THE MISSISSIPPI U. $. SENATOR

Mr.. Walker, the Secretary of the Treasury,
has replied in a communication published in the
Mississippi papers, to The charge brought agains,
him of having withheld from Mr.. Thompson the
commission Of the Governor appointing him U. S.
Senator, in place of Mt. Walker, resigned, when
made Secretary of the Treasury.
MIR. w. admits tina; the commission was sent
to him, and that he did withhold it from Mr..
Thompson. lie attempts to excuse himself for
doing this by saying that he had urged the Co
vernon to make an appointment of Senator in
his place, because the vote Of the Senator to be
appointed, "might. and in all probability would
be necessary" to give the Loco Focos a majority
in the Senate on the election Of printer for the
next two years. The Governor in reply, trans.
United to MIR. Walker a commission as Senator
Tor Mr.. Thompson, (then member of the House
from mississippi to take effect after the 10th of
March. MIR. w. received this commission on the
9th OF March; but he then, as he says, having
ascertained that the election for printer would not
come on, as he had supposed, decided that he
would not deliver the commission to MIR. T., and
nerer said ,cord TO him about IL! He says that
as the commission was transmitted TO him (Mr
W. he regarded himself as the confidential agent
OF the Governor, and as the contingency of the
election of printer did not occur, he assumed
that 1t was only for this purpose the Governor
had issued it, and therefore did not even confer
with MIR. L. on the subject!
This is an affair for the Mississippi Locofocos; ;
but If they are satisfied with Mr.. WIS explana-
ton' 'hey are, we should say, easily reconciled to
a very high-handed assumption of power, which
almost amounts to an outrage: and if Mr.. Thomp-
son shall cease his censures of the extraordinary
conduct of MIR. W., he deserves the personal in.
dignity with which he was treated, by not even
being consulted in the matter.

DEAF AND DUMB SCHOOL.

Notwithstanding the publicity given to the fact
by the Literary Board, it is not so generally
known, as it should be, that there is nOw in sue
cesstul operaon in this city, school for the i'm
struction of Deaf and Dumb persons. 1t was
commenced on the first of Nav, and there are,
already, fifteen Pupils--eghI girls and seven
boys We had the pleasure of being present at
the school on Tuesday afternoon, when an exhi-
bition took place before the Governor, the Judges
OF the Supreme Court, the Literary Board, the
numerous strangers in the city, and others, show
ing the progress made by the pupils in the short
time they have had the benefits OF instruction.
"Seeing is believing" or otherwise, so incredible
is the progress they have made, no one would
credit it. We have always heard that the Deaf
Mute, when placed under proper instruction,
learns with astonishing facility, but the progress
in writing and knowledge of things, and the de-
yelopment of intellect witnessed on this OCCASION
was most wonderful, and as gratifying as Won
derful. Two months ago, these afflicted children
knew nothing. The Alphabet even, was sealed
book to them. They had idea of God, or
Heaven, OF the Immortality of the soul, nor OF
future state of existence. Now they can inter-
pref any thing by signs, spell any word or simple
sentence, and write it on their states, some of
them beautifully, too. Several of them related
In the sign language interesting stories, Mr..
COOKE, the Principal, interpreting them as they
proceeded. Now, too, they all seem to have lust
conceptions of a Supreme Being, and their APP
Pearance OF devotion in Prayer, breathes an elo-
quence greater than tongue can impart.
No one can witness the Exercises of the School,
without feeling convinced of the wisdom and hu-
nanity of our last Legislature in devisng means
for the establishment of such an institution with
In the limits of our State, and of the duty of an
intelligent and humane people, specially to re-
gard, and literally to sustain it.
The Literary Board has been very fortunate,
we think, in securing the services of such Prin-
cipala as MIR. CooKE-a gentleman every way quail
fled for the duties of his responsible station.

ONE DAY LATER FROM ENGLAND.

The Great Western steamship, Capt. Mat
thews, arrived at New York on Monday morning
from Liverpool, whence she departed on the 5.R
instant, thus bringing London papers one day
later than those received by the Hibernia.-They
add very little to the previous advices. The de-
bate on the motion for previous reading of the
Maynooth Grant Bill, closed in the House of
Commons on the evening of the 4th, by major
ity of l57 in its favor; thus giving to the minis
try another decisive triumph and leaving no
doubts as to the final passage of the bill The
steamship Great Britain had arrived at Liverpool
preparatory to her voyage across the Atlantic. A
great number of gentlemen were on board, all
well pleased with the qualities of the Mastodot
ship.
Distressing intelligence was received from Ire.
land few hours before the departure of the
Great Western. At fair held in the yicnity of
Cork some dispute arose between the peasaniry
and the police, when the latter leavelled their
weapons, and deliberately shot eight of the peo-

ABUSES AT WASHINGTON.

The reader will remember that last winter Sc
veral members of the Senate, whose terms ex.
/ pred on the Sd of March, but who were re-elect.
ed for the ensuing term, received constructive
mileage for suppositious travelling home and
back between the hour of 2 A. M. on the 4.l
March, and the hour of re-assembling at 10 NJ
on the same day This was done under deci.
sion of Vice President Dallas.
The correspondent of the New York Tribune
discloses another abuse which he thinks, if no,
checked in the bud, will grow to a fearful mag.
ni'udo. In document 81, p. GO, which is the &C.
count of the disbursement of the contingent fund
oil the House OF Representatives is the follow.

Now, ii must be remembered that MIR. Clifrord,s
term of service expired on the Sd March, and We,
here he is paid 50 per day for II days subsequen,

in this city aftr tile expiration of his term on the

John F. Wall, esq, one of the members cleo,
of the Virginia Legislature from Frederick, was
near being killed few days ago on the Win
chester RAILROAD, by what is technically called
a snahe-head. One of the rails, which had be-
come loose at the end, was caught by the wheel
and shot up through the car at the seat where
MIR. Wall was sitting, severely decorating his
hand, cutting his breast. and pnning him to the
top Of the car. Fortunately Physician was
present who attended to Mr.. Wallis wounds, ard
he is said to be doing well. Mr.. John S. Gala
her, the Senator from the same district, was Sit
ting beside Mr.. Wall at the time of the accident.
This is said TO have been the>f first accident of
the kind which has ever happened on the road,
and the Charlestown Free Press states that the
President of the Company has caused still thick
er pieces of iron to be placed on the bottom of
the car, SO as 10 render the recurrence of it al
most impossible.

ANOTHER LETTER FROM GEN. JACKSON TO

was unable by all his exertons to remove the
Nenerals old grudge against him, or to pain his
good opinion. Mr.. Lewis has other letters be.
hind, which he holds back as thunder bottled. To
annihilate Polk and Richie at the proper fine.
In Jackson's letters to Lewis, we cannot bA adj

towards those who once offended him.-Nlajor

II is the poor-those least able to bear public
burdens-who consume the greatest quantity OF
articles of the first necessity, there being for them
other substitute; how exceeding cruel, then
the enormous duties upon articles of indispensa.
BILE use all over the world.
The foregoing paragraph is quoted by the Phi.
ladelphia U. S. Gazette, the editor of which
having recently made visit to the New England
States, accompanies it with the following PRAc-
TIcAL reply:
The above is paragraph from the United
States Journal, and is part of an attack upon a
protective tariff. We copy it, in order to Illus
irato its truth. We, few days since, heard
some families in New England complaining Bit
terly of their inability to thelp'-meaning do
nestle servants. We inquired the cause.
'The girls are all drawn away to the factories.
But why do you not detain them?'
I'VE cannot afford to pay as much as they can
earn at the factories; besides, they have hours OF
leisure, rest, and improvement there. And it is
stated in the report Of the Savings Bank at Low
ell, that the amount deposited by female opera
tives in that institution, is equal to twelve hun
dred and fifty dollars for every factory girl in that
city; and that is not all, factory girls rank with
other Independent people. They are not consid-
cred servants
All, thought we, how cruel it is to afflict the
poor and make them bear such burihens. And
what is an additional grievance, these very fe-
males NOW clothe themselves at half the price
they could effect that important branch Of econo-
my, before they multiplied the fabrics of the
country, and thus reduced the price. How ex-
ceedingy cruel
We stopped few moments on the narrow side
walk of Milk street, in Boston, unable TO move
either way, excepting directly into very muddy
street, our course being hedged in by long truck
"a dray,) on each side, heavily laden each with
twenty-four bales of goods. you get job then
occasionally said we to the trnckman.
Hardly get time to eat said he, there is such
continual movement of goods
We'll, these would be good times for you, if
you could live as cheap your fathers did, when
goods could be imported nearly free of duties
1--WE pay now one dollar woek less for board
than was paid twenty years ago, and clothing
does not cost half as much, while the manufac-
turing of goods in this neighborhood gives US
twice the employment that was had in other
times
"A truckman now may not earn much more than
he did thirty years ago, but he can SAVE twice as
much'
Oh the poor,, 'How exceedingly cruel 80
We looked around that busy hive. The ma
con was plying his trowel, and the painter his
brush; the carpenter showed his forepane. and
the shoemaker drew his thread with constant in
dustry, with the inspiring knowledge that his ser
vices were in demand. Did they suffer from
enormous duties on sugar or clothing! Their

like suffering. Poor men, what cruel tImea

Correspondence Of the New York Express.
WASHINGTON. July Is. 1874

The President is very much worn down with
business, and informed me, yesterday, that his
health is such that he shall be obliged to retire
for while from Washington, probably to Old
Point Comfort. He is overwhelmed with appli-
cations for Office. The papers sen! to him daily
are so numerous and voluminous, from Office
seekers, that if he were to employ his whole
time In reading them, he could not get through
with more than one-tenth ;FaDd one day this week
there were so many sent in, that it would take
seven days to examine them without reading.
They are referred to the Departments.
The White House, as far as the appropriations
would admit, has been very tastefully furnished,
under the direction OF Mr.. Meeks, of your city.
Much of the old furniture remains. 1t has, how
ever, been newly covered, so as to make it APP
pear decent.

SO, his arrangements with the banks for the safe
keeping of the public funds. The Deposite
Banks have given security by pledge of United

have on hand belonging to the Government. The
securities are, as far may be, adapted 10 the To-
caIiries Of the places of Opposite Thus in Ohio,
the stock Of that State will be accepted, and in

JENNINGS Gap ROAD.

We passed for the first time a few days .ao
over the new road to Jennings Gap, made by
the entsrprsing citizens along the way, and found
it to be Of excellent grade and well constructed.
The location of the road has been changed ex.
tensivoly, and there is only small portion of il
which is at all Objectionable, and that, we under.
stand, it is designed to remedy as soon as the
privilege can be secured from the person through
whose land it passos.-The public spirited cit.
liens who have accomplished so much with their
own means certainly deserve great credit, and
we sincerely hope they may BIO rewarded by a
liberal return of the travel to this ancient tho.
roughlare.
BY the way, if any of our fellow-citizens would
like to spend few days very pleasantly in the
country, We would advise them to take trip ID
friend HEIsKELL's, at the Lebanon White Sui
phur Springs. What with an abundance of ven.
ison, fine sulphur water, cool mountain air, and
the excellent company they will always find
there, in the family circle il not in crowd, their
sojourn, we are sure, cannot be otherwise than
pleasant and agreeable.
