C.—The Chicago Journal of Monday last states that two men, named C. Milten James and Alfred Hyde, came to that city a short time since, and very foolishly embarked in the enterprise of open- ing 2 fraudulent banking institution, at No. 1 North Dearborn street. Their only “stock in trade’’ was a large bundle of pieces of printed Paper, purporting to be bills on the “ Ameri- can Exchange Bank.’’ of Georgetown, D. C ’ pretending to be secured by ‘‘ real estate and public stocks,”’ and signed by“ S H. Keith, Cash ,” and‘ Z. Pierson, Pres't.”” There is no such institution at Georgetown, D. C., as the “American Exchange Bank.” On the back of these bills was stamped with a wooden die ~‘ Bought by Z Pierson & Co, Bankers and Brokers, Beekman street, New York, un der the } au Bank ;’’ and also, with a simi- lar die, - Bought at No. 1 North Dearborn street, Chicago.”’ . The way these swindlers were detected was in this wise: They had employed a young man as clerk, whom they refused to pay afler bis work was done, and who thereupon sued them. employing Mr. Winston, the law er, as counsel. Mr. Winston, being informed of the circumstances of the case, suspected that this “banking house’? was not altogether what it pretended to be, and accordingly placed the matter in the hands of the police, who, with- out mach difficulty, succeeded in probing the concern, and ascertained its utter worthless- ness Both James and Hyde were arrested, and underwest an examination before Jus- tices De Wolf and Hosington, which resulted in their being held to bail, James in the sum of $1,000, and Hyde in the sum of $560 for trial befure the proper court The cbject of these swindlers appears to be the defrauding of farmers and country people by exchanging their paper trasb for produce. Nationa, TagatRe.—A rare entertainment is afforded at the Theatre on Tuesday night, in the performance of the Holliday street Theatre company from Baltimore The thril- ling play of ‘‘ The Marble Heart,”’ with the capital farces of “ Tarning the Tables’’ and “* Toodles,’’ make up a fine bill, to which is added the perfurmanee of the graceful dan- seuse, Miss Ellen Warren Jacxson Dewocratic Association —We learn that Hon. Fayette McMullin, Hon. Sam- uel Caruthers, and other distinguished speak- ers will address the Jackson Democratic Asso- ciation to-night. Monvuaxt to A. J. Downing.—The monu- ment which the friends of the lamented Down- ing have had in preparation, and which has been in progress of erection at the establish- peotot ER. Launits, New York, for some time past, was Maptais:! laced in the position as- i t, on the rising ground in the north- east corner of the Smithsonian grounds. The monument, which is of veined marbie, stands upon a granite base, and is surmounted by an elaborately wrought vase of white marble. The Northern front of the monument bears the following inscription : THIS VASE Was Erected by his Friends, IN MEMORY OF ANDREW JACKSON DOWNING, Who died July 23, 1852, aged 37 years. He was born. *24 lived, and died upon the Hudson river. life was devoted to the improvement of the n ional taste in rural art, an office for which his genius and the natural beauty amidat which he lived had fully endowed him. His success was as great as his genius, and for the death of few public men was public grief ever more sincere. When these grounds were proposed he was at once called to design them ; but before they were completed he perished in the wreck of the steamer Henry Clay. His mind was singularly just, penetrating, and original. His manners were calm, reserved, and cour- teous His personal memory belongs to the friends who loved him ; hisfame to the country which honors and laments him. Upon the Southern front : “The taste of an individual, as well as that of a nation, will be in direct proportion to the prof» 1nd sensibility with which he perceives the beautiful in natural sconery. bi Open wide, therefore, the doors of your libraries and — aes all ye true re- publicans! uild halls where knowledge shall be freely diffused among men, and not shut up within the narrow walls of narrower institutions. Plant spacious parks in your cities, and unclose their gates as wide as the gates of morning to the whole people.” [Downing’s “ Rural Essays. Upon the Eastern front is inscribed— «« © Weep no more,’ For Lycidus your sorrow is not dead, Sunk though he be beneath the wat’ry floor, So sinks the day-star in the ocean bed, And yet, anon, repairs his drooping head, And tricks his beams, and with new spangled ore Flames in the forehead of the mornin; sky; So Lycidus sunk low, but mounted high Through the dear might of Him that walked the waves ”’ And upon the Western front— { clim b the hill from end to end, Of all the landscape underneath I find no place that does not breathe Some gracious memory of my friend ’Tis held that sorrow makes us wise, Yet how much wisdom sleeps with thee, Which not a‘one ha! guided me, But served the seasons at may ris2.

VaGrants.—Proverty huiders who have un- finished houses, and henses not regularly oc- cupied by respectable tenants, complain that their property is frequently endangered by parties of vagrants of all colors who force their way into their houses and remain night after night. Vagrants choose any place to sleep during the summer months, that being their merry time, when they ean pilfer from the stores and markets, and by disposing of their stolen goods purchase the whisky, whi hb in most cases is the cause of vagrancy. Prop- erty holders have real cause to fear this class of beings. They sleep in the markets, lum- ber yards, unfinished buildings, &c ; and, aside from their thiefish propensities. there is danger from them as incendiaries. When the first frost arrives they make for the watch house as lodgers, and by repeated visits make themselves expensive to the Corporation dur- ing the winter Hard work at “the farm” during the working season would probably rid the city of the majority of these creatures, who are generally from other localities. The city would be greatly benefited by it. They love the farm in the winter, when there is no work to do, but they dread a trip down in the sum- mer. Larceny —Martha Hall, colored, was ar- rested yesterday on a charge of stealing a lot of clothing from the residence of Mr Jos. Sickles. Officer Reynolds succeeded in catch- ing her on Second near Third street. She was taken before Justice Hollingshead and com- mitted to jail for trial at the December term of the Criminal Court. Marcer Tarzves.—This morning a lady who had filled her market basket, left it for a short time at a bench in the Centre market. Upon her return the basket was gone. The old game of stealing baskets from the stands is about to be renewed, and purchasers had better be careful to secure their marketing when they can.

Tar Cape May Arrray.—Mr. Kdito' very exaggerated account of a trifling affair, which occurred at Cape May a few days ago, has appeared in the Star and several other daily papers. The facts are briefly these: Three or four gentlemen were in a room in the Mount Ver- non Hetel on last Sunday afternoon. By ac- cident a tumbler was broken; one of the gen- tlemen picked it up and threw it out of the window ; one of the negro waiters, who hap- pened to be in the vicinity of the place where the tumbler fell, supposed it to have been thrown at him, and immediately commenced a tirade of abuse of all the persons in the room from which the tumbler had been thrown. “The young gentleman from Washington” went down stairs, and meeting the negro, ex- postulated with him, and assured him that the tumbler was not thrown at him. But he was not to be pacified; but, becoming more boisterous, made threats of cutting out the white livered heart of his supposed antagonist, and when about to suit the action to the word, the young gentleman drew his pistol and pre- sented it It merped and was thrown aside. The knife was then drawn, and with it a slight flesh wound wasinflicted, and thus ended this ‘‘ outrage.” Asan evidence of the truth of this states ment we can state that on the morning after the occurrence “ the wounded man’? was wait- ed on by the Mayor of the town, and in reply to the request that he should make his affidavit of the facts, he stated that he would not do so, that he was in the wrong himself, and that he did not believe ‘‘the young gentleman” in- tended to do him any serious inju There the matter ended, notwithstanding the efforts of outsiders, white and black, to have criminal proceedings instituted August 8, 1856 A WaASBINGTONIAN.

FOR ALL TEE PURPOSKS OF A FAMILY PHYSIC, HERE HAS LONG EXISTED A PUBLIC demand for an effective Purgative Pill which could be relied on as sure and perfectly safe in its operation. This has been prepared to meet that demand, and an extensive trial of its virtues has conciusively shown with what success it accom- plishes the I e designed. It is easy to make aphysical Pril. but not so easy to meke the best have none ¢f the & of all Pells—one which sboul objections, but all the advanteges of every otber. This has been attempted here, and with what suc- cess we would respectfully submit to the public decision. It has been unfortunate for the patient hitherto that almost every purgetive medicine is acrimonious and iritating tothe bowels. This isnet| Many of them preduce so much griping Puia and revulsion in the system as to more than counterbalance the good to be derived fro » them. These Pills produce no irritation or pain, unless it arises from a preriousl, existing obstruction or derangement in the bowels Being purely vege- table, no harm can arise from their use in any quantity; but itis better than any medicine should be taken judiciously. Minute directions for their use in the several diseases te which they are ap- plicable are given on the box. Among the com- plaints whica have been speedily cured by them ‘we may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms of Jaundice, Indigestion, Lang uo: and Loss of Appetite, Listlessness, Irritsbiliry, B lous Headache, Bilious Fever, Fever and Agne, Pain ia the Side and Loins, for in truth, all these are but the consequence of diseased action of the liver As anaperient, they efford prompt and sure reltet in Cortiveness, Piles, Coiic, Dysentery, Humors, Scrofula and Scurvy, Colds, «ith sore- ness of the b dy, Ulcers and impurity of the blecd ; in short any and every case where a porga tive is required They have also produced some singnitarly suc cessful cures in R bermatism.Goot, Hropsy, Grav el, Erysi,eias, Pa'pitation of the Heart, Pains tn the Back, Stomach and Side. They sho ld be og Oe pety the spring of the z te arity the bi and prepare the system for the change of seasons. An occ:sional dose stimulates the stomach into health: igor a age ee ges tite and vige. They purity the blood, and by their stimulant action on the circulatory system, renovate the stren; of the body, and restore tbe wasted or d’ evergies of the whole organ- ism. Hence an occasional dose is advantageous even though no serious é exists; but annecessary dosing should never be carried too far, as every purgative medicine reduces the stre! . tn? taken toexcess The thousand eases In which a grr sapeqetvahcanest sates merated here, but they © Gheeneives Se ee reason of every body; and it 1s confidently be- lieved this pil! will answer a better purpose than hitherto been available to any thing which has pe hors y When their virtues are once known the public will no longer doubt what remedy to employ when in need of @ cathartic medicine Being sugar wrapped they are it to take, and belng purely vegetable, no harm can arise from their use in any quantity. For minute directions see the wrapper on the Box. PREPARXD BY DR. JAMES <. AYER, PRACTICAL § ANALYTICAL CHEMIST, LOWELL, Mass. Price 25 Cents per Box. Five Boxes for $1 00 Sold by Z.D.
