LATEST FROM WASHINGTON.

Our advices from Washington to-day arc
that the Fiscal Corporation bill was, in all
probability passed yesterday in the senate, and
Immediately sent to the President. We had
supposed it would occupy some some days, &
that it would not probably go to the president
until the Land bill was returned signed. The
The fact, however, that the house has accom-
plished all its work, and is waiting for the &C.
ton of the senate, may have fastened the
movements of the latter body.
We hear nothing more of Mr. Everett's case
but trusting that a knowledge of how deeply
the whole North feels on this subject, will not
be without its effect upon the judgment and
patriotism of hesitating Senators, we refrain
from farther comments at present.
What the Executive action may be on the
Fiscal Corporation bill remains as uncertain
as ever. Confident assertions are made that
another Veto is to come. 1t may be-but we
apprehend no one knows, possibly not even the
president himself, as yet.-N, Y. american.
A SUCCESSFUL RAIL RoAp.-The receipts of
the Philadelphia and Baltimore Railroad for
July, lS4l, amounted to S6S,S47 lac. This
is one of the most successful and best conduc-
ted improvements of the kind in the country
The agents and officers are courteous and at
tentive, the energies are of superior kind,
and the cars and horses are the best that can
be obtained.

J.W. LANGDoN is not considered genuine
whig by the whg party in New Haven. His
prevailing sympathies are there believed to be
with the opposition. So far therefore as we
have Endorsed him wing, we take all back,
and leave the people to Judge for themselves.
In saying this. however, we mean 10 convey no
sentiment of disIespect for Mr.. Langdon as a
worthy and intelligent citizen, but merely to do
justice TO the public. by correcting an error in
t. which cur carelessEess led us.

THE LAND BILL.

THE LAND BILL.
We announced yesterday the final passage
of this bill in the Senate, with single amend
ment which, without doubt, will be concurred
in by the House. The Votes of the Virginia
Senators may be taken as conclusive evidence
that the President will sign the bill. We may
therefore congratulate our readers upon the
success of this great and leading Wing meas.
ure. We know not how others regard the
Land Bill, but for ourselves we look upon it as
far the most important measure that has been
mentioned in Congress for the last tpenty years.
1t secures the Old Thirteen their Just proper
ton of the proceeds of the land sales, while
ward their works of INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT,
and in multiplying the faculties for UNIVERSAL
EDUCATION.
This important bill was not suffered, how
ever, to pass the Senate without n Characters
tic exebltiton of spleen and anger on the part
of Mr.. Benton Having opposed the bill
vehemently but unsuccessfuly for the three
weeks during which it was discussed in the
Senate, Mr.. Benton on Thursday laid aside
argument and employed denunciation against
the measure and its authors. The Senate lis
tened with explanary patience to the frothy
rawlings of this demagogue for two hours and
until his virulence had exhausted itself, when
the bill was Immediately passed and returned
to the House of Representatives.
The People of the old States will not fail to
remark that when this bill came up on its f.
nal reading, Mr.. McRoBERTs, Loco-Foco
Senator from Illinois, warmly urged the Sem
ators from the new States to hold back this
bill until after the next apportionment, as then
they would be able 10 make rchatterms they plea
sed. The suggestion was worthy of Loco
Focoism, but was instantly and Indignantly
rejected by the Wings. 1t serves however to
show the spirit in which the Land Bill has been
resisted by the opposition in Congress. Hap
PLY the union and patriotism of the Wings
has triumphed over the utmost efforts of the
Loco Focos.

Correspondence of the Albany Daily Advertiser.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Both, ls4l.
Rejoice Rejoice Congress rejoice-the
nation will rejoice. The great measure of the
session is passed. The amendments Of
the Senate to the LAND BILL were adop-
ted by the House this morning, with the ex.
ception of that which changed the ratio of dis
tribution. From this the Senate receded, and
the bill now only requires the signature of the
President. This i, will receive.
What glorious days work! What rich
Land bill will signalize this Congress, and
amply repay for an hundred extral sessions.
Let the Locos shout and fire guns over the
veto. The sub-Treasury is repealed--ihe
Land bill ia passed. All the Wing measures
will soon be accomplished, and the promises
which have been held out to the people will he
more than realized.
What shrill of delight will pervade the
whole nation, when the passage of the Land
bill is known!
These humbuggers, Benton and Calhoun,
are political bankrupts, and can no longer bam-
boozle the people of the west with The offered
bride of the public lands. Cheer up-the good
work is nearly done. This great nation will
60 on vigorously and prosperous'y.
Yours. truly.
In addition 10 the above, we would state
that the select committee of the Senate have

The National Intelligencer says, that it is
not the Wings but the OPPOSITION in the Sena tie
who are opposed 10 The nomination of Edward
Everett. They are united, Aboliiionists and
all upon this, and hope, by de;aching three or
four Southern Wings from the main body, to
procure the rejection of this distinguished
statesman.

Gf The New York Herald, (whig,) and Phlla-
delphia Ledger, (neutral,) have made up table OF
recent losses to banks, and therefore to the country,
by their own officers by which it appears that from
twenty two alone the losses amount to the neat Int
tie sum of twenty.six millions, sixty-fve thousand
five hundred dollars! They pretend not that the
table is complete, but the Ledger says It IS but
small part of the losses that have recently occurred
If this be but small part would not the whole be
beautiful commentary on the present banking sys-
tenn? Look at this small portion Of losses, by the
select officers of Bank directors, and then examine
the oue1aiions Of the Treasury, and then draw
Treasury under the control of the Secretary, whose
movements are open to the President, and banking
institution whose officers may be elected by the sub
jects Of Great Britain for the collection safkeepng
and disbursement ofpublic moneys. BY the ope-
ration of the Independent Treasury, not farthing
lost, and yet the administration has proper
to repeal it, leaving resort to banks the only alter
native. Judge between them. ,...s-,s ID.

Tue PRESIDENT AND HIS CABINET.-
The New York Herald which predicted
with so much accuracy the veto of Presi>
dent Tyler for weeks before it was sent
in. has the following article, in the paper
of the 23d, on the difficulties between
Clay and Tyler, and the probable dissolu.
ton Of the Cabinet: - 4 j. IL
"The difference between the President
on one part, and Mr.. Clay and the Cab.
net on the other part, does not arise alto,
eether on the late bank bill-or on any
bank bill. In the Veto Message Of the
President, or his general administration Of
affairs, there was nothing to justify Mr..
Clay in casting upon the Executive the
vulgar imputation that he was in hands Of
a Kitchen Cabinet. John Tyler is an able
fearless, homes. and accomplished man
independent and manly and the very las.
person against which such an imputation
could be sustained. The melancholy fact
that Mr.. Clay should descend from his
ual1dignlty Of mind to make such an in
situation, bodies forth bitterness of spirit
"a hostility Of purpose that the veto Of
no bank could justify or provoke. The
sad truth is this-Mr Clay is candidate
for the Presidency. and John Tyler will
not give the influence of his administration
to make or unmake presidents. He be-
lieves that to the people belongs that pow.
Grand that his duty is to administer the
government with honesty and energy.
Hence the singular exhibition of the ultra
wings headed by Mr.. Clay, joined in by
the cabine.-and followed by the Office
beggars, trying now to destroy the very
man they elected, because he will be the
chief magistrate of the whole people, and
no. the corrupt head of faction.
Under these views we do not believe
that the President can get along a, all with
his present cabinet. They will be dissolv.
edit is only question of time"

PHILADELPHIA, August 2lst, 1871.

As the mystery coupled with the move
ments of the present managers OF the Uni>
ted States Bank thickens, the public dis>
satisfaction increases. Il is the almost
universal belief that Mr.. Biddle now holds
the direction of the Bank in his own hands ;
and when he shall desire TO have certii.
cate of character from a court ofjustice.
he will have ajudgement for the defendant
taken. This lsay, is the general impress
sion here, and there are several conclrriug
circumstances TO prove its truth. A little
time, l think, will develope the fact, it
be as stated. Jour. of Commerce.
