they are now uDrvalled by any public enclosures Of

whole arrangement is admirable. The flower beds
are very rich, in variety, color and perfume. We

WHO CONDUCTS THE OFFICIAL oRGANi
This is question asked daily, the reputed

from the White Sulphur Springs, at that place,
where he has been for some time past, in
dulging in deer hunting and other amusements.
II has been said, and we do not doubt on
good grounds, that the veritabie genius who

country, also presides over and conducts the

The Sweet Springs are seventeen miles distant
from the White Sulphur and 10 the county Of Mon
roe which joins Greenbrier on the south. The road
is intrinscally good, and leads You among cooling
riyules and pleasant shades over the Allegheny, by
an ascent of which you will be almost unconscious,
until you perceive proof in the course Of the wa
ters. You will have passed ridge, almost insensi-
bly, that divides the vast waters Of the great western
valley from those which find their way the Allan
tic on the east You will have observed the ioun-
tain heads of sundry babblng brooks, rising almost
side by SIDE sending off their tributes ID one direc-
tion to swell the solemn tide Of the MISSISSIPPI ana
in the other TO ioin the more lively torrent of the
James river. This Is an interesting point. Twin
fountains, pure and trsnspicuous as ihe AR, IKE

like humanity, how changed lfthere be a vestige

bosom Of the Atlantic, am sure, If the attrtion Of

robbed them Of the recoections Of their childhood,

and early hopes have been too obscured to ex-

Some weeks since, we published a dialogue
which purported to have taken place between
Dutee j. Pearce and Mr.. Van Buren, as to the
best mode of winning over Rhode Island to
the Democracy. Much Of the matter con-
tanned in that colloquy we knew TO be true,
since which we have learned from persons
priyy to the whole affair, that Mr.. Pearce
came on with the Marshal Of the State for the
express purpose Of urging on the President
the policy of removing snndry oficeholdcrs
and supplying their places with the plant tools
Of the party. Mr.. Pearce gave it as his de-
cided opinion that such a course would az
ford the only chance oftriumph for the Demo-
cracy! II" This ruse on the part Of Mr..
Pearce to effect a favorite measure (wherein
himself and friends were alone to be benefit
ted,) did not succeed. The President, with
his characteristic cunning, knew that TO con-
summate that plan would be the best mode to
defeat the object, and intmated to Mr.. Pearce
to 'ctn The spols before they could belong to him.
lie knew that " a promise TO pay" would be
thousand fold more efFicacious in stimulating
his Democratic fellow citizens to extra exer-
tons than bestowing Offices in advance,---as
thereby each individual would act as though
he were to be the favored one in the event OF
success. The policy pursued by Mr.. Van
Buren,. is to intimate that certain changes
are to take place, but to keep IN umbra
the names of those who are destined to sue
coed to the Offices. Thus a warm shake Of
the hand of one, and familiar nod Of the head
to another, and an expressive rolling Of the
eye 70 third, make every man fancy himself
the favored candidate, and each individual
goes to work with all the zeal that self interest
dictates. To the honor Of Rhode Island she
defeated all these base schemes, and stands
erect in her own purity, disdaining to lend
herself to perpetuate power in the hands of
those who have shown themselves so every
way unworthy by treacherous departure from
all those Conservative principles that were to
guide their way in the onset.

FRAUDS ON THE REVENUE.

A correspondent requests us to ask the
Secretary of the Treasury, whether he was
not informed in 1886 Of frauds then commit
ting on the revenue in New York! Whe-
Their all the participators were not commune
Gated to him the name of the house who
introduced the goods illegally the particu-
lars of the purchase, from whom, the cost,
where packed, the marks and numbers ofthe
packages, the prices at which they were in
voiced and entered, and the name of the
ship, Sc, &C., And if yea, what means he
took to have the subject investigated and the
guilty exposed
We presume the Secretary will not hest
tate answering the inquiry, particularly, il as
is said, he is now the conductor Of the Globe.

We hope we shall hear less from Mr..
Richie on the subject Of Abolition, since he
has seen that Mr.. Dorr, Of Rhode Island, the
Loco-foco candidate, ran exclusively on Abo-
lition grounds. Il only proves what we have
said that the corrupt part Of this administration
was ready to make common cause with the
Abolitionists whenever it might suit their
views.

THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY AND
HIS MANAGEMENT OF THE PUBLIC

FINANCES
Much has been said recently as to the
negotiation of Treasury notes by the Trea-
sury Department with snndry banks.
We have recently heard of transaction Of
the Secretarys which to our mind is the
ne plus ultra Of Finance.
The Secretary applies to bank in Balii-
more to take some Of the Treasury notes, the
bank STIMULATING 10 hold them until certain
period. This is the bargain which is made
public, but is in reality only part oft.
Shortly after this, the agent Of the same
bank appears in some Of the Western States
(Ohio and lndiana) with the drafts Of the
Treasury Department in Bank in those States
for similar amount in the aggregate, TO that
of the Treasury notes negotiated. The
banks there offer to pay the drafts in specie,
or in checks on New York at Q per cent
premium. The latter is accepted by the
agent Now we ask on what terms, could
the bank have obtained these drafts from the
Secretary, to be able to submit to sacrifice
Of 2 per cent. +? We answer. The whole
transaction was pitiful expedient Of the Sc
cretary to anticipate for immediate use, his
funds in the Western States. He in fact bor-
rows the money Of the bank for six months,
and hypothecates Treasury notes, as collate-
raj security. He then gives the bank drafts
on the Western banks, the proceeds Of which
are 10 be appropriated by the bank in re-im-
bursting the loan.
Thus the bank receives interest on the
Treasury notes, is enabled to submit to the
loss of premium for the checks on New York
Of two per cent, and have the use of the mo-
ney for some months, besides allowing for
interest.
This is one Of the evidences Of the opera
ton of the present beautiful system! Such
the means which the Secretary is obliged to
resort to in making transfers from the west to
the east Of the public funds. We have heard
Of other instances in which the Secretary has
given favorite banks sir months to make trans
fers Of the public money from Ohio and adj
joining States to the Atlantic cities.
