THE BANEFuL RITcHIE INFLUENCE.

We consider that no man in the country
has done so much in leading to the delays that
have taken place in final settlement oil the
matters in dispute between this country and
Great Britain as THOMAS RlrcHIE, ESQ
The rejection by the Senate of the nomination
of Mr.. VAN buren, took place in the spring
Of 1882. 1t is well known that Mr.. STEVEN
SON Immediately sought the appointment Of
Minister to England. In this he was backed
BY all the influence which Mr.. RrrcHIE could
exercise with General jackson; which was
great. Mr.. STEVENSON was Speaker Of the
House and could not be spared from that post
at that time; nor did the occasion occur when

The Richmond Enquirer and Globe are engaged
in ers TO persuade Col Johnson to retire from the
next canvass for the Vice Presidency; and The En-
quirer intimates that the Colonel has sgni6ed his
willingness to do SO, We warn those gentlemen that
they need not lay that "naltering JUNCTION to their
souls" We hare reason TO knop that Col. j. IS not
aoiLiag TO retire lie is wiling that Mr.. Van BnreH
should take The responsibility Of haping him dropped
from The ticket contrary to the usages OF the Repub-
lican party for the a forty years; dwe challenge
Mr. Richie to show that he has said or authorized
any one to go further. Col j., if we are not misin-
formed, understands his position as we'll as the party
he has 10 deal with He knows the election Of prin-
for the next Congress does not depend on his vote
or that of some of his warm-hearted friends who
were in Congress, as the case when he was first
nominated.
We may recur again to this subject for the special
edifcation of the Enquirer and Globe.

SPECIAL MINISTER.

There is much speculation as 10 who will
be selected as special Minister to England.
In our opinion, no appointment will be made
until after answers have been received to
dispatches that have been forwarded to Eng
land since the Presidents message in relation
to the Maine difficulties, and the agreement
entered into between our Secretary of State
and the British Minister Should Minister
be then sent, we doubt if any Of those who
have been spoken Of, who were in Congress
the mission Indeed the second clause Of the
seventh section of the Constitution forbids it
in most of the cases.
The last Richmond Enquirer, whose editor
pretends to be constantly informed tn adj
rance Of all Cabinet movements here, has the
following:
asks, if il be "Mr Howard2 This is not very far
from the C.'s" We certainly did not alude to him,
highly as he stands in our opinion.
We suspect there is another r.istake in this bust.

LEVI WOODBURY. God save the mark

he has been at the head of the Treasury De-

would be certain to procrastinate the settle

be employed fifty years as ambassador and
negotiator, and at the end we should find our
selves where he began. Away with such

ne could DO, until the sumner Of 1884. Then
MIR. 8. was nominated to the Senate for the
situation be bad so long sought, and was re-
jected BY that body. The place was still kept
for him until 1896, when he was renominated
and confirmed; Mr.. s.. in the interim, still
laboring in the cause Of the party and Mr..
VAN BuRES. He presided at the Baltimore
convention that nominated him, and was the
reputed author Of the address put forth by the
committee Of that body. II was not until the
summer Of 1886, that Mr.. STEVENSON left this
country to undertake the duties of his mission.
mus Tor more than four years, was the coun-
.ry whoiiy unrepresented at the Court Of st.
James, except by mere charge; and that
too, altogether owing to the influence of Mr..
HITcHIE being cxerted in favor Of Mr.. STE
vENsoN.
Well, Mr.. STEVENSON has now been near
the cour, Of ST. James more than two years
and half and what has he done Abso-
lutely nothing towards settling amicably our
border difficulties We hear Of him now and
then at public festivals. At one time at a
cattle show in Scotland, toasted and being
toasted, by English Lords and Noblemen. At
another time dining with the Lord Mayor Of
London, and the nobility and gentry OF the
English metropolis Then, again, we hear
that he is spending few days with the
QUEEN, at Windsor; and then, with the
Earl Of Leicester, the great Norfolk county
agriculturist and but few days since we
saw going the rounds Of the papers, copied
from the Enquirer, an extract Of a letter from
him, proposing that Virginia should employ
him to negotiate a loan Of eight or ten millions
for her in London!
Had there been an able and efficient
minister sent out as soon as Mr.. Van Buren,
was rejected, we do not doubt the whole diff
ficulty would have been amicably adjusted
years since.
We want the country to see and know to
whom il is indebted mainly, for the difficult
ties it is now involved in, and the dangers
that now portend over it.

MONTREAL, March 8th.-We give to-day, what

of 81, 100000 on Tuesday last, Notwithstanding the
repeated declarations of the new administration that
it would be taken at per cent the rate at which il
could have been taken from the Bank of the United
States The disappointment was great They had
supposed that there would be great Struggle TO get
that Jvsrnor Porter could borrow money as low as
Governor Ritner. But they have found that an ad-

upon "dog keepers" for support, has not the conf

away by such iaeeadiaryism. win attribute the
failure 10 obtain the means necessary for the
prosecution Of their public works 10 the true
causes, and remove them.
The spiri. Of Loco-focoism, which is now
encouraged by the General Government itself,
operates as tax on every individual Of the
community. Now, while money is not
scarce, the Government securities Treasury
notes. bearing six per cent. interest, are
barely at par! Suppose il shall become ne

millions of dollars stock, bearing FIVE per

certain contingency, does he or his supporters

ment for proposals will result as the Cover

dollar will be offered, unless at a great dis
count. Then we shall see war upon the
banks, by these advocates Of divorce ofbank
and State, because they do not come forward
and loan their money TO the Government.
Now is the time to put down this spirit Of
agrarianism that is encouraged by the Ad-
minisiration itself, against the moneyed in
terests, commerce and credit OF the country.
Let those who are most interested, take their
stand and maintain it firmly, and thereby open
the eyes Of the people TO the imposiiions
which have been practised upon them, and
the decisions which they are acting under.
Let every man who still advocates these per-
nicious doctrines, feel the effects Of them, so
far as he depends on borrowed capital. The
work is begun, let it go on. If Loco.fecoism
is not put down, and that speedily, it will put
down every other class and every interest in
the country. The overthrow Of the moneyed
institutions will be followed by an equal dis
iribntion of property, which is part of the
agrarian creed.

The Philadelphia Enquirer asks what is Mr.. Van
Buren, doing in regard to The Maine question. We
can tell The Enquirer what he is doing in regard to
the main question now with him. He is pondering
over the prescription list prepared by DUNCAN, Ely
MooRE, and some other assassins in this city. The
great question of war peace for the country is
made subordinate to his selfish and vindicive pur-
poses "....a.. ...a' -s s.. 4s...

THE LOCO-EOco GOVERNOR OF PENN
SYLVANIA.

THE LOCO-FOCO GOVERNOR OF PENN
sYLvANIA.
This functionary, who, before he was elect
ed, was declared to be Conservative, has
shown the cloven foot. He has declared war
against the banks Of his own State. This
advocate for the "divorce" Of bank and State,
has fallen into violent rage against the banks
OF Philadelphia, because they did not consider
it for their interest to take loan of million
and quarter of dollars, which the Governor
was authorized to borrow on the credit of the
State. Not solitary bid was made for it, either
by the banks or by individuals And what
does this show! Why, that neither banks nor
moneyed individuals have any confidence in
the Loco-foco administration of the State.
The Governor, in his communication to the
Legislature says, money is not scarce, and
the credit of the State is unimpaired" True,
but capitalists are not willing to entrust their
money in the hands Of disorganizers and re-
volutionists. But two months since the CAPT.
tol of Pennsylvania presented scenes Of re-
volution, and since then, those who were the
foremost in promoting it have been rewarded
with Offices
Governor Porter, in his rage, appeals to the
passions Of the people, and asks
aHow long the representatives of free people
will submit to state of things manfestly brought
| about by combination among the institutions Of
their own creation it is for the Legislature 10 de-
termine."
