FORTY WISCONSIN BANKS
THROWN OUT.
Another bank excitement occurred here
yesterday, over tbe throwing out of some
forty Wisconsin Banks. We publish the
list in the money article, on the fourth
page, where will also he found the quar
terly report of the Bank Comptroller of
that State. It shows the condition of all
the Banks of Wisconsin, and is a capital
document for all business men to cut out
and keep till another is issued, on the first
of July.
The Tribune has for years past warned
the people of the crash that is now upon
us. If it results in giving our own State
and Wisconsin a sound hanking system,
based on specie, the business public will
patiently endure their present losses in an
ticipation of the better times that are to
follow. Let us hereafter have specie pay
ing banks or none.
We repeat the caution to all our readers
not recklessly to sacrifice their money. It
all has some positive value, and the most
is undoubtedly to be made out of it by
holding it till the storm blows over. In all
human probabilities it will not last many
weeks.
GLEAMS OF LIGHT.
The reader will find a mass of highly
wrought rumors in our telegraph column,
all pointing to a vigorous grappling with
the traitors of Jeff. Davis’s heptarchy.
There seems to he at least one circum
stance of which there can he no doubt, to
wit, that the utmost activity is dis
played in the- Brooklyn navy yard
and that vessels of war are being put in
commission as rapidly as possible. Vari
ous projects are ascribed to. thCfee move
ments, which include the reinforcement of
Forts Sumter and Pickens and the collec
tion of the revenue on shipboard in the
Southern ports. All patriots will hope
fervently that these things maybe so. Af
fairs have arrived at that point where
either the government at Washington or
the government at Montgomery must go
down.
A dispatch received last evening says
that the .Morris Island battery has fired
upon another steamer, and that Major An
derson lias demanded an explanation of
Gov. Pickens.
THE STBAITS.
In another column of to-day's paper
will be found a sketch of the trip of the pro
peller McQueen to the S.raits of Macki
naw. She proceeded to within two miles
of the tower-lights on Waugashance, where
ihe ice was ten inches thick, covered with
about twelve inches of snow. Should we
have reasonably warm weather for a week
to come, it is supposed that the Straits will
be opened by the 15ch instant. Never be
fore in the history of the West, was the
event looked for with greater anxiety.

[Correspondence of the Chicago Tribune.!
Wabhinqtoic, April 16, 3861.
In my last, I took occasion to asseverate in
emphatic and positive terms, that, appearances
to the contrary notwithstanding, it was the
earnest intention of the Republican Adminis
tration to uphold the supremacy of the Fed
eral Constitution and laws with all the means
at its command. I affirmed furthermore, that
although uncontrollable circumstances would
probably necessitate the evacuation of Fort
Sumter, all the other military posts along the
Gulf coast still occupied by Federal troops
would not only be held at all hazards, hut so
strengthened by re inforcements as to enable :
them to defy any force the cotton rebels would
be able to raise against them. The develop
ments of the last few days have vindicated all
my assertions In the premises. The Ibrts at
Tortugas and Key West have been re-enforced
with several hundred troops and supplied with
provisions for six months, and as to Fort
Pickens, I feel authorized to state that Lieut.
Slemmer has at this hour no less than e ix
hundred troops under his command—a num
ber sufficient not only to repel any attack, but
also to render any successful investment im-
possible. Official advices received here since
the arrival of the Daniel Webster in New York
leave no doubt as to the safe landing of tlxe
troops despatched for the re-enforcement of
the Fort nearly three weeks ago. An entirely
erroneous impression seems to have got
abroad in regard to the efficiency of the pre
parations of the revolutionists for the Beige of
Fort Pickens. I have conversed with an offi
cer of high rank on the subject within the last
twenty-four hours. He ridiculed the idea
given out by the Secession press that the gar
rison was already cut off from all communica
tion, and a re-enforcement from the fleet in
Pensacola bay was no longer practicable, and
expressed the grea-est confidence not only
that Lieut Slemmer could arrest in but little
time any attempt to prevent the landing of
troops with his heavy guns, but also that un
der cover of the night, a re-enforcement
could be always made, without incurring any
risk of life or property.
An occurrence at the White House on Sat
urday evening, the details of-which I learned
yesterday morning, furnishes additional evi
dence of the solicitude of the President to re
deem the pledges given in his inaugural, and
discharge his constitutional duties without
fear of consequences. At the stated time,
three Western Congressmen, one of them, a
United States Senator from Wisconsin, called
on the President by special appointment They
found him engaged in looking over a number
of maps of the Gulf coast After a few min
utes of general conversation, one of the visit
ors told him, that they thought it their duty
previous to their departure for their Western
homes, to inform the executive of the anxiety
ofthe loyal Republicans. of the Northwest to
see the outraged honor and dignity of the Fed
eral Government redressed, and its authority
maintained in all the States ofthe Union, by
a Republican President The spokesman the n
referedtothe demoralizing and humiliating
effect of a passive attitude ofthe Government
in the fear of the rampant treason, aggression
and rebellion and intimated that although
the people of the States they represented
had recognized the “inexorable necessity” of
the evacuation of Fort Sumter and were ready
to abide by it, they had hoped that the Fed
eral property yet within the control of the
government would be held and protected, and
the revenue laws executed. In reply to this,
the President gave his visitors to. understand
that the evacuation of Fort Sumter teas not by any
means a settled fact ; that it was certainly his anx
ious desire to retain possession ofthe Fort and that
he would greatly regret to be obliged to yield to
necessity and withdraw the garrison; that as to
the other forts, he knew his duty and would fvIJU
it by holding than to the lasi / ajtd in regard to
the collection ofthe revenue, the executive liad no
other alternative left than to exact its payment as
far as it lay in his power. Comment Is uu
necessary.
An entirely nnexpected issue has been
sprung upon the Administration by the recent
events upon the island of St. Domingo. On
Sunday morning, a bearer of cispatches from
the American Consul at Havana to the gov
ernment, in reference to the expedition of an
army of occupation by the Spanish authorities,
arrived here and had two protracted inter
view with the Secretary of State in the course
of the same day. Yesterday the information
bronght by him was the subject of consulta
tion between the President and Mr. Seward.
It is presumed that a vigorous remonstrance
will be at once lodged with the Spanish min
ister. Were It not for onr internal troubles,
the filibustering presumptions of Her Catho
lic Majesty’s government, would doubtlessly
be counteracted by the Federal power in the
most,cnergetic manner. But in its present
paralysis, its intervention will hardly go be
yond an exchange of diplomatic notes. Some
curiosity is manifested here as to the recep
tion of the St. Domingo Intelligence at Mont
gomery. Some Southrons here pretend to
believe that Jefferson Davis will immediately
declare war against Spain. But I think bo
will have fighting enough to do at home be
fore long and conclude let outside quarreling
alone for the present.
The scene at the 'White House between the
President and the California place-hunters, cn
Saturday morning, furnished considerable oc
cupation to tha tongues and pens of newsmong
ers. As its details have doubtlessly reached
yon ere telegraph. It will suffice to say,
that the prompt and signal manner jn which
the President rebuked what he considered of
fensive and disrespectful to his friend, the Rep
resentative of the State of Oregon, was Bp-
proved by the p rotes tan ts against the interfe
rence of Senator Baker with California appoint
ments, themselves. None of them were aware
ofthe character of what Mr. Slmonton intended
to say, and all were greatly surprised by the
bitter personal denunciatory tone of his re-
niarks. The statement that the demonstra
tion would seriously and lastingly affect the
Republican prospects in the Golden State, is
entirely unfounded. A compromise was ef
fected that proved satisfactory to all parties,
and the best feeling prevails once more all
around.
Mr. William Howard Russell, ths special
envoy of the London Times, has been sojour
neying here for nearly a week. He received
marked distinction at the hands of tie Presi-
dent, the members of tie Cabinet, mjd politi
cal eminences generally. He was introduce d
to Mr, Lincoln by Mr. Seward, and dined in
the White House on Saturday. He ias since
expressed himself very much struck with the
frankness, good nature and sagacity of the
President, and confident of tie success of his
Administration.
The secession press has teemed with wieed
t. D !?° £B of Timc3 ? special since his ani-
Jf J® **• ecfcatry. But, their hopes to affect
his judgment by flattery will turn out grievous
delusions. Mr. Ruasell, like every other intel
ligent and cultivated European, considers sU-
an abomination, and is altogether un
likely to say aught in opposition or justifies
tion of the rebellion that alms solely at extea
alon and perpetuation of that monstrosity.
His observing and penetrating mind will not
fcU to perceive the hollowness of the secession
cause, the folly and criminality of its leaders
and the hugeness of the deception practiced
by them upon the people of the South, and
with the independence of opinion that char
ged his whole journalistic career, he will
hold up that greatest sham and chest of the
age—the Cotton Confederacy—to the scorn
•ad contempt of the Old World.

self meanwhile by writing in, tie office of the*
County Clerk. In ,1807 .he-was.* admitted to"
the bar and commenced the practice of his
profession in the town of T.ebaeoii, near .his
father’s farm. In 1812 he was elected to Con
gress in the Lebanon district,. (which then in
cluded Cincinnati), as a supporter of President
Madison’s war policy. In 1814.be was re elec
ted without opposition, receiving every vote
cast in the district In the following dear ie
was tendered by hia party, which was fhori in
power, a seat in the United-States Senate,
which he declined. In 1817 the Legislature of
Ohio unanimously elected him a Judge of the
Supreme Court of the State—a position which
he held until 1832, when President Monroe ap
pointed him Commissioner of.tbel General, -
Land Office, In the following year he was ap
pointed Postmaster - General The vigor and
efficiency which he infused into this'depart
ment of the public service, then in a terribly/
disordered condition, rendered; him .one
of tbe most popular : men in the • nation."
So great was the public applause for hia
conduct of the postal system, and so conspic
uous were his services, that Congress raised
the salary or the office from ; $4,000 to $6,000
per snnum. In 1829, President .Jackson ten
dered him successively the Departments of
war and the navy. The President then ten
dered Mm a seat one the Supreme bench,'
which he assumed in January 1830, and which
he has filled uninterruptedly till the present
time. Judge McLean was three times promi
nently brought forward for the Presidency by
the free-soil and Republican parties—first at
the Bnflalo Convention in 1848, next at the
Philadelphia Convention of 1856, and again at
the Chicago Convention of 1860. In the Phil
adelphia, Convention he received 146 votes
against 359 for Col Fremont.
Judge .McLean’s .Circuit was the largest and
its duties by far the most laborious in the
present organization of the Supreme court,
including the States of Ohio, Michican, Indi
ana, and Illinois. One session was held annu
ally in Chicago, and his frequent presence here
gave him a huge acquaintance among our
citizens, by whom he was univerally loved and
respected. ,
Among lawyers, Judge McLean had a repu
tation which will be enduring. He was not eo
much distinguished for profundity and copi
ousness of legal knowledge as for that strong
moral grasp and acute sense which seized upon
and brought to light the essential equities ■of
the cases which came before him. Hundreds
of men belonging to the profession, in less
conspicuous positions, were his superiors In
the technicalities of the books and the ancient
absurdities of the Practice; but perhaps no
man who ever filled a place on an American
Bench ever hod, in a more notable degree
that keen insight into the sometimes subtle
distinctions between right and wrong, or ever
pursued the one and contemned * the other
with the zeal for which Jodge McLean was
distinguished. And herein was his hold upon
the popular heart. His thorough and resolute
honesty not alone the honesty which made
his daily walk and conversation an example
to all younger and less favored men, but his
intellectual honesty, which raised him above
the tricks of his trade and made the reasoning
and conscientious man always superior to the
quirks and quiddities of the Bar and the
Bench, was everywhere patent; and though
his decisions have always been carped at rs
lacking the mnstiness which one smells in
Blackstone and Coke, the people have never
been ready to believe that, if not always the
legitimate deductions from the law in the*
books and the Courts, they did not embody
the full measure of justice which mortals may
attain. The most serious blow ever given to
his popularity among lawyers of the highest
grade, and among the people at large, was in
flicted by the Judge himself in his decisions
touching the atrocious Fugitive Slave Law.
That other and higher authority will Judge
them to be erroneous, and that men will here*
after wonder how he, cast in so noble amould,
endowed as he was with hatred of
oppression, of legal shams and of
wrong, could have failed to see that the act'
which had his endorsement was a defiance of
all law, we devoutly believe. But that he sin
cerely entertained the opinions .on that sub
ject which he has left on record, no man will
ever have room Jo doubt His subsequent
thorough and overwhelming refutation pf the
monstrous doctrine avowed by the majority |
of the Judges of the Supreme Court in the
case of Dred Scott—a refutation which can
never be successfully assailed—did much tow
ard restoring him to his old place in the affec
tions of the people"; ghd perhaps nothing but
his advanced age prevented them ftopi calling
him in 1856 and again In 1860, totske the
highest place intheirgift. •

[Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati
Washington, April 8,
THE NEW XOAX’,
Secretary Chase has to-day accepted $3,090 -
000 of the bids for the loan at 04. He accepts
none under that rate. The bidders are per
fectly will mg to take all the remainder at 94,
and in most instances are anxious to get it at
that rate- It does not appear that the Secre
tary has authority, however, to take the re
maining five millions in that manner, though
au express provision is made for the issue of
Treasury Notes at six per cent. This he will
do.
These facta demonstrate how easily Wall
street is operated to reduce the credit of Gov
ernment. Finding that the capitalists of oth
er sections are willing to take the whole loan
at 6 per cent, they aD rush in for their share.
The Secretary received some thirty dispatches
to day from New York bankers* all of whom
are desirous to get the whole loan at the rate
named. Yesterday, or the day before, they en
deavored to make combination bids ■ at ninetv
and even lower, thus injuring the credit of the
Government and benefiting no one but them
selves. It is well known that immense specu
lations were made on the old loans, by the
New Yorkers.
AU the correspondence, calculations, &c..
connected with the letting were actually final
ly concluded and disposed bf yesterday, or
rather before daybreak this morning; It was
a feat never before accomplished. Not only
the Secretary and Assistant bat ail
the subordinates of the Department engaged
in the work, deserve great praise for the en
ergy and industry thus displayed. Some cf

To-day the Richmond W%, heretofore the

the concern was bought up by Secessionists,
and Ridgeway, the editor, one of the most

war will be immediately dispatched to blockade
the Southern ports.
WHAT THE ACTUAL PACTS ABHf
Certain it is, that' a company of sappers
and miners left this morning for New York
harbor, with sealed orders; that Gen. Bum
- ner has been for some days engaged in super*
intending active military preparations in and
about New York; that every available gov
ernment vessel has been ordered, within the
last twenty-four hours, to be in readiness for
immediate service: and that (as telegraphed
to you last.nigbt), the order to reinforce Fort
Pickens Is beueved in. official circles to be ex
ecuted'at this time.
AN UNQUESTIONABLE CHANGE.
; A great change has -taken place in the tone
of Administration circles, and the conviction
is gaining ground that the Spring election
■ being over, and the loan negotiated, a decisive
policy is now being adopted in reference to
the Southern question. A member of the

• Postmaster General Blair has received a let

ing the Administration to maintain the Union
at all hazards, and not desert the friends of the
Union in the South. It is said that the letter
was submitted to the Cabinet council, and will
be the occasion of some Executive action in
reference to the holding of the Texan forts. A
collision between Houston’s friends and the
secessionists is supposed here to be imminent.
THE CITY.
Post Office Hours.—' The Post-office will,
open to-day 7:30 a.m., Instead of 8 o’clock a.
; m.,until May Ist On and after May Ist the.
office will open in the morning at 7 o’clock.
Obitcabt.— Capt. A. Bigdow, for many
years identified "with the history and interests
of Chicago, died at his residence On -Arinyrifl
street, on Wednesday. He was a native of
Massachusetts, an early, resident of Chicago
and has filled high posts of honor in the Gov
ernment naval service. He was a member of
the Retiring Board, and for some time com
mander at at the' Brooklyn Navy yard. He
leaves a very handsome property in this city.
• Aetibtic.—A chap up State street has in
employ large and increasing classes in a pecu
liar branch of picture-making, from whom he
receives tuition in advance, and guarantees to
pay them one dollar apiece for all the pictures
they can make; From what we can learn, a
smart pnpil after a week’s training can turn
out about sixty pictures a week, or about
three times as many as the smartest pupil of
the crowd can sell in a year at the price named.
We greatly fear a glut in the picture market,
and a very pretty flock of gulls flying about,
in a day or two. We fear, but we don’t know
anything about it. Read the letter from a
Lady.
Chicago Highland Guard Ball.— By
reference to our advertising columns it will be
seen this company propose giving a military
ball this evening, which we hope will be well
attended and successful.’ l lt is a well-known
fact that; our military companies, at the pres
ent moment, are in a very poor condition in
deed. In fact, those companies which have
not already disbanded are on the very verge of
disorganization. This company furnishes an
exception to the general rule. The Highland
Guards have, from occasions like the present,
realized enough of the needful to keep them
“shoulder to shoulder” so far, till they now
number upwards of sixty men. They are de
servingofaome substantial support atthe hands
of our citizens. Tickets may be obtained from
any member of the company, or at the door
this (Friday) evening.
Kerosene Explosions,
The press have lor years past been uttering
warnings against the use of Burning Fluids
in families and have had frequent sad instances
of accidents wherewith to point their protests.
It seems high time to worn the public, .In
equally strong terms, against imitations of
Kerosene, which are, perhaps, even more dan
gerous than Burning Fluid, or Camphene.
We say “ imitations” because the genuine arti
pie of Downer and others is inezplosive. But
unscrupulous men attempt to make a com
pound which will be of like appearance and of
more profit though solfi at a less sum. A gen
tleman thoroughly posted In this matter thus
writes us:
This city is filled with this so-called Kero
sene, and many explosions and accidents will
happen;. Here is a receipt which I will furnish
gratis to any one wishing to know how to
makp the substitute for Kerosene which will
bum in gerosene lajaps; Take one gallon
Fuspl ojl, one gallon camphene, one gallon
cheap coq.l oi}, eba&e well" arid let tbenrstaud
forty-eight hours before using.
And this mixture is an explosive and highly
dangerous compound, exposing families who
use it to most serious and frightful accidents.
The Kerosene Oil trade has within a very
Tew years past grown to colossal dimensions,
end U still increasing, the article as an illumi
nator finding no competitor but gas in our
cities. A leading, and indeed thp piopeer Chi
cago house in this trade, C, L. IjTpble, No. 123
South Clark street, has its advertisement In
another column, to which we invite attention,
and with the utmost consistency with the.
above advice and caution against bogus Kero*
sene.
*Tbe Chicago Post Offices
Thera is only eighty-flye posts in &U, in the
Chicago Post Office and for each one of these
there.areat least ten applications, not oply
from the. city, but from the Northwest,
indeed, we may almost say, from the country
at large, since from eight States there are pe
titioners and petitions. This famishes a suffi
cient reason, without other explanation, why
the recipient oi so many letters and so many
appeals, cannot attempt the responses by let
ter, In many cases so urgently solicited and
desired. < ’
The pressure of the times upon business in
every department of trade, and upon the sev
eral professions, Alls the vsnira of this army of
applicants with very many excellent men,
worthy to fill any position of trust, and obvi
ously this makes the task of selection all the
more embarrassing. Certain it is that half g
scoreof institutions'like the Chicago Post
Office could be equipped from the present list
of applicants for places of prospective vacan
cies, in the._ office in this city.
The newly appointed Post Master will enter
upon the duties of ids office.abont the middle
of the present month, andmeanwhile finds the
place ha holds, though only prospective, no
sinecure from reasons and causes above set
forth. Neither of omnibuses before they get
ready to start, nor of post office administra
tions before they are under way, can it be said i
“AH Ml inside." and-probably the later !
comers will continue to crowd up, mid follow
ing the advice of the auctioneers, “if yon
Can’t crowd up, send your letters np.” stDl
the reasons are thus folly stated why inevita
ble disappointments are in store for so many
and the very large majority of the number. ’

The McQueen reached Milwaukee at day

o’clock p.m. yesterday. She has found only
one clear day since she left. Those on the

Capt R. C. Bristol, Mr. Whitfield i and her
crew.
Their report is altogether a favorable one.
There is muii snow on the ice, the latter

days of warm weather would, fromthcamonnt

ice is heavy, but has been driven to the west

it can be drivSa back. It was on their return

greatest difficulty was experienced.
The party hive had a most adventurous and
memorable trip, which doubtless all of them
were willing to- see ended last evening.

The fire ationt ten o’clock on Weddeaday
evening partially conanmed a house and barn
on North Halated-afreet, besween Indiana and
Fourth atreet, belonging to Thoa. Welch. The
lose is about S4OO.
A fire broke oat about four o’clock yester
day morning, bnmirg out lie lower apart
ments of a two-story brick building, occupied
by Messrs. Dole & King, of 104 Randolph
street, as a whip manufactory, and Situated in
the alley in the rear of the Garret Block, on
State street. The entire loss, including stock,
machinery, and other fixtures, is about $5,000,
which is partially covered hy ah insurance of
$3,500 in the Etna and Fhcenix Companies.
Mr. Dole was sleeping in the building at the
time, and narrowly escaped with his life. The
origin of the lire is unknown.
A Naubow Escape. —in. yesterday’s Police
Court a young girl fifteen years of age, named
Kate Little, was brought np under, circum
stances that awakened great interest'ln her
Base, which copveys a warning.the young and
inexperienced should profit hy. The girl, who
is of very pleasing appearance, was.taken ont
of a house of prostitution on Wednesday
night by officer Nelson and conveyed to the
Armory. Justice Davis questioned her rela
tive to her history. She said that her name
was Kate Little. She got aboard the care on
the Michigan Southern road Wednesday, at
field Pfater, with the intention of going tp
White Pigeon. In tire care she was accpsted
hy a apecions villain, who, by flattering prom
ises, prevailed upon her to come to Chicago,
Here ahe waa placed in a notorious establish- ■
ment, kept by one of the most noted of her
wretched class of females In this city. The
latter, however, magnanimously refused to
become a party to the poor girl’s betrayal, and
lodged information with the police without
delay, and fl) e PF°lppt action of officer Nel
aon rescued the ypnng girl from a life of mis
ery and dishonor, it is to be hoped. The
Court, after hearing the surroundings of the
case, gave the girl a severe reprimand for her
folly and discharged her, upon her promise to
do better and return home.
