THE WIG LOAN BILL.-The Wing majority Of the
House have persisted in forcing upon the government,
in direct opposition to the recommendation of the Ex-
ecutive loan bill in shape for which no one prece-
dent can be found in the financial history of this any
other government, after twenty months of war. The
wings have voted this in the face of their
o,cn arguments plainly condemning its FORM If not
directly intended to cripple the treasury, it is not de-
MED by the wings themselves that this wing finan-
ciering will cause the supply of money to the govern
ment fall just GENEROUSLY possible the busi-
ness of The country!
1t will be seen that Mr. Mckay for the minority of
the Committee of Ways and Means, proposed as
substitute for the whig bill, the combined stock and
treasury note plan of loan; with the addition of a
small temporary war-tax on tea and coffee, to aci-
tate and sustain the loan, as recommended by the
Executive. For this substitute than four-fths
of the democratic members present gave their votes.
But it was defeated by the wings in unbroken column
the vote being, ayes 81, noes lO4. Mr.. Mckay af-
forwards modified his proposed substitute, to
authorize a compound loan of treasury notes and
stocks, without the tax tea coffee This too.
was voted down by the wings by majority Of one
rote. Every democrat present, believe, voted in
its favor. Every wing present, we believe, voted
against it preferring in time of war, TO force upon
the treasury and the country the issue of naked six
per cent Stock The vote stood lO4 to los. When
the bill, as thus framed by the whigs came out of
committee, opportunity was given 10 the demo-
Gratis to record their names in favor of either of Mr..
McKay's propositions. The previous question was
sprung al once by Mr.. Vnton, and the minority were
obliged to vote for the bill it from the
mittee, or 10 record their names against a measure
apparently intended for the relief of the treasury.
! Under these circumstances, the democrats of the
House voted for its passage. Only fourteen votes
were given against it-all whig-and not few Of
them found among the famous fourteen also given in
the House against the passage of the bill of May ID
1916, recognising the war existing "by the act OF
Mexico and providing for its vigorous aud eectua
prosecution

Murder.

We learn by letter from friend at Kingston, Autauga Co.,, that one of the most shocking murders was committed in that county. on Friday night, the 23d ult. upon an old gentleman by the name of WILLIAM HoNEycUrT, and his wife, al- so an aged lady, residing about l2 miles below Maplesville, on the road from We tumpka to Tuscaloosa. The circumstan- ces, as we learn, are, that during the night some person entered their bed room with an axe, and gave them both several blows on the head both with the pole and edge of the axe, mangling and breaking their heads in most shocking manner, but not quite killing them. They were found in the morning in this horrid condi- tion, exhibiting symptoms of life. The old lady fingered until the night of the 27th, and the old gentleman until the night of the 2sth ult.. and expired, but neither evinced nationality enough to give any ac- count of the circumstances. Suspicion rested upon one of the old mans sons-in- law, by the name of Jacob Bagly, who lived in the same yard, and was oversee ing for him. He has been arrested and committed on circumstancial evidence.- It is supposed that money was the object of the hellish wretch, as it was thought the old gentleman had large amount on hand.

To the Democracy of Alabama.

The undersigned, late the correspondent of the Mobile Register and Journal, over the signature of John Taylor, of Caroline, has recently become interested in s.The True Sum-" of New York city, and is now one of its editors. Being desirous to ob. tain for its weekly edition circulation cor. responding with its daily issue (greater than that of any other democratic daily in the Union) he begs leave to present its claims to the favor of the democracy of Alabama. Under its former propietors, from whom it was purchased in February last, it's character was neutral. Now. however it is the organ of the national and sound democracy of the Empire city. As. sociated with him in the editorial depart. ment of the True Sun, Messrs Geo. J. Gallagher, of Geneva, (N. " formerly the editor of the Geneva Gazette. ia iour. nal well known in that State as an earn. est and determined opponent of the provi. so agitation) and T. P.

 Upon the great'leadng questionable Wilmont proviso of bastard abolitionism The True Sun will always be found opposed to the position of northern fede. ralism and fshy democracy, in their as. sumption that the general government has the right to prescribe the south, or in any manner to discriminate against its eff. zens. The views of the undersigned nm. on thls subject have been so often made known through the Register and Journal, that he Presumes almost every democrat m Alabama is acquainted with them. and he takes great pleasure in statino that the democracy of the gentlemen associated e with him in the True Sun, is in all res. poets similar to his own.

It is really amusing to hear some of the Southern whigs speaking of Gen Taylors sonndness on the slavery question, and then read some of the extract of the northern abolitionism speakers and Presses.
 Such as the following for instance:
 MT. Ashman of Massachusetts spea. king of Gen Taylor says:
 "Although he lives in the latitude where slavery is tolerated, yet do not believe he approves or desires an exten sion. Hts decldred sentiments are e guarantythat he ciH nepcr in the slightest manner, interfere 'c'th the order of Congress when a shall forbid the ertensiom of slauery in eny ne,c. ty acquired territoy."
 The Albany N. Y. Journal says:
 "Now that we have, by virtue of con- quest and treaty, vast territorial acqui- sltions, the question returns shall that ter ritory remain free or become bonded l. And that the question, when Gen. Taylor shall have been elected President, will re- main to be decided by the people and their representatives, to whom it rightfully belongs, and to which decision when thus made chaterer that decision may De, Gen. Taylor piH q0ir his name and seal i? and he proceeds to contrast him with Gen. CAss, whom he describes as pledged 10 ue- to any biH that Congress may pass, pro- h'o't'ng sl0rery upon soil nop free :?
 The Philadelphia North American a Webster paper gives the following sweet strain:
 "On the other hand, Gen. Taylor has positively declared himself in favor of peace against territorial aggrandizcment and committed all other questions to the wisdom of Congress, pledged himself not to exercise the veto power in opposition to the popular will. This affords aa element of security 10 the tree States of uast im- portance, and it presents Gen. Taylor in conservative aspect, calculated to chal- lenge the admiration of the country and at the same time 10 ensure the full con Gdence ot the party acith which he is ide miGed."
 After the Northern Abolition whigs consoling themselves to the support o Taylor, because he is pledged "not to vote againet tn action of Wilmot Congress, much is gained" the Southern whigs say that Gen. Taylor that purely Southern man is the man for the South to vote for He owns they say three hundred negroes and of course cannot be in favor of the Wilmot Proviso. To this we would mere ly remind our Southern friends that Henry Clay is large Shareholder but we now witness him doing everyg thing to bring about the abolition of Slavery in the Southern States, as we'll as urging the Federal Government in restricting of its extension in the Territories.
