ment The following are pithy extracts from

We have examined forty cases of al.
legged violation of the laws of the United
States, and have returned them ''true bills"
nearly all of which were for violations of the
revenue laws.
So far as our examinations have extended,
we find the government affairs in this district
ably, wisely and honestly conducted its Off
GERS attentive to their duties, obliging and
competent. We are profoundly impressed
whit these facts, and bear witness to them
with degree of satisfaction which is height
ened by the recital of delinquencies which
reach US from other parts of the country. The
alacrity with which law breakers are detected,
and the certainty Of prompt and rigid punish
ment, have tended greatly to reduce crime in
this Judicial district, which speaks loudly in
praise Of the officers, from the highest to the
lowest, who are charged with the execution
of the laws Of the nation.-[Exchange.

j. II. Manley, Esq, is and has been stationed
in the district alluded to above, for the past

An article in your paper of Friday last, &C.
cording TO my view of the question, will have
a wrong impression on the minds of the pub
lie in reference to the bill now before the
Legislature touching savings banks. The bill
one per cent. on the deposits, and restricts
