POSTSCRIPT.
c D N G r T. s 8.

The N. Y. Commercial Advertiser of
last evening, contains the proceedings
of Congress on Tuesday, received by
Express mail.
In the SENATE, the bill authorising the
issuing Of Treasury notes.-the bill pro-
viding for further extension of the time
on Merchants revenue bonds-and the
bill for adjusting the unsettled claims on
certain depositc banks-were severally
taken up, read third time and passed.
Mr.. Rives introduced a bill for the
designation Of funds receivable for the
public dues, md advocated it in speech
Of great length and earnestness, differ
ing from the President with regard to
the proposition he had submitted to COL
lect the revenue in gold and silver, which
he thought had many objections, and
ought to be met promptly.
In the House, MIR. Bell was eng aged
in making powerful speech. against the
Senate anti-deposite bill.

| Mr.. CALHoUN's 1sTENTIONs.-The ques.
ton as to Mr.. Calhoun's intentions in regard
to the measures recommended by the Presi-
dent in his recent message to Congress is
settled by himself as will be seen by the fol-
lowing extract of a letter from him, to the
editor of the Alexandria Gazette.
"On the highly important subject on which
Congress has been called to deliberate, shall
express my views and opinions in my place
in the Senate.
"How strange, that any man who knows
me, should imagine it possible for Inc to be
driven or seduced from my position! ] live
to carry out the great principles for which I
have been contending since lS24 and which
have maintained under every danger and
difficulty.
In their defence have acted with and
against every party, without bending with
any. Mr.. Van Buren, has been driven into q
position favorable to their advancement; and
shall not avail myself Of the opportunity
which it affords me to accomplish my Object?
Shall permit him to drive me from my posit-
ion, because he has driven on it? All ! ask
Is to be heard"

= AFLoAr .AGAIs-We infer, from IN article
in the Madsonan, the official paper Of the
House Of Representatives, that the President
is preparing to renounce his own proposit-
ions, in regard to the subireasuy scheme
The Madisonian says:-
"Asde from the Presidents general char
acter, from which we should infer his wishes
on this subject, we are assured that he is mol
toedded TO this proposition, AND WOULD MUCH
PREFER THAT TT SHOULD NOT BE- ADOPTED,
If THE MAJORITY OF HIS POLITICAL FRIENDS
SHOULD DEEM II INExPEDIENT."
Here's Roman frmness! We trust the
President will abandon his message soon,
else before he is aware of it, he will find him
self in the most rueful minority the world
ever saw. The nation is renouncing the per-
nicious doctrines of the message, and pro
claiming their Indignation in voice potent
as thunder. 1t Wilt must be heard.-[.N

There never was a party more COM
P'etely used up than the Tories have
been in Maine, at the late election
That tate has exceeded all the States
which have preceded it, in its overthrow
Of Toryism. The Wing gain, at this
one heat, says the Portland Advertiser,
may be estimated at TEN THOUSAND votes!
Such change as this in public senti-
ment, as it were all al once, is wholly
unexampled among US. Rhode.Island
done well, nobly, but Maine has done
better. The returns by last evenings
Boston mail were not entirely complete.
A few very small towns and parishes re-
mained to be heard from. Giving the
Loco Focos all they had in those towns
at the election in 1884, which was the
largest vote they ever made in Maine,
the Wing candidate for Governor, Ed
ward Kent, is elected by about 500 ma
jority.
The complexion of the Legislature
was not distinctly known-probably To-
ry, by very small majority.

| New STEAMBoAT.-A new steamboat de.
signed TO run between this city and N. York
in connexion with the Branch Rail Road, ha.
been commenced by Col. John s. Eddy, al
Eddy's Point. She is TO be vessel of the
first class. Her dimensions are 196 fee,
keel, about 207 feet on deck, "a feet beam
about 40 feet breadth including the guards
and 10 feet hold. Her engine is to be fur
nisheG by Mess Babcock & Co. of this city,
and is to be as follows:-48 inch cylinder
IL feet Strickland upwards Of 200 horse
power. Good judges speak Of the model of
this boat, as one Of superior order and it is
anticipated that she will be quite equal to any
one which has ever navigated the sound
The model is one of Col. Eddy's own con-
struciion, and his ability as a naval architect
is a sufficient guaranty, that his efforts will
fully realise the public expectation.
The establishment from which the engine
is to be furnished, has fully tested its ability
to execute its part of the work in as good
style, and in as correct principles, as any
other; and will, doubtless, in this instance do
its best. Doct. Richmond, who leads the en-
terprsc, is unrvaled in the aptitude and de.
termination to "go ahead" and nothing which
he undertakes, is suffered to be turned OIL
without the finishing touch.
Capt. w. II. Townsend, who is to com.
mand the boat ruperintends her construction
and equipment. This gentleman is too well
known us highly accomplished commander,
to require encomiums. That he is to tread
the quarter deck Of this noble vessel, is suf-
fcient warrant that she will be well found in
every respect, and receive the public aPpro-
baton and patronage. She is to be ready
for operation about the first Of April.-tP Prov

SUB TREAsCRIEs.--The editor of the
Washington Globe, in 1884, was violently
opposed to the Sub-Treasury system as re-.
commended in Mr.. Van Buren's late Message.
He used the following true but strong Ian
guage on the subject. The proposition was
brought forward by Mr.. Leigh of Virginip.
"The proposition is disorganising and Rev.
outionary, subversive of the Fundamental
principles Of our Government, and its entire
practice, from 1889 do,cn to this day.

MULruM IN PARvo.-The Alexandra Ga
zette thus exhibits the sum and substance OF
the Van Buren Message
As the extreme length Of the Presidents
Message will deter many persons from read
ing it, the following synopsis and condcnsa-
ton Of its contents is given, after most
careful reading Of the whole document.
"Ipropose no steps for the general relief Of
the COUNTRY, but recommend 10 facilitate
the operations Of The GOVER.N.NE.N'T, by
the establishment ofthe sub. Treasury system"
This, we believe, will be found to contain
the sum and substance of what has taken us
several hours to read. We have manufactur-
ed, at least, one labor saring paragraph.

One PLAIN FACr.-The party in power
have had, for years, absolute control of all the
powers and resources Of the government
they have carried out all their schemes with
out let or hndrance, tramping down all op-
posing obstacles, and the result is universal
arrangement and bankruptcy.
Another. During the whole administra-
ton of the U. s. Bank, from 1917 to 1S33 the
currency of this country was incomparably
the best on earth. Exchanges wero made,
and the whole business of the country was
carried on with ease, safety, and uniformity.
There was no complaint among any class Of
people; every trade and occupation flourish
ed. There was no embarrassment for the
want Of circulating medium-no shin.plas
ters, for specie was abundant enough for all
the purposes Of change, and U. 8. Bank
bill would bring the specie in any town or
city in the Union. This great regulator was
struck down, and the result is universal de-
rangcment and bankruptcy.
The first and obvious inference from these
facts is, that we have departed from the sure
path Of experience and safety, and that a
prompt return is the shortest mode Of relief
In this way alone (says the Newark Sentinel)
Mr.. Van Buren may safely tread in the foot
steps of his predecessor.

EXCURSION TO BLOCK-IsLAND.-We were
among the number 1.-TWO hundred and up.
wards) who participated in the pleasures OF
the excursion to Block Island, in the fine
steamer Kingston, on Friday last. We have
not time or room at present, to relate in detail
all the various incidents of the excursion
did we believe they would be of any interest
to our readers. Suffice to say, however, the
day was rather unpleasant wind strong
from the eastward-the sea very heavy:-and
the goodly group on board as sick as old O.
cean's waves could make them; and who nev-
er, in oil their lives again, we venture to say,
will embark in any boat on such an excursion,
at such time, merely for the pleasure of it.
Too much praise in behalf of the boat, and
her gentlemanly and accommodating CON-
mander and clerk, cannot be awarded. There
is not boat that navigates the Sound that
could have stemmed the terrific sea between
DlockIsland and Brenton's reef, with greater
ease and safety, than did the Kingston on
that day. II was indeed trial Of strength
with her, and she weathered it to the admira-
ton Of all on board. The sea was so rough,
that it was impossible to land on the Island.
Great credit is particularly due to Capt VIM.
Vars, who voluntarily stood at the wheel fy
nearly six hours, in the absence of the boats
pilot, who in common with the rest, was most
freely casting up his accounts.
