The Mechanics’ Bank, of tnis city, which partially resumed specie payments some monthfi ago, resumed in full within the last few dayß, and will continue to pay specie in future. We record this fact with pleasure, and have no doubt that all the suspended banks of this city will soon be found paying coin. «Xtiß well understood among business men that the suspension of the Pittsburgh banks was not induced by any weakness or mis management on their part, but was solely a consequence of the banking system, and was precipitated by the suspension of the banks of Philadelphia- When the banks resumed specie payments on the Ist of February, 185 H, exchanges in the West were in a much more favorable condition than they are at present. Ex change on the'Eashin Chicago and St. Louis, is still Bold at high rates for the local paper of the Western States, and we suppose this fact will render the payment of specie here more difficult, and has, doubtless, retarded resumption. But our banks have Bteadily made vigo rous efforts for resumption, and we have no doubt that their endeavors to repair and truly keep their contract with the people will be met with corresponding good feeling and forbearance on the part of the public. If there was any use in calling the atten tion Of the wise and virtuous men who are legislating at Harrisburg to the fart that one of our banks has resumed specie pay ment in full, and that the others will proba bly soon do the same, we might do so, with a view to a mitigation of damages and ex penses, to which, we understand, the banks are doomed, for their plain violation of law. Wo shall, therefore, only say, that if the public and the private treasuries can possibly get along without a lift from the re cusant corporations, (and as the hanks, as a body, will probably not want the time for suspension extended)— legislation on the subject might be postj>oned till next winter, when their charters may be declared for feited, if the public good demands it. THE SPRING ELECTIONS. The conservative element is showing its power in the elections recently held. The rttolts are of a most gratifying character to all who desire the perpetuity of the Union. If the local elections in the West and North* west continue as they have been goiDg on thus far they will have an important influence in showing the anti-compromise Republicans what the people expect at their hands. The conservative triumph in Cincinnati is most decided. The entire Union and Demo cratio ticket is elected by majorities ranging from 3,000 to 4,000. Last fall Lincoln received a plurality in the same city of some 800 or 900. This result shows most ccnclu« lively tho drift of popular sentiment in that city. Tho Democratic and Union ticket in St. Louis is elected by from 2.000 to 3,000 majority. This, 100, is a decided gain. Last frll, Blair, an irrepressible Republican* received & majority in the same city. Here is another healthy change in public sentiment. Sandusky City, Ohio, has given the Demo cratic Union ticket about 100 majority; the conservative men of Cleveland, Ohio, give their ticket a decided majority, and in Toledo the Democratic Union ticket is elected. Old Connecticut, also, feels the popular impulse, and elects one Democratic U nion Congressman, and probably two. The Republican vote on the general ticket is also decreased. Die recent town elections in Pennsylvania, show a great revulsion of popular sentiment Some townships which never elected a Demo* cratic ticket before, have done it this spring. The argument of these changes is that people are getting tired of Republicanism, sectional ism, the Chicago platform, and tho disasters with which they have overwhelmed the coun try. THE COUNTY REFORM BILL. Mr. Krrett, of the Gazette, writing from Harrisburg, makes use of the following lan guage, which, of itself, is enough to excite the public attention to the means which are being used to defeat the measures of re form in the management of our county fi nances, which the people so earnestly da. mand. The bill referred to by Mr. Krrett, is the one which creates a Controller and does away with the present dilatory and expensive system of tax collectors. It is not strange that those who have so long held the purse strings of the county, and made usJW their position for political and personal purposes, should be loth to give them up. If the people want reform, they must let the Legislature know what they want, and not permit their own money to be used by their own officials to their own detriment. In regard to the progress of the Reform HU], Mr, Krrett says ; In the House, Ibis morning, the Couuty Ho form Bill was objected off tho calendar by a Phlladelp hia member, and goes over until next week. lam perfectly familiar with tho means used to produce this result, and I know that, afthoogh our members are almost a unit in de siring its passage, and that, although the bill applies only to Allegheny county and concerns BO one outside ol it, that the paid agents of tbs Commissioners, here, expect to accomplish iti deleat. If they succeed in dofeating it, I will lay bare the whole machinery used for at taining that end. _ The Cost of Entertaining a Prosldeut. Mr. Lincoln arrived in Harrisburg on *he afternoon of the 22d of February, was escorted from the cars to the Jones House, where he mfrfa a speech, dined, was escorted to the Cap itol, made another speeob, supped, and then escaped to Washington, disguised with a “Booth plaid cap and long military cloak.”— The select committee which had charge of these arrangements have reported to the Leg islature a bill of $2,165 as the expenses occa sioned by the reception and entertainment.— The State is called upon to foot this little bill. The items are thus staled without going into Iflfnnta particulars: Carnage hire— gaheSuneata At Continental Hotel BUI atOorerly'a- Committee—sloo apiece. £bis nice little bill, be It remembered, does BOt include the expenses of the parade and iltaplay on the 22d of February. That is a separate matter. Before the close of the ses sion another account of two or three thousand dollars may be expected on this Bcore. V - j \ . •- a - { ■ - ! ■ H v, A TRUE VIEW OP THE CASE OF CARL SHUBZ. This adventurer, who was paid by the Re publicans for hia speeches. and who baa been an ** irrepressible bore” at Washington ever since Mr. Lincoln's inauguration, and who has been appointed to the Spanish Mission to get rid of him. and his importunities, seems likely, in his new position, to be a worse ulcer upon the Re publicans than before. The New York Her ald has the following very just remarks con cerning this Red Republican political gambler who has won an office from our Black Repub lican President: Carl Sburz, Mr. Lincoln’s Minister to Spain, the most loyal and inflexible Catholio Power on the face of the earth, will be very apt to prove a troublesome appointment. Shurz, it we are not mistaken, is not only a rabid black republican of the ultra anti-slavery type, but a ranting red republican of the Jac-. obine school, who repudiates the Christian re ligion in every form as an imposture, and who believes in the Goddess of Reason. The Court of Madrid is the last place in the world to which such a man should be detailed as a rep resentative of the government and people of the United States. But, considering the movements of Spain for the seizure and an nexation to her dominions of both ends of the Island of Hayti, what influence can such an obnoxious character as Sburz be expected to exercise at Madrid, in behalf of the United St&teg, one way or the other ? His red repub lican antecedents cannot fail to make his ap pointment offensive to t2’ ieon Isabella and her Cabinet; and with Lhom Li j black republican principles will be hardly less obnoxious. But Schurz had the German legion of the "West at hia Lack, and this is the price which “ Honoet Uld Abe" has had to pay for his whistle. In this connection, wo append the following from the last issue of the Cincinnati Om>n«r rial : The objections of the Secretary of State to appointing uuch a fellow to a first class foreign mission were well taken, and the President should have sustained them. And especially when Schurz lost his self-respect, should others have lost their rogard for him. He should have been sent home to try the experiment ol raising rebellion among the Republican Ger mans as ho threatened. He would have dis covered that the Republican Germans did nut belong to him. If ho had been kicked out of the White House, as he ought to have boon, the Germans would have in turn kicked him out of their confidence. When was he author ized to speak for three hundred thousand Ger mans ? Who gave him a bill of sale for them 7 The recognition of the Gorman element of the Republican party in the distribution of otlices did not depend upon his recognition as the embodiment of the Gorman element "We have knowledge that those most disgusted with the office evoking rampancy of Mr Schurz, are Germans, who regard his course as reflecting discredit upon them His brilliant reputation is gone like a bubble. Washington Items* The letter writers slate that movements are on foot indicating the speedy development of policy of the administration. Greater ac tivity prevails in the army and navy than has been known since the war with Mexico Troops have been placed on board ship with sealed orders, and all the vessels of war on foreign stations have been ordered homo, while at the navy yards orders havo boon received to make ready for sea such vessels as are avail able. The occupation of St. Domingo by the Spaniards is regarded by the government, it is said, as an act of hostility,and it is conjectured that the extensive naval preparations are but tho beginning of a contemplated demonstra tion in support of the Monroe doctrine. A Washington correspondent of the HrraU states, (Tpon the authority of a Cabinet officer, that tho troops sent out on board tho aloop-of war Brooklyn woro really intended for tho re inforcement of Fort Pickens. It is also staled that the government has received advices which lead to tho belief that troops have boen landed at the fort. President Davis has recent ly made a requisition upon tho Governors of the Confederate States for troops. They are doubtless intended to operate against Fort Pickens. At any hour we may have news that the long tfcrealened collision of the bellige rents has actually taken place. The order for the evacuation of Fort Sum ter has not been yet issued, although the Cab inet, as is well known, some days ago decided upon its abandonment. It appears that an immense pressure has been brought to bear upon the President by the war section of the Republican party; and it is not unlikely now that the administration will throw the respon* sibility of the surrender of the fort upon Ma jor Anderson, as he will soon be compelled, by reason of lack of supplies, to capitulate. On the other hand, it is believed the administra tion, while convinced that the fort cannot be reinforced, hope the Southern forces will attack and capture it, and by this action, as they imagine, cast upon the confederate States whatever odium may attach to tho inaugura tors of a bloody civil war. An Attempt Made to Spike the Guus at Fort A letter to the Jfiufaula (Ala j Kx/»nr>.?, from Barrancas, relates the following incident which occurred there: “ A man named Doyle, ono of the workmen at }he navy-yard, slipped over to Fort Pickens a few nights ago, and came very near gelling in before he was discovered. He bad a bun dle of rat-tail flies in his pocket, and says if it had not been for the sergeant holding tho lan tern up to bis face as he was going in the door, ho would have had every gun 6pikod in twen« ty minutes. He was sent back to Sicmmor, with the requost that he be dealt with, as be did not wish to do anything that might bring about a collision, which was so much to bo depreciated. Colonel Clayton sent a note in reply, by the hand of Private Bullock, (who, by the by, has since been promoted lu a cor poralcy,) stating that he would punish Doyle, but just at this timo had t o much need of his services in casting cannon ballv Tho confer ence took place just outside tho fort " Emigrant Travel Tho emigrant travol over the Pennsly vania Railroad, during the year 1800 was somewhat greater than previous years, the total number of passengers in 1860 being 11,*88 A, while in 1859 tho number of seats sold was 15,791. During iB6O, of the whole number of emi grants passing over the road, 7,193 went to points west ol Pittsburgh, having with them 140,807 pounds of oxtra baggage, tho total pounds of baggage for all points 188.C80. Out of the 11,821 passengers, 6,600 were from New York, the emigrants preferring tho Penn sylvania road to roach the West, in conse* quence of tho superior facilities as compared with roads in New York. THE CURRENCY MOVEMENT. The attempt upon tho part of our business men to throw out of circulation the depreciated paper of the banks of other States appears to be working well, and is daily gaining strength. The principle, that if a man earns a dollar, o r sells a dollar’s worth ho is entitled to a wkoU dollar and not ninety-Bix cents, is one which is sound and correct. Let every body refuse to take depreciated paper altogether, and sell what they have to the brokers and it would soon be sent home and replaced by money at no greater discount than the cost of sending it home. .42,116 60 The deposits of gold at the United States Mint from all sources for the month of March, amounted to $6,907,887 57, and from silver to $242,178 82.

Ii:-nmi>E8. Tlit* Supreme Judges. Wo tied tho L-Howing in Urn Harrisburg cor respondence of the Philadelphia Ledger: On Saturday an attempt vs&s made in the tiouße to pass a bill taking from the Supremo Court the power of appointing Inspectors in the Eastern and Western Penitentiaries, and conferring it upon the Governor. The Judges of the Supreme Court have exercised this pow er during nearly thirty years, and it is not al leged that it has been abused, or that the pris ons have not been economically and judicious ly managed. The Court has uniformly ap pointed Inspectors without reference to party. But a majority of the Judges are “locofocos, - ' and that of itself is a potential and conclusive argument with the class of minds unfortunate ly ttx> numerous in this Legislature. The de bate on this bill was animated and interesting. Dr. Seltzer, one ol the Philadelphia members had it in charge. Hi* argumonl, in favor of the passage was characteristic and luminous. It consisted in the frequent repetition of the charge of “locofocoism” on the part of tbo Judges. His reasoning commenced and ended with his assertion. It amounted to demonstra tion to his mind, and ho was at a loss to con ceive why it should rot bo conclusive with every other good Republican. Ho was assisted by Mr. Thomas Williams, <.f Allegheny, whose chronic hostility to the Hupromo Court has rendered him ridiculous. Mr. Armstrong boro the brunt of lho de bate against the passage of the bill. Ho de nounced the party spirit which seeks to gather every little splinter and rivulet of political power, and defended the Judges Irom the as saults of Mr. Williams, who, be said, bad come to the Legislature filled with malignity againstithe Supreme Court. He showed that the Judges-had not been controlled by politi cal considerations in tbe appointment of Prison Inspectors, and that their appointees had dis charged their duties with fidelity. His re marks were so pointed and forcible that they rather shamed the narrow partisan spirit that was seeking to overturn and reproach tho es tablished order of things for the sake of a mor sel of political power. Tho Houao finally ad journed while the bill was still ponding; but it will not be surprising if it should yet bo driven through under the party lash. By the way, it is well known that Mr. Wil liams came here for the express purpose of impeaching the Judges of the Supreme Court. This idea has been abandoned, and it is now contemplated to remove them by a two-thirda vote of each House The charge against tbe Judges is, that they did not think as Mr. Wil liams did on tbe subject of railroad bonds, and decided that the county of Allegheny was liable for its debts. The Legislature may not gratify Mr. Williams by the removal of the Judges, but he Bhould have an opportunity of denouncing these “judicial oligarchs," if only for the amusement it will afford. etiquette of Advertising.

Evening Postj Washington, April 3 —Startling rumors prevail here to day. The members of the Cab inet and General Scott were hastily summons ed together this morning, and along consulta tion was held at the White House. Exciting reports of the probable cause of this sudden action are flying about the streets, and it is generally believed that important despatches have been received from Major Anderson con cerning the condition of Fort Sumter. The concentration of United States irtops is going on. Two companies have just been or* dered from Washington to Fort Hamilton, in New York harbor, and it is unders'ood that a force of two thousand men is to be immediate ly stationed at points on the seaboard within twenty-four hours march of the federal capital. The war steamers Powhattan and Minneso ta have been ordered into service, and will be made ready for sea immediately. It is belioved here that the troops and ves sels thus put in motion are destined for Fort Pickens, and that they will leave for that post by the end of the week. These sudden movements indicate that the Administration is about lo inaugurate a new policy, and the excitement here increases hourly. Delegates to tho Virginia Stale Convention, who arrived here lost night, report that tbe Convention will adopt an ultimatum for tbe consideration of the border States to morrow SECOND DISPATCH Washington, April 3 1 p. m —1 have juit learned that the Cabinet is considering the question of reinforcing Fort Sumter, and that a final decision is to be made to-day.
