on account OF Pc recent award Of 81 100000 Of
the loan of 1858, the balance does not vary much.
Itstood yesterday at $9ol0569 against s. e5l ,l23
at the close Of the last week. Next week the
Sub-Treasury will receive the balance Of the
award-say 5000 900; but, as the Post Office APP
preparation bill will probably pass both houses
and become a law by Wednesday, it is expected
that two or three millions may be disbursed before
the close of the week in redemption Of Post Office
certificates. Other demands from Washington and
from the West are also expected at the Sub rea-
sury here 50 that Notwithstanding the heavy re-
ceipts for duties, the balance will probably fall
pretty low.

High Taxes.

While our people are complaining OF
the exhorbitsnt taxesdrawn annually from
their pockets to support the luxury aud
ease Of their servants at Madison, in sup
plying them with fine cushioned chairs,
mahogany furniture, and Brusssls carpets,
perhaps their eyes would open little wi
der on looking at the unnecessary expen-
ses which they are also called upon to
foot for the recklessness and misman-
agement of some OF their officers nearer
home. We agree with the Madison Jour-
nal when it says that the people SHOULD
look to the repositories of their petty leo
called) trusts, and from the pashmaster
and justice of the peace to the town clerk
and county supervisors, select only such
men whose characters will afford a suffi-
cient guarantee Of faithful administration
of their duties. Let them lop off all I'M
necessary town and county expenditures,
and resist all innovations upon their inter
ests by idlers, loafers and Office seekers,
and reject as unfit for any position those
who seek to quarter upon the public for
subsistence and relief from the regulations
of labor.

Terrible Loss OF LIFE-The Ameri-
can ship Flora Temple Of Baltimore,
was wrecked in the China Sea in October
last, by striking on reef She sailed
from Macao FOR Havana tn the Sth of Oc-
tober, with cargo of Coolies. Soon after
a mutiny broke out, bat it was suppressed
by the prompt use Of Reyovers. Before
the excitement, however, had subsidized,
the vessel struck reef in the China Seas,
and CONSERVATION seized the crew and
Coolies. The ship could not be extricated
and eighteen Europeans and eight hundred
and fifty Coolies persisted. Not one Of
the latter on board escaped. Thirty
of the crew reached Touran in boat, af.
ter enduring great suferings for thirteen
days. Another boat containing eighteen
more was never heard from. The dsas-
ter, so terribly destructive to human life,
furnishes another strong reason for the
abolition of trade, only second in infamv
to the African slave trade.

Thu Irish Democracy.

The Detroit Guraida is the title Of y
new paper recently established at Detroit
by THOMAS CHARLES FITzGIBBos, and de-
voted 10 the interests Of the Irish Democ-
racy. It is an ably conducted sheet, and
we have been much entertained in reading
the columns of No. 2, for which we are
indebted to the Kindness of friend. Ia
answering the oft-repeated charge that
our Irish fellow. citizens vote tn Demo
cratic ticket through cianaishness, the ed
itor makes the following remarks, and we
call particular attention to the latter part
Of the article:
Setting aside the many earnest and
truthful ssseverations made by Irishmen
with pen and tongue in this land, to prove
that no more conservative or liberty loving
people than these badly abused Irish are
to be found in this Republic, let US ask
where an Irishman ever attempted to tear
plank from the constitution, star from
our banner, or behaved uHfaithful to the
trusts imposed upon him 2
For forty years or moro we have chung,
fearlessly and faithfully, to the democrat
ic party and to our unwavering attach
ment to the principles enunciated by JEFF
ferson and sanctifed by Jackson, may be
traced many of the foul wrongs we have
been charged with by the orators and wri
ters of iilibera American Republicans for
years past.
With all the faults that the Democracy
ia now said to he tainted with, faults which
can and mast be remedied and healed
within itself, we feel neither timidity nor
bashfuness in declaring our attachment to
it. We have acted with it IN the past and
we are proud Of the retrospect. Despite
tho threats of employers, the oily promises
of politicians, we have chung to and sup
ported it. We may he wrong, but if we
were wrong the legislators who have ruled
and swayed the destinies Of this nation for
the past fifty years were wrong, for we
supported them. If we are TO be branded
as cannish for supporting Jefferson, Jack
son, and other great spirits of the past,
Massachusetts and other northern States
must have been clonnish, for they went
against them. If these patriots and states
men were wrong, we were and are wronL;
II right, we were ard are right, and deserve
your praise other than your censure OF
your sneers. If successfully conducting
two national wars in which our adopted
country has been involved since the
acknowledgment Of her independence,
be set down to the credit side of the Re
public, we claim share. for while our
votes and voices were cast in support Of
the great party that waged and conducted
them, he sea and land was receiving, in
no stinted measure, the blood exudel from
the clqnnish Irish heart shed in their ho
half But while we are thus ula}terably
attached to the principles and pIerepts of
the Democratic party, while We are ready
to make all reasonable sacrifices for its
maintenance and support, we do, and
will protest against being made the mere
tools Of leaders, whose only claim to the
suffrages Of the democratic masses Is that
they have been fed and fattenel at the
stall of party favoritism since the day they
were cut loose from their r1othor'a aprons.

Commons, requesting their attendance at
the opening of the session. as business Of

The leaders Of the respectiue parties had
also issned invitations 10 the customary
dinners which are given prior to the As
sembling of Parliament.
The two mates Of the American bark
Anna, previously reported under arrest
upon the charge of having caused the
death of six colored seamen by cruel
treatment, had been brought up before
the magistrates at Newport, Isle of Wight.
Evidence of great cruelty was adducsd,
but it is asserted for the defence that the
men died of yellow fever.
The American Minister having sent
protest against the Jurisdiction Of the
Court, the magistrates had to dismiss the
charge. This protest was accompanied
by request that the magistrates would
detain tho defendants until the matter
could be enquired into by the American
Consul. so that they could be RENTED to
their own country, under the extrsdition
treaty. The magistrates concluded that
they could not hold the accused without
forma! requisitien, and they were sccor-
dinghy discharged.

While at Oshkosh few days since, we
had the pleasure Of Witnessing theatrical
performance, the proceeds Of which were
to be devoted to aid in the purchase of an
organ for st. Peters Church, and we con-
fess our agreeable surprise at the manner
in which the several performers-al anna
teurs-scquitted themselves. And origi
nal drama-7He Jctcess-was performed
with that skill and good taste which would
put to shame many of the "stars" that fre-
quently humbug western people. But the
comedy Of the Irish Enaigrant" was the
GROWING feat. During the performance
of this half serous, halfcoTnic piece, the
large audience was convulsed with laugh
ter, which found no relief until the curtain
dropped.
Those amateurs who so highly pleased
us and vast coucourse Of the ladies' and
gentlemen of Oshkosh, are members Of St.
Peters Irish Cstholic) Church, and to
say that they drew warm applause is bat
giving them trihe Of the prise which
they receiued. Messrs. Brennan, LEAvY,
and MoNAHAS, and Miss KEENAN,, perform
ed their parts particularly well. The
whole affair was well got up, and carried
out to the credit Of its originators.
