In reply 10 the attack Of President
Van buren,, concerning the Reissue by
the New Bank of tho United States Of
the notes Of the old--the National Ga
zette mikes the following satisfactory
explanation:
The notes Of the late bank were is.
sued by the new bank, In tho first in
stance, because the new bank had not
time to prepare its own notes for issu-
ing, and the practice was continued for
the general convenience Of the couD-
try, the country being more familiar
with them, and the bank being equally
bound to pay its own notes and those
Of the late bank.-Those who take
them look, Of course, only 10 the Bank
Of The United States, and we presume
are satisfied with that security ; and
there is something rather ludicrous in
the idea, hat while the Treasury ofthe
United States is itself bankrupt, and the
Bank Of the United States has paid oil
its own obligations to the Government
in specie, that Government incurs any
risk from the notes Of the late bank.
But the truth is, that this attack has
its origin entirely in the desire TO graft.
fly the vindictiyc spirit of the late Pre-
sident, and in the still worse motive Of
controlling the institutions Of Pennsyl-
vania. The message quotes the month
ly statement Of the first Of October
last, and as that statement has never
been published, it must have been OBJ
tanned from Harrisburg, so that the
President still endeavors to exercise
indirectly that supervision owe the
banks of Pennsylvania which he was
bound from duty, as well as delicacy,
TO avoid. We take it for granted that
this new assault will produce 0 the
slightest effect on the bank itself; and
as the practice Of using the notes Of
the late bank wal heretofore adopted
to the advantage Of the public, il will
be hereafter continued for the addition.
al reason Of rebuking this insolent al
tempt of MIR. Van Buren,, to interfere
in the administration Of the state insti-
tuition.

Mons AND THE INsTIGAToRs oil
MoBs.-The following extract from an
eloquent and judicious sermon Of Rev.
Hubbard Winslow, preached in Bow
doin street church, on Thanksgiving
day, is peculiarly opposite at this time.
We commend it to thes attention OF
those persons who have been alarmed
by the recent outrage at Alton for the
liberty for the press. We hope they
will manifest the sincerity Of their at.
tachment in the most ~effectual man.
ner:
But the advocates for these objec-
tionable principles and measures of re-
form, are crying aloud for the Liberty
9the Press. They ought to consider
that they are taking the most effectu.
al way 10 bring the press into bond.
age. We have no sovereign power,
nc magic means superior TO the voice
and arm Of the people to protect that
instrument. Mobs are an evil inciden-
tai to all but despotic governments;
and it is the part of every good citizen
10 guard against exciting them. The
unmolested opportunity to speak our
sentiments through the press, and our
liberty in other respects, have been
much encroached upon within a few
years and it has been effected by the
very means Of which | am complain
ing. In all Republican governments
where the power resides with the PEG.
pie, if you either do or publish any
thing, right or wrong, SO far in adj
vance of, or aside from their views, as
20 strongly excite their Indignation, a
mob is the natural consequence. Ii is
vain that you then call up civil magis-
trates to protect you. What can they
do with the people? They have no
standing army to interpose between
you and the mob which you have excl
ted. By pressing too severely upon
public sentiment, and thus occasioning
frequent excitement and deeds of vio-
lence, you at length PROSTATE all laws,
render every thing unsafe, and intro
duce the most t%yranical Of all slavery.
1t is in vain that you call upon civil
magistrates to protect you, when you
have taken from them all power to do
it, by turning the popular sentiment
against you. Those men on the n
side, who, against remonstrance, and
in defiance of common prudence, per-
sist in a course of action tending to
eucite mobs, and those on the other
hand who engage in mobs, are the two
great enemies to our free institutions.

T. there are many strange incidents
~ the present state of our Finances.
but perhaps the strangest Of them ali
y the following, the figures Of which
we derive from the annual Report of
the Secretary Of the Treasury. and The
residue from common report, which wo
believe TO be true.
The Secretary SAYS:
The receipts of the fourth quarter
are estimated at Ss.355, 085.
Among these receipts is named.
The frs, Lond due from the United
States Bank, excluding what belonged
TO the Navy Pension Fund, sI,364.-
$685." 1900
And the Secretary proceeds 10 say
tina, the available balance In the Trea-
sury on the LIST Of January, 1888. will
be 81 1885, 9s, 80.
From which it appears,
LIST. That il the Bank of the United
States had done what nearly all the
depos'te banks did, refuse 10 paw its
debts to the Government, the Treasu-
ry would not have been ia possession
Ola dollar on the LIST Of January, 1888.
but would have been actually minus
$2s9,467 6e.
I'd. That, as we have already had
occasion to hint, tho specie which is
now paid to members Of Congress,
comes out Of the S5sa, 900 OF gold
which tho Bank paid to the Govern.
mcnt in October last.
Nor is this all.
Sd. This gold, which is now given
to members of Congress, is the identi-
cal French indemnity money Of which
the American claimants under that in.
demnliy have been deprived. Its his
tory is odd enough. The Government
imported the French gold, which was
deposited in the Bank of America
The Bank OF America sent it to tho
mint, where il was recoincd into Amer
Ican gold, and returned to the Bank
OF America. 1t was afterwards paid
IN large masses in settlement of the
debts of the Bank of America, and so
came INTO the possession of the Bank
OF the United States. The Bank of
United States pays it in like masses &c
the Government Of the United States
ana Tint Government now pays mem,
bers Of Congress with il; so that the
first circulation Of the gold, the frs
opening Of the bags Of the French
ldcmnlty, is for the payment Of mem.
bers OF Congress. Yet, in the midst oil
oil this, we see the Executive striving,
as we have heretofore said, not only
gratultousiy but ungratcfully, 10 injure
the credit of the Bank OF the United
States, upon which it IS actually sub.
sIsting at this moment.

PRIVATE HANGrSe.-There is curl.
Gus police report in a late London pa.
per, setting forth the particulars Of a
private execution, commenced but not
completed, by reason Of the intcrfe.
renee of a police officer. He was pat.
rolling along the Hampstead road one
evening, when he saw two men upon
the top of a wall, and in a moment ar.
ter one OF them appeared to be hang.
ing from a lamp.iron, fastened in the
wall. The officer ran up, marvelling
greatly what all this should mean, and
was saluted by a whacking blow on
the nose, from the suspended individu.
al, whose rope had given way and let
him down to the ground before the
work OF strangulation was Effected
The other man decnmped, but was ar.
rested by another policeman, and both
hangman and subject were conveyed
to the police office. On their exami.
nation il appeared that they had been
tossing up coppers, first stalking money,
then their clothes, and finally life a.
gainst life, one Of them having strip.
ped his antagonist Of all other posses.
sions. The toss beng decided, the
winner proceeded very deliberately to
realize his luck by the application OF a
hempen cord, the loser quietly submit
ting. The half-hanged fellow told the
magistrate, quitesconfidently, that ifhe
had won the toss, he should certainly
have tucked the other up and he
thought himself bound in honor to sub
nit when the chance had gone against
him.--Com. AIDE.
