ISLANDER STOPPED.
The New York Herald, in one of its numer-
GUS attacks upon the Treasury Department
states that superb establishment is maintain
ed for the benefit of the First Assistant Secre
tary, while there is no such officer. But it may
be stated that neither of the Assistant Secreta-
ries uses horses belonging to the Government.
Mr.. Hartley has neither horse nor carriage, nor
does he use any belonging TO the department.
Mr.: Sawyer keeps very modest carriage, with
single horse, which he owns, and all the ex-
penses of which are paid by himself.

he was approached by many eisht-eor~e-
spondents, ''some of them well known lobby
lists, and representing papers of influence" pro-
posing for money to assist him in obtaining any
legislation he might desire, both by soliciting
members OF congress and by advocating his
measures in their respective papers. In Justice
to the honest newspaper correspondents, Mri
Goshorn should make it knewn whe were the
parties making these offers.
l. THE HOUSE BANKING BILL.
The House Committee ON Banks and Bank
ing on Monday agreed upon the following
leading features for bill to report at some
future day; First, that restriction on the total
amount of bank circulation shall be repealed,
which is equivalent to authorizing free banking
underline provisions of the present law, ex-
cept as modified by the committees bill; Sec
ond, that the requirement that banks shall
keep reserve of greenbacks in their vaults
to redeem their notes shall be repealed, and
that, instead, every bank shall deposit in the
treasury greenbacks amounting to five per
cent of its circulation as a fund for the re-
demption of its notes, and shall keen this re-
serve good: third, that banks shall not he al
lowed to pay or receive interest on deposits
with each other; fourth, that country banks
shall be required to keep their deposit re.
serves at home; fifth, that gold banks shall be
allowed to issue notes to the amount of 80 per
cent only of their bonds, instead of ninety as
at present, 1t is understood that only three
members of the committee voted against re-
porting bill combining these features, and
tn 1t these were Messrs. Hawley, Phelps and
Mitchell The committee subsequently agreed
to report adversely upon the postal savings
banks bill, but in order to give the friends of
the measure an opportunity to advocate it in
the house, it was Arranged that the bill, with
the adverse report. should be put on the cal
endar for discussion in committee of the whole.

THE LEGALITY OF LIQUOR SElzUREs.-A
case of considerable importance is still under
consideration in the Supreme Court of the
Uuited States-that of Barbinger VS.. the State
of Iowa. involving the question of the constitu-
tionality of the Excise laws of that State, and
probably largely affecting similar laws in every
State in the Union. The position of the plain
tiff in error is that under the recent amend
ments to the Constitution he cannot, as a cit-
zen of the Uuited States, be deprived of his
property in liquor by the Legislature of the
State. His title, it is maintained, is a right Sc
cured to him by the Federal power. and not to
be Invested by any other authority.

Dear Sir:-Yours of the Goth inst, has been

written in abuse of me, nor have had any de-
sire to read whatever he might write.
In the year 1851 | published him as constatu-

that date, therefore, have taken no heed of
the utterances of said Foote.
His fiattery, when he was seeking political
preferment IN the Confederacy, and his abuse
when, fathless to his trust as Representative
in the Congress of the Confederate States, he
was preparing for his subsequent deserton to
their enemy, were alike disregarded by me,
You are at liberty to use this as you think
proper. ..
