An awkward Explanation.

The last Washington Union furnishes an expa-
nation Of the recent defalcauon, which was discov-
cred at the navy agency at Marseilles. To our
view, this statement, instead Of mending the mat
ter, gives it more criminal complexion and places
the responsibility, to very serious extent, at the
doors Of Mr. Mason, the late Secretary of the Navy.
How comes 1t that house in Richmond" had
any thing to do with transmitting the government
funds to Mr. DENLY in France" The whole Sc
cret Of this transaction is told in this unIrtenuona
explanation. The office Of navy agent was given
to MIR. DENLY on condition that some friend of Mr.
Secretary Mason should enjoy proportion OF us
benefits. And the government funds" were adj
vaDced to that friend-the "house in Richmond
for the purpose Of speculation; and thus more than
one hundred and ffty-fve thousand dollars have
been swallowed up ~ unfortunate ventures, If this
story be true. Now we should like to see the ac-
counts Of that house" produced to the public in
order TO understood how these losses were Incurred;
and we should like also 10 know under what autho
rity Mr.. Mason permitted the public funds TO take
this circuiious and improper direction. The more
this transaction is probed the worse II tells for the
late Administration and there now appears about
II circumsantal criminality affecting persons who
were but yesterday high in authority. Certain 1t
is, that this defscaton was well known to Mr..
Mason, and that some Of his personal friends In

TWENTY YEARS REGULATION.
The Suppression of INQUIRY.

The journals of the Opposition seek to
make personal issues on the recent defal-
cations. With them we have nothing to
do. Under the stringent provisions of the
Sub-treasury act the defalcation of the
individual is the defalcation of the depart.
ment that permits it. Mr.. DENNY is not
the object of our attack. We care not
whether it was Mr.. OSBORNE or Mr.. JOHN
DOE who lost Sl55, 900 of the Government
funds in commercial speculations. The
sole organ is at liberty to protest from day
to day that neither Mr.. OSBORNE nor Mr.
Denny is dishonest defaulter. We
care nothing for either of them. 1t is
natural that the sole organ should be soli-
citous for the reputation of the elite of the
distinguished Democrats of Richmond;
but we have no disposition to arraign
them. We are perfectly willing that they
should go on for the next ten years to
manage the affairs of the Locofocos of
Virginia as they have managed them for
the last twenty years. This is a matter
that does not concern us. What we want
to get at is this: How is it possible for
S155, 600 of the Government funds to have
been lost in commercial speculations, if the
Secretary of the Navy and the Secretary
Of the Treasury obeyed the provisions of
the Sub-treasury actl We only ask for
information.
1t is curious enough that the moment
the Government gets into the hands of the
Locofocos, that moment commences the
plumber of the public money. They have
changed their mode of operations at vari-
Gus times Twenty years ago the post office
was the favorite medium Of plundering the
public by blank paper and Irvine contracts,
extra allowances, exorbitant and dishon-
est mail contracts, and all manner of de-
vices The peculiar present hostility OF
the Locofoco press to Mr.. CLAYTON and
Mr.. EWING arises from the important part
acted by these gentlemen in ferreting out
the abuses in the post office. The first
generation of defaulters will never forgive
them. Hence they are reviving their stale
ISLANDERS from the administration presses OF
those days, as if they could make truth
OF falsehood by its ceaseless repetition.
I 1t is worth while to look little into
past history to show the truth of our ale
gation-that under every system, and all
manner of laws, the Locofoco leaders have
uniformly plundered the treasury--or, to
use a more dainty phrase, appropriated
! the public money to private uses-and

General Taylor and his Cabinet.

IL would seem reasonable that an administration
should be called upon to act before it is condemned
II certainly Is dishonest to abuse it in advance, and
hold II up TO reprobation for deeds, which there is
IN most cases no certainty, and in many no earthly
probability Of its performing. To attack before
hand and on mere supposltlon-a suppOsltion often
having no origin save wilful misrepresentation
does sometimes serve bad men in the advancement
Of bad ends. So long as the Government has not
opportunity to take position, so long there is a
chance for falsehood of all and even conflicting
kinds; alsehood which can be made TO suit the sec
uon and the time where and when it is needed
Thus, Its enemies at the South can avow that it is
to hold one ground, and those at the North maintain
the opposite, and both use arguments which, like
the Kilkenny cats, did they come in contact, would
devour each other.
General Taylor, and his official advisers, against
whose conduct the most nveterate political scandal
hunter cannot bring the first reasonable charge have
been the OH cts Of the aforementioned warfare,
carried on with unparalleled disregard of fairness
AT the South they have been condemned on one
ground, at the North on another and its opposite;
and the Locofocos of the East and West agree in
the attack, but differ as the poles in the pretended
causes of hostility. There is no difference, how
ever, IN the spirit exhibted-all are alike maeyo-
lent There is no deciding 10 whom shall be given
Ne palm Of superiority in this bitter warfare against
Of having had no opportunity to act upon the qnes-
tons of the day. When that opportunity arrives,
action, our foes may be assured, will be had to the
spikipg of many of their crossfre batteries.
The course of the Government so far as il has
had chance to make itself known and felt, meets
the entire appreciation of the great party that gave
power, and, as we believe, of vast majority of
the people. For our part, it is matter ofncreasing
rejoicing to know that the convention had the wis
dom to nominate, and the party the good faith to
sustain man, possessing the simplicity, the down
right honesty and strong sense of Zachary Taylor.

have ever exhibited. The fountains still throw up
their beautiful jets, but the naughty cavaliers and
the high-born maidens and danes who once
thronged them have disappeared, and the pensive
friar, in sackcloih and hempen grdle, sits in soil
tu'le upon the moss.grown stone. The blaze of
Examinations once cleaned from those windows
and corridors, and night was turned to day as songs
and dances resounded through hall, and bower, and
grove. Now midnight comes with midnight ST.
lence and solitude, and gloom; and nought is to be
seen but here and there the gimmer of some faint
taper from the cell where some penitent monk
keeps his painful vgls. The jewelry, and the
Haunting robes of fashion, and the merry peals
which have ushered in the bridal party have passed
away, and now the convent bell but calls world re-
nouncing, joyless hearts the hour of prayer, or
tolls the knell, as, in the shades of night the
mains of some departed brother are borne, with
twinkng torches and funeral chants TO their burial.
And yet how many are there, weary Of the world,
with crushed hearts and dead hopes, who would
gladly find, IN these dim closters, refuge from the
storms of life Here soon beneath this marble
canopy the body of the hapless Isabella will moul-
der to the dust. May God grant that when the
trump of the archangel shall awake her from the
long sleep of the grave, she may arise to sit upon
more exalted throne, and to wear brighter crown
than mortal mind hath ever conceved.--.4bbottS

SOLEMN VOICES.
Ibeard from out the dreary realms of Sorrow
The various tongues of Woe; -
One said, Is there hope in the tomorrow 20
And many answered, "No"
And they arose and mingled their loud voices,
And cried in bitter breath,
IS In all our joys the Past alone rejoices,-
There is no joy but Death.
Z" Oh, dreadful Past, beyond thy midnight portal
Thou hast usurped our peace;
" And if the angel Memory be immortal,
When shall this anguish cease! =
And suddenly within the darkened distance
The solemn Past replied,
In my domains your joys have no exlstence,-
Your hopes, they have not died
. Nought comes TO me except those ghosts detested,
Phantoms of Wrong and Pain;
But whatsoeer Affection hath invested,
TIL eternal years retain.
Then stand no more with looks and souls detected,
To WOO and win despair;
The Joys We mourn the Future hath collected,
Your hopes are gathered there.
And as the dew which leaves the morning flowers
Arguments the after rain,-
And as the blooms which fall from summer bowers
Are multiplid again.
So shall the Joys the Future holds in keeping
Augment your future peace
So shalt your hopes which now only sleeping
Return with large increase"

THE NEW ORLEANS ABDUCTION.

A telegraphic message has been received
from Mobile, stating that the American
consul had offered to send Rey or Garcia
back to the United States from the ship on
board of which he was in quarantine in
the harbor of Havana, but that he had
refused to come. We mention simply the
fact OF the report, being entirely ignorant
of the grounds on which it is based.
On the French side of the New Orleans
Bee, of the 31st ultimo, we find a statement
of events we have not seen elsewhere, but
which we translate:
About noon yesterday, Captain Mcconnell, ac-
companied by MIR. John c. Larne and Mr.. Foul
houze, appeared before Recorder Genos, and re-
quested him to receive declaration under oath
The matter in question was the fact that sailor of
the Mary Ellen was ready to swear thut money
had been offered him to suborn his testimony. The
Recorder at once sent for Mr.. Derbes, justice of
the peace, and at one o'clock Captain Mcconnell
produced his witness before the two magistrates
Mr.. Dufour Immediately informed, went at once to
ton Of the sailor The sailor declared that he was
drunk from Saturday night until Monday that his
memory was confused, but that he recollected an
individual had spoken to him, and said You are
one of the sailors Of the Mary Ellen" "Well"
Keep wide awake, and you will make money out
ofthat scrape." Mr.. Dufour asked the sailor "What
did you understand by the phrase keep wide
awakef' y The sailor answered, "I don't know :"
Mr.. Dufour: WAS not the meaning of the ques-
ton, if you be SILENT" 81 don't understand what
you wish to say TO me-"
Recorder Genos then decided that, in conse-
quence of the obscurity Of the statements Of the
sailor, his evidence would not be received.
The examination OF the witnesses then
proceeded, the record of the testimony of
whom we shall publish tomorrow. 1t is
almost impossible at this state of the affair
to form an opinion-impossible with safety
to express one.

The .Ente" Democracy of Richmond.

The world has heard good deal about the
"Spartan bandr of Richmond and under that de-
nomination has learned to recognise a small num-
Der Of Democratic managers, collected together in
the metropolis of Virginia, who have long given
direction to the conduct of III cir party and through
its general ascendency, to the politics of the State
The heart and soul of that little band was undoubt
eddy the former editor Of the Enquirer, now the
senior editor Of the Washington Union; and among
It's most influential members were DIR. John Brock
enbrough, former president Of the Bank of Vir-
GINA, the late Senator Roane, Mr.. Andrew Steven
son, and some other leaders, aided by rank and
file enough TO do all the work which they cut out
spartan band," however, Is appelation of
comparatively recent origin, and one which the
Richmond Democracy were quietly allowed to as
sumo TO themselves as indicating the pauciy Of
their numbers, and the firm concert with which
they acted. As for their being more like Lycur-
guses and Leondases than other people, we be-
heye they never made any such pretension. But
these gentlemen have only enjoyed their Lacede-
monlan title by tenure of suferance. Their true
original, and appropriate cognomen was the erich
mond Jtrlion designation borrowed from the
Kingdom of Spain, where the course of public az
fairs has, from time immemorial, been directed by
the plots and lntrgues Of petty coteries Of polit-
cans Perhaps a sufficient explanation OF the
gradual disuse of the name "Junto" may be found
IN the fact that various circumstances have operated
W scpdIdbt INC hnulNluudiS VINO maze up the DEM
ocratic caba, some having died, and others having
changed their residence. Their SUCCESSORS have
not been able TO keep up equally efficient organ
izstion, OF to manage the party wires with equal
harmony Of views, and the result may be observed
in several important crosses which the policy Of
the majority has, in late years been forced to sus
tain; as, for example, in the election Of Senators
Hunter and Mason, and Governor Floyd bv
Wing votes, and in defiance Of caucus remon-
strances.
The "Junto, ;" however, was certainly in active
existence until the present editor Of the Union re-
moved TO Washington to take charge Of that paper.
That il was So he has himself furnished a very
curious proof, in an article Of Saturday morning
last, which; besides its giving us an insight into
some important secret history Of political events,
is particularly valuable furnishing new name,
and perhaps the happiest one Of all, for the Rich
mond managers Of Virginia Democracy. Here
sfIer let nobody venture TO apply to those dgnita-
ries any such republican, PLAIN, vulgar epithet as
"Spartsns." That was a very good name to tickle
the public in time of elections but il was alto
gether unsuited the real character Of the person
ages concerned and their own ideas Of their po-
sltlon.
The following extract from the article in the
Union informs the world that, henceforth and for
ever, these managing gentry of Richmond are to be
known as the Elite Democrats

A PLArFoRM WANTED.

There is something quite touching in
the Union's disinterested and philanthropic
efforts to compose the strifes of the frag-
mentary parties in New York, vulgarly
called the Barnburners and Old Hunkers."
1t approaches the subject with such a
Pickwickian benevolence of tone, such an
imploring, pax vobiscum" style of APP
peal, that we should think it would be
wholly irresistible. With pathetic sim
plicity, it says of the parties that GO their
condition has been compared to tangled
skein''---an amiable and domestic image,
and by no means calculated to give offence
to either party. 1t then proceeds to re-
mark eve shall be highly grati6ed to
see reunion of the party If the great
body OF the party take the matter into
their own hands, this desirable object may
be consummated. As we said yesterday,

THE REPUBLIC.

Richmond were privy to its occurrence. Why.
then, did he permit it TO so "unwhpt of justice %
Why did he conceal it from the public eyer Why
did he collide with these parties, and the
facts, bequeathing it unjustly to his successor ?
These are questions which we hope to have an
swered categoricay by the "sole organ" at Wash
inston; when we will have some others to PROFOUND
touching Mr. Mason's official career, and his 'rea-
tons to subordinate fiscal officers, which will de-
mand full and immediate replies. The Union has
been bold in making false charges against its oppo-
nents. We shall see how courageous it will prove
IN meeting true ones against its friends.-Phiia

we invoke our brethren to compostheir
differences; be generous and forbeing,
SO far as individual opinion is CONCEDED;
and again rally on the old platform Ode
mocracy, which is the only party uly
devoted to reform, progress, and rathal
liberty"
" If they can agree upon any comAn
platform of action" says the Union, ste
cliques" (cliques y "will reunite, an
the two nominating conventions of Sch
TENDER will melt into one." Our contem
porary is playing double game, in nc
very adroit manner. One day it denounces
Mr.. Van Buren, as !" the very firebrand Of
fanaticism and faction, and the next it calls
for ga common platform Of action" for his
friends and the Locofocos proper. Its two
fold object is palpable. 1t would not dis
appoint the merited resentment of the
South towards Mr.. Van Buren,, but at the
same time would not forego the chance Of
gathering him and his friends back into
the fold. And SO it gives the leer of invi-
tation to Free-soilism with one eye, and
shams scowl at the appointed leader of
that party with the other beckons low
ingly at the coveted object with its north
ern hand, and repels it with its southern.
This ingenious mode of proceeding will
doubtless be appreciated, especially when
it is followed by the charge Of coalition
between /" the abolition Whiggery of the
North and the slaveholding Whiggery Of
the South"
Can any one "highly crafty" the Union
by presenting that "common platform"
for the seceders and the regulars, the Van
Buren, men and the Cass men in New
York, which it is so solicitous to offerl
If Mr.. Lippard or some other great man
Of the Opposition can construct such a
platform, and leave it at the Office of the
Union some time before the meeting of
"the two consultative conventions at
Rome, August 49," we may venture to
promise that he shall be handsomely re-
warded
