Now we would venture 10 call ninc-tenths OF The
numerous hearers Of the proceedings In the Senate
TO bear out, in pronouncing the above paragraph
| a compound OF falsehood and vulgariiy. Mr. Rives
made no "diIect attack upon the President HIMSELF"
and we challenge the Globe TO point to any portion
Of his remarks which could be justly thus construed
Mr. Riyes has greatly relieved many worthy
friends from the doubts In which they were in
volved," says the Globe. We are truly glad of II.
These doubts" OF any party or persons have done
Mr.. Rives injustice. There can hereafter be no
"doubtD as to his true position. The administration
never made a greater mistake, than in doubling"
the stuff Of which Mr.. Rives is made, or supposing
that he was vassal ofthe President Of party, and
not upright fearless, and independent representa-
tive of sovereign Commonwealth.
"There perfect understanding between
these gentlemen, [Messrs. Riyes and Crilienden,l
as 10 the respective parts they to enact" con-
tinues the immaculate spokesman Of the Executive
And upon what pretence Is this wanton falsehood
madel Why, that while Mr.. Crittenden was speak
ing, Mr. Rives handed the former gentlemen do
cument containing statement TO which Mr.. Rives
had referred, and which M. Crittenden coald not
readily find before him Most heinous offence
Tell il not in Gath, or in Richmond! Mr.. Rves
handed to Mr. Crittenden copy Of public docu-
ment opened at the very page referred to! Shock
ing bad! Who can suppose Mr.. Rives to be any
longer republican! Public documents were not
made for Senators to finger in that way, or crticise
at all Full as they OF the evidences Of the n.y.
pocrisy, inconsistency, bad faith, mismanagement,
and imbeciity of the administration It is not to be
wondered at that the Globe considers it nothing but
federalism to open them and direct attack on the
President himself to analyze their contents!
But, why did not the Globe aude to the subject of
the debate 1t has been carrying on seven years
Spanish war against I" Biddle and the Bank" and
now when Mr.. Rives comes forward, and in the
name of the country forbids alliance between it
and the administration for party purposes the Globe
turns its batteries from the bank upon Mr. Rives Is
its heart melted by its supposed victory the bankl
Or is its wrath against Mr. Biddle turned from him
upon Mr. Rives by the "NsENsIBLE PROCESS Z" From
this studied sence-from ambiguous rumors-from
singular condolences Of expression and congratula-
ons in various quarters, we fear approximations
on this subject, will be fully realized Cannot the
Globe inform us whether one of the cashiers Of the
Bank was an anxious spectator Of the scenes of
Thursday, End is now in this city 7
Honorable administration Honest divorce of
Bank and State! Undefled democracy"

REGAL OF GOV. CASS.

The Baltimore Chronicle says, "there is a rumor
abroad, and which find has been mentioned in sevc
raj papers, that Gov CAss has been recalled from
France" This is the first ntmaton we have seen on
tho subject We, however, think it quite probable ,
how else but by the recall Of representatives abroad
can Mr. VAN buren, provide for the host Of personal
friends whom he has shpwrecked with his Sub treasury
scheme! Besides, it is said, Gov. CAss is CoNsER-
NATIVE REPUBLICAN and the fashion OF the day is to
kick every one of them out of Office

The Globe has, at last, found an occasion to let
loose its long smothered fires Of "white," fred" and
"yellow sulphur" upon Mr.. Rives. The labor of
the volcanic mountain has been great, but the off
spring is really rideulus mus. If the Globe had
let off manly broadsde at the long intended vic
tim, we should have met it fully with the word,
on McDuf ... 49,,
And damn'd be he who first cries hold, enough.
But the wretched and pusianimous personalities,
which its exemplar in the Senate INDUCED, are
closely copied in the sneaking and assassin-ke war
fare upon which the Globe has ventured. What says
the truthful organ of the Executive2
Mr.. RIvEs
The opposition letter writer's have given out,
week since, that Mr.. Rives was preparing TO make
decisive demonstration against the Administra-
ton The prophecy was verified to-day. Mr.. Rives
not only took the charge of opening and directing
the batteries OF the enemy on the Administration,
but gave pledge of his earnest and, as Mr.. Tall
madge would express 1t, incorporating hostility
to Martin Van Buren," by the direct attacks on the
President himself Mr.. Rives has greatly relieved
many worthy friends, by this act from the doubts in
which they were involved by his repeated declara-
tions that he only differed from his Republican
brethren on a single measure. He has now not only
joined the opposition heartily but Is put IN front oil
their battle Mr.. Clay's colleague, MIR. Crittenden,
was prompt to follow and sustain MIR. Rives-de-
tended his consistency-vouched for his patriotism,
and, while he justified all his invective, with cha
racterisic humor, softened the philippe OF his too
eager ally by throwing little pleasant sarcasm into
the debate There was perfect understanding be-
tween these gentlemen TO the respective parts they
were to enact; for we observed that when Mr.. Crit
tenden, without naming the passage he wished to
consult in the volumnous report OF the Secretary oil
the Treasury, and without being able to find 1t, was
promptly furnished with the document, opened for
him at the page by MIR. Rives. This, we imagine,
was conned over at the halfway house, before the
companions took up their journey together, for the
place Of common destination.

Some reports OF MIR. Rives' speech, that we have
seen, do him injustice. A full and accurate report
will soon be published.

In our opinion the attempt that has been made by
the President and his Secretary to connect these de-
falcations of Mr.. Swartwouts with the Banks and
thereby attach stigma to them, and their connex-
ion with the Government as its fiscal agents, but
illy corresponds with that frank and fair detail of
facts which the people look for from those filling
such exalted stations, particularly the former.
Wherein, we ask, is it possible to connect the
banks at any time, either prior or subsequent to the
suspension OF specie payments, with one single item
of these defalcations 1t is not possible Mr..
Swartwout had the sole control of the money under
eyery head as we'll as the bonds. 1.-THE money was
placed in bank, it was at his individual credit and
subject to his order. Does any one say that any of
it. under either head has been withheld by the banks
either from inability want Of disposition to refund
it, We have heard of no such allegation. So
with the bonds. They were in the hands of Mr..
swartwout, subject 10 his control. II deposited in
bank for collection they could be withdrawn by
il paid into the bank, the amount went to his indi-
vidual credit where it stood subject to his CONTROL
until he thought proper to draw check upon it,
and place the amount to the credit of the Treasury
of the United States for which sum SO drawn, the
bank issued receipt or certificate of deposite, and
then, and not until then, did Mr. Swarwout cease to
have control Of the money, and the bank to become
liable to the Treasurer otthe United States for the
sum thus deposited to his credit.
II was a part of the very system that Is now so
strenuously urged Ohe ub-Treasury) under which
these defalcations Of Mr.. Swartwouts took place.
The distractions we're OF moneys and bonds in his
hands subject to his disposition and direction. Not
dollar of the money, which he deposited in the
banks at the credit Of the Treasurer did he, or could
he abstract
How is it now in New York, under the Sub-Trea-
sury system, that has been repeatedly stated, has
been in practical operation since May, 1872 The

relation to Mr.. Swartwouts default will show

With what degree of propriety or justice was It,
that the Secretary said the whole of those defaults
Gncluding Swartwouls) occurred under the old
systems" when the State Bank deposite system,
the President says, had substantially failed in con-
sequence of the suspense Of specie payments"
which took place on tbs 10Th day Of May. 1877

FIGHT WITH A LION.

In the month Of July, 1881, two fine lions
made their appearance in jungle some twen-
ty miles distant from the cantonement of Raj
cote, in the East Indies, where captain Wood
house, and his two friends, Lieutenants Della
main and Lang, were stationed An elephant
was despatched to the place in the evening on
which the information arrived; and on the
morrow, at the break of day, the three gentle
men set off on horseback, full Of glee, and
eated with the hope Of speedy engagement.
On arriving at the edge of the jungle, people
were ordered TO ascend the neigbboring trees,
that they might be able to trace the route of
the lions in case they left the cover. After
beating about the in jungle for some time, the
hunters started the two lordly strangers
The officers fired Immediately, and one
Of the lions fell TO rise no more. His COM
panion broke cover, and took off across
the country. The officers now pursued him
on horseback as fast as the nature of the
ground would allow, until they learned from
the men who were stationed in the trees, and
who held up flags by way of signal, that the
lion had gone back into the thicket Upon
this the three officers returned 10 the edge Of
the jungle, and having dismounted from their
horses, they got upon the elephant; Captain
Woodhouse placing himself in the hindermost
seat. They now proceeded towards the heart
Of the jungle, in the expectation of rousing
the royal fugitive second time. They found
him standing under large bush, with his face
directly towards them. The lion allowed
