The Evening Post from New York, New York • Page 2

THE EVENING POST. TUESDAY EVENING. MAY 89. One or two journals here continue to keep up the cry that it is the conduct of the general government alone which prevents the tanks lrorn universally resuming specie payments. The Express of this morning has the following oracular sentences: THB PfclMABY CAUSE OP EMBARRASSMENT IN IANK ik operations, we tell the Albany Argus, is the hootility of the Government.

The Southern, South Western and Western Banks cannot retime specie payments, as lone ns the Government is Loco Foco upon them. The Pennsylvania United States P.nnk, we presume, waits for a general resump tion, and a general resumption alone can profit the country." We suggest, in all friendliness, to the Express, that it will do well to study variety a little more in its attacks upon the govern menu He is a poor fencer who cm give but one thrust; the cuckoo, which has but a single note, is not praised for its melody. We rememher a black fiddler who knew hut one tune, called "pea straw," and when asked to cive a touch of bis art, used invariably to answer, Please to have pea straw, massa? very well, sir," and immediately scraped away on his single tune. The Express seems to be in a similar predicament it has no other tone but pea ttraw. It harps upon the old themethnt the government prevents paying their notes, atter oth rpartisans on the same side have become tired and ashamed of it.

Let it take exam pie from its fellow laborer, the Star, which varies its topics of abuse from day to day, reminding you of Justice Shallow's man at Mile End Green There was a little quiver fellow, and he would manage his piece thus, and he would about and about, and come you in rah tah tah would he say bounce would he say; and away again would he go, and a gain would he come." Nothing certainly has a sillier sound to New York ears than the charge that the go vernment have an agency in obstructing the return to specie payments. The banks in this state have found the resumption of spe cie payments the easiest operation in the world, simply because of the prudence with which their affairs have been conducted. Other banks in other states have begun piy ing their notes, and hare found the same facility for the same reason. If there are any banks which find it difficult, it is simply because they have been badly managed, and not because they are oppressed by the go vernment. The tippler at the pot house, tells the bar keeper that he cannot pay the old score on account of the policy pur sued by the administration, has just as much reason for making such an excuse as the friends ot the banks.

That "a general resumption alone will benefit the country," is a part of the same tune. It is only one of the variations of peastraw." The New York banks have returned to specie payments, and the good effect has been almost magical. An imme diate revival of business has followed it. True, a general resumption of specie pay merits is most desirable, but the next best thing is a partial resumption. It is well that all men should pay their debts; certain people will not; but it is desirable that as many should pay as can be made to do so Mr.

Middle's bank, it is said by the Ex press, is waiting for the general resumption of specie payments." When the banks stopped payment that bank boasted that it would take the lead in returning to the pay ment of its notes. Now, we are told it is to be the List to fulfil its promises. It will wait till all the other banks resume payment. It will bring up the rear. It will put off obedience to the dictates of honesty as long as possi ble, and only conform to them when compel universal example and the discom landing alone in infamy.

While the Express is prating about the impossibility of the resumption ol specie payments by the western banks, on account "of the heavy hand laid upon them by the government, these banks themselves are go ing on to make the arrangements for paying their notes, exactly as if there was no go vernment in the way. The Cincinnati Gazette, a whig print, says We understand, that at a convention of the Indiana banks, it was resolved to correspond with thoe or Ohio and Kentucky, in reference to an early resumption. It is thought the western banks may resume at an early day without waiting for tliotc of the Atlantic or the South." United States Magazine and Democratic Review. The June number ot this periodical is expixtcd to be received in this city shortly, and we are informed that it will be one of the most valuable and interesting yet issued. Among the articles thcM is, as we learn, a forcible one on the subject of rcsumins specie payments a copious and carelully compiled history ot the Canada insurrection, and a biographic sketch of Mr.

Forsyth, the Secretary of Stale, accompanied with a portrait. It afford us to have it in our power to atalv that the circulation of this magazine, notwithstanding tha embarrassed state ot the country and the ferocious opposition it has met with from prints and individuals tiotriendly to the promulgation of democratic piititipics, continues steadily to increase. The subscription list is already greater than that most of our American monthly publications. Yet, owing to ibe very expensive manner in which the work is got up, and the liberality of the proprietors in paying for communications, many subrxribcrs are yet required to pay the current expenses. We therefore hope that such of our democratic triends as have not already subscribed, and whois means will enable them to take the work, will hasten to put down their names as subscribers.

Philadslpiiia. A committee of the Common Council ol Philadelphia, has been instructed to investigate Ihe circumstances attending the destruction of Pennsylvania Hall, whether occasioned by tha ineHicieju or TeH.issness of the police. re learn that Samuel it eager, the person ar rested on tho chargo of having been concerned in the recent destruction of Pennsylvania Hall, was re heard before Alderman Binns, and held to bail fnr trial, in the sum of three thousand dollars. He is said to bo a man of considerable property, and the father of five children. The Philadelphia "Public Ledger," which was threatened with demolition by the rioters in the late mob, asserts that its daily circulation has augmented nearly two thousand since the disturbances, notwith standing Us uncompromising opposition to mobs.

Departure of Missionaries. From the Journal of Commerce, we learn that the Rev. Messrs. Pohlman, Ball, Wood and the direction ol the American Board, Bailed in the ship Albion, for Singapore, on Friday last. The destination of Messrs.

Pohlman and Thompson, is Borneo. A steamboat accompanied tbe ship down the harbor, on board of which appropriate religious exercises were performed. Sandi Hook Light. We learn that tho complaints hitherto respecting this light house have been remedied, and that it has been refitted with new lamps i.id reflectors, and with three rows of lamps instead ol two, which makes it, in the opinion of wany, one the best fixed lights in Ibis or any other country. uai mJT Tcir.tfiTioN.

ta utatMi in the Richmond pa tiers that Colonel Mai. 0j the Senate, baa le i Pocm tEWTii Wad EtrcTton. A majority of i he committee of investigation performed thuir duty ll oir parly by rf orting last evening, that the allegations of the memorialists had not been eustain d. The minority made a counter report, recommending that the memorialists be heard by counsel before the whole board. This was negatived, as well as a motion to make the subject the special der for the next meeting.

The vote in each instance was a lie. The majority report Mates that Dr. Hasbrouck, the opposing candidate at the late clectien, declared at the close of the investigation that he and the me morialists acquitted the inspectors of every thing improper or unfair. Whereas, he openly stated that he only acquitted thetn of intentional fraud or cor ruption he said nothing about their unfairness or partiality, which in the opinion of most people is a bundantly proved by the testimony already elicited in the investigation. The majority report, is com plete perversion of tho testimony.

Mr. Graham, the Chairman, who makes the ma. jority report, notwithstanding the credit which attaches to his character for actiteness, is unable to perceive the bearing of many of the facts which have come out with regard to the canva, which tend to show tidier that Dr. Hasbrouck is elected, or else it is impossible to tell who is elected, as we bear. The proper data for this opinion will be made public in due season, as a Committee in the other Board will now proceed with the investigation also.

Committee will meet to morrow afternoon at 4 o'clock, in the Board of Aldermen's room. A correspondent ol the New Era thus notices the inaccuracy in relation to the Mayor's canvas in the same Ward: The whole number of names on the Poll list. was 2479 The whole number of votes cast for Mayor 2476 On countincr the ballots unopened, there were found 24bo 10 less than the whole number of votes cast for Mayor. 13 less than the whole number of names on the Poll 1st. There were no blanks found nor any Charter Tick ets in the Mayors box.

Yet the Inspectors ot CIALLY report: For Isaac L. Varian 1253 For Aaron Clark 1212 For Richard Riker 16 Scattering 2 Total. 2433 Pour more than the whole number of names on the Poll list. Stern more than the whole number cast for office of Mayor. Steenieen more than were actually found in the box.

What must we think of men who would thus open ly make a report at variance with truth and fact 7 L.et every man judge tor nimseit. Stringth of the two Presbyterian Assemblies. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Penn sjlvanian, notices seme inaccuracies in the papers relative to the number of commissioners who seceded from the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church at its recent organization in the city of Philadelphia, lit) furnishes the following statistical statement, made up from the printed rolls ot the two bodies now in session "Whole number of names on the roll of the (Old School) General Assembly. Acting with the Assembly up to this time, Acting with neither body 221 156 5 Leaving as the aggregate of seceders 60 Whole numbers of names on the roll of the seccdine body, meeting in the First Presbyterian Church 237 Of this number from the exscinded Synods and Third Presbytery of Philadelphia 58 Leaving from Presbyteries in connection with the General Assembly 22S) From this number deduct (as above) the number acting with the (O. General Assembly, and those acting with neither party 161 There remains from Presbyteries connected with the General Assembly, to form the seceding body 63 The relativo strength in the two bodies therefore, (omitting the exscinded synods,) is according to one roll, 156 to 60, and according to the other roll, 156 to 63.

To the last numlter we add the exscinded bodies, 69 and 59 126 Number in the (O. General Assembly, (as before) 15G Leaving a clear orthodox majority of 30 It is ascertained that several persons, whose names appear on the roll of the seceding body, meeting in the First Church, are not acting with lhat body, same of them not being in the city. But no allowance is made for these cases in the above statement, and they are all reckoned with the N. S. party.

Another correspondent in the same journal, arrives at a different result, as follows The number of Presbyteries in the United States is 166 The entire delegation to the General Assembly from these is 332 Of this number there arc New School, decidedly 166 Old School, probably 160 Doubtful 6 From this it appears that should the doubtful votes be thrown into the new school scale, it would give them a majority of twelve, and that in thn opposite case, both parties would be equally divided. There have been in actual attendance in the General Assembly, (Washington Square,) 131 memlers and in the body meeting in Ranstead Court 156." This last writer says that the new school "have a very decided majority of the ministers, and a still greater majority of the communicants ot the Prosby terian Church in these Unitad and are therefore in no sense seceders, but. arc justly entitled to be considered true and constitutional Presbyterians."

Accounts received at Pensaco la from Tampa state that it is the opnion of many intelligent gentlemen who have taken part in the late difficulties with the Seniinoles, that there cannot now be more than 50 or 100 warriors who still stand out.

Quite a commotion was produced on Sunday morning among the traffickers ni new clothes, old clothes, and matters and things in general," located in Chatham street, who havo tor years past been in the habit of throw ing open their shops tor trade, and exposing their wares at their doors and windows. The Common Council liar in 2 recently passed a resolution tor the enforcement of the long nczlected ordinances for the prevention of Sunday trafficking, the police, under the direction of the Mayor, have commenced en forcing a strict and general observance of tbat ordi nance, heretofore only enlorced against the poor women and boys who eked out a few pence profit by selling apple and pea nuts.

Almost with the ruing oi ibe sun, yesterday, the unainain street, re a iters who have heretofore been in that practice opened their shops and stalls, and hung out iheir articles of trade, as usual, but before 10 o'clock they received a. visit from officer Mcrritt, whs warned a traPB" and close their shops, r.ln, 'elor neglect to comply instanter.orof their reopening on any future Sab i ,0 Wl Mos, if II of them lr0n 10 Cmpl requirement and henceforth watch will bekepilpon theru" which will render it both unsafe and disagreeable for them to continue desecrating the SabbatD in the manner which has been too long to'erated. N. Sun. Now lUtGMTi0M.Tie liiitllarrtisbtirg Repor 1 ter, in noticing a statement of Bicknell'a Philadelphia Reporter, to the effect that Mr.

Biddle's Bank will not resume until there is some assurance that government will act in conceit with the banks, exclaims "Why not come out at once and tell the whole truth and ssy that the Bank of the United States has determined that no general resumption chill lake place, "so far as the Philadelphia banks ore concerned," until after the October election 1 It is folly to attempt longer lo conceal the fact that the resistance to a resumption, "on the part of the Philadelphia banks," arises from considerations purely political that the business ol the country, the interests of the farmer, the mechanic, the day laborer, are to be sacrificed, tor months to come, to the political views of the President of the Bank of Ihe United States. Such is the plain state of the case, and it cmnot be denied. The Bank ol the United States now boasts that it has $7,000,000 in specie, and that it is ''fully competent lo resume. The other banks ot the city are equally well prepared. Then why do they disregard the first principles of morality, and refuse to pay their just debts to a community which has suffered too long from their imprudence and mismanagement The answer is to be found in Mr.

Biddle's letter to Mr. Adams 'the American Banks' mut not 'come from behind their entrenchment until the enemy has lett the plain. "But we warn the Philadelphia banks to beware, and not tollow too closely the orders of the great regulator." It is an insult, ofTured by the banks to the people and one which they will not tam brook when these institutions openly avow that they are fully competent to resume," and express at the same lime a di munition not to do so. The flummery about the hostile disposition ot the Government is stale, and will not answer its purpose. ll has been proven lo be false by the published assurances of the Treasury department, and by the conduct of the Government towards the resuming hanks of New York.

It is now palpable that the banks of Philadelphia an in a condition to icsume the discharge ol their solemn engagements. They publicly declare such to he the fact. Let them therefore instantly d.a card the political views of their leader, und return to specie p'ymout. Just'ico Rod mnralily call for it. Thepeoplc of Pennsylvania demand it The Harnsbur; Reporter speaks well on this subject.

The State of Pennsylvania is waking up, and il is fitting that it should do so. Mr. Biddle's bank is the offspring of party corruption in that 11 that bank was in Wall street instead of Chcs nut street, Mr. Biddle would be compelled to yield to the force of public sentiment, and resume. He could not resist it a single day longer, liven now tho crowds ol fl uierers who once hung on his skins wherever he went, arc silent.

How long wdl it be before this silence will bi changed to open expres sions of hostility? As to the effect of hiacouise on llni elections in Pennsylvania next fall, i docs not require much sagacity to predict that it will crush, even the semblance ol hope for the party it is design; ed to aid. Monet Market. There appears to be little activity in the Stock Market this week, and prices consequently tend downward though money con tinues abundant tor every business purpose.

Davis, Bank Commissioner Sir As you have, in your onicial capacity ns Bank Comtniswioner, recently examined the "Brook lyn Bank," of which, from its first organization until the first day of ls37, 1 was President, and efforts havino been made to injure me in public estimation ns such officer, as an act of justice to me, will yon, sir, do me thr favor to state whether from this last cxamina'ion, which I understand has been ml narticnlar. or anv other examination, you have discovered anv thin" i'l my official character ns President of that Institution or otherwise, that did not evince scrupulous recard to integrity, and the best interest of the institution. A sensibility to iny own character must plead my apology for asking this favor of you.

I know your own sense of justice will duly appreciate the propriety of this request. With ertat respect, I am. vonr most ooenieni servant. SAMUEL A. WILLOUGHBV.

Pefkskill, May 21, 1936. SamcelA. WiLLorc.HBV, Eq. Si a Your letter of date the I8rh was received too late to be answered before I left for this place. As the information sought, is of a general character, and such only as concerns your reputation, as the former President of the Brooklyn Bank, I do not perceive any objections to my answering the questions submitted, if the questions were one involving more pecuniary interest, I should not feel myself authorized to answer.

I have never discovered, from any examinations given said Bank, or from my last just closed, ny thins in your official conduct, that did not 'comport with integrity, and a punctilious regard to the interests of the institution, and, believing as I do, that erroneous and uniust impressions have possessed the public mind as to your official conduct, as President of tbat Bank, I could not reconcile it to my own sense of proprieiv, to withhold thus far to answer your enquiry, am, most respectfully, your obedi ent servant, GEORGE R. DAVIS.

We copy thcfollowing from the Daily Whig of Friday the llth May, which will be read with interest by all the friends of the poor. "A clergyman, the Rev.

Mr. Storrs, so generally known as the defender of the poor negro, informed us, that he saw a multitude at Dr. Williams' house, corner of Canal street and Broadway, who have been restored to sight of one or both eyes, and that his own child was blind of one eye and suffered much of both, isgreatiy relieved to day." Ed. of the Whig. my 14 lm The blowing is copied from the New York Weekly Censor'' ofthe Glh May, I.S08 DR.

WILLIAMS, THE OCULIST. C3 There has disjiosiition exhibited by a portion ofthe newspaper press toilrive this genUeuian out of th ruuniry, on the cround that he is a no better than quack. We do not believe thisand for what we think very S'0 1 reason. Aquackisa false pretender to knowledge and skill, which really does not possess. A quark may come fi'oma college; for ineii lio knowleilgi; from colleges, nor can schools supply the natural want of brains.

We niuy li'arn much, loo. Irom oihes sources. There be tunny iimo. 1 officers who ive never Been the Military Aca tloiiiy, ami many good lawyers, divines and statesmen, who were never within the walls of a university. Was lr.

Franklin aipiack because he was self taught. The practice ofthe Tliotusniiiau professors is proved by lona experience to be efficacious and beneficed in some rasesto say that it is so in all, and to use it without knowing in what caes its operation is salutary, is sheer quackery. Any Indian can dress a gunshot wound, or splinter a broken limhas well as a surgeon often much better. Beyond this the Indian is a quack, though an innocent one; for he believes in the virtue of his prescriptions, anil would lake iheiu himself without hesiruion. profess that we know how to remove warts and save frozen limbs as surety as Ihe most learned Doctor in the world.

This assertion ought not to siiiijei us to the reproach of presumption for il is Hue. tShnuld we pretend lo further knowh de of ihe heal iii2 arl. we lnisrht justly be called quacks. Now Mi Williams does ncl set liimsell befnre the public as a physician or surgeon hes' ls no bones, he exhibits no drugs or draughts. He I cure rer'aih disuses ol the eye, by means know only to myself." If he does so, even but in a limited number of cates, he is not more a charlatan than half ol his revileis nor so much so as niany of I hem It is our happiness to have formerly been on the most in timate terms wiih Dr.

John Sfi'heii llartb tt. Ihen of Huston and now of Marble head. He is a regularly bred physician and a man of fineiaients, had a large prariice, and was an honored member of the two great mt diculsocitlies. He was not a man likely lo be deceived. At first ne snared Hie prejudice of the regular faculty Hgaim the OcuUst Williams, but, having satisfied himself, by patient and diligent investigation, that he had actually cured several cases of blindness before considered incurable, he did not hesitate to set hn own interest on the hazard oi the die.

He con culled that Oculist, and scut the Mind to him lor eoniiort which lie is certain they received. For breach of the laws of the two Medical Colleges, which, ovthe not lawsof the land, he was e.pehed from llieni, a misfortune which he bore with the eiost exemplary patience. It seems as if the regular phyokiuns had resolved thai none should be privileged to s.iu their tt uowmen, or put out their eyes, but theuist Ives. Thus 1 we seen solemn fowl u.Hjd.iig sleepily upon a Iree, A bird in vulvar parlance called an owl, lVrrhaiire revolving in his iohbernowl. II.iw vastly great hit wit and pans inuiitbe And mil nig thus "were 5 power almighty mine, if on tl ii i cann be Lorn; No birds hut owls shouh No coiiins doves in wedlock should combine, No peacock's gaudy pluuvige more should shine Owls, owls alone should lowers and trees adorn." We were never in Dr.

Williams's establishment, here or elsewhere, but once, and Ihen staid but one hour. We saw present upwards of a hundred persons, with vision more or less obscured, and conversed with many of them. They s'l testified the utmost gratitude toward the Hocior, win. we tiiiuK tney would scarcely nave none, nan tney not received gi eat benefit at his hands It it unnecessary lo eiitvr into details we shall oiilv mention the case of one little Im.iv, who. his mother had been irtally blind fur three years, without rereh ing the least relief from the regular faculty.

His eyes now appeared a little bleared, but he could see very small objects, and appeared sprightly and contented. eeimr is believinc and we came awav perfectly persuad ed that Or. Williams is no quack, but a person whose optical skill deserves confidence. It is not possible that he can have collected ro many blind ones and them to testify to his ability. The thing is inconceivable, yet on no other ground can the conduct of th patients be accounted fur, if he he a quack.

Ii is not a matter ot public excitement, or a religious delusion that can nuke one see who is really blind. my33lawlui THE OLIO, OR RARITIES OF KNOWLEDGE Published at 162 Nassau street, opposite the Park, in weekly numbers of four pages, at one cent per number; parts containing five numbers and a cover, once in five weeks, at 6J cents and a sheet containing four numbers, once in four weeks, for circulation by mad at 50 cents per annum, in advance, 1000 Agents may be profitably employed in circulating tine work throughout the United States. m24 lwis BACHELOR WISNER.

F. FOSTER and THOMAS JONES. 1j A Select Class of 25 Young Gentlemen are received at this Institution and thoroughly instructed in those branches connected with the business of the Cotmtinsr house. The course of studies embraces PENMANSHIP, PRACTICAL ARITHMETIC. BOOKKEEPING, ENGLISH GRAMMAR, GEOGRAPHY, MERCANTILE LETTER WRITING, The pupils arecxercised in making out Invoices Account Sales, Accounts Current, in Drawing and Accepting Bills, in the Calculations of Exchanges and Interest, and are passed through the whole routine of Coiintin; house practice.

BOOK KEEPING is taught upon an original and improved plan the result of several years assiduous application, devoted by its author almost exclusively to the advancement of this branch of education. The limits of an advertisement preclude any discussion of the merits of this method. Its main features, however, are sufficiently marked, the aim being to advance the powers of the understanding to a level with the subject, while all other modes of teaching ihis science are attempts to simplify the subject by means ot some rule, to the level of all capacities! This distinction will be well understood by those familiar with true science; an attempt to simplify Geometry would be equally absurd with the attempt to simplify Book keeping so as to dispense with the necessity of reasoning clearlu through a demonstra tion of its theory. There would be no difficulty teaching a young man to ournalize, Post and Balance ZOO transactions, by the help of a RULE, in the space of a few weeks but to conclude that by such a process of instruction he is qualified to undertake the arrangement of a merchant's books, is bv far too absurd for the grave consideration of a practical accountant. The notorious inefficiency of school instruction in the science of BOOKKEEPING, so iusilv comnlain ed of, is to be attributed to the use of rules in teach ingit, their effect being to dispense with that process of THINKING which real business imperatively.

though insensibly, leads the learner into. Rule, it le true, are used by practical men, but never with safety till they have learned to deduce them from principles. As it is a maxim in this institution that no pupil can be taught faster than he can learn, no promises are made to teach BOOK KEEPING in any stated time if a pupil be capable of learning in a fortnight, he may rest assured of being taughtiu thai time; but if his mind be not sufficiently matured, he must undergo patiently the labour of study, and the teacher who pretends to relieve him of this labor by any new fangled notion must inevitably deceive him. The pretensions every day put forth of imparting that mechanical skill and dexterity which is indispensable to FREE WRITING, in a fete easy let sons, could only be eqalled by professing to enable a pupil to rival Paganini in the same time on the Violin Such professions are too absurd to deceive any but ihe ignorant and unthinking multitude. MERCHANTS and PARENTS who may feel interested in pronioiing a well organized plan of COMMERCIAL INSTRUCTION are respectfully invited to all nt the rooms.
