/ .ipTed specimen Of irrascIble tnuiditv. lie walks
with a ready-for-inauguraliun kind Of gait, and
papably IN every thread he wears, has the tow
of his mental rope walk fastened TO the presden-
tial chair. Mr.. Cnuenden, of Kentucky, whose
able crushing olthis fire work comet, few days
since, was 50 much relishcd by men of all par
ties, Is man of middle stature and plain exie-
nor, but with presence Of thorough honesty and
inevitable penetration. lie is, perhaps, the most
generally respected and esteemed member ofthe
Senate. Mr. Dallas, the Speaker, Ga CT derani
bet homme,) is a man of dignity and ability, but
with his small, regular features, and massy white
hair, he looks like a promoted Anlnous in the
chair and wig of Rhadamanthus. There are
several very elegant men in the Senate. Mr..
Archer and Mr.. Haywood, more particularly,
and there are two or three Of the elder members
who, seated in the House Of Lords, would really
seem picked by nature TO grace the corOnets of
Idukes-Ashley, Of Arkansas, for example, and
Alangum, of Carolina-both men Of great natur-
al aristocracy Of presence.
Mr.. Calhoun is by much the most singular
looking man in the Senate. Great Statesman,
exemplary man, and honest patriot as he is, he
looks, at the first glance, like phrenzied Indian
prophet breathing after Supernatural conflict
lie is tall and Thin. His hair and beard are grey,
wiry and neglected. His sallow complexion
and scanned features are impressed with selfre-
lance, and superiority more lorgetlul than dis.
dainlul of others. He sits in the Senate, like a
Lucilcr,. whose thoughts of rebellion had been
oycr-ruled-pmorfu and spotless, but sill brood
ing and dreaded.
Mr.. Cass is another Of the Senators orwhom
you have lately heard a good deal. lie is Il
large, fine looking man, with the air of one ''born
to authOrty'--a stamp from nature, that has
been recognized in his present prominence, as "A
candidate for the Presidency. Benton, of Mis-
sourl, whose late unexpected accession from the
"Fiity-four lorlics" to the "Fony.nincs," threw
such important weight into the peace party, is Il
sliliencd and ruSe likeness of Louis Philippe.
Houston, late President of Texas, is a powerful

blanket, premontory symbol (some say,) of

is to base his claims to the Presidency. These
are the Senators whose names have been prom-
nent in the late question 50 interesting to Eng
land. Perhaps the news Of the coming debates
may give occasion for mention of others here

The following paragraph in the Unions arti-
Gle ON the resignation of Mr.. Haywood is wor-

was most likely taken on Monday or Tuesday.

Captains of the steamboats, which conveyed them
to New Orleans, for the attentions that were paid
to their comfort and to that Of their men, the ex-

comfortable and their baggage well cared for and

Is Mr.. TOP IN FAVOR OF THE REPEAL OF THE
BLACK LAws!-That is the question to which the
people of Ohio demand an answer just now. Is
he in favor of their repeal as n whole or in partl
Mr.. Bcbb has been charged with having one set
of sentiments for the Reserve and another or none
at all for the southern part of the State. We
have denied it and Mr.. Bebb has boldly and man.
fully denied it by announcing that he would give
his views on the Black laws as well as on other
questions whenever his time would allow him to
do SO. He scorns concealment and double deal
ing and has thus given new evidence of his hon
esty and worth. We have asked those who wish
cd to misrepresent him and his views, those who
venturcd TO intimate that this is one of the sis
sues" before the people, what position Mr. Tod
occupied. We made the inquiry of the Cncin-
matt Advertiser. 1t has taken the leadinauempt-
ing to drag this into the party arena, and we have
dared it 10 an exposition of the views of Mr.. Tod
as due to ''the party" We have demanded an
expression of sentiment. Not word. however,
have we succeeded in drawing from it, as yet, in
reply. What does this mean! Does it not indi-
cate an attempt to deceive the people of Ohio!
Is it not proof conclusive that fraud is meda-
ted on the Locoloco voters of the State! We
aver that is. We shall continue to demand an
exposition of Mr.. Tods views until every man in
the ranks of the opposition shall know that there
is deliberate purpose to conceal the views of
their candidate and thus leave the Locofoco press
in the southern section of the State to denounce
Mr.. Bebb and defend the black laws, while the
press of the same party in the north will de-
nounce the black laws and pledge their candidate
for repeal, as one of thetestsof "demOcracyl'-
The Cincinnati Advertiser has denied our decla-
ration to the contrary and affirmed that the repeal
of the black laws is one of the issues before the
people. After its own admission it cannot escape
a declaration of the views of Mr.. Tod without in.
suting itsown readers and thepeople of theState.
We also asked the Advertisers opinion in re-
gard to the resolutions adopted at Ravenna, Por-
tage county, by Locofoco County Conrention!
1t has not dared to give them publicity, to ven
mre remark; and what is worthy of remark,
instead of noticing this attempt to deceive the
people and conceal Mr.. Tod's views, the Cincin-
matt Herald, the Liberty organ, is engaged in an

DISTRESSING INTELLIGENCE.

We noticed on Saturday the loss of the ship
Gentoo, on her passage from Calcutta to Boston,
by which lady passenger and two children were
drowned. We have since learned that the lady
was Mrs. Watt, formerly of this city, and daugh-
ter of our late and venerable fellow citizen E. S.
Thomas. She was on her return from Calcutta,
for the purpose of educating her children and
was shipwrecked on the Genoo, on the night of
the 29th of April, at Sruys Bay, near the Cape
of Good Hope Three of the crew of the GEN
too were also drowned.-Cincnna6 Gazette.

BANK REFORM.

On the lIthd day of january, 1889, John Brough,
from the committee on Banks, made report to
the Legislature on the subject of ''indlvidual liza
blity." lie there says, "Whcn the demand was
made for reform, the cry leaS raiScd, that those
who called for it, and those who pressed it upon
the State, were for pulling down the banks and
prostrating the whole system. Such an idea aeU-
er, for moment, entered the brain Of any man
rho ddUocated the principle Of RetrmatiOn."
Again he says: "We repeat, the people do not
desire TO destroy the banks" &c.
Now, here is a plain statement of two impor-
tant facts: "The cry was raised" that the Loco
locos were cndeavoring to destroy the banks, and
the Locofocos denied that they wished to do any
such thing. Which party told the ruthl From
the very first step in the progress of bank reform,
the Wings predicted the consequences which fol-
lowed, as accurately as they can now be tod.-
We claim no great sagacity for the Wings on
that account, for those consequences were too
simple and certain, not to have been perceived.
But the hardihood evinced by the Locofocos, in
denying their intention to produce mischief, at
the very time they were applying the match, de-
serves the serious consideration of every voter.
They destroyed the United States Bank, they
encouraged the pet banks to issue ireely,-the
specie circular was sent forth to drain the State
banks Of their capital, they endeavored to force
u resumption of specie payment,-they intcrlor-
ed with constitutional priyilcgcs,-they started
system under which no one would 90 into busi-
ness,-they added restrictions and penalties; for
no other reason than to deter capitalists from ban
king. AT the very commencement of this ''re-
form, and at every step Of its progress" the
Wings ''rased the cry" and kept ii raised, that
their object was to destroy entirely the whole sys-
tenn. The Locolocos replied in the language of
Brough's Report: "The people" Che Locotocos
are always ''tho people'O "scek Reformation,
not Destruction, andsooner or later, itmustbe eX-
tended to them"
Their whole course has been on the quack prin-
cipIe, that "an once of preventative is worth
pound of cure" They found sound constiu-
ton and began dosing it to prevent decay. They
gave an emoliCnt, and caused nausea,-to cure
which, they stimulated and produced fever. To
remove the fever they bled till the patient was
likely to tant,-to prevent which they gave OPT
atcs, and produced cosvencss, for which they
purgcd until the patient was Frustrated. The
quack was dismissed and the patient is recovering
under the prescriptions of he regular physician
and the onraged quack now openly declares that
so peevsh patient, does not deserve to live.
"Who shall decide when doctors disagreel'-
We answer, the voters of Ohio, and they must
decide the question this fall. It's this question:
and the only one, they have before them for deci-
sion at the coming election. Shall banks be tol-
Grated in the State of Ohiol-ZdneSUiHe Whig

ARREST OF MIR GRAHAM.

Mr.. Graham, the proprietor of the Philadelphia
North American, was this afternoon arrested by
the Sergeant-at- Arms of the Senate, and started
for Washington in the evening train. The
cause of his arrest is understood to be the pubIi-
cation Of the Oregon treaty and accompanying
documents, which is supposed to have been pur.
loned by some one from the Senate chamber.
or else furnished him for publication by some
member of the Senate.

LATER FROM TIE ARMY.

The steamship James l.. Day, Capt Griffin
arrived Al New Orleans ON the evening of tho
18th July, from Brazos Santiago, having saiIel
hence on Wednesday the 18Th. The news i.
-four days later, and of some Interest," especially
so is the announcement that depulalion from
the British Navy arrived at Fort Polk upon busi
ness with Gen. Taylor, calculated to excite Gu,
rosily and speculation.
The troops were being sent forward as fast as
the means of transportation and the high waters
would allow. The Louisiana Volunteers were
being concentrated dabove Matamoras. The Wash
ington and Col. Dakin's Regiments were a shor
distance above that place. The Andrew Jack.
son Regiment left for Roynosa on the 9th, and
Col. Davis movedup the river on the 10Th July.
The Tennessee Regiment relieved Davis COM
mand at the liurlla.
The weather, together with the inactivity OF
the troops, has caused considerable sickness a.
mongthem. learn there are several hundred in
hospital at Matamoras, and the mcascls has bro
ken out in one of the camps.
"Curiosty runs high" to know the object of
visit of two British naval officers to General
Taylor, who arrived here in a vessel of war from
Tampico. Communication being cut off, they
sent their dispatches by mail to their Consul
at MatamorOs, to be laid by him before the
Consul General. Nous rerrOnS.
Report says General Paredcs has sent pro.
clamaton 10 the people of Matamoras, calling
upon them to treat our regulars with every kind
ness and consideration, because of the wRparal-
keled kindness and attention to his wounded, as
we'll as prisoners and citizens. lie takes occa-
sion TO score the Texans, &c. If this be true it
argues more favorably than otherwise.

GENERAL: Gen. Taylor's main object has now
for some time been TO throw up supplies on Ca
margo, with a view to ulterior operations. Thus
far our department has not been able to effect this
object; but every eXcrtion is making which cir
cumslances admit. The river is high and has
water enough; but it is so rapidatitspresent stage
as to be stemmed with difficulty, particularly by
the small boats, which are weak in power. Be-
sides, the transportation of volunteers overrides
everything. | descend the river tomorrow to
urge matters, which have been much embarass-
ed by the frequent changes as themode of trans
porngsupplies that have necessarily taken place.
The road between Point Isabel and Fort Brown
has now, for many days, been impossible for load

route via the Grande are just in operation on and
around Brazos Island. Coal and wood arc both
