Logersoll, a fat Congressman from Illinois, is in the market for fame. Ho delivered an invective ‘speech againsi the Prosident in the House op Saturday, during the sivepy session, which surpassed in foolishuess anything yet pronounced, not excepting Thad Stevens’ fi mous attempt at irony. Mr. Ingersoll’ speoch excites cou siderable comment among his friends to-day, and le has beon importuned by them to expunge a few of its objec sionable paragraphs before it appears in the Glebe. The Fat Contributor will not yield. He dolivered the diatribe to create a sensation, and he has accomplished that pur- pose, The sensation, however, is of a different kind from that which he intended; something similar, in fact, to that created by his exhibition in front of the Speaker's table durmy the closing hours of last session—a sensation closely akin to disgust, Several republican members threaten (0 object next Friday to the motion for an orna- mental session on Saturday. THK MERUHANTS’ NATIONAL BANK SUSPENSION has been the subject uppermost in the gossip of the past few days We learn the following facts in regard to the government's connection with the affair, gathered from responsible sources;—The account of Paymaster Pauld ing originated by a draft on the Treasury for two hun- dred and fifty thousand dollars, and subsequently op othor drafis amounting in the aggregate to six bundred and fifty thousand dollars. Having money on deposit at Kichmond and no occasion to use it there, three hundred and twenty thousand dollars im two drafts was also transferred and deposited in the Merchants’ National Bank, against which from time totime drafts were drawn to meet the disbutsements of the office. Last week pe officers of the bank requesied the transfer of two hundred thousand dollars from the First National Bank of this city, which was declined, The Cashier of the Iatter bank is alleged to have recommended such action, sta'ing that the deposit would enablo the Mer- chants’ National Bank to get through, and that the best way (o save the three hundred thousand dollars still re: maining undrawn would be to put in the two bundred thoasand dollars; but this reasoning was not looked upon as suflicient to risk five hundred thousand dollars. As the matter now stands Bayue & Co., of Baltimore, have made an assignment, preferring the suspended bank to the amount of two hundred thousand doliars, md have given the remainder of their assets to be dis+ tributed pro rata among the balance of their creditors. Vhe value of their assets ts not positively known, but ix variously estimated at from two bundred and Ofty w three hundred and fifty thousand dol- sara, It is also asserted that several of the departments, the Post Office and Interior, had sums deposited in the same bank. Major Paulding lias requested @ court of inquiry to examine into the aflwir, He has been chief disbursing officer bere during ‘he greater portion of the war, and bas expended on ac- «dont of the government hundreds of millions of dollars. (t may be added that the Merchants’ National Bank was ‘an authorized public depositary, otherwise the Treasury would not have given the money. NKGOTIATIONS FOR THE PURCHASE OF LOWKR CALI- FORA. It ts stated that a negotiation of considerable magni- tude has just been concluded with the Mexican Minister here which involves the cession to certain leading Ame- rican oap.taliats of pearly the entire peninsula of Lower California for colonization purposes and to secure the development of the extraordinary mineral wealth of that territory. The Mexican government retains an interest in the proceeds fof the enterprise; but it is understood that the yum advanced by the parties who have secured the grant is upwards of amuliion of dollars, which at this time will be of important service to the liberal canse, The names of the following gentlemen appear in the conveyance as holding the privileges in trust for tho parties :-—Jacob P. Lease, Benjamin F. Butler, John Anderson, George Wilkes, William G, Fargo, William R. Travers, 3. 1. M.

CIRCULAK FROM THE INTERNAL BRVENUTE OF! KELATIVE TO BROKERS’ SALBS. The following circular bas just been issued after the most caretul consideration :— Treasery Deranrennt, Ovnice ov we lvrensan Wasnrsotox, May 5, 1566.

MBMOBIAL IN FAVOR OF A GENERAL INSUBANCE LAW. ‘A memorial has been sont to Congress asking for thé passage of a general insurance law, by which companies may deposit with tho United States Treasurer government bonds covering the extent of their obligations or amount of capital, fin order to secure the insurance, a ¢in the caso of national banking incorporations. It {s claimed that the operation of such a law would give to the really sol- vent companies the public confidence to which they are entitled.

Senator Cowan has returned from a brief visit to Penn. sylvania, Governor Fairchild, of Wisconsin, will wave here to-morrow, en route home via Philadelphia. CONGRESSIONAL MANUAL. It will be interesting to tho politicians of the country to learn that at the request of a number of public men of both gpartics the Clerk of the House of Representatives is now engaged in preparing a political manual, to con- tain the leading political speoches, messages, prociama- tious, orders and vetoes which have been issued since the accession of President Johnson, It will be publisued, m+ mediately after the adjournment of Congress. THK METROPOLITAN ENTERTAINMENTS. The city theatres were well supported during the past week, nothwithstanding the daily increasing attractions of all outdoor sports, owing to the gradual advance of fine weather, and the growing popularity of tho concert rooms. The best evidence that the entertainments were attractive to the patrons of these establishments is to be found in the fact that our most enterprizing and spirited managers deem it unnecessary to make any de- cided change in their programmes, which, so far as pres- ent appearances indicate, will remain unaltered tho six days now eusuing. BROADWAY THEATRE. Miss Adah Isaac Menken enters the second weok of her limited engagement at the Broadway this evening she personates Mazeppa in the equestrian spoctacie on- titled Mazeppa, or the Wild Hote of Tartary. Miss Menken's appearance attracted very considerable atten- tion during the past week, and she is quite likely to re- vive and sustain on this side of the Atlantic the eclat which she won at Astley’s, London. The lady is sup- ported by the numerous company engaged at the Broad- way, the members being set down in the cast as Poles and Tartare, The champion steed, Black Bess, the wild horse, constitutes quite an animated feature of the dis- play.

Green, and the Great Bond Robbery, of the Skeleton Witness, have proved a success and are continued on the billy. The entertainments conclude with the farce of the Black Statue, with Jake, a “mur, therous darkey,"’ by George Christy. SRY ANT'S MINSTRELS. Tho Bryants, at Mechanics’ Hall, Broadway, have arranged a very funny burlesque of Mazeppa, with Ma zeppa introducing his wonderful bare-backed act, by Dan Bryant, and “ Other Mazeppas," by Reed, Seymour, Emmett and Neil Bryant. The programme is inter. apersed with many other good things. SAN FRANCISCO MINSTRELS. The San Francisco Minstrel Company, at No. 686 Broadway, still presents the favorite Ethiopian coun- teuances of Messrs. Birch, Wambold, Bernard and Backus, “Mazeppa, a la Menken,” is in burlesque at their hall, with other pieces, which appear to have heen sotully endorsed by the public that they may be re- garded as standafd attractions. HOOLEY’S OPERA HOUSE, BROOKLYN. The engagement or Charley White, the veteran min strel, is said to have proved « good hit for Hoomy, Mr. White appears every evening, with Mossrs. Purdy, Veil, Raiph, Charios, Girard and Church in a new programme. MAGGIE MITCHELL IN BROOKLYN.

Adam de Gurowskt, a sort of Americanized Thadous of Warsaw, with the addition of a fow eccentricities and the absence of some of the mock sentimentality of Miss Porter's hero, died at Washington on Friday last, and his funeral took place yesterday afternoon. It was largely attended. Chief Justice Chase, Secretary Stanton, Vice Presid:nt Foster, Senators Trumbull, Sumner, Wile son and @ large number of Congressmen were present, Baron Stoockl, the Russian Minister; Senor Tassara, the Spanish Minister; Senator Wade, Governor Boutwell, Hiram Barney, J. Hubley Ashton, Assistant Attornoy General; ex-Mayor Berrett and Mr. Rbyner acted as pall- bearers. Rov. Dr. Pierpont delivered the sermon, The remains were deposited in the Georgetown Cemetery. In many respects the Count was a remarkable individual, and bis career and character are equally interesting He was born in Kalisz, Poland, September 10, 1805, and was the son of Count Ladisias Gurowski, who was an ardent admirer and follower of Kosciusko in 1704, and who became impoverished through the failure of the insurrection of that year. Tho fate of his father dues ‘not seem to have intimidated young Gurowski, who, as a school boy at Warsaw, and in bis native palatine, Kalisz, had the habit of expressing himself ax freely as in his later days in this country. Ho was born a critic, and a caustic critic at that, though his opinions were mare influenced by the state of his blood than tho clear- ness of his brain, In youth his hot blood was fired with Jove of Poland, just asin after years he became an ar- dent friend of the Russian serfs, and wrote books upon Pauslavism, advocating a union of ull nations speaking the Slavic language, and just as in this country during the war ho became imbuod with abolition ideas, and wrote diaries abusing everybody who did not agree with him, and praising everybody who proposed to fight the war out with ‘proclamations of frecdom."’ His hot blood only involved him in libel suits in this country, but im Poland he fared worse, For wearing the national costume of Poland and singing certain patriouc but pro- hibited songs he was a'rested in 1819 by the Grand Duke etantine, and sent out of the and, singular enough, did mot write a book abusing the Grand Duke aud all Russia, but shut uimself up for study in the German University at Berlin until 1825. He was permitied on his graduation to retarn to Poland, but the Grand Duke had a great deal of difficulty with him; for his ardor, hot blood and Franco-German brain continually led Gurowski into difficulties, — He de- voted himsel: to the work of opposing Russian influence in Polish social and political circles, and made bim- self equally conspicuous and obnoxious, After being lightly punished several times for these offences he took courage, went « step further, and in 1530 and 1831 engaged quite conspicuously in the insurrection which then took place. ‘The insurrection was briof and “failure, and Gurowski, with others, was death; but having been sent before the sup the insurrection as an envoy to Lafayette and t French republican frieuds of Poland, he was safely out of the country, and so wisely remained at Pars as an exile for several years. While here he appeared to have forgotten Poland for a time, and at first to have become fascinated with the French school of politicians known as the St. Simonians, and who, perhaps, as much from nece ‘as conviction, looked upon a bankrupt law asthe great palladiam of liberty, and the only hope of the embarrassed commer- cial cinsses, His passion for this phase of commercial science did not last long; for having met Charles Fourier about the time that tha ‘ntric individual lampooned, ridiculed and abused the St. Simon: Robert Owen for their ideas ou commerce, Gurowski adopted bis views and became a strong though temporary advocate of fan Fourierism. This fancy too soon died out, and his attention having been again attractod to Poland and Rurwin xome political movements of the Czar Nicholas, Gurowski— wrote -a book upon Pauslavisin, calling it “Tho Trath About Russ It attrected but littie public attention; but, fortanately for Gurowski, it was read and admired by the Czar, who par doned him, recalled him to St. Petersburg and gave him employment in several responsible positions. ‘The rest leas nature of tho man soon got Min, into trouble again. The critic would crop out on all he said and did, partica larly im what he wrote; and write he would. What was still worse, he would ‘publish. He did not write diaries in Rossin in 1841 as he did in Ameri¢a in 1861, but his books on * The Civilization of Russia” and the’ “Future of the Poles” are fall of personalities, as were bis diaries. ‘They have a different way of doing things im Buxsia, and mustend of prosacnted for libel by the chief clork of the State Department, as he was in this country, Gurowski was persecuted by the offended imdividuais, and obliged to leave the country for Germany. Gu: rowulk pats it very quietly that be was obliged so taken “tour through Belgium,” and so wrote a book about that country, to which he gave the title of ‘My Tour Through Beigiam.’! Se ‘iti fi poor mt been gradually drifting towards Bohemia from the moment be had mot Fourier, On his flight from Russia he may bs said to have entered upon the disreputable and dissolute Life of @ Bohetnian. He turned his attention to lecturing ‘and to “dining out,” and spent four years iy wandering about Germany, France and Italy. One day he suddenly met at Rome with @ party of Boston headed, we believe, by Theodore Parker, and, after listen- ing to their rhapsodies (or half an hour, beeame at once a thorough advocate of that political creed. Ew lost its charms for him, and in 1849 he sailed for Ame- rica, and immediately joined the amalgamized Bohe- mian-abolition-Fourierite circles of this city. Here for some yoars he existed—not to say lived—from hand © mouth, engaged principally in expressing French {dens on American finances, and indulging in Bis inevita- ree. . ‘agitation of the omancipation question in Russia and the adverse circumstances which about 1850-'62 prevented the Czar Nicholas from taking, as he posed, the steps which his successor a decade quently advanced in freeing the sgrts, gave Guroweki an nity to write er book on Kus sia It was published in 1854, and was called “Rusia As It Ts." It was coos, and the Czar did not this time recail the mian. In 1860 1861 the Count was employed as a translator in t! State Department at Washington, and it war from his desk here that he dated hie remarkable series of diaries on the of the war and the characters of our publ and men. It is these which have made him known to the American public. They seem to have been published to gratify the vanity of the author, who them to the world as a proof of his great for sight— 6 really believed that he possessed in a greater degree than any living man that knowledge of the future which ali wise and experienced men may be said to have in some measure; and his books were to him prophectes, if not as inspired, certainly as accurate as those of John the Evangelist, or Robach, the astrologist. He had some considerable degree the facuity of roading chara ter, and some of his expressions regarding (he men sin admirable and amusing. ber, 1862, in calling General Halleck ‘‘n redtapist and a sinall pettifogger pe ghor to be even a Lanna ap remlatpenea .

The religion that robs our fellow man of his right and then pretends to make it up by schools and teaching violates tho first principle of natare and religion, No- thing \#\vo shameful for a government that culls itself re pal and yet submits (odespotism. Represeutation ix as sacred as the night of ty, and far more nataral, Decause men are born with the one and mot with the other. Heeause you have the right ta vote you have no night tw deprive your neighbor of that right, It is said why not jet women and children vote? Because all are inetuded in the father of the family. This is a Bible principle. Common sense gives the answer to it.
