The Freed4nan,s Bank Robbers.

The existing House of Representatives
was elected upon the distinct issue of re-
form in the administration of public
affairs, and much has been expected of il.
The Representatives are clothed with the
power to investigate all transactions OF
public affairs which have the appearance
OF fraud, and, rs colossal rs that undertak
ing would be, the people expect them TO
do their best toward fulfilling it. But,
whatever else may be overlooked, there is
one abominable iniquity in Washington
which must be probed TO the bottom, and
any member of Congress who shall fail in
any respect to give his aid to that work
may confidently depend upon receiving
the sternest Reproduction of the public.
we refer to the atrocious robbery of the
poor negroes who were induced TO depOsit
che ilrst earnings of their free labor in the
Fraedman's Savings Bank under the SUD-
position that they were lending their
money TO the United States Government
There is no story OF fraud within this
century which exhibits such utter mean
ness and depravity as the history OF this
swindling institution, which by n conf

Roscoe Conkhng ne a Candidate.

Is there any good reason why Roscoe
CoNKIiNG should not be the candidate for
President of the Republican party OF New
York
During the last six years no other Re-
publican has done so much for the party
Us Mr.. CoNKLING. lie has kept step to the
music, and marched up to the standard
every time. Others have criticised and
some have condemned; but lie has been
only the defender and advocate of the
party, Of every one Of its representatives
and measures. Prominent rs he has been
i'm the Senate, and In pubic affairs gener-
ally, he has made no speech throughout
this whole period, cast no vote, supported
or opposed no measure, except with refer
cnce 10 the success, the harmony, ana the
efficiency of the party, and 10 it's prolonged
tenure of power.
Who is there among the Rcpub. --s of
the state TO compete with bim7 It's easy
TO mention the names OF all those who
would now like to be selected as the Re
publican candidate for President, GOV.
MoBGAN Is the most prominent; Gov. FISH
probably the most earnest in his desire ;
and Gov. DIX the least confident; but is
there any one of these three conspicuous
gentlemen who has rendered any such SER
vice 10 the party ms Mr.. CoNKLTNai Has
ono Of them contributed like him TO its
councils ? Has one Of them maintained
its unity, and stood forth at all times and
in all weather as its champion and de-
fender ne he has done 7 To ask these ques-
tions Is 20 answer them.
We suppose there IL little doubt how this
matter Will be determined Gov. MORGAN
Is politician OF extraordinary shrewd-
ness and uncommon resources. Gov. FISH
possesses Dutch pertmacIty, which cnn-
hlcs him TO appear rs candidate, although
the supporters that follow hIui are scarce
ly enough To constitute a forlorn hope.
GOV. DIX is "A veteran of immense expe-
ricnce, n scholar OF erudition so rare, and
n poet of Imagination so chastenet that he
has translated into English verses the ma
jestic measures of that grand old Latin
hymn, the Dies ira; but Latin scholars
and hymnologists are not numerous enough
10 make great figure in State conyen-
ton of politicians and office seekers.
Each OF these gentlemen, then, wealthy,
experienced, ana respectable rs they all
are, will probably find 1t his duty to stand
aside aud make way for the younger aspi-
rant, who comes from Utica with brighter
intellect, broader fame, IA superior record of
services, and far more contempt for the
ordinary arts Of party management than
either Of the Others.
We conclude, then, that RoscoE CoNK-
LING Will be presented in the National
Convention as the unanimous choice for
President OF the Republicans of New York.
With such backing, Jealous, patient, aud
discreet, II is by no means impossible that
the convention may finally select him as
its candidate. But will he be elected :
An that is another point upon the discus
sion of which il is not yet time for us to
enter.

lives to raise an arm in defence OF his
rights
As the case stands, the President may
fnd or make occasion TO intervene when
over he plenses. There are officers OF the
navy near in his confidence, and others
not new in public service. who would re-
ioice to lead in such an enterprise. Thou
sauds Of adventurous spirits are always
ready in this country TO seek the bubble
reputation at any hazard At the first tap
of the drum they would fall into line like
an army of regulars. GRANT has counted
the cost, and he is needless " the conse-
quenccs. To secure third term, he is
ready to make war or to incur any other
risk
II ia known that tho views OF the six gov
crnments addressed by Mr. FISH in regard
to cuba through our Ministers have been
received at Washington. Congress is ell
titled to this information in all it's parts,
and should require 1t in the most peromp-
tory manner. Thus far the President has
insolcntly withheld facts which are inds-
pcnsnble 10 wise legislation, and Knowl-
edge which the country demands. lie has
sought 10 commit the United States to AN
European antnngiing alliance, in violation
OF the policy and principles Of this Govern
ment, and against all its best interests.
How fur he has gone and how many of
these foreign powers have accepted this in
vitation, canuot he known until the whole
correspondence is communicate We
hope, therefore, the House Will insist. in
the name Of the people, upon having the
whole information, aud on making GRANT

The Virginia House OF Delegates has
been discussing n question Of privilege A SEN
sitive member named CURLETT, having been
ridiculed in the STATE journal, procured the
passage Of a resolution eIpelinR the editors OF
that journal from the foor and excluding them
from the galleries. The vote was small, and on
Friday last a motion was made to rescnd tAe
resolution by Mr.. BAGwELI, who said that while
he had no sympathy with the attack on MIR. CUR
LETT, he thought tine House owed It to itself to
reconsider Its hasty action, being evidently Of
the opinion that censorship OF the press WIS

Mr.. BAGwELL's sensible view OF the subject
was hotly opposed, however, by MIR. GORDON OF

bosom" that the House should visit merited

For a further plea, the defend ants, Ter recit-
