Treasury acknowledges that his scheme is

It is scarcely conceivable that there should
be any intention on the part of the Board OF
Police to have the case of Farley and Irving
considered in any secret or partial manner
But there are circumstances which certainly
favor such supposition. The Board do not
acknowledge the receipt of the communication
of the attorneys of the Bank of England, and
although "the trial" has been announced for
to-day, and postponed at the request OF Mr..
Hall until Thursday, no notification OF any
kind has been given to these representatives
of the corporation most interested. They have
not been requested to furnish their evidence
or to be present at the investigation. Any
appearance of disposition to smother inquiry
by er parte proceedings will be in the highest
degree discreditable to the city. We do not
attribute any such design to the Board, but
strongly advise them to give no opportunity
for such differences.

Wall-Street business men continue nervous

Business prospects among the Rhode Island
ence, are not altogether gloomy. The print
works have been reported as suffering most
severely from the effects Of the late panic.
These statements have been undoubtedly ex-
aggerated, and a moro healthful feeling is
spreading through the manufacturing districts
of the State. Oneida and adjoining counties
of this State, according to another TRIBUNE
correspondent, may be considered as recover
ing from the alarm from which they were
suffering few days ago. There is much that
is discouraging in the copious reports which
we have elsewhere grouped, but the general
outlook is certainly improving.
What purports TO be a confession of Tain
tor, the dishonest cashier of the Atlantic
National Bank, was brought out in the course
of the trial of that person, yesterday. 1t is
an amazing story. 1t shows the trusted
cashier doing pretty much as he liked with
the funds in the bank until he had gambled
away more than 100000. Trust funds, col
laterals, cash deposits, and convertible securi-
ties were all at his absolute disposal; and,
according to this singular statement, the de-
fauter thinks there ought to be something
coming to him from the Wall Street mael-
strom in which so much money was swallowed
up. 1t is too early in the progress OF the trlal
to make much comment on the confession "
but we commend it to the consideration OF
employers and custodians of financial trusts.

When DuFell issued his midnight or.

on the Rapides Race Course, will come
off several interesting races, under the
auspices of the young gentlemen, who
have made new and marked depart
ure in favor of fashionable sports.-
There will be a Quarter race, SIX
hundred yard race, and last though not
least, pacing trotting race, gentlemen
riders, mile heats, best 3 in 5. Wealth
er permitting, the sport and real en-
jovment promise to be the very best
Let every one who wishes TO spend a
few hours of real pleasure, away from
the dull monotony of Town, enjoying
pure country air in the bargain, visit
the Course on next Saturday. Both
Livery Stables here have fine horses
and turnodts, and can accommodate a
goodly crowd and as walking is good
and extremely healthy exercise, those
failing to strike trade at Surls' Or
Taylor's can fall back on shank's

the only cooling and nice resort to the

Levin, this fashionable depot of bonRcs

Towns anywhere can. boast of such a
Saloon, which should lie literally pa
tronized. Times are very hard, it is

The Whole Fabric 1'umbles.

The main basis upon which General
Grant, his Attorney General, and all
who support their course in the MAIN
teuance of the Kellogg usurpation,
having been swept away by the recent
emphatic declaration by our Supreme
Court, it becomes. necessary that
great many State documents, mes.
sages, proclamations, speeches and
opinions should be revised and cor.
rected before they pass into the histo.
ry of the country and of the times.
No honest man has ever dared tojus.
tify the action or non-action of the
Federal authority in preventing or de-
ferring the fulfllment of the guarantee
of the Federal government of a repnb.
lican government to the State of Lou.
isiana, except on the ground that the
Senate judiciary had decided in favor
of the validity of the Kellogg usurpers.
Now, here comes the judgment Of
our Supreme Court, a strongly partisan
tribunal, with the distinct affirmation
that it is without any jurisdiction ove,
the subject; that it has no powerto de.
termine who was elected-who has tho
legal title to any Office for which the
election of the 4th of November last
was held!
1t is only the political department
can determine that question. If the
I McEnery candidates were returned as
elected by corrupt and partisan
board, no showing of fraud, violence
\ or any other fact, which in any law.
! abiding country in the world would
demand the rejection and annullment
. of the same, would even be listened to
or needed by our courts.
The courts can repair all other
y wrongs save that of the denial to the
' people of their most important right
t They can enforce every other constlta'
j tional guarantee except that which Is
