SPEECH THE Hon w. c. RrvEs, OF VIRGINIA.
We publish to-day MIR. Rives' Speech on the fnan-
cial policy of the administration delivered on the
occasion Of his introducing certain resolutions rela-
tive to the negotiation between the Secretary OF the
Treasury and the United States Bank We have
great pleasure in directing the attention Of read
ers to this eloquent and powerful production. The
schemes of the Machiavellian Cabinet, their low
trickery and deception, their fmsy arts and glaring
Inconsistencies are thrown into broad relief and dis
sected and denounced in mingled gush of argu-
ment, sarcasm, and apprehension. which must have
been any thing but concord of sweet sounds" to
official ears The avarice of power which is the
chief and mos alarming characteristic of the ruling
faction and which is the more dangerous that it is
attempted TO be masked under zeal for primitive
democracy, is pointed out and commented on in ner-
vous and forcibe terms. Mr.. Rives is no, TO be de-
ceived by NAMES, he looks at the language of ACTS,
and when he sees that every shifting movement has
for its object the accumulation of power the central
ization in the executive grasp of new means for
bringing the people under executive control, he
speaks out boldly and fealessly and anathama,zes,
in tone worthy of patriot, the disguised APP
proaches of despotism. We trust that the speech
will be attentively read and deeply pondered

NV YoRK De,

NEw YoRK Dec 81, 1885,
DEAR sR:-The only newspaper establishment in
this city, Except the smaller papers) which have
not yet noticed, is the New YoRK TINES. Asis pro-
badly known TO most of your readers, this establish
ment is the immediate successor TO the newspaper
under the same name, formerly published by Hol-
land, Sanford & Davies. On the first assault made
BY the Executive on our State institutions the former
paper came manfully TO the rescue, and for some
months bearded the Lion in his lair but the dreadful
state of the money market-the consequent depres-
sion of all business interests, and the withdrawal of
capital and patronage by the supporters Of the Sub
Treasury scheme caused its suspension.
After the lapse of few months, the Conservative
interests rallied in support Of the establishment
and aided by the patronage OF the mercantile class,
the Nclc York Times is in the field with harness on
and prepared all occasions TO do battle for the
right. That it is conducted with eminent ability, no
one who has perused it can deny. If was disposed
to play the critic, should venture the assertion that
some OF its editorials are occasionally tincured with
rather too much asperity, That the unchanged Re-
puolcans have abundant cause for deep seated hos
tiy to those who have let slip the dogs Of war on

OLIVER TWIST. BY Charles Dickens. (Boz. % vols
Phil: Lea g. Blanchard.
This very interesting and valuable story having
been concluded, is now repubished entire by the
above enterprising house. II seems to be generally
conceded that this is Dickens "best work." and
Boz" is the most popular writer Of the day. It is
said that 10000 copies of the Pick Wick Papers
have been sold, which surpasses every thing, we
believe, since the publication Of SCOTS works The
Edinburgh Review, for October, says of Dickens:
"We think him very original writer, well enli-
lied to his popularity, and likely lose it, and
the trues ard most spirited delineation of English
lite, among the middle and lower classes since the
days of Smoet and Fielding"

CAMpRIDGEPoRT, Mass. --.
Mn EpIToR-The second trial for election Of a
Member of Congress, in this, the 4th District, has
resulted in no choice. The cause which produced
this result may be satisfactorily accounted for in the
vote Of Mr. Parmener, on the fifth resolution, offer
ed by Mr. Anterior, of New Hampshire, which
prohibits the action of the House every petition,
memorial, resolution, proposition, or paper, touch
ing" the abolition Of slavery.
Many Of the professed friends OF Mr.. Parmen,er,
Judging of his political principles by his on this
resolution, set him down, at once as a sort of tri-
colored politician, mixture Of conservative, loco
foco and abolitionis believing that he thus voted to
the abolition votes in his district, thereby
making sure Of his reelection.
But it appears the abolitionists were not to be
caught in this trap, they remembered his letter to
Them that he should vote for the abolition Of slavery
in the District OF Columbia when the PROPER time
should arrive; but this satisfactory for they
had resolved, in convention, to give their votes to
no one but an immediate abolitionist. The friends
Of the administration on the other hand, believing
that the resolutions of Mr.. Atherton were constu-
tonal strictly according with democratic principles
the doctrine of the administration, therefore dis
trusted Mr.. Parmenters political principles and did
not vote at ALL or threw their votes with the abol-
tionists.
Mr. Parmenter, at the first trial, wanted about two
hundred and sixty votes to elect him-at this trial he
falls short about double that number.

1t is intimated in some quarters that Mr. Rives
was personal in his structures upon the President in
his late speech. This is not SO. Mr.. Rives spoke
of the President in terms Of personal rcspect-and
his remarks were strictly parliamentary, dignifed,
and decorous He attacked the financial policy OF
the government, and criticised the general course OF
the administration but it was in manly and honor
able style Indeed we rejoice to say that generally,
in all the debates in Congress- and in all the respect
able newspapers Of the country, the President is
treated with that consideration which is due TO his
character as gentleman, and his station as Chief
Magistrate ofthe nalon.-AieJ. Gag.

them, and their most cherished interests and senti-
ments freely admit-nor do censure that indie
pendence which dares TO freely discuss the measures
Of our rulers.
ms discussion is usually conducted with proprie-
" and dignity in the columns of the Times and It is
only on rare occasions that its zeal is tinctured with
undue severity.
Whatever talent and political acumen may be
claimed for the Wing press generally-and that the
larger part Of their corps editorial are both shrewd
and eloquent, is admitted Yet to arouse the atten-
ton OF the TO the errors OF the present dynasty
requires that intimate knowledge of their sentiments,
preludices and preconceived opinions In which a
large portion Of the opposition editors are from their
long cherished associations deficient For this cause
the talents of writer, such as the editor Of the
Times, can be more successfully exerted when adj
dressing the unchanged Republicans than those of
confirmed Wing. The same reason can be given
for the admitted fact that of all the presses in this
State none has welded so powerful an influence in
the ranks of the Democratic party and caused nu-
meruus Withdrawals from the allies of the Loco.focos,
as the New York Times. The political sagacily Of
the editor is manifested In seizing the most obvious
and prominent faults of the present administration
and exhibiting them in all their naked deformity.--
Beneath bis keen seaipelth hidden recesses of cor
ruption and misrule burst upon the sight of the
obtuse, and nothing but inveerae persistence in
ror can induce any doubt the existence OF the dis
ease. In the review of daily events-in mnistering
to the appetite OF population ever greedy for some
thing newin critical dissertations current itera
ture, the drama and the arts, and in selecting the
most appropriate items of foreign and domestic intel
ligence, the Times is behind none of its contempora-
ries The mercantile department is under the SUI
pervision and immediate control Of the proprietor
N. T. Eldridge, Esq, who combines an intimate ac-
quantance with all the minntia of that branch Of
newspaper business united to handsome talents as
writer. His daily digest OF the state of the money
and produce market, and the information impaired
generally under that head, is marked by great
racy and renders the Times valuable to the merchant
and manufacturer
As may be inferred from glance 1.-THE advertising
columns Of this journal the patronage is steadily in
creasing and there is little doubt that the time is not
far distant when its success will be equal the
favored of its competitors.
As is exhibited by The names at the head Of its
columns, the preference Of the editor for Messrs.
CLAY and KALAMAZOO as candidates for the two high
estoces in the gin OF the people is manifested That
both these gentlemen have host Of friends in this
State who will exert all their influence to have them
selected To fill these important Offices is most true and
firmly believe that the Times in the above selection,
has rather followed than led public opinion.
