IUpon MISREPRESENTATION of a. memorial from
an insurance company In New, Orleans pray
ing indemnity from the Government, for loss
by insurance of certain slaves on the Hermosa,
which was wrecked and the slaves taken by a
British officer to Nassau and liberated, brief
but animated discussion arose in the Senate on
ourreations with Great Britain. Mr.. Calhoun,
Mr.. King, Mr.. Rives and Mr.. Preston took
part in the debate. The strongest feeling of
condemnation was expressed against the re-
peated violations of our rights by the British
Government, but a!sgeneral hope and belief
seemed to prevail that the New British Min
istry would pursue sucha course as TO preserve
the amicable relations, which exist between
the countries and which are so important to the
interests of each.

REPUTATION.

This word which originally signifed
''to divorce" is now becoming a word
of very common use, with somewhat
different Specification. In the vocabu-
larry Of Mississippi it signifies the viola
ton of public faith. Governor McNutt
OF that State, democrat Of the first
water, has the honor of making it ia
miliar to our ears. When he found
the State was unable TO pay the large
debt it has contracted, instead Of ack-
nowledging the inability, and takingthe
benefit of the act. "he proposed to dis
own the public debt, and repudiafe the
bonds, and this violation of public
faith, strange to tell, has found favor
with majority of the citizens of that
State, which boasts so much of south
ern chiyalry and honor. Should the
Legislature Of the State carry out this
nefarious project, and positively refuse
to discharge Der bonds, her example
may be pleaded in other States, and
State credit be entirely destroyed -
Such is the influence of example, that
symptoms of a similar course are obser-
yable in other States, Michigan for ex-
ample, where one Of the leading loco
foco presses, openly gives its adhesion
to the principle of Reputation. The
corrupting influence of such doctrines
will be felt among the people; as the
people generally reflect the character .

vale debts will be considered no viola.

From the Nat. Intellgencer.

The ANNUAL TREASURY
REPORT, was, as we expected, sent
to both Houses ofCongress yesterday.
1t passed so rapidly into the hands of
the printers to Congress, that we had
only time to cast a transient glance over
it, with view to its pr eminent points.
The state of the Treasury is of
course The same as it was represented
to be in the Presidents Message to
Congress-; that is'tnl-s, there will be an
estimated deficiency in the Treasury
on the 1st of January next, requiring
immediate provision to meet it,of 1927,
$50; which deficiency is caused oy the
failure to obtain the necessary amount
ofthe Twelve Million Loan, in couse-
queace of the shortness of the time
which it had to run. Mr.. Secretary
EWING the reader may recollect, when
he asked for the loan TO relieve the
Treasury from membranes left by
tie late Administration, recommended
that it should be authorized for term
of eight years; but, in passing the Loan
bill, Congress limited the loan TO three
years, too short term to invite invest
ment or funds in it by capitalists
This deficiency the Secretary recon-
mends shall be provided for by imme-
date authority being granted to issue
Treasury Notes to the requredtamount
For the next year (lS42) the Reces-
pas into the Treasury Excluding the
proceeds of sales of public Lands) are
estimated at SIS, 200, 00O-froln. which
is to be deducted 1927 $50 the esti-
/ mated deficiency at the end Of the
present year. The Expenditures for
the yelr, including the amount neces-
sary to redeem seven millions of OUT
standing Treasury Notes, are estima
ted at $50, 1,O1O; leaving to be pro-
vided for, on account Of the estimated
sum of $14,218,57O.
To meet this deficiency in the rev.
enue for 1912, the Secretary RECON-
mends to Congress to authorize an ex-
tension of the term or the portion OF the
Twelve Million Loan not yet taken,
and a reissue Of the Treasury Notes
heretofore authorized by law, amoun-
ting to five millions of dollars: the
balance of the deficit in the ways
and means together with two millions
of dollars,(a surplus deemed necessary
to be in the Treasury to meet emer-
gencies in the public service,) to be
supplied from imposts upon such for
eign articles imported into the Unitee
States "as may be selected with due
regard to rigid restriction, in amour
to the actual wants of the Government
and proper economy in its administf
tion."
This is the outline of the Budget
as it is very plainly and clEarly state'
in the Secretary's Report
The Report goes into anargumen
upon the principles which ought Il
govern the adjustment Of the Tariff i
4 the wants ofthe Government; of which
as our readers will soon have it befon
them entire, we shall not attempt an alb
Z hreviation.

a number of tbeWashington conespondents.of

may, by comparing their different views, form
their own opinions of the progress of things at

liability that the Presidents suggestions in re-
gard TO the exchequer plan may possibly be
adopted as the best that can be obtained under
the circumstances, although no party except
the corporaPs guard cordially approves of it;
the Bentonian Loco Focos furiously denounce
it, and the Wings have given no decided midi
cations as to what course they will pursue.

NAVAL.

Our friend and neighbor Capt. William F.
Shields of the U. S. Navy has been appointed
to the command of the Naval Rendezvous,
which has lately been established at New
Orleans. Although we are gratifed that the
Captain has been ordered to a station so agree
able to his wishes and convenient to his inter-
ests, when we recur to the many pleasant pic
MICS which we have enjoyed with him on the
banks Of the Buttehatchee, and to the sumpti-
Gus entertainments, ofwhich we have partaken
at his ho:pitable lodge, in noticing his contem-
Plated departure from our neighberhood we can
not do less than express our regret at the loss
of his society.

We copy from the Picayune full account
ofthe capture ofthe Santa Fe expedition. Our
former townsman DIR. G. w. Bonne was o
the party. There seems to be every probabil-i
ny that poor Kendall (of the Picay une,) whose
inimitable humor has been enjoyed by almost
every one, has fallen a victim to the savage
cruelty Ofthe dastardly Mexicans. We sin
ccrily hope that some efTectual means viii be
devils d 10 prevent the contamination Of their
barbarous towards their unfortunate
captives. For such a spirit as Kendall to be
butohered by cowordy savages or, immured
in their mines, shut up from the light ofheaven
and cut of from all social intercourse, to be
compelled 10 delye in tie bowels Of the earth
under the lash Of tyranicala land unieeling slave
is a fate too dreadful to contemplated.

ally feel some curiosity to know how he will

THE BANKRUPT Law.

Notice wos given yesterday by Mr..
IloPKINs, in the House Of Representatives
of an intention TO move for leave to intro
duce a bill to repeal the Act passed at the
last session of Congress for establishing a
uniform System of Bankruptcy. Should
the leave be granted, the Public must not
therefore infer that there is any danger of
that beneticient act being repealed. Leave
to introduce bill is, when asked, generally
granted as a matter of course.

"Why the private dancing parties in and around
Columbus resembled packages OF gloves! Give

those that can be npatched.'
The exclusion of married persons from
participation in the enjoyments ofprirate dam
cling parties is practice we believe peculiar
to this society, atleast it does not prevail in
the polite circles of cities where we have visi-
ted. The pleasure of such assemblies is in our
opinion greatly increased by the variety ofper-
sons present,and, whilst beauty and accomplish
ments are always attractive, the tame bread
and butter simplicity of young girl is often
relieved by the racy sprightliness of a married
lady.
