A VERY MEAN CHARGE.-The. Washington
correspondent of the Courier and Enquirer
makes false and silly statement, to the effect
that Bennett Of the HERALD was paid up
wards of two hundred dollars out of the con-
tingent expenses of Congress last year, for
HERALDs furnished to members of the special
session of Congress, which lasted only ten days;
and adds that the joke of the thing is, that
ninety dollars of the amount was paid for per-
sons who were not members of that Congress
at all. Now, the rule is, that members of Con-
gress are allowed to take a certain number of
papers every session, for which Congress pays,
in order to keep them posted in the affairs Of
the country. They order them from the Clerk
of the House, or the Secretary Of the Senate,
and select what papers they choose-the
HERALD, or Tribune, or Courier, whichever best
suits them, the bills for which are made out and
paid at the end of the session. We never send
the HERALD to any one but those whose names
are forwarded to us by the Clerk, and they
have all been members of Congress. If the
Clerk has charged 800 against fictitious
names, that is matter for Mr.. Allen to
settle with Congress itself. We have nothing
to do with It. The Courier's correspondent
must know the law governing this matter as
well as we do-that is, if any one in Congress
thinks the Courier worth reading and with
that knowledge, to make such charge, is
meanness most contemplate.

MORE FNANCIERING A La COBB-By refe-
renee to to-day's money article, it will be seen
that the Secretary of the Treasury has pitched
upon so unfortunate day to open the
bids for his new 100000 of Treasury
notes that bidders will have to make their de-
posts three days in advance. As, moreover,
many people leave town on the Saturday be-
fore Christmas, the bids will probably be much
fewer than they would have been had the Sec
rotary selected Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
OF saturday for opening the bids. In word,
Mr. Conb has just chosen the very worst day
OF the week for his work, and the chances are
that ms biunder will cost the United States
per cent on the loan-say $4,000 $4,000.
SO much for financiering by Georgia lawyers.

The EFFECT OF THE LATE UNION MEETING
From all quarters we are receiving intelligence,
both public and private, of the effect through
out the country Of the great Union meeting
held in this city on Monday last Ithas stirred
up the right spirit everywhere; and we have
received numerous inquiries as to what ought
to be done to sustain this national movement;
and the chief anxiety Of our correspondents is
to know all about the nomination of Scott and
Houston as President and Vice President for
the campaign Of the coming year.
We publicly reply to these letters, by advis-
ing all Union men, no matter what they have
been hitherto called-all who want to prevent
the breaking up Of this confederacy and the
destruction of its great interests, North and
South, East and West-to form Union associa-
lions, and to hold Union meetings, at which
they will nominate Scott and Houston, and
pronounce in strong resolutions in favor of the
constitutional rights of the South. The demo-
cratic party is rotten, tainted in the North with
abolitionism, and in the South with the disunion
sentiment; it is demoralized and corrupt, and
can do nothing to avert the danger which
threatens the country, but, on the contrary, is
principal cause Of it. The republican party is
reasonable in its language and designs, and is
more directly instrumental in bringing about
such disastrous condition of our political af-
fairs. Both parties must be crushed by the
overwhelming weight of public opinion, and
by organization all over the land for the con-
sentative and Union ticket, which will work q
complete revolution at the polls breaking
down the depraved existing organizations with
as complete defeat as that in which Andrew
Jackson and his white braves overthrow the
British power at New Orleans, or that in which
General Scott whipped the Mexicans at Vera
Cruz, at Cerro Gordo, and behind the ramparts
of their capital.

SOUTHERN SECEssIoN--AND THEN The or
gans Of the Southern people, in Congress and
out, on the stump and in the press, are unani-
nous in declaring that in the event of the cleo
ton of Seward as President they will secede
from the Union. How is this to be done? BY
raising an army Of hundred thousand men,
and then organizing government for South
ern confederacy. Suppose that Mr. Seward
were elected, and the South had taken this
course, what could he do? The trade of the
North would be broken up, if not altogether
destroyed. There would be panics, distrust,
desolation, and finally civil war. The Presi-
dent would not only be powerless against the
South, but he would find the North in rebel
lion. The federal government would be just
no government at all; and while the South
would present united front against it. the
North could give it no material aid. Probably
the executive would have its hands more than
full with the work Of putting down the North

ART AND IT'S PATRONs.-FrOm the report of
the proceedings at the auction sale, which ap-
pears in another column, it will be seen that Mr.
Barbees beautiful statue Of the 'Fisher Girl"
was yesterday disposed of for the shamefully
low sum Of $3.50. If the work was worth a
cent 1t was worth five thousand dollars (mini-
mum estimate), and the sale that has been made
of it can only be regarded in the light of
sacrifice enforced by the necessities of the
sculptor. In the hands of Mr.. Derby, who can
afford to keep it until he gets his price, its
money value has risen in single day to more
than double what that gentleman paid for
it. We are satisfied that if any one were to
offer him five thousand dollars for his bargain
he would at once refuse it. There is one great
consolation for the sculptor in this disappoint-
ment What he may have lost pecuniarily he
has gained in fame by this exposure of his
work. It was universally conceded yesterday,
by competent judges, to be superior to any pro-
duction Of the kind that has ever been brought
under the hammer here. When Mr.. Barbee has
another statue to dispose of he may restassure
that he will have no difficulty in finding a
purchaser for it. The discriminating collectors
who were afraid to touch his chef d'euure be-
cause he had not a reputation of market
currency will be glad enough by and bye
to give him his own prices. The humiliation
Of yesterday is one of the penalties which
genius has to pay for name. Let Mr.. Barbee
not be cast down or discouraged; he will soon
be in position to take his revenge on the in
difference of those pretended patrons of art
who can only detect merit when it is endorsed
by dealers and presented to them with the sur
charge of stiff commission.
TEIEGRAPmC COMMUNICATION WITH THE Pa
CIrIC SHoRE.-The time is fast approaching
when we shall have direct telegraphic COM
munication with California; and the news from
that region, which is often of the highest COM
mercial Importance, and which now takes TWEEN
ty-eight days to reach New York by the overland
mall and about twenty by the isthmus, will be
flashed along the wires every hour. Last fall
telegraphic lines were actively being con-
structed westward from st. Louis, and are now
considerably advanced by way Of Fort
Smith to Los Angeles, California, where it will
connect with line running from San Fran
cisco; and another from ST. Louis by way of
Atchison to Salt Lake City. Arrangements have
now been made by the Western Union Tele-
graph Company for carrying forward tcle-
graph line from st. Louis to San Francisco.
Three hundred miles Of this line are already
completed west Of st. Louis, on the route of
the overland mail, and two hundred and

The Call for the Republican National

Conventton-Taking the Back Track.
The ''call for the National Convention of
the republican party, which we publish to-day,
is very remarkable manifesto. 1t was the
result of great labor and much yibulation. It
is brief; but it embodies volume of matter
in regard to recent political events and disclo-
sures, and touching the present alarming and
threatening crisis of the slavery agitation, and
the movements afoot for the organization of
new Presidential party upon national plat
form.
After designating the time and place for the
meeting Of the National Republican Conven-
ton, the authorized committee of said party
call upon " the republican electors of the seve-
raj states, the members Of the peoples party
OF pennsylvania, and Of the opposition party
OF New jersey and all others who are willing
to cooperate with them in support of the can
didates which shall there be nominated - Sc
&c, to send delegates to said convention. Now
this is liberal; but the peoples party Of Penn

will be apt, also, to extort such candidate or
platform as will drive the radical anti-slaverv
men from the camp, and entail a loss of half
dozen other States, in this effort to save New
Jersey and Pennsylvania

about these two conservative States is evident
