ACCOUNT CURRENT.-The N. York
Express of Monday thus "posts me
book of elections" for the past year.
II will be seen that the account is
drawn up with care and fidelity, and
that the balance is greatly IN favor OF
the Wing cause. Let the effect be, to
incite to farther and unremitting efforts
in the cause OF good government, and
against the selfish rule of the spoilers.
The Express says AS a year has
now rolled round since MIR. Van Buren,
nut forth his Sub Treasury Message to
Congress assembled for great and
weighty matters"--in which nearly
every State in the Union has been vo-
ting, now is the time to look at the &C
count current, aud draw the balance.

WASHINGTON, April z.
The Senate did not set to-day. They
passed the Duelling Bill to third reading
last evening, by decisive majority. The
bill, as finally modified, provides that any
person engaged in a duel, as principal, or
second or friend, shall be imprisoned in the
ienitentlary not more than ten, nor less
than five years, at the discretion of the
Court. The amendment offered by Mr..
Clayton, to add to the penalty disqualified
ton to hold office under the Government,
was rejected.
In the House, to-day, after some umm-
portant morning business, Mr.. uamer bro't
to the view of the House, the following re-
solution, which was ordered 10 be printed:
Considering that the business, commerce,
circulation aud exchanges of the conptry.
are in n deranSed and embarrassed conii-
ton, and considering also that part of the
Banks of the United States have EXPRESS
cd desire TO resume payment at an early
day,
ReSotred. by the Senate and House OF
Representatives Of the United States of
America in Congress assembled, That if
The Banks, or a portion of them do thus
resume, it will be the duty Of the General
Government, within the limits of its con-
situtional authority, to aid such Banks las
tie present Administration design to do, in
re2aining public confidence, and to sustain
them III their laudable efforts to fulfil their
obligations to relieve the wants of the coun-
try, aud to restore to tho public sound
circulating medium.
Mr.. IIamer gave notice that he wonl,l call
for the consideration Of the Resolution on
Monday next.
AS MIR. Hamcr is a leading member of
the Administration party, and member OF
the committee on Ways and Means, this
movement may be considered as having tho
sanction of the Administration. There is
no doubt that it will Lc iavorahy received

The Resolution 10 divorce the Govern.
mcnt from the public press, by prohibiting

THURSDAY, APRIL 10. 1885.

The news which we give this week from
Florida is of the most painful interest. The
murder which we have recorded, is associated
III our minds with all that is dark, and cruel and
terrible in savage warfare. Mrs. Puriloy was
born in this District, and removed but u few
years ago, from this Village with her highly cs-
teemcd father, to Florida. We knew her well !:
and VIC speak but the language of her numerous
acquaintance when we say, that she displayed in
her life laInb-like mcekncss, purity and cx-
ceIlcnce of character, which are seldom seem
Who would have thought, said respected Lady
to lis on hearing the melancholy occurrence
that the mild and innocent, the amiable and
youthful Louisa was doomed to fall bcncath the
deadly rifle and butcher knife of the savage!
The people Of this section have not been in
different to suffering Florida, but this fresh in
stance Of Indian barbarity has awakened anew
their warmest sympathies. How long are these
scenes to continue! When will cease TO flow
the blood of innocent women and children
When we pcnned the above, we had heard
from another source than the newspaper ac
count, that Mrs, Purifoy ,rns dead. By later in
tclligence we learn now that strong homes are
entertained Of her recovery.
