The Intelligencer, in republishing the Re- pudlican’s account of the honors tendered by the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce to Mr. George Peabody, takes occasion to say : “« We take pleasure in recording the manifest- ations of respect which everywhere greet the worthy gentleman whose name heads this para- raph. because we view them as no less honora- le to those who bestow them than they are to bim to whom they are aes They evincean appreciation of successful i: try united to per- sonal worth—the accumulation of wealth by years of honest labor, and the princely disposition to employ it for the benefit of bis fellow creatures. We take especial pleasure in recording his re- spectful reception in the greatand prosperous cit: of the great West. and the remarks with whic! he acknowledged the compliment derive a partic- ular value from the testimony which he so em- —— and touchingly bears to the fraternal feeling which the people of England cherish for our people and our country.”" The Union contains an able paper from the pen of a retired gentleman against that,so fast- growing evil, special legislation, wherein the writer says : “The power of giving away the common fund of common property of the people without a sub- stantial equivalent, which can be estimated by some precise rule of arithmetic, has not been ex- pressly or incidentally conferred by the Constitu- tion on either Congress or the Stafe legislatures. It is a dangerous power—a power nevitably leading to grest abuses and great corruption, as we have seen in a late memorable instance which bas inflicted an indellible stain on the fair fame ofthe republic. It is equally injurious to the general welfare as to the gener:l rights of the People. most especially when exercised in the en- dowmeat of corporate bodies, because it creates an influence with whieh no individual citizen can successfully contend. Neither in legislative halls, in courts of law, or in the common inter- course of business, can he withstand the concen- trated intiuence and concentrated capital of these bastards of special legislation, which may now be said to exercise greater sway in politics and legislation than the whole collective Seay of the people. They combine together, and are irre- wistinle. — a To-mozxow is theanuiversary of Henry Clay’s birthday.

Tar New District or Corvausra Cope.—We have received from Mr. Ould Part III of a New Code for the District of Columbia, a pamphlet of two hundred and twenty pages, relating to courts and judicial officers, and pro- ccodingin civil cases. The first five chapters (of which he is under- stood to be the author for the most part—the duties of the Commissioners having been divi- ded between themselves, each taking a third part, bis comprising the first title,) relate to the organization, powers and jurisdiction of the Cireuit, Orphans’ and District Courts, and to the duties and liabilities of the Clerk of the Cireuit Court and Register of Wills. The second title, comprises twenty chapters, and relates to the forms of civil actions and of the parties thereto, to the manner of commenc- ing actions, to pleadings, to the claim and de- livery of personal property, to injunctions, to attachments, to receivers and deposit in-Court, to issues, to trial by Jury, by Court, or by re- ferees, to exceptions, to new trials, to judg- ments, to executions, to proceedings supplemen- tary to execution, to commissioners, to the lim- itation of actions, to costs, to proceedings to re- view judgments, and to appeals. The distinction between actions at law and suits in equity, and the forms of such actions and suits hereto- fore existing are abolished, and one form of ac- tion to be entitled a civil action, is given, the course of procedure in which is set forth in de- tail in the different chapters of this title. The law as administered by courts of equity and courts of law, is not changed or altered by }+ this provision. It only relates to the mode of procedure, and refers to the manner in which the court is to be approached—whether equi- table or legal relief is to be demanded. The principles both of equity and law will be admin- istered as heretofore, except so far as the same may be altered by those provisions of the Code which relate to the law of right. The provis- ions of this title are confined as much as possi- ble to such matters of remedy and procedure as relate to actions generally. An action is taken up from the beginning and carried through its Various stages of progress. Who shall be par- ties to the action and how it shall be begun— what the summons shall contain and how itshall be served—when publication may be had—what pleadings are allowed. what they shall contain, and how they shall be construed and amended— what causes of action may be united in the same complaint — how personal property may be claimed by and delivered over to a party—how and in what cases an injunction may issue—how, when, and what sort of property may be at- tached, what shall be the proceedings thereon, and how it may be dissolved—in what cases re- | ceivers may be appointed—how issues arise, how and when and by whom they shall be tried— how trials by jury, by the court, or by referees shall be conducted—when and gow exceptions may be taken—for what reasoM™ and in what manner, new trials may be had—for and against whom judgments may be given and how it shall be entered—when execution may be issued, what kinds may be allowed. and when stayed—what may be levied on and how sale shall be made— how and when disclosures of property may be be compelled—what shall be the limitation in point of time upon the right of bringing actions —what shall be the rule of costs and how they shall be taxed—how and when judgments may be reviewed, and how and when appeals are allowed—are matters treated of in the order herein stated, the general rules relating to the same, and the qualifications of and limitations on such general rules being set forth in detail. Under each one of these various heads there is perhaps some material and important change in the existing law. In many cases entirely new remedies are given and an entirely new procedure set out. Imprisonment on mesne process in no case is allowed. In only one in- stance can the body be taken in execution, and that is after judgment, when the creditor makes affidavit that the judgment debtor is fraudu- lently concealing, removing, conveying or trans- ferring property subject to execution, with in- tent to defraud. Notice of the filing of such affidavit is given to the debtor and he is required to show cause against it. If the court or jury find that he has fraudulently concealed, re- moved, conveyed or transmitted specific prop- erty (to be designated in the finding of the court or jury) with intent to defraud, and if the judgment debtor will not surrender the property so found or poy its value, then exe- eution may be found against his bedy. Even in such case, upon taking the proper oath and complying with the requisitions of the insolvent law as prescribed by the code, he may be dis- charged. While no arrest is allowed on meene process, a very liberal and beneficial attachment law is given. In any action for the recovery of money the plaintiff at the time of issuing the summons, or at any time afterwards, may have the prop- erty of the defendant attached, as a security for the satisfaction of such judgment as he may re- cover. The plaintiff, or some person in his be- half, must make affidavit that a cause of action exists against the defendant, specifying the amount and nature thereof, and that the affiant verily believes the defendant is either a foreign corporation, or that he is not a resident of this District, or has departed therefrom with intent to defrand his creditors, or to avoid the service ofa summons, or that he so conceals himself that a summons cannot be served on him, or that he has assigned, secreted, removed, or dis- posed of, or is about to assign, secrete, remove, or dispose of his property subject to execution, or @ part thereof, with the intent to defraud his creditors, or that the debt was fraudulently contracted. Before the writ is issued a bond is required of the plaintiff, with sureties, in a sum not less than two hundred dollars, and not ex- ceeding the amount claimed by the plaintiff when the same is more than two hundred dol- lars, that if the defendant recover judgment the plaintiff will pay all costs and damages The rights and shares which the defendant may have in the atock of any corporation or compa- ny, all debts due such defendant, and all prop- erty, real and personal, of such defendant, not exempt from execution, may be attached, and if judgment be recovered against him, be sold or collected to satiefy the judgment and exe- cution. The manner of executing the attach- ment is set out at length. After any property is attached, the Marshal may deliver it to the the defendant, or to any other person claiming it, and in whose possession it was attached, upon his giving bond, with security, engaging to re- deliver it, or pay the value thereof, to any Marshal to whom the execution upon a judg- ment obtained by the plaintiff in that action, may be issued. We shall shortly again recur to this publica- tion ot the third part of the District Code, which is so replete with interest to all ou fel- low-citizens. A Canpip ADMISSION AND FULL Exposition. Yesterday we took occasion to “ blow up’? Gov- ernment officials, the world over, on account of the unbusiness-like manner in which they trans- act business usually. Our own are bitten with the terrible disease, which seems incidental to the class and to have been its attribute inevcry age and clime since organized governments have existed, though there have always been found strong pens to complain of the disabilities it in- flicts on those who have dealings with powers, (of State.) Yet we are ever ready to defend that too-mach abused class: Governmental offi- cials—for as Inuch as they sin in such matters, they are far more sinned against than sinning, as no one knows better than ourself. It is fash- ionable to find fault with and abuse them—to lay at their door responsibility for any and every thing awry that occurs. No department or institution of Government is more abused than the-Post Office Department, while we sincerely believe no other public insti- tution confers more substantial benefits on s0- ciety or is more advantageously managed for the public interest. We of the press are, perhaps, most annoyed by the occurrence of apparent irregularities in the management of the business of the Post Office; yet we have rarely had occa- sion to trace up the history and career of a miss- ing letter, without finding that thoresponsibility for its non-receipt was not justly chargeable to the officers of the post. This fact is so forcibly illustrated ina late publication in the New York Times, that we transfer it to the Star's col- umns, as follows : “Lost Moxry Letters. “* To the Editor of the New York Daily Times: “Sin: Ina late issue of the Times, I observed an editorial article complaining of the loss of a large number of money letters sent to your address pers the United States mails, at the same time furnishing your readers with a list of such valua- ble letters lost in the month of February, you say : -“¢We vn tecord of all letters omining ‘money sent to the Times, and which never reac. ‘us—so far as we are subsequently advised of ‘ their having been sent. The following transcript ‘from that record for the month of February, ‘alone, shows the amount lost, and the propor- ‘tion that were registered.’ «Then follows the list referred to, embracing some Mar Beapkt sixteen of which were ‘‘regis- tered” at the offices where mailed, and the balance were sent as unregistered and in the ordinary way. 5 vs all registered letters delivered from this office have to pecepied for by parties to whom they were addressed, or by ‘their authorized agents, I have made an examination of the receipt books in the Registry bees poppet and find that the Postmaster holds receipts for all the register- ed letters enumerated by you. The receipts are signed by the young man, who was, until recent- ly, regularly employed and authorized to receive registered and all other letters for the Times office. If, therefore, these valnable letters failed to reach you it is no fault of the Registry System or of the Post Office Department. “Very respectfully yours, “J. Horsroox, “Special Agent Post Office Department. ‘« We have satisfied ourselves, by personal ex- amination, that the above is substantially correct, and that the losses of money contained in regis- tered letters has been due, to some extent, at all events, to the unfaithfulness of agents in our own employ. We desire, therefore, to relieve the Clerks in the Registry Department of the City Post Office, from whatever suspicion our former statements on this subject may have involved. “* We may add, also, that we are satisfied that merchants aud business men generally are far too careless in regard to the class of persons who are sent to the Post Office for their letters. It is very { common to intrust this peportant and responsible duty to those emp/oyees who are in the most infe- rior positions, and who are most inadequately paid for their services. A direct temptation to dishonesty is thus thrown in their way. Weare satisfied that the matter deserves more attention than it receives.*? The gist of this story ia as follows: The pro- pfietors of the Times, on finding thas they had been robbed by somebody, charged the offence on the officers of the post. On investigation, they find that those thus accused are blameless in the premises, the robberies having been com- mitted by their own post-office boy, clerk, or agent. Tar ScneMe to Apouitionize New Yorx City.—There is great excitement in New York city just now, in relation to bills pending before the Legislature at Albany, which if they become laws, will materially change tho city | government and make New York an appendage to the State Executive. We have not the bills before us, nor have we room to give them in de- tail if we had. They propose to have New York, including the appointment of the police, entirely governed by commissioners, who are to be appointed by the Governor from the rural districta, if he chooses. These commissioners are in no way responsible to the people they totally independent; their salaries, which are paid by the city. The Mayor becomes a mere nonentity, and the present able incumbent has announced his intention to resign when the bills become laws. In fact, all the elective offi- cers are stripped of power, and become only clerks for the commissioners. No wonder that New Yorkers cannot think of submission to this legislative and party tyranny, and confess from the strong language we have heard used by ex- cellent and quict citizens now temporarily here, we should feel no surprise if an organized effort was made to prevent the operation of the pro- posed law. Tho whole thing is a flagrant and flagitious wrong, inflicted by a Republican party legisla- ture and executive, because New York dared to give 20,000 majority for Buchanan. This is the alpha and omega of the whole transaction, as is plainly visible ; the people of New York, the Common Council, and the members of the legis- lature from the city have opposed the bill stren- uously and zealously, but to no avail. New York city must be made Republican, and the leaders think these laws will accomplish that end. Then, too, the Governor has so many partizans to reward, that six or eight commis- sionerships with fat salaries, cannot be lost merely because the citizens of New York do not want any change. Assistant Secretary or Stare.—Among recent appointments is that of the Hon. John Appleton, recently in the editorial chair of the Union, as Assistant Secretary of State. This is an important office, requiring not only abili- ty, but practical experience, in public affairs. In England, and elsewhere in Europe, the posi- tion or office has existed for centuries, we be- lieve. Its utility was originally urged on our Government Ly Mr. Secretary Webster. In the manifold duties of the State Department Mr. Webster soon percieved that some able and ex- Perienced business man, possessing the confi- dence of the Secretary, was required near at hand to attend to the thousand and one calls on the head of the Department, while the Secreta- ry might be engaged in preparing important state papers, negotiating treaties, &c.,in fur- nishing reports for the information of the Presi- dent and Congress, in giving audience to foreign envoys, and glancing around the world among our foreign relations, &c., &c. In the temporary absence of the Secretary, also, such an officer was deemed proper, to act as Secretary ad interim. Hence the institution of Assistant Secretary of State, as urged by Mr. Webster. Precisely such a man we have in Mr. Apple- ence in affairs. Asa lawyer and editor, for several years, he acquired knowledge of our national polities, and facility as a writer. He | became familiar with legislation, by an honora- ble career in Congress. As Secretary of Lega- tion in London with Mr. Buchanan, he enjoyed | the advantage of mingling in the highest field | of European diplomacy, under the auspices of one of our most able and experienced states- men, whose confidence he possessed from first to last. He now returns, fortified by experience at home and abroad, as Assistant Secretary to an illustrious Premier. A betters lectioncould not have been made. In the brief valedictory of Mr. Appleton, ta- king leave of the readers of the Union, on re- tiring from its editorial responsibilities, it ap- pears that his health was inadequate to the task. Indeed no person who has not tried the experiment, can comprehend the labor, in mind and body, of an editor of a daily newspaper. The labors of the day are scarcely ended before new cares and duties accrue, for which tho weary editor is responsible. We rejoice to learn, however, that the health of Mr. Apple- ton is improving, and that his. new duties aro likely to prove more congenial to permanent health: As be hae proved efficient in all his are to govern, or to the city legislature, but are | to be $4,000 or $5,000, are of course to be | ton.

Rev. Mr. Katiocn.—It was stated yesterday, on what we considered good authority, that Rev. Mr. Kalloch intended to withdraw from the min- istry, and devote himself to the study of the law. We have been authentically informed that the statement was incorrect, and that his intention is to resume his ministerial duties. Furthermore, he will insist be ea having a new trial, feeling confident that the result will be an acquittal. — Boston Traveller, 9th. In the face of the conflicting evidence, we would gladly believe Mr. Kalloch to be innocent, although to do so would ignore circumstantial evidence—the main points of which are admitted —of the strongest possible character. The belief in his geile, We may safely say, is more general since the trial than before, and nothing but evi- dence of innocence of a itive character can now remove from the minds of many whose opin- ions are worthy of respect the unfavorable im- ression which has been made by the evidence. Jnder such circumstances, Mr. Kalloch ought to withdraw entirely from the ministry. Personal iends may rally around him, aad a very large Portion, perhaps a majority of the public, may still regard him as innocent; but his influence as a minister cannot be revived unless this dark cloud is scattered. His would be a continued re; ligion. ‘The interests of the church and the good of society imperatively demand his withdrawal, | while such a step would be no concession of {| guilt. We trust that no injudicious counsels will | be suffered to outweigh the dictates of propriety aud discretion. —Boston Journal, 8th.
