpreBsion upon me rights or the forth.
Mr. Wado next entered into an elaborate
defence of the laborers of the Notth from the
aspersions of tho Senator from South Caroli
na (Mr. Hammond) and others. He pointed
to the achievements, as recorded in the Pa
tent Office and elsewhore. as evidence of their
civilization and genius. It was Dot, he said,
on tbe proB',rate necks or such a class tbat
a Senator from South Carolina could erect
his system of society. He might as well at
tempts to moke his bed in hell, or erect his
edifice over a volcano. Nor was it necessary
for the South to send its threatened mission
aries to the North to teach such laborers their
power. They knew the value or their votes.
1 heir interest in tbe state and all that con
cerns good government is the same as all oth
ers. As to tbe degraded class alluded to oy
the Senator,, he admitted their existence.
But be contended they ore mostly rorcignera
the sweepings of tbe old world, ignorant and
vicious, but nevertheless good i'emocrats,
and tbe principal supporters of slavery now
found in tho North. Slaves in their own
country, they naturally attach themselves to
slaveholders in this. Mr. Wade next passed
to the Supremo Court, commenting on its
lred Scott decision, and asserting that us
dictation can bind no one excepting suitors
in their own courts. Then addressing him
self to Mr. Hammond's boast, that the slave
holders had ruled this uation for sixty years,
be admitted Us truth, but contended that it
was only through tho aid of thut most despi
cable of the men tho northern doughfaces
a type of men not new in tbe world, for Mo
ses encountered them in the wilderness, where
turning from the visible glories of tho almigh
ty, they fell prostrate to worship an Egyptian
calf. TheBe men hungered after the flesh
pots of Eevpt. They were national men.
They were not Northern men with Sontbern
he (Mr. Biclerl made the explanation.
Mr. Broderick said be owed it to the Hen
ate and to the Senator from Illinois (Mr.
Douglas) to Btate tbat, tome days since, when
it wat understood tbat tbe Senator from Ohio
(Mr. Wade) Intended to allude In this matter,
mat the senator Irom Illinois intimated that
he would denounce the statement on this
floor as a falsehood, if the Senator from Penn
sylvania (Mr. Bigler) did not qualify it.
Mr. Bigler Nothing of the kind is on re
cord, the Senator from Illinois said no such
thing.
M r. Broderick Thon this Is a question or
veracity.
The Vice President reminded the Senators
to keep within the legitimate limits or the de
bate. Mr. Biglor The Senator from Illinois ne
ver said any snch thing 1 He is not the tnun
who would do so I denounce what, sir, is a
falsehood. T e Impression on my mind was
that Kansas wat to be admitted without the
popular vote.
Mr. Broderitk The Senator from Illinois
is sick abed. If ever he takes his scat again,

Mr. Broderick then moved to take up the

ator from Georgia, (Mr. Toombs.) two months
afterward, introduced a bill of a like character
containing no such clause. Both bills were
sent buck to the comnntteo on territories,
the Chairman of which subsequently reported
the bill which was afterward, passed by the
Senate.
Mr. Bigler, of Pa., hero ro9P, apparently
agitated, ond amid somo confusion occasion
ed by Senators requesting Mr. Wade .to
go on, ho said that ho regretted that a
defence of his personal integrity had acuin
been forced upon him. W hat uo said wuen
this question came up some weeks ago, he now
reasserted, namely, that nt a pnvnle meet
ing, held ot Ol r. UOU2IUS nouso, previous to
the introduction of Mr. Toombs' bill, it was
determined that, in view of all the difllculties
surrounding the question, it wDuld be better
that no provision to suumit the i.onsiituiion
should bo inserted in the bill, and it was his
understanding, that tho Convention which
the bill proposed would make a Constitution
and snud it to Congress, without submitting
it to the people. And that be remembered
very clearly the subject was disenssed in tho
house of the Senator from Illinois. He was
not suro that Mr. Doujrlas participated in
tho debate, iu which it was argued that under
all tho circumstances there ought not to be
proviso in Mr. Toombs' bill requiring the
Constitution to he snbmitted. He did not
soy that a distinct proposition for the submis
mis?ion of the Constitution to the people was
discussed, but did say that, on tbe occasion
referred to, the impression was conveyed to
his mind that the intention of Mr. Toombs'
bill was to bring Kansas into the Union by
ono popular vote ; that vote being the one
for delegates for a Convention. Mr. Big
ler again referred to bis intecrity. saying
that be represented a proud and noble peo
ple, lie reiterated the statement thut the
impression left on his mind was clear that
Kansas wasto ba brought in with ono vote,
mitted to tho eople.
Mr. Wilson, of Mass., asked the Senator
if he did not make a speech in Kansas last
summer, advocating a submission of the Con
stitution to the people?
Mr. Bigler That is very pertinent. I
have not boon in the habit of makiug speech
es in Kansas. Once I did address the peo
ple on Kansas, when I said that tbe Constitu
tion should be submitted to a vote, but I bad
do question in view excepting tbat of slavery.
Mr. Broderick, of California, moved that
Mr. Douglas be sent for, or tbat tbe Senate
adjourn tbe further consideration of the bill
till Mondny. He remembered very well tbe
circumstances when this matter came np be
fore. Tbe Senator Trom Pennsylvania, (Mr.
Bigler) then said he did not have a very dis
tinct recollection, but thought that such a
discussion at alluded to bad taken place,
when theSenator rrom Illinois (Mr. Douglas)
distinctly denied it.
Mr. Bigler He did not.
Mr. Broderick That it my improssion, sir!
Mr. Bigler Your impressions then are
wrong. He wat careful and guarded in the
statements be made. Tbe Senator rrom Cal
ifornia (Mr. Broderick) icekt to place tbit
matter in a false view before the Senate.
Mr. Broderick My memory must be very
troachereut if tbe Senator rrom Pennsylva
nia it correct. But 1 bope the Senate wilt
now adjourn, and when tbe Senator from Illi
nois it in bit place, we tball know whether
tbe Senator rrom Pennsylvania it correct or
not. My impreetion wat tbat be did deny it.
1 thought rrom tbe tremor tbe Senator exhi
bited wben be rote, tbat be wat aboat to take
back all tbat be had laid.
Mr. Pugh, of Ohio, thought heeould relieve
tbe Senator from Pennsylvania, (Mr. Bigler,)
from tome embarrassment, by ttaling tbat
wben the matter first came np, be, aa tbe
friend of both tbe gentleman from Pennsyl.
ania, and tbe gentleman from Illinois, bad
broagbt them together, wben bit (Mr. Pagh't)
impression wat tbat Mr. Bigler wat correct,
tbat tbe conversation alluded to transpired in
another part of tbe room, where the Senator
from Illiueit did not bear it.
Mr. Bigler What tbe Senator from Ohio,
it necessary to continue it any further.
You may use this Gentlemen, as you think
proper, ond permit nitfto remain.
Yours very truly,
