This was first suggested by the American Minister, Hon, Townsend Harris, in a letter sent some weeks ago to Geveral Dorr, our Consul at this place, and by him proposed to the Americans here, by sefding to them a circular for signature, with Mr. Harris’ letter attached, ‘This circular was signed by Americans, Europeans and all classes, except ‘pig tails’ and Japanese. This is tho first national thanksgiving of the kind ever celebrated ‘east of the Cape of Good Hope. ‘The Niagara did not leave this morning at daylight, as ‘was expected, having been detained to settle some dif. ficulties which occurred in Yokahama yesterday between the Niagura’s sailors and a Frenchman. The trouble, as I understand it to be, was this:— Yesterday some four or fivé of the Niagara’s sailors were down in the “Swamp,” a sort of Five Points, when they came upon a Frenchman with a watch and pistol One of the Niagara's eailors made a grab at his watch, another at his pistol, both of which they succeeded in getting, whilst the othors “pitched ia,” took his sword and bext hia: most unmercifuily The outrage was reported to the French Consul here, who, of course, immediately took the matter up; and now, Whilst writing, the French Mipister of Jeddo, wao happens to be here at preseut, and the French and Aineri- ean Consuls at Kanagawa, are all on board the Niagara, having just gone off with Captain McKean, to try to settie the maiter. Thave written to my friend, Dr. Woodworth, surgeon of the ship, who goes home in’ her, to furnish all tuo par- ticulars connected with the affair, aud send it to the Heratp, which you can depend upon getting, and that, too, correctly. “The Niagara will not probaaly leave till morning. Last Thursday the American Minister was here and made bis oilicial visit on board the Niagara. He was ac companied by Mr, Heusten, Secretary of Legation; Gene- ral Dorr, American Consul; sixteen American missionaries, seven ladies and nine gentlemen, and some half dozen others from Kanagawaand Yokahama. The visit was ra- ther cold and formal; nothing of interest took place except some happy remarks by Mr. Harris and General Dorr. ‘On going on board the Minister was saluted, and at the gangmay was received with the usual honors; also on ing. It i¢ expected that the Niagara will salute General Dorr with the “big guns" before leaving, Captain McKean hay ing promised to do so. The sailor difficulty, however, may prevent it. None of the Japanese who went to the United States, attached to the Embassy have made their appearance at er ya yet. It will be recollected that several were from bere iu the custom house—among them the renowned amura and many others. tand upon good authority that the whole party separated as much us possible, some of thet having been sent into the interior in order to prevent their meeting one another of the party who went over, for fear that talking about it among themselves might make them dissatisfied with their condition. There is great diseatisfuetion among the Americans here in regurd to the currency. In fact, it amounts al- most to evolution at times. Mexican dollars here are only worth two and a quarter itsebuee—eq ual to seventy-five cents to the dolhar. ‘Ka-me, the Japanese who came from Hong Kong to Jeddo in the Niagara and whom the Japanese Ambassadors Tefusad to allow to go on shore till hia case had been re- ported to the Japanese government and permission given to land, has had his case decided, and he is allowed to come ashore. Soon after leaving Hong Kong, Ka-me underwent a for- mal examination on the quarter deck of the Niagara, in presence of the Ambassadors and several of the othor o Ka-me is thirty-four years old, left Jeddo in 1860 in a junk of about four hundred tons, with seventeen persons ‘on board, which was wrecked, and all the seven- teen persons list. They were wrecked five days after leaving, and wore picked up by the American ship Aukiand and taken to San Francisco, where he remained one year. He then went to China in the United States sloop St Marys, and returned in six months; then went as steward ou board the United States surveying schooner Ewing, and also on the Active, going to different ports. Ho afterwards sailed from San Francisco in the brig Ida D. Rodgers, for Hong Kong, where he was taken on board the Niagara. P.S.—The French Minister has just landed from tho Niagara, accompanied by Count Montblanc, the gentle- man who was assaulted. He was badly beaten, as his looks show ; is watch, part of the chain, sword and pistol have been recovered, and the men who committed tho | assault identified The matter has been satisfactorily settled by all parties, as I learned from the French M nistor myself.

At an early hour of a cold and cloudy day in the month of November, we loft the ship, and after a long and strong pull in one of our best boats, we passed be tween the forts and landed at the government stairs, whore officials with two swords were in attendance to conduct us to our quarters, provided by the Tycoon, and which were the same recently occupied by Lord Figin and suite. As in this country there are no hotels, travel lors are entirely dependent on the hospitality of their friends, in whose private houses they are entertained, or else in the appartments intended for the purpose, which are attached to each of the temples. Passing from the landing to the Ke-ogee Temple, we Saw but little to attract notice, save the numbers of the most hideous and repulsive black teethed womon, with children before, behind, on their backs, and not the ia short everywhere; dogs of the most mangy and woltish appearance, who gaped, and stared, and howled, and showed their teeth, and would, doubtless, haye bitten Dut for the attendant officials, whose power even they do not fail to recognise. Onward we went through streets, narrow, muddy and odoriferous, until we arrived at the temple gate, which was opened, aud wo entered the sacred. precinct. The grounds were neglected and the buildings dilapidated, but artisans were busily at work, renovating ‘and improving. The destructive influence of ago, however, forbade the idea of perfect restoration. Honored riches an this heathen fane were occupied by Amida and Ten pio-dai-zen, the god and goddess whom the Niphonese particularly delight to worship. The altar was rounded with yotivo offerings, evidences of the p ‘and penitence of the true believers, while the Bonzes in monotonous cadepoes were chanting the Liturgy of Bu the Many of tho rites and services recalled the ceromuiee of the Papal church, although it is said they boast a much higher antiquity.

The residences of the princes are built in hollow squares, occupying acres of ground, planted with the choicest trees aud surrounded by immense ranges of buildings, in which dwell their hundreds of retainers. In the princes’ quarter the streets are spacious, and you may observe some little difference in the character and costumes of the people. At times your attention is arrested by the clattering of rii gs atteched to long poles, the sigaal of the polive to clear the way and bend the knee bofore the pre- Bence some mighty prince, who, wi hiv cavaleade of retainers, his lures and penates, othcial papers, and, perchance, bis sviled igen, borne in pompous jer, condescends to permeate the vulgar crowd, is much in these processions to recall the traditions of the Middle Ages, when the feudal barons strode forth in all the pleuitade and pride of conscious power, while there is little to hope that tho light of con- stitutional freedom will soon break upon the darkneés of despotism, which for unknown centuries has over- sbadowed this fair and fertile laud, unless some trier and coward, tike Jobn of Fogland, should fll the Tyceon hrone, and the power of the press should lend its influ- nee to produce the change. An incident, perhaps the most important which occurred during ovr visit at Jeddo, was a reception at the palace of Mimister of Foreign Aifuirs, the present regent of Japun. The mer consisted of the American Miuister resident, Col. Ripley, U. 8. A.; Lieut. H. A. Wise, U. 8. N., and ien officers from the Niagara, The procession in’ nerimons, preceded by the American flag, and ollowed by such panters or baskets as are borne in the etinue of the native princes, but containing nothing started from the residevee of his Excellency Townsen Harris about two o'clock P. M., and arrived in one ‘hour at the palace of the Regent, which is situated be- tween the first and second walls of the triple walled and triple mounted fortifications which surround the e luce of the Tycoon. ‘The vestibule of the building was filled with soldiers on their knees. Ia an anteroom we met the late Japanese Ambassadors to the United States, and by them were conducted in order of rank into a long apartment with lofty ceilings and matted floors | where were seated the Regent and Consor behind a small table, We took our seats ata long table opposite the Regent. In the centre of the room, between the Regent and American Minister, sat Simme Bujen, the first in rank, of the late Ambassadors to the United States; and before | and behind him on their knees were two interpreters. In front of us were seen Novis ding the second and third of the late Embassy. At the extreme end 0° the room, on lis knees, we deseried the Governor, a8 he was called in our country, and a more ruefal countenance we never beheld. Also the Treasurer, whose usually bright and beaming face was now sad and sober. It was doubtless a humilisting position for these worthies to ocoupy in our precenc#, however high the privil of the throne; at thom, while we must ugied with our pity, times they refused to ons of our fairest and approach so near the representat other times we could not but p i proudes! country w The American M visitors, the introdu men ister introduced by name each of the tions were thea repeated a Dutch by his sceretury, and subsequently in J se by the in- torpreter to his Excetleney the Kegent. This cxremony ended, general congratulations were passed, some ques- tions seked, and very artful aud evasive answers given by the Regent. Ou the subject of the ordaance presents: eent from the United States to the Tycoon there was much conversation, and notwithstanding the persiatent remarks, of one of the ollicers in charge of them, who bad orders toremain and instruct them in their use, they politely declined, and seemed affronted at the bare’ supposi tion of their ignorance. Their reply was, “We al eady kvow a jittle, and can learn more. A visit subsequently made tb their arsenals proved that from the number of Dablgren guns, which they had already made from a pattern preeented by Commodore Perry, the offer to instruct was quite gratuitous, After this feast of reason, then commenced the flow of soul, which was brought on’ by some score of well dressed and well drillod servants, who placed in front of each guost lacquered trays, with lacquered cups, both of Which were beautifully’ simplo and neat.

Seventh course, sakie, red and white. Eighth’ course, tea and tobacco. The Ambassadors, our recent gnests, assisted in serving us, whilst the No Kamis were apparently amused at our awkward attempts to nd Gish with chop sticks. Af- which laudable curiosity, they furnish- During the collation occasional remarks of a national and fraternal character were interchanged, some fow toasts were drunk, and before the musical period arrived we took our departure in the order we entered, shook hands with the Regent, aud said Sionada fondly and for- ever to the swarthy and courteous Ambassadors from Cipango. ‘At the temple where we resided a bazaar was opened, at which many curious and handsome articles were ex- posed and sold, the vendors of them being ag acute and cunuing as any Europears or Americans, and, we fear. not half as honest, lying with them, as a distinguishe English jurist remarked of their neighbors, the Chinese, appearing to be constitutional. During the greater part of our visit tho weather was bad, and conse- quently we saw but little of the environs, the pleasure grounds ard gardens which surround the city. After ten days we left Jeddo, having received aboard presents for the President, the Mayors of New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington and San Francisco, and minor and less bulky ones for the officers of the ship. The value of the principal ones are unknown, as they have not be opened, while the lesser ones, although not costly, have a value which money could not impart, aa the gra’ tuitous gifts ef warm and grateful hearts. If any in- dulged in golden visions we do not regret their disap. pointment. ‘The Japanese are poor, simple and frugal in their tastes; Indulge in no extravagances, incur no debts, and live within their limited incomes. ’The wealth of the princes is expended on the maintenance of their nu merous retainers. The prevailing vice among them is sensuality, which runs rampant, and could scarce have been equalled in the worst days of Pompeii. Obscenity meets your eye on every hand and inevery form, pictures and images the most revolting are thrust in your face, and proces- ope of young girls, following the god of their idolatry, are frequently geen in the streets.

Public and pro misouous bathing is common in the smaller towns, while in the larger the sexes are neminally rated by trans. parent screens, and men alone are employed to assist the bathers io their ablutions. This custom is configed to parti- cular classes, but is indulged hy a'!—tho rich and the oor, The price of a bath is about eight cents. The doors are ‘open on the streets, 8 that the passers-by can, without difficulty, enjoy afuli view. The presence of foreigners seemed not ia the least to interrupt the routine of the bathers. At Yokahama, seventeen miles from Jeddo, we psesod several days at the hospitable residence of an old friend, whom we had known in former years at Canton. This town has almost sprang into existence since the Perry treaty, which was here negotiated ia 1854. Then it was a mere collection of hovels and huts, and now its droad and spacious streets are filled with bazaars con taining the treasures of art from Jeddo, Meaco and Na- gasaki. A conyenicnt custom house and wharves have algo been built. The foreign female society is small, numbering but three ladies, and on the second evenin, ufter our arrival there was a ballat the house of one them, at which we remained until (he morning gaa from tho Prussian flagship, lying in the harbor, announced the break of day. The honored guest ou the occasion was her accomplished commander, whose urbanity of man. ners and distinguished appearance created the most fa- vorable impression ‘The pablic amusements are not numerous, nor are they altogether conformab'e to English or Amorican ideas of propriety, however suited they may be to the taster of the Japanese; but from the expensive manner in which they are gotten up, foreign support must have been ex- pected. The ballets certainly differ from those in which wo have seen Taglioni, Cerito and Filster, and the music did not remind us of the airs of Rossini, Bellini or Vord The tragedies and pautomites we did oot see, which ~ must regret, a» they might have admitted a more minute deeription. “The popular piece, wo were told, was the “ Assonsination of the late Priace , and also that hones most delight. it is in such sthjects the gentle The harbor contained but few ships, two of which cleared for Shanghae while we were there.

Our Consul General, Dorr, who i& a princes of & good fel- low, resides at Kanagawa, distant four miles from Yoka- hana, and occupies a temple situated on an eminence, which is approached by some hun Ired steps. The grounds are filed with the choicest trees and flowers, and the view of the harbor and surrounding country is command. ing. In the rear are the graves of departed Japancse, which are monthly visited by their surviving relatives and friends, and decorated with flowers.

I wish I could conscientiously write that the universal desire in France was that by the time this letter reaches your shores all fears of the disruption of the United States had passed away. At first, it is true that the shock pro- duced on the public mind by the relation of this nmi nent disaster disposed it to sympathy, and it was no ua- common thing to hear it observed that a schism in the American Commonwealth would be an irreparable rent in the temple of Freedom throughout the world. Buta change has come o'er that dreamy spirit. It is suddenly aiscoyered that America’s difficulty is France's opportu- nity. France, it is said, sees only her own supremacy in all that is taking place across the Atlantic. With America in tho plenitude of her power, her alliance with England was fullof danger to France. Now that she will have enough to do in managingjher own affairs, and that Eng land will possibly be convulsed by the commercial! diffi- culties which must follow any derangement in the United States, France may do what she likes with her own. She may assemble her armies, her flect, or demand a Con- gress. Who shall say her nay? Prussia? Let her look to the Rhine. Austria? Sardinia and Hungary stand baying in the way. Ri ? Ah! Russia and France too well unterstood one another at the treaty of Paris. All things of themselves, it is said, gravitate to a common contre—the extension, the glory and happiness of France. ‘This Is etrange language from America’s old ally; but Tam assured itis true. The Emperor, who is quietly pushing forward the largest military preparations, in- tends to be ready in the spring to meet all contingencies, and it is again repeated that the Rhine will be the imme- diate scene of his labors. Matters would seem to be fast winding up with the King of Naples, By the last accounts by way of Naples Gacta had seusibly slackened its fire, and the Bourbon at tempt at carry ing on the war, after the manner of Gari- baldi, dans les et brazzes et les calabres, had been entirely checked by the precaution of the Sardinian government, which had sent in troops whose reception by the inhabi- tants had been most favorable. From Naples hundreds of young inen were hastening into Hungary to place them- selves nad their swords on the popular side against Aus- tria, who has suddenly pulled up in hor policy of conces. sion, and is now determined to rule with @ high hand. Except that history furnishes us with such marvellous instances of her recovery when reduced to the last ex tremity, everything would appear to demonstrate that Austria was exactly in the position of the hapless being whom the gods, having aetermined to ceatroy, in the first place deprived of his senses, Bankrupt in finance, a prey to intestine commotion, discomiitted in the field of battle, benighted by supersti- tion, without a single ally or even a well wisher, Austria presents a spectacle such as reminds the world of old France when the guillotine cut short the Bourbon moaar chy. Now, as then, reforms wore volunteered only to be withdrawn, vain struggles were made to throw off a vital Cisease, the emission of assignats engulfed the public and private property, and a national baukruptey was proclaimed. But in the pride of her Quadrilateral, and in the apparant belief that any desperate re course is better than a course of concession, which rather increases than allays the Hupgarian distrust, sho is now evidently determined to fight for ber owa. Much has been said of the inducements held ont to Gari Valdi to withhold his hand at loast for a while in the Hungarian quarrel, and that he has givon ear to them; bat 1 have had opportunities of conversing with mon whose opportunities of acquiring more exwet information cannot be disputed, aud from them I learn that Garibaldi ia resolved, coute qui coute, to be in Hungary by the end of February. Members of the British legislature now in Paris state that a definite understanding was arrived at between the _— and Freach governments, that the price of the withdrawal of the French fleet from Gacta should be the continuation of the French occupation of Syria. Napoleon has written to Gen. Beaufort, the Commander-in Chief of the expeditionary corps in Syria, to say how “highly he ap- preciates his services in protecting a whole people against crue! fanaticism, and guaranteeing them by the presence of bis eoldiers from the misfortunes which threaten them.'’ ‘And the Presse publishes a postscript to a letter from Beyrout stating that two Christian villages in the neighbor- hood of Damascus have jast had their inhybitants mas. racred by the Druses. ‘The Druses,"’ it says, ‘as well as the Moesulmen, being persuaded that the Sultan had for Diaden the French troops to cross the line of the Anti Lebonom, have thrown this menance and this defiance to Korope."’ In fact, it is sufficiently plain that those dis- tinetly discerned the true state of the case, when the original occupation took place, who said that the French, once in Syria, would take good care to find themselyee indispensable,and that the excellent undorstan ting of France and Russia at the late treaty of Paris was simply c Th an agreem to divide the sick man’s effects. Yesterday was a grand flold day for the mighty forty who constitute the the French Academy. Lacor daire, the Dominican monk, the successor of M. de Too- queville, was recetved by 41. Guizot, who represented the Academy, and who, in this capacity, did the honors to her Majesty the Empress on her entrance, Prince Na poleon and the Princess Clothilde were also present. It will be remembered that this election occurred some time ago, but that the formal reception of the new member was postponed till the period. ‘The chief intere in American 0; €8, tions of the United States furnished a theme in which the talents of M. ¢e Tocqueville originally found their cola. brity, and as it is the etiquette that the newly elected merabor should take for his thesis the virtues and talents of his predecessor, America necessarily became the sab- ject of the orations of ihe two most famous orators of France—Jacordaire and Guizot. As the correspondent of the New York Mxratn, I received from the Academy a ticket of admission to witness the proceedings, and no- thing could exceed the personal attention which M. Gui ot, in that character, bestowed upon me. I was placed 1A position where everything could be soon and heard to the greatest advantage, and only regret that the most innumerable topics of interest which in the existing state of the world a Paris correspondent must necessarily touch upon, and the limits to which I must confine my ot in a letter, prevent my giving you the amplest de: ‘ails. In addition to the imperial personages present, Tob served Lamoriciere and Changarnier. The whole ‘scene was @ curious fusion of the most discordant materials brought into harmony for the occasion: Guizos giv ing his arm to the wife of the usurper; the grim Changarnier and Lamoriciore sitting at the footstool, 8» to speak, of the author of the coup d'etat. Tt was altoge ther a magnificent assemblage, and to those weil versed jo the history of the past ten years intensely intoresting ‘There stood the white robed friar, Superior of the Order of the Domivicans, erst the republican deputy followin the revolution of 1548, and there, covered witi » of the Legion of Honor, stood the iu of him who once held the life of Napoloon th Third Ih Ke honda, and whee precipitate fail lifted the man Whom so might have guiliotined iuto his vooame throne.

There be was struck a great fact that co in China or Japan—the people were governed, in America he found a people governing themselves, aud dvlug €0 in such & manner as to be flourishing, rich, powerful, peaceful, industrious, —reapsct ed abroad, and each year increasing their territory. In the United States he beheld liberty and equality unit. ed, whercas in Europe he foresaw that the democratic principle was assuming a reckless character, and would ever tually give to the liberty which was springing up a wortal blow. He then conceived the idea of instructiag 1 ocracy of Europe by explaining to it the demo cy of America, and so intrbducing a new political Bci- ce He wrete, therefore, of America with the sagacity a philosopher and the feeling of a citizen. His book became illustrious in a moment, like a flash of lightning. ge, it might eeaid that the whole human race had waited for it, &c., & ; but my space forbids me to continue. One word as to the reply of M. Guizot, and I have done. “What would have happened, Monsiour,” (in the Academy allare on a footing of équallty, $04 therefore not Mousiear le Peri) “tf you and [ had met six huo dred ) cars back, and if we had each been called upon to influence our mutual destinies’ If we had then met, persons of my religious persuasion would hayd assailed you with indignation as an odi- ous persecutor, and you, ardent in inflaming the victors ugaibst heretics would have exclaimed Strike, strike al- wa God will know how to distinguish his own.” We are here, you and I, Monsieur, the living proofs and the happy witnesses of the sublime progress which has been sccomptished among vs in intelligence and respect of justice. No one any longer strikes down or ia strack down in the name of God, ‘M. Guizot gave a charming sketch of M. Eacordaire: his Grst preparation for the bar; bis great probability of success; his carelessness about honors; M. Ber- ryer’s opivion that the rich Imigination of the young ad. voocate would get him into trouble in judicial contests; M. Lacordawr's withdrawal fromthe bar'to the study of theology ; his success a8 a preacher, and bis renown as 4 lecturer on theological points, &e. Speaking of O'Connell, over whom Laerodaire had pro- nounced a funeral oration, M. Guizot said: ‘I had never seen Mr. O'Cosnell, and I was offered an opportunity of meeting him. We dined together with some members of the English Parliament and of the Cabinot. He came down and said: ‘This, sir, is a singular meeting, aud one which does’ honor to our times—you, a Protestant avd ambassador of the King of France, ani 1 a Catiolic and member of the English House of Com- inons. If you bad seen him, Mongieur, a8 | saw him oo that day, surrounded by the’ chiefs of a free government, who songbt, not without some embarrasement, his al- liance; if you had seen him, I say’, in that situation, you would, perhaps, kave added some’ additional touches to the picture you have drawn of him and bis career.” Referring to Italy he said:—‘We have seen Italy more than haifa century ago a prey to disturbances and. inya- sions similar to those which now prevail ;there; but then, at least, they appeared in their true character. A man who has enjoyed great popular renown, and whom the liberals calied their organ, in speaking O€ those acis designated them ag the spirit of usurpation aad of con quest, avd uncer that title has written a book to brand them with reprobation. Do the same facts no longer merit tbe same appellatiun? Have they changed their nature because it is no longer France who accomplishes them openly on her own account, and attributes to herself the fruits of them’ Democracy bas in our day a pas sion full of iusanity and of peril, It believes itself to be the whole of society; it wishes to dominate alone, and does not respect, does not recognise, any rights but itsown. Great and fatal mistake of the natural and necessary laws of human society! Whateyer may be the form of government— and in the midst of even the most tree,—various rights develope themselves and co-exiet some for the maintenance of order and social power, and others to guarantee public and individual Hberty; some placed inthe hands of princes, magistrates, and others under the guardianship of citizons—the mutual respect and simultaneous maintenance of those different rights form the safety, the durability, the honor, the very life of society.” Teannot help adding the next few words so interesting as they are at the present moment: — “When this respect and this harmony is wanting: when one of the great social rights alone lays hold of the em- pire and sets at naught, violates, or even abolishes the collateral ones; when democracy, for instance, thinks itself master—to chauge at its will governments, dynas- smd the relations and limite of States—it is not 'y, it is not progress, 1t is anarchy, or tyranny, and also foreign ambition; which profits by such dis- pera order: These are words of fire from so venerable and philo- sophic a statesman at the present hour. ‘To turn to other subjects:—On this day tho celebrated proeess comes on concerning the legitimacy of him who the Moniteur now calle Monsicur Jerome Bonaparte Pat- terson. ‘The feeling bas been so strong in his favor at the Paris bar that great difliculty was expsrienced in pro curing » barrister of real eminence to take the opposite side. The trial excites e0 great an interest that thou- sands will be disappointed of hearing it. Ainong other schemes for making capital of America’s diliculty is that of growing cotton’ in Algiers. Al! the world is mad about it, and nothing is talked of at Court bat Algiers becoming Manchester’s substitute in the cot- ton supply for America. The frost has broken up, but not before we had a grand skating by torchlight in ‘the Bois de Bologno. All the Court were present, The Emperor, the Empress and the little Prince were all shod with iron. The Empress and her hopeful were obliged to be towed, as was the Princess Clotilde, but the Emperor went hither and thither on the ice and fairly gave himself up, without ceremony, to the sport. ‘The little Prince has had his first fancy ball at the Princess Mathilde’, and astonished the world by select. ing for his partner a Ijttle flute player among the band with whose performance he was specially captivated. On the Princess Mathilde’s asking for his pate—hia little hand—the young gentleman sportively gave her his foot The Late Post Office Defalcation, UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT. Bofore Hon. Judge Betts. PTH Day, Kan. 11—T7he United States vs. Gustavus A, Conover.— At the sitting of the court this morning a letter was read from Doctor Griswold, stating that Mr. Keyser, one of the jurors in the present suit, was suffering from illness, which would render it dangerous te him to venture out. Counsel on both sides consented to goon with eleven jurors, and Mr. Gerard proceeded to sum up on the part of the government, contending that Law and Conover were strictly liable to the United States for the fulfil- ment of the conditions of the bond given for Isaac V_ Fowler. During the argument Judge Betts said-—As you are upon the subject, Mr. Gerard, you can explain how the department could know, at the time they issued their warrant of distress, that there was a balarice against Fowler. Mr. Gerard replied that it was not known until he had left, ‘and alluved to the Schuyler frauds and the disco- very of the defaleation of the Ocean Insurance Company, which had taken some of his earnings. (Laughter.) I don’t think you have answered his Honor’s question How the government found it out Mr. Gerard repiied that it was not koown until Mr, Fowler returned from the Charleston Convention, and left a note stating that he was a debtor. Mr. O'Conor—Where is the evidence of that in this case? Mr. Gerard—TIt waa a matter of public notoriety, and T was at Washington at the time. &Cocnsei then proceeded with his argument, and at its conclusion The Court adjourned till this day, when Mr. Charles O'Conor will close for the plaintiffs. Colonel Pet-r Washington, one of the counsel for Law and Conover, aud who was examined as a witnoss as to the handwriting of Horatio King, was Auditor of the Post Office Department under the Polk administration, ant Assistant Secretary of the Treasury under President Pioree.
