PROSPECT AHEAD.

The Editor of the New York Courier e. En-
quirer thus writes from Washington:
"Let me again deliberately assure the good
people ofNew York, that there is not the posi-
billty of carrying Mr.. Webster's proposition, or
of settling the question Of currency in any 1Day
1phateuer, unless the elections which are to take
place in New York and Virginia in April, are
carried in favor Of the Constitution and Laws,
against the present Administration. All hopes
of relief not founded on the result Of these cleo
TONS aoill most unquestionably prove falIacious;
and even if these elections should be carried in
our favor, we must be prepared to encounter
very severe pressure for the next forty days
The Party here, are sanguine of success
both in Virginia and New York; and in conse-
quence, one and all proclaim that the question
is settled and the country rapidly recovering
from the pressure and panic under which it has
labored for ninety days. They say nothing is
required to be done-the experiment has been
fairly tested, and the present prices of stocks
in New York prove conclusively, that it has tri
umphantly succeeded, even beyond the expecta-
tons of the most sangune They pretend to
believe, and many no doubt, honestly so believe,
that the Rubicon has been safely passed, that
their warfare against the currency of the coun-
try has succeeded, that the Jackson party is
more firmly established than atany previous Pc
Rod and that the succession to the Presidency for
the next eight gears, is satisfactorily and securely
settled! 1t is under this conviction, and with
these pleasing but deusive hopes, that all idea Of
granting relief to the country has been aban-
doned; and their rieps in this regard, can only
be changed by the People rising in their majes-
ty and demanding a change of measures.
The great object on the part ofthe Admins
tration now is to get rid of Congress by the
proclamation of the President; but in this they
will be defeated by the firmness of the Senate;
49,
leaves this city without settling the question of
the currency, it will be in consequence of AN
DREW JAcKsoN's treading in the footsteps of OIL
YER CROMWELL"

GOVERNMENT DIRECTORS"

The following reasons for the rejection of the
persons nominated to the Senate as Govern
ment Directors Of the Bank of the United States
are given by the National Intelligencer, and are
doubtless those which prevailed with majority
of the Senate:
The Senate did not in the first instance, re-
ject these four Government Directors, as is pre-
tended, merely for having made written Re-
ports to the President, when required by him to
do so; nor will that, we are persuaded, be the
only ground taken now in that body, in oppo-
sition to their denomination The Senate we
have no doubt, saw very good reason to believe,
trst, that the persons again nominated to be
Directors of the Bank Of the United States on
the part of the Government, were deadly enc
mics of the institution, and could not see any
very marked propriety, therefore, in placing its
interests in their hands. Would you place the
lamb under the protection of the wolf or domi-
ciliate the hawk in your dove-cote? The Sc
nate doubtless saw, secondly, abundant evil
dence that the aforesaid Rejected had been bu-
sy, from the moment of the adjournment of the
last Congress, in cooperation with Others bie
and loao, in the design Of finding some pretence
for the Executive to disregard the vote of the
House of Representatives in utter disregard of
the expressed will Of that branch of the Legsla-
ture, and the understood will of the other branch
In short we suppose that the Rejected (now re-
nominated) were found to have been little too
closely connected with the K. c., from whom
they received Instructions, and to whom they
made their reports, long anterior to any ofthose
reports of theirs to the Executive which have
been transmitted to Congress by the Secretary
ofthe Treasury, as HIS Reasons for removing
the public money from where it was at least
safe"

At meeting of the Typographical Associa-
ton of New York, held on the 18th instant, the
following letter was received and ordered to be
published. A. Fl. KRAUTH, Sec'y.
Extract from the Minutes
WASHINGTON Cry, Feb. 81, 1884.
As member of the Typographical Asso-
citation of New York. deem it my duty to
inform you of probable call on the compo-
Sitors OF your city to repair to this place, for
the purpose of superceding the hands now en-
ployed in an extensive establishment We ex-
pect to have to stand on our reserved rights"
shortly, and we wish to do it manfully, and with
out opposition from a single member of the
profession. Prices are not on object-princi-
pies are the groundwork upon which we act
Our rights are invaded-our liberty of action in
private matters is called in question; and the vi
tai principle Of freedom-the liberty of opinion
has been assaed Ihave no hesitation in as
surfing the members of the profession here that
we shall be supported in our struggles by our
brethren of New York.
The withdrawal of the motion made in the
Senate at Albany for the establishment OF Ten
Million Bank, is by no means an abandonment
of that project We understand Committee
went up to Albany yesterday on the subject
and friend called in, to say to us, that ne
learns from them there is every probability the
Bank will be Incorporated. He further informs
us, that it is to be founded upon foreign capital.
Should this Bank plan really be adopted, it will
not show the belief at Albany in General Jack
sons assertion that the introduction of foreign
capital is an injury to the country-nor will it
much further his scheme of reducing the coun-
try to metallic circulation, as set forth both by
himself and Mr.. Senator Wright.

An AWkpord Reception.-One New Years
Eve, very deaf porter took basket of fish to
the house OF the Rev. MIR. Fallager, at Downing
ton, ana alter knocking several times at the front
door without being answered, went round to the
back, but with no better success. The Rever-
end gentleman, in the interim, had opened the
front door, when, perceiving no one and the
knocking being repeated at the back, he went
to answer there: but the porter had again gone
to the 'front.' and commenced still louder
knocking, on which Mr. Fallager, supposing
there were robbers fired a pistol loaded with
powder only, which soon led to an explanation.

Girard Bank Meeting.--The meeting yester-
day at the Girard Bank, drew together vast
number of persons. The hall of the bank pre-
sented host Of visiters We learn that two
meetings were held simultaneously. In one
room a meeting relative to the business of the
bank was held, at which Edward Smith, Esq.
merchant, south wharves, was called to the chair
and William Newell Esq. merchant, was secre-
tary. Their proceedings will be found in ano-
Their column; among them was a resolve, "that
a book be left at the Merchants Coffee House,
in which stockholders of the bank may inscribe
their names, the number of shares, and whether
they approve or disapprove of the measures of
the directors"
We learn that there were in the banking house,
men who were shouting hurrah for Jackson"
turn out the disorganizers," &c. and among
this class were hosts from the custom house ar
my, some of whom, it is said, must have been
astonished at finding themselves bank stock
holders.
The great press of people into the upper rooms
and entry of the bank, rendered any proceeding
almost impossible. Another meeting was orga-
nized and carried on it's business at the same
time with that over which Mr.. Smith presided.
Both claim majorities-one for giving up, and
the other for retaining, the deposites The
meeting in favor Of the former movement, we
have already stated, voted to place the book at
the Coffee House. Not being directly concern
ed IN the meeting, we only saw the immense
crowd which filled the street in front of the bank.
Great excitement prevailed throughout the af
ternoon, and those opposed to the retaining of
the deposites complain loudly of the proceed
ings of the opposite party, constituted, it ap-
peared, at and for the occasional. S. Gaz.
The currency.-Two or three letters received
in town yesterday morning state that one of
the pet Banks in the interior of Georgia, had
stopped payment. We abstain from mention
ing its name until we have full authority for the
fact.
Accounts from Port Deposit, Maryland state
positively that the Port Deposit Bank had sus-
pended payment for a short time! We believe
there are large number of the notes of this
institution circulating in this city and state.
The Experiment goes brave by on.
