The full particulars of Capt. Halls discov-
cries in the Arctic regions will be awaited
with deep interest, though it is not likely that
he has added much to what we already know
of the fate of Sir John Franklin. Capt Nc
Clintock in 1859 learned the date OF that
commanders death, found some of his
boats, and collected a great many per-
sonal and other relics of the eXpe-
dition. He ascertaned also that the crew
had deserted their ships and persisted in an
attempt to reach the regions of civilization by
an overland journey. Capt. Hall, eight years
later, heard something from the natives of two
or three white men who were alive with
the Esquimaux long after the survivors
of Franklin's expedition were supposed to have
persisted, and who might even be alive still I;
and the journey from which he is now return
ing was undertaken principally for the purpose
of making inquiries about their fate lhe
stow, told h;,,, ~ the natives tbot thn chip
"was stove and the crew took to their boats
agrees with what they told McClintock, name
ly, that one of Franklin's two ships was
crushed in the ice, and sunk off the north
west shore of King Williams Island.

The authorities in Havana appear to nave
the most unique way of carrying on govern
ment. To have revenue they plumber, ana
to get a policy they search the mailbag Then
their agents here and there do, it seems, lie,
and steal and murder immOdestly. For
instance, the Captain-G General and his friends
are charged with RENTING specific sums OF
robbery homeward for their individual beneht.
The other day the American mails were seized
and opened, so that our Government is now
begged to allow the collection of letters at tho
limited States Consul's Office. Count Valmaseda
at the head of the Captain Generals forces Is
a guarantee that not many detenseleSs lives
will be spared. For the rest, we have dictum
of the Havana press that the Cubans are mostly
loyal, and that Gen. Jordan has sold out to
Span. Where else but in Havana could two
such stories be found together' Unless it shall
happen that the assassination OF the Marcaho
brothers was something unusually horrible, our
SPANISH cotempOraries will have to take the
palm.

Certain Journals have busted themselves
most unwarrantably with the religious convic-
tions of Mr.. George Shea, stating, as an OBJ
Btacle to his nomination for judgeship, that
he has changed his religion, and become a
Presbyterian. If this were fact, it would be
one with which the public has simply no
business whatever; but it happens to be as
false as it is impertinent. We have known
Mr.. Shea from bOyhood, and know that in all
that time he has belonged to but one church,
the Episcopalian, whereof Rev. DR.. Seabury is
Rector. We believe he would make good
judge, but neither better nor worse for belong
ing TO that church.

"The Wig and the Jimmy: A Leaf in the
Political History of New-YOrk," is q concise
and interesting account of the gigantic frauds
perpetrated last Fall by the villains who mis-
rule this City, and who by these frauds
cheated Gen. Grant and Speaker Colfax out
of the Electoral Vote of our State and foisted
John T. Hoffman into the Governors chair
1t is compiled from the sworn testimony taken
before the Committee of Congress appointed
to investigate those frauds, and gives the
names of the Democratic Judges who forged
voters, and of the Congressman, Senators, AL
dermen, Police Justices, &C., who permitted
these forged voters to register from their
respective dwellings, so as to vote fifteen or
twenty times each with impunity. All the
machinery of Justice being in the hands of the
conspiratOrs. the defrauded people were refused
all redress but the facts are here presented in
such telling shape that no one can read them
without realizing that, if he votes the Demo-
cratic ticket, he votes to keep in Office the most
infamous gang of villains on earth. The
pamphlet is sold at IS cents, but large guam
titles may be had much cheaper. We bespeak
for it a universal circulation.

The complete reconciliation of the kepuon,
cans of this City, and their perfect agreement

they are all united, gives our adverS''ie ,I q
deal of trouble They keep insisting that
somebody must be cheated; bat that ooeS no'

ence of principle whereon to maintain 1eua
which in its origin was rather personal tllan
poltical and there was really nothing III as
pute but questions of organization, regularly
&c. of no serious or abiding moment. Nheh
the regular organizatiOn-that which had Dech
repeatedly adiudged such by successive State
Conventions-held out the right hand OF TEL
lowship to the others, and offered to divide
with them the delegation to Syracuse ana TO
mite with them in choosing new Committees
70 supersede all those now existing, the whole
difficulty was settled. We trust it Will never
more be heard of, and that we shall be some
thousands stronger for the adjustment III our
vote at the coming election.

The case of the man Bowen, who has lust
been sentenced to what is all the same as i'm
prsonment for life, for causing the slaughter
of twenty-seven persons at Cars Rock. ON
the Erie Railway, must take rank among the
greatest curiOsitles of crime known to Amcri-
can history. lie has confessed that he tore I'M
the track for the express purpose of causing
that disaster, and that he had done a similar
thing twice before, although, fortunately. in
those cases freight instead of passenger trains
were thrown off by his devilish malice. The
mans purpose, apparently was to be revcnged
upon the Railroad Company, and we can hard
ly suppose that he really intended to de-
stroy life; yet he had been railroad
hand for years, and must have been
fully conscious that an awful destr,lc.
ton of life would be the immediate
consequence of his deed Can we suppose that
in the contemplation of one particular action
his mind stopped short and refused to perceive
its instant and inevitable results? This is n
psychological anomaly only noticed in the in
sane, and to that class Bowen in all probability
does not belong. We know, however, that
there are human beings to whom wholesale
murder is hardly more repugnant than whole
sale theft-witness the nurse in German hos
pital who was found some time ago to have
been long in the habit of poisoning patients,
merely as a psychological experiment-but of
such creatures our country, SO far as we recol-
lect, has never before furnished specimen.

Pendleton and Packer-the two representa-
tiyes of Democratic integrity. One claims to
be the inventor, MS he is the most energetic
cXpounder of the scheme for defrauding those
who put implicit faith in the promises of the
Government at the beginning of the war; the
other does not deny the charge of having, by
n paltry tIick, cheated his town, county. and
State ont of the just amount of taxes upon
his enormous wealth. Pendleton asserts his
honesty by urging the payment of solid,
hard-money debt IN deprecated currency;
Packer proves his by returning an income of
less than one thousand dollars upon property
of twenty millions. And these are the idols of
rectitude before whom the Democrats of Ohio
and Pennsylvania bow down.

A most incredible story is going through the
papers to the effect that lady at Presumption,
H., lately presented her lord with six children
at Il birth, and that they are all living and doing
well. If the story be true, we believe that it is
the first instance of the kind in medical history.
What seems to throw an air of romance over
the whole is the further statement that the
husband was perfectly delightedr Such an
extemporized family might possibly reduce
despairng parent to idiocy, but we confess TO
doubling the delight under any circumstances

at the same moment, demands the dis.
Grace of Mr.. Belmont because he favors
the same policy. One section Oh the new
York Democrats praises the platform OF their
State Convention as a wise and well con-
sidered document. Another denounces 1t as nom
sense or something worse, and gives falr no
tice that as soon as the campaign becomes
active the party will kick their platform 10
pieces. So it seems that joining the party now
will be task of considerable delicacy, requir-
ing quick eye and nice calculation OF dls-

a railway train at full speed or turning a
soraersault on horseback: it is easy enough 10

Exchange HAnk:

$4,000 10

Neic York, Sept rs. 1859 JonN SMITH X CO.
Above are the purchases made the day before
by John Smith n Co., and below them the
sales All the persons named in the statement
are supposed to be members of the Gold Board,
and to keep their deposits of gold and currency
in the Gold Bank. In this case it happens that
Smith a. Co. have purchased of various parties
sums of gold amounting in the aggregate to
$4,000, and have sold to divers other parties
exactly the same aggregate, and the difference
against Smith q Co. is $50 in currency.
The rule requires that each member of the
Gold Board shall present his statement to
the bank of the transactions of the previous
day at 12l p. M, and if the difference between
the sums total of his purchases and sales be
against him he must give his check for the
amount Of such difference. AS soon IA the
statements are presented to the bank the clerks
set about adjusting the accounts by dcbiting
each party with his purchases and credting
each with his sales. If no one named in the
statement has deiaultcd, tho bank is re-
CURED to settle after 2 o'clock. In case
of default the amount il added to or de-
Quoted from the appropriate statement. BY
this simple process John Smith & Co.,
being members of the Gold Board and deal
ers with the Gold Exchange Bank, are enabled
to buy and sell in single day nearly mil
lion dollars of gold on n capital of $3.50 in cur
rency. If there were no such institution as
this Clearing House Bank, Smith g. Co. would
be compelled either to reduce tho amount of
their transactions or increase the amount of
their capital. Thus they would have to re-
ceive from John Freely e. Co., named in tho
foregoing statement, S25OyOOO gold, and pay
them $4,000 in currency or its equivalent
mus business that may now be, and we be-
heVe often is, transacted on capital of
single thousand dollars would, if the Gold
