And to my mind the case was clearly set

room for hope. After a considerable pause,
during which time the poor hen-pecked hus-
band was casting over in his mind what was
best to be done in the emergency.
"My love, do | rightly understand that YOU

Letter to Tie Kenf,schu Committee.

sThe few were enabled to enrich them
selves by using the money belonging to the
many, and the public funds were, in fact,
drawn from the Treasury without an appro-
priation by Congress, in clear violation of a
Constitutional prohibition In effect, build
up rich privileged order, at their (the peo-
pies EXPENSE to control the Government and
destroy all equality among the people. They
see no reason why they should be taxed to
raise money for such purpose
President Jachson's Message, 1888.
s'The funds Of the Government will not be
annihilated by being transferred ; they will
Immediately be issued, for the benefit Of trade,
and if the Bank of the u. States curtails its
loans, the Deposite Banks will ertend theirs.
Mr.. Woodbury's instructions to the Opposite
Banks an 1887.
"The Deposites of the public money will
enable you to afford increased facilities to the
commercial and other classes of the commu-
nifty, and the Department anticipates from you
the adoption OF such course respecting your
accommodations, as will prove acceptable to
the people and safe to the Government
In the face of these facts, the President
would feign induce the people to believe he
had no agency, direct or indirect, in produce
ing this state of things, exclaiming as with a
holy horror,
''Shake not your CORY locks at me,
Thou canst not say l did it,"
But, from the above expose, how appropri-
ately it may be said of him, as Nathan said
unto David, ''thou art the man." or, as ex.
pressed by Mr.. PIcKENs, "Mou didst 1t! thou
didst t!''

LATER FROM FRANCE.

The packet ship Burgundy, at New York
from Havre, brings accounts to the LIST May.
An extra from the Herald office furnishes the
following items of intelligence:
The most important feature of this news is
the strong probability of a renewal of war in
the East. The Pacha of Egypt has concen-
Grated vast army in Syria, and from appear
ances we should not be surprised to sec a
blow struck soon.
The Chamber of Deputies was very busy
discussing the provisions of a new Salt Bill.
The Chamber then proceeded to the Haytian
Indemnity Bill, but did not do any thing.
The French campaign in Africa was to be
re-opened. The troops were marching to
Blidah.
England and Naples are still quarrelling
about the Sulphur trade.
Naples.-The Sud of Marseilles confirms
the commencement of hostilities between
England and Naples. The Bellerophon,
Jaseur, and Hydra, it says, were already in
the Bay of Naples, giving chase to every YES
sci under the Neapolitan flag. The Maria
Christina (and not the Maria Antoinette,) had
been chased, but afterwards released. Seve-
raj Neapolitan ships had been already captur-
ed, for the Hydra had on board many sailors
of that nation.
