 this excitement that hulders of French 'ner-

 nossible that the intelligent city of fNrw-I Ork I
 would draw its inEerences in respect To the | proceedings of the Government, from what
 was said by any individual member of tnIs House, and ouch leSs'fr"tn what was sa'0 ny him. He had supposrd that they would look tO what the House did, and not tO what any member might sag or he m'sreprtsrnIed |" have said. En fact, as it would be rec"IIecteo by all, that his proposition met with support from no one party in the House, and was ae- cisiyely rejected. These were facts which
 were known to the world, and he could not conceive how the excitement referred to could
 have taken place either from what was sa'd
 or done in the House. But, in cOnciusIon' It
 was his wish to glue notice to GH pserchants '
 the United States, that they ,0ere in n0 danger

 Erposure-A curious exposure, of "offi

 made. It is known that Mir. PoINDExTER has been charged with being under the bias of pecuniary obligations to the Bank of the United States. The Globe. in November last, published what it called ''an extract of an official letter of one of the Government Di- rectors, showing that the Bank did accommo' date Mr. P. in an extraordinary manner."- MT. PolNpExTER took the proper means to yindcate his character, and, To this exposure is made. The Secretary of the Treasury Mr. WooDBURY, in reply to a call made ny MT. CLAYTON (of the Senate) for copy of the official letter" above spoken of, says :- !" have the honor to inform you, that among the records and files of this office, there IS no letter or report from any Director or rom d. nv person who has been Director, of the Bank of the United States. which purpOrts to give any account or statement of the transac- 1 the Bank of the United States"
 But the inquiry did not stop at this point. The President had claimed and exercised the power of calling on these Directors, for state ments of the transactions of the Bank, which none of his predecessors had supposed they possessed under the charter of incorporation. It was therefore thought. that this famous ot- ficia letter might have been received by him. For the purpose of obtaining information from that high quarter, on this subject. resolution was adopted by the Senate. making the ne- cessary call on that Department "f the Gov ernment. This resolution was answered by message, dated January IS, 1885, from which we extract so much as relates to the alleged transactions of Senator PolNDExTER with the Bank: inc injunction of secrecy hav- ing been removed.

 ,"Under these circumstances, and for the purpose of preventing misapprehenslOn and injustice. think it proper to communicate, { herewith, copy of the only report made to me by any Director or Directors of the Bank of the United States appointed by the Gov .rnment, since the report Of the 18th Of Aug. v s33. which is already in the possession of ' he Senate. It will be perceived that the pa- /, per herewith transmitted contains n" informa- ion whatever as to, the discounting of Notes pr Bills of Exchange for the account and ben rift of the member of the Senate named in the nor have at any time. received from the Government Directors any report to give any such information.

 The foregoing official cUrp munications from the President and Secretary of the Treasury, exhibit to the world the most barefaccd act of villany and turpitude. which could well be magined.-AIe1andria Gazette.
