We have already heard the views and intentions
of several distinguished and able members of Con-
Gress the subject of the disorders Of the curren
cy and the for the same, and learn that it is
their purpose to bring up the subject at early
day Of the session. What remedy they will pro-
pose for these disorders, which carry ruin, perioii
caly throughout the country, is not stated; but it
is one that will 90 to the OF the evil aud

unconstitutional aud the present Justices of the

when the question shall be distinctly made before
them.

by the election of successor, will not, it is said,

Correspondence of the baltimore Sun ]
w e,rrr,,r,,,c,- NJ I ! Q

The rumor that the Administration have censur-
ed Gov. Walker's course in rjectng the illegal
votes of Oxford district, in johnson county, has
produced some agitation at the North. Whether
true not, it will exert a most unfavorabe iulu-
ence upon the State election in New York, where
the Democracy antic pate triumph over Black
Republicanism.
The fact appears to be that the subject of Gem
raj Walkers proclamation considered last week
in Cabinet council, and that it was held in their
opuon that it longed to the Territorial Legi5la-
ture to Judge of the validity of the election, and
not to the Governor. 1t is understood, also, that
the subject is again to be considered in the Cabinet
after the return of Governor Floyd, who ex-
pected to arrive here last night If Gov. Walker
is to b. ceusured or dismssed-and the former will
be equi valent to the latter-it will not be without
a hearing His own explanations of his conduct
NUT first be heard.
About week ago dispatches were received by
the government from Governor Walker in relation
his official conduct up to that date and his vim
die ton is said to have been ample and satisfactory.
It is said, however that he requested that the u.
5. troops should be retained in the Territory this
winter, and an order to that effect has been given
This shows that quiet in the Territory is to be
pected, whether or the other paCty may triumph
The free State leaders are evidently bent upon mis-
chief They act in conformity with directions from
their cOmpatrOts in the North, and the main object
is to retain the Kansas issue for the next Presiden
tial election. The Klnsas policy OF the administra
ton will be a leading question of discussion In tie
next Congress- and in relation it, the So uthern
members will be divided.

The appearance of the coffin and corpse is thus
described:
In digging for suitable foundation, it became
Necessary TO go below the coffin, which was conse-
queutly exposed to view. The boards placed above
the coffin had decayei, but no earth had fallen in
upon it, and every thing appeared 20 be when the
coffin was deposited there, except that the coffin
lid was slightly out OF place. allowing partial view
of the interior. AS there fisteuing5 to

nearly filed with a species OF moss which adhered
tenaciousy to the wood.
Beneath this, and partly hidden by 1t, were few

resurrection shall Teunite the scattered particles.

AN EDITREss TURNED ACrREss.-Mrs. L. Virgin
ia Smith, Mississippi lady, and formerly editress
of the Southern Lady's Book, at New Orleans, is
''pllying" in Memphis -Aatgqssta (Ga.) Chronicle.
Our contemporary of the Chronicle is
vastly mistaken. The editress of the South

is now Mrs. French, and instead offretting
brief hours on the theatrical boards, is en-
ioying the comforts and honors of domestic
life, at her lovely home, near McMinnville.

gentlemen so well informed as the Editor
of the Chronicle, and reader of the Pa

SINGULAR INsANITY.-Mr. Francois Ange, veal
thy planter from Louisiana, passed through our
city day or two since route for Europe, where
his friends are taking him for the purpose, if pos
sible of dispelling singular hallucnation or spe"

years ago be took it into his head that his pedal
extremites were parayzed, and, although assured
by eminent medical pr cttiOners that his under
standings are as firm and stronga as they were.

not even an alarm fire in his resid uce could in
duce him to hazard perpendicular position. 1t is
said that he is perfectly upon all other mat

Cuba.

The Washington Star, an Administration paper,
and unusually we'll posted, says:
We incidentally remark in another connection to-
day. that the acquisition of Cuba is the pres
ent purpose of our country. Thouah little has
been said of late in the newspapers upon the sub
iect, there never was time when it occupied more
of the public thought. Every succeeding hour
and each succeeding pOliti al and industrial event
of Importance in Western Europe, the United States
and Central and South America make its necessity
TO our future more apparent to all statesmen. That
it is the great event to which the present Admin
istraton looks forward be the brightest Jewel
in the crown of its policy, those will realize who re-
member the Presidents earnestness on the subject
his elevation to bis present position. That in its
success is involved results of more importance to
the t~O great sections of the coDfe y-pOlti-
CAL so far the South is concerned, and Industrial
as to the NOrth-than any other living question,
all also realise, who remember, that even John
Quincy Adams looked forward to it the great
consummation of American craftsmanship, for tn
benefit of our whole country, which should never
be- lost sight of by its Government.
Political events in Europe, have, of late, rapidly
tended toward placing Spain in position wherein
her paramount interests will compel her to listen to
reason on the subject; while this side of the At
lantc, the weakness of our neutrality law, man
Tested in impunity of fllibusterism, has been
ten ing TO defeat the advantages accruing to Us
through the tendency of affairs in Spain.

The Grave of James Madison opened.

The Grave of James Madison Opened.
The Richmond South gives an interesting account
of the opening of the grave OF James Madison for
the purpose laying tue foundation of Il monument
to his memory. Here is description of the mon
ument:
The monument is of James River granite in
form and obelisk ana graceful and appropriate
as anything could be. 1t is composed of seven
pieces of stone two Of which measure five feet by
seven, and weigh over nine thousand pounds; two
others which measure four feet by two feet, weigh
ing over six thousand pounds; another two feet ten
inches by two feet, weighs three thousand pounds;
and another thirteen feet long, twenty-five inches
at its base and thirteen inches the top, weighs
ten thousand pounds. The gross weight OF the
tire monument is about 50 600 pounds. 1t rises
just twenty -four feet above the level of the burying
ground. The height of the monument proper is
just twenty-five feet six inches, but the foundation
on which it rests being raised some eighteen inches
above the surface, adds that much to the app trent
height of the monument. About nine feet from the
base is chseed the following inscription:

not many minutes before she had through the
