ABBY FoLsoM.-This persevering advocate
of the largest possible liberty, which, according
to her, consists in doing whatever you like,
without regard to other people, has reached her
catastrophe. She has been tried at Boston as
disturber of the peace, and acquitted on the
ground of insanity, whereupon she was sent to
the State Lunatic Asylum at Worcester, as no
body would take charge of her. She refused
to walk, and was therefore carried to the vehi-
Gle which was to convey her to the place of
destination. Abby would not employ coun-
sci, and spoke at length on both days of trial
refusing TO acknowledge the jurisdiction of the
court, reading extracts from the Pilgrims
Progress, and making speech curously CON-
cd Of
legislatures, and other matters of that sort may
now once more assemble at Boston without
being afraid of Mrs. Abigail Folsom and her
speeches.
INDIANA BANKs.--Resumption Of Specie
payments. The Indiana Journal, received this
morning has the following:
RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAYMENT.-The
Board Of Directors of the State Bank of India
ma, at their quarterly session last week, fixed
the fifteenth day of June next for the resump-
ton of specie payment, in all the Branches.
This being the same day named by the Ken
lucky Banks, and the solvent Ohio Banks hav-
ing already resumed, we are cheered with the
prospect of a simultaneous return to the true
basis of all the business interests of the coun-
try and we are grat:fied TO know, that every
confidence is entertained in the ability and
disposition of the Bank of this State, as well
as those Banks in the West that have CON-
menced, or will do so in June, to restore and
maintain permanent resumption.
The Shawnee town Bank of Illinois had |
previously agreed to resume on the 18th of
June. On that day, then, the Banks of all
the States in the Union will pay specie, except |
those of Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama, Mis-
Louisiana and Arkansas. Virginia |
ought TO make a strong effort TO get heeelf
out of this category.
Custom HOUSE REPORTS. The report of the
majority of the commissioners, Messrs Kelley.
and Stewart and a supplementary report from
the last named gentlemen, have at last been
printed by order of Congress. We have ha-
silly looked cover these papers, and notice
that they abundantly vindicate Mr..
Curtis, the Collector of this port, from the
slanderous institutions of Mr. Poindexter's one
sided, truth .distorting and malicious document.
Mr. Poindexter is getting FESTIVE, because
the public, the press, and the debaters in Con-
gress will not believe his report and to rem
edy the evil of universal! unbelief, has presen-
ted sort of petition fol a redress of this grev-
ance to the House of Representatives. His
having been read from the
clerks desk, the House refused to refer it, or
print it, by a very large Majority. We think
his truthful commissioner will interpret this
vote as saying to him, "Bring us no more re-
ports "
The majority of the commissioners give no ,
,ountenancc whatever to the ridiculous pre-. :
encc of Mr.. Poindexter, that the Eastern man.
e. l.,
1erlv with the Custom House of this port, nor '
to his utterly groundess assumption that the
present Collectors, or ever was in any manner ,
committed 10 the maintenance of the manu- :
featuring interest in the discharge of his official
duties. So far as peculiar class of importers
are, understood TO be connected with the OBJ.
lects of the Poindexter report, it is enerally
regarded in this city as time effort and money
thrown away.-N. Y. Commercial.
NAVAL. Extract from a letter dated at :
Singapore, 2Sth January, 1912. The U. S.

CHIMES, Capt. Wilkes, commanding the Ex-
ploriug Expedition, and l schooner. had pre- .
vlously arrived at Manila, and would in few
days sail for this port. All the above ships ale
attached to the Exploring Expedition, and are ,
now on their way to the United States after
an absence of more than three years and
half, during which time they have made many +
surveys of ports frequented by our I
whale ships, &c. besides carrying out to the |
fullest extent all the various objects of the
Expedition, which will be of essential service
to the country at large, and induce the ,
Government to fit out similar expeditions, when
he whole labors of the Expedition are pre-
,ented to the country.
