The answer is plain and conclusisI--

"a better currency" than this best one
ever known; and he found sycophantic
servile Congresses to sanction, # not

A writer in tie New Haven Regis
ter, one Of the organs Of the admins
tratiOn in Connecticut, strongly urges
the expediency and necessity Of ma
tional bank. He says: There is no
mistake about il; we must have some
general currency; and it must be pa
per currency founded on specie basis:
we must have currency which will be
just as good at New Orleans. st. Louis
or Baffalo, as it is at New Haven and
Hartford, and pass just as freely
from hand to hand without discount.
State institutions can never furnish
such currency: the experiment ha
been sufficiently tried, and is now al.
acknowledged failure. There is nc.
hope from that source. Nothing short
ola national institution. with powerful
restrictions, can accomplish it; that can
lit has done it; and can again" ID.
Suit against Amos Kendall. Stock
ton & Stokes have a-largeR claim
against the Government for mail con-
tracts, which Kendall, from personal
or political motives, refused to pay.
They applied by petition to the Senate
for redress: Kendall wrote to the Com
mittee, requesting them to place no
confidence in what the petitioners
may say, but leave it in his hands.
The Committee treated him with con-
tempt, and by law ordered the SoIici-
tor Of the Treasury to examine the
accounts, and award to Stockton &
Stokes what may be honestly due them;
also, by law, ordered Amos Kendall
ON that award to pay the amount forth
with. This he refused to do, and the
Plaintiffs applied to the District Court
to compel Kendall by a mandamus to
pay the mUney.@On the return of the
writ, this functionary denied the pow
er ofthe Court to cGHRpe4-him or the
President or any of the heads of De-
partment to answe::, and fortified his
position by an opinion of Mr.. Butler,
the Attorney General, that the Court
had no power over him.
Under this color Of law and official
protection are citizens swindled out of
their just claims by a public servant,
IN direct opposition to the unanimous
will of Congress. This is a sample Of
the m:sgovernment of this country
where the honest creditors ofthe Gov
ernme2t are defrauded by the corrup
tiOnists entrusted with power. They
consider themselves above all law, anC
beyond the reach of public opinion.

The citizens Of Rochester. NJ. Y. also

A dispute bct,Deen men Of honor
The pleasant Satirical "I1lckwick pa.
pers' furnish the following amusing de-
scription Of a dispute between two
young gentlemen of honor, which seems
to have been conducted withmuch spir-
ii on both sides:
1.-THE bclligerents vented their fee
lings of mutual contempt for some time
in a variety of frOwnings and snortings.
until at last the scOrbutic youth felt it
necessary TO come to a more explicit
understanding on the matter, when the
following clear understanding took
place.
Sawyer" said the scorbutic youth,
in a loud voice.
"Well, NOddy," replied Mr.. Bob
Sawyer.
Il should be very sorry, Sawyer"
said Mr.. NOddy, ''tO create any unpleas-
antness at my friends table, aud much
less at yours, Sawyer-very; but ]
must take this opportunity of informing
Mr.. Guntcr that he is no gentleman"
"ARd / should be very sorry, Saw

"Why not, sir" inquired Afr. Noddy

into the false beliefthat agentleman ha,
been to see you, sir" replied Mr.. Gun
ter.
Sir, a friend of mine shall wait on
you in the morning" said Mr.. Nod
dy.
"Sir, I'm very much obliged to yot
for the caution, and I'll leave partlcu
lar directions with the servant 10 loci
up the spoons" replied Mr.. Gunter.
At this point the remainder of ths
guests interposed and demonstrated
with both parties on the improperly o
their conduct, Oh which Mr.. NoddN
begged to state that his father wa
quite as respectable as Mr.. Gunter'
father, and that his fathers son was a
good man as Mr.. Noddy, any day il
the week.
As this announcement seemed tn
prelude to a commencement of tn
dispute, there was another interference
on the part of the company; aud vas
quantity Of talking and clamoring en-
sued, in the course Of which Mr.. Nod
Edy gradually allowed his feelings Il
horsepower him, and prOfessed that b,
had ever entertained a devoted per
sOnal attachment towards Mr.. GunteT
To this Mr.. Gunter replied that, upol
the whole, he rather preferred MI
NOddy to his own brother. On hear
ing which admission, Mr.. NOddy may
unanimously rose from his tea, and prof.
fering his han,l to Mr.. Gunter. MI
Gunter grasped it with affecting feryor
and every body said that the disput
had been conducted in a manner whic
was highly honorable to both partie
concerned"
