• Juts been '^ e custom of poets, from tho earliest
• j„ down to the present, to represent their heroes
‘ : en Just in one absorbing passion, the tnaiu-
, j, r - ,,f their actions, as calling- upon all objects,
• natc and inanimate, and pouring out to them
ti).- pent-up feelings of their hearts. As illustra-
. of >Ms, I turn to the 3d Pastoral of Pope.—
Here—
-.“Tuneful Ilylas, with melodious moan,
Taught rocks to weep, and made the mountains
groan.’’
Here arc extracts from his ‘"melodious moan”—
“Go. gentle gales ami bear my sighs away,
rj,| Delia s ear the tender notes convey.
Assume sad turtle his lost lovedeplores.
^,,1, with deep murmurs fills the sounding shores;
Thus, far from Delia, to the winds I mourn,
Alike unheard, unpitied and forlorn:
Go, gentle gales, and bear my sighs along!
Yar her the feather’d quires neglect their song:
For her the limes their pleasing shades deny:
For her the lilies hang their heads and die.
y, dowers that droop, forsaken by the spring,
y,. lards, that, left by Summer, cease to sing,
Yc trees, that fade, when Autumn heats remove
Siv, is not absence degth to those who love?”
Had the Thcrsites of the Della lived during the
davs of Pope, he would probably have come out
with a slashing review of the Pastoral above quo
t .] fiom, and would have used the following
f liasti and classic language:—“Ilelas monmetli to
the winds: hut, as might have been expected, he
eouldn t quite come it over those winds: for Mr.
J’ope informs us that he was
“Alike unheard, unpitied and forlorn ”
“Getting no satisfactory information, or in f >ct
no information at all, from these winds, he per k ts
in addressing the most insane inquiries to all the
fowl, flowers, trees, and other objects which sur-
tuund him:”—
And the result of this would have been that the
“literary editor,” failing in his purpose, from
want ot proper weight, to find a coveted place in
the Duuriad, might possibly have been honored
by being impaled as a beetle upon a needle, upon
the point of some such epigram as that which
f .und the vital* of poor old Dennis when he ven
ted his vain rage against the translator of Homer
Take the epigram referred to, insert Delta fur Diu-
vis, and it will read thus:—
‘should Delta publish’you had stabbed your broth
er.
Lampoon’d your monarch, or debauch'd your
mother
Say what revenge on Delta can be had?
T“u dull for laughter, for reply too mad:
( >ii one so poor you cannot take the law;
On one so old, your sword you scorn to draw;
1 'ucjigedthen let the harmless monster rage,
Scour- in dullness, madness, want, and age.”
Now I wish it distinctly understood that in the
quotations I have made from Horace and Pope—
(and I might have quoted from scores of other
poets, passages equally applicable)—I do not
do so for the purpose of changing the judgment of I
the Delta man. but merely to show, as tho attorney
once said to the court,concerning Plackstone, upon
r uling a passage from the commentator after
his Honor’s decision—merely to show what fools
the Homan and English poets were, when com
pared with the “literary edi er.”
The “critic” beads ins article “A cold and unsuc
cessful Hunt”—referring to Dr. Kane's bunt after
S.r. John, He then advised Mr. Turner to go and
laid Dr. Kane:—
It should be a source cf gratification to Mr. T.
that were he to do so he might be able to say to
toe “literary editor” as Lazarus did to Dives, “be
tween thee and me is a great gulf fixed:” for the
•‘critic’s” end will not be tlia f of a cold hunt, but
in a place possessing considerable warmth, since
ho is by nature removed just far enough from the
condition of an irresponsible agent, not to be en
tirely without thy pale of accountability.

Certify to their neighbor* from day to dny 9
the wonderful effect* of
DAVIS’ PAIN KILLER.
Mr. J. N. Harris:—Dear Sir:—Your favor of the 2Stli
ultimo is at baud, aud in reply will say. We began sel
ling Perry Davis’ Pain Killer, and with very little effort
on our part; sales were small at first, but as it became
known in our cmivmmity, the demand increased very
rapidly, far beyond our expectations, aud every person
that bought it would come after more, and speak in the
highest terras of it as a valuable remedy for all those dis
ease your pamphlet spoke of. From these recom
mendations we were induced to use it in our own fami
lies, aud the good effect* of the medicine were immedi
ately apparent. We now continue its use with great
satisfaction. We have sold more of the Pain Killer
than we have ever siuce or before of any other medi
cine in the same length of time; and we do not hesitate
to say that it has given better satisfaction to the pur
chaser than any other article we have ever sold. Hur
ry of business has prevented our sending certificates,
but we have in our vicinity from fifteen hundred to
two thousand living witnesses who testify to their
neighbors, day by day, of the value of Davis’ Pain
Killer; and thus the circulation of its influence is be
ing constantly enlarged.
K»ep a large supply in the West, it is just such a
medicine as the people want, and they have already
found out that they can cure the Fever aud Ague for
twenty-five cents.
The more we sell, the better we are convinced that
Perry Davis’ Vegetable Pain Killer will take the place
and throw out ot use, more than two-thirds of all the
nostrums now selling so profusely throught the West.—
Why shouldn’t it? It will cure a cold iu one hour—a
severe cough in one night—and has peoved to be the
best medicine ill use for a diseased stomach and many
other purposes. Yours, &c.

And what capacity does the Tribune show for
criticism? Any more than Mr. Turner, according
to its showing,does for writing poetry? Chang
ing its proposition and injunction a word or two,
it should take them home to itself:—“criticism is a
tiling of art, as well as conception: and let no
man who has not the art ever attempt to criticise.'
The Tribune lit) doubt, adopts this sentiment:—
“A man must serve his time to every trade,
Save censure: critics all are ready made.”
And so they are, surh as those of the Tribune,
who use—I give but a single specimen—such lan
guage as this:—
“But finally, after the navigator had nearly en
quired of every fish and other natural thing," &c.
Now the “navigator,” did not nrarhj enquire,
1 lit quite enquired, according to my reading of the
] ueni: And as to fish, and "other natural things”
probably the editors meant "lire things, or creeping
Unngs,' as, like women, so written about by Sher-
i lian, in bis celebrated repartee:—
“Editors wiit talk of what runs in their heads.”
Or perhaps a fellow-feeling made the editors speak
of their congeners—“otlie*' natural things”—since
they themselves are natural things, or—what is the
same thing—NATURALS.
It is evident that the Tribune stoVe its article from
the Delta, or the Delta stoie its thunder from the
Tribune. (1 know not which bears the prior
date, as I get the Delta article second hand.) To
steal such specimens of a^ininity as form the sia-
ple of the “criticisms” I am examining, is a case
of the pettiest larceny the world ever saw. If the
Tribune filched from the Delta, it showed there
was a depth of)ilegradation,errn it was unwilling to
sound—for it forbore to steal the head-notes —
Hut it had not quite so much discretion as the Del
ta, for it inveighs against the Buchanan Ode, and
thus shows the cause of its ferocity: whilst the
!>■ Ita attempts to conceal the cause of its saVagc-
1! ess.
But how do I know that one article is stolen
from the other ? In the first place each quotes
U rn the poem the same eight stanzas, and those
Uglit stanzas only : 2dly, in the second line quo
ted, the same words occur in brackets, in both
anieles, thus, [‘ that is. Dr. Kane:”] '.Irdlv. in quo
ting the couplet, which in the poem stands—
“Up sprang in his pathway a monster,
With countenance grizzly and grim—”
bu*’; articles have misprinted "dim" for "grim
■!:hly, both articles give the proem, as the origin of
title of the poem, in the same context: 5tli!y,
deles inform us that Dr. Kane got no “sat-
i ’dory” answer (o his queries : Cthly, we are in
formed by both the “criticisms,” in identical words
—“This monster turns out to be Death :” Tthly
f' voial identical, or similar witicisms, areemploy-
t J by both writers.
To appreciate fully the reasons I have given
here for saying one article has been stolen from
the other, both must be seen and collated.
And now. since I come to think of it, I am con
vinced that the Delta “critic” had never seen the
hoi k which lie “criticised,” but took the article of
t!i“ Tribune, and by using his scissors and paste,
and altering the order of arrangement a lit tie,
throwing in a witicism or two of his own, or .sto
len els '-where, presented to his readers another
man's editorial as his own brilliant effusion. What
is to be thought of such “criticism”? In the lan
guage of the Tribune, I say of these blundering
articles—full of grammatical errors, stupidity and
ignorance :—“Nothing more need be said. I only
hop- that Southern literature will not be mea-ur-
id by these specimens of it.”
But 1 will say a thing or two more The Mobile
Tribune should not attempt to criticise poetry.
V u.f.ntines and Salcy-Men may be able to
v. .he very appropriate political squibs—appropri
ate. because so. little, and that of a very mean
s 'i t. is required for the purpose. ' But they ven-

“Vindicated,” with n vengeance!
The Journal A Messenger “sees sights” some
times; but in the present instance, we think its ed
itor either looked without his spectacles, or wrote
without any very clear perception of what he
wanted to say. Speaking of the present state of
the Kansas question, he says:
“Yes, Kansas, lost Kansas, free Kansas, “is a
dead lock upon the legislation of the country,”
and the South is likely to reap the experience of
Falstaff, and get an intolerable deal ot chaff, whilst
the bread is found in Northern baskets. Ameri
canism, at last, stands forth vindicated by its
enemies 1”
If Kansas is “lust Kansas” to the South, which
we are not prepared to admit, how, in the name
of common sense, does that fact vindicate the
“ American l’arty ?” Does the editor of the j
Journal Sf Messenger mean to say that the Amer
ican Party didn’t want Kansas, was opposed to
Kansas, and now stands vindicated, because Kan- j
sas has not yet got in the Union? That is the
only way we can .see how “ Americanism ” has
been vindicated. Will the Journal Sf Messenger \
dare tell its readers the startling fact that, but for |
the opposition of certain prominent “Americans,”
Kansas would, in all probability, be a State of the
Union at this time? But we forget—the Know j
Nothings have all the time been opposed to Kan
sas—Kansas has not yet got iu the Union—the
Know Nothings have triumphed—“Americanism
stands forth, at last, vindicated”—and brother
Knowles is happy. But don’t be too confident,
Mr. Knowles—Kansas stands a good chance to
get in yet, in spite of your Winter Davises—your I
vindication may prove as unsubstantial and short j
lived, as was the glory of “ubiquitous Sam.” I
Keep cool, brother.
Tie SticbiiiDiiil Enquirer.
This paper has been so long and ardently at- |
Etched t“ Gov. Wise, it hesitates to take issue j
boldly with its old friend, on the Kansas policy I
of the Administration. The Enquinr argues that j
the difference of opinion dividing Mr. Buchanan
aud Mr. Douglas should not, aud must not, be
made a cause of separation between old friends.
And, that as no principle of the party is violated,
by Mr. Douglas, there is no reason why he aud
other Demociats should be excommunicated.—
Without coinciding in, or dissenting front, this
view of the Enquirer, we may say, that this ques
tion is made an issue on the Black Republican side,
why should it not he made an issue on the Demo
cratic side? If voting against the admission of!
Kansas under the Lecompton Constitution, fits a j
man for the political society of Greely and Black |
Republicans, should not such conduct as properly
unfit him for political fellowship with sound
national Democrats? Mr. Greely docs not care
to go back of the present Congress, and to hunt
up past records—all he asks is, that the man shall
be opposed to the admission of Kansas under the
Lecompton Constitution—and he is straightway
saint enough for admission into Greely’s Church-
If, then, voting this way makes a Democrat so
rotten as to entitle him to the commendation ofthe
double-dyed Abolitionists, ought it not to render
him totally unfit to commune with sinton pure De
mocrats? Ifour friends of the Enquirer can explain
to us satisfactorily the reason lor Greely’s ini
lnense satisfaction u ilh the course of Douglas
and Gov. Wise, aud that reason shall in nowise
contpromit the integrity of Democratic faith, we
will help him, all we can, to keep down the issue
between Gov. Wise and the Administration De
mocracy, and declare the one as good a Democrat
as the others are. Otherwise we sltali be com
pelled to consider the Governor a voluntary se-
ceder from the Party, and entitled to the best op
position we can give him to the “bitter “nd."
Greely’* Invitation lo Dsuglas Se C*.
The avidity with which Horace Greely seizes
upon the disaffection of a few North' rn Demo
cratic members of Congress, to press them in to
the Black Republican service as recruits, evi
dences to our mind, the desperate state to which
tin- forces ofithis party was reduced by the signal
triumph of the Democracy last fall. From Greely’s
last pronimciamento, we conclude that he is ready
to receive as converts to his laith, and as brethren,
all men who refuse to sanction the admission ot
Kansas under the Lecompton Constitution But
let us hear Mr. Greely.
“To us the path of duty is plain. Henceforth,
to the end of this struggle, we know all who re
sist tho impositiou ot the Lecoiaptou fraud ou
■Kansas as brethren, while we regard those who
upbu il that fraud as deadly enemies, aud not
merely to Kansas aud to the republican party,
blit to the principles of American independence,
the inalienable rights of man. Politically, tho
champions of that traud are our enemies; its op
ponents, so far as they are willing to be so, are
our friends. We shall urge the re-election of
every democrat or American member of Congress
alio resists the Lecompton fraud to the bitter end,
aud tfi.-n declares himself the determined and
presistent adversary of its authors aud abettors,
as demanded alike by fidelity to principle aud to
the interest of freedom.”
This is a broad and general invitation, but is
intended especially for Senator Douglas, Gov
Wise and their friends. Will they accept the in
vitation? The idea of establishing a respectable
party inside the Democratic party, but outsid the
policy of tiie present national Administration, is
absurd, and Mr. Douglas is not such a fool as to
entenuiii it seriously. What is he after, then?
Does he iuteud to take brueider Greely’s arm aud
walk with that distinguished tvooly head at tho
head of the procession? It may seem difficult to
put any other construction upon the erratic course
of the little giant,” but we, for one, are not pre
pared to believe that Douglas will accept the
leadership of the Black Republicans. Even if h
did, he would have first to supplant such men as
Hale, Seward, Wade, Chase, and McLean; men
who bear scars item past conflicts with the South,
aud who will prove more than equals for Mr.
Douglas, if the latter should attempt to dethrone
them. We are quite sure that Mr. Douglas is a
shrewd man; and as the Presidency is what hi
aims for, he will not stake his fortunes on a terli
um quid party. The ghost of Mr. Webster will
prove terrible enough to drive that idea out ofhis
head. What then will he do? it may be asked
He will endeavor to control tho Democratic Con
volition iu iSbt). aud until he fails there, it is our
opinion he will still work in and for the Demo
cratic party. Horace Greely, we think, will not
catch the “little giant” yet awhile. Doaglas is
not yet prepared to take a seat by Horace Greely
llis policy now will be, to carry the Convention
in bit. But he will fail, for Pennsylvania aud
aud New-York will not back him; and the united
South will be against him.
.131:eli ado about Nothing.
W. H. Seward, the cunning mischief-making
Abolition Senator from New Y’ork, has lately
made a bragging boasting irritating speech in
the Senate of the United States; in which be
made many false statements, and drew many ab
surd conclusions, calculated and intend to chafe
and irritate Southern men Among many other
false statements, be declared that the battle be
tween slavery and anti-slavery bad been fought,
and that the slave power had been conqured. No
one knows the absurdity and falsehood of such a
statement better than Win. II. Seward. lie knows
that at every point iu the national councils the
Abolitionists have lately been signally defeated.
The President and bis Cabinet are opposed to them;
a majority of both bouses of Congress with their
presiding officers are opposed to them. The Su
preme Court is opposed to them, and they have
been defeated in every favorite measure they
have lately attempted to carry. Besides ail these'
popular opinion in many of the Northern States is
evidently turning against them. The able State
papers emanating from President I’ierce and
President Buchanan and the able arguments in the
Died Scot case have produced a healthy reaction iu
the popular mind on the subject of negro slavery,
and in our opinion never since tho slavery contro
versy commenced, have the institutions of the
South stood on so firm a foundation as at present.
They are seen to be necessary to the manufactur
ing, the commercial, and the political prosperity
of the country. Win. II. Seward sees and feels
ail this; be knows that unless the Democracy can
be divided he stands no earthly chance of ever
being President, llis whole object now is to irri
tate any if possible to divide the National Democra
cy ou sectional questions. He knows at vvhat point
the Southern Democracy is most sensitive, and in
bis late speech he tries very hard to convince the
South that she is in a hopeless condition, aud it
would seem that he has really frightened soma of
our contemporaries. Many petsons at the South
have suddenly taken the alarm, and despaired of
the Republic, and to prove that their alarm is well
founded they quote this speech of Win. II. Seward.
Whi n before were the bold assertions of Win. IL
Seward taken fur law or gospel? Who made
him a Priest or a Prophet to declare to the South
the decrees of fate? And above all which ofhis
former predictions have proved true? not one.
His whole speech is the over-flowing of gait and
bitterness at the disappointment of his hopes.
He intended to irritate and chafe Southern men,
and he has partially succeeded; but by venting
his spleen, he has only shown the bitterness ofhis
chtigrine and disappointment.
<>iiuiill Bnuli Bill*.
We invite the attention cf our readers to the
following extracts from the able report of tbe late
Juint Committee ot the Legislature of Louisiana
on the subject of Banks and Banking. It will be
remembered that the Banks of this State did not
suspend specie payment in the late pressure. The
committee think it necessary to prohibit in future
the issue of all bills under twenty dollars and thus
cause specie to take the place of these small notes
in all the common transactions of life. It will be
recollected that Gov. Cobb in his late repjrt as
Secretary of the Treasury makes a similar recom
mendation to tbe States generally.
The Committee say:
“The task of this Committee is not yet accom
plished, for it is not alone sufficient to point out
evils, but likewise to apply remedies. They are of
opinion tliat the circulation of small Bank notes is
politically aud socially an evil which ought to bo
promptly r medied.
Politically, the tendency of small bank notes is
undoubtedly-to drive away the pn emus metals,
irom the country where they are allowed. Their
comparative superiority for daily uso, and trans
portation, offers an inducement which can hardly
be resisted; their intrinsic worth is lost sight of, in
view of the apparent worthlessness of the materi
al being oniy a repn seutatiou of value, and not a
value ot itseif. lienee the depreciation ofthe pre
cious metals, and their exportation lo those coun
tries w here the science of banking is unknown,
until a sudden revulsion in the public mind causing
an immediate demand tor coin enhances the value
of tbe latter beyond its proper measure. Tbe smal
ler the circulating notes, the sooner will precious
metals einigiate; and every citizen of Louisiana
may well temember the time when, by the abun
dant issue o shin plaster circulation ot the former
Municipalities ot New Orleans, gold, and even sil
ver change, ot tho smallest description had almost
become a rarity.
If an illustration of a higher order were requir
ed, it may be all ged that, w hiist tbe Bank ot
France issued no notes under one thousand francs
($dt)0,j he: metalie currency amounted per head,
to over forty per cent, more than it is now when it
is allowed to emit issues as low as one hundred
Hanes (tjjrJn.)
In a social point of view it is necessary that
Government should guard the working classes
against tho impositions, losses, or even panics, to
which bank paper as subject. The mechanic who
receives two dollars a day or twelve dollars a week
must under no circumstances be allow ed to slitter,
in the payment ofhis salary, from the consequences
of a commercial crisis or fluctuation. For him the
means of information are limited, and want often
drives him to accept the price of his hard earned
wages in any currency his employer may choose to
givo him. Should a crisis arise, how ever short,
liu is the first, nay the only suli'erer; lor lie cannot
hold ou to his paper money until tho bank has re
sumed pa,) meat. The eager cravings ol hunger;
the wauls of his family, urge him to part with mat
noteat any sacrifice whatever; and the l)nx-eyed
shaver is not w anting in exaggerating the li ars
whice the poor man entertains as to his ability to
niocurehis daily bread, until finally compelled to
give himself up to ihe mercy of tbe greedy aud
heartless speculator. As a general rule all tire loss
which ibis class of community may positively sut
ler, in ease of a temporary suspension of an ulti
mately solvent bank, is actually incurred by him
within a few days after said suspension. That time
elapsed the pimple are no longer interested; and it
is the stock jobber aud speculator who looks for
ward :o the eventual realization of iris doubtfully
acquired gain. To guard against such evils is the
sacred duty of the law-giver; in faet that duly iu
the poorer classes of society is paramount lo all
others iu connection with banking institutions.—
Therefore your Committee have come to the con
clusion to recommend tho prohibition by all lawful
nteaus of the circulation of bank notes under $20.
Again, the committee while speakiug ofthe circu
lation under #2:1, say, ‘The withdrawal of a circula
tion which on the 21st of January last, reached the
enormous amount ofone million seven hundred and
thirty-six thousand eight hundred and ninety dol
lary, or upwards of one third ofthe entire issue of
our banks, cannot be expected to take place sud
denly, lest it might seriously affect the equilibrium
of a circulation in which those notes form so im
portant a part. Time must be given to the precious
metals to take their place by degrees, and without
anv commotion. With this view your Committee
have prepared and do now report a bill (marked ,
and hereunto annexed) by which it is provided that
from and after the first day of October 1858 no bank
shall issue or re-i>suo any note of a less denomin
ation than ten dollars: and from and after the first
day of October 18-59 none of a less denomination
than twenty dollars.
To guard however, against an)’ attempt to flood
this State with live and ten dollar notes of the
banks of other States, the same bill contains strin
gent provisions against introducing and circulat
ing in this State any such note of a less denomina
tion than twenty dollars.”

The reader will find a most interesting article in
this paper, under the caption, “The Mormons in
Utah.” We copy it from the Washington Union,
which alludes to it Editorally in these wo.ds.
We publish to-day a letter from Dr. Hurt, Indi
an agent of tin- United States, giving an elaborate
and calm representation of the condition of affairs
in Utah. It is addressed to Governor Gumming,
is the statement of one officer of the federal gov
ernment to another, and is important for its semi
official character, for the impress of truth and sin
cerity stamped in every line of it, and for the
shocking artroerties it describes.
The Union says no one can read the graphic
recital of Dr. Hurt and fail to discover evidence of
a terrorism in Utah, recalling the worst days of
Robespierre and Danton.

Majority Report ol' Ihe Select Lommiltee of
Thirteen to Investigate Kansas Affairs.
Washington, March 11,1858.
Mr. Stephens endeavored yesterday, unsuc
cessfully, to introduce the report expressive of the
views of the majority of tho Kansas Investigating
Committee. The report commences by saying
that the subject matter to which attention should
be directed was.
1st. The law for taking the census of the peo
ple.
2d. The law for calling the convention.
3d. The registry of the voters, and the appoint
ment under it.
4ih. The assembling ofthe convention and its
journal.
5th. The Constitution, so made.
fith. The official vote on the ratification of the
subject submitted.
The committee filed, not deeming it material,
the act of December last, providing for a vote for
or against the slavery clause on the 4th of January.
8. The official announcement of that vote, and.
9. The written statement of Gen. Calhoun in
relation to the registry of votes etc., (but which
sheds no light ou the subject.)
The report says that those.facts show great regu
larity and strict conformity to law aud that no
State heretofore applying for admission has shown
a cleaner record.
No objection to the admission of Kansas arises on
the usual inquiries—first, as to the application—
secondly, as to the regularity of the proceedings—
and thirdly, whether the Constitution is Republican
in form.
The report then answers the objections, going
very fully into a reply to Gov. Walker’s argument,
founded on his assumption tliat the validity of
every State Constitution depends on its having
received the sanction of a popular vote. This as
sumption is denied, as not being sustained by
principle or authority. “Sovereignty,” Gov. Wal
ker says,“is inalienable, and rests exclusively in
the people.” This is granted, but the report says
it does nut follow that sovereign- power cannot be
delegated. The formation of a Constitution re
quires the exorcise of sovereign power; but so does
tire commonest act of legislation. If tho one can
be delegated, so eati the other. All the Constitu
tions of the old States were made by conventions
without ratification, except that of Massachusetts.
The Constitution of the United States was ratified
by State conventions, aud never by tbe popular
vote. The amendments to it are to be concurred
iu by State legislatures, and not by tbe popular
vote, to give them validity. IfGovernor Walker’s
doctrine is correct, we should be without State
Constitutions or laws in half of the States of tire
Union. The objection that enabling act is neces
sary is also answered, and shown to be untenable,
both i.. principle and authority,
The question relative to the registry and ap
portionment is very fully treated. The charge
that nineteen counties were disfranchised is com
pletely answered. There are but thirty-four coun
ties in Kansas, twenty-one of these were repre
sented. Nine of the thirteen unrepresented coun
ties have very little population; in seven of them
lint a vote was cast at tho January election against
the Constitution. In two others of the nine less
than one hundred votes were thrown; and in the
four remaining, namely: Franklin, Anderson;
Coffee, and Breckinridge, there were but eleven
and thirty-five. In thse four counties the officers
were prevented from making a registry.
The report also shows, from the registry and ap
portionment, together with the official returns,
that at the 4th of January election the five coun
ties of Leavenworth, Ateluison Douglas, Doni
phan, aud Jefferson. cait five thousand one hun-
From tbe Sav. Georgian.
The Incomes on Banking,
Mr. Editor: A correspondent of the Sa
vannah Republican ofthe 2d inst.,who signs
himself “P—,” gives a statement ofthe per
cent, on the capital stock of the bank of the
State of Georgia, which has been paid to
stockholders from the time the bank was
chartered down to last October—a period
of 41 years—and shows that the average
per cent, paid by the bank to its stock
holders, has been but a fraction over 7
per cent. The object, I presume, is to
show that banking is not so profitable a
business as supposed by some persons.—
“P—” is supposed to be an officer of the
the bank, or some one who has access to
its books. That the people, may know the
per cent, upon the capital stock which lias
been made by the bank as well as the per
cent, paid stockholders, I would respect
fully ask “P—” to furnish the following
additional items of information, viz:
1st, The total amount of all the salaries
paid to all the officers of the bank since it
was chartered,’ including clerk hire, at
torney’s fees, and all sums paid to em
ployees of every character.
2d, The sums paid by the bank to all
its agents for the last 41 years.
od, The value ofthe rent of the real es
tate of the bank for tho iu.st 41 years.
4th, The sums lost by tbe bank by de
faulting agents aud others for tbe last 41
years.
5th, The present number of officers and
agents of tho bank, with the salary of
each.
5th, The reason why the reserved fund
ot §230,422 G3, which tiro bank had when
it made the last return, has not been dis
tributed among its stockholders.
7th, The amount of per cent, paid by
the bank as dividends to its stoekholdesr
for the last five years.
As “P—” has access to the books of the
bank, and as he has volunteered to give
one side of the case, I think it but just
that the people should have both sides.
It will be seen by reference to tbe last
return made by the bank,'liatit then owned
$91:367 12 worth of real estate, including
banking houses and lots; and that it then
had a reserved fund of $230,422 62 not dis
tributed among its stockholders. All this
and all the high salaries of the officers and
agents, or otherwise, have been made b;/
the bank in addition to the 7 per cent: paid
its stockholders. If the whole were ac
counted for, tbe percent, made on the cap
ital invested lias probably been from 25 to
30 percent, during many years of its ex
istence. At all events, we can best judge
if‘‘P—’’willgive this information asked
for. Then, of all this immense income, th
bank distributes but 7 percent, among tin
widows and orphans and others who are its
stockholders. The balance is applied in
maintaining a high salaried set of officers
and agents, living on the fat of the land,
while the stockholders get but seven per
cent., and if the incomes are so great as to
pay all salaries and other expenses and
then exceed that per cent, instead of pay
ing it to the widow and orphan and other
stockholders to whom it belongs, it is laid
aside as a reserved fund. And, then, if
any mention is made of the profits of hank
ing some correspondent, like “P—”
comes forward to show that the stock
holders do not secure more than 7 per cent
That the people may see the true work
ings of one of our banks, it is to be hoped
“P—” wili in another communication an
swer each and every one of the above en
quiries. They are not asked in a captious
spirit, but only that the people may know
the whole truth.
If I mistake not, an agent of one ofthe
Savannah banks was a defaulter at Colum
bus no great while since for about $400,000,
and the friends of the bank said it did not
trench upon the capital stock—that it had
a reserved fund that would more than cov
er it. This bank is not half as old as the
State Bank, and yet it claimed this large
reserved fund. But this is not all. I see
from your last Weekly that the last divi
dend of this bank was 14 per cent. Now
how could this bank have paid a dividend
of 14 per cent, aud pay high salaries to
officers, agents, employees, (See., and bal
ance all losses, and then have this reserv
ed fund of 50 per cent, upon its capital
stock, if it made not 25 or 30 per cent,
per annum upon its capital stock?
But, still, according to “P—*” the State
Bank lias paid its stockholders but 7 per
cent., and he would have us believe the
other banks do no better. Then it would
seem that the stockholders of the banks
generally get but s small part of the in
come oftlto banks, and that the system
builds up an aristocracy of wealth in the
persons of the salaried officers, &c., The
system, as shown by “P—” does not much
benefit the widow or the orphan, or the
died and eighteen vut* s, which isa majority ofthe common people, who are stockholders, but

the Constitution—ari l yet ad these counties wore ! c , r
registered and represented in the Convention, bav-
ittg thirty-six of (he sixty delegates of which the
Convention was composed. If it be true that the
opponents of the Constitution were so largely in
the majority in those counties, and so violent in
their opposition, why did they not elect men to
form a Constitution more to the liking? They had
within four votes of tivo-thirds ofthe Convention,
why. then, did they fail to act at the proper time?
Their refusal, therefore, did not invalidate the
j list, fair and legal action of the Convention.
Tire resolution under which the committee was
appointed directed them to enquire whether the
Lecompton Constitution is acceptable and satisfac
tory to the people? Tho reply to this is, that the
only correct test is the ballot box. aud such an
expression of the popular will as is there given at
tin* proper time and place, according to law. By
tills test the Constitution was adopted by an over
whelming majority of those who joined in the elec
tion. These only can be considered as the bona
fide citizens of Kansas. Others who abstained, are
mala fide residents, who went to Kansas for mischief
and strife. They are self acknowledged outlaws,
and are not to bo considered os constituent ele
merits of a community or society, against which
they are in open rebellion. 'Bin, on the 4th of
January, at rite election for State officers under
the Constitution, more than twelve thousand vo
ters in Kansas did go to the polls, and thus showed
conclusively that at least four-fifths of the voters
of that Territory were willing to vote for the elec
tion of State officers under the Constitution. This
shows that the Constitution was not only accepta
ble. but that it hits been accepted by at least four-
fifths of the voters of that Territory, though not
entirely satisfactory to all of them.
The committeejdeclinedjto go into an investigation
or the alleged frauds at the Jauuary election for
8t;tto officers for want of jurisdiction ofthe House
over the subject. They say they can no more
investigate frauds relating to the election of State
officers iu Kansas than iu any other State Those
matters are to be inquired into the by other appro
priate legitimate tribunals. If the seat of the mem
ber of Congress elected to this House be contes
ted on the ground of alleged frauds, the House
would have jurisdiction over that question ; but’
not as to frauds in the election of Govenoror mem
bers of the legislature of Kansas.
The report concludes with a recommendation
for the admission of the State of Kansas, in pursu
ance of the views of the President, believing that
the welfare and prosperity of tho people of Kansas,
as well as the general welfare, peace and harmo
ny of the whole Union, will thereby be promoted.
