Mr. Fsolkner?I propose to call the attention of the House to an article that appeared in the Washington Republican, which 1 believe is the recognized organ of the Administration in this city. The editors head this, article, in large capitals, "Serious charges against C. J. Faulkner," and proceeds in the course of it to state what those charges are. 1 hardly think that I should dignify that article to the extent of having it reud to the Clerk's table, so as to be incorporated in the Congressional Record, but, if any gentleman so desires, that can be done. I propose simply to i otice one or two of the matters contained in that article. Mr. Speaker, 1 should have been very much disappointed, 1 might indeed say I should have been niortitied, if, in the flood of obloquy and defamation which, lor the last two months has, lrom the same source, been poured upon almost every active and leading tnan on this side of the House, I had not come in for some share of abuse 1rom this reckless and habitual detainer. It might well have been construed into evidence of my insignificancy which might have been wounding to my personal pride. It is, however, some consolation tome that with an official life extending through many years, and challenging the most unsparing scrutiny, und with an eager disposition upon the part of these hyeauol the press to feed upon filth and garbage, they have found nothing worthy ot attack except the perverted arid easily-explained matters contained in this article in the Washington Republican. an article marked by consurn.nate ignorance, and which woud be wholly unworthy of any notice here if it did not connect itself with proceedings before this Houso and a committee of this House. This leading organ of the Administration, in his ignorance, has confounded two transactions that have no possible connection with each other. I will rcier to thern separately. Early in tho session, some of my imnnvuriwl.uii rmnktihiorts rrw?n wtwi huH r""" ?????- ?? ? - ? been in the employment of the Government as mechanics and laborers at Harper's Ferry about the opening of our civil conflict in 1861?rent down their petitions to he paid their wages for March and April, 1861, which they alleged had b^sn honestly carmd aid which had never been paid by the Government. 1 lorwsrdcd these claims to the proper Bureau for cxamina tion and settlement. The reply came that these demands could not be paid by the department; first, because the claimant s were believed to be disloyal and. secondly, because the appropriation of that year had been carried to the surplus fund, and was no longer under the control of that department; and it was further stated that relief could be given only by Congress. 1 aceordingjy had tho subject referred to the Committee on Military Affairs, where these claims are now pending, subject to their consideratiou aim action. This embraces all my oornectien with that subject. The other transaction, which this common defamer has soignorantly confounded with the one just slated, was this: In 18-38 Dennis Murphy, of my county, was appointed military store-keeper and pay master at Harper's Ferry. 1 was one of four solvent men who becamo his securities in bis official bond. He settled his accounts?and so they appear upou the books of the department?witli the most scrupulous accuracy to the 1st of January, 186!. His settlements being quarterly, no further account was required of hiin until tho 1st of April, 1801. Before that last quarterly settlement could bo made the confederate forces took | ossos sion of Harpers Ferry, the vault in which * 1? ? J /v/4 uru j Kw. .L'Oii I Ills VOUt'Dl're were WIIMIIKU ???. open, and every vouclier but one destroyed. In the absence ol these loyal vouchees the accounting officers of the treasury had to treat hirn of course as a defaulter; but haviug the highest moral and persuasive evidence in their possession that ho was not really a defaulter, they per mitted the matter to slumber until the 8th of January last, when the first information was given to the securities of this apparent balance on the books of the treasury. It was then deemed expedient to present a petition to Congress, in which ail the tacts of the case wore carefully set forth; and as Allen l\ Hammond, the security thus petitioning, resided in tlie Stale of Maryland. Mr. O lirien, of that State very kindly took . charge of tho petiton and had it referred to the Coinmitteo on Military At fairs. That committee tent the petition to the chief of the ordnance bureau to examine the ktatenients contained in it, to return copies of any papers bearing upon the subject, and to express hi* opinion upon [ all the evidence bo'ore his bureau whether Paymaster Murphy was in do- ] !uull or Ool, ur.o, 11 to, W* wu?w Buivu?>. A report was made by the chief of tbo ordnance bureau, which pawed from him into tbe hands of the second Auditor ut the treasury, who also made a report,and thence through the acting Secretary of \V? r. George M. Robeson, to the Comn; ..ice on Military Atlairs of this House. 1 will quote but two short paragraphs from the report of the ordnance bureau: It all or the checks thereon reported were drawn in favor ot public creditors and from the balance shown to be on hand December 31st, including remittances alter that dale, as shown by statement B. it would seem that he had aci counted forall the public money intrusted to him. And again, at tho conclusion ot his report, he says: "In my opinion the sureties of Military Store keeper Murphy should be relieved troui responsibility under their bond." It was obvious that under these reports the Committee on Military Affairs could have done nothing leas than report a bill i discharging the securities from all further liability. But 1 said to my friend. Mr. llardenbergb, of New Jersey, a member of that committee, when he showed me these reports, that I did not wish tbe Committee on Military Affair* to report any bill in conformity with them; that 1 could not consent that any bill should pass Con great while l was a member of it that would release me from pecuniary THE WHEELING liability to the Government; and 1 accordingly requested my friend, Mr. . O'Brien, to withdraw the papers from the flies of the House, as I also informed , him that I could not consent that any legislation personally benefiting me should take place while I was a member I of the body. The papers were according1 ly, on the motion of Mr. O'Brien and with the assent of the petitioner, Hammond, by bis agent and representative ' withdrawn from the flies of the Honse about four weeks ago. And yet those are the facts upon which the leading organ of the administration in this city announces in staring capitals, UA serious charge against C. J. Faulkner," and asks that an investigation shall be made into it. Sir, if I do not characterize the editors of this public journal in the terms which they merit, and this administration which feeds and nourishes these vipers that bask in the sunshine of executive patronage, it is not from any respect to either, but because I feel restrained by that sense of propriety which is due to a unanimous vote of this House according to me the privilege of a personal explanation. I have been honored by the people with many positions of high trust and responsibility, and, while I boast no higher purity or exemption from infirmity than should characterize every ordinary American citizen, yet I should welcome with unaffected pleasure the most rigid and uusparing scrutiny into every personal and official act of nay life. The pnblic press is one of the grandest instrumentalities ever designed for the perpetuation of free institutions and for the good of mankiud. But to fulfil its exalted destiny it must be honest and under the dominion of truth. A corrupt, prostituted, debauched, and mercenary press is an enemy of liberty and a curse to the human race. No one who has observed the course of the leading organ of this administration during thepresent session of Congress, but must have been struck with the unutterable baseness and degradation of its columns. You find this fully illustrated in the facts that have this day been brought to your attention. With the privilege ot free admission within these walls toobtain correct information of the proceedings of this body and lor the purpose of imparting that information correctly to the public, you : find it deliberately perverting innocent, if not meritorious, acts of a member of this House, and spreading through the community the most unblushing perversion ot his acts. Their ignorance of facts is no excuse for their misrepresentations. If, as the celebrated Fox once said, ignorance in a statesman is a crimo, so inexcusable ignorance in an editor is equally a crime, where that is made the cover under which ho falsely and wickedly holds up to public accusation and scanda1 a meritorious act of one of the representatives of tho people. _ STICK PI* THERE. Editors of the Register: WnBBUNO, W. Va., April 9. < In your issue of the 8th inst. you hold the following language: ' The people will iudgo the sincerity of the party more by th<T character of its nominee than they wiil by its written i promises, and they will bail the nomination of one honest, unpledged and un embarrassed man by either party as a token of ho*est effort to redeem politics 1 from the hand o! traders, and restoration of the republic. If one party should put up a party hack and the other party a sound, good man, untatnted by political associations, it is our opinion that the people, irrespective of party ties and in I the spirit of the Centennial year, will rise in their majesty and take the honest man to be their President." < Now, gentlemen, this is the right kind of talk, and I am glad to say that it i* the kind of talk that is beginning to be v used by most respectable papers through- ] out the country. If the Democratic party will bring out for the presidency such a man as you describo, it will rally tens of thousands to its standard. If it should fail to do so, then there are quite as many who will say, the Democratic party may go to the dogs, and we wili go for an honest man?if wo can find . one. Where a person declares his inten- 1 tion to go for his party, right or wrong, o?e is very strongly inclined to suspect that he is either a fool or a knave; and it < is pretty well understood that neither ot these classes are yet dead, but aro still, perhaps, considerably in the majority, j Now is the time for the honest people of the land to rise up in their majesty. Lot it be understood that men are wanted? honest, capable men?not platforms Independent. m ^ Mo l>rniii|;nKurlim. We want no deioagogueism in our approaching Convention, nor in tho next . campaign. We regret alwaxs to see efforts to adVHncc a favorite by attempting to array one clues of citi/out. aguuisi nuomui?Ui? farmer against the merchant, the mechanic against the pro.'es.-ional man, the laboier against the capitalist, or those who live in one section of the county or district or State against those who live in a diff rent section. In the Legislature of a State all professions, trades and interests should be represented. Laws are made for all and affect every interest of the State, and there is no rea?ou why a lartuer, a lawyer, a merchant, a physician, a mechanic, or an ei gineer. would not make a good legislator. A Legislature composed of those who represent every interest would certainly, if the members are upright and intelligent, be able to enact laws equal, just and impartial. The Executive, whose duty it is to "take care that the laws bo faithfully executed." the law officers of the State?the Attorney General and State's Attorneys, who are required to conduct and argue causes in which the State is interested, the Jud go?, wht?se duty it is to adminhter the iuw?should all have a thorough and profound knowledge of the science ol the j law, and the more they know of it the better. Away with that demagugaeUm which advocates the election, to any of thesn offices, of a man because he is a < ... m..rsh*nL or nuchanic, and | mruici % t 1 because ho is not a lawyer. Such advo cuey is not creditable to the intelligence I of those who indulge in it, nor to that of the people to whom it is addressed.?Independent THE DECLARATION OP INDEPENDENCE. How it was Received la Rich mend. The Virginia QazetU, published at Williamsburg, in an issue during August, 1776, gave the following, whicn is of interest this centennial year: 4 On Monday last, being court dav. the Declaration ot Indepc fierce was public. ly proclaimed in the t<-wn i f Kieumond J betore a large concourse of respectable freeholder* of Henrico Guuuly, ami upwards of 200 militia, woo assembled on ; that grand ooeasipn. It was received [ i with universal shouts of joy and reechoed I by three volleys olsmail arms. The same , evening the town was illuminated, and ' l the member* of the committee held a club, j where many patriotic toasts were drunk. Although there were near one thousand present, the whole was conducted with i the utmost decorum; and the satisfaction { visible in every countenance sufficiently evinces their determination to support it i with their lives and fortunes. i "Now will America's sons bertame In- j crease. 1 In arms and science, with glory, honor, , and peace." It is suggested that the Richmond people, if so inclined, might very appropri| ately celebrate the centennial aaaiverva| ry of the event here recorded. r DAILY REGISTER BANKS. capital, <iso,oM JOHN K.
