ed by awkwardness and incorrectness: nor
are his remarks at all profound or philosoph-
lcal. But his style of writing is easy, flow
ing, and not unploasing he tells his story as
II he were narrating it at the firc-side, and
this is just the style for writer of travels
The subject of his first book, too, was such
as to ensure it a favorable reception. 1t
treats of the names with which all ears we're
familiar. Another reason of its success may
DC found in the visit of ]. S. Buckingham to
this country, who was at the time of the an
pearance of the work at the heipht of his
s'ory III TINS city. He drew tremendous
crowds by his lectures, and took occasion to
speak in high terms of Mr.. Stephens book
which of course led all his hearers to Inv and
read it. From that small volume alone Mr..
Stephens cleared some $4,000. His latest
work--the one just published, will undoubt-
eddy put into his pockets at least $4,000
more. Who says that the pursuit of liera-
ture is not thriving profession! And yet
another man of ten times the ability and
scholarship to which Mr.. Stephens makes
pretence, might spend years in writing book
upon subjects of infinitely greater impor-
lance to the world than this, and not sell a
dozen copies The cngravngs for this work
have been prepared from drawings by Mr..
Cathcrwood, of panoramic celebrity.

TWENTY-SEVENTH CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON, June %. 1874


In Senate, Mr.. Wright presented memorials
from New York city for Bankrupt Law also,
from New York and Utica, demonstrating against
it.
The bill to revive the charters of the Banks
ufthe District of Columbia, was taken up for a
third reading. Qt was enormously stated yes
terday that it passed.)
Mr.. Morehead moved to re.comlnit the bill,
with instructions to strike out the amendment
yesterday adopted, prohibiting the Banks from
receiving or paying out the paper Of suspended
Banks. This was debated at some length, and
the bill re-committed.
Mr.. Clay's bill to charter the Fiscal Bank of
the United States was reached at a late hour,
but no action was taken, and the senate adjour-
ned
Thus it will claim attention Tomorrow, and
no doubt from the interesting theme of debate
for some time. lfthe Senate agree and pass a
bill for bank, it must of necessity be discussed
for long time before it will receive the con-
Currence OF the liouse-a body where prompt
and speedy action is impossible The repeal
of the Sub-Treasury will be attended with q
long debate, preliminary to the establishment O
another fiscal agent on its ruins.
The House have to-day been occupied in tn,
reception of resolutions, many of which,, bein.
resolutions of inquiry and giving rise to debate
were laid over.
On motion of Mr.. Adams, so much of tn
Presidents Message as relates to the Foreig
Slave Trade was referred to the Committee 0
Foreign Affairs, "wlth instructions to repo
such measures as the highest considerations
public honor and the strongest promptings
humanity require, for the suppression Of tn
trade"
Mr.. Floyd offered a resolution which W;
laid over one day. requesting the President
communicate to the House whether any oflic,
ofthe Army since the 9th March last, had bee
directed TO visit New York, for any purpose co
nected with the Imprisonment or trial of Ale
ander MLeod and if so, for copies of instru
ton to, and report from such officers.
Mr.. Randolph some days since presented i
memorial OF citizen of New-Jersey on I
manufacture OF iron, and the operation of I
Tariff on that interest, and moved to present

Correspondence Of the Albany Argus.
FROM LOCKPORT-hIcLEOD.
LocKPoRT March, 2G

LUChfURT uaIcn, x.
The March term ofsthe Court of Oyer
aud Terminer for the county should have
been held this week, commencing this
morning. On the opening of the Court,
Judge Dayton directed The Clerk not to
call the Jury, deciding at the same time
not hold the Court in consequence OF
an informality, or rather a material error
of the Clerk, in giving but five instead Of
six days notice Of the drawing Of the Jury
foruthc term.
Mcleod was arraigned, ,and pleaded not
guilty 10 the indictment, against him
His counsel, Messrs. Gardner and Brad
ley, then moved the Court for two COM
missions to issue-one for the examina-
lion of Mr.. Webster, Secretary of State,
and Mr.. Fox, the British Minister at
Washiugton-1he other to examine M'Nab
aud others, in Upper Canada. This was
granted, with the condition that the peo-
pie might join in the commission.
An application was then made to the
Circuit Jud se TO allow cerliorari TO re-
move the cause from the Oyer and Ter
miner 10 the Supreme Court on an affida-
Wit setting forth some Of the circumstances
Of the offence charged 10 have been com.
mitted, and that difficult and complicated
question of law would arise on The trial.
The counsel urged ,ha, at the Oyer and
Terminer, the presiding Judge might he
overruled by the county Judges, and that
it was proper in this case, for that reason,
that this cause should be tried in the Cir.
cult Court rather than in the Oyer and
Terminer.
The Circuit Judge declined allowing
the certorari upon that ground, as there
was no allegation of improper bias, on the
part Of The county Judges, and our statute
has provided the means Of correcting any
error in the proceeding Of the Oyer and
Tcrmiuer, by bill Of exceptions.
The counsel asked for time to add an
afidavid in relation 10 the excitement,
which had existed in the county upon the
subject, and the reasons why it was be-
lieved fair trial could not be had. This
was granted, and The Court adjourned
over to the afternoon, TO give an opporlu-
nifty to serve the writ if allowed.
During the intermission the afIidavits
were prepared. the certiorari allowed, and
served on the Court on their going in, in
the afternoon. This gives McLeod's coun-
sci an opportunity TO move the Supreme
Court to change the venue 10 some other
county. Yours, &c.
