FIXANcEs OF ALABAMA.--A bill was introduced
into the Senate Of Alabama, week ago, to enable
the trustee and commissioner of the State TO obtain
the money for the payment of the bonds due on the
list OF January, by the issuance of new bonds to
run six months. According to statement in the
Montgomery Idrcrtjscr, the situation Of Alabama,
at the present time is rather critical than otherwise;
for, unless the means are forwarded by the steamer
which sails on the lGh inst, the State, for the first
time in her history, will fail to meet her engage.
ments at maturity Her only resources are her treas
ury, now with but small quantity Of specie funds,
her North Carolina and Virginia bonds, CHEESE sell.
in New York at Ss7) and the issuance of short
bonds If the Virginia and North. Carolina bonds
owned by Alabama were sold ,cgcn at the highest
vuotation the proceeds would be insufficient to pay
her State bonds due next month.
Alabama is thus embarrassed on account Of loss
of some three hundred thousand dollars by the fail
urc of New York house. in whose hands the money
had been placed to pay her January interest.
Book FRAUDS AT WAsmINGToN,-Dr. Robt Mayo
of Washington, has made an exposure of certain
frauds in the distribution Of books to members of
Congress which affects the character of VIM Cullom,
the late Clerk of the House Of Representatives, and
of Others
On the last day Of the last session Of Congress, n
deficiency bill, was passed, which contained, among
other things n direction to the Clerk to furnish to
each member of 'ongrcSs the Debates, Land Laws,
Diplomatic Correspondence Adams and jcicrson's
works, &C., and appropriating sum Of Sl3S,0OO
therefor Under this act Cuom demanded first
500 600 from Comptroller Whitcsy and next SO
900 from Comptroller Mcdll, both of whom refused
because he had vouchers. CuIOm then got the
receipt Of twcnty-onc members Of Congress, and
drew some S2j, 600 therefor. In some cases, and
probably in most these books were never sent. He
afterwards bought through one Tyler, sets OF books
hom Gales & Scaton to the amount of S32 $50 hut
paving s. 900 less than that amount keeping the
difference as his share of the profit, after attempting
to get twice much.
CuIom is now completing his order from old and
worn out sets and the way he gets these, though we
do not see it disclosed, is that members to whom
this distribution takes place with every Congress,
sell their volumes at low rate to booksellers at
Washington who sell them back again 20 the Clerk
SO that the same series of books gpc the rounds an
indefinite number Of times.
OF course, Rivcs. of the Giojc, Gales Il Scaton
and others, complain Of this process which leaves
their books upon the Shelf or cOmpcIs them to di-
vide their profits with the clerk
Culom, then X. y. member of Congress from,
Tennessee voted against the Kansas Nebraska act ;
and the black Republicans afterwards made him
Clerk of the House.

Matters ira Congress,

The session Of Congress is rapidly draw
ingte close, and its last hours promise to be
as indnstriously, as its firstwefe idly spent.
The corruption cases were disposed of on
Saturday. Messrs. MATrEsoN, EDWARDS
and GILBERT, after protesting their limo
cence and vainly endeasoring to have their
accusers brought to the bar Of the House
and put upon their examination, resigned
their seats. IN case of Mr.. WEIGH, the
House resolved, by avery large majority,
that their was no cause of action. Messrs.
SrMoNroN and TRIpLETT, two Reporters,
charged with having used their privileges
to lobby bills through Congress, were ex-
PEELED from the floor.of the House. ii9ta

Vlse Jansen Relief ain.

This bill passed the Assembly on Sat
Eurday, after protractedf debate, by the
close vote of As to- Al. We have hereto.
fore expressed our opinion of the measure.
and, SO far as we can learn, that opinion
is very generally entertained by the press
and people of this State. 1t would be an
outrage upon Justices wrong to the State
and Il direct incentive to official malfea-
sance, to relieve Mr.. Jansen and his bail
from the penalties which they have incur
red. We have yet to hear the first good
reason for the course proposed. 1a7
- II is not even clear that MIR. Jansen is
entitled to. the sympathy so confidently
claimed for him. g At anyarate very many
of his German eountrymen insist that he
cannot plead either ignorance Of innocence
of The practices BY which the Treasury was
robbed Of hirtyJfge thousand dollars
We had been disposed ourselves to think
otherwise and to believe, with some of Mr..
Janssens friends, that he had no knowledge
Of the robbery and no share IN the plum
Ser. But we haya heard that from re-
Spectacle German citizens within i week
past, which eompeH q doubt on this point
and renders II imperative, in our judgment,
that that the matter should be legally idvesti-
gated, IT upon that investigation, it shall
be shown that Mr.. Jansen was the ii l,sl,o-
cent victim Of others rascaiities, II will be
quite time then for The protfer of svrnpa-
thy, or the exercise Of. mercy. But until
that fact is established, and some good
ground shown for Executive. or Legislative
lnterposition, we hold that the law, should
beleft to;take its course. For these reasons
we hope that the Senate willreflse its CON.

Morality i'm ST. EsaEaa.

The famous world removed cityaof st.
Paul is just now cursed with gambling
HEELS driven By liquor, evil women, MUIR
|derers, horse racers and all manner Of in
stilutions of the very latest invention to
destroy. It is perhapsthe worst city in the
west, but there is an effort to cleanse it.. ~
The Minnesota Times deals. in weekly
exposures of these evils, which has aroused
a tremendous opposition from a combin-
alton of the Internal legions. The other
city papers are either awed into silence
concerning the evil workers, or become
their open apologies. The war has be-
come exceeding personal between the
Minnesotian and Pioneer, the latter hay
ing become the apologist of the rowdies
and rul4ians. The following is a speci-
men Of the Miancsotians defiant tone:.
We ask this community, as the war
which has been waged upon us progresses,
to mark the Development of the deep
laid scheme which has been maturing for
the past month, to iuin both our rcpLta-
ton and business; but thank God we
have passed through more fiery ordeals
than this, and do not fear the howlings Of
the storm now. The combination Of all
the defenders Of crime-the afidayits Of
Rum-sellers and their clerks-the kissing
of the gambler, OF the stealthy tread OF
the murderer, will but nerve our arm to
strike with more effective blow the evils
which surround this community. The
timid ones may desert us-men may be
found to swear falsely against us---a trail
torato his party may seek to instigate yio-
lence to our person,--bnt if necessary, we
withstand alone and beat back the bull
dogs that howl along our pathway
There is need in this city for excitement
need that the community should be, a
reused from their lethargic state-need
that the willy serpent that is creeping into
the heart Of our homes and running our
children, should be grasped by the throat
and laid dead at our feet-<needs that a
new era should dawn upon us, to save our
young and vigorous city from the scenes
that have chilled the hearts blood of
many noble wamlerer on the shores of
the Golden EIdorado. Laugh thenl hiss
'thent LIE then.!-we fear you not,
nor do we court your friendship.
