The President and tie New York
Eactfous.t

The quarrels of the New York Democracy
having reached point of ferceness that
threatens a total and hopeless disruption of
its organization. the President summoned the
leaders on both sides before him, at Washing
ton, with view to negotiating peace. The
fight is Tammany against Tam maryland of
course is grounded on the public plumber. In
principle there appears to be no dispute, but
in the matter of the spoils, there is mortal
conflict. The actual war is between the s.ins"
and "outs," though the "ins'' are involved,
to some extent with each other on account of
sympathy with the .'outs." Post master
FOWLER and Collector SCHELL are the oppo-
sing Chiefs. Each is surrounded by number
of invincible braves. The council was con-
vened at the White House on Friday night
last, and sat till late hour; and a treaty Of
peace was formed. Tammany was declared
20 be the accepted organization of the party,
and the anti-Tammany men were forced into
subsection. SCHELL knocks under. But we
apprehend the strife is not ended. WOoD,
DICKINSON and RUSSELL refused to obey the
simmons Of the President, and will probably
not consent TO be bound by the settlement.
We look upon it therefore, as anything but a
''inality.'
We take this warfare as very apt Illus
tration Of the point of decentralization and
corruption to which the sham democracy have
arrived. The President has certainly not
had the true dignity of his station before his
eyes, in thus condescending to mix himself up
with the affairs of a set of intriguing, if not
abandoned politicians, and. prostituting the
White House to the purposes Of a club of
political pOt-house wranglers.

er saw the order afterwards. He has it yet,
but the bonds are gone. He states that he
did not get the bonds until the 10th Sept,
but that he got the coupons on these bonds
on the 18th of the same month. These cou-
pons were not cut off by me; would have
committed fraud in so doing. and deliver

statement he says he did not get the bonds
until the 10th September Mr. Spence says
that Mr.. Morton got them when he was absent,
that Mr.. Morton told him | was not present,
but he was compelled to have them. So he
got the bonds without ever delivering the
order. On the 10th of September, Gov John
son and A. r. Crozier, Esq. made settle

act of 1854. and got from the Bank $780,

belonging to the E1 change Bank. There's a
mystery in the fact that the Committee did
not see proper to investigate this matter
thoroughly. There is also mystery in the
fact when they had proof from the Cashier
Of the Merchants Bank in New York that
the Bank had paid Mr.. Mosby for fifteen con-
pons that we hear nothing more on this sub
ject. These facts Indicate strongly that the
committee were under some strange influence
or for want of time or something else.

We have been Interested mainly in this
number of the Quarterly, by lengthy and
very able article entitled Publications of
the Arundel Society'-being a review Of sew
eral works upon the subjects of Art and
Artists. These numbers of the North Brit
ISL and Quarterly ReUie,cs close the respective
volumes for 1858; and we must confess them
to be emincntly worthy Of binding, and a
permanent place in the library. So much
useful, and really solid information is rarely
afforded in periodical or magazine form.
This is especially the case with all the
LEONARD ScoTr publications. and so it our
need of praise be of any value, we say IN

arguments OF those at the South known as

very striking in it, either in matter or style.

New Book.

PoEMs, by MATILDA. Richmond, Va 4. Horri', 1858
A neat little volume with the above modest
title is received through the mail. Its author
is Miss MATILDA C. SMILEY, OF Virginia. To
the readers of the Southern Literary Mes
senger," and the Louisville Journal" the
cffusons of this gifted Songstrcss are flmi-
liar. A previous volume, also, has conveyed
TO the public knowledge of and friendship
for the gentle and amiable author. The pre-
sent volume is but another chapter of her
trusting and devotional soul, which will be
read and appreciated, not in the heat and
glow of active life; but in the calm repose Of
the evening or in the glorious and trustful
tranquility of the morning. And then always
with pleasure and profit. There is nothing
OF the sublime and exciting attempted. The
whirlwind and the storm are hushed, the
human passions are at rest. and the imagina-
tion stops its wild course. We sit down in
the moonlight and sip the dews of heaven,
We commence with our own hearts and con-
sciences, reflect on the past and its thick
strewn troubles, and through the telescope of
faith and hope, survey the mysterious line
which separates Time from Eternity. We
visit the graves of our kindred, and thence
looking beavenward name a star for the dear
soul that has left us and call it our jewel, not
lost, but taken up, to elevate our aspirations
Z" reclaim and wear it, sparkling and reful-
get, at the marriage feasts of the hereafter.
None of the poems are long, but each has
something touchingly beautiful. There is no
striving after art, but each lay is artlessly
simple. We do not read for poetic beauty,
nor to admire the rigid adherence to poetic
rule; but for the pure and holy gush of senti-
ment which trickles through every line and
verse, a. the almost unseen rill steals along
the hillside. bathing the gentlest and most
modest of the flowers that give the earth-sur-
face its shades and tints. Altogether, we
ike Poems, by Matilda"-more for their
being the outgushing of pure aud lovely
heart, than the strong outpouring Of tenn
pestuous genius.
Our limits forbid us to give more lengthy
review but we cannot refrain from trans
cribing the following as an exquisite speci-

ton, entitled, a
HYMN IN SICKNESS.
In thy hands, Eternal One,
Passiyely lie,
Ready 10 perform Thy will,
Let me live die.
All I ask Is trust in Thee,
Trust aud love sincere,
Faith that firmly leans Thee,
Love that knows no fear.
Neither life nor death ask,
Only let me be
Clothed in thine own righteousness,
HID with Christ In Thee.

It has been my intention for some time past
to review to some extent the report of the
late 'Investigating Committee" but have
delayed making any publication until it was
printed and placed before the public. / feel
that sense of Justice to myself requires it,
that the public demands something from ne
of the kind; and now in doing so, will at
tempt to give a plain statement of facts,
based upon such proof as, think. no reason
able man can doubt / did not receive a
printed copy of the report until short time
since. and as soon as received in order to
satisfy all who may read my reply that the
Committee have done me great injustice. and
that their report is incorrect. applied at
once to Gov. Harris. Gen. Dunlap, Comp
trOller of State. Col. Ray. Secretary of State,
and Mr.. McGregor, State Treasurer, for infOr-
nation in the State offices, and / eel grateful
to them for their prompt replies.
The Committee say that from the 1st of
January. 1850, to the LIST of January. 1885, a
period of eight years, the last two embracing
my official term as ComptrOlley of State. the
excess of interest paid at the Comptroller's
Office amounts to S48.3S3.O9. This Com
mittee at the time were well aware that a
large amount of bonds had been loaned by
the State to Internal Improvement Com
panies. On page 100. the report refers to
the fact that the interest on Il portion OF these
Bonds is paid by the State Treasurer and the
amount is paid by the Companies into the
Treasury. As matter of course, then, a
Committee composed of business men. while
they would have charged the Comptroller
with the money paid out on his warrant,
would have given him credit for any amount
that had been refunded. To show the utter
fallacy of that part of the report which says
the sum of S48.3S4 08 has been Overpaid. l
addressed letter upon the subject to Gen.
Dunlap, the present State Comptroller, and
he replies that from the lst of January, 1850.
TO LIST of January. 1858, there have been
issued from the office warrants directing
money to be paid into the Treasury. on ac-
count of interest, on bonds amounting to
S55.767 80.
To the following letter received from Mr..
McGregor, State Treasurer, in reply to one
addressed to him by me, ask the special at
ton of the reader:
