FoRNEY VIOLATING An OFFICIAL TRUsr.-The
report Of the Committee of Investigation, de-
veloping the facts connected with the robbery
of the Indian Trust bonds and the illegal ac-
ceptances Of Mr.. ex.Secretary Of War Floyd,
was presented in the House Of Representatives
last Tuesday. The document, however, was
published the morning Of the same day in the
Philadelphia newspaper owned by Mr.. Forney,
who Is the Clerk Of the House, This is the use
which he makes OF his position, taking advan.
tage of his Office TO get hold Of reports of i'm
portant select committees, and publishing them
to the world before the members Of Congress
have any idea of their contents. This is not
only breach Of faith on the part of the Clerk
of the House, but it is gross outrage on the
confidential character Of his office. The mat
ter should be investigated, for no man is at to
hold that or any other Office under Congress
who has been unfai,hful to the trust reposed in
him.

The New Southern Republic-Its Pro-
gramme aud It's Purposes.

The federative Congress of the seeded
States has organized, in their behalf, an indie
pendent provisional government. This govern
ment is in active operation, and Its proceed
ings thus far afford very little hope Of the re-.
turn Of the seeded States to our Union under
any compromise whatsoever emanating from
our peacemakers at Washington. But still it
h possible that the powerful North, actuated
by prompt and liberal spirit of patriotism,
could not only save all the Southern States we
are in danger Of losing, but recover all that
we have lost.
The trainers Of our federal constitution.
aware that time, experience, the Development
OF the country, Of population, of parties, sec
tons and factions, would call for new compro
misses or violent disruption, provided in two
different ways, for amendments to the supreme
law OF the land. One Of these methods is the
submission Of amendments, by two-thirds vote
of each house Of Congress, to the several States
for ratification; but this work is connected with
the acceptance Of said amendments by three
fourths Of the States. The other method
OF amendment Is by a national convention TO
be called by act Of Congress, on application
for such act by two-thirds Of the Legislatures
OF the several States. But there is third
method-a reserved right Of the people of re.
dressing governmental grievances mode of
redress which may be most City explained in
that one word Of terrific import-rcvolution
This remedy has been precipitated upon the
I" cotton States" and thus they stand this day
before us under a revolutionary government
while oar peacemakers at Washington are de-
batting between concession and coercion.
To all appearances the parties concerned in
this new Southern federal organization have no
expectation and no desire Of return to the
omon. We think, however, that in their adop-

A VERY SI.,,,I - nIFFERENCE-The ss..ockhold-
ers Of the New York Academy-no longer ''the"
Academy-can find good deal of useful infor-
nation in the history Of the present campaign
in this city and Brooklyn. Across the water,
on Wednesday of last week, the Barber of
Seville" an opera which is not quite so new
as it was formerly, was given, and the receipts
amounted to Sl,957. Here, on Monday, bran
new opera by the first composer of the day,
with three prime dome, new mise en- scene, &C.,
was produced, and the receipts were only one
hundred dollars over those OF the Barber at
Brooklyn. The difference is that the stock
holders at Brooklyn pay for their seats, while
here the privileged class take all the best
r,.aces, leaving iae rest TO the paying pubic,
which prefers the Brooklyn arrangement. In
other words, the reserved places in our Acade-
my represent the sole margin Of profit that the
manager can possibly hope for. The Brooklyn
people were wise in cutting off the reserved
seat humbug. They will always be able to let
their theatre readily, not only for the Opera,
but for other purposes; while the Irving place
house enjoys such an immense amount of aris-
tocratic patronage that it will at no distant day
find itself metamorphosed into convenhcle,

antly manifest, shave no compromises to
make" Mr.. Lincoln's late Indianapolis speech
has dispelled all doubts upon that point.
We may therefore safely conclude that
this motley Peace Conference at Wash
ington. and all these impracticable COM
promises discussed in Congress, will end in
smoke. There will be no compromise in ad-
vance Of Mr.. Lincoln's Inauguration, and his
first stroke Of administrative policy will be the
reinforcement of the laws"
He will thus proceed to retake the federal
forts arsenals, &c, seized by the seeded
States, and occupied by their troops Mean
time, the federal government of the seeded
States has taken under its charge the questions
and difficulties existing between them and the
government Of the United States relating to
the occupation of said forts, arsenals, &c; SO
that in the attempt, for example, to regain, by
arms, possession Of Fort Moultrie, Mr. Lin
coins administration is threatened with the
armed resistance of the six seeded States.
Nor is this all; for the Southern States which
have not seeded, with hardly an exception,
have solemnly pledged themselves, in the con-
tingency indicated, to assist the Southern re-
public against the fleets and armies of the
government of the United States.
Thus we perceive that Mr.. Lincoln, in the
oatset of his journey to the White House, has
| foreshadowed the experiment Of the subjuga-
ton by force of arms of the whole South, in
GLIDING white population Of eight millions,
almost every man Of which is trained rifeman'
| Pushed to the wall, the South can ex-
temporize an efficient army Of three hundred
thousand men upon months notice. Against
such force, the qualities of which have been
indicated at Monterey, Buena Vista, Churu
busco and Chapultepec, what would be the
result Of Mr.. Lincoln's policy of subiugation
The enlargement Of the Southern republic tc
the northern boundary of the border slave
States, and treaty of peace with it, under al
irrepressiblc Northern popular reaction, re
| cognizing .he independence of this Southern
| confederacy, or the violent overthrow Of Mr.
Lincoln, his administration and his party.
| Such are the strong probabilities, one way
or the other, of the ensuing twelve months, 6.
foreshadowed by the speeches Of the Presiden
elect on the one side, and by this Southern
confederacy and Southern public opinion or
the other side. The truth is, that Mr.. Lincoln
since his nomination for the Presidency, bu
more especially since his election, has been &C
completely surrounded by the anti-slavery
radicals, fanatics, aunkeys and parasites Of hi
party, that he has been excluded from tn,
wholesome atmosphere of the genuine public
| opinion of the North. We must, therefore, ad
monish the American people to prepare for the
calamitics Of civil war, and for the ruinous
experiment Of military despotism at Wash
ington.

Tar ExTRADrrIoN CASE IN CANDIDATES.
CoRT IN A QuAkDARY.-The case Of the slave
and murderer Anderson terribly distracts and
annoys the Canadian government, Canadian
judges and Canadian people. The struggle be-
tween treaty obligations on one side and incl-
nation on the other is very evident One Ca
madam Court (the Queens Bench) has already
decided that the prisoner ought to be given up.
Instead of the Canadian government carrying
out that judgment promptly, they retain the
accused still in prison till the case is further
complicated by the arrival of a writ of habeas
corpus from England. simultaneously witt
this event a writ of habeas corpus Is issued By
the Canadian Court of Common Pleas, with
view to supersede the English writ The case
came up for hearing on Saturday, and after long
arguments the Court concluded to reserve tho
decision till Saturday next. The counsel for
Anderson urged the point that the commit
ment was informal; and it is stated that by this
side wind and indirection it is intended to get
rid of the merits Of the case, and also to avoid
collision with the English government. But If
the commitment was informal it is very easy
for the counsel acting for the State of Missouri
to have new warrant ready and rearrest the
criminal, if there be really any disposition in
the city of Toronto or on the part of the Cana
dian authorities to fulfil the treaty obligations
to which the British government has pledged
| them.
The legal quibbling about the case is truly
contemplate. 1t is curious feature in it that
the Attorney General Of the province appeared
on Saturday to oppose the discharge of An
derson, whereupon the fanatical anti-slavery,
nigger-worshipping journals of Toronto cover
him with abuse One thing is very clear, and
that is, that whatever way the courts decide
the responsibility will still devolve upon the
British government of surrendcring Anderson,
| according to the terms of the Ashburton
treaty. But we presume the calculation of both
the English and Canadian authorities is, that
the government to be in power at Washington
on and after the 4th of March is not very likely
to give them any trouble on the subject But
if Missouri should join the Southern confede-
racy, as she is very likely to do, the British
government will probably hear more Of the
matter. If they should still refuse the surren-
der of Anderson they may have reason to
regret it. But in our opinion they are far more
likely to crafty the new confederacy by an
act of justice; for cotton is king, and free trade
is the delight Of every British heart.

Served Him Right.

AS Government don't proclaim martial
law, some Of our "martial men" are get
ting in habit Of furnishing rough sub.
stItute therefor. j. II. Hobart Ward. Of
New York, was standing. a day or two
since, on the steps of one Of the hotels in
Washington City, while three of the "cbi-
valry we're engaged in noisy exhibitions
OF their reasonable sentiments. They
cheered first for "Jeff. Davis" and then
for the Southern Confederacy," and the
by ISLANDERS took it good aturedly. En-
couraged and emboldened by their sue
cess, they proposed three groans for the
Government Of the United States. This
Gen. Ward thought unconditional" and
he instantly knocked one fellow down and
started after the other two, who ran. So
the story goes.

Tan Bark for Potatoes.

This subject is brought before the far
mers of England by communication in
the MarkIaud Express.
Mr.. B. Banford claims thirty five years
experience in this matter; and has issued
pamphlet giving his method of using it,
which is briefly stated as follows:
He does not cut his potatoes for setting
but sets them whole; and the largest he
can select. The rows are thirty inches
apart, and the potatoes are put nine inch
es deep; treads the manure firmly in the
furrows, puts in the tubers, and covers
them with tan refuse, nine inches deep in
stead of earthiug. To this way be reports
that in 1859 be raised 6s5 bushels of po-
tatoes not rotten one among them-to
the acre, with nothing but waste tan as a
covering. This is of great importance,
the tan refuse being of little or no value,
and if it be put to so important advanta-
tages as in this case, it should be widely
known and practised.
