From the Richm0nd EnQuier.

GENTLEMEN: The comment contained in your
paper of the 22d instant in relation to the course
of the Virginia Delegation, on the Opposite
Question: is calculated to make an erroneous and
unjust impression on the public mind, as to our
opinion on that important subject.
No one has been authorized to place as in
''proud opposition to the whole course of the adj
ministration." Our real position is one much
s'prouder." 1t is that ofa steady determination to
Judge each and every measure submitted to our
consideration, by its intrinsic merits, unnfiu-
enced by prejudice or party; and to make I'M
compromising opposition, to all encroachments
on the laws or constitution, come they in any
shape, or from any quarter.
We voted on the 18th instant, against the
"Previous Question" because its success would
exclude, and therefore defeat, for the time,
"McDuf6e's Resolution's," which it was our
purpose to sustain.
We voted for the reference Of the Secretarys
Report to the Committee Of Ways and Means, oe-
cause it then stood naked and alone, and fire.
auent previous decisions of the House had indi-
Gated settled purpose to send it no where else.

Mr.. Ingersoll is said to have acclaimed about
every thing in creation; and everybody, from the
super-eminent Jack Downing to our humble
selves. He complained, we learn, that our chief
objection to President Jackson is that he does
not speak Greek. He did us, we Think little
injustice in this particular. So far as it relates
to the gift of tongues, among the miracles which,
according to the orator, nature and office have
wrought in the person of Andrew Jackson, we
should have been content if he had been ena-
bled to speak and write passabe English. His
epstle to Mr.. Gowen and his talk to the PhiIa-
deIphia Delegation are evidence that ifhe ever
possessed that faculty, it has been lost since he
reached station to which our forefathers at
least supposed it necessary Gaz

ster do? Disputed with the Executive the right
to the pension fund"
At this time the President had grown into such
a rage that no object was TO De gained oy dl-
tempting to prolong the dlscusslon' anu es se
veral of the delegation had already manifested
their wish and their Impotence to close the con-
ference the members of the delegation with
drew.
The DELEGATION have endeavored to report all
that passed at this interview as accurately DIS
possible. They have employed, as TAR as thelf
memory has allowed them, the exact words, that
we're uSed on both sides, and have set nothing
down which was not distinctly within the recol-
lection of some of their party; whilst, at the
same time time, they believe they have omitted
nothing of Importance to the illustration OF the
opinions which the President endeavored to eX-
press except one assurance from the President
which, upon reviewing what they nave detalieo
above, they now supply. In the course of his
remarks on the state of the question be-
fore the country, the President declared that
he meant to try the present experiment with the
State Banks until the period ofthe expiration OF
the charter of the Bank of the United States;
and that, fit, then, should be found not to an
swer, some other plan would ne resorted 10.
This concludes all that the delegation have to
report of the sentiments of the President.
Soon after this interview the delegation re-
turned to the city of Baltimore. They deem it
unnecessary to comment upon the incidents OF
their visit to the city Of Washington. The above
enthusiastically detailing all that passed,
as nearly as it was possible for the delegation to
report the same-will afford every citizen of
Baltimore the means of making up his own OPT
Mon in regard to the probable duration of the
present state ofthings.
The delegation see no reason to despond.-
They have confidence in the wisdom and inte-
gritty of the Nation, and believe that misrule,
whether it be produced by passion or by error
of Judgment, cannot long go uncorrected
amongst an intelligent and patriotic people.

Police.-Three men, recently arrived in this
city from England, whose motions have been
strictly watched by our vigilant police officers,
and believed by them to be jeDeI there's, have
been arrested and committed to prison. One
of them has been recognised as the person who
delivered draft, with forged endorsement on
it, for $4,000, to porter, who presented the
same at the counter of the Phenix Bank, on
the 9Th ult., and which was paid. Three trunks
(says the Courier) were filled with every va
riety of costly wearing apparel, and implements
for the exercise of their vocation, Of which the
contents afforded incontestible evidence. In
addition to various DISCUSSES, an extensive as
sortment of false skeleton keys were found,
consisting of several hundred of almost every
variety, and of the most skilful workmanship,
together with picklocks, centre bits, files vices,
and other tools for the manufacture of burglars

THE UNITED STATES BANK.

We subjoin statement, to which we ask par
ticular attention. After the outcry which has
been made at Washington, we confess that we
did not think that the United States Bank had
made reduction of discounts so small in pro-
portion to the public and private withdrawal of
deposites-U Z. S. Gaz.
BANK OF THE UNITED STATES,
March 5, 1884. {
At a meeting Of the Board Of Directors, held
this day. Mr.. Eyre, from the Committee on the
Offices, presented the following report which
was read
REPORT.
The Committee on the Offices having now as
certained, by an experience of several months.
the progress in the reductions in the business Of
the Bank, ordered by the Board on the 9Th Of
October last avail themselves of the monthly re-
turns from the Bank and all its offices, made up
for the month of March, to present a statement
of those reductions.
The design Of the Board in directing them was
TO protect the institution, and to provide the
means of paying the Deposites of the Govern
ment, so as to press with as little injury as pos
sible on the community. How far that purpose
has been accomplished, will be seen from a
statement of the amount of loans, deposites,
specie and circulation of the Bank from the 1St
of October 1888 to the 1st of March, 1884
The general result of the operations Of the
Bank during the last five months, has been,
1st That the reduction of the loans has not
been, by upwards Of four millions of dollars, as
great as the reduction of depostes; and
3D. That the withdrawal Of nearly eight mil
lions of dollars, of those funds which the Bank
has based its accommodations to the communi-
ty, has not yet been followed by a reduction Of
accommodations equal to one-hafofthe amount
Of funds thus withdrawn.
3d. That from the 1st Of January to the 1st of
March, the increase in the line of domestic bills
amounted to nearly two millions and half Of
dollars.
4th That, during the same period, there has
been an actual increase in the total loans of the
ank of 81 ,256 368 16.
The Committee cannot regret the smalness OF
this reduction during the last five months, nor
even the actual increase of its loans since the
first of January; because both have arisen from
the strong desire of the Bank to give every re-
lief to the community consistent with its own
safety. But they cannot forbear to express their
deliberate conviction, that these reductions are
much less than are required for its security dur
ing the present unsettled state Of the currency,
and that it has now become the duty ofthe Bank
gently but steadily, to diminish the amount Of
the claims upon it, by continuing to lessen its
business.
Whereupon, on motion of Mr. Newkirk, the
following resolution was unanimously adopted:
Resolved That, as much misrepresentation ap-
pears to exist throughout the country, in regard
to the reduction of the loans of the Bank since
the removal Of the public deposites, the forego-
ing report, be published for general informa-
! ton. Extract from the minutes:
