Not Stuck Up in the Least,

Some have imagined that the re-
cent legislation in Congress would
have a tendency to cause the Ne
groes to put on airs, and look down
on the Whites with contempt
This is, doubtless, an erroneous
opinion. To-day the Negroes in
the District of Columbia intend to
celebrate the anniversary of the
Abolition Of Slavery in that Dis
trict, and they have extended a
formal invitation to Congress to
participate with them in that cele-
bration. This is an indication they
donot think themselves better than
Congress, at least.

Important COrreSpOn d e N e---A-
meDdment to National Bank Law.
Especial dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer
The Hon. T. w. Ferry, Member
ber of Congress from the Fourth
District of Michigan, has presented
to the Secretary of the Treasury a
letter from the City National Bank
of Grand Rapids, Michigan, ad-
dressed to Mr.. Ferry, and asking
ing that the law be so amended as
to allow the reduction of the
amount of securities required from
the National Banks, designated as
depositaries of the public moneys
of the United States, for deposits
of such public moneys with them,
to the amount of S25,000.
Iii reply thereto, the Secretary
Of the Treasury says "that the mat
ter of determining the amount of
such securities is confded by law
to the discretion of the Secretary
of the Treasury. The minimum
now established by the regulations
is $4,000. While the late rebell-
ion was in progress, and the opera
tions of the Treasury Department
extended into almost every hamlet
of the country, the services of such
financial agents as the national
banks were very valuable and nee
cesary to the successful conduct OF
such operations. But with the
close Of the rebellion, the Treasury
Department, like most of the other
branches Of the Executive, finds a
reduction Of the number of such
agents necessary for the proper
conduct of the public business as it
now exists. The difficulty Of prop
erly conducting this bushes, with
nearly four hundred depositaries,
at even the present minimum amt
of $4,000 securities, is daily evin-
ced. You may judge Of the ncrea-
sed difficulty Of experimenting and
preserving an effective custody of
the public funds, were each mini
mum amount reduced to $4,000.
"For the above reason, it has be-
come a necessary part of the policy
of this Department to decrease, as
far as practicable, the number Of
its depositaries, and TO increase
rather than to diminish the amounts
of their securities. The safety of
the public moneys, in Ivy judgment
renders the course necessary, and
!, therefore, can not justify the de-
sired reduction.
81 am sir, very respectfully your
obedient servant.
"H. McCULLOCH,
Secretary of the Treasury"

that it was believed if the frauds
hal been known he could never
have been a Acknowledgment !;
but, asit was, he only obtained it
by fmportunate solicitations, not
only by himself and others, but
even by ladies, engaged to go to
the capital and use their influence
to obtain votes. 1t was also said
it would entail no charge upon the
Treasury; was intended merely as
a compliment to crafty an old sol
der; but no sooner was it obtained
than he presented a claim for back
pay, for rations, forage, transporta-
tiOn, etc.
To the Acknowledgement acting
as his own trumpeter, and drawing
upon his imagination for facts lau-
datory Of himself, there can be no
objection, except thatit is humilia
ting to every American that an of
ficer of his rank could make such
an ass of himself; but the malice
and revenge that, after the lapse of
ten years, could induce him to Sc
lect a time when Mr.. Davis is pow
erless, and the ISLANDERS unknown to
him, to utter such falsehoods. must
be regarded by all who value hon.
or, truth and manhood as below
even contempt.
This is now published in the
place where the facts and circum.
stances are known, and can be es-
tablshed by any of the people who
took part in the politics of the time.
