Important Disclosures for the Wido,U and
Orphan.-We speak advisedly (says the
Pennsylvanian) and upon good authority,
when we say that the Bank of the United
States was not broken alone by its cotton
speculatious and dealings in fancy stocks.
We boldly assert that seven millions of
dollars of the suspended debts, occupying
nine folio pages of the Ledger, consists
of loans to active and prominent federal
wings, during the last few years and some
of them made so recently as 1889 and
1910.
- To Thnr.,aA NJ M,Kanney ihare is char
ged the enormous sum of two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars
To Daniel Webster. The small sum OF
one hundred and ten en,housand dollars-26-
600 of which was overdrafts in 1889 and
1910.
To John S. Riddle, the moderate sum
Of one hundred thousand dollars!

1t is said that the extraordinary anxiety
Of the friends Of Messrs. Clay and Web
ster, to confer upon Mr.. Tyler the title and
distinction of President, arises from de-
sire to place him in the one term princi-
pie, iffound necessary, with better grace.
If he should 90 through the term as mere
ly "Vice President and acting President"
which he only is, and should have desire
10 be made President, the rival aspirants
would feel awkward. But if he is really
President for the next four years, they will
say, "Mr. Tyler, you have Teen Presi-
dent one term, and according 10 most ap-
proved cannons Of the great Democratic
Republican Whig party, must step aside
and leave the track for US. Turn about is
fair play, Mr.. President"

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

TILT CL0MEAN- N-CONIEMPIl
Daniel Webster and "the government"
are filling up the measure of popular de.
testation, with unxeampled rapidty. or
all the disgraceful acts which have been
committed by this Coon. skin administra-
ton, the appointment of a special agent
(without sanction of law to examine the
affairs Of some of the Master Mechan-
les in the Navy Yard who happen 10 be-
long to the republican party; these have
received circulars from the special agent
aforesaid, stating that charges 10y whom?)
have been preferred against them. Now
why all this hypocritical pretence? Ifthese
worthy gentlemen are TO be removed for
their political opinions, why this mockery
of charges? why not ousl them at once?
But suppose there really is grounds for
charges 10 be alledged-is there not pro-
per officer now in command, who is fully
competent 10 investigate them? And is
not The appointment Of special minister
for this purpose a most audacious insult TO
both the late and present Commanders at
this station
We have never seen our community so
much land SO JUSTIFY excited, as they are
in relation to this matter. We have had
serious apprebensions, since yesterday
evening, that something of most unplea-
SAINT character will grow out of this matter.
II is certainly one Of the most high-handed
outrages upon public propriety, which the
federal Cabine, have yet perpetrated up
on the American people.

The Cfops.-In this section ofihe conn. conn
try The Wheat and Corn are very promis-

ofthe nights, and the drought, we fear. The
Cotton crop has been considerable damag-

had a large quantity ofrain, but we feel
assured that it has come too late 10 save
the Cotton crop from the injuryit had sus-

The Crops.-From conversation with
the Superintendent of Public Works, who
has just completed an extensive tour thro'
the Stale, we learned that the prospect for
the next crop is very discouraging in every
part of the State he has visited, except
some parts of ST. Matthews. The crops
are more promising in that Parish than
any part Of the State he has visited.
From some parts of the up-country, we
had previously heard of very bad stands of
Cotton; but the Corn and Wheat crops are
very Indifferent generally, as well as the
Cotton.
The prospect for fruit is said to be good
in The up country, but by no means in SO
in The lower-Adyocate.

against him that he was "takipg care OF

Spirit Of the Times, Of the capacity of,he
comersi in at The Custom House on Satur.
day. One ofthe Deputy Inspectors was
sent down to the brig Elizabeth, loading al
Lombard street wharf, for Havana, to note
the delivery ofseveral packages of goods
entitled to deben,ure. Not knowing ex-
actly what to do, he applied TO Captain
Gallagher, Of the brig, for information
The captain, being wag, resolved to
"try conclusions on the new deputy, ac-
cordingly gave him deal Of the most in.
comprehensive intelligence.
"Come this way, Mr.. Inspector" said
Capt. G., with great gravity and Difference,
"come this way Ill show you the boxes,
and Tell you what to do with 'em.
"You're a jewel, captain" returned the
olher. "1've only had my commission
about twenty minutes, and I'D be thankful
ifyou'll just Tell me what to write down on

The Deputy, much excited by the nov-
city Of his situation, wrote out this precious
rigmarole on the crown Of his hat, without
suspicion, and then engured If they were
entitled to "preventure."
"Debenture, you mean," said the cap
tain, observing that The green deputy didn't
know the ropes;-"Oh, yes! they're en-
titled TO two debentures aud a half" Be

The Crops.-We have noticed that con-

to the growing cotton crops by the cool
and damp weather north of this. The
same cause has operated to its injury 10
some extent in this Stale, but generally,
through This portion, and south of this, we
are happy to say so far as our information
extends, that although somewhat retarded
in its growth, no material dammage has as
yet been sustained, and that prospects are
rather more fattering otherwise. Wheat
and corn certainly promise well. The
former is now nearly fit for harvesting
