Correspondence oftho Courier & Enquirer.

Washington, FEB. 90.
II was my intention to have proceeded with
the case OF the State Bank of Illinois. bnt some
reference having been made 10 the Washing
ton Bank in the examination on Saturday eve.
before the House, will first notice il. On
that occasion letter was read, without sigma
ture, which had been transmitted by Whitney
to several Banks as a recommendation. The
object of reading il in the House was TO exam
inc Whitney a. TO the fact, whether Mr.. Ken.
dali was or was not the author of that letter.
The House prohibited the enquiry, but there is
no doubt that Kendall was the writer.
This letter bears date the Esd July, 1885.
and | presume is in your possession | call
your attention to the following remark, exlrac-
ted from it.--"The President and Secretary of
the Treasury, know, view the subject in the
same light that do, and will be gratlficd ifthe
Banks will establish such an agency, and from
his talents, experience and fidelity, no appoint
ment pould be more acceptable 10 them, than
that Of Mr. Whitney," &c. So much for Mr..
Kendall, as 10 the Secretary Of the Treasury.
Now compare this statement with the letter of
Mr. fancy 10 Mr. Ellcott and Mr. r. Johnson.
and the testimony Of Mr. Woodbury., before the
Committee Of investigation, and reconcile them
if you can.
The Bank Of Burlington has transmitted TO
the Committee, copies of number of letters
written To-, and by Mr. Whitney. They are
too voluminous TO attempt inserting here, but
! will give you two or three short extracts,
from which you may Judge whether this insti.
tuition was influenced by political feelings, in
the transaction Of its business, and whether it
did or did not wish the administration TO under
stand the fact.
In letter dated the 25lh Of January, 1886,
addressed 10 NJ Whitney, the Cashier spea :
king Of the expectations Of tac community, as
to discounts, says
"There has been desire or the part of our
directors to meet thls expectation, and the con-

LETTER TO THE EDITORS.

After passing through many scenes of

Congress has at length began to inquire in

They have left one week in which to do

in preliminary movements When the
Wings had majority in the Senate, they

No man, who is free from the party des-

the course adopted by the government pres

feelings of modification. The degeneracy
ofthe times is enough to s:cken the heart of
any freeman. Take for example the case
of Reuben nj. Whitney, who was tried for
a contempt ofthe House, and whose trial
ended in contemplate farce, after occupy
ing seven days of the session and costing
the nation fifteen thousand dollars. 1t was
intended by majority, from the beginning,
that guilty or not guilty, he should be ex-
culpatcd. He was arraigned, not for his
own trial, but for the trial of Wise and Pey-

China. II seems from the following article
in the N. Y. Evening Star, that the Chinese
government has published decree against the
Missionaries sent 10 That country:
Chridiapiy IN Cbina. The late Chinese
decree by Treasurer Leo and Judge Van, is.
sued against the spreading Of christian books
and missionaries in that kingdom, is a queer
document The way it spells the names Of
Christian adventures TO that empire isa " cau-

these appolativee, wo imagine, their nearest
relatives could not recognize. Think OF their
being buried in strange land with such lingo
on their grave stones What antiquarian
could Identify them7 The decree threatens
death to all in this work. II says also:
"To spread the Christian religion of Eu-
rope is 10 deceive The people. That religion
is, in fact, the ruin Of morals and Of tho hui
man heart, and il is on tina; account that at all
times ii has been prohibited, and according TO
the instructions that our ancestors have trans.

corruption Of this adminstration--an cxhi-
btion of what is meant by "lattcning on the
spois."
The proceedings of Congress have taken
somewhat of business character the
Sc nate have had under consideration and
have passed to thhd reading, last eve
ming, Wrights bill for the reduction of
duties, with various amendments. The
House is engaged in the consideration of
the appropriation bills, which will occupy
the residue Of the session.
On Wednesday, the 22d inst. the Presi-
dent had levee. AT an early hour the

Of all sorts and sizes, from the 10y of three
feet to the veteran Of whitened ocks-the
rich and the poor-the gentleman and the
'loafer'-the men in power and the men
out of power--Whigs and Van Buren, men
the ladies' too-all crowded in masses to
pay their respects, for the last time, to the
man, whose lettering frame indicates that
even hickory cannot whilst and the storms
and tcmpes is of age.
An increased number Of petitions for he
abolition of slavery and the slave trade il
the Distrie of Columbia, have been presen
ted this session. In the Senate, the chai
has decided, that, on the presentment of ;
petition there must be motion to receiv,
it, and if its reception is objected to by any
member, the question of reception must b.
etermined by vote of the Senate. TIL
con sequence is, that when an abolition pc
tition is offered, it is objected TO by som
one, and then motion which precludes n
debate, is Immediately made and carried
to lay the motion to receive on the table
This is, in effect, rejection Of the petition
seems not to be very consistent with tn
right Of petition--yet this course is sus
tanned by the votes of the northern Va

Shipprecks. On the 25th Dec last there
were no less than five large vessels and near
" dozen coasters wrecked on the coast Of
France, near Havre; and among them, it is
reported was the packet ship Eric, Of n. y
lost, with all hands and two passengers-thero
being only two on board. The New York
papers do not credit the loss Of the Erie. We
have also noticed accounts Of vessels lost near
New York and this reminds us Of the fact
that GA the occasion of the loss Of the Mexi-
co much blame was attached to The pilots, and
memorials were sent 10 the N. y. Legislature
to alter the pilot laws. These memorials were
receved-a bill is reported adding fire pilets
only tho monopoly is in too much favor with
the democratic legislature the pilot iniuancs

have banking monopolies-canal monopolies

of Office holders. A paragraph from the New

Ttrus-S Stare Trade. We apprehend that
there is an erroneous impression abroad as TO
the constitution Of Texas prohibiting the slave
trade. The impression has been that, under
that constitution, slaves might be brought in
slavers from Africa or the West Indies, landed
in the United States, and carried with impuni-
ty to Texas. To obviate any fliculty Of this
sort, the Congress Of Texas has passed bill,
a copy of which is before us, approved Dec.
81, 1886, providing that any person vino shnll
bring any slaves into Texas, except such as
were previously introduced and held as slaves
in the U. S. coniormably with its laws, shall
be deemed guilty of piracy, and on conviction
thereof shall suffer death. By the constitution
and laws of Texas, then, the foreign slave
trade is placed upon the same footing as by
the constitution and laws Of the u States it
is made piracy. What natural law makes the
slave-trado by Vaisr piracy, and sanotifes, or
rather legOlizes, save-trode by land?

iCj9The Mddlebury Free Press came to
land last week, the first time for month or
so; and we perceive from il that Mr.. Barber
has been hamnering away upon our state
banks Ii is fact, commendable 10 Vermont
banks, that there is not state in the Union
whose banks stand so high in reputation and
have so much of the confidence Of moneycd
men, ms do the banks Of this state. Never
thelesS, il is not impossible that there may be-
something about some of them which the peo-
pie IN. hit desire 10 have different; there may
be something " rotten in Denmark !" and, if
so, it is highly proper that The banks be exam
ined, and every remedy desirable, bo applied.
In this we will 90 with the Free Press but
we cannot see the justice or the propriciy OF
anmadvcrsions which may have tendency to
bring upon all alike that odum which belongs
only 10 those which may be guilty. In all that
we have seen, either in the reports Of J. S.
| Pettbonc, or in the columns Of the anti-bank
newspapers there is not circumstance which
seems 10 us so reprehensible as the course of
one Of the deposiie banks. We refer the Free
Press and our readers to preceding columns
for an explanation. Will the Free Press unite
