Return Of Hosea J. Leris.-For som"
days past il has been r'rmorcd that m alii-
davi, from thi, indiyidual was IN this city.
in which il i said he duplicates hc ofIirers
Of The Schuylkiil Bank in the ncfnrinu,
aud Fraudulent transactions ON the Bnnk of
keniucky-at least. that he charges item
with full knowledge of his lnrgcries, and
that they knew The proceeds u! The lrauriu
lrnl certificates were appropriated 10 The
Schuylkill Bnuk. These rumors ", dis.
carded, because we could see no "hjccl for
such an affidavit here. The following
paragraph from the Evening Journal. if
True. does show some cause i"r The vrrlfi
cation uf some such accusaiiun rs have
heen runorcd. Without satisfying the
Governor and the Attorney General that
he could give Others, guilty Us himself, up
to Justice. he could not obtain promise Of
protection for his own person. aud with
OUT such protection for hisuwu person. he
would hardly be likely 10 venture within
the grasp Of the law. If then. Lewis is in
town. Il is probable he has made an atti
davii. ard il II affords him protection, It
uOuUNichs COutuiHS dH tHr stIiOuS dS'uNd-
tinus that rumor has attached TO il. This
is the Journals paragraph:
1--WE understand, from IN unGueslionn-
bic snnrce, that Mr.. Lewis. late Cashier Of
the Schuy!kill Bank, is now in the city,
under the plenary protection Of the Cover
nor aud Attorney General. Important dis
closures may he looked for. in relation 10
the disposition Of the funds procured by
the spurious issue II the stock of the Bank
of Kentucky, as well as the parties who
we're privy TO tha, forgery, aud who have
heretofore slnod masked before the world
as pious, moral, aud exemplary citizens
We hope no concealmeui will cow lee
made of The real actnrs ia this disastrous
fraud: and that if Mr.. Lewis has becu
tempted from the path OF honor and recI-
iGde by evil councillors. who have them
selves exclusively pr"fued by the fraud,
thni he will virdica,e the cause of public
Justice and pure morals, hy a full revela-
