SCENARIOS HIGHER.LAw SPEECH.
An IueIdeut OF President Taylsr's Admini.-
trntiou.

An IucIdeut Of President Taylsr's Adminis-
tratiou.
We take the following from 1.-THE Recollec-
tlons of An Old stager," In the September
number Of ''Harper's Magazines" His speech
produced profound sensation In Congress
and throughout the country. II aroused a
strong feeling Of resentment and indignation
among the Southern Wings, and mcnaced the
unity Of the party. Twas at that time assist
ing A. G. Bullitt In tho editorial department
Of the Republic, the organ Of General Taylor's
administration. Bullitt was favorite OF Cen
eral Taylor, having written the famous Allison
letter, which smoothed the way for the Wings
10 support his nomination. He had discussed
with me the speech of Mr.. Seward, and, at my
instance, had concluded to pass II over in
silence, as delicate thing to handle, under
ali the circumstances Of the case. The day
after it's delivery we met Senator Mangum on
the Avenue. lie was overlooking with wrath
at what he denounced as the monstrous decla-
ration of Mr. Seward. Il have just had q
conversation with General Taylor said he,
and told him In the plainest language, that
II such were the doctrines OF the Adminlstra-
and II these were Wing doctrines, was a
Locofoco.' A few moments afterward we
encountered General Taylor, quite excited by
the outbreak OF the North Carolina Senator
He had slight stammer when speaking unI
der theinauence Of strong emotion. A-aieek,
said he, (this was his usual way oil addressing
Bullitt,) 'Alcck, this is nice mess uoveinv ~
Seward has got us into. Mangum swears nc u
turn Democrat II Seward Is the mouth-piect
of nv administration. The speech must b.
disclaimed al once, authoritauyely aud DO
cidedly, Don't be mcaly-mopthed about II
hut use no harsh language. We cant slant
for q moment on such principles The Con
Ia nj worth atrQw III every mai
IA 10 be his own interpreter. disregarding tn
exposition Of the Supreme Court
fJInder this Inspiration Bullitt wrote o.
elaborate and very powerful criticism upol
the speech, commencing In these words
When Senator rises in his place and PFC

claims that he holds his credentials from Al,
mighty God, authorizing him to rclectGand
this was the keynote OF the whole aruclo;
Tho effect was tremendous. Mr.. seward ana
his friends were filed with constcrnauon,,
while feeling Of cxultatloD equal In strength
peryaded the minds Of tho sllyer.drays OF
bnuff- Takers, as theconseryatiyc wings were
termed by their radical brethren.
"But mark the sequel. Such was the tact
and address Of Mr.. Seward, aud his skill in
impresslng himself upon those by whom nc
was surrounded, that he soon rcgained his In
fucnce with General Taylor, and In q lew
short months the latter permitted tho Cahi-
net, cooperating with Seward, to drive Bull
lit out Of tho Rep,iblio for writing the article
which he had inspired and ordered to be
written. ....
~ was at Niagara Falls with Bullltt In the
following July, when the news Of the death
OF General Taylor reached us, and this was
his exclamation; 4 mourn for the kind
hearted old man as would for father. He
never acted wrong on his own motion. The
nlibustering knayes who practiced on his crc-
dulity and good nature will now get their
deserts, aud justice will DO done to oil par
ties"

saw the head with no trunk attached lying on

put up. A large number of private cottages
will also be built Lots on the sea-wall are
steadily approaching in price, and cannot now
be bought for twice the money paid at the OPEN

be inferred from the fact that $4,000 tickets

been sold since the opening of the Boston &

t ,IS will carry the state because they have
cot rid of the Liberals and the Allen county
55enarturists. The weaker they are, the
stronger they become.
The Missouri Republican, the leading DEM
ocratic paper of the south west, says that the
result of the nomination of straight ticket
by the Democracy of Ohio will be the re-elec-
ton of Gov, Noyes and his transfer to the
United States Senate to succeed Thurman.
As Gov. Noyes is first class Republican Of
the anti-Butler type, the change will be gem
orally approved.
The correspondence and reports received
from different sections of the State by Mr.. o.
E. Doolittle, Secretary of the Republican Ex-
ecutive Co. pmittee, indicate that Governor
Washburn will have majority in the Con-
yention; and in some counties Gen. Butler

THE Ten MILLIONS SToRY.-The sensational
Washington correspondent of the Boston
Traveller, comments on the story that the mil
lions of gold has been stolen from the treasury,
as follows:-
Ever since spring letters and intimations have
been received at the department OF a movement
to put up the price of gold These were backed
by such authorities that the Secretary was con-
WINGED of their truthfulness, and a general plan
of operations was adopted with view to de-
feating the spectators. 1t was thus found ne
cessary to keep large surplus of gold on hand,
and by that means to intimidate the jobbers.
The next phase in the case was heavy de-
mand for gold to carry on the operations of the
syndicate. The amount required is estimated
at from IS 900 to $11 100000. OF course the
withdrawal of so large sum from the imme-
diate Treasury, if known, would have increased
the chances of success by the unscrupul GUS
Wall street spectators, and as the money was
really in the hands of the government, only so
removed pro tenlpore as to place 1T beyond IN
stant availability, it was not considered judi
cious to omit it from the statement of coin in
the Treasury
To have done so would have been to put a
premium on speculative gold gobs, and it GER
tainly was not the province of the Secretary of
the Treasury to inform the ring spectators that
they had a better chance to injure the mer-
camille community than they expected, for to
inform them that the government had the extra
S10000,O0O in gold, but that it was where it
could not be Immediately edof, would have
been equivalent to telling them, so far as their
temporary jobs were concerned, that they might
go ahead
There has also been no bunder in book-keep-
ing. The best interests of the country have
been consulted, and in an effective manner, as
the present reasonable price of gold shows.
am also informed that the full amount of
coin set forth in the lastidebt statementis now
instantly available agoin, and if the gold
rings want to smash things they had better begin
at once.
