The Proposed Loan.

The following is a telegraphic synopsis of
the bill reported to the Senate by the Com
mittee on Finance, on Saturday last providing
for a loan of fifteen millions, by the Federal
government:
The bill reported by Mr.. Hunter. in the Sc
nate, gives authority To the President, any
time within twelve months from the passage
OF the act, to borrow SIS GOO, 900. with the
proviso that no contract shall be made to pre-
vent the United States from reimbursing the
sum borrowed at aud after the expiration of
fifteen years from the first Of January next.
the stock to be issued bearing interest not ex-
eeeding six per centum, and none issued for "a

The Southern Pacific Railroad-Meet-
ing of the Cincinnati Stockholders.

A meeting of the Cincinnati stockholders
in the Southern Pacific Railroad was holden
yesterday afternoon to consider the recent
action of the stockholders in New Orleans and
Louisville. Mr.. I. f. Baldwin was chosen
chairman and Mr. A. C. Bagley secretary.
A proposition to send an agent to Louisville
to confer with the stockholders there, and if
necessary to proceed to New Orleans and re-
present the interests of the stockholders, was
debated at considerable length, and the
motives for the sale of the road were discussed
1t was evidently the sense of the meeting
that the stockholders had been badly swindied
by the New York office, and that while the
dishonest men who had perpetrated the swind-
die remained in the company there was no
hope that the stock would be of any value,
and that it would be impossible at present to
ascertain the amount of the frauds.
As illustrating the extent and nature of the
spurious stock issued, it was stated that GER
tfcates of S25 900 stock hand been given to
the engineer, Mr.. Gray, for services for which
he claimed only $4,000. Confidence in the
integrity of Mr.. Yerger and his associates in
the direction was freely expressed and
disposition was manifested to allow those
gentlemen to proceed with the sale of the
road, as the best course for the stockholders.
The proposition to send an agent to Louis
vile or New Orleans was finally rejected,
and Messrs. Calvin Bradley, John TAFT, JAS
NJ. Conwell, and T. III. johnson were appoint
ed committee tC report appropriate reso-
buttons at an adjourned meeting to be held
this afternoon at o'clock.-Cm. Gdz.

THE U. S. FRIGATE CoLORAD0.-This new
steam frigate is fitted with both engines and
cannon of Richmond manufacture. The can
non are the new Dalghren gun, made of our
James river iron, and whose tremendous re-
ports whilst being tested by the L. S. officers,
were familiar sounds to our citizens not long
ago. We don't know how many attempts the
officers made to explode one of these guns:
we think about a thousand, and with the
most enormous charges and every variety of
gunpOwder, but the obstinate gun would not
burst, and they had to give it up at last as
bad, or rather, good job. In the last war
with England, the explosion of our own can
non killed almost as many as the shot of the
enemy. Now, we have escaped that danger;
we have gun that will not burst, and such a
CUNT The Colorado is probably at this mo-
ment the most formidable war vessel that
floats the great deep. Her armament is COM
posed entirely of these Dalghren guns. each
of which throws shell with the precision of
a rife bali, for distance of more than two
miles. There is no English or French line of
battle ship, armed as they are with the old
eiXty-eights, only efficient at about miles
which could stand for five minutes
before the Colorado. She could choose her
own distance and blow them to small frag-
ments with few well directed shells. Capt
Dalghren has introduced in this gun n mo st
formidable instrument of naval warfare, and
one which is destined to revolutioniZe the
future character of naval combats.-Ricinsoad

The people of Mississippi have washed
their hands of banking. Through the instru-
mentality of these swindling rag shops, a
stain blots and blurs her escutcheon, which
water can never wash out, fire burn out, nor
times all-gnawing teeth eat out.-Menlphis
AU0LGHche.
Just so. A democratic legislature of Missis-
sippi gave banking carte blanche to every
keeper of a doggery. gingerbread stand,
candy-shop, blacksmith shop, tavern and to
every other spcculator or adventurer, with a
capital from a shin-plaster picayune to plan
tation and negroes. The state itself borrowed
five millions of money, established a bank,
scattered its bills like forest leaves in Au-
tumn, suffered the bank to fail and repudiated
the debt Through the instrumentality of"
her democracy "a stain blots and blurs her
escutcheon. which water can never wash out,
fire burn out, nor Times all-gnawing teeth
eat out" Her next step should be to wash her
hands of democracy-come up and pay her
honest debts-and take her proper position
among the proudest of her sisters.

The Frauds on the state.

That there have been frauds practiced upon
the State in the management of Free Bank
securities, and, perhaps, in other respects,
various meagre and unsatisfactory publica-
tions that have been made upon this subject,
have doubtless excited considerable anxiety
in the public mind, and created general de-
sire to have full exposition of the whole
matter. But the public must wait until the
facts are ascertained before they can obtain
knowledge of them. The Legislative Com
mittee have been and are still diligently at
work upon the investigation. The public
may rest assured they are making thorough
work of it, and as soon as they have com
pleted it, the facts will come before the people
in full and authentic form. They are, we
understand, overhauling the entire business
of the Comptroller's Office, even to the inter-
est account, and comparing by actual COM
putation the coupons taken up, with the in
terest account rendered. This labor is very
great, and requires considerable time; and
we are assured that when the task is accom-
plished, it will be given to the public.
Iuc uIicl uuduc Dy tHc OomHht-
tee a few days ago, through the press of this
city, was not intended as a report of their
Iabors In the midst of rumors current in
this city and constantly going abroad, in re-
lation to the Free Bank securities deposited
with the Comptroller, it was thought advisa-
BILE by the Committee, both for the protection
of those Free Banks which had the necessary
deposit of bonds, and for the satisfaction and
security of the public, to make statement
of that fact; and this was the only intent and
purpose of that publication. What is the
amount of the peculation or embeZZlement,
or what parties are implicated. and to what
extent, the Committee was not then, nor is it
now, able to state.
We as yet mention no names, for silence
now will not prevent a full and merited ex-
posure at the proper time. But we may as
well state for the information of our distant
readers, what is very well known here, that
the late Comptroller, Col. Luttrell, left
great portion of the business of his Office in
the hands of clerk, and there has nothing
yet transpired rejecting upon his integrity,
more than an overweening and, as is likely to
turn out, misplaced confidence in his clerk.
With this statement, we hope our readers will
be satisfied until they can get the entire facts
from the Commttee-the best possible source

The public is aware that the French Govern
ment set on foot, something less than year
since, scheme for the deportation of negroes
from the Western coast of Africa, to its pos
sessions in the West Indies as apprentice"
We have now an account brought to this
country by the Kingston, Jamaica, Journals,
o. the practical working of that scheme. One
of those Journals of date, April 18th, gives
detailed account, of the capture and transpor-
tation of cargo of apprentices from Loango
and Cabenda to Basse-terre, island Of Guada-
loupe. A small French steamer, the Stella,
of 3s3 tons, under the protection Of an armed
French escort, left the cost of Africa, on the
4th of December last, with cargo of nule
hundred and ftty negroes, male and female; and
arrived at Bass-terrea month after, with only
six hundred and forty seven Of them The
details of the suffering and death during the
voyage are of the most shocking and disgust
ing character Those who reached the port
alive are represented mostly as perfectly max
ed, a few of the females being slightly cover
ed. and all in a feeble and most wretched con-
d1tlOn ana were lneTe cOuIDeu III al open
pen, pudding in mire and filth like cattle at
a market" This port, Basse-terre being the
wrong point for their debarcation, they were
next sent to Pointe Pitre. in another part of
the island. Some were driven overland and
others crowded on board of small coasters in
which many more died. In one instance, one
hundred and five were placed on board of
schooner, eighty two in the hold and the rest
on deck. During the passage, the schooner
struck some rocks and was foundered, and all
those in the hold were drowned. The cir
cumstances altogether are considered equal in
horror and wretchedness the darkest accounts
of the "middle passage" and as embodying
the worst features of the slave trade, as prac-
ticed by the Spanish. 1t is asserted that there
were no contracts of apprenticeship made with
these creatures before they were placed on
on board the vessel, and that they were OBJ
tanned in the usual way, by purchase. So
much for the French re0pening of the African
Slave trade.
