"In the view of some men, and especially those
tincturcd with the odor of abolition, NO person
do us common justice without dishonesty and dis

Ritchjc is bribery and fraud. Members of Con-
gress cannot be patriotic and faithful without
prosecuting and striving to ruin us at the expense
of the honor and hbcrality of the nation. The
laborer is worthy Of his hire everywhere, unless

General Qultm.n In Court.


The New Orleans Picayme Of the Sth in
stant describes the following episode in the trial
Of General HENDERSON on the day previous:
"Mr. J. p. Benjamin commenced the opening
argument on the part Of the Government.
"At IL O'Clock General JOHN A. QUIrMAN, late
Governor of the State Of Mississippi, appeared in
court, accompanied by Mr.. Fielding Davis, the
United States marshal for the southern district OF
Mississippi, and the Hon. A. T. McMurran. dis
tinguished lawyer from Natchez, and former
partner of General Quitman.
g The court here interrupted Mr. Benjamin in
his argument, in order tc. receive General Quit
man, and permit him to plead to tho indictment.
.sThe United States marshal, Fielding Davis,
having returned the writ of arrest to the court,
General Quitman arose and stated that, waving
the reading of the indictment, he desired to enter
the plea of not guilty, and he should demand =
speedy trial, ~ he had resigned his office a. Gov
crnor for the purpose Of obeying the summons Of
the court He desired to be bailed, and was pre-
pared to enter into rccognizance to appear from
day to day until bis trial.
.The court ordered the clerk, Mr.. j. w. Cur
ley to take the recognisance Of Gen. Quitman
in the sum Of one thousand dollars. The General
then entered into bond with Mr.. Henry w. Hill
surety.
oThe court stated to General Quitman that it
should give him speedy a trial as was in its
power. aa e t8y

H... van q ma,

The imports Of dutiable merchandise into the
port Of New York during the last month were
$l3, ,765, and, but for the failure Of the At
lantic to arrive, they would have reached $l4,-
5000, being three millions more than in the
last year, and little short Of double the amount
of lS49. We have now less cotton TO export,
less tobacco, less rice, less wheat, less pork,
less beef, and less, indeed, of every thing,
than we had for years since, consequence of
which is that our shipping, Notwithstanding its
increase of quantity, is earning less amount
Of freights than it did three, four, or five years
since; and the only mode providing for these
enormous imports is to be found in the trans
mission of certificates of debts, the interest upon
which must continue to be paid. How all this
will end-how it must end-is easy to be seen;
yet Congress has been more than two months
in session, and is now about ready to adjourn,
without adopting any measure tending to pre-
vent the occurrence of the frightful catastrophe
that must inevitably result from this enormous
increase of our foreign debt. The experience
Of the terrible period from 1887 to l842 seems
lost upon them.

Ad valorem Duties.

II is favorte theory Of the friends of ad va
lorcm duties that, other things being equal,
they net greater amount Of revenue to the
Government which has them in force, and it
is frequently asserted that Great Britain is so
well aware of this, that she levies the principal
amount Of her duties in this manner Now,
the British official tables on this subject are
only published to the end of the year lS47, and
from them We CLEAN the fact that in that year
The whole amount Of revenue collected by ad
valorcm duties was .f64 1924, while that col
ected by specific duties during the same pc
riod was fl9,937 ,6l4.

clerks, and attorneys in the circuit and district

The question pending was on the amendment
proposed by Mr.. HAMLIN, that whenever the lees OF
any person acting clerk to both the district and
circuit courts in any district shall not amount TO
five hundred dollars per year, the said clerk shall
be paid a sum out OF the treasury which, togsther
with his fees, shall amount to five hundred dollars.

adopted. sseltf .s sgE
MIR. WALKER proposed an amendment TO the
effect that, whenever any person shall held the Office
Of clerk to any two or more courts OF the United
States in any district, and the grosa amount of
fees in any Of said courts shal amount to six thou
sand dollars per annu. said clerk shall vacate the
clerkships other than that Of the said court.
After debate, MIR. w. modified his amendment
so as to provide that hereafter the clerk of the Grim
inal court Of the District of Columbia shall have
power to appoint his own clerk; and the amendment
was then adopted.

"The Presidents message, at the opening of the

LETTER OF GENxrAL HousroN.-General Hous-
ton has recently addressed letter to a relative,
which has been made public:
" MIR. Houston thinks the anti slavery agitation
in the free States is in great measure subsided.
The action Of Vermont he believes took place du-
ring the extreme violence Of the fanatical fever,
and believes that she will hasten to repeal it.
"He objects to a southern convention for the rea-
son that it is totally unnecessary, and would be
productive Of much harm. The South needs no
new guaranty-thc Constitution is ample enough
for her rights already and cannot be FILTERED away
by special pleading, nor overthrown by open force.
q He condemns the late disunion movements in
South Carolina, and believes Virginia will spurn
with dsdain her schemes to lead off in southern
convention. Texas, he says, will never desert the
Union; she had too much trouble to enter it.
In conclusion, he hopes that If ever the cloud Of
disunion should break, the same shall be met, not
by the evasive hypocrisy Of secession sectional
conventions but in the bold and manly spirit that
actuated our fathers in the Revolution-that noble
spirit which proclaims that the preservation Of lib
erty will justify any measure necessary to that
great end.'

We find the population of this thriving young
western State for the year 1850 reported at
1872 ,204. In lS40 its population was only
43,lll. Its gain in population, therefore, in
ten years, has been LAG ,O93; or, in other words,

In l643 the psopeller Prines1sn, in the bay
Of New York, overlook and pissed the Great
Westetn; went round het, and Jlssed her se-
cond time, befop they had reachhd their point of
separation. Ffom this mome6t the ultimate
success Of the propeller for nod purposes was
settled; and yet, with the single exception of the
San Jacinto, not yet finished, there has been no
reproduction of the Princeton in the American
shipyards, thought it has been copied an hundred
times in the navies of France and England.
There is no propeller steamer now in commits
sion in our service, excepting only the .hassa-
chusetts on the Pacific station, most valuable
ship transferred to the navy by the Quarter
masters Department at the close Of the Mexi
can war.
In seeking to reduce the expenditures Of the
navy, it becomes an important question how tar
this efficient and economical class of vessels may
be substituted for the more expensive steamers
which make no use of their sails. The adop-
tion Of Commodore SKINNEn's recommends
tions will enable the Navy Department to reach
satisfactory solution of this question.

Tn. Coal ana tn. sbipp,.x Interests.

We find in one OF our Democratic cOntempo-
raries, an indignant denunciation Of any further
protection to the great coal interest of Pennsyl-
vania, Maryland, and Virginia, as being totally
unnecessary. How, J" it is asked, can the
importation of two hundred thousand tons Of
coal affect this great interest2 The quantity
imported" I" says the writer, g has not increased
under the tariff of l846, but has actually de-
creased" Not doubt of it. We have ceased
to need coal. Our furnaces are blown out.
Our rolling mills are stopped. Our spindles
and our looms have ceased TO run. We are
buying cotton and woollen cloth and iron in
stead of making them, and the consequence is,
that while we have crushed the domestic pro-
duce of coal, we have substituted nothing in
its place.
The leading idea of the author of the tariff Of
1916 was that of increase of shipping; and yet
every ship thus far made under that tariff has
tended to decrease the inducement to build
ships. Every additional ton of coal produced at
home tended to give employment to additional
shipping, in the transportation ofeither the coal
or the iron made with it. Almost every addi-
tional ton Of coal imported tended to give addi-
tional employment to shipping, because brought
from places to which our exports were less
bulky than our imports. The additional cloth
and iron broughtfrom England gives usaddition-
al employment to shipping, because they come
from place to which our exports are always
far more bulky than are our imports.
What is needed by the furnaces and iron
mines of Pennsylvania, and the ships of New
York, is demand. The power to consume coal, /,
and iron, and cloth, diminishes daily, because
there is daily diminution in the demand of
labor and capital to be employed in the produc-
tion Of commodities to be given in exchange
for them. We have less to sell abroad, and
thus is diminished demand for ships. 1t is time
that shipowners should open their eyes to the
fact that, when we mine the most coal, make
the most iron, and spin the most wool, ships
earn the largest freights. Our whole expert
ence proves it.
