HIGH FORBES.

We have been favored with another long rigma-
role BY which Mr.. Hugh Forbes-sometmes called
s.Col. Forbes"--tries TO increase the measure OF
public contempt and loathing wherewith he has
already covered himself The attempt is hopeless
He cannot render himself more despicable than he
is already known to BE-. His new performance re-
yeas nothing. amounts TO nothing proves nothing,
save his own baseuess, which was already estab
lished beyond dispute; and his efforts to cover the
sale of himself and his correspondence-such as it
is-to the Pro-Savery party might well provoke
horselaugh. 1t seems unaccountabe that TINS
fellow should not have wormed out OF somebody or
other letter which could be turned to account by
his new employers. That he could make no reve'
lations is plain for there was nothing to reveal.
He was sent out to Kansas in one OF the
most desperate exgences of the Free-State strug-
ole against Border Rufiian invasion and outrage;
but, before he arrived there the exigency had
passed, and he did nothing for there was nothing
for him to do. What projects were thereupon
talked over between him and some one else, We do
moi know: we only know that the friends of Free
Kansas dropped him right there, considering the
5000 which he had got from them full equivalent
for the nothing he had already done for them and
the nothing more that they wanted OF him there
after He never limited to us, nor to any of our
intimate friends, that he or any one else had any
idea of operating against Slavery anywhere else
than in Kansas. All his cry was for money, more
money, for what he had been willing to do there If
anything had been required. We presume the
burden of his song to every one else was the same
as to us. He can now safely say that he talked of
Old Browns Harper's Ferry project to DIR. Bailey
of The National Era, since Dr. Bailey is dead but
we do not believe him.
This poor creature intmates that he is about to
lear out, to evade further questioning. We advise
him to 90 down to Richmond and set up as slave
holder. If the Fifth Avenue Hotel Committee
have paid him enough to begin business upon, very
well; if not, let him haunt and hound them as he
did the Free-State men, and they will soon BIO
eady to do almost anything to be rid of him.

THE 81. 100000 LOAN.

A grave question is submitted 20 the People OF
our state for their decision at the Election mex,
Tuesday. II is substantially this" Shall the
State Officers be- authorized to make loan OF
" az $50, coo wherewth TO pay off that amount
." now certified to be- due to Canal contractors and
owners Of property damaged by the Canal En-
larrement 2" We shall vote Yes, and advise
others to do 90, though We shall BE- quite willing to
learn that majority have voted against u.s. The
money is duet must be paid anyhow-and this
Loan will create no new debt, but simply put an
existing deb, into q shape more desirable to all par
ties If the People vote down the Loan, it will be
the duty of TIE next Legislature to levy heavy cy-
ira tax and pay of the $4,000 at dash. We
do not think this just nor wise; but If the People

THE MEXICAN TREATY.

Mr. McLane it is understood, IL about to return
TO Mexico in the hope of bringing that treaty which
has been so long the carpet to some satisfactory
conclusion. AIf We must needs have treaty with
Mexico. this return of Mr.. McLane is made neces-
sary by the refusal of the Juarez Government to
authorize their Minister at Washington to bring
matters to a contamination there, though they are
willing to continue the negotiation at Vera Cruz if
Mr.. McLane will return thither.
The latest adyices from Mexico are on the whole,
more favorable to the Liberal cause. Several of
the reports of victories gained by the Church party
and of losses BY the Liberals prove to have been
founded Gen. VOLTS boasted victory at Leon has
turned out to be small matter, aud the report that
he had gained possession of San Luis Potosi proves
to be wholly untrue. That city still continues the
headquarters of DegolladO, the cOmmander-in-chief
of the Liberals who is still exerting himself to col
lect forces for new attack on the City of Mexico.
The detection of Viduarri, who had for long time
been sort of dictator in the States of New-LeOn
and Coahuila, and who in times past has efectually
aided the Liberal side, has proved to be- matter of
no consequence. He was not sustained by the
people of those States, and has been superseded by
those on whom more reliance can be placed. He
has long been suspected OF design to separate him.
self from the other states of Mexico, either BY an
nexation to the United States by setting up for
himself; but his fall and flight OF course put an end
to al those projects.
The Liberals also seem to have gained important
successes in the State of Guadaajara, which Mar
quez, next to Miramon, the principal commander
on the side Of the clergy, has been attempting to
subdue for some time past. Topic, near the Pacific
coast, which Marquee had temporarily occupied, is
again in the hands Of the Liberals, while Marquee
himself, with some FIVE thousand troops, is closely
shut up in the city of Guadalajara the Consttu-
Journalists threatening him with superior forces.
Marquee is charged with having put to death at
Topic Mr.. Ormond Chase, citizen of the
United States, different person, however, from
Mr. Chase the American Consul at Tampico, who
was at first reported to be the victim.
The expedition against Vera Cruz, which Mira
mon is attempting to organize at Mexico, is pretty
much at stand-still for want OF money, notwith-
standing the system of forced loans, including
foreigners and natives alike, which had become
settled part OF Miramon's policy
The Clerical party has lost a steady supporter
by the recall of Mr.. Otway, the English Minister
Mr.. Mathews, who is left in charge Of the English
Legation, is thought to be- favorable to the recog.

SENATOR SEWARD.

Since communication, made or alleged to have
been made eighteen months ago, by one Forbes TO
Senator Seward, has become the occasion for
charging Mr. Seward with completely in the IIar-
pers Ferry affair, it is certainly a very pertinent
question, put by The Journal Of Commerce-What
did Forbes tell Mr.. Seward 1t appears
from Forbes's letters, as printed some days
ago in The n. T. Heraid-the only present source
of knowledge on this subject-that his communion
ton to Mr.. Seward embraced two subjects: first
and foremost. the situation of Forbes's children,
whom he alleged to be starving in Paris, through
the i'll faith Of John Brown, and others whom he
considered answerable for John Browns pecuniary
engagements; and secondly, an alleged " cotton
" speculation" of the - humanitarians"-bo of
which matters Forbes wished Senator Seward 10
put straght." What Forbes meant by the
cotton speculation of the humantarians, il
apparent from other parts of his printed letters.
According to his account, John Brown and certain
Boston capitalists and merchants, among whom
Mr. Amos Lawrence is mentioned b. name, had
entered into arrangement for an Instruction in
the Slave States to be set on foot by Brown, with

notified by the Controller that the taxable property
in this County had been set down at 1852 903, 49,
upon which State tax of 81 49,, 25S %, or q
mills, is TO be raised. Mayor Tiemann sent in to
the Alderman his veto of the ferry privilege given
TO the New-Jersey Transportation Co., for ferry
from Desbrosses street 10 jersey City. The Board
concurrcd with the Councmen TO release the
Union Ferries, from Catharine slip TO the South
Ferry, all in lump, thus virtually insuring the
present monopoly against competition. The Coun-
cilmen directed the Street Commissioner 10 clear

proposition to widen the same thoroughiare by
taking two feet from each sidewalk was referred TO
a special committee, and the issue OF $4,000 Of
Central Park improvement Stock, enough 10 keep
the men at work through the Winter, was
authorized.

THE HON. LYMAN TREMAIN.

Among the speakers announced for the Ratifica-
ton Meeting at Tanmany Hall this evening, Is tho
Hon. Lyman Tremain. Attorney General of this
State, and candidate for reelection. Two years
ago. when this gentleman was a candidate tor the
Office which h. now holds, h. was brought down
to the Academy of Music, and there made
speech, the staple of which was the threadbare
charge against his opponents, OF wasteiui ana
profigate expenditure of the peoples money.
There was q certain boldness and fertility Of
invention about this harangue which rendered 1t
highly acceptable to his audience. The managers
of the affair forthwith seized upon the carefully
prepared manuscript, and gave it wide publicity
through the newspapers of the party, and also IN
pamphlet form; in truth. it became sort OF key
note TO the ensuing canvass. The success OF the
system of tactics thus naugurated was encouraging,
and the election, which occurred just about the time
the monetary crisis of 1867 reached It's hight devel-
oped, perhaps, the most extraordinary change in
public sentiment which has ever taken place in
the country. Mr.. G.. J. Tucker, the Democratic
candidate, was elected Secretary of State by
majority of ,O57 over Clapp, Republican, and
the remainder of the Democratic ticket was car
ried by about the same majority, although
Fremont for President, only one year before,
had majority of ~, l26 over Buchanan, and
King for Governor had 65,7S4 over Parker.
One circumstance signally favored the cOnsumma-
ton of the swndle. The treacherous failure of the
Legislature in 1856 to make adequate provision for
the enlargement of the Canals rendered the duty
imperative upon their Republican successors, as
the true and consistent friends of the public works,
to impose greatly increased rate of taxation for
that purpose. The ratio for the years 1856 and
1857 respectively, the net proceeds of the tax and
the disposition made of the money, are all shown
by the following table:

Il
But, to return to the Hon. Lyman Tremain.
Considering his antecedents, it was but reasonable
to suppose that he would prove himself " so clear
- in his great Office" that not only would no
charge of plumber, but that breath of suspicion
would ever come near his immaculate person.
Besides, Mr.. Tremain is great constitutional
lawyer, or, at least, he pretends to be; and the
Constitution of this State provides Cart. s. sec. ~
that " The Attorney General shall, at stated times,
during his continuance in Office, receive for bis
:" services compensation which shall not be in
" creased or diminished during the term for which
" he shall have been elected: nor shall he receive,
90 to his use, any fees, or perqusites of office, or
" other compensation" 1t would be difficult to
select language to declare clearly that the At
torney General shall not receive one dollar more
than his salary from the public treasury, or from
any other quarter whatever The Revised Statutes,
fifth edition, Vol. |, p. sos, contain these words:
g There shall be allowed to the Attorney General
" trO thousand dollars, instead of the compensation,
90 fees, and perqusites now allowed by law" Yet,
it was notorious in Albany last Winter that Dir.
official term, to extract from the treasury several
thousand dollars more than the law allowed
him. We have heard the amount placed as high
as eight thousand dollars, and also that over two
thousand dollars paid to him to his socalled
partner for going TO Richmond County to attend
the examination of the parties charged with burn
ing the Quarantine buildings in September, 1853.
The last performance OF this kind which has hap
pened to come to our knowledge, is the modest
claim of 800 for assisting the Disrict-Attorney of
Albany County in the trial of the murderess Har
tung which, as the trial lasted only four or five
DAYS is, of course at the rate of one hundred dol
lars day, or Whereabouts, for his official services.
Perhaps Gov. Morgan will consent to tell us what
success this raid upon the treasury met with. We
dismiss Mr.. Treman by advising him and his Dem.
ocratc colleagues to stop stealing, and, so far as
possible, to curb their propensity to defame men
more honest than themselves.
