ALI A MISTAKE.

Il is now supposed tha, the blood hounds recently
imported by the administration, at the eminent peril
of the crew and passengers OF the vessel conveying
them over, are not intended Tor the Florida war
was at first believed but are TO be used in tracking
and running down the leg-treasurers. II such is
really the object, Mr. Van Burcn certainly deserves
great credit Tor his sagacily in the matter, as The
whole credit will be due TO him, Mr.. Gouse never
having mentioned it, 1t is true, il was part OF the
original plan of Messrs. Gouge and Van Buren,
(Mr Woodbury. was not 50 ctcar on that point) 10
penitcniiary every scoundrel that abscondcd with
the money. Still as catching comes before hanging,
friend Levi has had some difficulty in the discharge
of that part Of his official duties although, TO be
sure his vivid mind and clear and perSpicuous style
has enabled him TO explain satisfactorily 10 M Idn
Baren The hounds WILL Of course, be Stationed a,
the points selected for the Receivers General and be
under their immediate control and discipline. II
there should be any mistake in this matter the Globe
will no doubt explain, as did the other report about
these dogs. ~
A querulous friend inquired, on reading the above,
If the Receivers General should abscond themselves,
who would put the dogs on them answeted,
that the same instinct that would enable the hounds
10 distinguish the track Of an Indian from that OF
white man would make them trail a defaner OF their
own accord whether he high or subordinate
officer of the Government. He seemed satisfied
with the explanation. "

COMMUNICATIONS.
FoR THE aApisoNIAN.

PsrERsnURd, Va February !, 1910.
! Sir:--A call in my profession, demanding my at
tention, carried me to Richmond, on Thursday,
| when, and where availed myself OF the opportu-
nifty 10 witness the attempt Of the General Assem-
bly during the two last days of il, to elect U. >.
Senator, which you will have been Informed before
| you receive this, ended in failure. II was early
foreseen in the contest that such must and would be
the result unless some Of the iadomitabies thought
1 fit to let il be otherwise.
! Mi Rives' highest vote was SO, lacking one Of
majority. Mr. Masons was 81, lacking three Mr.,
] Aliens was So (I believe it was,) lacking four
From that will be sccniha Mr. Rives election was
more reasonably calculated on, and at any stage OF
the struggle might have ben more easily effected,
than iha, Of Mr.. Mason. Either Of the three i'm
/ practicable Wings by absentng himself from the
! House, or by voting for Mr.. Rives, might have
given success to Mr. RiveS' nomination, and there
by, to the Common wealth repose the subject. But
neither would do either. While the election of Mr..
Rives might have been thus effected, the election OF
MIR. Mason impraccabe, unless three Wings
or three Conservatives would vote for him. ] sup
pose the three impraeticaJiss thought it was more
reasonable that three Wings or three Conservatives
should vote for Mr. Mason, than it was that either
of them should give his vote TO Mr. Rives, 10 get
ou, of the way and let him be elected.
Whilst there is much. in this failure 10 lament,
there is something to rejoice over, in it. The Stale
is but Cat bes) half represented in this important
and long session of the Senate; and all that But
the good which will result from the failure, ven
ture predict will be in this that the opposition TO
Van Burens reelection will by il be augmented and
more closely united
One other observation: If the supporters OF Mr..
Mason when Mr.. Allen was nominated, had yielded
to the promp,ings of patriotism, instead Of fostering
in party frenzy, and put sone other in nomination
in the place of Mr.. Mason there is rational doubt
that election would have been made, of Mr.. Allen
or OF the other nominee, matter who he might
have been. The Conservatives, by declining 10 re-
nominate MIR. Rives afer Mr. Allen presented,
afforded the administration party ample room 10 make
the trial between Mr.. Allen and whatever other per-
son the friends Of MIR. Mason, Withdrawing him,
might have presented. But they would not do it;
and it is for the country to Judge and determine with
what measure of reprobation the administration par
" shall be visited for the failure to elect Senator
PuBLius.

Constellation, leading Van Buren paper in Viz

TAKING THE BACK TRACK.

One of the most ludicrous illustrations of
the force of the current of public opinion,
and of the utter impraciicaLiiity Of Loco
foco doctrines, is to be found IN the Iate
proceedings of the loco-focos IN the fenn-
sylyania Legislature. The entire oco-loco
party. with the Presidents Message for their
textbook, and :. Dotcn ,cuh the banks !"
" Perish credit! Perish commerce!' for their
battle cries, were about to make final and ia
tai onslaught upon the banks, which should
were about to charge bayonets, some uafore-
seen influence forced them to abandon their
arms, and retreat from their position One
step further would have involved the State in
discredt and bankruptcy, and compelled the
banks to wind up their affairs A ship was
waiting to take the instalment due on the pub
lie debt abroad, and little more delay and
folly would have sent the death knell Of Penn
sylvania credit to Europe.
To the bodness aud frmness Of Governor
PORTER, who is at heart Cons ervative, the
State is much indebted for the salvation Of its
credit. No merit, however, can he claimed by
any loco-foco for stopping in his destructive
career. 1t is power greater than a repre-
sentative body--it is the people who have
modified and restrained the operations Of the
loco-foco principles of this administration or,
we should rather say, perhaps, it is the i'm
possibility, after reaching the verge Of a
precipice, of taking the final leap into the
abyss-the entire impracticability of carrying
out the doctrines Of loco-focoism.
The Philadelphia United States Gazette, Of
Monday, says
ave are informed that Thomas Dunlap, Esq Pres.
dent Of the Bank Of the United States. yesterday made
arrangements for advance the State Of 1870 900
