hind that if man falls overheard on Mon

of this opinion, he refers us to the well
known anecdote connected with CAPTAIN
Pompous Of the lrigate Washtub. One eve
ming when running up the Mediterranean
under one horse breeze, Pompous came on
deck just before sundown and entered into
the following conversation with Mr. Smile,
the first lieutenant:
Il heard Il little noise on deck Just now,
Mr.. Smile. What was the cause OF it?'
y man fell from the foIeyard sir"
Without saying another word, the Captain
returned to the cabin, and was not seen again
until the next morning after breakfast, when
he oEce more refreshed the deck with his
presence, and entered into conversation with
the lieutenant

The wiugenstein Case in the Senate.

On Thursday, this case was finally dispos-
ed of as follows:
Mr. Shafter, from a Special Committee
made the following report
Mr.. President The Committee to whom
was referred the resolution of the Assembly
requesting the Senate t. discharge 5. Witt
genstein, an attache Of the Senate, from the
public service, beg leave to report that they
have taken all the testimony which they have
deemed expedient, and all that has been fur
nished them, and that having duly considered
the same have arrived at the following con-
clusions:
First--That said Wittgenstein is not, and
has not been an attache of the Senate, over
whom the Senate has any direct control, but
that he is hired copyst employed by the
Secretary of the Senate. This fact, however
important it may have been thought else
where, the Committee do not deem essential,
as we should not hesitate to recommend en-
forcing the dismissal of the accused bv opera
ting directly upon the Secretary of the SEN
ate, did we consider the circumstances de-
manded his removal
Second-The Committee are unable to find
from the testimony that said Wittgenstein
endeavored to obtain money from one Me-
Cauley for the purpose indicated in the As
sembly resolution. We do however find that
he told Mr.. McCauley in substance that the
Chairman of the Committee on Claims of said
Assembly was purchasable, and that he was
in the habit of reporting upon claims from
improper motives; but we think that neither
the motive to receive money himself, nor to
cause money to be paid to said Chairman. is
proved 1t is quite apparent that no such
motive can be found without likewise finding
full completely between said Wittgenstein and
said Chairman-a result to which we do not
feel authorized to arrive ueless upon full and
satisfactory proof. We are constrained to
iiud further, that the reputation of the party
indicated by Wttgensten's declaration was
in accordance to such declaration and we
further think that under the circumstances
and in view Of the Contingencies" to which
all the parties seemed to have addressed
themselves, that the passage of the accom-
panying is the only proper action
on the part of the Senate. We further beg
to state we have retained the testimony upon
which we have 0cled believing that no good
purpose would be subserved by spreading the
same upon the records of this body.

COLONIZING THE BLACKS.

1t is probable that Congress, at its approach.
ing session, will place means in the hands Of
the President for the colonization in Hayti,
and elsewhere, Of such of our colored people
as may desire to emigrate. Such measure
seems to be demanded by the new exigencies.
AT it would only contemplate the aiding o.
voluntary emigration, it would be desired by
the blacks, while it would quiet any sensitive.
ness in relation to too sudden and great in.
crease ofour free negro population. No ques-
ton of constitutionality can be raised, as the
war power covers the case. ..-..t t.
OF course, large discretion must be left to
the President as to the place, or places, to be
colonized. Available places are numerous aud
not remote. Hayti alone would perhaps be
able to receive all the colonists who would
offer themselves.
The expense would not be formidable. From
military "Hnes" established near Charleston,
Savannah, Mobile, New Orleans, &C., into
which the contraband negroes would flock,
they might be "sluiced off" to St. Domingo,
or Central America, with great rapidity and
economy.
This isupon the supposition that it becomes
necessary to carry this war to the Gulf, as must
be the case if the traitors continue obstinate.
But even if the war terminates with the paciG.
cation of Virginia. the number of negroes de-
string to be colonized must be large enough to
require national interposition.

PAPER MONEY CONFISCATION.

At meeting, June I, at Atlanta, Georgia, J
of representatives of nearly all the Southern
railroads, it was agreed to receive for fares and
freight, the treasury notes of the Confederate
States.
Many of the banks had already agreed to
receive and pay out the same notes as currency.
The policy is, tp make them the common cir
culating medium of the seeded region. In no
possible event have they any intrinsic value.
Even if the Confederacy establishes its indie.
pendence these notes will be left unpaid, like
the old continental money. In addition to the
separate debts Of the several States, the Con.
federacy, not yet six months old, has authorized
II debt OF sixty-Gve millions, a sum upon which
the secedGd region, reduced as it is to utter
poverty can never pay the interest. And this
sum must be increased as the war goes on.
Government paper money, never intended to
be redeemed, is only another form of taxation
and coniscation. And it is the most searching
and comprehensive Of all the forms by which
the property of nations is converted to the use
of their ruers. Nothing escapes it. To refuse
this paper money, is punished as treason. Ev.
cry mau who has spare horse, or mule, or
beef creature, or bushel Of grain, or anything
available for the army, must turn it out, and
take treasury notes. Soldiers must take their pay
in treasury notes. Railroads must transport

Of Cumberland, on Wednesday morning, afle'

Marylanders, seems to be we'll authenticated.
If the last report from Grafton is correct, the

and very destructive to the assailants.
Our information tends to create the belief,
that the rebel force recently driven from Rom.

turned there with reinforcements of troops
heretofore stationed at Harper's Ferry, and
that it is this force, thus reinforced, which has
