CALHOUN was, certainly, one of the greatest
orators that ever lived ; and vet he was sell
dom eloquent, in the ordinary sense of the
word. The flowers of Oratory were things
with which he was rarely adorned. His in
tellect was like mountain of granite but
it was incanaescent granite-it was logic on
fire.
In delicacy of discrimination and certain
precision of thought, almost fastidious, he re-
sembled WINDHAM, with nothing, however,
of the playfulness of that elegant scholar

Free Banks.

The Committee on Banks in the New York
Legislature, TO whom Was svferred the sub
ject of the bonds and mortgages as the basis
of banking, have reported against such secu.
rites being in future received, as not afford
ing sufficient protection 10 the billholder, and
have introduced bill prohibiting their use.
The Committee, in their report, says:
"That, in their Judgment the certain and
entire security of billholders require that bonds
and mortgages shall no longer be received as
basis for banking. The experiment has now
been tried for sixteen years. During that time
thirty banks, which have deposited mortgages
as a security for their circulation have failed,
and in not n single instance has the security
when brought to sale under the requistion of
the law, realized the amount for which it was
deposited. Indeed so far from such result,
the average amount realized has not exceeded
sixty-one per cent.-the amount of mortgages
sold being S724 l44, and the amount which
they produced being S44l,77l. This start
ling faoi is conclusive with your committee
that an alteration in the present law is clearly
demanded.
" The whole amount of securities held at
the present time by the bank department for
the security and eventual redemption of cir
culation is S25,0l9,650. OF that amount
S6,7l6, ,248, more than one quarter, is in bonds
and mortgages. The increase of these secu-
rites during the last year has been nearly a
million of dollars"

Attorney General Appointm ent.

We paid no attention to the remarks of
GREGG, of the Tribune, who attempted to quote
the constitution, and puposely omitted that
part of it, which SAYS, that "When at any
time vacancy shall have occurred in any
other State Office the Governor shall fill the
vacancy" We also paid no attention to the
Madison Courier, when that paper talked about
the seal of the State being in the custody of
the Secretary, by asking so foolish question
as to wonder how the Governor would take
the seal from the Secretary ?' The editor of
that paper, like the Tribune, we presume,
purpOsely omitted to state what every school
boy in the country knows, in the language of
the constitution, "There shall be a seal of
State kept By the Governor for official purposes,
which shall be called the seal of the State of
Indiana" "All commissions shall issue in the
name of the State, shall I've signed by the Gov
emor, sealed with the State seal, and attested
by the Secretary of the State"
The Secretary holds the SEAL by the mere
couriesey of the Governor, and always has.
He is nothing but mere clerk, TO attest the
official acts of the Governor
But when the Journal talks about igaor-
ance on the part of the Governor in making
the Appointment of Attorney General, we
would merely ask him to publish the whole
section Is, of the 9th article Of the Gonstitt-
ton.
The power is there expressly given to fill
all vacancies that shall occur in every other
State office.
Whenever an office is created by the con-
stitution or laws, and there is vacancy from
any cause, the Governor, by the constitution,
is to fill the same. If it We're not so, the
government would be in a state of revolu-
ton.
Your Penitentiary system is changed by
the law of last session. The present system
will expire before two years. The Legislature
did not elect the commissioners provided for
in the bill. The Governor will appoint and
all will go on in the language of the constitu-
ton, the varions vacancies in the State offices,
will be filled by the Governor. Hold on Mr..
Journal few weeks, and You will see how
the courts decide so plain questiOn--better er
abide i'm peace

Retires.

Col. j. P. CHAPMAN announces, through a
late issue of the Indiana Republican, his with
drawal from all connection with that institu-
ton. In the step taken the retiring editor de-
clares himself in the execution of a purpose
firmly decided upon some months ago.
1t is difficult task for man, who, like
CHAPMAN, has devoted his best engrgies to
the vindication of the sacred rights of the
many, and the eternal priciples of democracy,
against the monopolizing, centralizing aggres-
sions of the federal feso, in the conflict which
divided the two great political parties in their
halcyon days of earlier glory,-it is an un-
grateful and bitter task for such man. when
the eliminating point in existence is passed,
to find himselfighting side by side with his
old enemies, meeting, face to face, hilt to hilt,
the associates Of younger and happier days.
Our own minds are convinced of the causes
conducting to the course of the late vitalizer of
the Republican. As the editor of that paper, cir
cumstances would force him on with the fu-
sion party-oa into anarchy or Capitalization
-in the association of men for whom he had
no sympathy, in the advocacy of principles
in which he had no confidence We predict
that the next great political contest will find
j. P. CHAPMAN allied with his first love, bat
Ting in the ranks of the party to which he
does, in reality, and of right ought to belong.
The retiring Editors yaledictory is laconie
and characteristic of the man. Among other
things he says:
81 should have withdrawn immediate
" after the election, but that l thuoght
might be able to render some service du-
ring the session of the General Assembly
Whatever may be the opinion of Others,
kIlolo positively that could not do so, because
Of circumstances which had no power to
control The fault was not my own God
knows did the best could, and that have
not been untrue TO 4 trust which | consider
as responsible rs any other which can be as
sumed or endured l withdraw sooner than
] otherwise might do, because my health
perhaps my continued existence, imperatively
admonishes me that / must d0 so and l dc
30 with less regret than ] might otherwise
/ fell, because have the fullest confidence in
the ability and integrity of the gentlemen
who will have the entire management of the
paper hereafter"
