THE WINCHELL RASCALITY. {From the Springfield Republican, April 25.) Mr. Winchell’s disappearance and his supposed de- faication were —— the talk of the town, Most of the people whom he has victimized obtained their first ini ation of the fact from the Republican, and @ good many who are losers keep quiet about it, so that the full extent of his de lations on private purses is not known. Facts already at hand, how- ever, show that the total must far exceed $20,000, No r30n Whom we have heard of is @ heavier loser than . Winchell’s wife, who is, by the way, @ most estl- mable lady, and in no-way to blame for the family differences to which we alluded yesterday. Mrs. Winchell is a cousin of Vice President Hamlin.

Wasuinoron, April 25, 1868. algo stated that there was no mention made of the matter in the Cabinet and that the President acted in the matter on his own responsibility, The language said to have been used by the Presi- dent in the message to the Senate nominating John M. Schofleld to be Secretary of War has created @ good deal of goasip here. to-day. The nomination itself took everybody by surprise, as nothing that could give the slightest intimation of the President’s intentions in this respect has hitherto transpired. The consultations between the Président and General Schofield occurred at times when it was most unlikely that the meetings could become known to the public, and it having been understood that General Schofield’s visit to Washington was intended to be for but a few hours, and that his business was with General Grant in reference to certain charges preferred against him by ex-Governor Pierpont, all contributed to prevent suspicion of another move- ment being in operation at the White House to shake off Mr. Stanton. Several newspapers publish what purports to be a copy of the Président’s nomination of Schofield, in which the President is made to say that John M. Schofleld was nominated for the office of Secretary for the Department of War, vice Edwin M. Stanton, to be removed. As this version of the message would signify that the President recognizes Stanton as still Secretary of War and totally ignores ad interim Thomas, its publication has caused something of a sensation. This statement, however, was not denied at the White House yesterday morning, and it was there asserted on the best authority that the mes- sage read “vice Edwin M. Stanton, removed,” It is said to-day by those who have excellent oppor- tunities to be well informed that this nomination of Schofield is the resuit of an arrangement made by General Grant, for the purpose of reaching a harmo- nious solution of the War Department imbroglio; and that it meets the approbation of Mr. Stanton, who, it is sald, is willing to resign his position if General Schofield is confirmed by the Senate. Whether there be any truth in this rumor cr not it is comfirmed to some extent by the sudden disappearrnce of all fears on the part of Mr. Stanton that there ts still plotting going on to get possession of the War Department; for within the past two or three days that em- inently patriotic and self-sacrificing individual hag been in the habit of leaving the Department in charge of the guard and going home to sleep in his bed and take his meals in peace and comfort at his family table. Taking everything into consideration, there is a strong probability that the long vexed question of who is Secretary of War is in a fair way to be peaceably and definitely settled, whatever may be the effect of the compromise upon the impeachment verdict, Inspection of the Garrison at Washington. Major General Hancock and Brevet Major General Emory yesterday afternoon made a thorough inspec- tion of all the troops comprising the garrison of ‘Washington, and after the inspection called upon Mr. Stanton at the War Department. Treasury Circular Regarding the Reserve Funds of the National Banks. The following circular in regard to the reserve that national banks are required by law to keep on hand to secure circulation has just been issued by the Comptroller of tte Currency:— TREASURY DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF COMPTEOLLER OF THE CURKENCY, W ASHINGTONS April 25, 1868. Numerous inquiries having received at this office as to what may constitute the lawful money reserve required by Gey oy td and thirty-two of the National Currency act, and it apeetias, that there is some misunderstanding on the subject, the following circular is published for the information and guidance of the national banks:- RESERVE OF BANKS LOCATED IN THE CITIES NAMED IN THE ACT. I, National banks located in the cities named in sec- tion 31 of the National Currency act (approved June 3, 1864,) are required by law to keep as a reserve 25 per cent of the aggregate amount of their deposits and outstanding circulation, national and State, two-fifths of which 25 per cent must consist of lawful money of the United States—that is, two-fifths of 25 per cent of the outstanding circulation must consist of plain legal tender notes or specie, and two-fifths of 25 per cent of the aggregate amount of Ney ee may consist of com- pound interest notes or plain legal tender notes and specie, as the banks may prefer. The whole of this two-fifths of 25 per cent must be kept on hand in the vaults of the banks, The remaining three-fifths of Gq cent may be constituted p« CU WEY the "Ctilig smoot inj lation in N selected with the aj proval of the Comp- the Currency, and the difference between reserve of 26 per — - aM8 trom any hiioadt York a troller this one-half and the two-fifths in the vaults of the consist of three rae cent certificates, or the whole of the three-fliths of 26 per cent may consist of three per cent certificates or legal tender notes and specie, or of Clearing House certificates, pay ‘able in lawful money, or of any combination of these; or, if the bank juficient of any or all of the above items to make the reserve required for its outstanding circu- lation, all or any part of the three-fifths .of 25 per cent required for its deposits may pound interest notes, which, by the terms of the law authorizing their issue (act approved June 30, 1864,) are not @ legal tender in redemption of any notes issued by any banking association calcula or in- tended to circulate as money. Butno part of the two- fifths of 26 per cent be to be kept on hand in law- ful money can consist of the three per cent certifi- cates, because the law authorizing their issue and use as reserved (act approved March 2, 1867) requires that two-fifths of 26 per cent shall consist of lawful money—that ts, of United States legal tender notes or specie.

H. R, HULBURD, Comptroller of the Currency. Report of the Secretary of the aie ou the Sale of Government Securities. Secretary McCulloch, in reply to @ resolution of the House, directing him to report om the subject of the amount of commissions paid for the sale and disposal of United States bonds and securities, &c., says among other things :— It will be seen by Mr, Foasenden’s |etter of Janu- ary 28, 1865, that having failed in seven-thirty notes as rapki pert dsemed of Jay Cooke to jularize the loan, aud to this em to increase the Cohumisston from one-half per cent, which had been allowed to the banks and @eneral agencies, to three-yaarters of one pot consist of com- expressly motiating the i iy 04 te econ oy at Fequired, through the instrument banks ‘and ‘oth vncies, Ne er general The Nomination of General Schofield as Secretary of War. A Washington despatch to the Evening Telegram Says that it is stated that General Schofleld had no previous knowledge of the President’s intention to send in his name as Secretary of War, and his friends here say he will not accept the appointment. It is {Washington correspondence (April 19) of the Chicago Times, democratic.) The pressure (of radical Governors, &c.,) has had bank (that is, one-tenth of the whole reserve) may | {ts effect, and several Senators have been compelled Hecessary to avatl himself of the pape i cent on the first fifty millions, and five-cighths of one percent onthe next fifty millions. fun understood, however,that this increase of commission was not toenure to the benefit of Mr. Cooke, inas- much ag he was directed to aliow to sub-agents and others the same rates of commissions that had been allowed to them and to pay ali the expenses of ne- gotiating the notes. This arrangement was con- tinued on a larger scale by the present Secretary. Bon ot apt Will be noticed by the schedules of sales of seven-thirty notes that the commissions Paid to some subscribers were higher than those aid to others. The explanation of this fact is that in order to induce large subscriptions one-half of one per cent was allowed by the department as well as by Mr. Cooke to those subscribing for $1,000,000 and upwards, and from one sige \o three-eighths of one percent to those making smaller subscrip- tions, It is not too much to say that the popular- izing and successful negotiation of the loan, as wellas that of the five-twenty loan, saved the overnment many millions of dollars.

The Frigate Sabine and the Connecticut Election, The Secretary of the Navy, in a reply to a resolu- tion “of the House, says:—“Had the Department ordered the Sabine to leave New London a day or two preceding the election when no special necessity required it, injustice might have been done to some of the men and the department been subject to censure, for there are some men on the Sabine who are voters and who would have been deprived of their vote or put to considerable expense to return if the vessel had left before the 6th instant, In further response he says that no correspondence has passed between the Navy Department and Hon. Frederick L. Allen and Hon. James Dixon, the dem- ocratic town committee of New London, or any other person or persons, in regard to this subject. The Secretary also presenta the economical view of the question, and concludes by saying that the Sabine has not yet been ordered out of commission as repre- sented in the preamble to the resolution, although she soon will be, and the men and apprentices be transferred to other vessels.

On gon night a sort of caucus was held, and it was resolved that the majority should “take the bit in its mouth” and exclude any further evidence relied on by the defence to show the intent of the President. As many of the radical Sena- tors as could be got to stultify themselves ? voting directly opposite to the way in which they had voted from the commencement were to 80 vote, and those who still desire to keep up a show of appearing to be in favor of the admission of be were to be allowed to “dodge.” Among the “dodgers” yesterday you will find Morton, Sumner and Conkling. ‘The two latter sat in their seats, but did not vote every time. In fact, Sumner dodged every vote. The former stald away. Now, Morton was the Senator who very forcibly protested against the exclusion of General Sherman’s testi- mony. He declared to his brother radicals that the republicans of his State would not dare go to the people if that testimony was exciuded, and it was — owing to his earnest protestations that eneral Sherman's testimo: next day, by the reversal by the Senate of its former decis! But the other radical Sena- tors responded that if the testimony were admitted the case against the President had nothing to stand upon. And so the Senators found themselves placed in a dilemma. If they excluded Sherman’s test! —— against them. If they ad- mitted it the President ought in justice to be ac- quitted. So they compromised the difficulty by gre to let in as little of it as possible, Buteven this little that was admitted alarmed the radicals in various parts of the country.

Trial of George W. Cole for the Murder of L. Harris Hiscock at Albany—Continantion of the Testimony for the Defence. ALBANY, April 25, 1998, The court met at ten o'clock and resumed the ex- amination of witnesses for the defence, Mrs. Elizabeth Wyman, of Syracuse, testified that she and her mother boarded at the Jarvis House last June; knew General Cole by sight; knew Mra, Cole very slightly; they came to board at the Jarvis House on the 1st of May, 1867; thelr room was on the same floor as mine; did not see him on the Sunday before the nomicide; saw him on Monday at dinner; he came to the table with one or both of his danghters; his wife was not with him; he did not eat any dinner; his singular appearance attracted my attention; his manner was agitated; his face was red; hia eyes were blurred, and I noticed exceeding carelessness in his dress; to give a general idea I supposed he had veen drinking; that he wae under the influence of liquor; when he took bis seat he folded his arms and leaned upon the table; he appeared indifferent to around him; his daughter spoke to him to ention to the condition of his hair, which out of order; he remained at table ten or inutes; he left the table aud went out of the dining room alone; had not heard of the trouble in his fainily at that time; his walk in coming in and going out was firm, without staggering; his expres- sion of countenaree was horrid. On cross-examination witness said she hed first met General Cole at a bazaar for the benefit of the Presby- rian church, at which the General appeared in In- dian costume; this wasin February, is67, Witness was subj to @ severe cross-examination, but het evidence remained anshaken, Mrs. Harriet Lee, mother of the last witness, testi- fled that her daughter called her attention to the ap- earance of General Cole at dinner on the day men- joned. She corroborated the evidence of her daugh- ter in very gecuouian, no new facts being elicited. Rowland M. Hall, of New York, testified that he was a captain in the Third New York cavalry, and knew General Cole; met the General atthe close of May, 1967, near French’s hotel; noticed something strange and wild in his face, different from what he had ever seen before—an unsettied, pre dark look; nothing was said to cause pearance; it struck witness very forclyi ‘was within @ week before the hotniciie, Lieutenant James 0, Hutchinson, U. 5.

Amos B, Smith, of Geneva, N. Y., sworu—Hadt known General Cole from childhood; had studied in witness’ onice and at the Geneva Medical College; knew Miss Mary Barto; would class Cole as of ® hervous, sanguine temperament, ardent, impulsive and acting with great quickness, with a kindly dis- penicn vowards others; knows the family of General at knows of one instance of insanity in the family, his sister, Miss Martha Cole; attended her profession- ally during the time General Cole was in my oflce, about 1850, / On cross-examination the witness said that the in- S&nity of Coles’ sister was what physicians would call hypochondria; her case was a determined and fixed impression on her mind that she was possessed of an incurable and fatal disease which no assur- ances or statembnts could remove; she was sulfering from nervous prostration; visited her twice; saw her afterwards, but can’t state when or where or whether she recovered or not. Edmund P. Cole, a nephew of the prisoner, sworn— I saw General Cole én the Monday afternoon pre- vious to the homicide at his room in the Jarvis House; Mrs. Cole, the two childten and Mrs, Cuyler were present; the General said he did not feel very well; he shook me by the hand very nervousiy; looked sad, his eyes wild, had a wild expression and a nervous twitching of the muscles; he said he was going away next day and going to take Mary, iis wife, with him to Brooklyn; he sat on a clair with his hands behind his head, apparently looking steadily at one spot on the floor, and answered in w nervous, twitching manner; he then jumped up, made some remarks about his head and went inio another room. Dr. J. Marcus Rice, of Worcester, Mass., sworn— Was surgeon; witness detailed the injuries reccived by General Cole, and minutely stated the Gene mental and physical condition from the time he re- ceived his tujuries, until the day of the homicide. Mr. Brady, one of the counsel for prisoner, asi the witness what he would say as to the conditioa of his mind, whether sound or unsound. Witness copies that he would say he was of an- sound mind, ra to insanity of the kind called melancholia; if the injuries were uot healed or cured the tendency to melancholia would increase, and & rson so affected, on being suddenly excited, would ecome subject to what is called “an insane im. pulse;” a person afflicted with melanciolia 1s gener- ally indifferent as to whether he lives or dies ; am insane impulse is more likely to occur where insaniy has been hereditary. The court then took a recess till half-past three o'clock. On the reassembilng of the court Dr. Rice was cross-examined at considerable length by Mr. Tre- main, but nothing new was elicited, Wivliam A, Hammond, sworn and examined by Mr, Brady—Have been a Riya since 1849; grad d at University of New York; entered the army in 1849, remained until 1860, when I resigned to accept the Pecapeerin 2 of phsycology and anatomy at the Maryiand University; was Surgeon General of the United States army; have been pro- fessor of diseases of the mind at Bellevue Hospital, New York; have given attention to diseases of the mind and nervous system for ten or twelve years, and entirely so for four years past; have examined ten thousand to fifteen thousand in Europe and the United States; I mean I have inspected that number, iving more or leas attention to the case; lieard your air. rady’s) question to Dr. Rice; remembered perfectly; think from the facts stated he was of un- sound mind; I characterize it as melancholia; I think the most decided of all the falters in his case was his (prisoner’s) change of character; regard that of itself as a very suspicious circumstance in any man’s career; also the fact of the symptoms coming on after his injury, whioh I think involved both his brain and spinal chord (witness explained the con- mection between his spinal chord, brain and nervous ‘system), and other complaints would tend to aggre- gate his mental disorder; the condition of meian- choly is that form of temperament which predisposes to melancholica; it is ditticult to define the boundary line. The witness various causes of meian- cholia. In my view of General Coles’ condition the announcement of an injury to his honor, love or vi piness would certainly tend to aggravate his condi- tion. Q. In the condition in which he was as here stated, and in the light of this homicide, what 1s your opinion as to General Cole's mental condition When this act was done? A. I can only say that on the sudden reception of intelligence Calculated to create great emotion his condition would be aggra- vated; I should not think General Cole in a sane state of mind, if all the facts as stated are true; ninety-nine out of a hundred would have their mental condition aggravated; a man of stroug sensibilities would be more affected than might be a person who would care nothing about such things; delusion is, perhaps the most important test of tnsan- ity, but not an infallible one; never saw an instance in which the insane Lmpulse went as far asthe taking of life, Q. Can insanity suddenly arise from wounded pride, revenge or jealousy ¢ Objection Was tace and sustained. Witness nefe described causes and symptoms of moral Insanity, Insanity is very often hereditary. it i stronger generally in the first generation than in subsequent ones. Witness described tie nature and symptoms of melancholia, I would not cail the homicide on insane on feet but temporary insanity. If General Cole had only the insane {m- nulge h¢ would have been as likely to kill tie bar- tender as Mr, Hiscock. Melancholia does lead to acts of violence or murdef.
