raj interest is the great of the country, and il
that can only be brought specially under the nur-
turing care of the Federal government, to create
new horde of benefciaries, will be leading ex-
ample for all the minor interests Once get its
influence enlisted in favor of special legislation and
there is no telling where it will stop.
The House have for several days had before it
Senate bill to establish a board of accounts
The idea is that the unlawful demands on the trea-
sury which cannot be allowed by the present ac-
count bureaus, and which annually come before
Congress in the shape of pleas in equity, have got
to be so numerous and importunate that a sepa-
rate commission is called for to hear and determine
them. The bill provides for three commissioners
at a salary of $4,000 each and an attorney at
$4,000. There are several amendments proposed
One is to refer these claims to the Courts and al
low the U. States to be sued. Another to limit
the commission to four years, requiring to ascer
tain the facts and report them to Congress, with
out permitting its action to bind the government
The latter is think best. But the whole is got
ten up by claim agents and spectators and is
entirely wrong. HONESTUS.

BY the way of conclusion, we append COM
ment of an eye witness to the disgraceful scene
it puts the character of Pat Riley very strongly
before the mind of our readers
"Not having the pleasure of Deputy Marshal
Rey's acquaintance, we fell into an innocent mis-
take in regard to him, supposing him to be the
claimants attorney. We saw before us a very
important parsonage, large, full-faced, looking as
happy glorfed pumpkin, and we thought of
course he must be the claimants attorney. He
seemed almost dignifed and happy as George
Wood, of New York, his face radiant with score
of vntages. 81 wish you to say, gentlemen,
which of you are counsel, for we cannot admit
more than two, and will thank the rest to retire.
No reply being given, he said, Gentlemen, we
are ready to sell, if you have any propositions to
make" 81 will give $25 out of my own pocket
to buy the man" We remarked that if there was
any selling, we hoped it would be of the fellows
who was SO ready he to be sold to the kdnap-
pers. He appeared offended at this remark, and
said he only did what he was obliged to do. We
replied, we thought no law could oblige man to
assist in such atrocious villainy.
At our last accounts from Boston, the fugitive
slave had not been recovered. Two negro leaders
of the rioters have been arrested, and also two
white men, abetters of the riot, viz: EIizur
Wright one of the editors of the Free Soil news
paper called 1.-The Commonwealth" and Charles
g. Davis, one of the lawyers who appeared as
counsel for the fugitive

The undersigned members of the late Convention
of Southern Rights Clubs, held i'm this place were
surprised to find in editorial of the advertiser and
Gazette" of to-day, the following language in refer
ence to the Resolutions forming the platform adopted
by that body:
"They not intended, however we presume. as n
platform for the Southern Rights men throughout the
State, but rather expression of opinion by the
delegates assembled here representing the various
Clubs of the State formed In this light we sur
pose they will be viewed; that our friends can re-
ect adopt such portions of them as they NAV think
proper, without detriment the great cause which VIC
all have so much at heart"
We think well acquainted with the views of
the Convention, and believe the advertiser and Ga
zette is mistaken in the statement that the Resoh
tons of the Convention not intended as Dlat
form for the Southern Rights men throughout ths
State They were the result of much effort distinct
ly to establish Southern Rights platform for the S,ut
Rights Of Alabama, and were adopted with re
markable unanmity as such
