twenty hours, a part of the journey per-

DEPARTMENTAL ACcouNTABilLTY.--A dis
patch of the New York Herald, under
date of Washington. August 30, says:
Great CONSERVATION prevails among all
parties having accounts to settle with the
Departments, occasioned by the strin-
gency with which the auditing rules are
applied at the Treasury. Foreign minis
tiers, consuls, contractors and disbursing
officers in all branches of the public SER
vice, and marshals, postmasters and col
lectors are all in the same boat. Suspi-
cions have long been abroad that large
sums are constantly distracted from the
public purse by means of fraudulent
forced or stretched vouchers, and some
of them are now being verified. Fabu-
lous sums are demanded and avouched
for under heads of clerk hire, copying
translating, ETC., not auditable.
The President is determined to hold all
officers accounts to the strictest scrutiny,
and where frauds are attempted, to re-
ject the claims and prosecute the Offend
ers. Proofs accumulate in various cases
not mentionable. This process is to be
retroactive, and occasions many absen-
tees amongst those who have had ac~
counts adjusted during the reign of the
present Administration. The President
has been importuned in vain. He bland
ly informs his friends that he doubts not
that they will get all they are entitled to-,
but does not interfere with the duties OF
the Auditor.

A Black Republicans Opinion of
DOUGLAS,

The Republic-the organ of the Black
Republicans at Washington-gives its
opinion, briefly but clearly, of Douglas
last effort for the Presidency. We fully
agree with our contemporary that, in his
efforts to swindle both sections of the
Union of their votes, the little dema-
gogue has failed on both, and will find
himself, in the end, "sitting down be-
tween two chairs"
Here is the Republics opinion, and we
consider it very sensible one:
"THE DOUGLAS DocTRINE.-The only
thing like consistent theory that we
can climate from the late disquisition of
Judge Douglas on the subject of "Popu-
lar Sovereignty in the Territories" is
this:
"The Constitution establishes slavery
in the Territories, but subject to the pow
er to control it through their Territorial
| legislatures. Hence, in the absence of
any legislation on the subject by the Ter
ritorial Legislature, stakeholder would
have constitutional right to take his slaves
into the Territory and hold there. But
this would be mere abstract right, with
out any remedy for its infringement; for
he holds that the courts can afford no
protection to slave property until the
Territorial Legislature shall pass laws
providing remedies, and imposing pen
alties, and comforting jurisdiction upon
the courts, to hear and determine cases as
they may arise" The mere refusal of
the Legislature, therefore, to pass laws
providing such remedies. and comforting
such jurisdiction on the courts, will ope-
rate as a practical exclusion of slavery,
although the constitutional right to hold
slaves will exist.
''lf this is not fair statement of the
doctrine advocated by Judge Douglas,
we shall be greatly obliged to any one
who shall point out its error 1t is a
doctrine which will not be likely to find
much favor either in the North or in the
South.
"The North will never accept doc
trine, which admits that the Constitution
establishes slavery anywhere, in any
sense whatever, or recognises its eXis-
! tence anywhere, except as a State institu'
| ton. existing in State "under the laws
thereof" wholly independent Of Federal
authority.
"The South will be as little disposed to
accept doctrine, which, while it admits
/ their constitutional right to take slaves
into the Territories, denies any power tc
enforce and protect that right.
"The distinguished Senator will proba
bly, find himself, in the end, ''sittins
down between two shares"

Carry Me Back.

The day was gone, and the night was dark,
And the bowling winds went by,
And the binding sleet fell thick and fast
From the stern and stormy sky,
When mournful wall through the rushing gale,
Was heard at the cottage door
0! carry me back-0! carry me back
To my mothers home once more.
He had wandered far and long;
lie had drain'd the goblet's fiery tide,
AT the festa midnight throng.
But dream of hope came over his heart,
As he crcpt to the cottage door
o carry me back-O carry me back
To my mothers home once more.
I have left the hall of the tcmpters power,
And the rcyel wild and high
They cared not in their reckless mirth
If l wandered alone to die.
Doth the fire still burn on the household hearth,
BY the elm tree old and hoar?
0 carry me back-O carry me back
To my mothers home once more.
Like a weary bird that has wandered long,
| will seek my mothers nest,
And lay this aching head once more
On my gentle mothers breast.
Once more will seek the household hearth
By the elm tree old and hoar--
o carry me back-O carry me back
To my mothers home once more
OWNED BY A WIrE.-The New York Ex-
press thus comments on the experience
''owned by tip-top fashionable wife:"
Happy, indeed, are the husbands who
are not owned by Tip top fashionable
wife," but, if they are thus owned, and in
clined to rebel or act out revolution,
they must retreat, and diplomatic with
all the skill and craft of Talleyrand or a
Chesterfield. If you don't believe your
wife owns you. just try it. Even her weak
ness is her strength: and man who would
fight man like IL hero, at score of Sol
ierinos, lading a forlorn hope, jumping
bitches, scaling high walls, with death
certain before him, will come down like a
bird shot on the wing, even when a wo
man but weeps! There is more power in
such weapons than in any army with BAN
ners. Own yourself indeed A man may
fancy he does; but fancy isn't fact, and the
truth is, his wife owns him. How is il
with you, reader? If for the first time
made aware of your servitude and owner,
don't make fuss about it, but submit
gracefully, and thank your stars that you
have so wise, discreet, and tolerant a
master.

CorToN CRoP.-A gentleman, says the
Memphis Bulletin, who has spent the
past three months in travelling through
North Alabama, West Tennessee, and
North Mississippi, and who is a very close,
intelligent and accurate observer informs
us that the falling off in the cotton crop
in these regions from the general esti-
mate adopted some six weeks since, will
be at least thirty-three per cent The
rust, boll-worm, and other casualties Incl
dent to cotton, are making sad havoc with
it. The under bolls are at present in
most peril from the ravages of the worm.
The upper bolls may do something to
make up the loss if frost should delay
In some particular localities the yield will
exceed that of last year, but few of these
exceptions to the general state of the
crops are to be found. The gentleman
referred to thinks that the increase in the
receipts at this place over that of last
year will amount twenty-five thousand
bales. Other persons estimate the eamount
at a larger figure.
REsIGNArIoN.-The New York Tribune
of the 18th says:
DR.. Taney recently eloped with the
wife of Baptist deacon, in Knox coun-
ty, Ohio. She left three children, one an
infant. He left five. The day before
they eloped, the Doctor took his wife
and her infant on a visit to his brothers,
told her not to come back until the next
evening, and that he would take good
care of the other children in her absence.
When she came home he had been gone
over fourteen hours, and the little ones
were all in tears The bereaved husband
followed the Doctor and his wife to HUI
ron county, where he found the woman
prostrated with illness. Without word
of upbrading, he stayed and nursed her
back to life, then he talked with the Doc
tor and her, and reasoned with them, and
promised to forgive ALL and hide the
facts from the world. To his grief, how
ever, he learned that his wife loved the
Doctor. He therefore expressed his for.
giveness to the recreant woman, and Ger.
tilted in writing that he gave up on con.
ditons that she would marry the object
of her choice as soon as possible, and he
would never modest them. He gave hel
$780, wished the blessing of God to rest
upon her, and then he returned to his
desolate hearth.

James Guthrie and the Presidency.

"
We find rather attractive paragraph
going the rounds of the papers in regard
to the Vaccinations of the Democratic
Albany Regency to bring Mr.. Guthrie on
the track in 1860. 1t is as follows:
SYRACUSE, Sept. IA, p. MI have a
secret to tell you which you are not likely
to learn from any of your other cores
pondents here. The Regency imagine
they have it all to themselves; but they
have traitors in their own camp who play
the same game on them that they play
on others. The secret, then, that has
oozed out is this: Jas. Guthrie, of KY,
Secretary of the Treasury under Pierce,
is the man for Albany. Douglas is drop
ped because his money is all spent. and
Guthrie is taken up because the spoilsmen
believe he can he bled to the tune of half
million of dollars. 1t is believed he is
worth two millions: but this is doubtless
an exaggeration.
He has. however enough to make a
good thing for the butchers of the Reg
ENJOY. 1t is said he cares not 30 much for
money as for honor and if that be so, he
is Just the man to suit them. 1t is for
him that Wise has been victimized, and
Dickinson soon will be. The latter, not
withstanding the treachery of the Regency
to Wise, now gives them his confidence.
He will repent when it is too late, and so
will Guthrie by the time the Albany
harpies have done with him, unless he is
sharper than they are. This is the grand
object in hurrying up the appointment Of
delegates to the Charleston Convention.
The Regency want to bleed Guthrie in
the iuglar vein. They look upon him as
placer.
RyH The Louisville Journal says the
Georgia Democrats are getting very dis
trustful of the old Wings who crept into
their cheese and ate it out to the very
parings. and like the Norwegian rats ex-
terminated all other species. A letter is
in round of publication among the pa
pers of the State, written by "whole
soul Democrat" who is also said to he the
son of a distinguished father Of the same
political faith whose views are also pre-
sumed to be represented, in which the
Hon. Alex. II. Stephens is charged with
aspirations to the United States Senate,
and in severe language denounced as a
"hypocrite' to the public and to other
aspirants for the same position. We have
but little sympathy with Stephens when
a bad boy gets into dissolute company,
the hemp is hackled and spun for his glib
bet: he must either be a suicide or be
strangled by his confederates in some
quarrel over dividing the spois.
