CORRESPONDENTS.
New YoRK, July 8, 1888.

| DEAR SIR Among the vast population of our city
there can scarcely be found individual who is not
reoiced that the labor Of Congress is brought to close
The crpeyimeners feel satisfied that there is standing
majority in the House Of Representatives who will re-
sist their untried scheme successful ythe opponents
of the administration look for relief at the hands of
subseryient Senate-the merchant breahes more free
y in the certainty that, for the next five months, his
operations will not be impeded by mischievous legisla-
tion and all classes gathed at the prospect OF be-
ing rid Of agitation and excitement for the time being
The new bank Of fiy millions Of dollars is said to
be efficiently organized, under the auspices OF
gentleman thigh standing in financial circles, assisted
by retired merchant OF wealth and character, who will
ociate as Vice Presdentand the services Of an able
Cashier are also to be brought in requistion From
what learn of the composition Of the Directors and
officers it is morally certain that the institution will
combine immense strength with undoubted llberalty
in its dealings, and must be productive OF great good
to the community The organization will probably be
announced in n few days 1t is started under the new
bank law.
Our money market is daily improving Stocks rise,
and capitalists feel much confidence In securities
Nv impression is, that by the month OF September next
business will revive TO considerable extent, and the
enterprsng merchants, mechanics and manufacturers
of our metropolis again be enabled to put forth their
energies.
Little Cambreleng has completely aroused the indig-
nation Of the community by his sneerng and contemp-
,uous allusion to the lamentations OF an oppressed
nation.
Perhaps there is no word in the English language
more pertinent and forcibe than that selected by Mr.
c. as the basis Of his codblooded derison OF our ca
lamities.
The whole nation has indeed sent up wall, and
their lamentations have been audbly heard wherever
civilization has reared It's temples in the land
In New York, particularly, the distress has been
protrac,ed and almost insuferable and for own re-
preventative to bid defiance to known will and insult
us in the hour Of tribulaoncaused by his own acts
is TOO much for human nature to bear.
II he does not feel the indignation Of the community
when he returns his constituents is because he has
no heart.

MIR. TALLMADGE,s SPEECH.

We call the attention Of our readers to the
Speech Of Senator Tallmadge against the En-
largement of Executive Power, delivered i'm
promptu on the occasion of the introduction
of Mr.. virgins proposition to abolish the law
Of 1886, regulating the custody Of the public
money.
1t is in the true style of Mr.. Tallmadge-
of-hand -direct-business like-pungent and
conclusive, not to say scathing. 1t is inf
nitely creditable to his reputation as ready
and effective debater, and sagacious, clear
headed, high-minded statesman
While it exposes the real character of Mr..
Wrights proposition, in its length and breadth,
and naked deformity, it places, at the same
time, its author and supporters in position,
anything but envable or comfortable. How
lofty must be Mr.. Senator WriGht's pride OF
consistencyl How patriotic and dignified the
last and lachrymose confession and determi-
nation Of Mr.. Senator Strange! But how
daring, how desperate, how outrageous, how
despicable, the last "expedient" Of the " dis
graced, degraded and defeated" party! How
just, how modest, the pretensions Of this fede-
raj party in power to the name and principle
of democracy!
Every true Republican, every foe to ytede-
ralsm, will read this speech with satisfaction.
It's brevity viii commend it to extensive re-
publication.

A TRUE PICTURE--LEGERD
OF THE EDITOR OF THE
OFFICIAL ORGAN.

The following is extracted from a speech
delivered on the 18th June, in the House Of
Representatives, by the Hon. j. w. Crockett,
member from Tennessee.
In reference to denial Of some charge
made by Mr.. Crockett, in letter written to
one of his constituents. he inquired
What does the denial Of Francis p. Blair amount toi
Is it universally known that he will neither speak
write the truth when he can invent falsehood and
that he will either affirm deny any thing in the world,
just it may suit his purpose? Then, sir, repeat the
nterrogatory, what does his denial amount to!
And he then proceeded:
Sir, by way Of illustrating the baseness and perfdy
Of this official editor will relate trick that he played
off at the commencement Of this session hope
the fact not forgotten by the House the country
that the President refused to allow to the printer Of this
House copy Of his message under the ordinary njunc
tons, previously to its being read, shown by
correspondence in the Madisonian soon after. This
then believed, and stil believe, low and pful
manevre Of His Excellcncy, to throw patronage in
the way Of the Globe. The consequence was, thar the
printer Of this House unable TO supply the members
with the message until he could print them after It was
delivered, unless he would allow them to be furnished
by this favored editor Of the Globe Owing this fact,
/ and many others compelled either to submit to
the delay, or buy from the Globe Office Knowing the
great anxiety Of my constituents to the message
possible adopted the latter alternative. or
dered two three hundred and they sent to
me already envcloped l had sent them all away but
two three, before opened Of them; and, sir,

covered prospectus of the Extra Globe smngged in
il! Thus. you see, sir, by gross fraud upon the Go
vernment and base imposition on me, was made to
frank to my constituents, for aught know two
or three hundred prospectuses Of the Extra Globe!
spoke OF II to several gentlemen, who Informed me that
the same trick had been played off upon them. Now,
sir, any man believe that wretch who is capable Of
such smuggling, fraud and ueachery, this, in small
matters, would not be capable Of any crime, matter
how infamous, If he though he could escape detection
and punishment!
We should be glad to see the above copied
into every paper in the country, that the peo-
pie generally may be made acquainted with
the character Of him who conducts The official
organ of The Government!

DISGUISED NATIONAL DEBT--DECEP-
TON PRACTICED ON THE PUBLIC
--INCOMPETENCY OF THOSE IN
TRUSTED WITH THEM TO MANAGE
THE PUBLIC FINANCES.


THE PUBLIC FINANCES.
Independent Of some ten to thirteen mil
lions of public debt that will have accrued
when Congress come together again, and Of
which the public are already apprized, there
is yet another sum Of National debt of some
millions, that has been created in a clandes-
tine manner, and so concealed that few are
aware of the fact. 1t consists Of the sums pro-
vided in the Indian treaties, latterly negotiated
and ratified, that should be invested by the Co
vernment in public stocks, for their benefit
These sums, we understand, amount in the ag-
gregate to two to three millions Of dollars. In
stead Of these sums being invested as contem-
plated in the treaties, the Government becomes
the debtor to the Indians and pays the interest,
and thus to all intents and purposes Nation
al debt is established. But this is not ALL
The attempt has been made to conceal the
fact from the people. Congress itself has
been led to suppose they were furnishing the
supplies to pay off these obligations. When
the harbor bill was before the House, the
Chancellor of the Ercheq.er (Mr. Cambre-
leng,) begged they would not load it down
with amendments, on account Of the large
amount Of" expenditures Of the Government
for the coming year," among which he emu
merated "Indian annuities and treaties" to
the extent of three millions and quarter dol
lars, Subsequently, when the bill to authorize
the sale Of the bonds of the Bank of the United
States was before the House on its passage,
Mr.. Cambreleng said, he "dd and had OBJ
jected to the Government keeping Of those
bonds in any form; but Congress had allotted
$l,l50,0o0 on account the Cherokees; other
Indian treaties had been ratified involving some
$l,600,00O within the last three weeks, and
of which the Committee of Ways and Means
knew nothing till within the last ten days."-
These were the reasons urged for authorizing
sale of these bonds. Now what will the
people think, when they learn. that not one
dollar OF the sums involved in the Indian trca-
hes' is to be, or was expected to be required
TO be paid over in money at the time these re-
presentations were made 1t had some time
previously been resolved upon to make the

list of the acts public and private passed at the
late session Of Congress, and statement of the pro-
motions and changes in the ARMY will be found on
the first page. The statement, which we copy from
the Inelligencer is charged by the Globe to be in
official and incorrect in some particulars. We be-
lievc that some of the names presented by the Ex-
ccutive as candidates for promotion, were rejected
by the Senate We shall see what they are, when
the news round TO us through the slow and ex-
elusive channel of Government patronage.

fused TO obey the instructions Of the Legisla-
ture Of their State from whom they derived
their political official existence. but they offered
an insult to that body! This was all right in
the estimation Of 1.-THE party" who pretend to
hold to the doctrine of instructions; because,
as one Of those Senators avowed on the fioor
Of the Senate, on their two votes might, and
probably would, depend the passage OF the
Sub-treasury bill in the event Of its passing
the House. Yet these Senators (Messrs.
Smith and Niles) are honorable men, consis-
tent and patriotic
So with Mr.. Wall. He too was instructed.
Did he conform to "our doctrine of instruc-
tonsl' No. lie repudiated the wishes Of
his constituents, and disregarded their instruc-
tons.
Mr.. Wright also; he received an express
sion Of the opinion and wishes of an over
whelming majority Of the immediate represen-
tatiyes of his constituents, against the Sub
treasury. He treated them with scorn.
The two Senators from Ohio; they, like
tnosc from SonhccuCut, WctO uiSo hSu"et0u
by their Legislature. They too were honor
able and patriotic men, and refused, by dis
obeying them to sanction I" our doctrine of
instructions"
Why, General Jackson, and Mr.. Van Blu
rem, both considered their election to the Pre-
sidency. after they had declared themselves
opposed to National Bank, as instructions Of
the people to them never to give their sane
ton to the creation Of such an institution
How perfect the principles, how beautiful
the consistency of Sub-treasuryism!

with any party purely personal in its character;
declared that all occasions he had been actuaed

Constitution Of the United States, and in no instance
had he deviated in sentiment or vote from those
principles which he had imbibed from the standard

THfsE are but different notifications o,
the same disease arising from the same cause
distinguished by the same diagnosis, and
curable by the same remedies. Their com
mon cause is an irregular action OF the Elcc-
tro- Galvanlc forces in the system, they may
all be detected by pressure upon the sides OF
the vcrtibrn and glands Of the neck, which
elicits the Electro-Galvanic Symptoms, and
they may be cured by these Electro Magnet
ic remedies. The latter are accompanied by
a compcndious medical treatise, explaining
the principles of the discovery upon which
they arc founded, and stating the manner in
which they are to be applied. In this work
DIR. Sherwood demonstrates the fact that eve-
ry part of the human body, together with
every particle of animate and inanimate mat
ter, is either in a negative or positive state
of electricity and that every motion, in all
matter, whether in the largest masses or in
the smallest particles, is produced by the at
tracing and repelling forces Of this unlver-
sal principle. The morbid action which pro-
duccs disease ofthe organs or limbs,hc proves
to be occasoned by the undue preponderance
Of one Of these forces in. the system, and his
remedies restore health by subduing this ir-
regular action to an equilibrium. by this
means, tie very seeds Of the disease are
eradicated, and n permanent cure effected,
even in cases where all hope of relief from
other sources is abandoned. The Electro.
Magnetic Remedies are the only preparations
applicable to this prevailing class Of disease,
and they never disappoint the confidence re-
posed in them. They can be used with per-
feet safety and success, without dieting, OF
any Inconvenience.
