model, but which can never be successfully imi
tated. It has been admired by men of all na
tions_and all pt rties as the very essence of politi
cal wisdom and unselfish patriotism. It is very
certain that no journeyman did that job. It
betrays the baud of the master in the very turn
of the sentences. It seas delivered as if from
inspiration, and it has turned out to be prophe
cy. There is internal evidence enough to con
vince the most s keptical. But if there was not,
the testimony of Mr. Jay is.sufficient to settle
the matter.
addition to this, we loam from the Lynch
burg Vit . !, talon, that a relative of Washington is
in possession of- overwhelming evidence.
So much for the Farewell Address. The as
sumption of credit to Alexander Hamilton, for
the entire conduct l'f the Revolutionary war, is
still more preposterous. Hamilton was Wash
ing,ton's secretary—his clerk in other wbrds—
and lie transcribed his letters, ss all clerks to
men in active business are in the habit of doing.
As the letters were frequently in his handwriting,
therefore, there might be some plausible pretext
for claiming the authorship. But how it ever
entered the head of old Mr. Ha mil ton to conceive
that Hamilton ordered the marches, planned the
battles, arrang-d the tel. los r f co operation with
tip; allies, quieted the mutinies, coneiliaul the
:]tales and ruled refr , ,lory Congress, is
mate than we con cone:dye.

We have heretofore taken occasion to ex
press our views of the wrongs which the
community suffers from bogus insurance corns
panics, and it gives us great satisfaction to
announce that a b'll is about to brought before
the Legislature by Mr. Dohnert of Philadel
phia, which will act as a protection to the
public against insecure and speculative con-
terns. Its leading ideas seem to be investigas
tion and publicity—two things from which
no really good insurance company will sutler.
Its passage - would no doubt expose the lots
tenness of insecure and " bogus " companies.
and prevent their organization hereafter.
The subject is one of interest, not only to
the public, who insure, but to all who have
invested, or may hereafter invest in insurance
stocks throughout the State. The public
have suffered enough, and we hope that some,
thing may now be done for their protection.
We append a brief abstract of the bill, which
is ti long one, furniAte.d to the Ledger by its
Harrisburg corresponduut
The first section makes it the itity of the Dis
[via Courts of Phil,:delphia, Pittsburgh and Ltin
easter, and the Courts of Common Pleas in o her
counties where any insurance Company is locat-
ed, to appoiut onritudly three InFuranceCoulruis

us porn as the Coninii , ,sioners shall ithve ascer
mined that any such cimpany is poizessed of bo-
na fide capital stack, scrip, as-ict 3 and noteF,lia
We for lorses, as follows
If a joint stock company with $lOO,OOO capital
subscribed and $50,000 paid in and invested, or
if &joint stock company with mutual privileges,
with capital stock and scrip amounting to $50,000,
and assets and gurantee notes ;riven to secure
the payment of losses, amountim4
WlOO,OOO--
or if a company without capital stock, but in
place thereof notes givt'n as capital, or as guar
anteo for the payment of losse+, by persons of
satisfactory responsibility, and amounting to not
less than $lOO,OOO, then the Commis•tiouers
shall grant cbrtiacates accordingly to such corn
pany, filing duplicates with the Auditor General.
With Suchce-tificates companies may go on, sub
ject to annual examination - And renewal of certifi
nate. Should the Commissioners find a corn
pany insolvent, they shall report the facts to the
Court which, being satisfied° , insolvency; shall
grant en injunction, appoint a receiver, &o.
Insurance Companies and Associations of
Philadelphia shall provide an Aloe, in which the
commissioners shall keep a rotor of the results
of their examinations, setting I rth the assots,
with their nature and value, ttiu of sign
ere of notes given as capit , as to Ihi
inspection of the public.
Persons hereafter desiring to form au instir
ante company shall give publ.o notice in the
newspapers, six mouths before the regular ses
sion of the Legislature, and make duo proof
thereof, as in the case of hanks.
All Insurance. Conipa des or Associations oilier
than mutual, now or hereafter incorporated,
shall have a capital of nit loss than $200,000 it
located in. Philadelphia If elsewhere, hot less
than $lOO,OOO, subscritid in full, and ono-halt
in cash. Companies heretof ,re incorporwod
with less oa.pital, are iimirei.sed as above. The
• , ectiou then provide, for subscriptions necessary
for such increase, and if not cldained, the cum
pony is to be wound up.

over the amount of the capital may he invested in
such good and reliable La.cuiri ti, s as the directors
shall determine, ex •ept loans on the stock of the
company. Not more than three-fourths of the
capital shall be hooted on mortgage, end not
more than one-twentieth in any single mort
gage, &c.
An annual statement of each specific item of
assets and liabilities is required to b^ made to
the Auditor General.
All mutual companies shall have a guarantee
capital of notes amounting to at least $300,000
We invite the especial attention of the un
derwriters of our own city, as well as of insu-,
rers, to the provisions of this bill, as it is a
" Philadelphia Bill," and may not as fully pro
vide for Western interests as might be desi-.
rable. In its general details it strikes us fa
votably, but we do not see the propriety of
the commissioners proposed to be appointed
keeping a record of their examinations in Phila
delphia only. Would it not be better that
this record, or at least an abstract of it, should
be published in the newspapers, that those
who wish to insure might have the benefit of
the information 3 If eve were about to effect
an insurance we should °bleu to going or send•
ing to Philadelphia to ascertain the standing
°fan insurance company.. Other improvements
may be suggested, and now is the proper
time for those who may wish to have the bill
amended in any of its features to forward
their suggestions to our members Harris.,
burg.
It is also proposed to adopt the following
resolution as the basis of investgation ,
Resolved, That the auditor General be le
quested to furnish this house• a tabular state
ment showing the amount of money paid each
year, fcir the previous five years, by each Fire,
Inland, Marine, Trust, Life, Live Stock, and
Health Insurance Company incorporated by the
State of 'Pennsylvania, and transacting business
in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Erie, Harrisburg
and Lancaster; the name of the company, where
located, amount of capital authorized to be held,
amount paid in, and the amount of state tax paid
into the State Treasury, distinguishing between
those who have and those who have not made
report to the Auditor General, as required by the
71st section of the act of May 7, 1855. And
that the Auditor General b , requested to furnish
such other information as be may be possessed
of, and what alteration in the laws are, in his
opinion, neces-mry for the better collecting of the
tax-and compelling a compliance with the laws
or the State.
THE annual meeting of the Stockholders of
the • Pennsylvania Railroad for the election of
officers of the company is called for the drat of
March next.
A BILL has beer. reported to the Legislature

STATRMENT BY GENERAL CALROLN
WAsIIINOTON CITY, February 17, 1868
To the Editor of...the Union:
SIR :—I have already communicated to the
Committee on Territories in the Senate a full
tatement of facts connected with the applica
tion of Kansas for admission into the Union as
a State. 1 need nut repeat those facts in this
paper, as they will doubtless reach the public in
a few days. It is with reluctance that 1 refer to
matters pertaining solely to the local politics of
the Territory in which 1 live, and with which, to
some extent, I have been connected ; but the
various and contradictory statements that have
been made by unscrupulous and irresponsible
Letter writers to the public press, touching the
discharge of my official duties as President of
the Constitutional Convention, maks the duty
imperative.
Excitement, conflict, and great confusion must
necessarily attend the organization of govern
ment for a community brouwht together trom all
parts of the world, cud actuated by different oh
jests, motives and prejudices. No territory ever
ortranizod in the United States has suffered more
ft ion c•tu-ea rt th.• chlr:icer than Kansas. The
nfltet about the shaping of our imtitutions, eo
emistantly directed by persons and parties out
side of the Territory has forced within its limits
eive-s ,If p Tu!ation front every portion of the
Union, t •Le-iroiler iu chavacter and with the
I.l:•disrpiitiou to collision. That diS
order and confusion, the violation of individual
and public rights and duties, should result froth
such causes, may be deplored, but could not be
prevented. Good men have sought the peacefnl
remedy to these controversies in the ballot bolt.
Bad men have been governed by no scruples as
to public or private action. In the periodical
addresses put forth by the law and order or
Democratic party of Kansas, every foreign in
fluence has boon repudiated, and every effort
made to procure for Kansas the quiet, peaceful
settlement of all questions of public policy by
t-he fair and honest expression of the public will.
To the fullest extent these recommendations ,
have not pr,hahly prevailed with their own
party friends, who in opposition to a party
knowing and respecting no law, may have been
driven to the extremity of wrong and the viola
tion of public right and duty. But it is not my
lobject to go into a full examination of this sub
j,--ct. My object now is to place myself right
before the public en the suliject of the election
retur. , s f7r menthe:l9 of the Legislature in Leav
enworth county, the statements in reference to
which have been so conflicting end contradictory.
On the 13th of January, the day before I
FEBRUARY 20
opened the returns of the Kansas elections for
and under the Constitution. I was called upon by
several gentlemen from Lawrence, headed by
Doctor or Governor Robinson, and asked if I
would he governed, iu determining the result of
the election in Leavenworth county, by the
sworn statement of one of the judges of elec
tion at the precinct known as the " Delaware
Crossing." 1 replied, no! That I could not,
and would not, go behind the election returns.
It was then stated that the question was as to
the legality of returns ; and fraud was charged,
on what information I did not learn, upon the
ground that the returns sent to me were not the
true returns as approved and signed by the
judges of election. To give the full opportunity ,
of submitting testimony as to the legality oftile
returns, I told the gentleman that, as the Legi&-
lature would have no duties to perform nn it
atter the decision of the question of admissio ,
there could be no necessity fur the immediate i -
suauce of certificates of election in that or R y
other case, and that the difficulty which they
suggested could, iu the meantime, be fully inves
tigated.
This s atemeut I made the next day in the
presence of the gentlemen who were present lit
the opening of the returns. 1 also authorized
Governor Denver to state that if the judges of
election would furnish me, under oath, a state
ment that the return made was false and fraudu
lent, 1 would treat such statement as a corrected
return, and be governed by it in giving certifi
cates of election. I knew nothing of the Dela
ware Crossing returns, only that public rumor
had given to the Democratic party a majority at
that precinct of some three or four hundred. 1
supposed the returns from that precinct were in
my office, and was unieceived only when all the
returns were opened and they were not found.
These returns were of great importance, as they
determined not only the political complexion of
Leavenworth county, but of both branches of
the Legislature. As they stood at the opening
of the returns, without the Delaware Crossing
vote, the Republicans had a majority in Leaven
worth country, and, consequently, a majority of
both branches of the Legislature..
In order to ascertain the truth, I sent a MSS'
uger to that precinct to see the judges of elec.-
tiou awl learn the facts as to the charge of fraud
in the return In the meantime, the sealed re.
turne from that precinct were put into my hands
by Mr. Dicfendotf, one of the Commissioners for
Leavenworth county, and on the same day that
the messenger returned from Delaware Crossing
precinct. I received the returns and the mes3ol:l
Fleet; report at Weston, Missouri, on the 21st day
of January. The messenger brought to me the
tellowiug sworn statements of the judges and
clerks of the precinct in question :
TERRITORY OF KANSAS, }
County of Leavenworth.
The undersigued, Judges and Clerks of the ',lee
lion e eta fur State officers and members of the State
Legislature, held at the precinct known as the Dela
ware Agency, on the fourth day of January, A. D.
1853, do hereby certify that the returns made by us
of said election were correct and genuine, and that
any statement made by any person as to the vote of
said precinct can only be determined, as to its truth
or falsity, by a reference to said returns made by ea
' as managers and clerks of said election at said pre
cinct.

taken to Lawrence, by an armed party of ten or

was made to him to make a now poll-book, (by some
one of the Free-State party in Lawrence, and he
thinks by a man named Ewing,) which poll-book
should be made out, so that General Calhoun would
receive it, which deponent, being in durance, told
him or thous he supposed would be all right.

Clerk
s. JAMES FINDLAY,
These depositions impressed my mind fully
that the returns placed that day in my hands
were true. I entertained no particle of doubt
about the result, when, in the presence of Col.
Starks and others, 1 opened the returns and
found a majority of 379 votes for the Democratic
party. I concluded, as a matter of course, that
the depositions of the judges and clerks w ere
made with a full knowledge of the contents of
the returns, then for the first time in my posses
sion. The returns, together with the depositions
of the judges and the clerks, I sent to my office,
at Lecompton, by Mr. Brooks, one of the clerks
in the Surveyor General's office. lam informed,
in a letter from Mr. Brooks, that he placed them
in the hands of General Maclean, the chief clerk
in the Surveyor General's office, on the 27th
day of January. lat once said to my friends,
and others who approached me on the subject,
that the Democratic party had a majority in the
Legislature, and authorized the publication of
such a statement. I came to Washington with
no particle of doubt on my mind as to the result.
On the Saturday night alter my arrival in Wash
ington, I called to pay my respects to an old
friend, Judge Douglas, and before leaving he
placed iu my hands a paper he had just received
from Kansas. This paper contained what pur
ported to be the depositions of the judges of
election for the precinct of Delaware Crossing;
and in which the judges deposed that there were
but forty-three votes polled at that precinct. I
could not act, or form my opinion upon a newspa
per publication; but I immediately informed my
friends that if the statement so made should prove
true, they must inevitably control my I action.
I have received and opened a return from the
Delaware crosEing precinct wich gives to the
Democratic party a majority of 379 votes, and
would thus secure a majority to the Democratic
Legislative ticket of Leavenworth county, and a.
majority ou joint ballot in the Legislahlre, un
der the Constitution. If the judges of teleotign
at that precinct furnish to me, as I informed Ga. Denver before leaving idmane, a .reliable
and sworn statement that
. but forty-three votes
were polled there, i should mice myself a party
to the fraud if I declined to be governed by the
oaths of the judges. It is a question going to
the legality of the returns. Of that I may judge
and determine. I shall do so; and, in my de
termination, I shall be governed by justice and
truth and the right. If it shall, as it probably
will, place the government of the State of Kan
sas iu the hands of my enemies, no one will re
gret more ; but yet no one, not even aßluck Re
publican, could perforn the duty with more of
the consciousness of right than I shall feel in the
honest discharge of my official duties. I have
written to Gov. Denver to procure the sworn
statements of the judges of this controverted pre
cinct, and to have them taken under such cir
cumstances as will secure a free and unbiased
exhibition of facts. By the sworn statements so
procured, I shall be governed in giving the cer
tifien.tes of election to the members of the Legis
lature from Leavenworth county.
The New Militia Bill
The Legislature has before it a scheme to
revive the old militia system, which the citi
zens some years ago demanded to be abolished.
The Ledger in speaking of it says : A bill, of
forty-seven pages, called an act for the " Reg
ulation of the Militia "—but which ought to
be called an act for the benefit of the state
Printer—reported in the House, makes every
citizen between 18 and 45, with a few special
exceptions, liable to militia duty. If he does
not arm and equip himself with a musket and
bayonet, a knapsack and pouch, and twenty
four cartridges, be must pay one dollar to the
County Commissioners if he live in the country,
but if he lice in the city one dollar and fifty
cents. The fund created from these fines is
to go to the support of the uniformed militia.
We hope that the Legislature will give the
quietus to this humbug. If men want to play
soldier in our streets, strutting in costly uni
forms, let them do so at their own expense ;
there is no reason why the mechanic and la
borer, who are handling the implements of
their trade in useful employment, should
be taxed that,others may handle a gun. The
militia system was lilways a humbug, and will
always be so. The fines collected were diver
ted from the public treasury and nobody bene
fitted by the system but the Brigade Inspector
and the Militia Fine Collector. The citizens
are taxed enough now to pay for " public im
provements." Do not oppress poor men by
making them pay a dollar and a half to feed
the vanity of those who love to figure in epau
lettes and feathers.
The Area of Utah.
It may be a matter of some interest to our
readers to know something of the comparative
extent of that Territory of the United States,
whose chief officer is bidding defiance to the
government. According to Colton, the area
of Utah is 369,170 square miles. To engi
neers and a few others, this will form a better
estimate by being told that it is as large as
the whole New England States, New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Deleware, Mary
land, Kentucky and Tennessee. Or to com
pare it with European countries, it is Equal in
extent to Great Britain,lreland, Switzerland,
Prussia and Denmark, with the islands of
Guernsey, Jersey and Man, and the lonian is,
lands added.
Safety from Explosions.
In France, the greatest confidence is placed,
as a means of preventing boiler explosions, in
the use of fusible metal plates over the furnace.
These plates are alloys of tin and lead, with a
small portion of bismuth, in such proportions as
will insure fusion at a temperature something
below that of molten lead. These fusible metal
plates, as used in France, are generally covered
by a perforated metallic dice, which protects the
alloy of which the plate is composed, and allows
it to ooze through us soon as the steam has at
tained the temperature necessary to insure the
fusion of the
. plate. The nature of the alloy is,
however, somewhat curious, as the different
equivalents have different degrees of fluidity,
and the portion which is the first to melt is . feuud
out by the pressure of the steam causing the
adhesion of the less fusible parts, but iu a most
imperfect state, and incapable of resisting the
internal force of the steam The result of these
compounds are the fusion of one portion of the
alloy and the fra3ture of the other, which is gen
erally burst by pressure. This latter description
of fusible plates is different from the lead plug
over the fire, which is fused at six hundred de
grees by the heat of the furnace, and the other
by th temperature of the steam, when raised to
the fusible point of the alloy.
The rationale of the above method of pre•
venting explosions strikes us as almost iden ,
tical with the invention of our late fellow
citizen, Cadwallader Evans Esq. so extensively
known as " Evans' Safety Guard."

in Dr. MuLile's church, had ended in a complete vie
dication of Mr. Gent's aharaztr, and so elated wore

carriage through the streets, while those who gave
evidence against him barely escaped Lynch law
from the mob.

THIRTY-FIFTH CONGRESS
FIRST SESSION
V einterday'w Proceeding's
4LNAIL
The private eallentiar was taken up.
The Army bill being up, Mr, Iverson said that Mr.
Davis wished to reply to some remarks of others be
fore the vote was taken. He moved a postponement
which was agreed to, and the Senate adjourned until
Tuesday.
EIOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Mr. Hoard, of New York, rose to a - privileged ques
tion, and sent up to the Clerk to be read a letter from
Mr. Burns, of Ohio, to this effect :—"You took occa
sion on Friday to road from the New York TribUne
a false, foul slander against too, the tenor of which
you know. The charges set forth, if true, would dis
qualify me from holding a seat in the House. You
repeated the slander without provocation. I pro
nounce the paragraph a slander of the foulest kind.
If you suppose me guilty of the crime, I ask you to
examine into its truth or falsehood—if innocent, you
should set me right."
Mr. Hoard desired to respond to the letter, but ob..
jections were made. He insisted that he had a right
to be heard, on the ground that Mr. Burns' letter was
threatening and calculated to intimidate him.
Mr. Burnett, of Ky., called Mr. Hoard to order,
saying that ho could not explain by letter.
Mr. Giddings, of Ohio, wanted to know whether
the friends of Mr. Burns would insist upon replying
when objections were made.
Mr. Hoard made another ineffectual effort at expla
nation.
On motion, it was resolved that when the House
adjourn it be until Tuesday next. The private cal
endar was then taken up.
Mr. Hata rose to a personal explanation. He
said that during his absence yesterday Mr. Zollicoffer
had made a personal allusion to him. He had a
right, as a member of the House, to discuss any
matter of public interest and do power on earth
could deter him from a faithful and fearless discharge
of that duty. The other day ho spoke of a certain
party and its oaths, which, of course, could only be
known to members of that party. He dia not pro
pose to discuss a question of veracity with any mem
ber of the House as to the existence of these oaths
or their treasonableness and unconstitutionality. He
sought to bring before the House credible' authority
for their existence, namely, a journal of New York ;
he did not vouch for the genuineness of these oaths.
The gentleman branded thid allegation as false. If
Mr. Zollicoffer were right then he was at issue with
the authority. When I make personal issue with
any gentleman in or outside of the House, I am re
sponsible, but cannot be diverted from meeting a
question involving the constitutonal rights of
fellow-citizens by gentlemen giving it personal or
local application. Such oaths may not exist in Ten.
nessee; ho did not allege that Mr. Zollicoffer or any
other gentleman had taken such obligations ; he
had merely expressed the belief that men taking
such oaths acted in direct violation of the Consti
tution.
Mr. Zollicoffor said that possibly he misapprehend
ed the spirit actuating Mr. Hatch. The obligations
the latter read as those of the American party were
not either in letter or spirit those administered in
Tennessee; being a member of the American party
he felt it a duty to throw off the imputation of obli
gations which were treasonable.
Mr. Gilmer, interposing, said he would have pre
ferred that Mr. Zollicoffor had not replied, as Mr.
Hatch acknowledged that he was elected by foreign
votes.
Confusion and cries of order ensued.
Mr. Zollicoffer, resuming, said he did not wish to
make it personal issue. If he had misapprehended
Mr. Hatch he had nothing more to say.
Mr. Hoard rose to a personal explanation ; he sent
to the chair a paper reciting that a statement had
been made by a member of the House asserting that
Mt. Burns had stated to the latter on the subject of
his (Mr. Burns) vote on the 'Kansas Committee reao
lutions that he was to have certain official patronage
at his disposal; that Mr. Burns, by thus freely
avowing his sentiments afforded grounds for the be
lief that improper influences had been exerted to bias
his Tote. Ho concluded by offering a resolution for
the appointment of a Select, Committee to inquire
whether improper attempts were made by persons in
the executive department, or other persona, to Mu,
once the action of members of the House by promise
of patronage. IVIr. Hoard diselained personal unkind.
ness against Mr. Burns, but said that he could not
be diverted from his purpose by side issues. Last
Tuesday he said in tho House that the executive de
partment were endeavoring to influence votes by the
bestowal of patronage, and the circumstances con
nected with Mr. Burns justified the charge.
Mr. Barnett objeotei to the gentleman bringing a
personal difficulty into the House, under the guise of
a privileged question. Mr. Burns bad pronounced
the charge false, and was responsible for what ho
said.
Pending the question, the Honed adjourned until
Tuesday.
From Washington
WASHINGTON CITY, February 19.—1 t appears from
official statements that the amount on deposit in the
United States Treasury, on Monday, was $6,383,000;
subject to draft, $4,228,000; receipts for the week,
$650,000.
The report of the Senate Committee on Territories,
in relation to Kansas, says that they de not approve
the ordinance accompanying t e Lecompton Consti
tution, and therefore oppose its acceptance. They
do not regard it as any part of the Constitution, nor
will its approval t r disapproval by Congress affect
the validity toe Constitution, if Kaubtis 1,, L.-twit
ted into the Uttaun as recommended.
The Democrats of the Senate will not, as has been
stated, press the passage of the bill for the admission
of Kansas exactly in the form reported from the
Committee on Territories. There is the highest au
thority for saying, that when the subject will come
up fur consideration, an amendment will be offered
from that side and will doubtlesss be adopted, ex
pressly declaring that nothing in the Lecomptou
Constitution shall be construed or held to interfere
with the right of the people to alter, amend or modify
it at pleasure.
The Pennsylvania Democratic members of the
House la-t night bad a L . ull and free interchange of
opinions, continuing fot l. hours, on Kansas and other
questions. Nothing of an affirmative character was,
however, consummated. The utmost confidence and
was expressed for the President, and although some
regretted that they were compelled to differ from him
on that subject, they show no disposition to embar
rass the administration in its general policy.
Messrs. Brown, 2,obb, Floyd and Thompson, of the
Cabinet, and a large number of members of Congress
have made arrangements to attend the inauguration
of the statue of l'igton, in Richmond, on Mon
day next.
John L. Rob neon, ex-member of Congress, of In
diana, was to day confirmed by the Senate as United
States Marshal of that State.
