- PUT IT ON RECORD.
The Senate Committee of Thirteen, on the
24th Dec, sat three hours, and reached one
important result. It has been constantly
charged by the South, and was repeated in Mr.
Nicholson's speech, that the growing power of
the Republican party threatened amendments
of the Constitution by which their rights in
the States would be impaired, if not destroy
ed. To meet this difficulty the Republicans
conferred together, and submitted the follow
ing propositions through Mr.Seward, tho' they
were drawn by Messrs. Grimes and Collamer :
First : No amendment shall be made to tho
Constitution which will authorize or give to
Congress any power to abolish or interfere in
any Slate with the domestic institutions there
of, including that of persons held to service or
labor by tbe laws of such State.
This was carried by tbe following vote :
Teas Messrs. Powell, Hunter, Crittenden,
Seward, Douglas, Collamer, Wade, Bigler,
Rice, Doolittle, and Grimes 11.
Nats Messrs. Davis and Toombs 2.
Second The Fugitive Slave law of 1850
shall be so amended as to secure to the alleged
fugitive a trial by jury.
i Mr. Douglas proposed to amend by inserting
in the State from which the fugitive es
caped." This was carried, and then the whole
proposition was voted down by the Democrats,
all the Republicans sustaining it.
Third: It shall bo respectfully recommend
ed to the several State Legislatures to review
all of their laws affecting tbe rights of persons
recently resident in other States, and to mod
ify or repeal all such as shall contravene the
provisions of the Constitution of the U. States
or of any of the laws made in pursuance thereof.
This was lost as follows:
Teas Messrs. Grimes, Seward, Wade, Doo
little, Collamer and Crittenden 0.
Nats Messrs. Powell, Hunter, Toombs,
DougIa, Davis, Bigler and Rice 7.
The Southern men votsd adversely upon the
ground that, though it was not openly assign
ed, this proposition would affect their laws im
prisoning colored seamen.
. It will be seen that the extremists would
not sustain the propositions intended to meet
the very cases they had specifically charged
gainst fho North.
One of tbe South Carolina Commissioners
was asked, whether they did not intend to pay
their respects to the President on New Year's
day, in company with the representatives of
other foreign nations, replied, -Oh, yes, in
full court costume!" Ahem'

medicine in New Orleans, was waited upon a
short time since by a committee and warned
to leave in twenty-four hours.

STUPENDOUS NATIONAL BOBBERY !
$870,000 Indian Trust Bonds abstracted from
the Interior Department.
' From ike Washington Star, of Dec. 2i.
A day or two since, Gordon Bailey, the law
clerk of the Interior Department a native of
South Carolina, appointed to office from Ala
bama, a young married man of about thirty
years of age, admitted to be a person of re
markably fine abilities and attainments pla
ced in tho hands of a friend a letter to be hand
ed to Secretary Thompson. This was during
the latter's recent absence. His manner was
such as that the friend pressed him with inqui
ries concerning its contents, and learning
them, hastened to deliver ft to Mr. T. on the
instant of his return to this city on Saturday
evening last. It proved to be a voluntary con
fession from Bailey that at the instance of an
other be bad abstracted (and loaned to that
person) from the iron sale under his charge,
a large amount $870,000 of the State bonds
held by Mr. T. as Secretary of the Interior in
trust for sundry Indian tribes the proceeds of
their bonds sold by the Government ando iu
vested and held for their beneat in pursuance
of treaty stipulation.
It seems that the Secretary had endeavored
to induce the regular treasurer of his depart
ment, Mr. Peter Lamraond, to become their
custodian, but not being obliged so to do by
law or regulation, he declined the responsibil
ity of their charge. Tho Secretary then en
trusted them to tbe keeping of Mr. Baily, the
Department's law clerk,who was under bonds of
ten thousand dollars for the faithful perfor
mance of other trusts not that one. The re
ceipt of this letter by the Secretary, of eourse
created great commotion in the department,
and he, with Bailey, and other clerks, were
there engaged in the consequent investigation
all Saturday night last, until three A. MM with
hacks, police officers, &c, plying over the
city. According to Bailey's confession, he
loaned the bonds to the party who had induced
him to commit the abstraction, but was not to
receive n single dollar of tho proceeds of the
speculation. He bad cut off, and preserved in
the safe, the coupons for the next six months'
Interest, so that no part of that could be lost
to the Government or Indians.
Bailey had three millions of dollars in such
bonds in his custody, and might as easily have
taken the whole. Our impression is that the
particular bonds can be identified. If so,
while parties who may have innocently pur
chased portions ol thorn may lose their money
so invested, the Government may not ulti
mately be a loser.
Bailey was appointed to office on, perhaps,
the strongest testimonials as to his alleged
high character that .were ever offered in be
half of any other applicant for a Government
clerkship, though, since his appointment, he
has been known to the men about town as a
fast liver, and a regular frequenter of the faro
banks.
This morning Bailey went over to the jail in
company with his counsel, Mr. Carlisle, and
gave himself up, and was fully committed by a
magistrate.
Mr. Wni. H. Russell, tho supply contractor
of the Arm of Russell, Major & Co., tho great
Utah contractors, is the confederate of BjyLJey .
He was arretted in New York on the 21th, ta
ken to Washington next day, and imprisoned,
in default of bail, which was fixed at $500,000.
A THEORY FOR THE TUEIT.
Special Dispatch to the Philadelphia Press.
Among the rumors with respect to the $870,
000 depredation on the Indian-trust fund is
one which, if it bo not reliable, seems plausi
ble. It is, that Secretary Floyd, to aid Rus
sell, Major & Co. in complying with their huge
contract for tho transportation of army sup
plies from the Missouri river to Utah, accept
ed their drafts, in some instances absolutely,
in others conditionally, for a sum exceed
ing $800,000. Subsequently he allowed Rus
sell, Majorat Co. to draw the whole amount
due them under their contract, with the assur
ance on their part that all of his acceptances
as Secretary of War should be retired. Drafts
matured, and Russell, Major & Co. were una
ble to meet them, and others were soou to ma
ture, whtch, unless money could be had.would
be protested. also. Under these circumstances,
Mr. Bailey, the clerk in charge of the Indian
trust fund, who, it is said, married a niece of
Secretary Floyd, was approached by an agent
of Russell, Major & Co., and told that unless
the acceptances referred to were provided for
immediatelv, the Secretary of War would be
disgraced irredeemably. He was then asked
to lend to Russell, Major & Co., temporarily,
State bonds of the Indian trust fund to the
amount of eight hundred and seventy thousand
dollars. Bailey, influenced by tho conviction
that this breach of trust was the only means
of saving the honor of the Secretary of War,
and satisfied, also, that Russell, Mujor & Co.
would be able to replace the bonds according
to promise, delivered bonds amounting to
$870,000 to Major Russell, the principal of
that firm, who hypothecated them to the Bank
of the Republic, New York. This is said to
be Bailey's version of bis unfortunate breach
of official trust, which it was impossible to
conceal longer,inasmuch as the Indian Bureau
had applied for tho coupons, to collect the
January interest on tho bonds abstracted.
Hence, tbe confession of Bailey to the Secre
tary of the Interior, on Saturday, of the whole
aflair. .
Bailey protests that he never received a
a cent of tbe proceeds of the bonds, and this
would seem to be conclusive, if the statement
which we givo as current and most authentic,
seemingly, can be relied upon. Wo cannot
vouch, of course, for its correctness in all
particulars.
It is proper to say that the Secretary of War
is implicated in nowise with the abstraction of
the missing bonds, nor is it believed he knew
aught of it until Saturday last. His culpabil
ity, if any attach to him, consists in the ac
ceptances for Russell, Major & Co. It is un
derstood, however, that such has been the
practice of the War Department, and of other
Departments of the Government, in dealing
with contractors having;heavy monetary trans
actions with tbe Government. If it be that
these acceptances of the Secretary of War
were for the year 1860, the United States will
be liable for such of them as were uncondi
tional. It is alleged in well informed quar
ters, however, that the acceptances were to
cover tbe amount which would be probably
due to Russell, Major & Co. on account of the
transportation of army supplies tor the year
1861. In that event, the loss to the United
States, it is contended, will not exceed $870,
000 those acceptances being regarded as clear
ly illegal. We do not so think. If the ac
ceptances of tbe Secretary bind the Govern
ment In one case, for the transportation for
1860, they bind equally for 1861, when held by
innocent third parties. The loss to the Gov
ernment will be $870,000 certainly, and may
exceed $1,600,000.
The bulk of the bends abstracted, it is be
lieved, were bonds of the State of Missouri,
but there were bonds, also, of Virginia, Ten
nessee, and North Carolina.
Wo have considered it due to the Secretary
of War to give that version of this lamentable
transaction most favorable to bis reputation,
because bis friends claim that he had no privi
ty of Mr. Bailey's dealings Vith Russell, nor
yet any knowledge of it until it was disclosed
by the voluntary confession of the defaulting
clerk. It is due to the public, and to ourselves,
as faithful chronicles, however, to slate that it
is asserted, and believed by many, even anions
j the political friends of the Secretary of War,
that be Is fatally implicated, and his character
wrecked forever. Time and further develop
ments will show the justice or injustice of
these suspicions, which are founded, for the
most part, upon the cloud which the Willett's
Point, Fort Snelling, and Lime Point affairs
have left on the character of Mr. Floyd.
The moment the intelligence of the defalca
tion reached the President, to whom it was
communicated by Secretary Thompson, the
Cabinet was convened at the Department of
the Interior, and an examination entered upon
to ascertain its extent. .. The District Attorney
for this district was also present, and the de
faulting clerk also. The President and Cabi
net remained together until a very late hour
on Saturday night, and the amount of the mis
sing bonds was found to be $870,000.
The President's friends are indignant, of
course, in view of tho denouement, that Secre
tary Floyd took the lesponsibiliiy of giving
tbe acceptances which have brought such heavy
misfortunes upon the Administration.
Another dispatch says ': It appears that the
Secretary of War has accepted the drafts of
Russell, Major & Co., for services yet to be
performed. As they could raise no money
on these acceptances, which were illegal, as
the Secretary of War had no right co pay for
services yet to be done, these gentlemen pro
cured, through the assistance of a Washing
ton banker, eight hundred and seventy thous
and dollars' worth of Indian bonds from Bai
ley, in order to secure the acceptances of Mr.
Floyd. Tbe coupons due on the 1st of Janu
ary are said to have been cut off in order to
prevent detection. The records in the bureau
have either been purloined or destroyed. The
bonds are mostly of the States of North Car
olina, Missouri, and Tennessee. Chief Clerk
Kelly, of the Interior Department, left this
afternoon for New York, for the purpose of
ascertaining where the bonds have been dis
posed of. Bailey is a relative olMartin, of
Lecompton notoriety. He was sent some time
ago to California, to examine the accounts of
Thomas Henley, charged with being a defaul
ter. Recently he signed a circular stating
that, as a native of South Carolina, he would
hold no office under Mr. Lincoln.
A defalcation of two million dollars in an
other department is spoken of this evening.
This is a terrible blow upon the Administra
tion and the Seceders, but more will follow.
Horrible Affair. A most frightful trage
dy took place at Temperanceville, Allegheny
county, Pa., on the 28th Dec. A German phy
sician named Breitlauch, having married a
second time, did not live on the most friendly
terms with his wife, in consequence of the
latter thinking that her husband was partial to
the children of his first wife two sons and i
did not treat the two daughters he had by bis
present one as well perhaps as he should have
done. On the day named, Breitlauch went in
to the room where his wife was, and hurting
his foot on a spool which the youngest girl
had left on the floor, he became enraged and
slapped the child in the face. A quarrel en
sued, when he repaired to his office for his
gun, with which he returned, pointed it at his
wife, and ordered her up stairs. Sho did not
obey at first, but finding him fatally bent on
mischief, she started to leave the room, and
had nearly reached the stairs when he fired,
the ball entering the side of her chest and pro
ducing almost instant death. He then pro
cured another gun in his office, returned to the
room where his wife was weltering in her
blood, and after gazing at the sad spectacle a
few moments, put the muzzle to his mouth,
fired and killed himself. These facts were e
licited at the examination by a coroner's jury.
What Has Democracy Done 1 A late num
ber of the Knoxville, Tennessee, Whig con
tains this truthful article :
"What have the Breckinridge Secession
ists done for the South? Will their organs
and orators tell ? They have made politics a
trade they have fomented agitation they
have repealed all the Compromise measures
of industry and Commerce, calculated to make
the nation independent they have rode into
power upon the slavery issue, until It has re
acted, and rode over them they have built
up a Republican party that has run rough
shod over them they have divided the Dem
ocratic party upon an abstraction they have
been robbing the Treasury, until they have
bankrupted the nation they have been trad
ing in politics, and seeking to fill all the offices
in State and General Government they have
been abusing the North,' for cause and with
out cause they have fanned the flames of
Abolitionism they have passed frothy reso
lutions threatening secession and disunion
and at lengtli they have brought the country
to the verge of ruin ! We are now within 30
to 90 days of a servile war, and every honest
and intelligent man knows that it is the work
of the President and the Breckinridge Democ
ray! Rattlesnake Den in Washington. The S.
Carolina Commissioners having discharged
their duty by presenting to the President their
ultimatum demanding the withdrawal of An

give In case of open hostilities, the people of
the North will be divided, and the "coercion
ists" of the Free States will have their hands
full at home, does much to quiet the appre
hensions of those who are not so busily engag
ed in their work of treason that they do not find
time to notice the low-muttering thunder of tho
approaching storm from the North and West.

HOSTETTER'S STOM
ACH BITTERS. The proprietors and
Manufacturers of Ilostetter's Celebrated Stomach
Bitters can appeal with perfect confidence to phy
sicians and citizens generally of the United States,
because the article has attained a reputation here
tofore unknown. A few facts upon this point will
speak more powerfully than volumes of bare asser
tion or blazoning puffery. Tbe consumption of
Uostetter's Stomach Bitters for the last year a
mounted to over a half-million bottles, and from
its manifest steady increase in times past, it is ev
ident that during the coming year the consump
tion will reach near one million bottles. Ibis im
mense amount could never have been sold but for
the rare medicinal properties contained in the pre
paration, and the sanction of the most prominent
physicians in those sections of the country where
the article is best known, who not only recommend
the Bitters to their patients, but are ready at all
times to give testimonials to its efficacy in all ea
ses of stomachic derangements and the diseases re
sulting therefrom. This is not a temporary popu
larity, obtained by extraordinary efforts in the way
of trumpeting the qualities of the Bitters, but a
solid estimation of an invaluable medicine, which
is destined to be as enduring as time itself
IlosteUe&,'8 Stomach Bitters have proved a God
send to regions where fever and aguo and various
other bilious complaints have counted their vic
tims by hundreds. To be able to state confident
ly that the 'Bitters' are a certain core for tbe Dy
pepsia and like diseases, is to the proprietors a
source of unalloyed pleasure. It removes all mor
bid matter from the stomach, purifies the blood,
and imparts renewed vitality to the nervous sys
tem, giving it that tone and energy indispensable
for the restoration of health. It operates upon
the stomach, liver, and other digestive organs,
mildly but powerfully, and soon restores them
to a condition essential to the healthy discharge
of the functions of nature.
Elderly persons may use the Bitters daily as per
directions on the bottle, and they will find it a
stimulant peculiarly adapted to comfort declining
years, as it is pleasant to tbe palate, invigorating
to the bowels, excellent as a tonic, and rejuvena
ting generally. We have evidence of thousand
of aged men and women who have experienced
the benefit of using this preparation while suffer
ing from stomach derangements and general de
bility; acting under the advice of physicians,
they have abandoned all deleterious drugs and
fairly tested the merits of this article. A few
words to the gentler sex. There are certain pe
riods when their cares are soharrassing that many
of them sink under the trial. The relation of mo
ther -and child is so absorbingly tender, that tbe
mother, especially if she be young, is apt to for
get herown health in the extreme anxiety forher
lniant. buouiu the period for maternity arrive
during the summer season, the wear of body and
mind is generally aggravated. Here, then, is a
necessity for a stimulant to recuperate the ener
gies of the system, and enable the mother to bear
up under her exhausting trials and responsibili
ties. Nursing mothers generally prefer the Bit
ters to all other invigorators that receive the en
dorroment o physicians, bectu,s U la agreeable
to the taste as well as cartia to, givo a permanent
increase of bodily strength.
All those persons, to whom we have particular:
ly referred above, to wit : sufferers from fever d
ague, caused by malaria, diarrhoea, dysentery, in
digestion, loss of appetite, and all diseases or de
rangements of the stomach, superanuated inval
ids, persons of sedentary occupation, and nursing
mothers, will consult their own physical welfare
by giving to Uostetter's Celebrated Stomach Bit
ters a trial.
Caution. We caution the public against using
any of the many imitations or counterfeits, but ask
for Uostetter's Celebrated Stomach Bitters, and see
that each bottle has the words "Dr. J. Uostetter's
Stomach Bitters' blown on the side of the bottle,
and stamped on the metallic cap covering the cork,
and observe thatour autograph signature is on the
label. QPrepared and sold bjIZostetUrtr Smith,
Pittsburg, Pa., and sold by all druggists, grocers,
and dealers generally throughout the. United
States, Canada, South America, and Germany.
