have been put in circulation By disloyal
press concerning my conduct in the ar
rest and transfer of William M, Hill to
Fort Lafayette, render brief recital Of
the facts at least proper:
Hill was indicted by the Grand jury
at the last term Of the United States Dis
trict Court for the Western Division of
the District of Iowa, for treason against
the Government. His otfense, as am
informed, consisted in writing letters to
the rebels, of which the following is a
sample:

Editor Onion Democrat, Emioa, Monroe
County, Euyiaia:
Who has brought this dire calamity
upon u.s. Not the conservative men d
the South, nor the conservative voters Of
the North. The demons in the shape Of
Black Republicans and Abolition rulers
have so mislcd the cxcitablc masses Of
| the North by such doctrines as set out il
Uncle Toms Cabin, and such as taught
by Bcecher, Greeley. &c, tina. the fanatics
believe they arc doing Gods service Z
wage war of determination against the
Southern shareholders. Yes, Mr.. Editor
the black hearted fanatics have caused tn,
dark clouds Of war to hang over us, ant
this once peaceful and happy Union to b
deluged with the blood of relatives ant
friends, and the Union destroyed
Conservative citizens in this portion o
the West justify the course the South il
taking, and condemn the Black Repubi
can Administration for waging this un
holy and unjust war upon the South =

rebel declaration of independence" which ~
Tribune doubtless cOnfounds with our own, just
as it mixes up the national and the rebel Con
crosses. "That horrible monster, Greeley"
The Tribune is a. consistent as the Devil m
its wickedness; and by the light of these ex-
tracts it is plain why the Tribune is always
bampsring and hindering our armies, assailing
the President and his generals, and revealing
the Union plans to the enemy, just as itrevealed
and defeated the design to relieve Fort Sum-
ter. "That horrible monster, Greeley" II is
the Tribune's way of assisting the rebellion and
carrying out its ideas of "human liberty" and
the Declaration of Independence, to which il
again refers
from tho Tribune, Dec. IT, 1901
Fit (the Declaration Of Independence) justified the
secession from the British empire OF three millions OF
coloniss in 1776, do not why II would not justify
the secession Of Ave millions OF Southrons from the Union
In 1861.
"That horrible monster, Greeley"
This, it will be observed, is the very argu-
ment used by the rebels themselves and BY
their English apologists. "That horrible mon
ster, Greeley" "Ths United States seeded
from England" the Tribune says: "why may
not the Southern confederacy secede from the
United States?' "That horrible monster, Gree
by attempting to breed dissensions In our
Cabinet and in our army; by sending abroad
misrepresentation of our forces and their con-
dition, and by maddening the Southern people
by assuring them that if they allow themselves to
be conquered all their slaves will be freed.
"That horrible monster, Greeley" That is
the Tiibune's manner of trying to "tear down.
"half-mast" and "destroy" our flag. "That
horrible monster, Greeley" That is the way
in which the Tribune endeavors to "resist all
coercive measures" and foil "any attempt to
compel the rebels by force to remain" "That
horrible monster, Greeley" That is its style
of vindicating the fundamental ideas of human
liberty" and the "principles of the Declaration
of Independence" "That horrible monster,
Greeley"
And yet, in the face of record 80 black with
treason, this diabolical organ of the Northern
abolition disunionsts dares to profess loyalty and
accuse its conservative contemporaries of sym
pathizng with rebellion. "That horrible mon
ster, Greeley" We trust, however, that the
time is not far distant when "that horrible mon
ster, Greeley" will discuss his "ideas of hu-
man liberty" with Cheever, Garrison and Phil
lips, in the dungeon of Fort Lafayette. Is not
Senator Davis right! Secessionists and North
ern abolitionists are equally working against
the Union and the constitution, and should "be
hung in pairs;" and we suggest that first class
pair" would be JEFF. Davis and 'that horrible
monster, Greeley"

The third lecture on the Elements OF Social
and Political Science was delivered last evening
at the Cooper Institute, by Judge Mott. before a
large and highly respectable audience. The lec-
ture, being continuation of what has already been
said by the gentleman in his discourse on govern
ments, was an eloquent and truthful dissertation
on the good and bad materials which compose our
political structure, and was received with marked
applause at the hands of the audience. He dealt
vigorously'with the horrors of secession and other
topics concerning our governmental policy. Next
Friday evening will be repeated his fourth lecture
Of the series.

to visit the upper pond of the Central Park this

prevent an exhibition of their skill on the ice.

A WOMAN or TAsrE.-The followin

A WOMAN OF TAsTR.-The following
very happy and equally true sketch is
from the London Quarterly Review -
"You see this lady turning cold eye
to the assurances OF >hopmen and the rec.
concentrations OF miliners. She cares
not how original pattern may be, il it be
ugly--or how recent shape--if il be awk-
ward. Whatever laws fashion dictates,
she follows law of her own and is never
behind ii. She wears beautiful things,
which people generally suppose are fetched
from Paris, or at least made by French
mllliner, but which as often are bought at
the nearest town and made up by her own
maid. Not that her costume is either rich
or new; on the contrary, she wears many
cheap dress, but il is always pretty--and
many an old one. but il is good. She
deals in no gaudy confusion OF eolors, bat
she either retreshes you with spirited
contrast, or composes you with Judieious
harmony. Notascrap of tinsel rtrumpery
appears upon her. She puts no faith in
velveI bands, or gilt buttons, or twisted
corning. She is quite aware. however,
that the garnish is as important as the
dress all her inner borders and beading
are delicate and fresh and should any
thing peep out that is not intended to be
seen, X is quite as much so as that which
is. After all there is no great art either
in her fashions or her materials. The
secret simply consisted in her knowing the
three grand unitics Of dress-her own
station, her own age, and her cwn points.
Aud no woman can dress well who DOES
not. After this, We need not say that
whoever is attracted by the costume will
moi be disappointed in the wearer. She
may not be handsome, nor accomplished,
but we will answer for her being even
tempered, well informed, thoroughly scnsi.

"MINT DRoPs. 1T is interesting and

OF bullion received and coined during 1861
at the mint in Philadelphia and its branch-
es in the loyal states, exceeded that OF any

duet Of the mines Of the United States,

NATIONAL BANKRuPT LAw.-Allhough
the act OF 1871 has left an unsayory odor
attached to the name OF a bankrupt law,
yet there are very cogeni reasons Tor pass
ing permanent statute, operative through
out the country. The interests OF credit.
ors demand il as loudly as those of debtors,
and both classes will be benefited to have
tie financial wrecks Of our recent panies
cleared away, A memorial has been got
up in New York in favor OF This measure,
setting forth in strong terms the great need
Of il, the sound policy which calls for It's
adoption, and the reasons for prompt ac-
tiou. II has been very numerously signe'l
by the leading business men Of the city,
and is accompanied with bankrupt act
framed by the best legal talent, for the
consideration OF Congress. The following
extract from the New York memorial
speaks words OF truth -
"I'he debtor is still required to pay,
while the creditor will not allow him TO
accumulate capital for the transaction Of
business, nor permit him 10 borrow of a
friend and invest il in trade. Honesty 10
not the best policy for him. A character
for integrity is worse than useless for it
he can point TO pure aud spotless liie---if
he can show that his industry, integrity
aud ability, in the various situations in
which be has been placed, have been un-
impeachable- his creditors will grasp their
claims with more tenacty under belief
that they can yet wing something from
his hard earnings, or from The sympathy
OF Friends or relatives. II, however, "A debt
or is reputed TO be dishonest, dissipaled
and generally dissolute in habits, his credi-
tor always ready and willing TO compro-
mise for his claim, aud lake anything he can
