among the converis
to the theory of unlimited, greenbacks, a few month?) ago, was Richard Schell, of New York City. Considerable light is thrown upon the cause of bis conversion in the following editorial item taken from the New York World.
We are sincerely *orry to see Uncle Dick Schell in the gazette. But there he is, with bis scheiule of assets and liabilities, and his petition in bankruptcy showing what the inflation which he wished to prescribe for the
milMU HWRWIUJ WVM
country has done for him. TVoni tbo perusai of the colums in which Uncle Dick's liabilities are recited wo nan see that he is perfectly sincere in his inflation ideas. The way he inflated his obligations was tremendous. When Goldsmith died, and his accounts were overhauled, it was found that he owed £2,000, on which Dr. Johnson exclaimed, "was ever poet so trusted before?" And when we glance along down Uncle Dick's debt column, wo And outselves in a similar difficulty —How a philosophical statesman like Uncle Dick could ever iiavo got trusted so much His lino of assets shows why he preached up expansion and unlimited greenbacks so eloquently in Congress and at tlio Cooper Institute soft-money meeting, lie want-od things in general inflated
and
expanded
until all wild-cat securities, of which his list of assets shows he had it considerable assortment,wero at par.Miich he could sell out and retire into high Statesmanship with something to fall back on when ho had settled all the weightier problems ol' Government,and to keep him virtuous and incorruptible in the interval. But the plan wouldn't work, and we are seriously ai'raid that Uncle Dick's financial catastrophe will impair his credit a3 a financial philosopher and forne the soft-money association, of which we hearlittlo now-a-days, but of which he used to be a shining light, to pick up another champion. Our own no tion is that this would be a good time for him to take a
new
dpparture, ana
build up not only his fortune, but his financial principles on a solid tradedollar and double^eagle founriatiou. Neither fortunes or principals amount to anything unless jey are thus solidly based. They aro like the Hindoo notion of the foundation of the world, presenting a visible basis of rocks, turtles and elephants, but with only fog and vacancy and the abyss under it all. Let Uncle Dick lay it to heart.

Washington, Jan. 13. -The committee reassembled at 7 o'clock, when the chairman slated that the first business in order .was tire selection of a pl«ce for holding the* na* tioual convention, but as there \va3 a misunderstanding concerning the hour ol the meeting, the committee took up the report of the sub committee on a call of the convention aud after slight amendments, adopted.
The committee then agreed to vote by ballot instead of viva voice for the selection of a place of holding the convention with the following result* Cincinnati 10, Philadelphia 15, Chicago 7, aud Wheeling I. Another ballot was takeii resulting in Cincinnati 17, Philadelphia 14, Chicago II.
Third ballot: Cincinnati 19, Philadelphia 14, Chicago 0. Fourth ballot: Cincinnati, 19 Pbllrdelphia, 12 Chicago, 12. Fifth ballot. Cincinnati, IS Chicago, 16 Philadelphia, 10 Cleveland 1,
Kimball of Pennsylvania, said he had advocated the holding ol the convention at Philabel ibia, not that the people there had any claim, but every body was coming to Philadelphia this centennial year, and therefore it was'proper that the convention should be invited to hold its eessionin that city to-day. Two v'otosoniy were required for the selection Cincinnati. For his own psrt he. did not think ft preper that he should stand here to delay selection by further contest, and therefore he should vote for Cincinnati, that city having generally received the largest number of votes.
Sixth ballot: Cincinnati, 22: Chicago, 18 Philadelphia, 4Seventh ballot: Cincinnati, 21 Chicago, 18 Philadelphia, 4.
Eighth bftllot* Cincinnati, 19 Chicago, 19 Philadelphia, 4 Cleveland,
'Ninth ballot was as follows. Whole number of votes cast, 43 necessary to choice, 22: Cincinnati, 22 Chicago, 18 Philadelphia 3.
The chair having announced that Cincinnati was chosen as the place for the convention, on motion of Scammon, of Chicago, the selection was made unanimous. On motion of Van Horn, of Missouri, Wednesday, the 14th day of June, was designated as the time of meeting. It was resolved that when this committee adjourned it adjourned to meet at Cincinnati, on Tuesday, the 13th of June. Governor Morgan expressed his gratitude that the business of the committee had been harmoniously transacted, and on motion, tlio committee adjourned.

The next Union Repullican National Convention for the nomination of candidates for President aud Vice President of the United Stateei will be held in the city of Cincinnat, Wednesday, the 14th day of June, at 12 o'clock, noon, and will consist of delegates from each State, equal to twice the number of its Senators and Representatives in Congress, and of two delegates from each organized territory and the District of Columbia.

SK9STOX.
Washington, Jan. 13.
At the conclusion of Mr Davis' sp ooli, Mr. Merriman ^inquired if there wore no notes or explanations of theso discrepancies.
Mr. Davis replied—In souio cases thero were expianattons, but ba had been unable to tind any system of corroot bookkeeping. Th°y could cdango the amount after they had been reported to Congress,
Mr. Boutwell said there was nothing new in the statement of t) honorable gentleman. As to the figures presented and drawn, from the books ot' the Trtamry Department,hc(Boutweil)h«d no observation to make, tl at he would venture to aay, however, that an accurate knowledge of 'Ivi business of the Treasury Department wou dissipate all difficulties under which tho honorable Senator from Wo.4 Virginia now* labored, and it occurred to him (Boutwoll) that tho Senator from West Virginia in dealing wiih the great public question as he thought he was, might have called upon the present Secretary of the Treasury, and unfolded to liiin the diUQ'tculxies. of whioh he complained, and asked him whether or uot they were capable ol fair solution. He (Boutwell) was quite sure that it was jn tjio power of the head of that department, and equally suro that it would have been his disposition to give to any member of the Senato an opportunity of understanding all difficulties to which tiie Hon. Senator Davis had referred. There was nothing which the Honorable Senator had presented, that went to show that the books of tho Treasury had been changed or tampered with by anybody. The statements presented to Congress or the country are prepared so that any person can examine the books and see that they concur.
Mr. Davis asked whether li3 understood Senator Boutwell to say that the figures of the official reports sent to Congress year after year, had not been changed,
Boutwell said that different statements Irofri the Treasury had not been changed. Some of these s'atements were prepared in tho oflace of tho Secretary of tho Treasury, and showed the business in control in his office. liesuming his argument, Boutwell said that when he took charge of the Treasury Department in 1809, one of the lirsi things he discovered was the iact that the books ot that department did not ropresont the actual amount of the public debt outstanding, and that this arose fiom a succession of events since the organization of tjho department. Boutwell then explained at length the manner of doing business in tlie department, and said that in 18G9 the books showed an apparent discrepancy of one hundred and sixteen millions ol dollars, when in truth there was no such discrepancy, He mentioned items which tended to show such discx-epancy, the debt of tho State assumed by the general Government, amounting §70,000,000,the Texas indemnity tund, etc. Again in 18Gl,a six per cent, loan was authorized by Congress which Mr. Chas^ the Secretary oj' the Treasury, was unable to negotiate at that rate of interest., and the consequence was that $50,000,000 worth of bonds were issued, on which seven per cent, was actually paid, and the amount received into the Treasury from them,no less than §50,000,000 up to 1809. The register of the Treasury was only required to keep the account of
public debt, as no account has been kept in the office of the Secretary, aud it was then ordered that an ac count should be kept in the latter office He argued that it was only by exploring and investigation, or rather by knowledge derived from.firaclicle experience,that one could understand the business of accounting. If certain bonds were presented to the register of tho Treasury today, for signature, he would sign hem, and immediately charge the public debt with *he par value of those bonds and if the register should then be called upon for a statement of the debt, it would appear greatei than it was really, to amount of bonds signed. He reviewed at length the manner of keeping accounts in tho register's office and said there would bo a difference in statements in the two offices but by the two statements the exact truth could be traced out. This system about which so much complaint was made was instituted in 1809 as a check upon the register's office. If the difference in these two accounts did not exist, collusion and fraud between different branches of tho Treasury department would be shown. An anilyses of the two statements would neyor fail to show that the facts on which -they were based were tho same. Tho financial report made to Congress in December, shows the financial condition ot tho country on the 30th of June preceding, and tho mqnthly statement shows tho financial condition on the 1st of July, while oftentimos there were transactions between the close of business on the 30th of June and the time of issuing the monthly statement on the 1st of July, which would goto show a difference in the two statements On the 30th of June when the' fiscal year closed, a statement was prepared showing the amount of money on hand of which the Secretary had official knowledge. The books were kept open, hewever, forty-five days after .June 30th, to get returns from all parts of the country, and as a consequence, at the end* of forty-five days tbe receipts were much larger than shown by the statement of June 30ib. This was the case particu larly in the Internal Revenue office. The Commissioner mado an oshibit of the amount ou hand at the close of business on June 30th, but tor days and weeks after that, receipts were credited which had been collected in various parts of the country prior to June-30th: -ru
Mr. Boutwell yielded to Mr. Edmunds, who moved that the Senate proceed to the consideration-of executive business.
Mr. Davis inquired if bis resolution would conae npas unfinished business at the next meeting of tbe Senate.^
The Chair replied in the affirmative. Tho Senate then went into executive session. *r
When the doors were reopened, Mr. Prelinghuysen called up the Senate bill to authorize George P. Marsh to accept a certain present fiom the Government of Switzerland, and a .certain present from the Government ol Italy. Passed. ,,

YEaTEUDAY AFTERNOON SESSION. Washington, Jan. 1.3 Th.o house then
resumed the
ligaion^of tne amnesty bill, and was of my knowledge, but they were of addressed by Blaine. He commen- such a number &hd of sneh
ced by disclaiming any intention to ter as to make lneral convey the idea in tbe decision of yes against the officers of thatnsmn terday. He said that from the tone Hill, still in his seat and ?n of the debate, one would-imagine that the Republican party as represented in congress was trying to add some other stigma to the name of Jeff. Davis. It ought therefore not to be unappropriated to recall tbe attention of the house to the precise question at is3i.ie. The gentleman from Pcnsylvania (Randall) bad introduced a special honor on Jefferson Davis, for what honor could be higher han the full panolied citizenship of the Unitid States Jefferson Davis had lost it by his ime, aud the gentleman from Pennsylvania propesed in hot haste, without debate and« without amendment, to drag every gentleman in the house to say aye or no, on the bill declaring Jefferson Davis to be entitled now, and henceforth, to all the rights of American citizenship. To that he (Blaine) and those with him, disssnted. They were not seeking to throw any other element of an inllamahle oharaoter Into the politics of the day. Whatever of that kind had come from this discussion, lay at the door of the gentleman from Pennsylvania, and of those who stood with him. He then passed on to discuss the question in regard to the treatment of Union prisoners in the South, and was to blame for breaking the exchange of prisoners, The speech of tbe gentleman from Ohio, Mr. Garfield, yesterday, had left him, literally, nothing to :ay, thesubjeot had been exhausted aud the argument was unreasonable, aud lie undertook to say that as yet, no gentleman on the other side had answered one fact which thegeutleipan from Ohio had alleged, and no gentleman could answer them. He [Biaine] should no:, therefore, try to answer that point. U'tifc there svas one allegation in history which ho felt it his duty, not merely as a member of the Republican party, but as a citizen of the American Union to resist, and that was the allegation made in regard to-the manner in which the Confederate prisoners had been treat* ed in the prisons of the Union. The gentleman from Georgia, [Hill,] had spoken this ssntcncg in his speech: "I have also proved that with all the horrors whioh you h&vo made such a noise about as occurring at Andersonville, greater horrors occurred in prisons where our troops were held.
I think that the gentleman from New York [Cox] somewhat fell into a little of the same tune." He goes on to say "And the atrocities of Audersouville do not begin to compare with the atrocities of Eimira. Camp Douglass and Fort Delaware, aud of all the atrocities,
br.
Mr. Hill: You are only quoting one sentence out of its connection. Mr. Blaine: I beg pardon I am speaking of it as it appeared in the Washington Chronicle and in the associated press reports. I do not pretend to be bond by version of it which muy appear hereafter in the Congressional record, because I observed that the gentleman from New York (Cox) spoke one speech and publisked another. I suppose the gentleman from Georgia will soon admit that he has a different rule today to keep himself in line with tho New York Domocrats, and keep himself iu proper position for a Democratic candidate as senator for Georgia, and it is very difficult thing to reconcile tne two [Laughter on the Repuplican eide.] The barn Burner Democrats in 1853 found it very hard to adhere to their anti-slavery principles in New York and still to support Pierce's adminis tration, and Mr, Greeley, with his innumerable power, which was cbarac teristic of him, said they had a hard row to straddle, and that they were like Militia generals on parade day ou Broadway, wno found it an al most impossible taxk to follow the music and keep clear of the omnibus [boisterous laughter all over the house] and that is the case with the gentleman from Georgia. He has been trying to keep step to the music of the union and to dodge his line exciting constituents iu Georgia! (Laughter.) I will read .another quotation from his speech. "Our prisoners suffered iu Federal hands, and wa know how, if wo chose to tell, how thousands of our poor fellows come home from Eimira Fort, Delaware, and othsr places, with their fingers off with their toe3 frozen off' with their .teeth fallen out." Was that in line of what I said, or was it a simple assertion from the gentleman irom Georgia.
Hili: I said that these were neces sary incidents to all prisons. Blame: Do I understand the ?cn tlernan now to back down from that assertion?
Hill. No. sir I saw with my owu eyes. Blaine: Tho gentlman- from El naira district yesterda^,( Waiker) and I honor him for it, was not held in leash by party fidelity and hy southern sympathy, but came like a man and vindicated his constituents There are on one sido of the boure two gentlemen who represent in part the. constituents that surround Camp Douglass. I reler to CaulSeld and Harrison, aud I ask those gentlemen to say whether, te their best knowledge and belief, there was any cruel treatment of prisoners at Chicago. I yield to tbem for that purpose.
Caulfield, riaing on the Democratic side of the house, said: The gentleman has seen fit to call on me for my testimony in regard to the treatment of prisoners at Camp Douglass. I do not wish him to suppose from my si lence that I fully acquiesce iu what he has said.
Blaine, interrupting:JTn what who has said the gentleman from Georgia or myself?
Caulfield: In what the gentleman from Maine has said. Blaine sneeringiy: Oh [Laughter.]
Caulfield: I rise to say that there were hardships in Camp Douglass which were experienced by prisoners from the south, but those hardships were incidental to the climate ana. to the emergency their imprisonment.
Hill without rising and in a low tone- That is right, in that I agree with you.
Caulfield: I do not, however, say that
there
inve3-
were certain instances' of
cruelty which occurred iu that camp

Mr. Blaine: That is no report of the speech at all. Iam quoting the gentleman's speech as he delivered it.

seat|
and in a low
r! ,ir "Sbt »nd I make none. Mr. Caulfield: I remember some instances myself. I happened to be one of the number appointed to amel--iorate the sufferings of the prisoners at Camp Douglass. They were brought there in the winter. I think the first batch was from Fort Donolsoti. The weather was cold, and it was impossible to make them perfectly comfortable, and as a matter of course there was a great deal of suffering among them, but I regarded that suffering as merely incidental to the.circumstances which surrounded them at the time. Every effort was madotn make them comfortable, both on the part of the Htate and on the part of the Government, but there were some cruelties committed there, to my knowledge. However, I do not think it would be fair to charge the Government with that. They were chargeable to the inhumanity of certain individuals in charge of them.
Mr. Hilh That is all that I meant. Mr. Blaine to Mr. Caulfield: WH1 you state whether the prisoners who came from Fort Douglass did not occupy and'share the same quarters and have exactly the same accommodations as the Illinois troops had had who Jefc Camp Douglas3, which was their camp, ana went to Fort Douglass, exchanging places with the prisoners.
Mr. Caulfield^My memory o* that point does not serve. Ms'. Blaiue, ironically—Oh! tke gentleman does not recollect that Camp Douglass wa9 made for Union sold'ers that it was tbo great recruiting camp of Northern Illinois.
Mr. CauHieid— Now that you bricg it. to my recollection, 1 think that fact was'so,
Mr Blaine, still more ironically— Oh my! what a recollection! [Laughter on the republican side.] This is equal to tbe recollection of the gentlefuan from Georgia, who did not recollect, the other day, whether he had ottered a- resolution which I read.
Mr. Caulfield, serenely: My dear sir, I want you to recollect that when I state what my recollections is about a certain point, I do not wish you to staud on this floor and question rgy veracity.
Mr. Blaine: I find it was a strange recollection I don't question the gentleman's veracity, at all,
Mr, Caulfield Then if it is apart of my recolletion, I "am responsible for it.

Mr. Caulfield: But, sir— Mr. Blaine: (Cowering him down) That is all I desire.
Caulfield—(Persistently) My dear sir you called me to the witness stand, and you can't discredit me becauee I don't discredit myee'lf. I have aright to answer your question fully, and I say that when you first spoke of the question as to whether atrocities had been committed in Camp Douglass, my attention was uot attracted to the time when these men were prisoners there, and was not drawn to the point as (o whether that camp was first filled by Federal soldiers or not, but now that the gentleman has drawn my attention to the fact, I will say that I think that I do. I may be permitted to add that the argument which he made agaiust my resolution ia about as strong as any of the arguments wbish the freutlemau has addressed before the House to-day or the day before.
Harrison also rose on the Democratic side of the ho»rs and said that he thought hisoolleague was wrong, and that Camp Douglass, the camp where prisoners were retained, was not the same as the Camp Douglass where the volunteers were. Many buildings had been erected for that emergency when the Ft. Danaldson prisoners were brought up. The weather had been exceedingly cold, and there was not a sufficiency of houses, but tho people of. Chicago came forward and attended to the
