ALBANY CHIEFS.

The utterance of little truth in modest
manner would seem to be the true receipt fcr
creating n sensation. Whether this is because OF
the rarity of that article, or for some other
reason. | will not undertake to determine. In
giving an account Of the reception of the doings oil
the Chicago Convention at Washi' gton, it never
occurred to me that was doing anything which
could offend the most sensitive My aim was to
give no one the least cause of offense. Bnt the
simple narrative and reflections Of which that
account was composed, caused my arraignment
by name as guilty of " false preteases.' de-
Tended self from the charge by some further
observations of a general character, VIGOROUSLY
true in oil intelligent p tIcal circles; and for this
i om now assailed as slanderer of Mr.. Seward.
A mo6e man might well be deferred from making
any remarks whatever in public manner, in vie@
of these attacks for the utterancc of sentiments,
the expression of which in private circles is so
common as to make them trite.
The Albany Erening Journal makes the following
remarks in reply TO my allegations that corrupt
band of politicians backed Mr.. Stewards nomina
ton for the Presidency, and aimed to obtain the
lead of the Republican party:
During public life Of thirty Gov Seward pesonil
reputation has been pot stain There not ct this

If this is the only answer that can be made 10
what have ssid The Journal might better have held
ts tongue. ! have made 10 charges against Mr.
Seward. and The JoarRoi knows il. Not to answer
my allegations, but to pervert them, only discloses
a conscious weakness that should have forbidden
all attempts at reply. Ii is the cheapest sort OF
defense to put forward Mr.. Stewards personal IN
tegrty, which 10 man, in any quarter, has ever Jet
impugned But, "a it seems The Journal had moth
ng better to offer in response than such misrep-
eseptation, it will have to he excused on the
ground that it did the best it could should be
perfectly content not to add word of comment,
but that the attempt to lasten charge of SANDER
Dc Mr.. Seward upon me cannot be allowed to go
upobseryed and unrebuked. What i have said,
none understands better than The Journal, without
further specification, ard none knows better how
entirely untrue are its own imputations.

TIE CENsuS.

1t is unfortunate that Congress could not have
found time to give little attention TO the census
in progress, and that the present enumeration
of the inhabtants and the collection Of statistics
should go upon the same series of schedules upon
which the last census was taken.
TIE returns of that census embraced great
deal too much-at least, great deal more than it
was possible TO accomplish by means of such cen
sus-takers IA were appointed under that act. The
schedules were differently understood in different
places whence great confusion and uncertainty
in many Of the returns. A great many Of the
questions put required Of the citizens an expos-
ton of their private affairs such as many men
might be unwilliDg and still more unable, to give
The questions, which were drawn up, we believe
by some sort Of a statistical commission appointed
Tor that purpose, seem to have been framed alto
gether too much on the principle of asking every
tliig which one would like to know, with too lit
tie attention to the chance of obtaining answers at
all, or, where they were given, answers that could
be at all relied upon.
For several decades the census embraced nothing
but bare enumeration of the number of the in
habtants. Even the classification into ages was
quite limited. Such an enumeration might per-
haps be well enough entrusted to the United
States Marshals and such assistants as they might
appoint. Under the present system, the taking
the census is very complicated piece Of business,
requiring special qualifications, ofwbich the Mar
shals may not always be judges; and the appoint
ments are too apt TO be given out according to a
system of mere political iayortism, often with
very insufficient attention to the possession of the
Necessary qualifications. Possibly, Congress may
have been deferred from endeavoring to improve
upon former methods by modest appreciation of
ITS own limited qualifications for such business,
but 1t would have been easy 10 turn it over 10 a
commission Of qualified persons.
An Improvement at least We may hope for upon
the last census, if not in the method of taking the
retuns at least in the speed of reducing them to
order and promptiiude in laying the results before
the public We trust that, contrary to the expe-
rience of the last census, tho returns will not be
suffered to become antiquatcd before they are pub
lfhed.

The Republicans in Congress have fallen into a
trap which they ought to have foreseen and avoided
Before securing the passage of any of the great
measures which justly excite theic selicitude they
passed through the House an unqualified joint re-
solve to close the session on the 18th inst. They
thus place themselves completely in the bands of
the Democratic majority of the Senate. 0fcourSe,
the Senate defeats the Homestead bill, refuses to
admit Kansas resolves to kill the Tariff bill, and
then-concurs in the House joint resolve to ad-
journ on the 18th So we are to have the Appro-
priatiOns passed and nothing else, unless there
stall prove to be strength and nerve in the House
to attach the Kansas bill as an amendment to the
Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation bill, and hold it
there to the end. The probability now is that
every benefcent measure of the Session will be
defeated.

preseDt exists could ever have accumulated. The
sureties Of Mr.. Fowler may reasonably say that
they signed the bond in the expectation that the
Government would exercise all due diligence in
protecting itself against loss and that, having
failed TO do so, aud not merely that, but in failing to
do so having encouraged Mr. Fowler to go on from
quarter to quarter increasing the deficiency, 1t
is wholly unreasonable for the Government nov
to turn round and to insist that the saretes shall
mase up loss which grew out Of the neglect and
carelesspess, il not 10 fact the connivance. of its
own agents. In this view of the case the snreties
might be liable for whatever amount Mr. Fowler
may have been short on bis first quarterly state
ment, but beyond that their responsibility would
not extend. Mr.. Fowler, it appears was oay
able TO close up the accounts Of any quarter by
being allowed credit for that purpose out OF the
moneys paid into the Sob-Treasury from the pro-
ceeds Of the ensuing quarter. Such state OF
things must have betrayed at glance the fact OF
his deficiency. If, as tho Sixth Auditor alleges,
the indulgence granted to Mr.. Fowler was accord
il to the long established usage of the office, this
may relieve tho Auditor from the suspicion oil
favoritism and cOnnivabce, but it still leaves the
Government 10 the predicamoDt OF having failed 10
use due diligence. If any such usage exists, 1t Is
nothing short Of temptationts embezzlement, and
oupht at once to be abandoned.

FRIDAY, JUNE 8, 1860.

The Mass Meeting of the Republicans OF our City
a, Cooper Institute last evening to respond to the
nomination Of LINCOLN and HAMLIN was COM
handing in force and unbounded in enthusiasm
The Three Thousand packed at once into the great
Hall were but a fraction of this immense outpour-
of the People. Ward professions with torches and
banners were continually arriving till after Q clock
that of the Rail.Splitters' Battalion was pecu-
lisrly graceful and effective However it may have
been with one or two Of the speakers the vast uu-
ditory, whether within or without the building, was
not at all lugubrious in spirits, but buoyant, ex-
ultant, confident of victory, and assured that the
right men had been nominated to secure it, There
have been few larger meetings held in this City by
any party; there was never one which evinced more
enthusiasm, or was more fitted to inspire it, Our
City viii give more votes this Fall for Abraham
Lincoln than she ever yet gave for any candidate
opposed to the Sham Democracy. Every day brings
its accessions to our ranks; and if Douglas shall be
beaten at Baltimore, we shall confidently hope to
carry the City. In that case, the Republican ma
iority in the State viii exceed the widest estimate
yet made. Every thing presages an overwhelming
victory for the Right.

year ago, or thereabouts, the ship Rebecca,
Capt. Carter, was chartered by the American Col
onzatiOn Society to take from New-Orleans to
Liberia the liberated slaves Of the late John Me-
DOnoUgb. In due season. she arrived at that Col
oDy, where she does not seem to have met with Il
very hearty welcome. Whether the captain
thought it would be good speculation to carry
some Of Mr.. McDoDoughs slaves to Cuba to aid in
Outstanding that Island does not appear, but it
is certain he asked for clearance at the Custom
House before the negroes were landed, aud was
refused on that very ground. A rumor, moreover,
had got abroad that there was on board the
Rebecca one slave in particular, bright
muatto girl, about eighteen years of age, tolcrably
fair-ooking named sarah, whom il was the Cap
tain's intention TO retain; and the impression had
become general-possibly, so far as she was con-
cerDed, an nconsequentia conclusion-that he
meant to make q slave Of her, inasmuch as it was
observed that his vessel vas well fitted to take

who believes that Fowler was The only black sheep
in the f. cks We, certainly, do no, We believe
that, while many Postmasters are upright and
faithful, great many are quite otherwise, and
that Millions have been distracted by them from
the funds in their ha DIS belonging TO the Treasury.
II one Postmaster could steal even 1856, 900, q
thousand rogues among our forty Thousand Post
masters may very probably have stolen Five Mil
lions. If the Postmaster General virtually admits
that his .ubordiDates mby steal for years without
detection, is not this fsir presumption Why
does he not tell us what safeguards exist if any,
against deialca.ions in other Post Offices proper
torally ns great as that just discovered in ours!
We do not know whether the accounting officers
of the Post or those of the Treasury are
culpable in the premises; but it does seem that
there must have been collision with Fowler some
where outside Of his own office. His accounts
have been transmitted quarterly to Washington:
some one there must have known that they we're
not properly balanced. If the President aud the
Postmaster General would be held acquitted Of all
personal blame in the premises, they must deter
mine who is the culpuit, and let the great ak
fall" Nothing short Of this will satisfy the just
demands of the public. And then LET them tell
us what other Pestmasters' accounts exhibit edges
az ragged as those of Mr.. l. v. Fowler, and what
Congress shall do to weed the service Of such men
