by the strength and skill of some of his de
bates with Rev Nathaniel Rice of Kentucky.
The Campbellite doctrines are very nearly
allied to those of the Universaists. Rice was
old school Presbyterian. Thirty years ago
these twain had it hot and heavy. They were
both strong men, both sincere Ill their profess
sions and both backed by a powerful follow
ing. Rice Numbered forth the doctrines of
his church, clinching his arguments with the
pitiess logic Of the memorable Calvin, Camp
bell, not less vehement, and with the stout
reasoning and untiinching tenacity of Il true
Scot, held his own with great power. They
confirmed their partizans, Presbyterians and
Canpbellites went to these Joint discussions
to applaud and sustain their champions, not
to be converted. These ways of the faithful
are also the ways of the world. We are glad
to note that Secretary Key is moved to this
substantial recognition of the sturdy old
Christians daughter We should be equally
pleased if a daughter of his valOrous opponent
were to receive a like recognition.

THE san FRANCISCO MINT.

In justice to Mr.. LaC'ranse We reproduce
the following:
Washington, May % Whatever may be
the real facts in regard to the present manage
ment of the San Francisco Mint, there is no
basis for the Washington dispatches daily
reiterated in one of the San Francisco journals
to the effect that charges of official misconduct
have been made to the President or Secretary
Of the Treasury against Superintendent La
Grange. On the contrary, the Mint is
officially reported thus far i'll a very efficient
condition, and no complaint from depostors
has been made. There has been some dis
satisfaction expressed about the Mint figures
in politics, and reports under this head have
reached the department from various quarters,
which are likely to have more influence with
this Administration than the last, and lead
to some changes eventually.
One by one the accusations preferred by
the Chronicles hbel-editor evaporate. Gen.
LaGrange will be entirely exonerated from all
charges against him.

SUSPENSION OF D. b. IlI>IEL & co.

The banking house of d. T. Immel &C.,
closed its doors yesterday morning for want Of
funds. The news spread rapidly, and was the
general theme of conversation throughout the
day The immediate cause of suspension was
the return of Il check from San Francisco IN
favor Of Paxton Il Co. for II, 100 unpaid
This check was arranged here however,
on Tuesday evening, Yesterday morning
the bank opened as usual, but after hasty
consultation with the friends of the concern,
it was deemed wsest to close it. Mr. Immel
thereupon made an assignment to Messrs. II.
Bishop, DR.. NJ. K. Chamblin and NJ. b. Bart
lett, who now have charge of affairs These
gentlemen inform us that 50 far as they have
gone they find matters here all straight, with
sufficient assets to more than satisfy the
creditors. The liabilities are given at &43-
600, and their assets al S+4, 600. These are
not, Of course, the exact figures, but they
are said by the committee to be approximately
correct. There may he something in the
nature of the stock account below not included
in the above estimate, but the reasonable
Inference is that the brokers have taken care
of themselves. Mr. Immel has been a heavy
purchaser Of stocks for other people, and twas

Of 3 large circle Of friends in his |
difficulties, No man in the community be |
lieves he has misappropriated a single dollar
Of the bank money. The suspension was
simply due to unforeseen obstacles of a bust
ness nature which could not he averted. The
accounts of depositors are generally small, but
quite numerous The largest depositor, as
shown by the books, was Dr. Chamblin, and
the next largest Bishop & Carpenter. Mr.
Immel being a cautious man made but very

are therefore mainly available. Indeed, the

lion will be ample to liquidate all claims, and
possibly leave handsome sum to Mr. Imlnels
