porter, paper bitterly opposed TO Mr.. Rives:
will now briefly call 10 your recollection the fact,
that Mr.. Rives gave the Wings Jealous and eff.
Client aid in saving the public money from the plum
der of Executive mnions, by assisting in having IT
deposited with the States; that he shoulder to
shoulder with them in endeavoring to arrest that
burary and despotc edic called the "Specie Circu-
lar" and, more than ALL he has been with them,
gloriously battling against that monster of &reH
deuils," the Sub.Treasury. A bare recollection Of
these acts, must convince you that he has done
!" some service" 10 the State, which should redeem
him from the opprobious epithets which, think,
you have incautiously bestowed upon him.

BARGAIN BETWEEN THE ADMINISTRA-

When the Administration threw its somerset on
the Sub Treasury question, and abandoned It's hos

Administration should throw another somerset and

SENATOR RivEs.-We had the pleasure Of listening
on Thursday to one OF the most able, eloquent and in
dependent speeches, delivered on the floor Of the
Senate, and gives US equal pleasure to add that the
speech was made by Mr.. Rves Of Virginia
He took occasion upon presenting his resolutions,
calling upon the Secretary of the Treasury for norma-
tlon to the alliance that has been entered into
between the Government and the Bank Of the United
States, to express his views fully, only with regard
to that reported incestuous connexion but. also as
to the entire nsncerty Of the Administration, in its
course, on that subject He denounced, in energetic
strains, the recommendation of the Sub-Treasury-
cut the Secretary of the Treasury right and let-he
commented on the recent MISUNDERSTANDING
the increased and growing powers OF the Executive
and lamentcd the prevalence Of that vile party spirit
which acts only for party purposes, and refuses TO look
TO the good OF the country. As he went on the sur
prise and chagrin Of the leaders in the Senate were
manifest IN their countenances, and, when in manly
terms, he spoke Of the Presidents recommendation to
have Committee Of Congress appointed 10 report 10
the ETeeutpc. as degradation OF the National Legsa-
tue and another high handed stretch Executive power
they looked around upon each other CONSERVATION
As soon as Mr.. Rives had finished Mr. Wright, of
New York. and expressed his surprise the Tone
and temper, and spirit Of Mr. Rves remarks declared
that he would have expected nothing else from OPP
position Senator, but thought that the relations which
existed between the President and Mr. Rives ought to
have prevented such a course"
Mr.. Rives' reJolnder prompt and in the highest
degree eloquent He declared he knew nothing of the
relations between the President and himself which
should prevent the free expression of his sentiments
He there he said, as the friend of the Presi-
dent but the independent representative of the State
Of Virginia. He responsible TO his constituents
and not to the President Threats of Executive dis
pleasure had for him. He acted upon his re-
sponsbility to the unterrihed Commonwealth Of Old
Virginia, and not in obedience to party dictates. He
was no rdsSal, and he wished the Senator from New
York distinctly to understand that.
An involuntary murmur of applause broke from the
crowded audience !; and the Virginans in the lobbies
and gallery turned round and congratulated each other
We never witnessed a scence Of more interest All,
except the partizans of the executive, delighted
with Mr. Rives
The Senator from Virginia, from this day forth, takes
higher ground than in the esmat IN of the public,
and in the respect Of the State Of Virginia.

Mr. RiyEs in recent speech In the Senate, with
great force illustrated the hypocrisy of the admnistra.
ton in their professions of hostility to the banks lie
showed from review Of the list Of the different public
deposores as contained the annual report OF the
Secretary of the Treasury that while the SubIreasury
system is still urged upon and the Secretary OF the
Treasury has, in the existing condition OF things full
discretion direct the keeping OF the public moneys as
he thinks best, OF an aggregate OF public moneys III the
possession Of all the different repositories amounting to
$500 800, the Of sos is deposited in
banks 800 1927 in the four mnts, and S9SSSlS only
at present in the hands Of collectors and receivers
Could there be stronger testimony than this nvoluna-
~ tribute the part of the Secretary OF the Treasury
the superior safety and convenience of banks as pub
lie repositories OF the sum OF sos deposited
in banks 1895 IA only deposited in banks employed
under the provisions of the act of 1886 The balance
TO wit SO $50 45l, is deposited in banks employed at
the discretion of the Treasury Department. and. OF that
Sl,73s, 4ss in the Bank of the United States alone.
The practice of the Executive, then, as Mr.. Rlves
well remarks, even while protesting to have adopted
the Sub Treasury system, affords the most implicit
cognton Of the value and advantages of banks de-
positores and fiscal agents They deprecate con-
nexion with banks but when come to examine their
acts we find that it is icgai connexion, sanctioned and

but the express language both of the President and
Secretary of the Treasury recognizes the high, and IN
the present condition OF the commercial world, almost
indispensable utility of bank agency in the fiscal era

From the Charlottesville (Pa) ADVOCATE,
" II will be seen that Mr.. RlvEs has taken bold stand
against the whole financial policy Of the administration
and assumed position by the side OF Mr. Tallmadge, in
the front rank OF the opposition forces We pleased at
this course and only regret that it not taken sooner,
when his influence would have been greater-but even
at this late hour think, Mr. Rives deserves much
credit for the fearless manner IN which he has asssied
the odous and demoralizing schemes of the imbccle
and corrupt head Of the Treasury Department As
was have been expected the administration leaders
were very upon Mr. Rives. They were evil
IDENTITY prepared for this demonstration, and ready i'm
pute to the motives and to denounce his
as inconsistent and disingenuous Messrs Wright
and Niles replied to his speech In strains Of the blterest
nvectye and the Globe opened its batteries afresh
upon him, before his remarks were published The
Rubicon may now be considered passed, and as
there is no possibility Of retreat, every effort will be
made by the friends Of the administration properto coun-
teract any influence Mr. Rives detection might have,
and to deter others from following his example

Qress holds the certificate Of election,
though upon votes that will probably be
contested. Nor in case the opposition
unite, can Mr.. Van Buren carry Ohio;
for although Gen. Jackson carried Ohio
in 1892 by a majority of50OO, Mr.. Van
Buren, could mol carry it against Gen.
Harrison in 1886. For the same reason,
we believe he has no prospect Of carry
ing Indiana against Gen. Harrison.
These several States, whose votes
amount to 48, taken from Mr.. Van Bu-
Ten's before named aggregate of 1876,
leave him only 81 Electoral votes, while
their addition to the opposition vote ol
I50, makes an aggregate Of 207.
But we think it not improbable, in
case the opposition should unite, that
MIR. Van Buren may obtain the votes
Of Louisiana, South Carolina, and Mis-
sissippi, total "a, and lose those Of Illinois
and Michigan, 8-gainiog in this l6
votes, which added to 81, makes his to-
tai strength 1903, and leave to the oppo-
sition 1911. We entertain not a doubt
that the Clay mcn, the Harrison men,
the anti-administration Abolitionists and
the Conservative Republicans, are fully
equal to this result, and ,ciN produce Il,
