Assassination in the South-wcst.—On the 10th
uh. (says the Louisville Journal) an encounter
took place at Little Rock. Ark., betvveen David
F. Douglass. a young man 18 or 19. and Dr.
Vlfm. C. Howell. A shot was exchanged be-
tween them at the distance ofeighl or ten feet,
with double barrel guns. The load of Douglass
entered the left ltip of Dr. Howell. and a buck
shot from the gun of the latter struck a negro
girl, 13 or 14 years of agejusl below the pit of
the stomach. Douglass then fired s. second time
rid liit Howell in the left groin, penetrating the
abdomen and bladder. and causing his death in
four hours. The negro girl. at the last dates.
was not dead. but no hopes were entertained of
her recovery. Douglass "was coiiiiniilcd to await
his trial at the April term of the Circuit Court.
On the 20th, at Mills Point. on the Mississip-

SEWATOR TALIMADGPS LETTER
on THE SUB-TREASURY.
That this Bill as amended, is quite as ob-
noxious. and as certain to produce the most dis-
astrous consequences as if it had passed in its
original shape. is made manifest by the follow-
ing letter from Senator Tallmadge.
WASHINGTON. March 28th 1638.
Hon. Richard RiIccr——Dear Sir—You ask
my opiniouofllie Sub-Treasury bill as it passed
the Senate.-—I will give it as briefly as possible.
Before :be Bill was engrossed. the 23d section.
orignally introduced by Mr. Calhoun, and coin-
monlv called the specie clause. was stricken out-.
Mr. Tipton then moved to insert a section in its
place. requiring the notes of specie paying banks
to be received in payment ofihe public revenues,
under such restrictions and regulations as Con-
gress should provide. which was rejected. A
section was then adopted on inolion ofMr. Web-
ster. taking from the Secretary of the Treasury
the power of discriininaiing as to the kind of
funds to be received in the diliercnt branches of
the public revenue. In this shape the bill pass-
ed the Senate.
Now, as to its practical opcration—by its
provisions. the liovernmeni is thrown back upon
the joint resolution or 1816. under which the
Executive claims the right I0 prescribe the kind
of funds to be received. whether specie or the
notes of specie paying banks. Under his con-
struclion of this joint resolution. the late Presi-
dent issued the specie circular. by which he re.
quired specie in payment of public lands. whilst
the notes of specie paying books. under certain
restric.ions. were received lor customs. Mr.
Webster's amendment takes away this right of
discrimination. The President must. therefore.
either require specie or Ilia nines ofspecie paying
banks. in all the different branches of the public
revenue, and cannot receive one kind of funds
in one branch. and a difli-.rent kind in another.
He must. of course. rescind the Specie Circular
which relates to the public lands. or he must ex-
tend it to the customs.
\Vhich will he do? -Some have supposed he
would authorize the receipt of the notes of specie
paying banks. and disburse them in the public
service.- This, under certain restrictions might
be done, and might perhaps be made to operate
beneficially upon ‘the dilI'ei_'cnt interests to be
afiiactcd by it. Probably this was the expecta-
tion of some of those who voted to strike out Mr.
Calhoun's specie clause, for although Mr. Tip-
ton’s amendment was rejected, still it was avow-
ed in debate that it was opposed on the ground
that ii implied a distrust of the President as to
the proper performance of his dpty.
The question llten, recurs. which oflhe two de-
should iliink he would hardly direct the public
dues to be paid in specie. after the expression of
the Senate against it by slriking out the specie
clause; he must, Ihen.direcI the receipt of doles
of specie paying banks. under such regulations
and restrictions as may be prescribed. As lo
wlrar rhnse will be. we are left to infer from the‘
lacls before us. the President in his Message 11'
ilie extra session said. "If at short and fixed
periods, they (bank notes) were converted into
specie. to be kept by the olficersoflhe Treasury,
some ofihe most serioiisobsiacles in their recep-
tion would. perhaps, be removed. To retain
the notes in the Treasury. would be to renew,
under another form. the loans of public money
to the banks. and the evils consequent thereon.”
I look the ground, at the extra session, lll8l.If'
the bank notes were to be converted into specie
as above suggested by the President, it was im-
material to me whether specie or the notes of
specie paving banks were received-—-the pitta!!-
cal effcct would be same in both cases.
Mr. Wright. in his speech at the extra ses-
sion. said: “For himself. he agreed with the
view of this matter which he understood his
honorable colleague to take. that in case the de-
posiles were confined to the safe keeping pfthe,
officers ofihe government. it was a question ol
much less interest to the banks than seemed to
be generally supposed. Ifilia banks were not
made the dcpositorics, it could not be supposed
their notes, ifmade receivable, would be retain-
ed for any length of time in safe keeping. It
would be a necessary result of this mode of keep-
ing the public funds. that all bank notes received
must be presented at short intervals for payment;
and he could not see that it would be any very
valuable favor to the banks as a permanent sys-
tem. to receive their notes merely for the purpose
of immediate prcsenlmcnl and payment." A!
the present session, Mr. Wright said. “If?-he
notes ofihe banks conliniicto be received in pay-
ment ofihe public dues. and the deposiiorics are
directed. as in that case they unquestionably
would be. to call frequently and at short inter-
vals for the balances against the banks, and to
demand specie for those balances. this must
operate as a powerful check upon all the banks
in the vicinity oflhosc depositories where the
collections are large.”
From the above quotations. and from the
sources from which they come. I trust there can
be no longer any doubt on the public mind. asto
the manner in which the Sub-Treasury bill. ifii
shall become a law in its present shape, will be
carried into eflect-—and I leave it to the judg-
ment ofevery rational man to say. whether the
receipt ofihe notes of specie paying books. under
such regulations. and unler the discretionary
power claimed by the Executive. is not farwarse
than the positive and absolute receipt ofgold and
silver only? In the latter case. the banks-would
only suffer in consequeiice of their specie being
drawn from them. and deposited in these Sub-
Treasury vaults. by which they would be dis-
abled to extend those accommodations to which
the mercantile commuiiiiy is entitled. In the
former it would subject tbcin to the same incon-
venience by ilie presentment of their notes for
specie. and put it in the power ofihe Executive
to pull down or build up any batik be pleased.
from the manner in which he could accuiiiulote
its bills ifil coniiiiucd to do business. and sudden-
ly present them for specie. Thy some remark
is also applicable to Mr. Calhoun's proposition
(whilst bank notes are received) by which one
sixth was to be received in specie the first year.
two sixtlis the second year. and so on till the
whole receiptsofllie public revenue should be in
gold and silver. \Vlio cart fail to see that, under
such a system. every batik llirougliout the coun-
try may be destroyed. and all those evils. which
have been so fully depicted. during the discus
sion ol this question inflicted on the coiniriuniiy.
It is in fact establishing a gold and silver cur-
rcricy for ofiicers and contractors ofGoi-ernmem.
and leaving the people at the mercy of the
Executive or the Secretary of the Treasury.-
Thc banks cannot resume nor continue specie
payments if they continue to do business. under
such a system. Nay, they cannot live but by
Executive clemency.
The great evil consists in the adoption ofihe
Sub-Treasury system in any form. Thai done.
all others follow. There is no way in which the
objections to its adoption can be overcome. It is
not capable of being made by any amendments.
either useful or harmless. I hope the country
will not be deceived by the present form ofihe
bill. It was right to strike out the specie clause.
if we could, because that was giving a blow
which destroyed that little congruily it had, and
left it in a shape in which it was hoped none
would seriously think of passing it.
It contains powers which lead dimnly to an
unmitigated despotism of opinion. You have
not failed to see. in reference to the progress of
this measure. the dangerous extent of Execu-
tive influence. You ‘can scarcely imagine the
evils which may follow the exercise of the addi-
tional powers proposed to be conferred by this
bill on that department of the government.
Away. then. with the whole syslem—'away with
these vaults and safes. these bars and bolts. Let
the Govt rnmeut deposits: its funds in sound in-
stitutions. and let there be received the notes of
such banks as the deposite banks will agree to
credit to the Government as cash. Let the Go-
vernment then make its drafts on Ihosc deposi-
iories. and let the holders draw such cuirency as
lliey desire.
lam utterly astonished at the mannorin which
this measure is attempted to be forced upon
Congress and the people. If the collection of
the revenue in gold and silver be so essential for
the general governznerzl, whyis it not equally so
for every state government? The same argu-
ment would apply in the one case as in the other.
‘What would be said to such a proposition in the
state of New York? I believe it was entertain-
ed at Tammany Hall. But what would the
people oftlie State say? ‘Nliat would the Le-
gislaiura say? It could scarcely command a
voice or a vote with the one or the other. Who
is there that would require our canal tolls. our
auction and salt duties. and our taxes to be col-
lected in specie? Such a law, if it were pass-
ed. could not be enforced. The same remark
is applicable to every state in the Union. And
I say what is good enough for the States is‘ good
enough for the general government. I hope,
then. the community will not be deceived as to
the character of this bill. It does not contain a
single mitigating feature. I trust it will be re-
sisted, or any thing like it. in all the stages ofiis
progress until the Executive be ‘compelled to
abandon his scheming. and return In a system
bascd on sound principleii,aiid sanctioned by ex-
perieucc.
There is no occasion to despond. The spirit
here is good. VVe are in earnest. and our resolut-
tion is fixed and firm. Let but the people
have an opportunity to see this matter in its true
liglil. and an end will bciput ere long to these
pernicious and dangerous projects.

year ago, was 911 votes behind the Loco-Focos
and the Administration party—'i-iinee which time
the Administration has taken up N. York Loco-
Focoism. and the party here has been consoli-
dated. This consolidation, the Whigs have
broken down, under all the disadvantages of a
Charter Election, involving all kinds of local
feeling. In the November Election, upon our
own bottom he-rc,tlic vote we have now given
teaches us we shall do as well as we did last Au-
tumn, and that was well enough. The Whig
party now stand on a solid basis, that Loco-Fo-
coism cannot shake. VVe have stood the test
of a storm. the like of which can never twice be
roused against us. A large majority, by its
soothing power, would have lulled us to a doze.
Our organization now is to do our best.
The Brooklyn Charter Election has terminat-
ed in favor ofihe Whigs. «who will have a ma-
jority of at least three in the Board ofAldermen.
and perhaps two more, as they claim a tiein the
2d Ward. The Board lasl year was composed
of 10 Loco-Focos and 8 Whigs. Should me me
claimed in the 2d \Vard be determined in favor
of the Whigs this year, 13 Whigs and 5 Loco-
Focos, or 11 Whigs and 7 Loco-Focos.
Very respectfully yours.

Among the firs: acts which should be perform-
ed by our lcgislaturc, at its ensuing session.
should be an immediate and unconditional re-
peal of the ‘small hill law,’ as it is dcnomina
red. A thorough trial has been made, in many
of our States, of the meriisand demi.-rits ofsucli
statutes. and in no part of the Union has it an-
swered the cod proposed. The dcclornd and
real object was. to increase the amount of
spccia in circulation—but it has never t-.c'com
plished that end, and _never will. There is
probably less gold and silver in circulation than
previous to the experiments attempted to in-
crease that quantity. Even supposing that it
would increase, if every State should enact.
such laws. yet that does not apply to the pre-
sent condition of our banking stalilislirnniits-—
for many States have not seen proper to follow
the lead of those who have thus lcgislatr.-d, and
the consequence has been that States ad_j.ic.:iit
to our own have flooded us with small bills, and
enjoyed the benefit of their circulation without
eniiting an increase of specie as a circulating
medium. Therefore the law should be expung-
ed from our Statute books. The public mind is
lully prepared for it, and demands it—and we
feel confident that our Legislature will unhesi-
tatingly comply with this universal demand of
the people.—Norwich. Courier
Better Times.—The Loco-Focos are endea-
voring to make certain persons believe that the
whigs promised better times in case they suc-
ceeded at the recent State election. The idea is
ridiculous. The whigs will never promise bet-
ter times uutil they have the power to produce
them, and this will not be until they have
driven the Goths from the capital of the na-
tion. The result of the election in Connecti-
cut is most fortunate, inasmuch as its moral in-
fiueiice will be great upon other States, and up.
on our rulers at Washington. It has inspired
confidence at home, that the people will eventu-
ally work themselves out of their troubles ; and
those who own property feel that is safer now
than it was two months ago. It has, accor-
ding to report, produced an effect upon our im-
mediate representatives in Congress, by which
it is possible the Sub-Treasury Bill~will be de-
feated. It has taught the patriot never to des-
pair of the republic, and neverto abandon the
State, however dark the prospect may seem.
The confidence which business men feel since
the election in the integrity and good sense of the
people. together with what littletbe legislature
can do towards strengthing this confidence, and

the national government will permit a‘ better

than it resumed a pace at which the boy did not
dare to attempt an escape; and the car, with
