1--WE presume it will no longer be denied that
the Government will lose $4,000, by the failure
of the Commonwealth Bank, since the report of
the Secretary of the Treasury states that this amount
in the custody of the Bank when it exploded.
The report from the Treasury called forth by
olution from Mr. Webster in the Senate, admits the
amount to be $4,000, few dollars less, which
Is the sum heretofore affirmed TO have been there
deposited, by the Treasury, Custom House, Pen
sion agency and Post Office; all of which, nearly
all, will be loss to the United States.
p. S. We have received the Report of the Com
mitee appointed by tire Massachusetts, Legislature
to examine into the concerns of the Commonwealth
Bank, which fully susains the charges of the mon
strous corrupons heretofore preferred against this
Government Pet. 1t shows that up to about the
time the funds ofthe Government deposi ted in
its vaults the affairs of the bank bad been fairly
conducted; but sooner had the bank received its
quota of the spells than the plumber system com
menced Accommodations were extended to Gov
ernment Office Holders, and to them almost excu
slvely, upon the most himsy security. Indeed il
only seemed necessary for the bank. to know tina
the applicant was an administration partizan to in
sure him a liberal share of the spols. The direc
tors stand indebted to the bank to the amount o
5000 ,95S Gland there is due from the Warren AS

this Report is 1887 625, 80, About SAC, 900 of which
is secured by an assignment of notes Of tho Warner
Association, &c. The Committee think the bill
of the bank may possibly be worth something.

o, THE RoGuEs. Ajustice is done TO Mr. Van
Buren's friends in Massachusetts it will be neces-
sary to extend the right of suffrage to State Prison
convicts in order for him to keep up appearances
there of party. Many of his leading friends in
the Bay State are prominent candidates for the PEN
ltentiary; and we are glad to see good begin
ming to 'gather them in" is manifested by tho
following from the Boston Atlas of the 18th
"The Grand Jury came into the Municipal Court
yesterday afternoon, and presented indictment
charging Josiah Durham, Thos. G. Durham, Ebe-,
nezer Stevens, Ebenezer Hayward and Samuel s..
Ridgway, Directors of the Franklin Bank, with Of

$4,000, with sufficient sureties for their appearance

New HAMPSHIRE. In about four weeks the an
nua election occurs in this State For months past
the contest has been growing warmer and warmer,
and party spirit is excited to high degree
The office holders, State and National, contest the
ground inch by inch, and they will die hard, if die
they must The Wings, tax ridden, oppressed and
ground to the earth by prohigate demagogues, and
the experiments of political quacks, are determined
to overthrow the power that has ruled and nearly
ruined Them Both parties apparently are thorough
y organized The Vantes fear and tremble, while
their opponents ''breathe freer," and full OF
courage and hope, and anticipate partial, if not
a complete victory. TO our Constitutional friends
in the Granite State we say persevere unto victory
and hundred guns shall echo the glad news oil
your triumph among the hills of Caledonia County

IYNothing exceeds the miserable folly and base
ness of the Administration presses, in attempting to
gull the people with the story that Daniel Webster
is delinquent debtor of the Commonwealth Bank.
T he inslnua.lon was first made in the Globe. Mr.
Webster in his place in the Senate promptly expos
ed the faacy of the charge. The only crcum
stance which by any possibility could apply is this
Mr. Webster made draft gentleman in Port
land for 81 0 900 which accepted at Portland,
and deposited by the holder in the Commonwealth
Bank for collection. The draft not being paid at
maturity by the acceptor, it was protested for
payment but was paid by Mr. Webster imme-
diatey receiving notice of the protest And
yet with full knowledge Of these facts, the YER
mont Patriot and other V. b. papers reterating
the falschood duplicating Mr. Webster in the trans
actions of the bank. The object is apparent-to
blind the people the fact that the Officers Of Gov
eminent in the management Of the Commonwealth
Bank have squandered the public money and de
Grauded the holders of its bills to the tune of
| hundred thousand dollars.

I The administration paper ut Montpelier, two
weeks SINCE in a fit of passion, denounced this pa
Nor IN no un,neasured terms, for our assertion that
the Commonwealth Bank at Boston had been undor
tho exclusive control of Government Office holders
and the particular friends of the Administration
and with silly ofTrontery charged us with downright
talsehood in relation 10 our remarks touching the
agency of Mr. Henshaw and Mr. Simpson, in tho
concerns of the Bank. Mr. Henshav has for sew
era wears held the very lucrative office of Collector
of the Customs, and Mr. Simpson that of Pension
| Agent.
| In regard 10 the Commonwealth Bank, we have
before us the report OF a Committee of tho Massa
chusetts Legislature to investigate its concerns from
which we have time only to make very few ex
tracts. We shall another week place before our.
readers fuller statement Of facts deveoped IN this
report which not only corroborate all we have said
of tho corruption of the Government officers con-.
nected with this Bank but disclose a system of op-
erations in which tho different pet Banks and Banks
controlled by the party mutually concerned in
giving facilities to the schemes of speculation car
red on by the office holders.
The Committee say that the concerns Of this
Bank, for considerable period, have been left very
much to the management of JOhn X. Simpson, its
late President, Charles Hood, its Cashier, and Hall
]. How, of its Directors"
In regard to John X. Simpson the Committee
say, xii appears he direct debtor TO the Bank
in October, 1885, about 10000 dollars, This debt
he has been suffered constantly to increase and at
his DEATH he stood indebted memorandum

"Tho New England Glass Company, of which
Mr. Simpson was member, and Mr. Parmenter the
Agent, has been permitted to create debt with the
Bank of about $l23, 900 without security, "Mr.
William Parmenter, former Director, is also in
debted to the Bank 81 ,22I So memorandum

recently failed. The Middlesex Bank is also in

THE SUI TREASURY Bull meets the just exc
cratons of nearly the whole people. Not voice
is raised to breathe it into being aside from the Oi-
flee Holders and the administration depaDdants.-
Theunnatural and bastard banting is likely to sleep
on the lap of its paternity. Senator Wright has
employed all the arts of midwifery in attempting to
resuctate its Indifferent existence and vvy its mon
strous deiormtes in the Senate. But from present
indications his efforts destined to be fruess.
With all the force previously urrayed against the
bill in the Senate, its passage by that body was con-
sidered very doubtful by many; but since tho nc
ton of the Pennsylvania Legislature in reference TO
this scheme, if the voice Of the Key Stone State
shall be duly regarded, its doom may be considered
more certain. The most active and violent oppo-
nents of this ''bill of nominations" among the
former friends of the President, styled Conser-
natives. No paper in the Union assas it with so
much .rulence as the Richmond Enquirer, the
leading administration paper in the Old Dominion.
Advices from Washington decidedly favor the opn-
