CoNcEnr.-NVc had the pleasure last
evening Of attending the Concert Of the
Justly celebrated Cambrian infant min
strels, the Masters Hughes, accompa-
MED by Mrs. Franklin, lady of dis
tinguishcd celebrity, as vocalist. 1t
is impossible to give to any one, who
has never listened to these juvenile
performers, any adequate conception of
their astonishing musica genius. Time
nor space will not now permit US even
to attempt description. Suffice to
say-the house, last evening, was well
filled, and the audience most highly
delighted.
Tonight will be their last Concert,
as it will be noticed they are engaged
in Fall River and New Bedford. A
crowded house will most assuredly
welcome them this evening, at Armory
Hall.

The Doc Law Of this town, went in
to effect yesterday, and we understand
tho war was duly commenced, and that
several dogs were killed. A person at
our elbow informs US, that ore or two
were shot, in the compact part Of the
town, not far from his residence. The
Ordinances Of the Council do not point
out any particular mode of killing the
dogs, consequently many will no doubt
think they are fully authorised to shoot
them, notwithstanding there is an ex-
press law against firing guns any where
within the compact part of the town.
Would it not be WELL therefore, for
those persons who mean to execute the
dog law, to ascertain before they resort
to shooting, whether it will be safe TO
violate the law which prohibits firing
guns in the streets, even though they
do so in order to execute the provisions
of tho said law in relation to dogs
The dog law referred to is pronounce
ed by some to be unnecessarily arbitra-
ry and dcspotic. However arbitrary OF
despotic it may be considered, or may
be in fact, we are not, nor should any
one be, disposed TO find fault With the
Council in regard to it. Those who at
tended the town meeting, at which the
Council were requested or instructed to
pass an effectunl dog law, know very
well that many Of our most respectable
citizens were for enacting much more
rigid law than the Council have passed.
II We havo seldom seen more determin-
I'd disposition evinced, OH the part o
The lreemen generally, to carry out 'hei'
views, on any question, than was exhi
bitcd on this at that meeting. This be
Il ing the fact, is it not therefore to b'
supposed that the law piH be strictly
enforced, arbitrary or despotic as il ma,
be deemed to be by individuals win

We have published the Governors pro.

motive is supposed to be belief mar
Lett has been active in some of the Do'th-

such attempt from Canada was absurd.

Gentlemen: Lest any msapprehension should

Ter from the course pursued by my late colleagues
wish to say that i remain in my place, first be-
cause have seen no sufficient reasons for the dis
solution of the late Cabinet, by the voluntary act
OF It's own members.

sity OF an institution, under the authority Of Con-

to give the country the blessings Of good cur
rency and cheap exchanges.
notwithstanding what has passed, have con-
tdence that the President will cooperate with the

attainment of these objects and it is to the u
Mon of the Wing pariy-by which mean the

TREASVRY /

Treasury DEPARTMENT., Sept ! 1, 1871.
Sir: After the most cain and careful conside-
ration, and viewing the snbjec, in all the aspects
in which it presents itself TO my mind, ] have
come to the conclusion that ought no longer to
remain member Of your Cabinet. | therefore
resign the Office of Secretary of the Treasury,
and beg you TO accept this as my letter of resig-
nation.
To avoid misunderstanding, distinctly declare
that do not consider difference of opinion as
to the charter of National Bank sufficient
reason for dissovng the ties which have existed
between us. Though look upon that measure
as one OF vast Importance to the prosperity Of the
county, and though should have deeply depor-
ed your inability or unwilingness 10 accord it to
the wishes of the People and the States, so une-
quivocally expressed through their representa-
lives, still, upon this, and this alone, unconnect-
ed with other controlling circumstances, should
not have felt bound TO resign the place which
hold in your Administration. But those control
ling circumstances do exist, and | will, in my
own justification, place them in conueXion before
you.
1t is but just to you to say that the bill which
first passed the two Houses of Congress, and
which was returned with your objections on the
10th of August, did never, in its progress, as far
as know or believe, receive at any time either
your express or implied assent. So far as that
Dill was known TO me, or as L was consulted up
on it, endeavored to bring its provisions as near
W as possible In accordance with what under
stood to be your views, and rather hoped than er-
Pscfed your approval. ] knew the extentto which
you were committed OF the question. | knew
the pertinacity with which you adhered to your
expressed opinions, and ] dreaded from the first
the most disastrous consequences, when the pro.
Ject Of compromise which presented at an early
day was rejected.
1t ia equally matter Of justice TO you and 10
inysel. TO say that the bill which / reported to
the two Houses OF Congress at the commence
ment OF the session. in obedience TO their call
was modified so as TO meet your appreciation
on may not, is true, have read the bill through
out, and examined every part Of il; but the 10th
iunda mental article which became the contested
question of principle, was freely discussed be-
tween us, and ii was understood g. unequivocally
sanctioned by yourself. The last clause in tie
bill, also, which contained reservation Of pow
or in Congress, was inserted on the 9th Of June,
in your presence, and with your appreciation
| though you at one time told me that, in giving
| your sanction to the bill, you would accompany
! it with an explanation of your understanding o.
J that first clause.

THE LETTERS OF RESIGN


The following Letters of the Secretary OF
the Treasury and the Attorney General re-
signing their respective trusts, have been pla-
ced in our hands for publication IN At. INT.
WASHINGTON, Sept. IL, 1911.
Sir: Circumstances have ocurred in the
course of your Administration, and chiefly in the
exercise by you of the veto power, which con-
strain me to believe that my longer continuance
in Office as member of your Cabinet will be
neither agreeable to you, useful to the country,
nor honorable to myself.
Do me the justice, Mr.. President, to believe
that this conclusion has been adopted neither ca
priciously, nor in any spirit of party feeling or
personal hostility, but from sense of Duty
which, mistaken though it may be, is yet so sim
cerely entertained, that cheerfully sacrifice to it
the advantages and distinctions of office.
BE pleased, therefore, to accept ,his as my re
sgnatlon of the Office of Attorney General of the
United States.
Very respectfully, yours, &c.

*Mr. Rivgs' version of the Hanover speech
seems to be abundantly sustained by the follow
ing extracts from it:
whether these ends,' said Mr.. Clay, "indis-
peDsabe to the well being both of the People
and the Government, to be attained by sound
and safe State Banks, carefully selected and pro-
States, with such limitations, conditions, and re-
strictions as have been indicated by experience,
should be left TO the arbitrauent of enlightened
public opinion"
And again, he says: cit is to secure certain
objects, without which society cannot prosper /;
and if, contrary to my apprehensions, these OBJ
jects can be accomplished by dispensing with the
agency Of Bank of the United States and en-
poying that Of State Banks, all ought to rejoice
and heartily acquicsce, and none would more
than shoud.'
