His Excellency in reply, said, first, he had -no hesitation in statng that icised, applauded or condemned an hour or two before the great statesmen of the country have received the observations, the castigation, or the intelligence they contain. One would think, that composi tors would be as sick of reading as a gro cer's boy is of treacle ; but that it is not the case is proved by the fact that they not only willingly pay for their newspapers, but often indemnify one of their commu- ed to entertain terv serious doubts. But admit that his intentions were good ; ad mil that his object was not to advance a favor, ile, but to relieve the pressure on the money maiket! What a commentary does it not af ford upon the capacity for good of that financial contrivance, one of the fundamental laws of whose constitution it is found nece-.try to vio late, in order that il may not produce a crisis in lhe money market ! What a miserable, hundinr cheat is the whole afiair, from begin ning to end ! We stated, yesterday, that the Sub treasury nver could act with fleet in limes of peace, and when there is no national debt. On such occasions, when the duos are all paid in specie, that specie goes into the Treasury, and there is no means of getting il out. There are not, then, any outstanding antes lo redeem there is, therefore, no excuse- for hiding a loan under the mask of a purchase of Treasury note. The specie goes into the vaults, and there it must stay, accumulating every day, to the dam age of the business oftbe country. The nature of this Job is already seen from the article in the Courier, and it appears to have been a job of the dirtiest description.

The apprentices and inferior workmen cannot Secretary himself choose to take a hand, so much the Ix-iter for all concerned. But this is not ail. While prices are lower, from the pres. sure in the money market, those who are in the secret can buy up any quantity of goods, A.B., Immii" a good friend of lhe adminlstra-' liopnd having fueiliiir Cr using ready cash adrantageotisly h:ains a loan of a million r half a million from the Tiiury. secured by Treasury notei at par, which 'bear C per cent interr si. k . . . , , .

Look, too. at lhe corrupting influence upon the community, and lhe temptation in w hich the Secretary himself is placed, by reason of such a discretionary power. We certainly neither mean to charge nor to insinuate corruption on lhe part of Mr. Walker in this transaction r We are adrerting solely to the tendencies of all such discretionary roomed power. What a field for speculation would he open ed to an unscrupulous man in charge of the De narlmeni first by pinching as much as possi ble the money market, by permitting coin to accumulate in the bub. Treasury, and to that end postponing all Payments on Government accounts, while husbanding all the receipts and then giving due notice beforehand to coitfi. deniial friends that at such a date he would lend them large sums of the public monies enabling them to buy, under the high pressure, all sorts of merchandize which the very fact of such a loan being atterwards made to the great 1 relief of the money market, would cause instant. Hy to rise in price. How might an unscrupu lous Secretary, by going snacks in such opera tions, feather its nest, and while effecting to act for the .'-1 i c welfare, and the mitigation of com men i-i i distress be coining millions for his own private purse and those of bis trusted friends. Other modes might be pointed out in which this discretionary power could le used most corruptly ; but we have said enough on this head. REMINISCENCE OF THE FIRST CON GUESS IN PHILADELPHIA.

On Thursday of last week, during the heavy storm of wind and rain, while the extensive collection of wild boasts in the menagerie of Messrs. Raymond & Waring were in the village of Nor-.valk, a feature was introduced in the exhi bitlon not previously announced in the hills. Every honest man in this country must pro test against the conversion of the United States treasury into a broker's shop, and the Govern ment Itself into an enormous stock jobbing ma chine. If some poor deputy sub-treasurer had violated the law so palpably as Mr. Walker has done, he would have been prosecuted for felo. ny, and sentenced to the penitentiary upon due conviction. We hope some grand jury will present this ofTenee, and that the secretary will be indicted under his own law. From the N. Y. Courier and Enquirer. The Sub-Treasury Law.
