PETITION For wHITEwAsH1Ne.

The editor of the Globe, on Tuesday, petitioned
Congress tor relief in the of his sureyshp for
the defaulting Postmaster in Kentucky, and accom-
panied his petition with prayer that select COM
mi,tee might be appointed 10 inquire into the manner
of his executing the printing Of Congress. If this
committee were to be appointed by the Speaker the
editors character would stand enviable chance Of
being most excellenty whitewashed The Duke Of
Chartres offered 10000 for characterize editor
of the Globe having paid in kind for such a service,
probably thinks he may make 10000 If he can get
select committee Of his own friends TO give him
one We suppose certain Virginian, who was
recently SO complimentary to US, touchingthe present
contract for printing, would be the chairman, and
thatthe committee would have power, coaterally, 10
investigate as--,o which, of course we could not
object If that gentleman should be appointed,
however, we are prepared to exhibit his high quail
fications for the arduous and patriotic duty.
If we were a member, we should move TO extend
the inquiry into the that editor has executed
the printing of the deparments-he duelling report
&c. and relative to the facts and circumstances
touching the former, we should advise the summon.

Review. .... ..".t..

ever, the committee we should think might be very

AN INFAMOUS DEFENCE.

In the following case Of suit by the Union Bank
Of New Orleans against one Of its debtors (Which
we take from Tie Commercial Balletin,) il will be
seen that the defence SET up was that the Bank by
suspending specie payment, on account of not being
ab 10 collect specie Of its creditors was to be made
the victim OF the most miserable sophistry, and the
basest injustice; while It's creditor claimed legal
right Of taking advantage Of his opn qcrong The
very foundation of all law is, that NO MAN SHALL
TAKE ADVANTAGE or HIS OWN WRONG. a ..#
1t was the case all over the country that the banks
not being able to collect specie Of their debtors were
forced TO suspend specie-payments--as Col Benton
Justly says "THEY HAD CAUSE FOR STOP
PING"
Suppose, for moment such defence-no, not
defence, such a eheat! such fraudl-had been
legaized by the judgment of the Court wherew would
now be five hundred million, Of property which
would have been classed in this category, and have
changed ownership upon the principle of this Loco
foco defence2 II is but too obvious, that REVOLT
rIoN WOULD HAVE BEEN PRODUCED, ifthese agrarians
who required hard money but refused TO pay il, had
been able with the assistance Of the Courts to have
carried out their infamous conspiracy of plumber
under the forms Of law But en- ough.-The deci-
sion: .." ..m.
UNION BANK.--In q suit brought by this bank
against Of its debtors the exception raised
that the Bank had forfeited its charter by suspension
Of specie-pa payments and therefore incompetent
bring suit The point has been argued, understand
before Judge Buchanan, and decision given in favor
Of the bank maintaining its charter corporate rights
Some difference in the provisions Of the respective char
tiers led different opinion the effect of
pension Of spece-payments upon the Atchafalaya and
Union Banks II is no doubt fresh in the recollection
Of readers that the charter Of the former institution
adjudged forfeited, in consequence Of having refus-
ed to redeem her issues in gold and silver The deci
sion in the case OF the Union Bank win be published in
to-morrow's paper, soon copy can be procur
ed Not having read the opinion, cannot give the
grosnas upon which 10 predcaed. But the clear
ness accuracy and stern mparality Of the decisions
which have emanatcd from that bench antecedently
should be satisfactory pledge to the community, that
sound and substantial reasons arc rendered.

THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT.
Says the last Richmond Enquirer,

"Mr Woodbury. has been confirmed as Chief Justice
Of New Hampshire. Who is to succeed him in the
Treasury is now the question. Two three gentle
men have been named in the papers but know not
on what authority. The Office is very important one
and the incumbent ought to be specially gifted par
tcuarly in the present state Of our tinancesif Con-
gress should adopt financial SYSTEM and SHOULD
be thrown back upon the act Of SO, and the resolution
Of 1876 amended by the concurrent resolution Of
Wednesday last
Does the Enquirer think, the future incum-
bent, should be more especially gifted" than
the present If so, we agree with him. The
present Secretary of the Treasury has not
made single annual report during his incum-
bency in which he has not erred from five to
thirty million dollars in his estimates Some
times above and sometimes below the ultimate
result Is it any wonder, therefore, that our
national finances are disordered, and the cur
rency Of the country deranged?

Ia the above extract Of less than ssren lines,
there are no less than four misrepresentation.
lst. The notes Of all State banks, except
those in the place where the payment was to
made, mere moi excluded The proof, 10 re-
flute this assertion, is to be found in the cor
respondence Of Mr.. Crawford with State banks
IN ls2l-in State papers, vol. Sd, on Finance.
I'd. The notes Of State banks, received by
the United States Bank, were NOT returned
once week, and the specie demanded. This
assertion is refuted by the official returns Of
the Bank, which. for many years past, have
been printed, and are on the Congressional
files, which we have examined.
Sd. The notes Of State banks were paid
out, not only by the United States Bank,
but by the Government for that Bank. The
proof Of this is to be found in the correspon-
dence between Mr.. Cheves and Mr.. Crawford
in 1919.
4th. The notes Of State banks, received by
the United States Bank in payment Of the
public revenue, were not returned upon them
Weskly for payment. Ample proof Of this is
TO be found in the document already re-
ferred to.
It must be bad cause that requires such
reckless misrepresentation to sustain it,
Such is the spirit Of Loco-focoism!

represent them. This constitutes the very
essence Of our representative character, and
any departure from il, is either a censurable
neglect or a criminal usurpation.
No man has right, because he is invested
with power to array his individual opinions
against the voice Of the nation; nor has he
the right to prescribe course Of public policy
that is condemned by his constituents such
course would efiectually destroy the whole
theory OF the representative character OF our
Government, and convert il into practical
monarchy. Obedience to public opinion is
stamped upon every feature Of our Govern
ment, and the right to disregard il absolutely,
or by indirection, is nowhere to be found.
The power to reject IT is unqualified usurpa-
ton.
We saw the issue made between the admit
nistrGtion and the people; between the repre-
sentative and the constituent. We watched
with anxiety and fear the progress of this
struggle.
The will OF one party was unit, and its
power was at every point where Executive
influence and patronage could reach. The
other party was widely difi'used, without con-
cert. Patient under suffering, and mild in
remonstrance. We were not without our fears
that credulous and confding people would
faulter in their opposition, and be betrayed
whilst they paused.
Our fears were groundless. When they
saw that their forbearance was mistaken for
irresolution that their patience was construed
into submission, and that endurance was an
immunity for submission, they rose with
common impulse that was awakened by inju-
ny, and provoked by insult. Towns, counties,
districts, and States, have all risen up in the
spirit Of a just Indignation, and never has
more merited rebuke fallen upon the heads of
unfaithful stewards, than that which has spoken
from the ballot boxes of every State, within
the last eight months. And though it has
come with devastating force upon the house
hold with which we have been classed, and
which once bore the proud honors Of the Re-
publican party, yet, we glory more in the tri-
umph Of our country, than the success Of any
mere party. We hope this lesson win not
soon be forgotten, and that the people will
never again have cause to rise under the sting
of suffering, oppression and wrong, to rebuke
for gross delinquency those on whom they had
placed the seal Of their confidence.

CORRESPONDENCE.
New YoRk, June 4, 1888.

Dear Sir--Fridays mail brought the welcome in
e'ligence that The odious Specie Circular had been
repealed; and the principle on which il was based
repudiated, condemned and nullifed by three
fourths Of each branch of the National Legislature
This Joyful news few like lightning throughout the
city-each man grasped his neighbours hand a load
was removed from The breast Of every one, and the
yericst Loco Foco, who sings hosannahs to the
source of official power, could conceal his graft
icaon at the prospect Of improvement in every
branch of business Let the affiliated presses give
what version they please Of this legislative act the
people look upon it as measure which wrests from
the grasp OF despotic power its most fatal weapon
and conveys TO the inmate Of the White House the
well timed rebuke of their representatives, for his
obstinate refusal to obey their former decision
against this odious measure. Much as I rejoice at
the prospect before the country in its business rela
tons am still more grafed at the political bearing
Of this just censure OF an illegal act. Let no man
despair of the Republic hereafter As one Of the
most able champions Of freedom in the old world
said Of America, we can boast Of our Governments
being "e type Of eternity; J" for where the peoples
representatives remain true to the source of their
power, the stability of our institutions cannot be
doubled.
As the warm season approaches the beautiful and
the wealthy and the talented denizens of the sunny
South pass through our city on their way to the
fashionable places public resort Frequently stroll
along the graveed walks on the Battery, Of an al
ernoon, to view the smiling faces Of the juveniles.
and their lght-hearted attendants, who, free as the
chartered winds, gambol and skip over the green
sward setting at nought the laws of the corporation,
which forbids such antics and swapping their fingers
at old Hays and his posse coapmitatus. Here and
there fashionable couple or two scent the breeze
in this region but the residences Of the worthy in
habtants bring in the upper part of the city, to
great extent prevents them from inhaling the brac
ing air which gathers its freshness from the broad
bosom of the noble bay Little has yet occurred 10
mark the change public public feeling, except the
rise of stocks; but the note of preparation is sound
ing and soon the quays and warehouses Of the whole
sale dealers will exhibit their accustomed ANNA
tion and the PROSTATE merchant find new Indictment
TO exertion. r...
So it appears that the honorable and independent
Senator Wright of this State, lodged the Specie
Circular question. He might as well have stood
firm, as he is now denounced by both Loco Focos
and their opponents Even little Cam stood 10 the
rack and died in the breach Why should not Silas
have done likewise?
