ASTOUNDING TRANSACTION.

The federal patriots assert that their Sub
Treasury system. is now, and has been in
partial operation since May, 1881 The
Chancellor Of the Exchequer, Mr.. Cambre-
leng) when he brought forward his Sub-Trea-
sury bill in the House, thus exultingly ex-
pressed himself: "Suppose we reject this bill
and GO home, does the Sub Treasury cease?
No, sir, it must continue as it is now, the lac
ofthe land, and WILL continue through 1888,
'39, 40, and Al, IN SPITE OF ALL THE la
MENTATIoNs HERE on ELSEWHERE" This
was the arrogant language employed towards
the Representatives ofthe AMERICAN PEOPLE,
by one speaking for the Executive and the
Treasury Department
But, to a Sub Treasury transaction, and let
every freeman and patriot ponder it well,
Majnr Brant Of the Quartermasters De-
partment, who was recently promoted to a
Lieut.. Colonelcy, and connected by marriage
with Col. Benton ofthe Senate, we learn from
Philadelphia, was recently in that city, 1--WE
presume ON his way home to st. LOUISE with
n Treasury warrant for thirty thousand dol
lars on the Mat, at that place, payable IN
.4ncricaa gold! What means this mourning
Of expense and risk Of transporting gold to
Missouri l. there no specie in the land Of
fees of the Western States? We venture to
express the belief that there is an abundance
Of it, even at the Land Offices in Missouri,
and probably in the Bank of Missouri at st.
Louis, at the credit of the Government We
have heard, within few weeks past, that the
Treasury Department had given six months
credit on its specie drafts, drawn on some Of
the Ohio Land Offices, to be paid here in spe-
Gle, at the end Of that term. Behold it now
sending gold from Philadelphia to The West
Why, and for what purpose has it been sent
We have been told through the columns ofthe
Globe some scores of times that, Treasury
notes in the West we're worth more than spe-
Gle, for the purposes of remittance. Why
were they not sent, if funds are wanted in the
West; and thereby, obtain for the Govern
mcnt the premium they would command and
also, save to it the expense and risk Of trans
porting gold We all know, that the Quar-
termaster's drafts on the Department, payable
in Philadelphia or New York, would command
premium Of one per cent in St. Louis,
payable in specie. Then. we inquire again,
why was the gold sent, at an expense and risk
10 the public Was it that certain prophecy
may be fulfilled, made two or three years
since that the time ,could speedily orrire, ,chsn
gold 'rould aop up the rirer Mississippi,
and g'isen through The inierslices Of The long
s1sea purses Of the farmers ,rho inhaba The
great raiiey that bears its nams1 Or was il
inr the purpose of proving to the people Of
Missouri, when their ELECTION takes n,,ce

The Charlottesville Republican Of the 18Th inst
says:
~ From the great number Of travellers that pass
through Charlottesville their way othe fashiona-
BILE watering places in this State we presume that
the Springs are to be well attended this year all The
stages are crowded, and every night Two and three
extras arrive also, III The travelling could be per-
formed by railroad to Charlottesville there cannot

crease especially ia the summer months ten fold

PERSECUTION OF CONSERVATIVES
FOR OPINIONS SAKE.

We publish In another column a portion Of the
address OF MIR. MARRIorr the editor ofihe Of Frede-
rick (Md) Times, to the people Of that county, In
relation to the cowardy assault made upon him BY
brute OF the name Of Bender, keeper OF the county
JAIL II II has come 10 this that independent Repub-
lican editors 10 b. thus personally attacked BY
the fedcralsts, for presumng 10 exercise the lawful
liberty of speech, why we have come TO the verge
ofcivi war. II Is we'll known that the independent
editor OF the Cincinnati Republican, has been as
sailed through the columns of the federal print EN-
poyed BY the administration in that city, in such an
indecent and ruianly manner, that Mr.. Ramsay
has been obliged TO appeal for protection 10 The
courts of justice pretty pass, indeed, were iteyen
farther in the back woods! But this brutal conduct
Of the fedcrasis, Is also justified, we learn, b.
kindred spirit In Hagerstowns The editor of the
Courier and Enquirer whose LOT is cast In that place.
has also been personally assaulted and manned, and
has been confined to his room in consequence. In
his paper ofthe llth inst he observes: "thcme has
arrived when i behoovcs every editor Of an indie
pendent press to be prepared for selfdcienceo He
then proceeds TO speak Of shooting down." which
may do very well among the federalis,s up In Ma
ryland, but we have mol quite come TO that here,
though we have supplied ourself with snndry iron
utensils for the simple purpose Of shooting wood
cocks and parridges. That we have escaped MAIN
ing and numbering, when many Of our brethren
have suffered for conscience sake gives us reason to
be thankful. Perhaps the fact Of our being wha, is
called among the sportsmen, "crack shot," has
preserved us from the dangers OF Sub Treasury hy-
drophobia But we will not halloo before we are
out Of the woods"-our time may no, yet have como.

securing, Bullying policy Of the friends of the admi-
nistra,ion Is this the kind Of Republication lha,

Lines 10 1Hs Tree, By Mr., adams During Miss
Ellen Trees visit TO our metropolis, We observed
none more constantly attendant, none apparently
mare charmed, with that remarkable womans ad.
mirable personaiions than Mr.. John Quincy Adams.
Fascinated as we were ourself, we could not but
feel that our own taste was sanctioned by the rre-
scnce Of SO accomplished and profound a critic and
that the fair hirione herself was in the highest de-
gree compmcn,ed BY the circumstance.
Hundreds, who saw and heard Miss Tree, felt all
that Mr. Adams ascribes to her power in the follow
ing lines.
The New York Mirror, from which we copy
them, says:
We would remark IN justice TO Mr.. Adams that
they were 40, pcnned with the remoest view to their
publication; but they do disciedlt to his head
certainly not 10 his heart" III ,'. #

TERRIFIC ExPLoaos-The Powder Magazine,
kept for the use II the armory at Pinsfeld, Mass,
was fired and blown up by some candidate for the
gallows, on The evening Of the lah inst. The Ma
gazine was foolishy situated in the burying ground
in the GENRE Of he town. and contained 900 lbs Of
powder, OF course The explosion, was counter
ftitpresfn,menl" Of young earthquake. Tkebuild
ings, churches, &c. every side were shattered and
well nigh ruined The lombs were torn open; fences
Observation-Disclosures broken walls started from
their foundation, and worse than al the vain bic
Museum attached The Medical institution irrepara-
bly, injured. The rafting among the dry bones must
have been truly appalling. The noise ofthe explosion
is said TO have b.en heard IA miles. Damage seve-
raj thousand dollars.
We win venture tosay that all this came of that
intoeranl and illib,raspr, which Is too frequently
manifested in the land Of steady habits of attempting
to suppress the burning Of guDpowder on the 4h of
July.

The following allcgorical sentiments, pro-
claimed at the celebration Of the 4ih inst. at
Lenox, Ms, by the committee Of arrange
ments, are novel to US, and certainly very true
and pretty.
Agriculture: The heart Of the American Eagle
Commerce and Manufactures: The wings OF the
American Eagle
The Army and Nary: The talons Of the American
Eagle" ...
The committee might have added, and no
doubt without self-reprcach, another sentiment,
not less remarkably true, viz:
Loco, foeoism The cxccment of tho American
Eagle.
