The Globe has atlast concluded To swallow rs own
words, and comes out in support of Mr.. Walls Jsds.

The President having concluded, consulted the
Chamber respecting the day on which the discus
sons should commence, and il was agreed open 1t
| on Monday
| The tone Of this address is considered hostile to
the government.
New uneasiness had been excited by reports OF an
uniavorable change In the health OF The Duchess Of
| Wirtembnrgh; and IL was even stated that the
Queen had set off for Pisa, where the Duchess was
residing.
| twas rumored in Paris that dissolution Of The
| Chamber of Deputies was not improbable.
The libel suit of M. Gsquet, late project Of police
against the Messenger newspaper, had resulted in a
verdict OF "guilly Of defamation against public
functionary" but not guilty of defamation as regards
| his private life. The responsible editor was con-
demned 10 pay fine of 100 francs, being the mini
mum of the penalty. M. Gsquet, il will be remen-
bsred, was charged with pecuation and seduction.

striking M. Gisquets name from the list of council

We would thank the Richmond Enquirer to stick
to its text and pass by with that contempt which
its consistent and courteous editor affects to entertain
for us. 1t seems, however, 10 have become malig-
nant and determined that we shall receive nothing
but abuse even for the strictest devotion TO truth or
even 10 those principles which that editor cherished
in common with US year ago. So long as we re-
main at this post shall sustain the truths and the
principles with which we set out, whoever may adj
vocate Them II, therefore, Gen. Harrison urges Re
publican doctrines up IN the attention OF The Ameri-
can people, we may applaud him for it, If Mr.. Clay
takes a magnanimous and patriotic stand upon the
fearful topic of abolition he receives cordial APP
probation If our old Van Buren, friends will re-
turn to the doctrines from which they have diverged
in the pursuit of party advantages, and re-occupy
the ground Of 1922 we will be Just 10 them also
But justice is partial in her dispensations, and
when Mr.. Clay has abandoned a National Bank, In
ternal Improvements by the Federal Government,
asd reposes upon the Compromise Act in relation 10
the Tariff, why cannot justice render to him the
homage which the Enquirer has rendered to Judge
Tucker, for doing, as il pretends the same thingl
The difficulty is that justaec with the Enquirer, is al
together different thing when applied to Judge
Tucker, from justice TO MIR. Clay Mr.. Tucker sup
ports the Enquirers man-Mr. Clay does not.
The difference between us is just this: We go for
principles not men; the Enquirer goes for men, with
out principle.

SAFE KEEPING OF THE PUBLIC MONEY.


In the Senate, on Thursday last, Mr.. WRoHr
called up his bill TO secure the public money in the
hands Of public officers; when Mr.. RIvEs offered
substitute, based upon the Virginia system, which
precludes public officers from receiving any money
into their hands at all and requires that all the re-
venue shall be placed directly in bank BY the payers
Mr.. Wrights BILL Of thirty pages, is mere dense
mass of smoke to hide the fire, which is TO be let
burning with Executive officers; while Mr.. Riyes'
BILL goes at once to the seat of disorder, and pro-
vdes for eradicalng it altogether. Every dollar Of
the millions OF the peoples money, that has been
lost since 1882, has been of that which in the
hands Of public officers not dollar has been lost
in that time by the banks, expected to be accord
ing to the statement Of the Secretary Of the Trea
sury.
In The House, on the same day. Mr. CLARKE. Of
New York, presented bill, which he gave notice
he should offer as an amendment to the enacting
clause OF Mr. Cambrelengs's bill when il shall come
up, which was ordered to be printed. This bill en-
braces all the principles of Mr.. Rives', with more
detail connected with carrying it into practical ope
ration The country will now see who is ready 10
take the responsibility Of leaving the fiscal affairs
the nation in their present deranged and confused
condition.
We hope to be able to publish both the bills in our
next.

IN SENATE Yesterday the interference OF Federal
oncers IN popular election was sill The subject un-
der discussion. MIR, PREsros, Of Sou,h C,ayo,ina
addressed that body tlength In favor Of The princ
pie of securing the elective right In It's puYitv and
freedom, against the improper interference Of the
Executive, and his "thronged legionS" Of depen.
dents. He illustrated the g Democracy" Of such a
measure by reference to Mr.. Bentons report, De
Wit Clintons message to the Legislature, Mr.. Cal
houR'5 report, General Jackson's promising Inaugur-
| al, Mr.. Buchanans former speech, &c; the prece-
dents for II he found In the repeated legislation Of
the popular branch OF the English Government and
the demands Of the reform party; and the proprieiy
and necessity Of It, be enforced by clear and cogent
argument in reference TO the tremendous patronage
OF the Executive, and by citing nu nerous examples,
showing the excessive evil Of permitting this paro-
mage to come In conflict with the freedom of cleo
tons II was one Of Mr. Preston's most able and elo-
quent efforts, and several beautiful passages pro-
duced an audible effect upon The large audience that
had crowded TO hear II.
| Mr. RoANE, Of Va, then rose to "defne his posi-
tons" and the audience mostly withdrew. Mr..
RoAss stated that this day, (the 18th Of Feb) was
fitting occasion for this purpose. He said he was
elected by the democratic party OF Virginia, 10 sus-
tain the administration, and he intended to sustain
It, He sanguinely expected to have the co-opera-
ton OF his colleague (Mr RvEs,) but he was sorry
to find himself differing toto-cGlo, from his COL
league, on almost every question which had arisen
in the Senate. Mr.. Roane said he was a democrat.
He then proceeded, at length to talk to his colleague,
now and then adverng to the subject under considers
ton, and speaking Of Virginia with emphasis which
if had been stranger would have led us TO suppose
that was the only State in the Universe. The i'm
preston received was, that Mr. RoANE the Sc
nator Of party, and not Of State, and that he
here with determination to support Mr.. Van Buren,,
right or wrong.
In House., the motion to strike out the appropri-
alton for the Board Of Navy Commissioners, was dis
cussed most of the day.

PUBLIC DEFAULTERs--PUBLIC MEN

In document No ILL., Of the l7th Of January,
1888, among the list of defaulters reported by the
Secretary of the Treasury, was John Taylor, of
Cahaba, Alabama, as principal, and William Smith
and w. r. King, as sureies for the sum of $ll,-
li5 90 due July 18TH 1921, with the remark "sued"
On the 18th day of January, 1889, the Secretary Of
the Treasury made report, Doc. No. l22 in an
swer TO call in part of what amount has been
paid, or what balances appearing due from default
tes in the report Of the 17th of January last have
been adjusted and reduced" In this report not a
word is said about the above defaulters. We there
fore must take il for granted, that the amount stands
now as 1t did in January, 1888, neither adjusted"
nor " reduced Mr. SMITH is understood 10 be the
gentleman who is now the great leading advocate
for the Sublreasury in the Alabama Legislature,
and Mr. KING is the distinguished Senator from that
State, and thorough supporter of Mr.. Van Buren,
and his Subreasury. A debt due in 1921, and I'M
collected in 1899, making eighteen years indul-
gence! Pretty liberal, we should think.
In document No. ILL., s. w Beal Of Green Bay
Wisconsin Territory, as principal, and Thomas II.
Comstock, and JOHN ii. PRENrIss, as surelies were
reported defaulters for 1886 OCT 49, due June Both,
1887 with the remark directed TO pay said balance
into Farmers and Mechanics Bank of Michigan
18th January, 1888" On the 2sth day Of January,
1882 in Doc. No 100, the same parties are reported
defaulters still for $1,000 49, with the remark "ba-
lance perfectly secured" We understand that JOHN
H. PRENrIss, above named, is the present member
from the State of New York, of the same name,
who is always found supporting all the federal Loco
foco measures of the Administration, and the Sub
| treasury.
In document No. ILL., CO.. INGERsoLL was reported
defaulter for $40, 49l OO-due January 18th, 1887
AT page 10th is the following, c. J. INGERsoLI late
District Attorney. Suit ordered February 2Sth
1897 for S7649l. Judgment obtained in favor OF
the United States at February term, 1887, for 49,
9s5 7s with interest from 9th April 1887, till paid
Advised the First Auditor of the judgment in this
case, September ID, 1887" In Doc No. 100, of ia
nuary, 1897 the Secretary of the Treasury saysnot
word about this defacation; we, therefore, are
leil to presume that it has neither been "adjused"
nor "reduced." MI Ingersoll was, recently, high
y extoIed, in the official organ for his dsorganis-
ing and revolutionary argument before the Supreme
Court OF the United States. He also supports the
Sub-trcasury and wars against all banks.

THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY.

The appointment by the Mouse ofRepresentatives on
Thursday last Of select committee to inquire into the
charges pr erred by Lieut. Hunter against Commodore
Elliott and into the in which he discharged his
duties while in command OF the squadron in The Med-
teranean in 1897 and 49, into which the Secretary of
the Navy ibid not think proper to institute any pro-
cecdings"i is in opinion, the severest rebuke that
could have been given that functionary by the Repre-
sentatives Of the Nation.
Ofthe conduct OF Commodore Elliott, or Of the cha
racter Of the charges made against him, we know
nothing. Weare disposed to consider every man nno-
cent until found guilty.
This proceeding OF the House shows, that while the
Administration doing all in their power to degrade
the Navy and bring disrepute the peoples repre-
senaves are resolved put forth their strong arm TO-
protect the character and honor of that great branch Of
the National defence. We hope this committee VIII
ferret out and place before the world the of the
author of the infamous attack the Navy made In the
Globe, on the LIST and ID days Of August last

OPERATIONS OF THE sUB-TREASURY--
MORE PLUMBER OF THE PEOPLES


MONEY.
On the 2Sth day of March, 1888 the Secretary Of
the Treasury, in Document 295, reported TO the
House of Representatives the amount of moneys
"deemed available for the public service now in the
Treasury or in the hands of Collectors and Re-
ceivers, subject to draft" Among the sums thus re-
ported was 80 2i9 ii in the hands of the Receiver at
ST. Stephens, Alabama $ls,35S 03 in the hands Of
the Receiver at Cincinnati Ohio, and S27,953 81 in
the hands of the Receiver al Tallahassee, Florida.
In report dated January 2sth, 1899, Doc. l22,
prospecting defalcations of RECEIVERS and other de-
posories Of the public moneys" the Receiver at
ST. Stephens, Alabama, Is reported defaulter for
S3O,6Ol 90, being SIS, 1862 IS more than he had in
his hands on the 2Slh day Of March last. The Re-
ceiver at Cincinnati is reported defaulter for the
sum Of SI3, 7sl 10 and The Receiver at Tallahassee
for s26 69l 81. This is the practical operation of
the Treasury during the last few months. Sc
ven,y thousand dollars Of the peoples money, plum
dered by three of Mr.. Van Buren's Sub-Treasurers

thirty Receivers, holding a large amount in their
