(Cijicago ®riJmne. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1881. MORE COERCION. Mr. Colfax’s bill for discontinuing the mail service in those States which have de clared themselves out of the American in ion, passed-the House yesterday by majority. Is not this a flagrant iM<e of “coercion?” It is true that the Alabama Postmasters have generally re fused to account to the United States Gov rrnnu nt for their receipts; it is true, also, the m ills arc systematically rifled through out that mitre country; but let us not talk about coercion. Let us continue to COMPROMISE! NONSENSE* The Springfield correspondent of the ('mcmuiuti Commercial writes that the Chicago Tribune is being denounced by rtTiain quidnuncs thereabout M for assum ing to speak for Mr. Lincoln.” This is iihntti the fiftieth lime that we have repu diate! the slander, alike unjust to Mr. Lin ‘•«'ln and to ourselves. We believe that Mr. Lincoln is quite up to the business of • peaking for himself when he wants to say anything, and we are daily endeavoring to s-hnvv that we knowhow to clothe our own ideas in plain language, without running to anybody for either ideas or language. THE PRECISE DIFFEBENCE. Tiie Chicago Journal Is unable to sec *• where the Chicago Platform is invaded” by u proposition that neither Congress nor •*ny Territorial Legislature sliall abolish, prohibit, or in any manner interfere with African slavery in any United Stales Ter rhory south of SC deg. «0 min. The fact t 1 ml the Journal is unable to see this thing will in »t create general astonishment But wc will endeavor once more to show the difference. First, let us quote two para graphs from the Chicago Platform: 7. That the new dogma that the Constitution, of ii- ov. ii force, carries Maxeiy into any or allot the Territory** of the United States, is a dangerous Army, at variance with the explicit pro vl-luu- i>i' that instrument itself, with colemno iav.-.ni-exposition. mid with legislative and jo (ii.-inl precedent: ‘is rtV'jiiUioiuny in its tendency, uud mltctrthc vf the 2* ace ancl harmony of the (yiHutry. s. Ti.at the normal condition .of all the territory of the Untied Suitea is that of Freedom: That as t»ur Ri-pnbilran lathers, when they had abolished slavery in all our national territory, ordained that ••in. ji'-rnoii .bould lie deprived nf life, liberty, or property, without dac process of law,” xt becomes our duty, by legislation, whenever such legislation 1* imtcsmut, to maintain this provision of the t v >nst ii ut km oguiurt all attempts to violate it; and }r - dt i,y the authority of Congress, of a territorial A 'fmiufars. or of any individuals, to give legal or i--. r.rv to slavery t/» any Territory of the united States. Now with ninety-nine out of every hun dred men, having the smallest endowment of brains, the case is already made out. But we are not disposed to overtax the r 'atoning powers of the hundredth man. Therefore we prosccd to remark; I. That the proposition to deny the right oi the people of the United States through (.■•ingress, or the people of the Territories through their Legislature, to prohibit slav ery in those Territories, is either an admis that the Constitution docs cany slav ery into those Territories, or a deliberate endeavor to prevent it so that it shall cany ‘-invery there. This, we submit, is palpa bly nt variance with the 7th section of the Chicago Platform printed above. 11. That the aforesaid proposition is an attempt to “give’legal existence to slav ery" in these Territories. Does any one deny this? The Constitution says that “ i :e right of the people to keep and bear ** a rms shall not be infringed.” Does not this clause make legal the right of the peo ple to keep and bear arms? It is proposed t<> amend the Constitution so that the right to carry slaves into the Territories and hold them there as slaves ** shall not be infring ed." Does not this make it a legal and constitutional right? And is it not a pal pable violation of the Bth section of the Chicago Platform? It is certainly puzzling to one’s senses lo be called oh lo show that white is not black, that light Is not darkness, that heat Is not cold. Is any one so ignorant as not to know that the Democratic party was rent in twain last year on this issue—one section affirming, and the other denying, the right of a Territorial Legislature to pro hibit slavery? No; all the world knows it. And is it contended now that the Re publican parly took the some view of the case as the Breckinridge party, or took no different view ? Why, this would makethe Douglas party the only organization in the field opposed to the extension of slavery! But we will waste no more words over ax ioms clear as noon-day to the comprehen sion of a child. We only insist that those persons who seek to violate and spurn the Chicago Platform shall have the courage lo sav so like men. CIRCULATION OF THU TRIBUNE. An evening contemporary lias taken oc casion 10 refer to the action of a lew slm_ plHonswho seem to have no better busi ness than to run around town begging the subscribers of the Tribune to “stop their paper.*’ It gives vs pleasure to record the result of their labors. The following table exhibits the number of subscriptions re ceived at this office during the past three days, and the number of city subscribers who have “knocked off* during the same time: Subscribers received February 4. Total for three days.... . *, City t>iihhcriberd discontinued during same lime Majority in favor of the TnmcxE, Any person who chooses to verify this table can be accommodated by calling at oar counting room during business hours, where evidence of these facta will be found sufficient to satisfy any jury In the United Suites. But go ahead, gentlemen! It is a dirty business, to be sure. It is true you get snubbed about twenty times where you find one sympathiser. It,ls a fact that you buy the TnrncKE every morning, or borrow It from a neighbor, for with all your spleen you can't afford to go without the news. It is evident that we inight make you uncom fortable in reputation and business if we should descend to your level. But be not discouraged. You are entirely safe in our hands. We shall not expose you. Grub away in the dark till you arc -thoroughly sail-Ccd, and.when you have finished we will make another exhibit of profit and loss. ■ Good Near* from Kentucky.

THE TREASURY IHVESTIGATIOU Action of the Committee on the Bank Question. PROGRAMME OF MR. LLKCOLK’S JBOBHEV, AG. [Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.] Springfield. Fcii. 0, 1860. TUB TAX. UUX. The Senate was engaged nearly all day on House message , nnd yore act ivcly at work from two until five this afternoon. A substi tute for the bill suspending the collection of taxes, was introduced from the Judiciary Com m-ttcc, debated at some length and recommit ted. It looks now as if bus measure will be killed in th Senate. TREASURY INVESTIGATION Senator Jayne introduced a resolution ap pointing Messrs. Higbic and Kuykendall, Dem ocrats, on the Treasury Investigation Commit tee, which after some backing and filling on the port of the opposition, passed. Finally Mr. Underwood moved the reconsideration of the vote, pending which Mr. Higbic disclaim ed any connection with the movement for in vestigation, exonerated Mr. Butler, the Treas urer, and h!s department, from the suspicion even of anything wrong, and declined to act on the Committee. Tbe motion was reconsid ered, and so made an end of the investigation business. ASSESSMENTS ON RAILROADS. The House used up pretty nearly the whole afternoon in the discussion of a bill introduced by Mr. Brown of Chicago, allowing railroad companies, when wrongfully assessed, to ap peal directly to the Supreme Court, in the same manner as the act passed at the session of 1859, providing an appeal from the Auditor to the Supreme Court, in the case of the Illi nois Central railroad assessment. An amend ment was offered and adopted, allowing ap peals to the Circuit Courts to recover any ex cess In the amount of taxes that railroad com panies may be compelled to pay. Finally the bill was recommittd to a special committee of live. EVANSTON RAILROAD RILL PASSED. A resolution was offered in course of the af ternoon, calling up the Evanston Railroad bill from the Committee of the Cook County Delegation. It then passed. THE BANE BILLS. The Joint Committee of the House and Sen ate agreed to those points in the Bank bill printed at the conclusion of yesterday’s dis patch, to give banks six montits to make good dcllcieucies without forfeiture of charter; cen tral redemption it three-fourths per cent, dis count; oiler the expiration of that tiraeonc half per cent, redemption, (not compulsory) but thirty days at six per cent, interest given before forfeiture, in case.thc party will not ac* ccpt such redemption. The whole matter was referred to a sub-committee of five, to be selected from the Joint Committee, to get up a bill to include the best features of all the bills. NEW JUDICIAL CIRCUIT. The bill lo create out of Champaign, Ford and Vermillion counties, a new Judicial Cir cult, the 28th, passed the House. The Appor tionment resolutions did not come up. fitz henry warren op IOWA. Fitz Henry Warren arrived this morning from lowa. (He is said to be looking for a scat in the Cabinet as Postmaster General. MR. LINCOLN’S MOVEMENTS. The time table over the Great Western Rail road of Illinois has been made up for the special train to take Mr. Lincoln to Washing ton. It will consist of a single passenger car only, with the usual attending baggage ear. The President’s party will number fifteen. Of these none will be ladles—Mrs. Lincoln choos ing to avoid the fatigue of such a journey. The train will leave Springfield at 8.30 a. m. Monday, the Uth insL, and go through in four hoars and fifty minutes, stopping at Decatur and Tolono, and arrive at the Indiana State line at 1:20 P. M.; thence the party go to La layelte, and thence to Indianapolis, where they will arrive at SP. M. Such sire the present arrangements, which may be modified before the day arrives. MISCELLANEOUS. Judge Brecse and CoL Singleton have recon sidered their resolution of going to Washing ton, and remain unceuspicuous in Spfmgfield- Daniel W. Voorhces, M. C. elect from Indiana is in the city. Every county in the State is now represented in Springfiield, and Mr. Lin coln’s reception this evening is largely at tended. Ktr« Lincoln and Hr, Cameron. The Philadelphia Sunday Mercury publishes I an account of an interview recently had with I the President elect by a committee of the | friends of Mr, Cameron, from that city. The following is the substance of the narrative: About a quarter of an hour after tho ap pointed time, the committee were all present, in their room, when a knock was heard at the door, which was opened, and in walked a tall gentleman, whose appearance could not well be miatflkftn by any one wbo had overseen the numerous portraits of “ Unde Abe,” Dr. Smith said—“ Mr. Lincoln, I presume.” The tall gentleman replied, “Yes, sir,” and divesting himself of Ids overcoat and gloves, he begged the committee to be seated, and have a friendly conversation with him, “with out reserve,” as he pleasantly remarked. Dr. Smith stated to him the purport of the resolutions entrusted to the care of the Com mittee, and had reached the point where it was stated that Pennsylvania desired to have in the Cabinet one who had ever been true to her interest, when Mr. Lincoln interrupted him by saying: “ Yes, 1 know who yon allude to—Gen. Cameron. This subject has already engaged a large share of my attention and I have every reason to hope that your wishes will be grati fied. I feel a strong desire to do something for your State, and 1 am determined she shall be satisfied, if I can do It.” The resolutions were read to him, when he continued, nearly in this language: “ Gentlemen, in the formation of my Cabi net, 1 shall aim as nearly os possible at perfec tion. Any man whom I may appoint to such a position, must be, as far as possible, like Caesar's wife, pure and above suspicion, of unblemished reputation, and undoubted in tegrity. I have alrciidy appointed Senator Seward and Mr. Bates of itissouri, and they arc men whose characters 1 think the breath of calumny cannot impeach. In regard to Gen eral Cameron, 1 nave received assurance without limit from gentleman whose word is entitled to credit, that he is eminently fitted for the position which his friends desire him to fill, and that his api>ointment would give great satisfaction to Pennsylvania. 1 have a great desire to appoint Gen. Cameron, for the reason that he was formerly a Democrat, and I wish to give that element a fair repre sentation in the distribution of the offices. Both Hr. Seward and Mr. Bates were for merly old line Whigs, and, for this'reason, I feel a disposition to appoint Gen. Cameron. But on the other hand, there is a strong op position to him; not from his own State, it Is true, for the opposition to him there is so slight that it is scarcely worth mentioning. The feeling against him appears to come from Ohio, and one or two of the Western States. His opponents charge him with cotruption In obtaining contracts, and contend that if be is appointed he will use thepatrongc of his office for his own private gain. I have no knowledge of the acts charged against him, but 1 intend to make an Investigation of the whole matter,, by allowing his opponents to submit their proof, and 1 shall give him an opportunity of explaining any part he may have had in the transactions alleged against him For my own part, I can see no Impropriety in his taking contractor making money out of them, os that Is a mere matter of business. There is nothing wrong In this, Tin^R some unfairness or dfa bonesty Is shown, which supposition I have no ■ doubt Gen. Cameron will be able to disprove. I shall deal fairly with him, but I say to you, gentlemen, frankly, that if the charges against him are proven, he cannot have a scat in ray Cabinet, as I wSi not have any man associated with me whose character is impeached. 1 will say farther, tb*t- if he vindicates himself, I have the strongest desire to place him in the ; position you wish him to fill, and which you think the interests of your State demand. If, after he has been appointed, I should be de i ceived by subsequent transactions of a disrep utable character, the responsibility will rest upon you, gentlemen of JhvntyUxmia, «ho have so strongly presented hUdeUm to mu consideration. But this is supposing a state of things which may never occur.” The conversation now changed - to other topics. The Committee inquired of him if he. were not annoyed by so many gentlemen palling upon him, to which he replied that he L Buffered no Inconvenience oh that score. ’No matter .how many of his friends called,'he would be pleased to sec them. National ques tions were touched upon, but as hedid notap pear tohe communicative upon these subjects, : the inquiries were not pressed. The Interview lasted about two hours aud a half, when the President elect retired. lbs Committee returned to Philadelphia at an early hour onlastfiunday morning. Affairs at (he National Capital* [Special dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.] Washington, Feb. 6,1860. The City Council lias appointed a commit tee to •wait on Messrs. Lincoln and Hamlin, and receive them in Washington. Gen. Scott received several threatening let ters yesterday. He has changed quarters Irom up tovm to the National Hotel. THE SOUTH CAROLINA COMMISSIONER. CoL Hayne leaves in the morning for Charles ton, having received a reply from the Presi dent that he cannot dispose of Fort Sumter as the property of the Federal Government, that power resting solely with Congress. This will be reported by him to Gov. Pickens, and then, it hostilities arc to commence at all, we will have them immediately. Lieut. Hall left this afternoon with dispatches for Major Anderson, which were prepared for him yesterday by the President, Secretary of War and Gen. Scott. COUNTING THE VOTES. On Wednesday, tbe 13th inst, the Senate and House will meet in joint Convention, in the hall of the House of Representatives, with the Vice-President in tbe chair, to count the votes for President and Vice President, On that day Lincoln will be declared to be elected President, by Breckinridge.' '*• PETITIONS. A large number of petitions were presented in the Senate to-day praying for the Union and the Constitution as they are, and the enforce ment of the laws. Senator Wade presented a petition of the citizens of Philadelphia, numerously signed, urging Congress to stand firmly in support of the Union, the Constitution and the laws. VIRGINIA ELECTION. The Virginia election lias greatly elevated the hopes of Union men; but it is important at this time that the result should not be mia understood. The great bulk of those elected a- Unionists are for secession in case certain measures of compromise arc not adopted. How for their demands go cannot now be stated, but they will require some action by Congress before the Ist of March, looking to a final settlement of existing troubles. This I obtain from a welt informed source, auditmny be relied upon. It is confirmed by views ex* pressed by John Tyler in the Conference to day, upon the occasion of being chosen Presi dent. INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAJOR ANDERSON. Lieut. Hull takes out Instructions to Major Anderson to maintain bis position, but to make no aggression unices assailed He is promised reinforcements, in case they can be got to him. Scott and Holt have brought the President up to his former policy. It is even now not believed that the Caroli- mans will attack the Fort until toward the last of the session. SELECT COMMITTEE. The examination to-day before the Select Committee of Five was the most important yet had. Certain Baltimore witnesses were before the Committee, one of whom admitted that he was engaged in drilling men. He de nied that any attack had been secretly con certed against the Capital. What was to bo done would be done openly. He furtherstated that the organization existed to prevent any mined bodies of men from the North visiting Washington between now and the inaugura tion, and said such an attempt would inev itably lead to bloodshed. The witness openly avowed himself a secessionist in case existing difficulties arc not speedily settled. He did not state the number oi the organiza tion, but admitted it wps large. Howard asked him how he would know whom to oppose, and what number of men would call for t heir opposition. The witness replied the Balti more'ns would keep a bright look-out. It is understood that “National volunteers” arc in this movement, aud are being constantly drilled in warlike exercises. To-morrow sev eral othcrimportaut witnesses from Baltimore will beexnmined,and soraelliingwill probably be elicited of an interesting character. The witnesses get two dollars per day aud Con gressional mileage. BOTTS DEFEATED. Botts has been defeated for the Virginia Convention. [Telegraphic Correspondence Cln. Commercial.] Washington, Feb. B. 1861. An Important caucus of Republicans, last night, developed the fact tbattherc are 58Rep resentatives who will vote against all com promises. The Washington Conference is not likely to do much but speechify for some t me. The exclusion of the public creates much dis satisfaction. Dix gets no answer from Louis iana about the seizure of the Mint, and Ihe re fusal to pay drafts. The Administration will probably retaliate by stopping the mails. Con gress will doubtless repeal tbu sugar duty. Senator Johnson of Tennessee made a very powerful speech to-day. It was no falling oil* from the former one, but his ground was strengthened by many new arguments against secession. He made nrst effective use of the withdrawal yesterday of the Louisiana Sena tor, which he treated sarcastically, saying he almost thought Mark Anthony had come back to bid Senators “if they had tears prepare to shed them now.” Whatbad the Union done to Louisiona ? It. had fonght her battles, paid her millions on millions protection on sugar, built her forts, arsenals, dock yards, custom houses, hospitals I These were her wrongs, to redress which, she had seized forts, arsenals and everything else, and had ended by pocketing the Federal Mint, containing half a million of treasure. And this is the way the Govern ment is oppressing Louisioua—by lettiugher take everything with impunity! Johnson charged the secessionists with treason, in un qualified terms—their grievances aud oppres sions were mere pretences and nothing more. They were alarmed lest something, would be dune to satisfy the public mind, and so were hurrying Virginia into secession. But he thanked God they were checkmated there! He proved, bv numerous historical citations, that South Carolina never favored government by the people. She wanted to cede from the cause of the colonics In the Revolution, and return to the rule of Great Britain. Johnson dissected Joe Lone of Oregon in merciless and unanswerable argument. He (Johnson) had traversed Tennessee in the last cam paign, to prove Lane and Breckinridge were nottbe embodiment of disunion, but were pa triotic and opposed to secession. Now his reward was to see Lane leading for the seces sion of all the States South, and abnsing him (Johnson) tor standing by the Union. If .Lane had stood three short moons ago where be docs now, he could not have gotten a thousand votes in Tennessee. Johnson pro duced records to prove that at the last session of Congress the Senate voted down Brown’s resolution that protection of slavery in the territories was uecessair. Only five votes were for It. Only last May all these seces sionists, Hammond, Chesnut, Slidell, Benja min, Clay, Clingman, Hunter and Lane, de clared under solemn sanction of an oath. *• protection to slavery was not necessary,” Now thy break up the Union because Con gress will not protect slavery. What rights liavc the South lost since last year? Lane of Oregon swore on the 25th of May last that slavery' didn't need protection. Now he gets up here and tells the country the South must secede because she can't get what he swore she didn’t need. The«e and other hits made the Southern side wince tremendously. Lane turned red as a turkey gobbler, and Mason strutted about the Senate Chamber in a towering rage, while the galleries applauded loudly. John son denounced all attempts to blockade the Mississippi : and the impudence of Louisiana, in declaring negatively in her ordinance that she possessed the right over the navigation of that river, lie spoke three hours, and will couclud e to-morrow. The Commerce on the niuinippi Al* - ready Interfered With. [From the Louisville Courier of yesterdayd from NSW OBijqya. A telegraphic dispatch to one of our hugest importing houses, from its agent In New Or leans, was received yesterday, stating that the United States Custom House there was now in >p»ses«ion of Louisiana, that the bonds given h Louisville for the payment of the unties here were refused, and that to pass or obtain the goods it wus necessary to pay .the duties there, unless the Surveyor of Customs here would grant cancelling certificates for goods bonded in the name of Louisiana. This, of course, could not be done, and as the import ers have some doubts, under the circumstan ces, as to their responsibility to the Govern ment ceasing after the payment of dntics at New Orleans, the Louisville,Suryeyorh»s_ap plied to'the”Secretary of the Treasury for in stmetions in regard to the matter. The Louisville Journal gives this matter In the following shape : - XHPOKTAJfT DISPATCH FHOH 3TEW. ORLEANS. The following dispatch has been received by a leading merchant in this city, from a corres pondent in New Orleans: - ■ New Obleass, Feb. 1,1881. .

It makes it very Inconvenient for short legged men like myself, There is scarcely any ice in the Bay. The coldest weather we have had so far this winter was on the morning of the 23d lust.; when the thermometer indicated 12 deg. above zero. There is scarcely any. ice in the lake between the main land and the Maniton Islands. Sail boats come from the North Man iton about once a week to get Nick Pickard’s Tpatl, There will be between 15,000 and 20,000 cords of wood got out on the Bay this winter, 10,000 of which will be for propeller-piers. Our docks will have a good supply of dry.wood to commence with in the spring. We had two hundred and forty arrivals and departures of steam vessels here during the past season. I will write you whenever anything turns np which I think will interest your readers. C. The Board of Trade and (he late Eastern Excursion. In view of the pleasant and at the same time useful manner in which the late excursionists to Philadelphia via the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago K. R. passed their time, and the general good feeling established be tween Chicago, Milwaukee and -Eastern mer cantile men, the following resolutions, adopt ed by the Board of Trade yesterday morning, are’very appropriate: Whereas, The recent excursion to the cities of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia by a delegation of the member* of this Board, has been prolific of pleas ure to the parties, and of deep interest in a social and business point of view to the entire board; therefore Shotted, By the Board of Trade of the city of Chicago, That our thanks arc due and are hereby tendered to the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chi cago, the Pennsylvonia Central, the Philadelphia, Wumington and Baltimore, the Baltimore and Ohio, and the Northern Central Railroad Compa- nies fur passes over the. respective Roads; to the Board of Trade of the city,of Pittsburgh for their cordial reception and their kind attentions In showing the excursionists their varied and exten rive manufacturing establishments; to the Board of Trade, the Com Exchange, the Common and Select Councils and the citizens of Philadelphia gencrally, for their ma-jnificcnt banquet, their hearty welcome, and their open and generous hos pitality during the slay of the excursionists in their beautiful city; to Col.

Valuable Horse Killed. —A fine, dapple grey gelding, the property of Mr. Lacy, of this city, was killed yesterday by coming in collision with the shafts of another carriage, on Mlcsigan Avenue. Both vehicles and horses were approaching each other at high speed, and the force of the shock was suffi cient to bury the shaft of the carriage in the chest of the grey horse and to strike his heart, killing the noble animal instantly. Mr, Lacy valued his animal at SBOO. . Curtis L. North Aft air.—The exam ination of Curtis L.

It will be remembered that in tins caac afll davits were filed in the Superior Court, charg ing the Recorder with all sorts of prejudice against the prisoner, add asking for a writ of certiorari to remove to that Court. The Mayor, as usual, made a great blow against the Recorder. Upon full hearing before the SapcriorConrt the motion was refused, f Yesterday morning thecaee was again colled up before the Recorder,* by counsel for the prisoner asking that it jib set down for trial on some day to be fixedL Recorder stated that as the defendant professed to believe he was prejudiced against bun, and although he could not conscientiously grant the change, when called upon to decide judicially, yet he would feci obliged to tjie State’s Attorney if he would consent to a change of venue, and try the cause in some other Court. The State’s Attomejy’Ylr. Haven, replied that he had heretofore opposed the motion for a change, because be considered that an unjust and outrageous attack bad been made upon the Recorder by a portiontof the counsel, not present this morning, he understood, on ac count of 111 health; that while he preferred to try the cause in the Recorder’s Court, where he believed a fair trial would be had, yet he believed he could haven fair trial in any of the other Courts in the city; and as it had al ways been the with of tife Recorder (since be was charged with prejudice in the case) that the venue might be changed, henowproposed to the counsel for the prisoner to take the case before the Superior or Circuit Court, and fix upon a day for trial. To this the counsel for Blsscll, Mr. Dexter, replied that they were satisfied that the Re corder had given them one fair trial, and they had perfect confidence he .would give them another, and therefore they could not consent to take the case before any other Court. The Recorder said he was sorry that the belligerant counsel in this -case, who had drawn, sworn to and tiled (saying the least he conld, very carelessly and strangely drawn,) affidavits, yet he fell it his duty, in view of the strange proceedings In this case to say that so far as he was concerned ho should always endeavor not to .allow the improper conduct of any prisoner's counsel • Influence his action. That it was often hard to account for the course some of them pursued. In this case it was hard to say whether counsel had been moved to action with the hope of flattering, or fear of villification from some one outside who owns and publishes a newspaper, and who has for his own purposes seen fit to try this, among many other eases, through the medium of that paper. Bnt you, Mr. Bisseli, are an intelligent and experienced man, and have been employed for a long time by the Chamber of Commerce of St. Lonis. I would advise you to publish a card denying that you have Lad any agency in procuring the publication of articles in that newspaper with a view of prejudicing the public mind in your favor; and you should avoid all inter course with any' person who would seek to interfere with the trial of any criminal cause for his own selfish purposes. In the Recorder’s Court yesterday, before Recorder Robert S. Wilson, Andrew Dally, alias Ferry Daily, was acquitted of the crime of larceny of property from the Gage llouse. The jury had no doubt of the guilt of the de fendant,but from tbefact that he had previous ly borne a good character and this was hi« first offence, they gave a verdict of acquittal. Generous if not just. The following were the presentments and pleadings yesterday: Andrew Klein, plead not guilty to a charge of petit larceuj*. J. G. Wickon counsel. Ca tharine Mack, larceny. Mot guilty. tL Mason, counsel. John Golden, for larceny at the late fire on Ktnzle street, plead not guilty to the indict ments. J. Jtasdu, counsel. * Matthew Kingman, alias Nathan Kingman* charged with the robbery ot Messrs. Sbo feldt’s store, No. ISI North Clark street, plead guilty. E. Runyon, counsel. Edward Keys alias Edward Case, larceny. Two indictments; idea, gnilty. J. J. Sul livan, counsel. Catherine Wallace <.t Eliza Wallace, charged with larceny, first plead not gnilty, but yesterday this pica was withdrawn and oue of guilty substituted. J. Lyle King, counsel Three indictments were brought against John C. Davlln for false imprisonment. The trial of Patrick Comfort, for larceny of copper and brass fixtures, was concluded in the afternoon, and a verdict of guilty brought in. He was also found to be under eighteen years of age. This will probably save him from the State prison, but give him quarters in the County Jail or City Bridewell. The case of the people against Thomas Sampson was not conclnded when the Court adjourned Inst evening. The facts elicited in this trial are of aii interesting character, and would serve to “point a moral oradom a talc”. —of city life. It seems thafonc Wm.Calhoun* a resident of Stark county, some time since re turned from the East, where he had been to dispose of some property, with the proceeds of the sale in his pocket, consisting of currency and a droll to the nett amount of about SSOO. He asked. Sampson, the defendant, to direct him to a hotel, which, after performing, it was agreed to “see the lions.” The Stark county gentlemen satMhe lions and got “chawed up most catawampously. 1 ’ When he got back to his hotel his money was gone. _ Sampson was arrested and a patent medicine circular, claimed to have been in the possession of tbe plaintiff, but which left him when his money did, was found on the defendant’s person. Mr. Calhoun, lor some two years has been a minis ter of the gospel. He may come ont purified from backsliding and the lesson be has been taught may do him good hereafter. The case will be continued this morning. Old Stagers Turned Valiant. —Harry Leffingwell, late of North’s Amphitheatre, and W. 11. Leighton, formerly connected with Mc- Vicker’s Theatre, have josntd a company formed at the Variety Theatre, New Orleans, to fight in the cause of the secessionists, the former as Lieutenant, the latter as Quarter mas ter. “ Harry will only be a laughing stock, whatever role he adopts,” says the Journal , “and as Leighton was nevermore than a quar*. ter-actor, we suppose he will make a good, quarter-master.” Bather “ faint praise” that Another Temperance Argument.—Coro ner James held an inquest yesterday morning upon the remains of Catharine Quigley, at her late home, a shanty on Division street, near the Ogden CanaL " Oh Tuesday Mrs. Quigley went out to do a day’s labor at No. 115 Wabash avenue, from whence she returned intoxicated.

Achaiuj Lincoln has been triumphantly elected Pres ident of the United States for four years fromthclth ot March, isdi. We are entering upon a year that will be memorable in the annals of American politics. The Fire-Eaters ot the Cotton States have undertaken to break uptbe American Union, because they are notallowed forever to rale It, The people have decidedat the ballot-box,to have the Federal Government administered according to the precepts and policy of the Fathers; and in strict accordance with the Constitution they have elected a President to execute their wilL The slave-holding oli garchy refuse to submit, and have proclaimed their purpose to disrupt the Confederacy unless their de mands shall be Immediately compiled with, which em brace the following points: PuiANDsoF the Fi re-Ea.tkes.-13 t. That the people of the North shall give up tbelrconvictiuns that Slave ry ta wnoxn, and profess to believe tliat It la morally uud politically riihit. lid. That the Constitution shall be so construed as to recognize Property in Man. and thereby Nationalize the institution of American Slave ry. So, That the Free States shall pay for all fugitives irum labor who may escape. 4th. That all State laws against kidnapping shall be repealed. sth. That Slave re shall be extended Into all the Territories and pro tected by a Federal Slave Code.
