WARRINGTON, June 10Th, 1888.
In my letter Of the AID, mentioned that Hender-
son, who had been lmPnssnsd here fee counrfeiring
ed sfter leaving le'terto the Marshal ef ths District
stating that he had been aided by some persons out
of the gaoL The suspicion fell upon woman OF the
same name, residing near the marine barracks who
was arrested together with private IN the marine
corps and Imprisoned. BY some unexplained ma
RHuvre these two individuals carried before the
grand jury, and charged distinguished lawyer al the
bar of this city, with being the nsugaor OF the ac
and the principal alder and abettor The Jury fonnd
a true bill against him, Hpen their testimony on Sa-
tarday last and Mr.. Brant, conscious, OF his nno-
cencc and astonshed at the boldness OF this consp
racy, insisted upon immediate trial The trial took
place Monday last, and the court room was crowd
ed at early hour with witnesses and auditors, ax
ious TO hear it. The excitement was intense. Mr.
Brantis justly popular and his friends attended, IN
large numbers, TO know the result Unfortunately
for the consplrators, the womans character was prov
ed to be Infamous, and her testimony, when cross
examined, SO contradictory and worthless, that no
credit whatever, was given to it, and the marine con-
fessed that he had been lnsgated and employed solely
by the woman. The District Attorney was so well
satisfied of the innocence Of the accused, and ihen
suicency of the evidence, that he dismissed the case
and Mr.. Brnntthus escaped the tolls which had been
set for him, 10 the great JOY and qualification OF his
numerous friends, who focked around him 10 tender

this matter which excited much feeling and inte-

all the pa.tes concerned. The defeat of the sub
treasury bill was TO have been celebrated last night by

funeral and lugubrous procession. rough coffin,
ten twelve feet long, lighled by lamps, as to
show it's form and the inscription, TO be borne by
several of the company and followed by the band,
with tin pans, pipes, old kettles and all OF
oddinsruments making horrld and villanous sound.
The procession was to commence at the west end of
the city, call at Secretary Forsyths, visit the Pres
dent proceed TO the houses of him of the Globe Sc
cretary Woodbury., Kendall, 81 id omne genus, and
salute each with funeral dirge in SAUL by the whole
band After proceeding the eastern section of the
city and visiting old Tecumseh, intended to return
with u de joi. These funeral ceremonies may pos
slbly yet be performed. Calhoun is especially morti-
fed at the defeat Of the sub-treasury scheme, which
he and his poodle Crale lad been laborng to resusi-
tate in the House. The Van Buren, party would have
suffered il TO sleep if it had not been for this restless
and disappointed politician Webster you will recol-
lect, its fate was known gave notice that
he would Gallup The measure introduced by him some-
time ago, respecting The use of banks, as deposito
ries of the public money, &c. On Wednesday, last,
the bill came up for consider ation end Mr. Buchan-
an moved bill introduced by him the day before,
a substitute for Mr.. WIS. bill. .
This bill 10 bottomed on the provisions Of the
Of 1889 and authorizes and requires the Trea -
under the direction ofthe Secretary order the colec
tors and receivers of the public money make special
deposits in gold and silper at leost in sir day
in such banks the Secretary may select and un er
such regulations the Treasurer shall dictate, &c.
Buchanan's proposition was altogether unexpected,
and introduced without consultation with his political
friends. or course Calhoun made violent attack
upon II yesterday, declaring that he would prefer that
OF Mr.. Websters as the lesser evil Of the two;
pressed his astonishment that the Senator should
have abandoned the Sub. Treasury scheme because
had sustained eight defeat in the House contend
ed that It was the only measure that would the
nation from corruption and the government from con.
sodaiion and that il would finally prevail over eve
ry opposition and Improvement Buchanan replied
with some bitterness, that he was as warm supper
ter Of the administrator as the South Carolina Sena-
tor-that he had misconcelved the object o. his bill
that the Sub Treasury measure might be considered
rs dead and that something expected to be SUBJ
stituted Tor IT, &c. Calhoun again replied-sald ne
belonged TO no party-that the administration had
recommended his measure and he would support
them long as they adhered 10 those mcasures-that
he did not lock upon the Sub. Treasury measure as
dead, by any means-t was a slight defeat, and
would be question TO be settled in future years The
opposition responsible for lis defeat and all the
consequences resulting from it. divorce must take
place between the government and banks at time
other the liberties Of the country would be de-
stroyed. His remarks called up Mr.. Clay, who was
more vehement ardent and eloquent this occasion
than have known him TO be during the session.
The debate now became intensely interesting The
galleries became crowded and heated almost TO snlo-
cation. The contest Nvaxed warmer and warmer as
they proceeded-the illusions became mere personal
and the cart and terce kept up for couple OF
hours when Calhoun, with all his dexierty, was en-
trely prostratcd. The mere sketch Of this debate
would do injustice TO both, and give very imperfect
conception Of II. This friend OF the adminstra.
ton was so sgnally exposed that the editor o. the
Globe, who once said he could not speak The truth,
quite rabid with fury in his editorial of IN morn
ing, and, as usual, abused Clay his vulgar style
Today, the debate was continued by Webster, Bu-
chanan, Tallmadge, &c. Buchanan, who 10 always
very courteous and parliamentary in his conduct,
scemed 10 be no match for either of the other two
Tallmadge had evidently The advantage in his supe-
nor knowledge OF banking operations currency &c,
and Webster in the strength of his argument. 1t is
exceedingly doubtful whether any thing more will be
done this session. and Congress will leave the country
precisely as they found il when they first assembled
some seven months ago. Buchanan, it is said here,
does not wish to play secsnd fiddle to Calhouns first
IN Pennsylvania and hence he has chalked out a
course OF his own without consulting any Of his
friends. Big Ben, the Sir Thos. Humbug Of the Sen.
ate swels, pus, and reads his newspaper during the
whole discussion II he seemed not 10 listen 10 such
ignoramusses as Webster, Clay, and Tallmadge TIE
galleries are exceedingly amused ut his sell import
ance and swell. HoRAcE.
