VINO STRUCK Mr.. KErTT s-The Southern
newspapers are endeayoring to shroud the solu.
tion Of this question in as much mystery as that
which shrouded the difficult question which arose
in Boston some twenty years since, as TO "who
struck Billy Patterson Z" At first Mr.. Keitt was
in doubt himself whether he had been struck !;
but the testimony of his friends, and the pain Of
black eye, having removed his doubts so far as
to prompt him to make an humble apology to the
House-in which he confessed himself the ag-
gressor--his South Caroliua friends seem to be
agRrieved thereby, and the Charleston Mercury
comes to the rescue in an editorial of half col.
umn, intended to show that while Mr.. Keitt
struck Mr.. Grow the latter did not dare to fetal
late. With such poor apologies do the cowardly
rufians Of the South attempt to keep up repu-
tation among their constituents for pluck and
courage.

FREEDOM OF OPINIoN.--It will be recollected
that the students of the University of Virginia
objected to hearing an Grafton from Henry Win
ter Davis of Maryland, because of his poltica |
opinions. Mr. Davis has written letter in an
swer to their protest, in which he says:
"They who now refuse to hear literary ora
tom from one t-ey thought worthy to be their
guest merely because of his political opinions,
can hardly be expected hereafter to meet, with
calmness and candor, political opponents in de,
bate. We should rather expect them to break
the benches of the forum into weapons for the
decision of the controversy. We should not be
surprised if from their midst Clodius should
arise, who will tear down the house of Cicero and
dedicate its site to liberty"

Hon. SAMUEL II. VALLEY ON THE F1NAN.
cIAL CRIsIs.-Hon. Samuel H. VALLEY has
favored the American Statistical Society, at
their hall in Chauncy place, with an address
on topics suggested by the late financial cri-j
sis The address commenced with some ex-
tended remarks upon the general subject
The, late crisis was attributed by the speaker
to long mercantile credits, extended bank
loans, deficiency Of specie basis, the un war
rantable and rapid extension of railroad en-
terprises, the excessive prices resulting from
an unduly expanded currency, irresponsible
management of the business Of corporations,
the union of the business of the financial
manager with that Of the selling agent, and
undue foreign credits This was their Pan.
dora's box. With respect to the last men,
toned cause, Mr. Valley was of the opinion
that there was no more fruitful cause of de.
stIoyed confidence.
In approaching the consideration of the
remedies, he quoted with appreciation the re .
mark that the business world would probably
now go on well enough until another crop of
fools came up. But to avoid future difficult
ties he would advise
First, not to increase foreign debt Pause
for while in your railroad enterprises.
Second, business must be indiyiduaized.
He was not opposed to well and honestly
managed corporations, but their present mode
OF management was unwise and unsafe. The
books should be regularly examined, and the
business OF selling agent be distinct from the
financial management. No single individual
or firm should have the management of sever
al corporations, and no man should be paid
an exorbitant salary for doing impossibilities.
There should be less extravaganza in ware.
houses and mills.
Third, business must be brought within
safe limits, to the end OF checking mad and
reckless spirit of speculation, aud haste to
get rich without regard to wisdom or honesty.
Gambling in stocks and in goods, were alike
vicious in their tendencies and results Let
banks discourage these wild schemes by with.
holding their discounts.
Fourth, our banking system needed reform.
OF itself it was good and beneficial system
but 1t had been pushed too far, and sadly mis-.
used and abused He would have no radical
alteration in the banking laws, but would
amend them in the following particulars
/. Limit the circulation OF each bank to liz
amount Of capital stock paid in and even con-
siderably loss than this would be preferable.
2. Limit the right Of discount to once and
half its capital
3. Prohibit at once the issue of any hills
under tho denomination Of live dollars aud

Tire Knnzas Committee

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE House Kan
zas committee met tonight Mr.. Morrill, of
Vermont offered a resolution summoning
Walker, Crlhoun, Stanton, and Henderson
for examination, and requiring them to bring
all documents in their possession bearing upon
the subject under investigation. To this it
was objected that official documents, being
from the Executive Department, contained all
oral testimony which might be necessary.
This resolution, with four or five others, was
tabled by eight against seven. Adrian's res
olution was passed, instructing the chairman
to procure from the State Department the cen
sus and registry of votes taken in Kanzas,
with an amendment by Mr.. Stevens in accord :
ance with the law. Adjourned to Wednes-
day next.

Mr.. Valley was Of opinion that the tariff
might be amended, especially with regard to
the duties on imported iron and wooden fab
RIGS. But vacillating rates of duty were ruin
Gus to cuisines and to avoid possible trouble,
he. would keep the tariff unchanged for the

Allusions were made to the views on the

THE CoNoERr.-The complimentary concert to
Mr.. Arbuckle, the leader and director of Fiske's

with the usual eclat. There was large and APP

pressed themselves highly delighted with the per-

performances of the full band were given in the

full practice. Mr.. Arbuckle gave one of his inim
liable cornet solos, and played beautiful duett
with Mr. Patz. The orchestra of whose perform
ances we must speak in the highest terms, is com.
posed of the right material and we hope it may
have an accession to its members. The echo du

Days" elected the warmest appreciation. Mr.
Hobbs gave one of his clarinet solos with the in
evitable encore, playing therefor an exquisite
melody, which regretted was SO short. With
Mrs Fields singing we have before expressed
ourselves highly delighted and she sustained on
this occasion her high reputation. Beautiful was
the little song she sung AN encore. The sing
ing of the Glee Club under the direction of Mr..
Arbuckle, was excellent as is everything with
which he has anything to do.
