n PHILIPS & A. JACKsoNs Patent Gar
L. lick and Smut Machine, for separating Garl;ck,
Smut, and Cheat from Wheat, &C.
The advantages of this improvement consist in the
Cheat other impurities from Wheat or other grain
and in the simplicity cheapness and durability Of the
apparatus Any carpenter, having seen one of these
machines, can very readily make them.
The wheat is efectually separated from the extra
neous matter by means Of strong current fair pro-
duced by the rapid motion of common mill fan, and
conducted through trunk fue, made Of plank, air
tight This trunk should be the full width of the fan,
about foot deep where il leaves the FAM and contract
ed about six inches at the mouth point where the
wheat passes through The wheat falls from a re-
yoving screen, upon an inclined plane, at the lower
end of which IL passes through perpendicular aper
ture the current Of air as it enters the
rent of air the falling mass DIVORCES from perpendi
cular line, at greater or less angle according to its
specific gravity-pure wheat diverging at an angle of
about thirty and all light matter, at angle of about
sixty degrees. The separation, having thus been per-
ecy effected by the action of the current of air upon
the surface of the PARTICLES of matter falling through
it. is preserved by means Of regulators Slides so ad
usted as to keep the wheat from the impure matter
Garick can be separated from wheat only in this way
and smut can be blown out whole, which must be de-
cidedly preferable TO any mode of rubbing by which
it Is pulverzed portion Of the dust must adhere 10
the grain, and thus pass into the -four.
The utility of this improvement has been fully test
ed by experiments made with garlick in every stage
from that of green and sappy, to light and dry-and
the result in every instance has been entirely salts
factory.
The patentees take pleasure in offering this improve
ment to mers and the public generally.
Letters from any part Of the United States, address
ed TO the patentees at Leesburg, Loudoun county,
Virginia, will be promptly attended to.

The Bank bill failed, but ON the 7th of January
1915, Mr.. Calhoun voted for another Bank charter
which passed the House of Representatives by vote
Of 100 to37. This bill was vetoed by Mr.. Madison.
But in 1876 Mr.. Calhoun again applied himselfto the
task, and the Bank was finally chartered.
Now, with what consistency can Mr.. Calhoun saw
in justification Of his present course, never had but
opinion"
"pll have starting shall be taught to sneak No.
thing but Mortimer" and Mr. Calhoun, who thinks
the country Is always in crss, speaks nothing but
bank" debt, and "tax-paying people," about all
which he never had but one opinion" How much.
alas has this quondam statesman fallen We have
heard nothing from him but grosns and obu,pations
he seems to be at war with civilization -uphodiup
nothing and speaking nothing Of any practical uii
IT, His language has sunken to the miserable orunt-
ing vocabulary of dull, and disappointed demapopue.
ne mas neither the merit Of ingenuity nor common
mother w.t. His mind seems to be burdened with the
dust OF Its own metaphysics and weakened, blinded
and lost In its long erratic wanderings He once
could dazzle he could not convince-he once couId
command admiration for his intellectual energies if he
could not appreciation of his doctrines But his dav
is past He no longer navigates the waters in his
and spashes family in the shallow breakers
We confess that we experienced yesterday less the
pleasure of triumph than an emotion of pity when
Mr.. CLAY bounced upon his unreasonable and absurd
Jargon about debt his representing the "taxpay-
ers, and about inequality in the disbursement of the
public money. Whatever public debt there was. il
was the legacy left us by the late administration
The States We're not to be abused on account of their
Indebtedness or for any fears of its hardship upon
posterity. Although posterty has done nothing for
them, yet what have they not done for posterity?
Mr.. CIay's rebuke Of Mr.. Calhoun's constant pre-
tence of representing the " tax payers" was wither-
ing. All the People Of this Union were taxpayers
and it was absurd and ridiculous to be eternalIy talk
ing about the tax-Paying people of South Carolina
when they contributed no more than any body else
and probably much less than some, to the support of
the Government. And as to the unequal disburse-
ment of the public money, it resulted from the nature
of things, and if the Creator had made the tides to
rise higher at Boston and New York than on the
Gulf it was no fault of this government We could
not tho laws of nature for the sake of spend
ing precisely as much money in South Carolina, as
was necessary to be expended in the same space in
other parts of the Union, and of the world Equally
ridiculous appeared Mr.. Calhouns proposition to put
the Government on a procrustean bed, and limit its
expenditure to an exact sum, to be no more and no
less in given year. We have seldom heard the Sc
nator from Kentucky speak with more power and
genuine eloquence nor have ever the Carroll
ma Senator more completely thrown hors du combat.

There is deep and intense excitement in the public
mind in relation to the healing action of Congress
Il has very seldom occurred here great extent,
and it, in a measure arrests both pleasure and busi-
ness. The inquiry is will Congress pass Bankrupt
law-and will they give us Bank3 These are the
exciting questions, and believe here very general
y, that unless both these measures become laws;w
shall experience no relief ...... ..... w.
Confidence, the foundation of all commercial inter
course and prosperity, does not exist in our country
To restore it, we must make it the interest of every
nsolvent to disclose the condition ofhs affairs This
is fall important for it is very certain that there are
thousands of insolvents now doing business and liv-
ing upon the property of others, and will continue to
do So unless you offer them inducement to declare
their insolvency Bankrupt law will offer that in
ducement. 1t will offer them freedom and hopes of
prosperity if they honestly surrender all their property
and sustain their character for honesty As the law
now is TO declare their insolvency is to deprive them
selves of all hope of being able to acquire the means
to support their families. They deferred from
honest and full confession.
We then say that it is impossible TO return to conf
dence and settled business without the aid of Bank
rupt law. sF
Give to the honest, unfortunate insolvent hope
that he will be able return to his former pursuits
and you will honesty take the place of deceit and
full and frank disclosure the place of conceament
and hypocrisy.
After Bankrupt Law has come with healing on
its wings and probed the rotenness that has been &C.
cumuating for years, then the introduction Of sys-
tenn Of exchange that will equalize the value of mo-
ney, will be Of vastly greater benefit tothe country
| These two great measures Bankrupt Law, and
Bank, will bring back confidence and regular BUSH
ness, and honesty will again abide among us.
Great embarrassment naturally begets evil Dr..
back" When man owes more than he ian pay,
and desires to do So he is very likely to believe what
he Desires and WILL therefore, frequently promise what
i he cannot perform.
4 If man is honest, he should be permitted to use
his credit to accumulate property, although he may
have been so unfortunate to have lost more than
he was worth, by fire, water, other cause -
Is this not reasonabe2 Allow an unfortunate man
to remain honest and still support his family The
petitioners who ask for Bankrupt Law, know that
no man can continue honest, and still support his
family, after he has failed in business-unless his Gre
ditors release him, which they very seldom do.
We say again, pass Bankrupt Law to place credit
in its true position, and then enact Bank, and our
country will rapidly return to prosperity.

Of eIpedency, and may assert the contrary doctrine
at any convenient period But IL has been said that
the subject will be brought up troublesome ques-
ton at the State elections Be il But can we not
beat opponents by joining issue this subject
well as any other. Most Of the States will probably
assent TO the branching power, in the outset; we
Bank works WELL all will sooner later come in and
once in, they cannot recede We shall then have a
much stronger institution, because founded on the
consent Of the States. If it operate we'll il will then
be difficult for the demagogues to prevent their States
from coming into the measure voluntarily. Thus
shall we be able to disam opposition.
On the whole, candid people here, are disposed to
acquiesce in the principle of the amendment, with
view to have Bank at all events before the breaking
up of the extra session. Go on then, in pursuit Of
the main object without regard to the opposition of
secret or open enemes-pass Bank Law, that will
receive the sanction Of the Executive and trust to the
future for such notifications and Improvements as
time, experience and enlightened Legislation will
provide. Yours, ever go.

COMMAND OF THE ARMY-GEN. SCOTT
There seems to be no doubt in any quarter-there
has been none indeed, for many years past that Gen
Scott would be instantly assigned the command of the
army, upon the retirement of Gen. Macomb While
General Scott lives other officer in the service
be named for that elevated and responsible station
without signal violence to the interests and welfare of
the army. General Scott has been the master spirit
the presiding genius-of the army during nearly 30
years; and since 1875 certainly, and in the affections
Of the American people, as the ablest military officer
of the republic. When systems of drill and discip-
line and regulations have been required for the army
who but Gen. Scott has ever been thought otto devise
and carry them into effect Although others have
occupied the station and enjoyed the emoumens, as
commander in chief during the period Indicated yet
Gen. s., in military point of view, has been long
garded by common consent, virtually at the head
Of our military establishment. .a"
In personal history the life Of Gen. s. is crowded
with incidents and events which impress his deeds of
valor and patriotism upon the minds Of his countrymen
with depth and fervor that illustrate an example Of
the most brilliant and soul stirring emphasis His
personal characteristics, too are such as fit him adm
rably for the chief command, where he may exert that
influence officially .osensbly (which has been, here
toore the result of his towering fame in giving
gy and tone to the army. He is in many respects,
most extraordinary manhis person shattered but not
disfgured by numerous wounds some Of them severe
enough to have disabled and rendered horsdu combat
any ordinary man-they have served in his chief
" to nerve and stimulate him to further efforts in the
service of his country. With mind always buoyant,
and frame elastic he enters upon the performance of
any duty confded to him with zeal and vigor that
overcomes every obstacle II matters not to him whe-
ther il be in the heats Of summer, or amidst the ice
and SHOWS of an hyperborean winter wherever his du
ty calls-there he may always be found, vindcating
the rights and honor Of his country Moving with al
most electric CELEBRITY he reaches the point aimed at
while many able and younger men are making ready
to start. sHp
Such man, in short, is Winfield Scott, whom the
President without the shadow Of doubt, will imne-
dately nominate TO the Senate for the command Of the
army He is in fact at this moment rghtfully in
mand, by virtue Of his senior breyet commission
Major General in the army, of July 25t 1914.

MR.. CALHOUN--THE SENATOR OF ONE
OPINION

When, few days ago, this Senator, during dis
cussion upon the Bank BILL stated that he had "neve
had but one opinion" there very general laugh
throughout the chamber This was owing to the sim
gular absurdy and droery of such an assertion from
Bank, even with Mr.. Rves' amendment. Very well.
We do not find fault with him for that But he aided
in the establishment ofthe Bank Of 1876 upon which
the bill before the Senate is modelled In 1884, Mr.
Calhoun proclaimed that but for his aid the Bank
never would have been chartered.
On the 4th of February, 1914, Mr.. Calhoun made
motion, in the House Of Representatives, "that the
Committee Of Ways and Means be instructed TO in
quire into the expediency Of establishing National
Bank to be located in the District of Columbia and
asserted in its support that "t could not he doubted
that it within the constitutional power of Con-
gress" .
On the I'd Of April, 1914, Felix Grundy, Of Ten
nessee, moved that committee be appointed to in
quire into the expediency Of National Bank" This
was agreed to, Mr.. John c. Calhoun poting aye!
On the 2sth Of October, same year, resolution was
adopted, declaring it "eKpedient to establish Ma
tona Bank, Nth branches in the several States:-
Ayes SO, noes 81 John C. Calhoun noting aye!
On the 7th of November following, Mr.. J. G. Cal
houn proposed that the capital of the Bank should be
Fifty Millions Of Dollars Mr.. Lowndes moved to
reduce ii to 35 Millions and Mr.. Calhoun voted
against the reduction
The grounds upon which Mr.. Calhoun based his
support Of National Bank, were
"lst. Relief from the immediate pressure on the
Treasury.
3D. A permanent elevation Of the public credit and
Sd. A permanent and safe circulating medium Of
general credit"
