HON. HENRY A. WTsE.


This gentleman, distinguished as a
statesman and politician, and long one
of the leaders of the Democracy of the
South, eadeared himself years ago to the
Irish people Of the United States, and.
indeed, to all foreigners, by his advocacy
OF theirc claims to citizenship and PARTED
patton in the government of ths States
and Of the Union. When a fisnd.
ish spirit Of prescription for relieiop,s
sake, was marching through the land.
and denunciatiOn and threats, and. in
deed, persecution was resorted to to pre-
vent Roman Catholics from the exercise
Of the privilege of citizenship. Mr..
WISE, in 8 anvas memorable for its
severity, successfully killed the monster.
and YVES elected Governor OF Virginia.
As rapidly as this crime against liberty
had eliminated, so rapidly it died. The
Irish Catholics, in gratitude for
his services In that campaign
aud generally for his course
as a man and statesman have determined
to make up in part the fortune of which
he was robbed by the war, and smooth
his declining years by lifting him above
the labor to which he is compelled In his
old age. Ia this they will, we hope, be
as successful as their warm hearts deslre.
They know what persecution in all its
forms is-they who have withsteod alll
descriptions Ct it for six hundred years.
and resisted every attempt to change or
modify the religion Of their fathers. A
people so heroic can sympathize with
and recognize the heroism in a man of
Mr.. WIsE's stamp. At the meeting to
be held shortly, We hope it will not be
the work OF Irish Catholics, but
that all foreigners will make it a duty TO
be present and participate In the pro-
ceedings, and subscribe literally to q tes-
timonial OF love, vsneration and respect.

TREAS URN.
About the Seal Of the Treasury
Department.

The Philadelphia Evening SBdr has
discovered that the seal st present used
by the Treasury Department. OF the
United States was never adopted by Con-
gress, and that even it's origin is mat
ter OF the profoundest mystery. The his
tories OF the seals of all other depart
nients of the National Government, and
OF all the States of the Union, sre known.
We know when all OF them were
adopted, and their validity can never be
q matter of question; but OF the history
Of this seal little or nothing is known.
This N uch is known concerning il, that
in the early days Of the Republic Con-
gress appointed s com mmittee to select a
seal for the Treasury Department. The
committee reported two designs, neither
Of which was ever formally chosen. Blu.
one of those designs have ever since
been used by the Department, certainly
without full sanction of law; 50 that the
very grave question might possibly be
raised whether the use OF il would in
validate any document or issue to which
il might be affixed. The gravity Of the
matter consists ia the fact that none
OF our shrewdest numismstists or
historians can tell Us where the
seal now stamped upon our bonds and
gTeenbacks originally came from, or how
long it has been in Service. We venture
TO say that the most any Of them can
tell US about it Is that it has the sanction
of an indefinite number Of years usage.
But that is hardly satisfactory enough
and 1t really seems to us, that to svOid
all future trouble Congress should pass q
law IS speedily as possible, confirming
the seal which now adorns our national
currency. Meantime, if the gentlemen
who ought to know all about such mat
ters can enligbten US, We shall be very
glad to hear from them. II Secretary
could find time to deive
among the dusky archives Of q century,
he might hit upon some clue. Perhaps
Mr.. Spinner, the Register of the Treas
ury, could clear up the mystery or, per-
hsps, our learned townsman, Mr.. Robert
c. Davis, who is very successful in tracing
up such misty questions as this, could
sssist the inquiry. II not, may be DR..
Lieber, the eminent historian, could. At
all events, the question strikes US as
being one Of the highest national impor-
lance, and Congress ought to give 1t the
earliest attention.
