 Martin, the Prophet-The author of the celebrated letter to Sherod Williams, written less than year ago, expresses the following opinion as to the excellent operation of the pet bank system, in that letter:
 "I sincerely believe that the PUBLIC FUNDS can be as SAFELY and CONVENIENTLY TRANSMITTED from one portion o the Union to another-that DOMESTIC Ex- CHANGES can be as successfully and cheaply effected, a9d 1SN the GuSRENGT at east as sCgnd under the EX objects could be accomplished by National Bank.'' That was his sincere belief" on the 18th August, 1886. What does he think by this timei? Will the President be in favor ol returning former agroUed modes of managing our exchanges and moneyed con- cerns; or will he recommend few more experiments "a Treasury Bank, with Woodburyor or Whitney, or Post Office Bank, with Kendall for chief officer? An oceholders Bank of some sor the spoilers are very anxious for Will the "author of the letter to Sher- rod Williams indulge them in this modest desre by recommending the measure? We shall see.-Patriot In the last General Assembly of this State, there was decided and devoted ma iority of Van Buren members in each House. In making up their deben ture, House took pay for eight and the other fol seven days more than they in session. and this without including four days Tn the session during which they adjourned and went home, without ever meeting. These will make twelve days in one House | and eleven in the other, for which they took pay without any services rendered. The whole sum thus drawn from the treasury without law right, amounts to several thousand dollars.
 In making up their contingent expenses, about six ty dollars allowed for Penknives and Ice, procur ed for the use of the members.
 Four members of the House of Representatives held offices under the authority of the United States. committee was appointed to inquire into this sub ject, who kept 1t in their hands until just the As sembly was about to adjourn, and then made puff
 fling report characteristic of the party, without deci- ding the question way the other thus suffering the State Constitution to be violated in an open and shameless manner.
 Resolutions were passed by an almost unanimous vote in the Senate, directing the Senators and Repre- rights and interest of the State in the public ands and the avails thereof. These resolutions were kept back from the House of Representatives, and were never brought before that body, and of were lost.
 Some explanation of these measures is loudly cal led for; and the call will be repeated, until some an- swer is given to it, until new Assembly is elected. Connecticut C0urdnt.
