2 BALTIMORE. THURSDAY, MAY 13, I^sB. In reviewing the Congressional reports of last week, we pcreeive that the Honorable Senator from Georgia, Mr. IVKKSOX, lias given to his fellow-citi zens vet another illustration of what he regards as Senatorial morality. When we bust had the pleas tire of reproducing his ideas for the benefit of our renders, the Honorable Senator had planted him self upon a question of good character and bad iom|iaiiy. On the present occasion, be has dedi cited himself to a point of conscience. With the consent of the Senate, Mr. HAT.E, of New Hampshire, had called up the joint resolution granting three years full pay to the widow of the late Commander HKIINDON. Mr. IVERSON took the tloor. and discoursed, as the Xational Intelligencer informs us, after the following manner, lie said, " ihat it was his intention to have discussed the "merits of this case at length, but since that time "such appeals had been made to him from various "quarters that he would forbear to do so. He " would content himself by observing thai Con gress had no more right to make a gratuity of " this kind than it would have to throw the money "at the bottom of the river which flowed near "them. Senators having different views with "himself might vote for it; but, with his ttnder " standing of the Constitution, he could not do so " without lairing on his conscience the slain of haring " done on improjier act, with the stigma of perytirg. "He had thus briefly given a few reasons why, in "his opinion, it ought not to pass; and would "simply ask the yeas and nays, that he might "record his vote against tlie proposition." Now, if Mr. I VEUSON* really thought that the pro position in controversy was so outrageous that he could not vote for it, without violating his official oath, we should like to know what business he had to listen to any "appeals," which could make him "forbear" the duty of discussing it. Does he think, with that sensitive conscience of his, that Senators are sent to Washington to be talked out of doing what they honestly and firmly believe it is their bounden obligation to do? Or lias bis internal monitor phases like the moon? When we last noticed his ethics, he was found refusing to vote his solemn convictions, because the Black Republicans entertained the same, and he was not willing to do right in such evil association. He chose to make a speech, anil to abstain from vot ing. Now, however, conscience has gone off on the other tack. lie is willing to forego the speech, but he must vote, if be dies for it. Nay more—be must have lhe yeas and nays on the question, so that it may he known, down in Georgia, that there is yet one just man left in Sodom. Ilul il is not with Mr. IvEitsox's behaviour, tin der his eonscience, that we are quarreling. It is with his conscience itself. \Ve might raise the pre liminary question, indeed, whether lie is entitled to have any. We have been led to believe that con science, politically considered, is the "peculiar in stitution" of our Eastern brethren, and that among thi" more orthodox of the Southern expounders, it is regarded as a "Yankee-ism." We are quite sure that when Mr. SEWARD, or Mr. WILSON', or Mr. HALE, or any other scrupulous gentleman of the same mode of thinking, presumes to set up a con science, it is called "higher law," at once, and the TTiion is to be dissolved immediately. We may, therefore, lie permitted to suggest that Mr. TVER SON'S pretensions are in conflict with both the faith and the rubric. But, even if they are not—even if he must have a conscience and has a constitutional right to it—in the name of all that is respectable, lei him straightway get a better one. A Senator of the United States lias no right to speak or vote upon the fiiilli of such a commodity as lie lias ex hibited. Let us look at its manifestations ami judge it accordingly. An officer of our navy has laid down his life— not technically 111 the service of the government, it is true, lmt in the discharge of a high professional obligation, which the government, for obvious purposes of public policy, encourages its best officers to assume. He died, with none of the melo-drame and ilrajiery of every day heroism about him—not in the hot blood of conflict, nor in Hie arms of vic tory, nor in the hope of fame. He was a mar it r to the sternest sense ot duty, and hiring man fully his awful, inevitable doom, he walked 1111- terrifieil into the abyss—a calm, brave, noble gentleman ! In Home, his statue would have lived among tlie marble records ol the national reverence ami renown. Hying, to save the women and chil dren in his care, he left his own wife and daughter unprotected and poor. The Senate of the nation— not merely that the tears of the widow ami the orphan may he dried, lmt rendering meet homage to a deed of glorious self-sacrifice, so that it mav stand an example and memorial forever, proposes to acknowledge the worth of the dead, by minister ing to the necessities of those whom, living, he loved liest. The national heart responds, without a throb of dissent, to a suggestion so eminently tit and just, when up starts Mr. IVEBSOX— with his conscience! "With his understanding of the Constitution," he cannot vote for the "gratuity," without "staining" himself with "the stigma of perjury!" Can any bodv understand what the Honorable Senator meant to mean ? Does he really profess to think that the government of a mighty people, like this, has no power, without "perjury," to reward the sen-ices of its sons, when living, or to pay what tribute it deems just to their memories, when dead ? Are the United States constitutionally powerless, to do what is inherent in the existence of all decent gov ernment, and what every other nation is proud to do, from the centre to the circumference of civiliza tion ? Ho we stultify ourselves, to that extent, by our oaths to support the constitution—and has that honored instrument no function, except that of proving some thing or another to be unconstitu tional ? \\ c had really imagined that such notions had been buried with the chivalrous Representative from Virginia, whose dying request was that he might not be buried in the Congressional grave yard, which he knew was against the Con stitution ! If such ideas do yet survive, we think it is time they were put an end to. If they will not die of themselves, they ought to be extermi nated without mercy. If men w ill insist on hav ing such "consciences" and such "undcrstand ings," they ought to be kept at home with them. The country is too large—the national good name too precious—the national good sense and dignity too respectable—to be trusted in such hands. We recommend, therefore, to the Honorable Sen ator—when he next feels disposed to he conscien tious about throwing the nation's money into the Potomac, in the way of "gratuities," that he pon der on the question of pay and mileage. If he will count the nation's dollars, let him ask him self how many Kansas speeches and "blackbird'' and "pigeon" apologues it would require to furn ish as valuable a consideration to the country, for money paid, as HEBXUOX gave, when he died. V e might almost venture to suggest the possibil ity that a steamer's load of strict constructionists might well he parted with, ere one such man as lIF.KNDON' could be spared. Hut we desire to say nothing disagreeable, and we therefore conlent ourselves with hoping that the economical casuis try ot Mi. hhusoK, when it next ajqiears before the world, may be found engaged in its legitimate business of stopping the leaks, in Congress itself. Let it make an onslaught on contracts and jobs on public printing and land grants—on stationery and | nKnives, looking-glasses and "ladies' com panions." It may do no great good, to be sure yet it will at least have some pretext. But, above all—and 011 this we insist—let Mr. IVEUSON sav nothing more about his "conscience." Conscience like the stomach, never makes itself felt, until it is a little- out of order. When a man talks much about either, he is very apt to be a dyspep tic, or a hypochondriac, physical or moral. If he is not. talking will soon make him one, nnd [ico ple will take him for such, whether he be or be not. Leavenworth is represented as being overstocked with laborers. A Urge number who have arrived there were compelled to hire as teamsters to Salt Lake and Santa Fe. One of our exchanges states that he knows of over a hundred recently arrived who cannot get work, and among them quite a number of stone-masons. Oregon must be a great country for moisture. A writer for the A uirkarborker, now in Oregon, snvs it rains twenty-six hours in the day for seventeen months in the year. It commenced, he savs, on the 3d of last November and continued until the 15th of May, w hen it set in for a long storm which is not fairly over yet! Col. Smith, Superintendent of the Virginia Mili tary Institute, accompanied by several officers, is about to visit the principal military establishments of Europe and Great Britain. When a prosy olil gentleman, remarkable only for tlie contrast between the pretentious dignity of his demeanor and the emptiness of his conversa tion, claims the privilege of reading a inorai lec ture for the benefit of younger men in particular, and the edification of the world in general, though we may regard him as a bore, and may be perfectly conscious that he is giving vent to "an infinite deal of nothing," we usually suffer him to maun der on, from respect to his age, and a certain pity for his infirmities. Hut when this same venerable gentleman, not content with hooking his finger into the button-hole of a vonthful victim at the corner of one of our public streets, and then anil there exercising his self-assumed prerogative over the weary listener, undertakes the functions of a journalist, and with the superciliousness of "Sir Oracle." and the wisdom of Dogberry, proceeds to lay down the law of Journalism, to his contempo raries, it becomes us to enquire, whether his two grains of wheat are a sufficient equivalent for his two bushels of chaff. The Messina Dogberry de fines his own character when he pronounces Verges, "A good old man, sir! but he will be talking"—but that is no reason why any modern congener should find it in his heart to bestow all his tediousness upon those who have something more important to do than to listen to his twaddle. We admit that the age of a newspaper may have something to do with giving it currency, and that like an old coin it may acquire a fictitious value in the estimation of antiquarians, which, in point of intrinsic merit, it does not really possess. Nobody doubts, however, that newspapers of more recent origin, like coins fresh front the mint, stamped sharply with the impress of the time, and of a quality that will bear the test of the analyst, arc far better adapted for useful circulation than venera ble sheets, conducted by venerable editors, who in dulge in long-winded homilies on the sins of the age, but who denounce as improper in the extreme any public mention of the names of the sinners; and. who, like the ancient constable of Messina, "by virtue of their office," may suspect an assas sin. a thief, a rogue, or a rioter, to he "no true man," but who advise others, as a settled rule of conduct, that the less they meddle with such kind of men "the better it will be for their honest}-." — There is something infinitely amusing in the gra cious and patronizing air with which these cocked hatted relics of a past generation pat their neigh bors on the back and with senile garrulity prateof their age and their experience, and of the weight that should be attached to tluir admonitions.— There is, moreover, not unfrequently to be found underlying all this gratuitous counsel, a motive very different from the simply philanthropic desire to warn others from being wrecked among shotils and quicksands. "Where the tooth aches the tongue touches," and a lesson on "the weaknesses of journalism," certainly comes with tlie greatest propriety from those who are most conversant with the pains and penalties by which such "weak nesses are accomplished. [Front the A'ew Fork Herald, May 12.] GREAT KAIROAD FRAUD. ARREST OF A NEW YORK BANKER ON CHARGES OF PERJURY, EMBEZZLEMENT ANII CONSPIRACY TO DE FRAI-D—OTHER FINANCIERS INCLUDED—EXPOSE OP THE ALLEGED SWINDLING OPERATIONS OF SOME OF THE CHICAGO, ALTON AND Sr. Louis RAILROAD DI RECTORS—THE STOCKHOLDERS FLEECED, AC., Ac. On the 22d of April. Charles Gould, Esq., of Madison square, attended by his counsel, A. Oakev Hall, appeared before Judge Russell to make a criminal complaint against Henry Dwight, banker and broker of Wall street, upon which complaint, substantiated bv tin* affidavits of Mr. Gould, and those of Samuel M. Blatchford, Seaburv Brewster, ami Stewart Brown, of the firm of Brown, Brothers A Co., warrants for the arrest of Mr. Dwight were issued by Judge Russell, and a warrant also for Mr. Henry Hotchkiss, formerly President of the New Haven County Bank, and' Mr. Hamilton Spencer, formerly Yin' President of the Chicago, Alton and St. Louis Railroad Company. Upon these affidavits Mr. Dwight was arrested on Tuesday last, and by order of Judge Russell re tained in custody until to-day, when his examina tion will take place. The allegations in the affidavit of Mr. Charles Gould go to show that in June, 18511, the firm of A. T. Cowman A Co., of which one Benjamin Godfrey, of Alton, Illinois, was *t member, contracted to build a portion of the Chicago, Alton and St. Louis Rahroad, from Alton to Springfield: but the firm becoming unable to fulfill their contract, Godfrey became their assignee and undertook the comple tion. Godfrey applied to Henry Dwight, banker and broker ol New A ork, who had previously ad vanced $170,000 to Cowman A Co., for further aid, in a sum which would make his loan amount to $200,287, which Dwight agreed to give, provided that he received, in addition to Godfrey's own property, $50,000 m bonds and $250,000 in stock of the company, which was acceded to. Dwight then proposed to Godfrey to become his financial agent in New York city'until the road should be competed, and that as it would facilitate him in raising money it would bo proper to have a member ot Godfrey's firm (there was no firm then existing 1 in New York to sign copartnership notes, he proposed that one of his clerks, a .las. C. Smith' who was a minor under 21 vea'.s of age (and whose contracts were consequently worthless), should he come his pat tner. To this Godfrey, not knowing who or what Smith was, assented, and money was raised ml Milium on the notes of "Godfrey A Co " signed by the infant Smith, on the strength of God frey's name. Dwight,"before entering into this engagement, insisted upon Godfrey's assigning over to him all his property. Three of the then directors of the com pany soon after resigned, and Dwight got two of his own friends—one of them his eterk—and himself, elected in their place. Soon after Dwight wot the disbursement of the funds into his hands. He was then absolute in the board of directors, for he had a majority, and caused it to resolve that it was ex pedient to issue 52,000,000 of bonds, to be secured ,iY. a '.' rs ' mor 'trage the companv's property in Illinois. They issued a pamphlet stating that' the amount of capital stock already subscribed and se cured to the Co. was $2,500,000", which the deponent asserts was a gross misrepresentation. $2,000,000 of Ist mortgage ho.ids were placet! in Dwight's hands, no which he realized $1,717,402. Two more of tilt directors resigned in December, 1552. and Mr. Dwight caused two mote of his clerks—Kelso and Herwig—to be appointed in their place. The board then consisted of Mr. Dwight, his confidential tiicnd \\. 11. Piatt, and his three clerks—Quintard, Kelso and Herwig. The deponent charges that Mr. Dwight pledged $2,000,000 second mortgage bonds for iiis own private debts; also for the same purpose $230,000 of income bonds; that being a director in the board, he caused sundry frauds to be committed for his own benefit: that he got into his possession, and had used at various times, four million dollars ot mortgage bonds: and that none of them were used for the purpose of laying down a double track, as agreed upon hv a previous contract, according to which he was to' get six millions for laving such track and completing the road from Springfield to Joliet. The report of the Chief Engineer of the road, Ol iver 11. Lee, showed it in a prosperous condition the earnings being then (Nov. 1853) $900,000 a year, hut requiring $BOO,OOO to complete it to Joli et, which sum Dwight raised by passing his notes, endorsed by the Company, to the follow ing partics- Neiv Haven County Bank, bv Hotchkiss, Presi dent, $65,000; Henry Hotchkiss, $20,000; City Bank, New Haven, by Head, President, $30,000; Merchants' Bank, New Haven, by Peek, President, $30,000; S. 1). Pardee, Trustee, New Haven, $15,000: Phcenix Hank, Hartford, $60,000; David Skaats, President of Seneca County Bank. $10,000; Edmund Dwight, New T ork, $18,000; Win. Swinburne, Paterson, $52,000; Brown, Brothers A Co., (in iron) about $200,000; Northern Indiana Railroad Company, $300,000. Total, $BOO,OOO. Previous to tliis Dwight had given mortgage bonds and stock of the company as collateral secu rity for his individual debts to several New Haven hanks to the amount of $1,183,000. These hanks, therefore, had an interest in the management of the company, and they got Dwight to procure the ap pointment of Henry Hotchkiss as one of the direct ors, to look after their interests, and the deponent charges that Hotchkiss became the tool of Dwight and assisted liiui in the criminal proceedings with which he is charged. Dwight set to work to get the whole hoard under his thumb, ami finally succeeded in persuading those members thereof whose presence was di agreeable to him to resign, promising that he would put wealthy men in their seats. He got appointed in their place creatures of his own, among them Smith (the minor,) who immediately took their seats and proceeded to execute a lease of the road and all its property for twenty years, to a Mr. Hamilton Spen cer, on conditions that he would pay olf the debts of Ihe company and make certain annual payments to the company, provided that the income over the necessary expenses of the road would warrant him in so doing, which conditions deponent alleges Spencer never intended to fulfill, and that Divight knew the fact, and appointed his friends on the board for the purpose of carrying out this plan. Dwight and Spencer then obtained a loan of $150,000 front Brown, Brothers A Co.,giving Spen cer's lease and a mortgage on Dwight's country at Tarrytown, Dutchess county, its security.— 'he share-holders and creditors became aware ot this lease they were indignant, and consulted '■ r ?° | nc 1 Bronson and Samuel Beardsley, ex- S .e J " s s' c es, on the matter, and they gave as their opinion that the making of the lease was a gross fraud and that all the parties to it were lia ble to indictment fiir misdemeanor. . argeB| urther that Dwight, while a di i n v „ /n'oi'm"'' °" and converted to ™d or N v , """""-'.bonds, which he as . H. Bwigbtand Spencer were indicted by the Grand Jury lor becoming parties to the fraudulent lease, and conspiring to ifefruud the creditors of the company; but as the indictment originated without preliminary investigation Oik ey Hall entered a mdle prosequi on the grounds tilut he indictment would be quashed by the law of the Court of Sessions, stating that this was the sol* rea son, and not because he believed the facts in the ease were defective. Dwight, alarmed at a threat ened prosecution, confessed to the hoard that he had taken $54,000 of income mortgag ■ bonds, and offer ed to give an order for the restoration of the $24,- 000 of these bonds assigned to Potter. The offer was accepted, but the order, if it was ever given, mysteriously disappeared, and was never used. Deponent "alleges that Dwight had taken $lO,OOO of second mortgage bonds, with the understanding that they were to be exchanged for bonds of numbers over 3,500, of which it had been THE DAILY EXCHANGE, MAY 13, 1858. decided to cancel $500,000 worth, and that Dwight subsequently re-issued this $lO,OOO worth of bonds of a number below 3,500, and appropriated the money to his own use. The next act of Dwiglit's board of directors was to sell the franchise and all the properties of the company (subject to Spencer's lease) to a firm called Fullerton, Brown A Keating, of New York, they contracting to pay all the debts of the company, giving the preference to the claims of Hotclikisp' bank, Dwight and bis brother, and other friends. The charter of the company only extended to two years longer than the term of Spencer's lease. The laws of New York, the deponent states, being an obstacle to the designs of Dwight and his conn-der ates, a meeting of the board was suddenly called, and it was resolved, by a majority of Dwiglit's friends, that tlie board should meet in future in ltloomington, Illinois. Three of the directors, llotchkiss, Wright and Quintard then resigned, and Mr. Alexander, the Sec'y, a creature ofllwight's, Mr. Henry A. Gardner of Juliet, 111., and Dr. Spencer, a brother of Hamil ton Spencer, were elected in their places. Mr. Blatcliford, who was then treasurer, seeing Ihat a fraud was meditated, seized the books and papers, and got out an injunction from Judge Kooscveft re straining the Secretary (Alexander) from touching them. The board, however, went to Illinois, re moved, by resolution, Mr. Blatcliford from his post as treasurer, and Mr. Brewster from his office of President, creating Gov. Joel A. Matteson, of Illi nois, President in his stead. Meantime Judge Roose velt, on complaint of Mr. Litchfield, of the North ern Indiana Company, and others, granted an in junction restraining Dwight, Spencer & llotchkiss, and Brown Bros. A Co., as assignees of the lease, and Fullerton A Co., from assigning or putting it in use, on the ground tliat it was made to binder, delav and defraud the creditors of the company and car rying out a fraudulent intent. An arrangement was subsequently made between Mr. Matteson and Mr. Litchfield, by which they guaranteed to pay the claim of Brown, Brothers A Co., that they would devote themselves for three years to the interests of the road and of Spencer's lease as long as it lasted, or of any new company which might be formed, and that'they would de fend all snits against Spencer on account of his lease, and endeavor to procure the discontinuance of all suits commenced against Dwight or Spencer, with sundry other agreements, with the provision that when they were fulfilled Spencer should sur render his lease to a new company. Tt was further provided that all legal and just debts against tlie company should be met, and ail bona fide stock should be provided for, except such as was held as collateral for the payment of Henrv Dwiglit's debts, thus sweeping out of existence all the shares hypothecated by Dwight for his private debts. Spencer accordingly surrendered possession of his lease to Matteson and Litchfield; but though for eleven months previous he had received all the earnings of the road, amounting to a million dol lars, he never made any return of the same to the company, nor did he "pay Brown, Brothers A Co. the $150,000 borrowed of them. Fullerton A Co. then advertised the road, its pro perty and franchises for sale at public auction, sub ject to the lease now assigned to Matteson A Litch field—the whole property being worth at least eight millions. The sale tiiok place at the depot in Bioomington, on the 15th December, lsGti. There were present, as deponent alleges, Matteson. Spen cer, llotchkiss and Brown, one of Fnllerton's firm, besides a few engineers, laborers and clerks. One bid only was ottered of $5,000 by Matteson, and tlie road, with all its property, in depots, engines, cars, franchises, Ac , was knocked down to him. A bill was lobbied through the Illinois Legislature confirming the sale, and creating Matteson, Litch field and their associates a new company, with full power to run the line. The deponent, Charles Gould, concludes by praying that a warrant of ar rest may issue against the said Ilenry Dwight and such other persons who have been concerned and confederated with him as aforesaid, and that they may be dealt with as the law directs, upon those matters of conspiracy to defraud the said railway corporation, and of false pretences, and of forgeries, and of perjuries, and of embezzlements, and of false issues of stock and of bonds, and of fraudulently making of and putting into use instruments to hin der, delay and defraud the creditors of the said rail way corporation, which have been hereinbefore set forth at length. This is the history of this extcnsivecase of alleged fraud, involving charges of perjury, embezzlement and conspiracy against several parties prominent in commercial and financial affairs. The further in vestigation will no doubt bring forth many details of a startling character, which will throw much light on the mode in which the public are defrauded by the managers of large corporations.

Now he has not a single grey lock up4in his crown, nor is his hair thin or dry, but soft, pliable and moist as that of a child of five years.
