DEFAUITERS.

"TRIAL OF Mr.. CANNoN.--Mr. Can
non, who was reported by Secretary
Woodbury. as being defaulter to the
amount of nearly 100000, has lately
had his trial, and being acquitted by
the jury, after a thorough investigation
of all indebtedness to the Governineht."
Metropolis.
We have noticed n similar article in
several papers, and which seems inten-
ded to be reproachful in its character.
But the naked truth is, that in the
list of nominal defaulters reported to
Congress in 1888, as we'll as in every
year for the last thirty or forty years,
many are known and stated to be only
nominal deiaulters. But the Oppose
ton have lately chosen for party effect,
to consider the whole Of them as total
losses, and especially if they happened
under the present or past Administra-
tions -
Mr.. WooDBuRY. like other Seer eta
ries before him, is bound to report all
who stand on the books as debtors, and
the amounts against them, whatever
may be their excuses for not settling,
or their equitable defences.
In the case of Mr.. CANNON, however,
if any body will take the trouble to
turn to the report Of Mr.. WopDBuRY,
made in January, 1898, document Ill.
page %, il will be seen that the bal
ance stated to stand against him, is on
ly 81 1916, instead of 100000.
In note to that case in the report,
page 81, it is also stated that this small
balance had never been reported for
suit, and cases not sued have in other
reports been explained to Congress
aid the public to be generally such as
were presumed not to be real defaults,
but only nominal dues. But in order
to test this, and some similar cases,
suits, we suppose, have been since IN
and the result i'll this instance
has, it seems, been as was anticipated,
and as was before represented by the
Secretary to Congress and the country
to be probable, in that class of cases.

| How bright and beautiful is love III
its hour of purity and lnnocence-hoW
mysterious does it etherealize every
feeling, and concentrate every wild
and bewildering impulse of the heart.
Love, holy and mysterious love-it is
the garland spring of life; the dream Of
the heart-the imprisoned poetry Of
nature-its song is heard in rude and
unvisited solitudes of the far forest. and
the thronged hauntS of busy life-it
embellishes with its flame the unpre-
tending cot of the peasant and the gor-
geous palace Of the monarch-fashes
its holy CLEAN of light upon the mute
page of the solitary student, and upon
the measured track Or the lonely wan
derer-hovers about the imperiled bark
ofthe storm beaten mariner-enfeeblcs
the darkly bending wing of the NUT
tering tenpest-and imparts addition
al splendor to the beacon that "burns
on the far distant shore
Love! it is the mystic and unseen
spell that harmoniEes and "soothes I'M
biddcn" the wild and rugged tenden-
cics of human nature-that fingers
about the sanctity of the human hearth
The worshipped deity of the pene-
ITALIA, and unitcs in frmer union the
affections Of social and religious socie-
ty, gathers verdant freshness among the
guarded cradle of hel pless infancy, and
steals in moonlight darkness upon the
yielding heart of despairing age-it
bushes into reposing calmness the chat
ed and bruised, and unresisting spirit
Of sorrow, and bears it from the exist
ing and anticipated evils of life, to its
own bright and shcltering bower ofre-
into a generous de-
votion the exacting desires Of vulgar
and sordid avarice and melts in
t5 fearful compassion the ice of in
sensibility.
The image which holy and undecay-
ing love has once portraitured on the
deep shrine Of the heart, will not van
ish like lineaments which childhood's
fingers in idle moments may have ira
ced upon the sand-that image will re-
main there unbroken and unmarked
will burn on undefaced in its beauty
and undiminished in its Idstre amid
the quick rush of the winds and theI
warning of the tempest cloud and when
the waving ''star of our fate seems de-
clining," the bowed and bewildered
spirit, like the trembling dove of the
patriarchs, will meet its home and its
refuge in that hallowed fame where
love prcsides as high priestess of its
sanctuary and consecrates to unbend-
ing truth the offered vows Of her yot-
aries.

mean character as to make him wish
to conceal his name, who does not keep
low company nor break the Sabbath,
nor use profane language, but whose
face is seen regularly at church, where
he ought to be, he will certainly make
good husband.
When you see a young man who is
below you in wealth, offer to marry you,
don't deem il a disgrace, but look in
to his character; and if you find il cor
responds to these directions, take him,
and you will get good husband.
Never make money an object of
marriage, for if you do, depend upon
it, as balance to good, you will get
BAD husband.
When you see n young man who is
attentive and kind to his sisters ar aged
mother, who is not ashamed to be seen
in the streets with the woman who
gave him birth and nursed him, supper
ting her weak and lettering frame
upon his arm, who will attend to all
her little wants with flial 1--we, affec-

who can get him no matter what his

do not marry him, for ifyod do, you
will come to poverty and rags.

Great Britain, by driving mar auders
from the disputed territory. Lord

that Great Britain is ",tndeniabiy, clear

GOV. McNUTT AND THE UNION
RANK


The federal presses of the State are
intent upon arraying Gov. McNutt and
the Union Bank against each other,
but the artifce is TOO shallowtb escape
penetration by the MOST" superficial
observer. The federal presses hope
to widen d supposed breach between
the Governor and the Bank for, the
purpose of inducing the Bank to bring
its money power in aid Of their de-
signs to defeat the election of the dem
ocratic candidate. In this believe
from all we have yet been able to see,
they will be most signally disappointed.
While they are affecting friendship for
the Bank and manifesting an anxiety
that it should relieve the people, they
are pursuing such course as to in
duce belief that the Bank is about to
enter the political field as partizan.
Now, they ought to know, as every SEN
sible man must know, that scarcely
any thing can tend to impair the use
Illness Of the Bank and destroy public
confidence in it, more than that the
Presidehtand Directory should be sup
posed capable IF entering the political
arena with the Bank in their train for
the purpose Of putting up or putting
down any man. None knowthis bet
ter than the President and Directory
themselves. The Institution is endea-:
voring to extend relief to the people.
and we doubt not it is anxious to effect
the object, though it may Betery doubt
full whether it will be able fully to ac-
complish it. Under these 'cirfum-
stances every true friend Of the bank
must disire to BEE it operating in its ap+
propriate sphere, and no true friend
will seek TO propagate the belief that
it has departed from that sphere, but
will rather seek to aid it in its efforts to
do good. Upon the Bank are centred
the best hopes ofthe State. and it ought
to be the desire Of every good citizen
to see its credit maintained and its USE
fitness promoted. !, aaa..,
Gov. McNutt. has thought proper to
differ with it upon some points Of poll
cy, more especially that of issuing post
notes, and he had an undisputed right
so to differ. But does it follow that
the Governor and the President or Di-
rectory are therefore to become per-
sonal enemies? Or that Gov. Runnels
and the Directory will so far prostitute
the high trust conferred upon them, as
to enter the lists against Gov. McNutt
must therefore become the enemy Of
the Bank? 1t is ridiculous--nay worse.
1t is tacitly ascribing such motives and
principles to each party as would well
justify the people in feeling the blush
of shame for bothl ~
! We believe Gov. McNutt TO be
friendly to the Back and anxious for
its prosperity, and we cannot believe
that Gov. Runnels or the Directory
have any design of bringing the power
and influence Of the Bank to aid in de-
feating him, and until we have much
stronger reason to change our opinion
than is now! presented to us, we shall
condemn all attempts to induce a be-
lief that the Gov. and the Bank are in
the political arena warning against
each other.--Pontotoc Tntellgencer.

ABDUcTIoN.--lt seems that banks
sometimes have faithless officers as well
as the Treasury. We understand that
Mr.. ORME, teller in the Bank Of the
Metropolis, took fifty thousand dollars
from the bank. The suspicious Of the
Cashier being awakened by appear
ances, he counted the money, and dis
covering the deficit, charged the Tel
Ter, who confessed every thing, and
pointed to the person who had it in
possession, Mr.. GooDRICH, clerk in
one of the Departments. Mr.. G. was
arrested, and the money recaptured.
Upon the benign principles on
which the Federalists legislate, THAT
party, it will be remembered, at the
last session rejected Mr.. WRrGHr's bill
making the appropriation ofpublic mo-
ney by officers a felony,) it is doubtful
whether the taker or keeper of this
fifty thousand dollars can be punished.
