He bae occupied the petition of Commiaeioner of Patente, the dntiee of which he bae (Jiecharged most aceeptabljr. Mr. Holt ia an able and practical man, and poeaeeaea the induetry and butineea quaiifleatione to discharge the laborionn and rraponeiSle dotie* of the Poatofflce Department. He ie a Kentuckian, and hia aym pathiea will be with the intereate of the great and rapidly growing Weat. The admmiatrative departments ol the Govern men t abould be filled with practical, boaloeea men—not mere political Aapiranta, whoee judgment may be warped or influenced in the dlecberge of their dutiee by the prompting* of personal ambition, rather than an Itnbinied regird for the public iotereeta We have not a doubt but Mr. Holt will prove an efficient *aJ faithful officer and Justify the confidence of the President in his ability and qualifications for the poaition. Mquwr l,«w W e publish thia morning the law M to regulate and license the sale of spirltoua, vinous, malt and other intoxicating liquors, to prohibit the adulteration of liquors, to repeal all former law* contravening the provisions of thia act,and pre* acribing penalties for violation* thereof.” The Hag Stub Trenawvy Nyetem. There is no doubt but the Legislature has the right to provide that taxes may be paid in shinplasters, potatoes or wooden nutmegs, but it haa not the power to fix an arbitrary value upon those articles and compel the creditors of the State to receive them at such valuation in discharge of their Haims. The new Treasury law forces the public creditor to receive paper currency, no matter how much it may ha depreciated, in the order in which it is received in the Treasury, or else go without payment, and the Treasurer, if the crabez/lcincTit bill had become a law, would have been guilty of felony if he should pay a warrant upon the Treasury otherwise. A debtor can not discharge an indebtedness only by the tender of gold and silver, If it is demanded, yet our Legistors attempted to c >mpel the creditors of the State to re reive bank n tes, no matter what may be their v line. The Jo'irnal savs the law provides that the Treasurer...hall only receive the notes of specie paying banks. True. But then he lias to lock them up iii the Treasury, and keep them until drawn out upon warrants. It has occurred quite frequently that banks arc specie paying one day, but the next they repudiate. The law says the Treasurer shall rrrrinr the notes of specie paying banks, but it does not direct him to dinbursr the notes of specie paying banks Whatever comes in must be paid out in the order it ia received, specie paying or no specie paying. To be sure it provided that if doubts are entertained by the Treasurer, it becomes his duty to return the notes of such institution for redemption, or take security therefore, but if tire bank declines paying specie, it will probably decline giving security yet the creditors of the State are compelled to take there in tho order in winch they are received into the Treasury. Such is the newly inaugurated Treasury system. But it is charged that the cause of the deficiencies in the Treasury, is in depositing or loaning the State revenues to banks. If so, why legalize what has been a source of trouble and loss? The Journal advocates the loan of all the surplus revenues to the banks of the State, without compensation, ami at the risk of tho State. If it is wrong for an officer to make such investment without, the sanction of law, we do not see how it changes the character of the act by doing it under the cover of law. But such ia tho logic of those who favor the new Treasury schemes. If wo are to have a State Treasury for the deposit and safe keeping of the public funds, and embezzlement laws as safe guards, the State should collect and disburse its revenues in coin alone. Tho system will then be simple and efficient and nothing left discretionary with the financial officer, as to the chsracter of the funds received, kept and paid out. The public funds will tie then kept in money—not in evidences of debt depending in value upon public confidence, and the integrity of a multitude of bank officers. A sub Treasury would be one in fact, not in mere name—one based upon cash, not rags. Any plan short of this will subject the public funds to peculations snd speculations No system short ofit but what can bo taken advantage of by a designing or dishonest officer. It is tho only plan to slop treasury stcaHnp. ITT The l^ogansport Pharot contains an ill natured attack upon Mr. Dunham, in reference to the pnblie printing. The Hecretary of State lias no control in the matter, no printing oatronage to dispense, and has only performed such duties as the law directs. Neither has he sought or desired to be placed in any other position as rcgard s the publie printing. Mr. Dunham has been named, as has many other Democrats in the State, in connection with 4 he next Democratic nomination for Governor, bat he has not, as the Pbaron charges, even intimated that he wished the influence of the Sentinel to aid in securing it to him, nor should we voluntarily, or otherwise, manifest that partiality for any candidate for the nomination. No one should desire to be made a candidate for that position unless he could have the cheerful support of his political friends, and we are sore the Governorship is not so coveted an office ss to induce any man to force a party nomination. Its honor consists as much in its being a manifestation of party confidence as any which the position itself confers. Wfistilngton ftemu. The special dispatches to the Cincinnati Gexfttf of yesterday, say : The present idea of the President is to conrene Congress on the first Monday in November, abont a month before the regular session, which would allow time to provide for deficieneiee and for the first and second quarters of the new fiscal year, which are most urgent, without involving tho disturbing influence of a formal extra session. The mail lettings in Georgia are to be made soon, and the Department will probably let Toomb’s constituent# see what they have gained lay his course. The Supreme Court will amount on Saturday, having heard argued less than one-third of the causes on thsealender. Unless thsjndtres are relieved of circuit duty, business must fall largely in arrears every year henceforward. Sickles' trlsl will not commence before next week. The feeling here has much subsided. The proceedings bsfure the Grand Jury will be voluntarily erpurte. The petit patmel is composed of reepeetable and fair men. Sieklee* true condition may be beet appreciated by the fact that to escape conviction of murder it is indispensable for him to establish his wife's dishonor, and to brand the brow of his child with the shame.

The ■oacrnleat lastltatlaaa. An act was passed at the recent session ot the Legislature re-organizing the government of the charitable inaUtationa dependent upon the patronage of the State. Aa the people of the State are interested in these institutions, we poblioh the law providing for their future administration. Under the emergency ciattae the law went into effect upon its passage. The Legislature having failed to elect the President, Trustees and Commissioners provided by the act, whose official term commences on the second day of April next, it becomes the duty of the Governor to make the appointments. The design of the law ia to make more efficient and economical the managements of these institutions, a result which w# hope the change may accomplish. 1 be government of the institutions should be divested of partisan influences aod cooaideratioDa as far as possible, for they are dependent upon ibe sympathies and support of the people of the State general ly, without reference to party affiliations or aesoeiations. A Bill tn provide for the election of Trutteet and Corrmiooionert for the Benevolent Institutk>n$ of the Stele, andprtecribing tome of the dutiee of each officer*. dec. 1. Be it enacted by the General Attembly oj the Stale of Indiana, That, at its present session, there shall be elected two Trustees each, for the Asylum of the Blind, and the Institution for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb, and two Commissioners for the Hospital for the Insane, one of whom, for each institution, shall serve for two years, and one for four years, to be determined by lot; and that at each regular bienniel session of the Legislature hereafter, there shall be elected one Trustee each for the Institution for the Education of the Deaf aod Dumb, and for the Asylum for theBliud,and cue Commissioner for the Hospital for the Insane. S*c. 2. There shall also be a President elected at the present s< ssion of the General Assembly, who shall hold his office for four years, and who shall be the President of the several Boards of Trustees and Commissioners as herein provided, that is, the Trustees for the Institution for the Education of tho Deaf and Dumb, and the President shall compose the Board of Trustees for the government of the Institution for the Deaf and Dumb; and the Trustees for the Asylum for the Blind, with said President, shall constitute the Board for the government of said Asylum; and the two Commissioners, with said President, shall have the government of the Hospital for the Insane. Sec. 3. The President, Trustees, and Commissioners, for whose election provision is herein made, ehaM hold their several offices until their successors shall be elected and qualified; but in case of the death, resignation, or other inability of the President, or nny one of said Trustees or Commissioners to serve, then, and in that case, the President, or in case of his death, resignation or other inability, the Governor shall convene the said several Boards herein provided for the Benevolent Institutions; and the said several Boards, acting as one Board, shall proceed to elect a President, Trustee, or Commissioner to serve during the unexpired term of the officer so dying, resigning or otherwise incapable of discharging the duties of said office. Skc 4. It shall bo the duty of the two Houses of the General Assembly, at its present session, and at each succeeding regular session thereof, ns herein provided, to proceed, by concurrent vote, to elect the officers herein named, and in case the two Houses, after ten times voting for the purpose, fail to concur or agree in giving to the same persons a majority of the votes cast in each House, then the person or persons receiving tho majority of the votes cast by both flonses, shall bn declared elected. tfitc. 5. The persons to he elected by the provisions of this act shall enter upon and be deemed to be in office from the 2d day of April next ensuing after such election. S'ko. fi. It shall be the duty of the Board of Trustees and Commissioners, to be appointed under and by virtue of this act, to have and take charge of the Institutions and Hospital for which they are elected, according to the provisions of law that now is or may be hereafter in force, to appoint the .Superintendents, subordinate officers, physicians, teachers, matrons, and their several assistants, and, for just cause, to remove any or all such subordinates; to enact by-laws for the government of the several Institutions, and to do any and all other thiags that may he necessary to carry out the objects for which said Institutions are established. Skc. 7. Tlie Superintendents of the Institutions and Hospital shall have the right to nominate all subordinate officers and employees, and shall have power, for just cause, to suspend any or all such subordinate officers or employees until the meeting of the Board. Sec. 8. All expenditures by the several Institutions shall be under the direction and control of the Board of Trustees or Commissioners, as heroin provided, and the moneys to be drawn from the treasury, for the support and maintenance of said Institutions, shall only be so drawn by direction of the Board of Trustees, and the order of such Board shall only be paid when conntersigncd by the President of such Board; and all accounts shall receive the signature of the Superintendent of the Institution or Hospital for whoso use they have been made, before the Board for such Institution shall pass upon or order it* payment. Sxc. 9. All acts, and parts of acts, inconsistent with the provisions of this act rre hereby repealed. 8rc. 10. Whereas it is essential that an election for the officers herein named shall take place at the present session of the Legislature, an emergency Is therefor declared to exist, requiring this act to be in force from and after its passage, and the same shall be in force from and after its passage. slavery i n New Mexico. The St. Louis Republican, in noticing th« act which has lately passed the New Mexico Legislature, protecting slave property in that Territory, says: It la not proVaMc, however, that any l-enefit will bade rlve.t from It save to the few person* in the Territories— mostly temporary residents going in frtm the United States—who may nse Haves as domestic servants. From the above it would appear that there is little danger of slavery being a permanent institution in New Mexico. The law is to accomodate temporary residents rather than the permanent population. Would it not be well for those Southern men who are asking that Congress shall have a supervision over the acts of Territorial Legislatures to remember that they could never have got thia law if their theory was acted upon? It would be difficult if not impossible, to get a bill through Congress approving of the above act. Their interests as well as those of the North, lie in banishing the subject entirely from Congress —Cinmnaft Enquirer. Kanene Co netltuttonal Convention. At the late session of the Kansas Legislature, a bill tossed the House providing for bolding a convention to frame a constitution, to be submitted to the people for their approval. That bill was defeated in the Council by one or two votes. Subsequently, within a day or two of the close of tbesession, a bill for a similar purpose, known as the Chase bill, from the fact that it was from the pen of the present Governor of Ohio, was introduced into toe Conneil, and passed by that body in its la«t moments. Indeed, it was the last thing acted on by it. The House, supposing the Council did not intend to send the bill down, adjourned eine die The Speaker had no sooner pronounced the adjournment, and before the membera had left the hall, than the officer of the Coondl brought in the bill. The Speaker of the House called the members to order, who reconsidered the vote of adjournment, and passed the bill, had it enrolled and sent to the Governor for his signature. The Governor, however, so soon as he heard of , , d" adjournment of the House, (ten o Hock at night) shut up his ofifice and went to bed So no Executive action whatever was had on the bill, and it failed to become a law Kan ms will not, therefore, apply for admission prevl. ous to the session of l^fio-i—the session sneceding the Presidential election.—Cforirnwri JCt1%f/9§vwnfw * DThe West Baton Rouge Sugar Planter, of the 96th alt., mjs: We hear many complaints from our planters in relation to the condition of their seed cane.

The House of Rspussnf tiven in Congress is doing one good thing. It Is opening to tbapublic eye the abases which have grown np under our Government through a long coarse of yean, aod especially ia the matter of ecu tracts for public work. How the Navy Yard contracts are made baa been already explained. Since then the public printing bae been overhauled, and the same huckstering system teems to have prevailed in that department. The time covered by the investigation is the period from December, 1855, to December, 1857, during the time that Mr. Seaman held the situation of Superintendent of the Pabiic Printing. According to the testimony of the committee, the books of the Superintendent were kept in a loose and negligent manner, so that tbs condition of the accounts could not be ascertained with proper correctness. The amount of paper delivered to the Public Printer, Mr. Wendell, could not be aecertai-ied, because the deliveries were not in all cases covered by an official receipt. A laborer in Mr. Wendell’s office sppean to have bad charge of the delivery of the paper. Accounts kept with the binders for waste paper, purporting to have been closed, have not been so in reality, snd the Superintendent, long after the date of closing, bad tried to collect the amounts dee. Payments were made also to binders for volumes which were not credited, and volumes ordered have not been bound, and in some cases not even printed. But the contracts for engraving, lithography and paper, are the most remarkable of the disclosures. Tbe testimony here shows a combination existing far the purpose of compelling contractors to pay a commission for receiving the jobs. Mr. Beaman had recommended for employment P. 3. Duval tc Co., John Cassin, Van Ingan A Snyder and Sinclair & Co., of Philadelphia; A. Hoen A Co., of Baltimore, and Sarony, Major and Knapp, of New York. All these parties had paid commissions to agents to procure employment, under the impression that it waa necessary. Payment waa made in different ways—in some instances in the way of loans; in other cases a per centage was paid to agents for attending to the receipt and delivery of the work at Washington, the necessity for which services existed more in imagination than in reality. In other cases, the per centage was paid directly to the Superintendent. Of course, the contractors made a provision in their bids for tbe allowances made to the agents, and this increase sometimes amounted to fifty per cent, which the public had to pay over the fair price to the cormorants in office. Much of the work is now done under the present Superintendent at twenty-five per cent, less cost. Charts, which under Mr. Seamen cost !0167 50 each, now cost only $49 71. The per centage paid to agents for contracts was from five to twenty-five per cent No person could procure the government work until he had first seen Mr. Seamen's agents. In addition to the loans received by the Superintendent, which have never been returned, he made a contract with one party for $7,000 a year salary, on condition that the party referred to should have the contract for supplying all the paper. This agreement respecting the $7,000 salary waa not complied with, as the senior partner of the house refused to execute it, and so lost any furthet contracts. In another case one cen per pound was deducted from the cost of paper, to pay one of the special agents for the paper eon tracts. Arrangement was also made by which Mr. Wendell, the public printer, acted as agent to attend to duties which belonged to tbe Superintendent’s place. Buttheagentinstead pocketed the earnings and employed a person at a low salary to perform the duty. Mr. Seaman received from the engravers, lithographers and paper contractors, in the way of loans chiefly, the gross sum of $30,000. Mr. Wendell received from the paper contractors about $12,000, from engravers and lithographers, about $27,000, making the gross sum paid to him, as far as ascertained, about $30,000. These revelations show the v irious modes in which the public are plundered by unprincipled men who get into oositions of prominence and supposed responsibility. There is no mode ot reaching the delinquents that we know of, except their prompt removal from office when discovered. President Buchanan, at an early period in assuming the duties of his station, placed this superintendency under the charge of a man of integrity and competency, who has ever since been at war with the spoilers, and has been the frequent subject of their assaults through letter- • riters of easy conscience. The facts, as they are exposed, will induce Congress to adopt additional restrictions for the prevention of such corrupt collusions against the public interests, and place the contract service in the hands of men of greater responsibility,and make the contracts themselves more open to publicity and examination in all their transactions.—Philadelphia Ledger.
