Jmitable Irisli actor; as great in making people laugh, as Mr.Cookmun in making them weep, anil as efficient in ruining the souls of men, as Mr. Cookmun was insult ing them. And now for the moral of this paragraph : In several of the leading jour nals which we have opened this morning, the name of Power only is singled out as a loss to bo deplored, while not a single tear is in store for the fate of other associates, of nobler intellects and nobler callings!— This is a strange anil thoughtless world. Mr. Rives in favor of a National Bank.- The Richmond Star says: “It is stated, and we believe upon good authority, that Wm. C. Rives has declared in favor of a National Brink. We hope lie lias ; for a largo portion of those who were once most furious against such a Bunk, have now dis covered that it is impossible for the busi ness of tiie country to flourish without one, and when a man finds himself in error, we like to see him come out honestly and say so.” The “Special Term of the Superior Court of Leon county,” for the purpose of “ hearing and determining issues on the criminal dockett” as advertised by the Judge of Middle District, to have been held on the 17th ilist, did not convene according to the rule granted. The day came—the jurors came—tho witnesses came—the criminal docket was forthcoming—hut the Judge had absquatulated. Col. Willis Alston who lias been accused of the murder of Gen. Read, and who is in close prison under that charge, was very anxious to have his ease disposed of; and through the medium of his counsel, applied for a trial at the regular session of the Court which was then about to be held. But in stead of giving the accused a hearing, the judge adjourned the Court over tilt next fall. Afterwards a rule for a special term was granted. But it was not held ; the judge of the Middle District was mis sing oil the day named for the court, and and no other judge of the Territory could be induced to take his place. The special term for the hearing ofcriminal cases con sequently has not been held. It is probably the purpose of the prosecu tors and the judge, to keep the accused in a close dungeon during the summer months, where our climate and confinement will work out for them that vengeance which the law could not have been entrusted with iloi ng, Tallahassee Star, May 19. From the Georgia Journal. STATE BONDS. What are State Bonds selling for l Such, for instance, as Georgia may fer for sale, with the understanding, that the proceeds a rising therefrom are to be loaned to the peo ple ? Can our neighbors tell us? If they can, will they ? Os this we shall know more hereafter. These State Bonds are getting to be rath er odious with the people. More so of late than formerly. The people begin to see that the selling of State Bonds is the selling of the State to no very small extent ; and the experience of other States, both in rela tion to the State Bond System, as well as the borrowing of money, by a State, to loan it to the wealthy aristocrat, note shaver, and speculator, is not altogether lost upon the people of Georgia. They know that it “ aint the thing it is cracked up to he, no way it can be fixed and the attempt to gull them, by Gov. McDonald’s State Bond Scheme, will be visited with a vengeance upon those who have dared to try it. But the worst of this same State Bond, State selling Scheme, is the insuit offered the poor and distressed portion of the com munity, whom, they pretend, they would benefit. Now, if there were in the Central Bank three millions of money to loan to the people of Geoigia, how is that man to pro cure one dollar of it, whose property is un der execution, or who is too poor to procure it otherwise ! Surely no man could get a dollar of it without giving the Jest kind of security 1 And who is it, that can give this kind of security, but what may borrow money, upon as good terms, as at the Central Bank ? If the depreciation of the bills of that Bank, be taken into the account, and of course it should be, the answer must be, no one. The truth is, the really distressed portion of the community would get none of the money ; hut the capitalist, the note sha ver, the speculator, and the influential pol itician, would ; for these could all give the required security, and these very funds, they would shave the poor and embarrassed man with, or what is worse, buy up his prop erty at a third of its value. Correspondence, of the Madisonian. New York, May 19. The great topic of the week has been the case of McLeod. It comes up before the Supreme Court on a writ of habeas corpus, on a motion of his counsel that he be dis charged from custody, on the ground that the offence for which he is held to account has been deliberately assumed by Great Britain as a national act, for which she is to be held responsible, insjpai’aistJfny individ ual. This motion has been amly supported yesterday and to-day by Mr. Bradley, of Lockport, and the Hon. Joshua A. Spencer for the prisoner, and quite as ably resisted by Mr. Wood, District Attorney for Niagara county, and the Hon. Willis Hall, Attor ney General. Os course the war of the Giants was between Messrs. Hall and Spen cer, who respectively made the closing arguments ; but the efforts of the Junior Counsel, were in the highest degree honor able to their talents and acquirements.— Mr. Spencer has nobly earned and long en joyed the reputation of being one of the first if not the very first, constitutional lawyer ~in the State ; but L#m sure ho will cheer fully admit that he met “ a foreman worthy of his steel” in Willis Hall. The great im portance of the question at issue, the strong excitement pervading *he public mind, the ability ofthe advocates, the absence of all petty cavils on technical points, and the stupendous consequences which may hang on the decision of this question, rendered | the Court room a theatre of intense interest, j and it was crowded thoughout with an in. tently listening auditoiy. It became at I length necessary to exclude many audi tors. Mr. Spencer closed the argument of the case at half-past 12 to-day, and tho Court passed to other business. Very probably, I the decision will not he pronounced till the close oftlie next week, as the Judges will use all possible means of avoiding a wrong decision. I have myself very little doubt that the decision of the Court will he against the motion for McLeod’s liberation. lie will then be remanded to take his trial—prob ably here or in Albany. Our Senate has finally concurred in the Assembly’s amendment to the appropria tion bill, fixing the total expenditures for Internal Improvements this year at $3,000, 000. lii this shape the hill lias passed. Sharp Shooting. —Mr. Biddle accused some members of the Investigating Com mittee with having no great interest in the U. S. Bank, as they were small stockhold ers. Mr. Massey, lie said, owned hut two shares. In reply, the Committee state that this is just double the amount Mr. Biddle owns. “ Rats desert a sinking ship,” and perhaps the ex-president saw far cnougii into the future, to render it prudent to cut loose from his disabled craft, except to hold on by a single share. North American. From the Raleigh Register. REFORM. All accounts concur in stating, that a great and salutary change has taken place in all the departments of Government at Washington. Reform was necessary, and this Administration was put in power for tiie especial purpose of accomplishing the great work, in which it is now engaged heart and soul. Under the late Adminis tration, it was not only deemed no sin, but the broad turnpike to higher advancement, for a Clerk to become the hero of a Street debate, and devote bis time and talents to tiie service of men, who came into power by a sacrifice of honor. Thin, lie who could write a political essay for the News papers, filled with fulsome praise of the matchless abilities and immaculate purity of the Administration, was considered a most accomplished public officer. But these things have now changed. We have taken new latitude and departure, and lie w ho now desires to gain and secure the con fidence ol the public, must first do his duty to the public. A Clerk is not now appoint ed to figure in the Newspapers or to brawl in the Streets ; he is appointed to i|o the duties of his office, and the duties of his of fice only. The motives of the I’resident and the Cabinet Officers may be slandered, and their actions misrepresented ; but pois ed on their own rectitude of soul, and sup ported by the confidence of lire nation, they will stand unharmed by the violence of the storm. BANK OPESAtISKS. The New-Hampshire Patriot states that by a recent examination of the Plymouth Bank it is ascertained that the directors have borrowed fifteen thousand dollars more than was paid in on the capital. The Union Bank of Mississippi fop voted to discontinue business and wind #p the in stitution as speedily as is “consistent with the present condition of the country.” Extensive Bonk Robbery—Large Re ward.—lt will be seen by an advertisement in another column, that the Frederick coun ty Bank was entered by burglars between last Saturday evening and Monday morn ing, and pillaged of a large proportion of its most valuable property. The thieves, it appears, conveyed away in gold the a mount of Sit),o49; in notes and bills of other banks and checks, $3,733 ; in notes of the Frederick co. bank, $134,907 ; State 0 per cent, bonds, $0,000; State 6 per ct. certificates, $14,000 ; 0 per cent, sterling bonds, $12,222; making in the aggregate $185,970. At a meeting of the President and Directors of the Bank yesterday, it was resolved to offer a reward of SIO,OOO for the recovery of the money, or proportion ately for a part, and the detection of the thieves as explained in the advertisement. We learn that the key of one of the doors of the Bank was found yesterday in a creek about a hundred yards from the building, and a dark lanthern was found upon a bridge in the vicinity. Baltimore Sun. More Discoveries. —Farther discoveries of fraud have been made at the Bank of Louisiana. There is no knowing at pre sent where the late rascality will end.— The account of one gentleman appeared by the ledger of the Bank to be overdrawn $l,lOO, but on examination it was discov ered that several entries which should have gone to his credit, had been omitted. They were pocketed by the amiable youths for whom large rewards are now offered by the Bank.— Crescent City. Frankfort Bank. —The Stockholders of this bank appear determined to have justice done to its officers, if the law will reach them. The President has been arrested on a charge of swindling, on complaint of cer tain persons interested, and bound over for trial. Ihe substance of the charge against him we understand to be, that lie took the funds of the bank, sold it at par, received pay for it, kept the profits, and paid the bank for its funds used in the speculation in wild land at s'2 50 an acre, which was worth nothing ! There is considerable ex citement in Frankfort upon this subject. Bangor Democrat. The Baltimore Sun of the 27th ult., says “ We learned last evening that one of the officers ofthe Merchants’ Bank of this city, yesterday received a letter frpns an officer of a New-Yorlt Bank, in which an account was kept, stating that his “ last check for $2,000 had overdrawn the amount on de posite,” or words to that effect. The an nouncement was somewhat startling, and an examination took place, when it was as ccrtaincd that the New-York Bank should have some SB,OOO or SIO,OOO to his credit. The supposition is, that another successful forgery has been perpetrated. BANK DEFALCATION. Rumour was rife yesterday, founded up on the authority of private letters received in this city, that Macon has been the thea tre of another Bank robbery, which lias just been detected in the Branch of the Central Rail Road Bank, in Macon. The Cashier of the Bank is said to he the individual, who disregarding the plain precepts of the eighth commandment, lias lined his pockets with tiie needful. We have not been able to learn the precise extent of the deficit in his cash account, but all seem to concur in the opinion, that it is quite large, probably twenty thousand dollars. A few more such disclosures, as these Macon exhibits, and Georgia will stand in the front rank of bank robberies. This is another of tiie curses of an inflaltd, irredeemable, non-specie paying currency. The whole country be comes deranged with the mania for specu lation, and growing suddenly rich, and some of those who cannot obtain riches by fair means, steal whenever an opportunity presents. — Augusta Chronicle. Another Honorable Forger. —The Hon orable Asa Child, of Norwich, lately Presi dent of the Norwich and Worcester Rail road Company, lias absconded with about $40,000, obtained from that institution by peculation and forgery. He was last seen in Philadelphia, en route ii was supposed for Texas. 11c was appointed District At torney of Connecticut by Gen. Jackson, and was a candidate for Van Buren Elector of President last fall. In alluding to this cir cumstance the Tribune of this morning says, “Our neutral Locofoco journals arc most vociferous in cackling over the vil lainy and disgrace of Mitchell, because lie was once trusted by the Whigs, hut they have nothing to say of Child’s notorious ras calities. Perhaps they do not consider it so wonderful that a locofoco dignitary should prove a rascal as they would if he were a Whig. Mow is this ? New- York Times. The following additional particulars respecting the bank robbery in Maryland, we copy from the Baltimore American of May 27. THE FREDERICK COUNTY BANK ROBBERY. The Frederick Examiner of yesterday, has the following particulars respecting the recent Bank Robbery in that city: The Bank was entered, it is thought, on Saturday night last. A key was found in the Creek, near the City Mill on Saturday morning. A dark lantern of rude construc tion was also found. The key was filed off and filled up till it was made to fit ihe lock oftlie exterior door oftlie Bank quite as well as tho key which belongsto it. The lamp does not seem as if it had been the production of a workman and looks as if it had been in the service before. We under stand that two men were seen taking a box to the corner oftlie bank and seating them selves upon it for the purpose, doubtless, of keeping watch while tho robbers were progressing with their work. A spur with the strap broken, was found in the vault. The progress oftlie robbers was obstruc ted by seven locks, some of them of the most complex construction. The street door must have been entered some time since, and the villains have been at work doubtless, for some weeks in discovering tho secret springs of the three locks in the outer door of the vault and of taking im pressions for the purpose of making suita ble keys. All the contents of the iron chest, in the vault, were taken without any discrimina tion—including some of the issues of the Frederick corporation notes that were laid aside as unfit for use in consequence of being worn out,&c. Os the silver, none of which was in the chest, they took but ten dollars. This is one ofthe boldest and largest rob beries that we have ever heard of, and the excitement and commotion which it has caused in our quiet town is such as we have never seen here before. Many persons suspect, and there are cir cumstances which justify the suspicion, that the robbers have gone to the south west. It would be well that the police in that and in all directions should keep a careful look-out. The doors of the bank were immediate ly closed upon the detection of the robbery. The capital paid in was $175,000 and the amount of funds of every description taken is a few thousand dollars more than the capital paid in. TO THIS PUBLIC. To afford all the information in my pow er, in reference to the robbery committed on the Frederick county Bank, 1 have thought it proper to submit the following statement, on oath, as to the manner in which I have kept the keys of the Bank. HENRY DOYLE, Cashier. I have been engaged in the Frederick county Bank, as Teller and Cashier, ever since its establishment, which was in the year 1818. I have always had charge of the keys of the Banking-room, and the vaults of the Bunk, since 1 have become Cashier, which was in 1833. It has been my invariable custom to conceal in private places in the Bank and Vaults, all the keys except my key to the outer door of the house and two of the keys of the outer Vaults, which commands the entrance to the vault, in which all the funds and valu able books, papers and deposits arc kept, and on which outer vault door the greatest reliance for security is placed. These two keys to the outer vault I always took home, immediately after closing the Bank at the usual hour in the evening, and locked them up in a small drawer in tiie family sitting renin of mv residence. The key of that drawer I kept myself, and the room was al ways carefully secured at night. The key to the outer door of the Banking House, I at all times kept about me in my pocket. On last Saturday evening, after closing the fvunk, tiie keys were disposed of by in.’ as usual. On Monday morning I unlocked the drawer in which 1 had deposited the keys, and found them where anil as s had put them. 1 went up to the Bank accord ing to custom, and when 1 entered every tiling, to outward appearance, was as I had left it, on closing the previous Saturday, the keys in the Bank were w here I had put tin ni, and 1 was not made sensible that a robbery had been committed until I opened the iron chest in the inner vault, and found that its w hole contents were gone. I would also mention that the Book-keeper and the Porter to the Bunk, each keep a key to the outer or front door of tin* Banking House, as well as myself. 1 will further add that 1 have never missed out of my own posses sion, or from the places in which 1 have deposited them, any of the keys of the Bank under my charge. HENRY DOYLE, Cashier. On the 25th day of May, 1841, Henry j Doyle, the Cashier of the Frederick county | Bank, appeared before the subscriber, one | °f the Associate Judges of the Fifth Judi , c:a l District of the State of Maryland, and ■ made oadi on tiie Holy Evangelists of Al mighty Cod that the aforegoing statement is true. AB’M. SIIRIVER. NOTES OF THE KNOXVILLE BRANCH. The subjoined letter from the President of the Knoxville Branch of the S. W. R. It. Bank, will show that the notes of that Branch have been permitted to fall below par ; and will serve additionally to confirm our position that their credit ought to he supported by the mother Bank in Charles ton. Not only has the Knoxville Branch never suspended specie payments, hut its notes are receivable in payment of public dues at the treasuries of S. Carolina, N. Carolina, and Tennessee.— Courier. “ Branch S. W. R. R. Bank, i Knoxville, (Tenn.) May 18, 1841. \ Editors of the Courier, —I have observed in the Courier, the notes of this brancli are quoted at a discount of ten per cent. I hope no holder of our bills has suffered loss by this quotation. This Branch lias, up to this moment, taken up its circulation in specie, and the provision of the 26th section of the Bank Charter makes its notes receiv able at the treasuries of tiie States ofSouth Carolina, North Carolina, and Tennessee. 1 have to request you to publish in the Courier the section entire for the protection of innocent holders of our issues A copy is appended. 1 am, very’ respectfully, yours, &c. J. G. RAMSEY, President.” “See. 26. The Notes of the said Bank shall be receivable at the treasuries of the several States in which it is chartered, in payment of public dues, so long as the said Bank shall redeem its notes with specie.” Cor. of the Charleston Courier. Washington, May 28. The city is thronged with members ot Congress and strangers. Among the Sen ators already here are Mr. Clay and Mr. Preston, both apparently in good health and fine spirits. They have such a distinguish ed duty to perform at this session, in rc moddeling the policy of’ the government. Mr. Preston’s position is one of command ing importance, for on his vote will proba bly depend the late of some of the leading Whig measures. It is now universally be lieved that the President will abstain from recommending a National Bank in his Message, but that he will propose some measure for the immediate relief of the treasury and of the currency. The issue of the government of exchequer bills, to serve the purpose of a uniform currency, to facilitate the collection of the revenue and enable the government to meet its pressing engagements has been favorably spoken of. Mr. Calhoun, was, some time ago, in favor of some project of this sort. The message is looked for with extreme interest. It will affect the value of some two hundred millions of State stocks, and of a vast amount of local stocks. 1 believe that all the candidates for the Speaker’s chair, are now here. The most prominent of them are Messrs. Dawson of Ga., White of Kentucky, Wise of Va., W. Cost Johnson of Md., and Cushing and Briggs of Mass. There will be infinite dif ficulty in agreeing upon a candidate.— Merit and qualifications have little to do with the choice. Local feeling has much more concern in it. I hear that the north ern and eastern members are averse to settling the question in a caucus. Messrs. F. O. J. Smith, of Maine, lately a prominent conservative member of the House, and Matthew St. Clair Clarke, for merly and for many years Clerk of the House, are the prominent candidates for the clerkship of the House. Mr. Clarke will probably be elected. Bad Signs. —We are apprehensive, that the Editor of the Enquirer will be disap pointed in his expected nomination by the Abolition Convention. These worthies it appears, by the following, are wooing each other, and have not time to make any 110 m in at ion.— Rich. I Vhig. From the New York Courier. THE PROGRESS OF ABOLITIONISM The recent revelations before the assembled wisdom of antislavery agitators in this ci ty, are about enough, we should think, to cure the Southern” chivalry” of its stom archful fury fora fight with Nothern fanat icism. There really is not half so much of the commodity to be found North of the Potomac as there is South of it. Indeed, it must be the very worst kind of fanaticism that, is so tar “out of its head” as to imag ine, or pretend to in:agine, that there is a ny tiling among the scattered and broken down gentry, calling tin ms; Ives abolition ists, worthy of a m nnent's notice —much los-i of a incur in s ung.’i , or apprehension. Both branches of tin: precious philanthro pist, who glory in the name in which wo have twice in *iitiom*d and therefore men - tioned once too much, met a day or two since iii this city, and inning quarrelled among themselves they met in separate conventicles. Ihe Tappan troops having been properly denied the use of a respecta ble church in Madison street, which they have formerly desecrated by their black and white bickerings, convened somewhere in Thompson street. This “arm” of the crusade is much the most rational and the most respectable, and its proceedings wer marked we understand, with rather the most decorum. It was like the other part of the concern, under Garrison, exceedin"-- ly and beautifully abusive of its fellow la borers in mischief. Nothing has ever been said ofeitherof them half so had as they seem to delight in saying of each other. Both assemblages represent their pros pects in the gloomiest colors ; and, it’ wo can understand the statistics of their aft airs they are “growing no better very fast.”— They are poor in purse, they certainly are bankrupt in reputation ; and they find it almost impossible to get money enough to keep uji even the skeleton of an organiza tion. They have been obliged to dismiss their'principal officers for want of money to pay them ; and on the whole their af fairs are about as forlon as the worst ene mies of evil, or the firmest friends of the country could w ish. In one w ord, and in perfect seriousness and sincerity we can assure the people of the United .States, and the very sensitive citizens of the South in particular, that it is utterly ridiculous to expend even a stray thought upon these creatures. Contemptible as tin y are in trinsically, they are managing to make themselves more so, if possible, by the a mount of contempt and contumely which they bestow with so much unction upon each other. SOMETHING GOOD. Mere is a delectable morceau from the pen of Amos Kendall. It was written in j 1829, after his appointment as Fourth Au ditor, and published in the official journal of that day. The heart of that amiable in dividual must leap for joy at a prospect of a speedy practice of his long cherished prin ciples by a Whig Administration ! We commend the letter lo tho special consideration of the howling Ogre of the Globe and the disconsolate Fly-up-tlic- Creck of the Enquirer : “ Franklin Mills,) Ohio, Sept. 0, ’29. “To reform measures, there must be a | change of men. Without a change of men. j fraud cannot he punished ; delinquencies | cannot be detected; unlawful allowances j cannot he stopped ; improper modes of do ing business, and irregular practises in of. 1 lice, can never be corrected. Do not all offices belong to the People ? Wluit right have the incumbents to them more than oth- J ers ? No wrong is done to the man who is i removed, for he is deprived of no right, it is the duty ofthe President, and all others to whom tho People have entrusted the power, to remove their subordinate whenev er they believe the public interest requires it. So fascinating is power, and so corrup ting the long possession of office, that l be lieve the chances fora pure administration would be much greater were a limit ofeight or ten years prescribed, heyomi which no man should he competent to hold any oftlie subordinate offices at Washington. It, is the policy ofoffice-holders to create an im j pression that their offices arc private rights ; that they are wronged when removed ; that they have a right to demand the reasons for their removal, and have them formally set forth. When the People assent to a doctrine like *.his, you may bid farewell to all hope of reform, however great may he the abuses ofour Government. We shall haveCierks, Auditors, Comptrollers, Regis ters, Treasurers and Secretaries for life ; bad customs will never be corrected ; erro neous principles will prevail forever ; pre cedent will take the place of laws; tho of ficial corps at Washington will govern the Union ; and if we do not have Presidents for life, we shall have entailed upon us for ever a succession from one office to another preserving the unity ofthe official phalanx, and perpetuating all their opinions and abu ses. In my opinion, th : People have more cause to fear too few removals than too many. “AMOS KENDALL.” TRA NSCE NI fENTALISM. A correspondent of a Now York paper asked, with great eagerness and propriety, the meaning of the word “transcendental ism,” which is considerably used at present with reference to german literature and its imitators. He is thus answered : “Transcendentalism is the spiritual cog noeence of psycological irrefragibility con nected with concutient ademption of ineol uminent spirituality and etherialized con tention of subsultory concretion. There can be no mistake about the mat ter now. V. S. Gazette. Important Decision. —lt has been deci ded in one of the Pensylvania Courts, that the arbitrary practice adopted by the Banks since the second suspension, of entering in the Bank book of depositors and of posting the same over the counters, that the Bank would not hold itself liable to pay deppsi- | tors in any other funds than such as were 1 current at the time of deposite, is not law, j and that the Banks arc all bound to pay j specie for all their deposites: that such a notice is not contract between the parties.— j Bro. Jonathon. Mormons. —Two hundred and thirty-se- j ven Mormons lately arrived at New Or- , leans, from England. They, reached St. ! Louis on the 14th ult. on their way to I Nauveo. TANARUS: 1 False Weight.:. —The iiiqstcoinn: on mode of cheating, by menus of false weights, is to have the balance so constructed, that when both scab s are empty they shall hang oven, but, at the same time, have one arm of tjtc balance longer than the other; then although the weights used may he just, yet, being put into the scale suspended from the short arm, much less than an equal weight will bring the balance even.
