A,a Important Dem Ind.

We have noticed several para
graphs in the newspapers relative to
demand soon to be made by Secre-
tary Seward on the British Govern
nent. A Washington correspondent
gives the following statement con-
corning the matter:
''Four days, before Secretary So
wards departure for Chicago with
the President. was devoted to the
preparation Of an important State
paper. I am not able to assert whether
its promulgation will be Immediate,
or delayed until the return o. the
Executive trip. There is no doubt
that the document in question, which
is no less than u reiteration of the re-
newal of the demands of the Govern
ment for restitution at the hands of
England for losses of American ships
owners by the Anglo Confederate pi-
rates, is conceived with unusual ella
boration.
'"The Secretary, during the time
indicated, has been almost invisible
at the State Department, being con-
tinually engrossed in the composition
of the above despatch. In length, it
will be of excessive wordiness. In
conjunction with the spirit Of the de-
mand, several clerks of the Depart
y mt have been preparing a synopti-
cal statement of the claims referred
to the Government for British liqui-
dation. The lists are full and have
been carefully revised. While the
knowledge that these just debts are
again to be pressed upon her Maies-
jesty's Government may give un-
doubted satisfaction both to the
claimants concerned and the nation
generally, it does not seem at all
likely that an international row is to
ensue on this assertion of diplomatic
stiff upper lip, or that our Govern
ment will escape the practical as
sumption of the demands thus urged
against foreign power. This phase
of the matter arises from the fact that
England has of late been putting in
such enormous claims against the
United States for losses Of English
subjects in the South by Federal seiz-
ures of property during the war, that
the accounts to be rendered by either
Government will very nearly offset
the others indebtedness. Herein
Secretary Seward recognizes an op-
portunity for indicating degree :
courage and stamina for which he is
generally discredited

The Message,

~. r......0
rhe Governor, in kis message to
:he Legislature, enumerates the sub
jects towhich he desires the attention
of that body. The FIRST is one of
great Importance, ,sesitris highly de-
sirable that the Courts of the State
should extend over perse4-~ Of color,
and, i'm orderto do this, it is abso-
lutely necessary. under Uaited States
laws, to make no distinction, in the
administration Of sths laws between
the freedmonr aud. the whites ave
believe thai the transfer of cases
wherein freedmen are concerned to
the civil Courts will materially dimi-
nish crime and misdemeauor among
them. ALI the -easons' set forth by
Governor Orr, as we'll as the recon-
mendations based upon them, show
that he has thoroughly studied the
whole subject, and the measures pro
posed should, in The main, be
adopted.
He recommends q new prison sys-
tenn, by establishing, in. this city u
State penitentiary. We have ex-
pressed our views in relation to this
matter, and we think that the condi-
tion OF. the communities throughout
the, State: not only render the erec-
ton of this institution desirable, but,
fur the sake Of peace and order, alb
solutely necessary. In this connec-
tion, the Governors recommends
tian, as to the necessity of u thorough
revision of our laws on vagrancy, will
command attention. The condition
of the population in most of our
towns and cities, where the vicious
and idle most do congregate, furnish
daily evidence that vagrancy should
suppressed, under severe penalties.
The remarks of his Excellency, on
the mode of relief most proper for
unfortunate debtors, are excellent.
While agreeing with the Court of
Appeals, as to the nnconstitutionality
of the Stay Law, he makes several
suggestions which, if adopted by the
Legislature, would contribute greatly
to the relief of debtors.
The Governors suggestion, as to
providing subsistence for the needy
and substitute, seems to us to be the
only feasible one to accomplish the
object. We have no doubt but that
the State, with al unsullied credit,
could borrow money on her bonds.
This matter we have referred to else
where, and we aao glad that the Go
yernor's views are in accord with our
own
The whole message is clear and
succinct review of all the measures
which should claim the attention of
athe Legislature at this extra session.
Legislation on other subjects can be
very properly deferred to the regular
session, and if the Legislature just
follows the suggestions of the Cover
nor, transact their business as we'll as
he has prepared it for them, the
members will earn the hearty ''well
done Of their constituents. We
commend to all q carefn' perusal Of
this business-like document.

WASHINGTON, Sept. l, 1866.
The attention of assistant treasur-
ers, designated dcpositaries, and Of
hcers of national bank, designated as
such, is hereby called to that portion
of the circular issued from this Office
November 10, 1864, which enjoins
that in the cancellation of coupons
paid by them, care be taken not to
punch from the same either the num-
Der or dates. 4 diregnrd of this in
junction las, in many instances, sub
jected this md other Offices of the
department to great inconvenience,
lnasmuch as coupons the dates or
numbers of which have been thus re-
moved in tho process of punching
have delayed, if not entirely prevent
ed, the reimbursing of the treasurer
for his payment of the same. Here
tofore payment for the remittance
has been made by him without regard
to the coupons SO defaced; but, in
view of the fact that such defacement
is needless, inasmuch as there is upon
each coupon ample space for cancel
lation without destroying any essen
tial part, and as by such reckless can
collation. the evidence Us to the ma
turity or even legitimacy of o coupon
is destroyed, it has been determined
that hereafterall coupons from which
either the date or the number has in
any way been removed will be return
ed to the parties remitting them, and
payment thereon withheld until the
dates or numbers shall be fully estab-
lished by affidavit or other satisfac-
tory proof. i. e. SPINNER,
Treasurer United States.

From WashlnGton.

The correspondent ~or the New
ssYork Herald writsa::rss s = !.
< It5s understood THAT stbe fact of 3
suit for damages having been eona-
menoed against Secrefaty Stanton
was kept quiet by the Governmentin
order to prevent the institution of
numerous other similar suits; but the
Herald having smoked the case out,
despite the reticence Of the Govern
ment, the courts OF the District are
already threatened with q surfeit OF
business growing out Of suits against
this official. Summonses in suits for
damages representing sums varying
from $40, 600 to $40, 900 have already
been issued, and others are threat
eAed. A number of sui IS against the
same parsonage have been COM
menced in Pittsburg and other parts
of the country. The long pent-pp
animosity of the people seems sud
denly to have been let loose. It is,
however, but proper to- warn parties
who consider themselves aggrieved
by MIR. Stanton's official conduct du-
ring the war, that there need be no
haste in getting their claims into
court The principle that is to de-
termine the personal responsibility Of
officers Of the Government for extra
legal conduct during the war will be
settled in the Smithson case-which
will probably be tried insEovember-
and then other aggrieved parties can
guide themselves by that decision,
and save delays and costs to them
selves.

BAL The Boston Journal relates of a
Portuguese soldier, recently returned from
The war, that when he went into the ser
vice, be could not understand even the
military orders in English, but made a
good soldier. Coming to this city, he
got into debt for his board with one of
his own countrymen, and said that,
when he enlisted, he received five hun
bred dollars in bounty, which he hid in
a creviee Of his barracks on goingto war.
His landlord and Others took him about
to the several military camps, in the
hopes ttat a recollection of the place
would enable him 10 recover t~hesecreted
money and it was not until q friend
had provided him with the means OF 60
ing to New Bedford to ship, and his
missing the way and return, and that
chance led him to New Hampshire,
where it proved that he enlisted, and, on
going TO the barracks at Concord, he
found his five hundred dollars, which
had remained safe for two and a half
years.
