The Loan, and Free Trade.

The moneyed world have just paid high compliment
TO the ariif-a compliment not expressed IN words
but by that far eloquent The proposals OF
the for loan OF eighteen millions have been
met with alacrity which could only be owing TO a
conviction that the present revenue laws are destined TO
dsappont the predictions of the friends OF the protective
system and 10 be far productive than the old rates
OF duty When capitalist ventures his money, ne acts
from the sincerity of his heart large proportion OF the
offers to take the loan from members OF the wing
party, who must have been perfectly satisfied that the
commerce of the country would be highly prosperous UNI
der the tariff, and its public income large enough TO
provide for the easy repayment of all the expenses OF the
war
So general is this conviction, that the feeling which
among the proposers for the loan whose

TO catch our eye:

the papers including those of Washington CITY, that the
Supreme Court of the United States had decided IN iaVo

also said that the clerk OF the court reply 10 letter OF IN

had been given. ,
''There must be mistake somewhere. How is IT u
Mr. Carroll, the oblging clerk of the Supreme Court,
has enabled us to clear up the matter.
In the first place, he has written such letter, TOR
there has been decision given.
In the second place, Mr. Clayton could scarcely have
given any such information. The question has been
twice argued before the Supreme Court, has excited
much attention, and Mr.. Clayton must have heard OF
the decision.
In the third place. have come up from the States
of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island,
where license laws have passed the legislature and the
Supreme Court in each State has confirmed Their consF
utonalty The Supreme Court OF the United States have
decided the question their last term; every Judge upon
the bench pronounced his opinion in the case and with
the exception of point taken by Judge Danei' ana
which did affect the general decision, the court was
unanimous in its opinion, in favor OF the constltuuonaiy

Relrauenment, sc.

In publishing the annual statement OF appropriate
by Congress- prepared by the Clerk OF the House OF
resentatives in our paper OF the 18th instant, mi,
have appended note, calculated to explain the
two items in the statement. We allude to the ann
priation of $500 for clerk hire in the Indian Burg
which appears in the statement il the ordinary anou
for this service had been increased that sum; while
fact is that the expenses OF that Office have been euc
$7o0-n this way: In accordance with the suggesto
contained in the report OF the Commissioner OF 3Oth
cember last, to be found in House document No 10
last session. the force OF that bureau has been reduced
clerk, whose salary has been 81, 900; and the
ties of the desk have been divided among the O..
clerks, and hence the addition of 500 to the salary

that officer upon the footing with those in a ST

1t is to be regretted that the changes and general re
proposed by the talented and hard working head OF
important bureau, Col Medill,) in the matter OF SUI

we doubt not that at the next session this body will
