how humble his position, no matter under

THE RASCALITIES IN THE MANAGE
MENT OF THE PUBLIC DEBT.

On the 18th of December, after the report
Of the Secretary of the Treasury had been re-
ceived and read in the Senate, Senator Beck,
of Kentucky, found it necessary to offer a
resolution requiring the Secretary of the
Treasury to furnish the Senate with import
ant information in regard to public debt
matters. 1t appears that the various Repub-
lican Secretaries of the Treasury have been
guilty Of violating the statutes relating to
the sinking fund.-" and to what extent ras-
calities are lurking in and around these
fragrant transgressons of the law nobody but
the Republicans, who have had charge OF
the funds. can form any idea. II

to the uttermost parts of the earth when he

of murder. They also declare that he did not
have a fair trial, and that his sentence out

are satisfied that an American citizen
fell victim 10 British malignity
and British vengence. We do not

O'Donnells American citizenship, becomes
an American question. 1t becomes such TO
