as the gentleman said but il was conspiracy TO put
the minority into power, contrary TO the constitution
OF pennsylvania and required mel the interference OF
the National Government or any other government TO
support her rights. The excitement at Harrisburg
was anticipated, for the minority had announced
their determination to force spurious Legislature
upon the State. He renewed the motion TO lay the
subject on the table.
Mr.. BlDDLE appealed TO the gentleman 10 with

Mr.. CAMBRELENG submitted motion that the
special report upon the defacation Ia the NJ " Gus

SO much as relates 10 the modification Of the reve-

Mr.. WISE rose to move, he said, that the subject
be referred TO the Committee OF the Whole on the
State Of the Union. When General Jackson left
The Presidency, he said, he leil behind him certi

Them told the country then, sir thathonest Lewis
department was rotten 10 the core and called for
investigation; but the President promptly let us
know that his honest officers were above our scruti-
n.y. II has since been proved that these honest Off
GERS could not keep their hands from picking and
stealing, in large way, and in small way too.
They were guilty Of grand larceny and petit lar
ceny.
The Sub-reasury has run away, and il never
would be kept stationary, unless you stop steam
navigation between New York and Liverpool Now
that millions have been stolen, they offer US an in.

DELUsIoN BREAKING-EYEs OPENING.

The two legged loco motive subtreasuTy, which
has been TN practical operation since May, 1887"
according to Mr. Wright, and which " iciH continue
in operation through lS3940 and Al in spite Of Ia
mentations here elselchere" according to Mr. Cam
breleng, is working miracles. The fact that mil
lions Of money falling through the leaks Of the
Treasury, are opening the eyes of many hitherto
blind partizans OF the administration to the merits
and beauties of the system they have gnorantly sup
ported and to the strange and chaotic condition of
the Treasury Department.
We quote the following from the Worcester lNass.)
Palladium a paper that has advocated the Sub-lrea-
sury and the Loco-foco party, with distinguished
zeal. Speaking Of the necessity Of frequent exami-
nations of the accounts of officers having charge of
the public monies, it INDUCES the following extraor
binary vein OF candor
It is evident that there has been too much remiss-
this point If we are rightly informed there
is also great need of the introduction of a regular
system of bookkeeping in the Treasury Department
There is no reason why the accounts OF the govern
ment should not be kept with all the method and ex-
acness of a private commercial establishment
contrary practice it is said has prevailed for long
while The people have deep interest in the inte-
gritty Of their public officers, and il searching in
vesligation into all their affairs should develope Off
cial corruption, dsinteresled friend of the Admi-
nistration will object to its exposure.
BY the following extract from the correspondence Of
the New York Journal Of Commerce. it will be seen
that the Mammoth Bank Of Mississippi playing the
same game in regard to the resumption of specie pay
ments that distinguished another year. by
its endeavor "to discourage all premature attempts to
resume" Meantime it reves without restraint in its
cotton speculations, will be seen by its circular in
another column.
VfcKspuRG, Dec. a. 1898.
"The Convention have adjourned, and could not
agree about resuming at any definite period. All the
Old River Banks will resume on the first Of January
next. The Union Bank would not agree to resume
She has issued nothing but post notes. payable LIST Of
August next The Marshalls got nothing on judgments
but Union Bank Post Notes 1t is slow work to change
the different kinds make remt,ances Of the small
collections lately made never knew money so scarce
The collections for your merchants nothing but
Union Bank, Water Works Banks Of Vickburg &c
The Rail Road Bank will take Oh deposite any thing
but Old River Banks, or such others as will resume on
the LIST Of January and for all money of this kind she
will give checks at four months, at par after the of
January. You can get specie exchange much lower
Brandon money has no fixed value-The Bank is col
lectng her debts very fast and the impression is that
in the spring her bills will improve very much They
have ceased 10 circulate" ~"@

Tie .Mmes Rircr Canal and its Prospects.

Tie JGMeS RiECF Canal ana us Prospects.
We understand that the President and Directors re-
connoilred the Canal this City Friday est-lhe
they urging s consummation, with all the means
ard c.s hey possess-and that they are striving 10
open il by the Isl OF December We may calculate with
some degree Of confidence, that they will open II from
the LIST The 18th Of the month We aware, that the
delay which has taken place in the accomplishment OF
This noble work. has seriously injured The interests, and
provoked the resentment, OF many OF the respectable
manufacturers, whose establishments have been suspend
! ed by the withdrawal of the water.
Various complaints lave been urged against the Pre-
sdent Directors, Engineers &c, on this work, and we
respectfully think unju.ty. We ought 10 consider the
great labor Of excayaling Canal, which in many
cases to lie cut out of solid granile-We ought 10
slider how much this obstacle alone, would have de.
ayed the work, well defeated the sangune cal
culatiors The anxious predictions of the President
and Directors We must e.G!ae the vast quantity
| Of earth which has been excavated; of walls that
have been built, and OF the granite rock which was
to have been blasted. On looking to these elements
alone, is almost inclined 10 believe that the work
men who 10 be employed such labors, should
have been CUNTS, and almost endued with the thcws
and snews vi HcrcueS. The rock not being in regular
:tre!a congi0m=rated, that good face could not
be made to the quarry and hence, than five times
the labor ordinarily employed Tor blasting was required
As evidence Of the difficulties which were encoun
tered in executing the roc! work. we understand thai
more than 5000 lbs Of powder were expended on the
lower level during the past month. The oppressive hea
Of the Summer such an obstacle ,oo that the work
men could scarcely do than half days work; ia
addition 10 which, the great sickness; the melancholy
mortality, and TIE occasional deserIon Of the labor
ers, contributed to relard the operations. The long
and continued rains during the Fall have also ope
rated serious impeachment 10 the advancement Of the
Canal. On The whole. we think almost every thing
has been dogc which could he accomplished and anios
every eyeriion hes been made, TO complete the canal
and to crafty the wishes Of the community. No one
could have adequately locsecn how many difficulties
were to be overcome-how many anxelies we're 10 b.
encountered.
