Mr.. EDITORIAL ward meeting last week,
Mr.. J. M Buchanan, as have been informed,
stated upon the public stand, that committee OF
Van Buren, men had waited on the widow Of the
murdered T. H. Laughlin, and that she had to d
them that her husband had had fit or two on
the morning of the 9TH of May, before he left
home to join the wing procession. These asser7
tons, if made by Mr.. B. can be proven to be en-
irely unfoundcd, by the most incontestibie eyi-
dence. Mr.. Laughin was on that morning in
fine health, and was not known to complain
once; nor had he, for more than two years, been
any way materially diseased.
1t is hoped, after this, that Mr.. B. will inform
himself correctly upon the subject, and make the
requisite recantation when he next appears upon
the stand. JAMES q. OW EMS. f

Z TRANSMISSION or LETTERS FROM AMERICA
we understand that serious Inconvenience has
been experienced of late by parties IN the Ameri-
can trade, and others connected with that coun-
try, in consequence of the non-arrlval of their
letters, formerly, by the New York packets.
The fault is said to rest with the New York post
office, which, from some unexplained cause, has
recently contracted habit of sending letters for
England by the transient vessels, instead Of the
regular liners; and the consequence is serious
loss of time in their receipt. The post office is
certainly bound to forward the letters by the most
expeditions conveyance, and, as the packets are
the most regular and swiftest vessels next to
steamers, the departure from principle so just
and so long acted upon, is not only inconvenient
but unfair. Some of the transient vessels are
unquestonably excellent sailers, and few Of
them successfully cenpete with the packets, but
this remark does not apply to all. The safest
way would be, in every case where a steamer is
not sailing SO as to be likely to anticipate apack-
ct to send all letters by the latter, unless par
ticular vessel is named. A system of collision,
it has been limited to us, exists between the post
Office authorities at New York and some Of the
transient ships; but this we can hardly credit
If such be the case, which we do not believe, a
representation from the Consul here to the gov
eminent at Washington, would efectually put a
step to it.
1t is expected that MIR. O'ConRell will issue
an address to his Irish brethren in America, ON
the subject of slavery.

PROSPECTUS OF THE .sPILOT,'s
A MISCELLANEOUS, LITERARY AND POLITICAL
NEWSPAPER, PUBLISHED IN BALTIMORE BY
DUFF GREEN.

The Weekly Pilot will be greatly enlarged,
and in addition to current news and politics,
will contain the best and latest review of the
MARKETS. To render it more interesting
as family paper, great care will be taken to
give choice Miscellaneous extracts, from the
Domestic and Foreign Periodicals, so that
distant readers, at an expense of two dollars per
annum, will, in addition to news and politics,
have choice selections from those periodicals
which would cost them more than ten times the
sum.
propose to give, in addition to the chapters
on Kendall, which have been stereotyped, my
letter to the Hon. George McDufie, defending
Gen. Harrison from the assaults of this retired
statesman, and list of the most prominent office
holders, with statement Of their salaries, for the
double purpose of enabling the people to take a
proper account of all those who, for neglect of
duty, or abuse of official station, may deserve to
be removed from office; and that in case of Mr.,
Van Buren's reelection, when his principles ola
reduction of wages are to be carried into effect,
the people may act Understandings on the sub
ject of reduction Of SALARIES. II the price
of property and the wages of labor are to be re-
duced, there should be corresponding reduction
of salaries With view to meet the present
crisis, 1 propose to send the WEEKLY PILOT,
thus enlarged, to clubs and associations or in
dividuals who may remit five dollars or more,
at the rate of FIFTY CENTS for THIRTEEN
NUMBERS.
1t would be understood that the Weekly Pilot is
a permanent paper, to be continued after the
Presidential election 1 hope to obtain for
it large permanent subscription, al the rate
of TWO dollars per annum-and that the low
rate at which it is sent, during the Presidential
contest, is to serve the great cause Of public IL
berty. DUFF GREEN

UNPARALLELED MALIGNI1 Y.

The Joint resolution to charter our banks was
put on its third reading, when Messrs Allen and
Tappan, aye, and even Buchanan, threw every
obstacle in the way Allen and TaPpan, by their
malignant attempts to traduce our cities and de-
cry the banks, absolutely disguised some of the
most moderate of their own party. To the honor
of the Senate, all their petty molestations went
for nothing, and all their motions were voted
down by nearly two to one. Thus be it ever
with set of creatures, who seem to be governed
by no principle save the destruction of all our
institutions. Buchanan and the rest of them
preach reform, but what do they practice? Let
their speeches on the reduction of labor, answer!
A resolution of Benton's passed this morning,
calling on the Secretary Of the Treasury for TIA

foreign importation from the Both Sept. 1888, to

any such thing-though the labor of its clerks
and messengers have nearly doubled those of the

Treasury, showing the purchase of all the lands
from the Indians from the commencement of the
Government.

cORREsPONDENCE OF THE PILOT
wAsHINGTON. July Is, 1910.


The Senate sat to late hour last night, de-
batting the Army Bill, and the bills on the pri-
vate calender. An outfit was put in this bill,
for Commodore Porter, of six thousand dollars.
An effort was made by Mr.. Tallmadgc to get in
the bill an appropriation for the improvement of
the Hudson River; but no-they desired to pun
ish Mr. Tallmadge, and they would not vote for
benefit of his State and for the Improvement of
that noble river, the Hudson,) opposed it.
+ A memorial was presented from several hun
bred citizens of Alexandria city and county dis
gusted with the conduct of Congress) praying to
be receded back to Virginia. The feelings of
these people are up, and will not be easily sub
dued.
The laborers on the public buildings, asked
remuneration for the two months they were out
of employ, on account of want of appropriation,
Mr.. Davis presented memorial from John
Ross, in behalf of Indian warriors.
A long and animated debate was had upon a
proposition to give the secretary of the senate,
his clerks, messengers, and laborers, about the
capitol, an increase of compensation; although
these people could not give $4,000 to improve a
river, which would benefit millions, they were
ready to throw away twice as much on wasteful
projects 1t was carried by vote of 81 to s.
MIR. Merricl1 got up the bill to cede the stock

QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE.

curious and very interesting case has lately,
occurred in Washington city, in which Doctor
Duncan, Of OHIO, is made to perform an import
ant part. 1t seems that this distinguished advo-
cate of the hard money system had passed as
currency to a citizen of Washington, note Of
less denomination than fire dollars. Inforna-
ton of the fact having been laid before Justice
of the Peace, warrant was issued for the ar
rest of Doctor Duncan; but the next day, before
the warrant had been served, the Justice recall
led it, and has since refused to issue it, on the
ground that, as a member of Congress he is privi
legged from arrest, except in cases of tire ason
felony, and breach of the peace.
The information was laid under the act of
Congress of 7th July, 1888, entitled San Act to
restrain the circulation of small notes as a cur
rency in the District of Columbia, and for other
purposes" This act provides that if amy person
shall ciOIate its provisions, the person so offend
ing shall be liable to indictment by the Grand
Jury of that county, and on conviction thereof,
be fined in a sum not exceeding fifty dollars, at
the discretion of the Court, for every offence.
The subject is important, and the question,
whether the freedom of members of Congress
from arrest, extends to which, by an act
of Congress, is made the subject for an iIldict-
n,ent By the Grand Jury, and where convic-
ton for the offence is punishable by fine and
Imprisonment, to enforce that fine ? The of
fence is not treason,-it mag not be felony, but
it would require rather latitudinous construc-
ton of the Constitution to decide that there is
no breach of the peace involved.
What adds more force ts this indentical case,
is the fact, that Alexander Duncan, the party
charged with the offence, was member of Con-
gress, when the act of 1888 was passed, and
roted for 1t.
