The National Intelligencer says: 'We learn
reliably, that upon the receipt in the Senate
of the nomination Of Horace Greeley as Min
lister to Austria, objection was made to its con-
sideration by Radical Senator, and, there
fore, under the rule, the thing goes over to the
next session. Could vote have been had MIR.
Greeley would, as we are assured, have re-
ceiyed large majority of the votes of Radical
Senators. "

A GUY FAwKEs." Upon the extension Of
the Capitol on Saturday morning, the work
men were discussing the supplementary Recon-
struction bill-talking very loudly against it.,
when one named Chas. Sorrel affirmed that if
be had the powder he would blow the whole
Capitol up, and all the id congressman with
it. He wished they had been blown Ill be-
fore they passed the id biIl1i 1t seems
some one informed the police, and detectives
McDevtt and Claryoe went to arrest him. As
MIR. MoDevitt Was approaching the Capitol he
was seen by Sorrel, who took to his heels and
ran, thus giving the energetic detective live

Station, about half past one O'Clock, where he
ia held for hearing before Justice Walter. -

the Government property as we'll as the lives
of the citizens of Washington he placed Mr..
Sorrell under $500 bonds for his good behavior

wanted. The security was promptly given by

SPEAKER CoLFAx' S SPEECH Mr. Thaddeus
Stevens was serenaded by the Radicals in
Washington, on Saturday night. He did not
speak but Gen. Farnsworth, Mr.. Mcpherson,
Clerk of the House, and Mr.. Speaker Colfax
did. We copy an extract from Mr.. Colfax' 5
speech, to show what the Radicals think, and
what they intend:
''In 1866, when President johnson turned his
back on the party which elected him, travers-
ed the country making speeches, to be read by
millions, denouncing us-with his whole Cabi-
net against u.s. with but one honorable excep
ton; Applause, and cries Of "Stanton ~ with
the whole power and patronage of the Govern
ment thrown in the scale Of our enemies, we
appealed again to the ballot box, winning the
most magnificent victory ever known in our
political history. Applause. But this will
be eclipsed by the comi0g victory IN 1868,
when We shall place IN the Offices of the Gov
eminent those who will be faithful to liberty,
justice and loyalty. We ask no more, and
will accept no less And this victory will be
swelled by the votes Of the reconstructed
South. When they return, as they, Will, IN
accordance with the terms prescribed in our
legislation, they will return with magnificent
maiorities for the right. Applause. They
will come back, led as they must be, by those
who have been faithful to the Union 10 its
darkest hours. They will join with lis Of the
North, under the Inspiring influence CT free
labor and free men, in the march Of power,
prosperity and progress and ne will join with
them in SO legisating that hereafter, in this
noble land, there shall be no man so poor, so
humble, or so obsure that he cannot look up
to the American flag as his untailing protec-
ton and with the ballot, which shall Vindicate
his rights, in his own right hand. iApplause
And all the loyal people shall say amen and
amen. Loud applause. J.

surered the Government TO be defrauded about
a. nundred millions year on whisky alone.
rake the losses from other Spirits tO5acco,
petroleum. and from all the rest of the frauds
9n the treasury, for which the Secretary Is
directly responsible, and we shall find that his
management costs the nation about two hum
dred millions a year. We confne ourselves
| mere simply to losses in the revenue; but II we
| look at the evils of his administration IN sus-
tanning the infamous national bank swlnule,
! by which the people are defrauded Oh over
| twenty millions year, and the industry OF the
| country swallowed up by a monstrous moneyed
monopoly, with all the other evils arising from
| his utter incompetency, he will appear to be
the most costly administrator of the Treasury
that this or any other country ever had.
But his weak apologists attempt to lay the
blame on the President, on the Treasury
agents, and on the rascals who practise the
frauds. The President will be to blame if he
does not remove the Secretary, now that the
facts are known to him-that is, if he has the
power. at all events it is his duty to lay the
matter before Congress, and to do what he can
to stop such wholesale robbery of the Govern
ment. The Secretary, and not the President,
administers the affairs of the Treasury. We
mold him responsible for the conduct of his
agents or subordinates; for he selects them in
the first place, can remove for cause, and it is
his duty to keep vigilant eye over all. He
Is lneXcusable. Then, as to smugglers, per-
Jurers, and robbers of the revenue in every
way, there are laws to punish them, and if he
did his duty in bringing them to punishment
he would soon stop the frauds. 1t is all bosh
talking about the high tax on articles being
the cause of egading the Revenue laws. In
other countries taxes on some of such luxuries
are higher than with us, and yet they are col
lected. Why not here
1t seems to us that Mr.. McCulloch is more
intent on managing the patronage of the Gov
ernment in this vast Internal Revenue depart
ment, as well as the national bank system. as
political machine, than he is for the interests
of the Treasury or the good OF the country.
He acted with Chief Justice Chase in the
organization of both, and while his political
and financial chief has been on the bench he
has worked the machine upon the same prin-
ciple and for the same object. From beginning
to end these men have shown surprising
combination of stupidity about financial mat
ters, with a great deal of political cunning.
We have now, however, reached point in the
ruinous mismanagement of our national
finances beyond which endurance cannot 90.
Congress, as we said, ought not to adjourn
without seeing that Secretary McCulloch be re-
moved, and that thorough investigation be
made into the frauds upon the revenue and
the management of the Treasury Department.
The country will now hold that body response
BILE, and fearful responsibility will rest upon
it if it neglects its duty in such an important
matter.
