MIR. Corwin, ia receiving liberal share
Of abuse from certain reckless party
i presses for his connection with recent
/ alleged violations Of the spirit Of the
Sub-Treusury act The extent Of his
offending is thus briefly stated by the
Newark Advertiser -
! We do no, understand that the ex-
\ Secretary OF the Treasury Mr.. Corwn,
is charged with using Government
funds in making investments In United
States siocks for his oten advantage bu,
for that II Me country Finding a
surplus in The Treasury Of neary twenty
millions. not hearing interest, and dong
no good to any one, but OH the contary
pressing with dead weight upon the
limbs OF trade and business, he procures
portion Of it to be brought 20 the use
oi the people by buying in Gas he was
AUTHORISED 10 do by law) Government
stock. Is that all 7 Yes. thnt is all 7
Where, then is the harm What evil
has the Secretary done7 The country
is now getting interest for their money,
which before lay useless and lfeless in
the vaults of the Suo-Treasury and
the community Is benefited 'qualy.'
Secretary Corwin was authorized by
Congress to make the purchases Of
stock, and the on y irregularny 10 that
he employed an agent 10 do il, instead
Of going into Wall street himself with a
keg OF specia, as strict construction Of
the Sub Treasury law would require.
It Is not pretended that dollar OF the
public funds was lost by the course
pursued by MIR. Corwin, or indeed ,ha,
there was any danger Of lose.
Nrw MOVEMENTS IN FAsHioN.-The
"Youpg Gentlemen Of the city had
grand Ball, yesterday afternoon, at 3
o'clock, al Dodworlhs rooms near
Grace Church They extended a
large number OF invitations 10 ladies,
especially 10 young ladies, who were
expected 10 come. not exactly in ball
costume, bu, in their pretty new spring
bonuets, with their street or carriage
dresses, not the robes Of the evening
A good deal OF curiosity has been eX.
pre- sed rhy this peculiar hour should
be sought The ball was limited to 10
P. Nj, the hour balls usually open now;
but this begins at 3 p. M. Some say
the ball was given blythe young men
TO respond TO the invitations that they
have been having during the winter
but why, ,len, the hours between 3 2.
NJ. and l0P. M
We don't want any lady TO read
what fellows, and therefore every lady
will stop just here; but The sorry is, that
the young gentlemen really desired 10
see IN broad daylight, for once, the fair
ones whom they may make their wives,
and that, too, before they were engaged
to them. They see the iair ones often
at night. ia The glitter Of splendid sd
looms, by blaziI G gas lights, adorned
with lewelry aud flowers, and IN silks
and satins but they never see them in
sunshine, in broad day light, with their
bonncts on, and in other than ball dress
rs, and hence they do not really know
, how they will look. Woman mdu he
SO artificial u.at at nigh, lover Can
scarcely tell whether she has eyes or
even ears o! hci own, TO say nothing oi
teeth, cheeks, &c. though We don't
say there is any such woman in the
world but if there be, curiosity will
find i, out Il, Dodworlh's rooms, and q
man will then know what he is really
winning. Rouge can be detected If
/ there is any such thing used in the
world. Wha, The dentists have been
doing can al least he guessed at but
there even curiosity must halt, the
art of the mi,lner is so Sublime that 1t
creates charms, or the fancy ofthe ex'
istence Of them, and converts dCiormi-
ties into actual beauties. n. b. Para-
soils were not expected 10 be used,
though some Of the young ladies a, the
maHuees and feteS ChdmpeJes have IN.
sisted upon their righls even indoors,
to use them.
