•twy i*t the masonry, ami the enormous me of
the block.-', seemed tmleslrticlibc, but was not
no; tor when 1 last visited Puttiers, ami asked
tor the key of the cavern, I found it no lon
ger existed, and that on the site had been
instructed the inn ot the ‘Trait Pelerine.’
It is a stone’s throw from the Salled’Arnica,
a place with which 1 had keen better acquain
ted than with (lie schoo'a. To revive my an
cient recollections. I entered the talk, anil
found there an inhabitant of the town whom I
had known at college, lie proposed that mc
•bould dmc together at the ‘Trots Pelerins;'
and. as or drinking at good a bottle of wine
aa it afforded, he related to me what a few
daya before, in the very room where we were
aitung, had happened at n dinner of the colle
gians. It was ordered for twelve; but, one of
the party having invited a friend, the number
•welled to thirteen.
It ia said that superstition supplies the place
of religion. 1 have observed this to be the
caae with the most sceptical of my acquain
tance; and thus this number thirteen occasion
ed some remarks, and ilia at ranger was looked
upon with no very favorable eye, and 4COII.
■ldered aa a supernumerary who brought with
him ill luck. One of those; at length sum
moned resolution enough to asy—
“l do not dine thirteen."
“Nor I.” said another.
"Nor I,” was repealed 0.1 all sides.
The guest, embarrassed at the rudeness,
got up and was about to retire, when Alfonae,
to whom he nmc as an umbra, proposed an
ingenms expedient for doing away wiih the
evil augury, and said,
"There ta one way of annulling the proverb
that threatens death j 1 the course of a year
so one of a party of thirteen ; the way is, to
decide which of us altall light a duel tins eve
ning, or to-morrow morning.’’
“I)cne }• cried all the students at a breath.
“Shill it be among ourselves 1" said one of
litem.
“No,” replied the author of the propnsi.
tion,“for then two of us would have to tight
whereas it ought to be the thirteenth.’’
“Rigid," said all the young men.
“Then let it he with one ol the officers of
tlic garrison.’’
“Bo it «n," said Alfonso; “we will make a
pool asustnl, at the case, al! thirteen ol ns,
and ’’
“The first out,’’ said a student.
“No," tnlorruptod Alfuusc, “that would Ik
a bid omen ; it sits I be the winner."
“Agreed," replied all; and they sat down
t» the table w.lb as much gaiety and insouci
ance as if nothing had been said.
The si ranger, just as the snup was being pul
on the table,gut up, and with 11 magisterial
tune of vo ce, addressed ihe assembly ; “Gen
tlemen," said he, “1 feel suddenly inspired
with a Miblinie idea. We are about to eat
and drink m the ruins ol Roman greatness,
(alluding to the ampluilieatrc.) Let us mu
tate that pontile m every ihtug that is great.
Nothing could be mure splendid than the
games of the gladiators which we c celobrul
cd over the tombs ol the mighty dead—noth,
mg more sumptuous than the festivals hold nt
their funerals. Tins is probably also a funer

“IJ ovo!" exclaimed the guests, one and all;
■ splendid idea, by Jove! cenu be n!"
“Open the windows!" cried Alfonso. The
windows were opened. As soon us theauiip
was Served, smash went all the plates 111 the
yird, and shivered against the pavement. —
80, during the rest ol dinner, every plate, us
last as ll was cleared—every b it tie us soon
as emptied, followed its fellow. One might
perceive by the practiced dexterity ofibis feat,
that it was nut the lint time they had play
ed the same game. During the first course,
nothing particular occurred to disturb their
harmony; but it so liappcml that the roti,
which is. as you know, 111 France always
last, was burnt. Then there arose a general
burst of indignation.
"Scud tin* cook!” exclaimed they all to the
waiters.
“Order up I lie cool;! Hero, conk! cook!”
was the universal cry; bat the chef was not
furthcoming.
Alfonse, the president,then said, "must I go
myself and fetch him!"
This menace hud its effect; the paurre
chef, pale as death, ami with coilon cap in
baud, crawled into tho room. Ho was greet
ed Willi deafening shouts.
“Come here!" said Alfonse. “Do yon lake
ua for the officers! What do you moan by
serving us in this manner, oh!"
Tho man of the spit stammered out an spo.
logy. Alfonse looked al him uskaucc.
•If I served you riglu," said he, • I should
made you {eat this detestable roll of yours;
but us it is the first tuno of liuppe ting, my
ch'.btising shall boa paternal otto. Hold your
cotton cap.
Tho chef obeyed, and Alfonso turned out of
• dish imo it an enormous domed cream,
(nnukt souffle.,) and said—“ Come, now, on
wait the cap, and sec you d >n't first spill a
drop.”
Ho was forced tncomply. and the unhappy
tuU’s, his laca and white jacket si reaming with
toe contents of tho plat, was followed out ol
the room with hisses and bursts of laughter.
Thus went 011 the dinner with its concert
ot broken plates, dishes, glasses and buttles
accompanied by noises of all Boris, which rose
to fortissimo as the wine,of which they drank
to excess, got into their heads.
Tho desert, which succeeded the second
course,was ended by what lh'<v called a salad.
Th:s s did was tbits mixed: They turned up
tho fuur corners of tho table cloth, and rolled
therein all tho fragments that were left. At
this juncture the w alters disappeared, conjec
turing shrewdly that, if they staid any longer,
the toast might bo too grand tor them. In
short, when all that remained ol the desert
was bundled well up, tbe collegians got on the
table, and,at the risk of cutting their feet with
tho fragments of the crockery and the split),
tors of Hie glass, danced thereon, till eviry
thing was pounded, smashed and broken.—
Then the table cloth, w.th all it cmtlaiuo I,
(the salad, j was thrown out of the window;
after it lire table, then the chairs, then the
lest of the furniture, and, when there w«s
nothing more to destroy, the frenz cd you 1 hs
ti ought they could do 110 belter than throw
themselves out; and all the thirteen ‘followed
the leader.’ A House, and jumped from the fiisl
floor into the court.

a g moral place of rendezvous for the students

drawn. Two of the latter were playing at
billiards when they entered ; but Alfonse,

The pool was begun. Never did a parly,
when a large sum of money depended on tin
issue of the game, play with mure care ami
, caution than those thirteen, to decide which
, of them was to light, lly degrees the players
1 lost Ihmr chances, and the number was ot Inst
5 reduced to two; those two were the stranger
guest and Alfonse. The lookers-on watched
1 anxiously every stroke, Those balls, that, as
r they rolled, carried with them the fate of n
> man, were followed w.lh earnest looks. The
. officers came nearer and nearer, ami ran.cd
themselves round the billiard. They were

I or rather one of them—which they knew not
—was to cuter the lists with n licshman, mi

. adroit mid terrible duellist ol the university
The chuii.es were against them. Thu stran
ger lost.
r A singular excitement was occasioned by
the disappearance of the lust ball in the pock
et. Some (aces grew pale, but no one stirred
from the spot where he had been standing ns
a spec'at or. Alfinise looked sleadily around
him, and made two or three times the circuit
of the room, as though he were in card), but
in vain, of SQUIC Otic tvorlli quatff’ffiug with
At lasi ho perceived a sort of sub-lieutenant,
drunnnsjor and nmitro d'arrncs, and who hors
led of having killed his thirty peqilins, sitting
quietly in a corner. Alfonse walked straight
up to him, mid, saluting him with a politeness
tint electrified the company, said, in his cool
way,
".Uonaietir, 1 am exceedingly distressed at
the situation in which I find myself placed ;
but my honor is concerned, and you will allow
mu to engage yours."
Without luither preliminaries, ho gave him
11 severe hit in the lace.
The officer, who litlld expected so abrubt
mid oitauswurablu n mode of provocation,
sprang like a madman from his chair; mid
had not Allonse, with toe activity and nimble
noas of a cal, leaped with one bound upon the
table, the ex drunmiajor would probably have
a Tingled Unit 011 the spot.
He was quickly at the aggressor's heels,
when h s own comrades slopped him of their
own accord, saying,
"Come, come ! no child's play or boxing ;
tho thing is too serious.’ Cost un combat a
la morl!”
“Where alia 1 1 find you to morrow'" said
one of the officers, addressing Alfonse.
“Fix your ground,” was the reply.
“No t omorrow!” said the officer who had
received the blow; "this mslanl!”
•‘ I’iiis instant bo it, il you please,” replied
Alfonse with the utmost iiidilTcroucc,
“I shall not sleep tonight tint.l that blow is
avenged!” said the other, foaming with range.
“1, too, wait to umtuinb my hand. J have
hurt my knuckles against your cheek-bones,”
said Alfonso.
“Whore would they fightal such a time of
night as this? ’ observed some ol the officers.
“In the garden behind the case.” entd the
ancient maiire d’armos; “a sword in one hand,
mnl 11 billiard lump in the other.”
“But," said Allonse, “1 am tried. 1 know
your style ol light mg men, Crane; you wmn
to make me break ground, and drive me step
by step round the garden. Don't think it, my
lad. Besides the lamp may go out. But, il
you have no objections, the billiard table will
boa good arena. We shall be well lighted,
ami there will be no means ol drawing back a
fool."
“Bo ilso," said the other.
The doors were closed, mid they laid hand
on the waiters and (he proprietor of the case,
who wore going to the pome. The swords
were then brought. Thu two adversaries cast
lots for them, ami ihon pulled oft' their coals
and waiscoats, and unbuttoned their shirts to
show that there was nothing under.
Both then look their swords.
The officer \vi upped round Ins hand a hand
kerchief, leaving both ends dangling. Al
fonse neglected tins practice, the object ot
which was to distract the attention of the ad
, vorsary by the perpetual flutter of their two
1 j while points, thus to turn away Ins attention
I from the sword. But Allonse had a manner
if fighting ol In* own,mid cured little for these
. petty proceedings. Ho never looked at the
stow; but, fixing bis eye on tint of Ins ontagu
niet, anticipated every inoli.m that he made.
The two wrestlers, or gladiators I might say,
got on the table together, and according to
I the I this or conditions agreed on between the
. students and the officers, rested their swords
, un the toes ol their boots. A traveller from
I a commercial house who happened lobe pro
sent, and could have no interest in the scene
. other Ilian what its novelty excited, was fixed
,; on to clap hi* bands throe times, and at Hie
, third the swords were upraised 111 the air, and
, j the two combatants came to guard.
, I A terrible sdenee reigned throughout the
, ] room, unit lor some seconds it we* only broken
. i hy the clashing of the steel; tor both parlies,
yI as they skirmished,were well aware that asm
. gle/atir pas was death. Tne slightest step
ping hick, shrinking of the body, or leaping
. 011 one side, must inevitably prove fatal.
e The officer was a head ami shoulder tallei

8 I crush him; Inn he little he,mod this advantage,
/ if advantage it was, for he by degrees lower

the bed of Hie table. No other change mint

, All at once the officer, taking Hi s posture
5 (or Hie effect of tear, made a furious lunge
. which was parried with the greatest sang
. froid, and Alfonso allowed the officer it
. return to Ins ground without attempting to re
f turn. His adversary was deceived hy tint

r venturous, attacked linn agiiu with increased
fury, so much so that, thrown otf his guard

‘I Wc have a word of counsel lo our friends in

1 We have a subtle and powerful adversary locon
y tend with, who wields the patronage of the go
;. vernment —its offices and its treasures. That
(I these will be used there is no doubt, to purchase
" up all the marketable votes in the country. Let
out friends then be on Ihe alert. Wc contend for
,1 principles—they for the retention of power and
1 office. In their hands the country has been ruin

4 and their country. Remember that in supporting
1! Schley and the misnamed Union ticket, you sup
port Van Burcn, and all tho visionary expert
-1 incuts which have brought distress and poverty
J upon our happy country. To our friends then,
in every county m (be State, wo say, awake,
1 arise. Let no man slay at I ionic who is able to
find his way to the ballot box, and our]causois
safe. Ta the polls! 10 the poll*!!
The Richmond Enquirer, tlic most influential
paper devoted to Van Burcn, is out against the
Sub-Treasury Scheme, and the project of receiv
ing nothing but gold ar.d » Ivor in payment of
the government dues. This opposition however,
is merely nominal, us Mr. Ritchie gives us pretty
plainly to understand that if Van Bc -l en will not
come into his views, lie will full into Van .Huron's.
We shall give to-morrow, some extracts fro.?! In*
opinions on the subject.
Sickkss ix Nkw-Oiij.ka.is,—'The sickness ill '

Major Benjamin W. Edwards, candidate for
Govnor, of Mississippi, died on the 18th nit. at
his plantation in Holmes county, aged 43,
We have read with much gratification, tho
lengthy and able reply of Uapt. Jas. A. Meri
wether lo Gov. Schley, in reference lo the refusal
us the latter to pay fur articles of clothing, pur-
I chased by the former, upon his authority, for tho
’ volunteers going to Florida, and for which ho
refuses to pay, even after an act of the Legislature
. hud directed him lo do so. The Union prints at
, Mdlcdgovillo made a great cry about extravagance
in the purchase of those articles, ullcdging that
cheese, crackers, beef longues, hyson tea, cham
paigns wine, Ac., had been purchased, and that
,( the Governor bad properly refused to pay for
I- them. Cnpt. Meriwether, after adducing tho
0 strongest ptoof of his aulhotily to purchase what
|' r he did, puls an everlasting extinguisher upon tho
c charge of extravagance, by utterly denying that
e any such things wore bought by him and charged
)• to the Stale. Read the following extracts (rom
! his address, the whole of which is 100 long for
'J insertion in our paper.
c “‘Much has been said of the purchase of ovor
is coals al #26 —boots, #lo—pantaloons at #lB
II champaign wine.at #36 tho box—smoked longues,
' pickled bud, bologna sausages, hyson tea, eastern,
,1 and many other such articles; and the attempt
e made lo connect wc with these purchases, I now
il say lo all those who seek, either directly ot indi
rectly, by allegation, imputation, inuendo, or in
' uttv other way, to connect we with such pureba
. vcs. that such charge, presented in what way it
i- may be, is willfully and wickedly false. 1 pur-
I. chased not one of the articles of tbe character or
o quality spoken us. I puicltascd neither wine,
cheese, beef, sausage*, castors, tea, or any thing
d ~f like character to those alleged lo have been
- t purchased. And I threw the challenge to any
r . and lo evci v man, lo prove lo the reverse of mv
d statements. I purchased no overcoats at #25
11 oor at half that | rice. I purchased no pantaloons
'* at # 16 —nor at one fourth ol that price—nor boots
, e at any price. I purchased overcoats which coal
C, n|H)ii the average, about the same or lets than
r- those for which Gov. Schley paid in Mtlledgc
o villc. I purchased seven overcoats at #l2 each;
three at #lO each; two al #1 ,50 each; one at #9,50;
. and ten at #9; four pair pantaloons, at #3,50
~| each; two jackets at #4,25 each; three caps at
J, #4,40 each; thirteen blankets at 87J cents less
*1 than those purchased in Mtllodgcville; six frying
J 1 jiaiis; two tin buckets; two tin pans; one camp
'j kittle; one coflee pot; one oven, and three bottles
h of oil for the guns; all at the same price* as those
d lK>ught in MillcdgeviUe, closed my purchases in
10 Macon, except seventy gun slingt. For every ar
is ude of which Gov. Schley refused j»«y incut.
1 1 "flov. Brbley prescribed lo me no li m 't •* *°
• jifi * or quantity. I limited my purchases to
5 js(9 for overcoat* •« the maximum, anil nothing
> j beyond it. And when one of my men could find
1 ! but nne coat in the place which would fit him,
i i and that waa priced sl7. I refused U> charge it
jlo the Slate at that prlce ( lieeauae it exceed the
• I limit I had fixed. It was charged at sl2—and
. the ballatice paid from my own pocket.”
r "He hue stated in hie letter to me, that he au
■ Ihorizcd the puichase at Macon, of provision,
J- camp equipage, Ax. dec., yet notwithstanding
. auch authority, thus admitted to have been given
■ by him, when my accounts for articles thus au
thorized are patented, be refuses lo pay for them.
The Legislature then at its last session, inter
fered for the relief of the officers ami soldiers, and
. I passed a law requiring the Governor to pay these
1 accounts. Thia he most positively refuses to do.
t And what is his excuse for this wanton disregard
■ of an Ifflperitivc law? He professes to he at a
• lost to understand its plain language. He says,
! “In the construction of the word clothing In this
. section, the Governor was obliged to refer lo the
l one which precedes it, in which it is defined lo
• be the wearing apparel of the soldiers.” This
mere excuse is, il any thing can be more disin
. genioua, than his intimations of my extravagant
' purchases of cheese, &c., utterly unworthy of the
source of its emanation. What is the object of
thia preceding section? Il provides payment for
“properly lost in battle, or in the immediate pur
suit of the Indians, or while employed in actual
service,’ and limits its provisions to the loss of
“wearing apparel of the soldies,’ &c. Now the
section providing for the payment of ‘clothing,’
look* to another and different object It is full
and expressive of itself, and contains within itself
the ample means of Us own interpretation. Il
is distinct, and altogether separate in its objects
and its provisions, and contains nothing whatever
of reference lo the other section. It provides,
that, ‘His Excellency, the Governor, be and he
is hereby required to pay all accounts for cloth
ing, &c., contracted by the commanding offi
cer of any company, &c, either in the Creek
or Seminole campaign, or in the Cherokee coun
tics of this State, provided his Excellency shall
be satisfied they were purchased in good faith,'
What ambiguity docs there attach lo this word
clothing! Ask the children of the streets, and
they will tell you that "clothing’’ means some
thing to dress with, garments. Then if this some
thing to dress with,these garments,were purchased,
il is to bo paid for under the provisions of the law’
The Legislature very properly did not specify the
quality of the clothing, because from the promised
ous manner in which it were obtained, but few
articles could be found of the same quality. Wc
had none of the advant"g,. s 0 l procuring clothing
as in the I' idled States army. There it is pre
pared at the same factory, and of the same quality.
To have designated any particular qualities,
would have defe .led the object of the law alto
gethcr. The Legislature therefore protciibcd the
most equitable rule possible. It provided, first,
that the clothing should be paid for, if his Excel
lency ‘should be staisfied it was purchased in
good faith.’ What was lo bo understood by
good faith. That it was purchased for necessary
use, and not for speculation or idle waste.”
“His Excellency says, that he was not opposed
to the payment of the volunteers. His message
shews that ho never once called the attention of
the Legislature to the condition of tho troops in
the Seminole campaign. That he was opposed
to the passage of the act under consideration, I
do know. That it was with much difficulty he
was induced to sign it, I likewise know. And
,’fhis Excellency will submit the issue to a jury
of twelve honest men, I will convict him of that
hostility.—Nay, if he will deny, under his proper
s ign,'»turc, I will prove it upon him.”
Prom the Southern Recorder,
THECAE PUT MIGHT—OR, TRUTH 18

ponents to make the most °f it. as we intended,
after allowing them lo comm. * themselves, so far
that there could be no backing ou ’ 1° t urn the
whole force of their own dcclamau' on * against
themselves, liy a plain exposition of the fitCts of
tho case, about Which our opponents have bet'll
blustering, profoundly ignorant of what they w«.' re
about.
Now lake the fact about Indian testimony.
Da the people of the Cherokee country know,
that while Indian testimony is not permitted
against the citixelis of Other parts of the State, it
is in fall force against them? If they do not,
let them read tho law of 1829 now in force, and
which Mr. Gilmer in 1830 recommended to bo re
pealed, It ia in these words:
"And be it enacted, That no Indian or descen
dant of any Indian, residing within the Creek or
Cherokee nation of Indians shall bo deemed a
competent witness in any Court of this Stale to
which a while person may boa party, kicipt
SCCH WHITE PERSON RESIDES WI TUI N THE SAID
nations." —‘Dawson's Compilation of tho Laws
of Georgia,’ p. 199.—See likewise Foster’s Di
gest.
This is the law of 1827, so much spoken of.
In 1830, (ieorgia extended her laws over the
Cherokee Nation, and our citizens quickly peo
pled it, ami thus all the citizens of tho Cherokee
country, who of course “reside (in the words of
the law) in said nation,” arc subject to have Indian
testimony allowed against them, while by the
same law, that testimony is not allowed against
tho citizens of any other portion of the Slate.
Now that is the law which Mr. Gilmer recom
mended'to be repealed. Ho thought, as was very
reasonable, that if tho testimony of Indiana wcic
allowed against tho people of the Cherokee Cir
cuit, il should lie made to operate alike upon the
balance of tho State. Il would have been as illi
beral as unjust, to have supposed that all the land
stealers weto confined to that section of the State;
but il seems that others don’t think so, for they
seek lo defeat Mr. Gilmer on the express ground
of his recommending the repeal of this partial and
obnoxious law of 1829, and to pul the whole peo
ple on an equality.
What say you to this citizens of Cherokee?
j We ask you not to taken our word alone for the
j truth of our statement: rcfei to tho law itself ami
I you will readily find it, and refer to Mr. Gilmer’s
message, and you will find his recommendation
i for its repeal. What say you lo this, citizens rs
; Cherokee! Ought Mr. Gilmer to be beaten by
i your votes, for recommending the repeal of a law
which iftide Indian testimony hear upon you
■ alone, while it freed the balance of Georgia from
i it. Remember that by the law of 1829, which
• Mr. Gilmer tried to repeal, you arc made subject
■, to Indian testimony, and that you arc by that
, law subject to it, while the balanceofyour fellow
citizens are not, and say, whether for this you
• ought to vote against Mr. Gilmer. If you heal
i him lor this, you beat him for endeavoring on his
. part to do away an invidious and degrading dis
. | lmotion, made by law against you, and for bis
’ effort to put you on an equality with the other
’ freemen of Georgia, Judge ye, read the law, and
1 make up your determination.

! WASHINGTON, Sept, lllh, 1837.
Mr. Wright,Chairman of the Committee of Fi
-1 nance repotted to the Senate to-day, a bill provi.
• ding for postponing the October instalment of the
1 surplus revenue, until the further action of the
’ House. The bill was read. Mr. Wright moved
' that it be read a second time to-morrow.
’ Mr. Calhoun expressed a hope that it would
! not be pressed at this time ; and not until the
Committee had reported on the other and more
important subjects submitted by tho President in
his Message. He wished tile whole subjects
■ should be considered together.
Mr. Webster, a member of the Committee,
said he would not interpose any obstacle to the
progress of the hill through customary stages ;
1 hut he took occasion to express his opposition
• and the whole principles of the bill, and also to
■ the other measures which the Committee have in
' preparation. The bill was ordered to he read a
second lime to-morrow.
1 A number of petitions wore presented, relating
lo different sabjccls, ami were all laid on the ta
bic without bring read or discussed—the general
CO'iisc of the Senate being decidedly in favor of
confining the attention of Congress to the special
ohjecls for which they have been convened.
Mr. Asbury Dickens was re-elected Secretary
of the Senate, and Mr. Shin, after several ballot
ing*,was chosen Chaplain.
In the House the ptoceedings of to-day were
full of interest. The resolution offered by Mr.
Biddle on Thursday last, for calling on the Sec
retary of the Treasury for information relative lo
his authority for ordering the members of Con
gress to be paid in specie, &nd whether the other
public creditors arc paid in the same medium, and
if not, what authority he had for making a dis
crimination, was taken up for consideration ; and
Mr. Biddle made a speech of great beauty deliv*
crcd with great earnestness and emphasis of man
ner. He condemned, in strong terms, the arbi
trary discretion exercised by the Sectetary ; and
! dwelt with great force and vividness of illustration
on the monstrous injustice of such a discrimina
tion between the different classes of public debtors.
1 Mr. Robertson’s resolution (tho substance of
r which 1 mentioned lo you on Saturday last) for
extending the inquiry put to the Secretary, was
also taken up and adopted by Mr. Biddle as an
i amendment to his own.
Mr. Hamer of Ohio, expressed his belief that
’ the Secretary of the Treasury would promptly
return an answer to the call.
, Mr. McKay ofN. C. started up with great ani
r motion, and entered into an elaborate defence Os
° the Secretary. After some further remarks from
f Mr. Halstead, the question was taken on the
i adoption of the resolution as amended, and car
b zied without a division.
The House then resolved itself into a commit
tee of the whole; and referred those parts of the
messag,” w hich relate lo the finances of the coun.
try to the of ways and means, and that
- which related u’ a bankrupt law to the committee
on tho judiciary. ,i’ bo report of the Secretary op
the Tress jry was also re," rrc d> 1n appropriate divi
sions, to the same two cornu’ 11 *’ 668,
Mr. Smith of Maine, then p. °posed a rcsolu
( tion to postpone all business except ’hat winch
. relates to the subject brought under vis.'- 1 ' in tho
i President’s Message. This led to a spirited’ and
1 dissultory discussion, embracing many topics o'
national and party politics; the result of which, '
; however, was the adoption of tho resolution
■ The House then adjourned.
It is impossible to give the particulars of litis
j. important debate in time for the express mail to
, day; bull will dwell upon them fully to-morrow.
: Il appears very clear, from the course taken by
• several leading administration members, that the
committee of ways and means will not bring in a
bill presenting tho simple proposition of the Sub-
Treasury scheme set forth in the message; but
■ that the President’s plan will undergo considcra
-1 hie modification. The parly dares not bring for-
I ward the simple proposition of the Executive
they know it never can receive the sanction of
Congress; and I venture to say now they do not
intend to bring il forward, notwithstanding all
their talk. M.
