In these doys of disheartening disclosures of official dishonesty, it is delightful to resd the scconnt which Parton gives (in the Afantic for Aarch) of Hamilton's infloxible integrity, sl thongh pressed by actual want, while adminis: tering the Treasury Department. At that time, —1791 t0 1704, —vhilo Lo was handling millions upon millions of tho public money, he was pinched severely in the cffort to live upon bis littlo salary. *“If yom can convenicntly lend me twenty dollars for a few days,” he wrote to & friend, in September, 1791, “ be go good s to send it by the beaver.” The friend sent a check for fifty dollars. And Talleyrend said, in 1794, after coming from Hamilton's house, I bave beheld one of the wonders of the world,—a man who has mado the fortuno of a nation laboring &l night to support & family.” - | Tha present chapter is entitled 1 * THE QUARREL OF JEFFEESON AND HAMILTOX," snd relatos the successivo steps of the divery- enco which, in tho ond, ¢arried thom so far | spark. Much of their estrangement was due, of | courso, to thoe infirmities of their temper and the collision of their ambitions ; but, bad thero | beon none of theao, their radical diferoncs of | opinions 2nd habits of thought would have prevented any permanent union. The mere difference of opinion between them was extreme. One day in April, 1991, when the Vice | President and the Cabinet dined fogether at Jeffer- | 800’ homse to talk over some public question, the conversation turned, as it often did iv those dayz, upon forms cf goverment, *Purge the Dritish Con< stitution of its_corruption,” said Mr. Adams, “and give to ita popular branch equality of representation, builds Crystal Palaces, snd_mago vatories like that of the Duke of Devonshire, can protect its own kind in the samo way. The and it would be the most perfect comstitution ever devised by the wit of man.” IHamilton waited a ‘moment, and then said : Parge it of its corruption, und give to its popular branch equality of representa” ! tonm, and it would become an impracticable Gov. ernment. As it stands at present, supposed dofects, it is tho most perfect Government : that ever existed.” What intelligent American citizen, | whose memory of public events ran back to 1765, and who had access to the pigeon-lioles of the State De- ! partment, could be expected to listen to such aii” gpia: 1on without something like indignation? Bat, in truth, when Hamilton pronounced the word | gerernment, he meant sometling radically different from Jeffefson's idea of government. What is gov- erument? Jefferson’s answer would have been: An sgency for the cxecation of the people’s will, Hamil- | ton must bave answered: A means of curbing and frustrating the people’s will. The British Govern- ment had proved itself practicadle, by being able, in the teeth of the people’s will, to slienaie and repel the | American Coloniea ; snd it had _sccomplished this by buing voters at the polls and voters in the House of Commons. Hence, ina Hamiltonian sense, it was a prcticable” Govérmment, Tliero were meinbers of Congress who had » pecuniars intercst in supporting Hamilton's financial *system.” This he regsrded as le- gitimate and desiralle ; while good republicans could only think of it with horror, se if jurymen should sit in jndgment on s causein which their fortuno was embarked. Ar. Perton takes great pains to show that Hemiltor. was a Monarchist. Jefferson asserted that he was such On his way to Philadelphis, Jofferson stopped, as usual, at Bount Vernon, when the President renewed the subject in conversation, and urged him to recon- sider hia intention to resign ; for he *thought it im- portant to preserve the check of his opinions in the Administration to keep {hings in the proper channel ud prevent them from going foo far.” The check! The check to what 7 The President said ho did not be- fieve there were ten men, worth consideration, in the country, who had 5o much as thought of transforming ile Republic into a monarchy. Mr. Jefferson replied that there was ‘“a numecrous fect who had monarchy in contemplation, of whom the Secretery of the Treasury was one.” Tho most intimate friend Hamilton ever kad was Gouver- peur Morris, wio pronounced his fuseral oration, This exquisite writer stated Hamilton's opinions, at much length, in 1811, in a letter fo Bobert \Walsh, of FPaiindelphia.” The following are come of Morris’ ex- Tressions : ** General Hamilton disliked the Constitu- tio, believing all republican gove-nment radically de- fectlve, . . . Hehated the republican government, . . . Hefrusted that, in the clanges and chances of Time, wo ehould ba invoived in Fome war, which might Ftrenigthen our Union and merve tho Executive, . . .

Lest any who baveresd thus far should deem tho idea of crecting structures of such immense size en- tirely impracticable, it _is perhaps well enough to re- ‘mind them that the only limitation in this direction is the amount of capital at command.

The simplest work, such as searching titles, work that only demands accuracy, and i usully dono by clerks, commands & price thit few men can afford to pay, whilo larger Trork involves fees that ave startling snd stupendoas.

Dr. Holland grows very vehement. He thinks the large fces leave nothing for adequate sala- ries. The salarisd servants of the community are wronged: There ought to bs some remedy for both cvils, Whera it is to be found we do not know. The phy- sician has some apology for getting high fees of thoss ibat can pay, becauss he is abiiged to do so much for the poor who cannot pay: but the lawyer, as a rul does not undertako a case Which promisas him 1o re muneration, Ho goes in for monoy ; and there ought to be some iaw which will enable the poor min-10 el Justico without financial ruin, Thero i, at least, no ood reason why on set of profeasional men should Balf starvo while znother gorges $taclf upon fees that bring wealth and Juxury. ~That fees are to0 lurge and salaries too small has become a popular conviction, which can only be removed by a reform in both Qirec, tions thst shall bring literary and professionsl men equivalent rewards, To describe Inwyers as gorging themeelves upon foes that ‘bring Wealth and luxury, 1 good writing, but not good fact. The average compensation of lawyers and physicians does not rige beyond that of writers.

There is no barinany profession to the scquisition of weelth ; it is not 80 much the roed 88 he wha works therein. The truth, which Dr. Holland seems to have over- looked, and which would have como to him if ho had widened his observation g0 as to include all ihe workers of socicty, is, that the ministry, journalism, literature, teaching. bave not bean sought-ns avenues to wealth.

Lossing has an illustrated sketch o */ PROFESSOR MORSE AND THE TELEGRAPII,” {rom which we quote some anecdotes of a brill- iant chapter in Morse’s career, which Lis won- derful invention has obscured. 1f Le had nover conneeted his name with the msgnetic telegraph Lie would hzve been remembered_as one of the prestest of American painters. From his boy- ood his great ambition wzs to be an artist. In pursuanco of his plans, ‘he went to Europe to visit Benjamin West, then enjoying the noon- tide glory of hisreputation: Moree mado 5_carefully-finished drawlng from a small castlof the Farnose Hercules, 58 » teat of Lis fit- nem fora placess » student in the Royal Academy, With this he went to West, who examined the drawing carefully, and handed it back saying, * Very well, sir, go on and finish it,” * It is Anished,” kald tho expectant student. * O, no," ssid the President, “+ Look bere, and here, and hiere,” pointing out many untinishud places, which hsd cccaped {he undiscip- lined oye of the young artist. Morse quickly obeerved the defects, spent s week in further perfecting his drawing, and then took it to Weat, with confidence that it was above criticiam. The President bestowed more praife than before, and, with & pleasant mmile, hand- od it luck to Muree, saying, “Very well in- deed, sir ; go on and fafsh 167 % Is it not finished 77 inquired tho simont discouraged student, * See, said Weat, ¢ you have not marked that muscle, nor the ar- ticulation of the finger-joints.” Threo days more ‘were spert upon the drawiug, when it was taken back 0 the implacable critic. * Yery clever indeed,” said West, “ very clever; now goon aud finish 1£." “I cannot finlshs it,” Morso replied, when the old_man, patting him on’ the shoulder, 83id, “ Well, well, I tried you long esough. Now, air, you've learned more by this drawing thau you would Lave accomplisked in double the fime by a dozen Lalf-tinished beginnings. 1t is not numerous drawings, but the character of one, which malkes the thorough draughtsman. Finish one picture, eir, and you are painter. Morse beeded ‘the sound sdvice, He studiod with Allston and obscrved his processes ; and from the lipa of West ho heard the most salutary maxims, Encour- 2ged by both, as well as by tho veleran Copley, be be- gan to paint & largs picture for exhibition in the Royal Academy, choosing for bis subject “ The Dying Her- cules,” Following the practice of Allston (who was then palnting tne ‘celobrated plcturs of * The Derd Man Restored to Life by Touching the Bones of Eli- jab 7, o modelled his, dguro in claz, a3 the best of the old puinters did.

So began, upon a firm foundation, the real art-life of this New England stadent. Encouraged by this success, Morse determined to contendfor the highest premium offered by the Royel Acadomy for the best historical compoeitain, the de- cision to be made Iate in 1815, ' For that’ purpose he i prodaced his “ Judgroent of Jupiter,” in July of that year, West aasurad bim that it would take the prize, but Morse was unable to comply with tho rales of the !

One of the firat articles to attract attention in the Galary for March is Thurlow Weod's ‘“BECOLLECTIONS OF HORACE GREELEY." It was in this way he first made Mr. Groeley's acquaintance: b The exciting Presidential campaicn of 1840 was in- augurated by Congress in 1837, The questions in ise: affected, or were eupposed to affect, the general wel- fare most vitally. _Prominent among these “isuca were tlio tar}fl aud United States bank questions, The discussion of these and other policies of the State and Natioual Governments rendered the publication of o weeldy campcign journal expedient, and the Whig State Committeo devolved upon me the duty of select ingun editor, 1 had for several montha boen favors. bly Inupressed with the New Yorker, a woekly journal published in tho city of New York, ‘distinguished not only by its judicious and interesting selections, but re- raarksble £or the extent and accuracy of ita polilfeal statiatics.

He was especisily gratified with the op- portunity of advocating the protective tarif policy.

Weed informed him that if o hadepoken little sooner he would have been gratified. As it was 1t waatoo Jale, though ap- plications were made to the conventions of twa or threo counties. 3 On two or threo snbsequent occasions, Mr. Greeley indicated a willingness to accept nomi- nations, bt did not seem anxious.: *‘If the same strong passion for office,” says Mr. Woed, “existed then _which @ subsequent- ly became apparent, I had mno Lknowl- edge or suspicion of it. I thonght that his ambition snd pride looked to tho estab- lishment of & widely-oirculating and inflnential journal, through the columns of which he could réndor great and good service to tho coun- fry sud the people.” He gives this account of tlie dissolation of the celebrated political firm of Weed, Seward & Greeley : In 1854 M.

Mr. Greeley saw that, to use an expression then well un- dersiood, the “elate” had been broken, and cheer- fally relinguished the idea of being nominated. But & fow dsys atterward Mr. Grecley came to Albany and £ald in an abrupt but not vofricndly way : “Is thero any objection to my running for Lieutenant Gov- ernor 27 1 replied a8 promptly : “ Certainly not, if on reflection you aro willing to taks the nomination,” “Why shouid I mot be wiling to-take i£2 You say hat I have many ememies.

This testimony is composed of official corre- spondence, that caanot bo reproduced here; but we quote ono paseage illustrating how, under the prescnt syatem purnued by the Interior De- arimont, sud the traders who control it, the nited States aro supplying the Indians with the very weapons that malke them so danger- | ous: Every person ot all familizr with the conduct of tho Indians kaows that there is Do plan or idea which thoy #ludy more persistently than that of eccumulating orms and ammunition, and in the suncessful execatioa of this plan they have collected, 20d aro towday eals lecting arms, and amrounition of the latest aud most spproved paftera. This supply of 8rms and ammuni- tion is not obtained for puzposes of kunting, for no ter how bountifully the Indisn may be supplicd h fircarus, his favoritoand most successful mode of killing the buiTalo, his principal article of food, is | with tho bow augarrow. 1t is, at the saume time, the most counomical mode, as tHe arrows, aftes bein Iviged in the bodies of the buffalo, may bo recover. unimpaired, and be used repeatedly. No Indian will buy two 'guns!” If tha oiorabls Commis- sioner had “added the wards, provided ho can steal them, hie Gelement would bo heart- i ily concurred fn, From s Suowledge of tho facts, I | venturo the usscition that there fs scarcely an Indiin ! on tho plains, mo matter how fully armed snd equipped, but will gladly barter almot anything he owns, of praper value, in exchange for zood arms and smmunition. Even if his personz) wunls In this re- spoct are satisfied, the Indian 1o {co_shrewd at drivicg 3 bargain to throw swsy yns opportunity of possessing imuelf of armo o3 srumuiition, &5 among hia comi rades he 33 awarn thal no other articles of trade com- mand ths prices that are paid for implements of war. An ‘indian may not desire two guna for his own tes, but he will buy cr procure one gtn and cns or wmore revolvers ga o of his equipment for wor, and thero are few of i chiefs and warriom of fhe plsira who foday are not tho posscesors of a last oo breoch-load- ing rifle or carbine, =nd from one to two revolvers. This can, bo vouched for by any oflicer who has been brought in contact with the hostils Indians of late yearn. Aa to the Indiannot haviog proper means to tske caro of his ammunition, experience hzs shown that when he fil‘ into action he carries a greater num- ber of rounds of ammunition than do our soldiers, and, in time of peace, he exerclses far beiter care of bis supply than do our ten. The army declared itsolf almost unanimotely sgainst tho ixsue of arms to the Indians, while tho traders, who werslooking to the prctits,'and others of the Indian Bureau, prochimed cudly in favor of thalsstic, unlimited and unrestrained. General Hancock, commanding at that ime one of the most, {mportant and extensise of the Indian Dapart- ‘ments, jssued orders to his subordinates throughout the Indian country, similar fo the order referred to of Genersl Cooke. The order simply required Pust Com- manders and other cflicers t0 provent {ho fsaue or saloof arms and ammunition to any Indians of the plains, As we wero then engaged in hostilities with nearlyall the tribes, it would have boen simply aisist- ing onr enemies Dot to adopt this course. A spon- taneous outery came from the traders who were to bo affected by this -order—an outcry that did not coase until it resounded fo Washtogton. General Hancock roported his actionin tho matter o bis next superior oficer, at that time Lieutenant-General Sherman. Gen- eral Sherman at onco sent & letter to General Hancoc] cmphatically approving the courso of the Iater, an: Telterating the order. S ST UNTO THE RAINBQW.
