T. papers the Government is belnp; cheated by scores of million!, with perfect impunity i and it would socra far better to abolish the whiskey tax altogether than to make it id this way the meana of corrupting nearly all who are connected with it. No wonder we hear of the colossal fortunes piled up sud donly in New York, when by hundreds of thousands the Government is cheated out rf millions by these rogues. Nothing can be done to correct these vast frauds, where ncn can afford to bribe so heavily. Only nixtj-five out of ninety-four made any ra turns at all in August. Ths seventy-two who were running on the first of August wcro able to distill on the average about 0,000 gallons a day, and should have paid a tax of $510,000 during the month ; while the whole tas returned by the Assessor, and collected by the Collector, from the whole 94 for the month, was only $7,330.10 1 The whole amount nf tax received by th Government during the three summer month was only (21,613, while a low estimate o1 what it should have been fixes that amount for the three months at $1,225,000, making the loss to the Government in one District during these three months, of at least f 1, .1200,000; and this loss wag just as plain to be seen by the Government officials then as it is now. Does any one wonder that whisky lias been steadily sold in New York for less than the Government tax! tif Bible Statistics. It has been as certained by several curious individuals, as will be seen by an article on our first page, that the entire Bible contains 81175 verses, or 774,602 words. In order to disabuse the minds of some who imagine that the perusal of the sacred volume is a work of prodigious labor, we make the following calculations An ordinarily good reader can easily read two hundred words per minute, or twelve thousand words in an hour. At this rate the Bible can be read through in sixty-four hours, or in 8 days, of 8 hours each. But as that might bo deemed a hard week's work two hours per day for one month, or thirty minutes per day for four months, would ac complish the same thing. Thus it will be seen tlmt by reading a half hour each day. the Bible may be read through three times in a year. But as the sacred book should not only be read, but studied, its careful perusal once in a year would, no doubt, be deemed a performance of more than ordinary charac ter. 3rJ Impeachment of tue President. The resolution offered in Congress for the impeachment ot the President caused no little excitement, although euch a proceeding was not unexpected. Wo do not believe that the President will bo put on trial. number of the leading Republican journals and members of Congress, while they declare that the President deserves impeachment would rather bear with him during his term than resort to such extreme measures. ff The receipts of the New York Tri lune, for the first week of January 1807, for advertising, subscription &c, amounted to (02,809 20, or more than $10,000 per day. The Tribune establishment is one of the great powers, and combines more talent labor and information than any paper in the world. Btate Theascbeii's ItEronT. The An cual Report of State Treasurer Kemble shows a satisfactory condition of the State finances. The receipts for the past year have been $0,839,008.54, all from ordinary sources, ex cepting $007,574.35 refunded by the General Government, and $100,000 received from the Pennsylvania Railroad Company on account of indebtedness. The expenditures during the year have been $0,402,803.41, as follows: for ordinary expenses $4,097,044.42 ; $497, C08.70 for the Chambersburg sufferers, and $1,807,050.25 for the liquidation of the debt. Among the ordinary expenses is included the amcunt of the Ctianibersburg sufferers. The Treasurer says that the Act of last Legislature authorizing the payment of pen sions to the soldiers of the war of 1812 cost the State much more than was anticipated, over 2800 claims having been already re ceived, involving a disbursement exceeding $100,000. He recommends that the law be repealed, holding that the paying of pensions should be done by the general Government. The officer complains of the negligence of the local assessors in procuring returns of monies on interest. In the first, fourth, six teenth, seventeenth and eighteenth wards of ' Philadelphia, there is no such return made, nud the same is truo of other districts in the Btate. The amount of tax paid by this source during the year is about $300,000, lie recommends that the state tax on per sonal property be dispensed with, and in lieu thereof, each county be required to pay into the State 1 reasurer, forty cents on each tax able inhabitant. lie 'believes that the State debt can be reduced hereafter without increasing the burden of taxation, at the rate of about three millions ot dollars per annum, which would in a very few years liquidate our entire State Indebtedness. State ScnooL Report. The report of the Superintendent of Common Schools of Pennsylvania gives the followiug statistics for the school year ot JBUO 00, as follows There were in that year 1803 school districts in the State, 18.140 schools, 16.141 teachers, and 725.813 pupils, with an average attend' anee of 478.006. The total cost of the school system for the entire State, includiug taxes levied and State appropriations, was for the year $4,195,258.57. The increase in the number of school districts was 20, in the number of ichooU, 222, in the cumber of children attending school, 19.932, in the average attendance at school, 18.940, and in the total cost of the system, $581,020.02. Not including Philadelphia, the iucrease in the per cantata of attendance was 1003 : in the average length of term, one day ; in the average cost of tuition per month, four cents: In the number of male teachers, 493 ; in the number of female teachers, 62; in the salaries of male teachers, $2.53 ; In the salaries of fe male teachers, $3.10 1 in the cost of tuition, : 32U.74S.07 la tae cost or juei and cod tin Kencies, $48,071.85, and in purchasing grounds, building, renting aad repairing . nouses, f xiu.suv.i v Kx-Alderman L W.

Tress til Harrtehaeg Telegraph . t TO THE PEOPI.K OF FJENaSYIa AiIAa ball fbo Majority Rail WItfcl the ttrpabllcan Hnrljr mm It Ioe TlirougUont the Republic 7 It is not necessary for us to remind the people of Pennsylvania that a great struggle Ma been in progress both beiore and since the meeting of the Legislature for the occu pancy of the seat in the United States Sen ate, to be vacated by Cowan, the renegade, March 4, 1807. The faction contending for Senatorial honors for its leader, which nas made the most noise, now proves itself the weaker party when confronted by the Repre sentatives of the people We now appeal to the great Republican masses 01 tne Btate in sunnort of the truth of history. It is a his torical fact that the friends of Gov. Curtin, before the meeting of the Republican noml nation conventions throughout the State, and after the nominations of the party bad been made in the different counties, frequently ana nersistentlv ieouardized our Doliticn! harmo ny by their indecent pressure of the Senaio rial question, iiie mends 01 other candi dates, with a singular unanimity, agreed as to the impolicy of agitating the Senatorial question until alter we had alt contributed to the success of the party, until after we had won a victory at the ballot box for our principles. 1 his la historical. Neither did Gen. Cameron, Tbaddeus Stevens, Jno. W. Forney or Galusba A. Grow seek, in any part of the State, during the stern struggle of the last campaign, to Ignore the importance of the election of Gen. Geary by intruding their own aspirations for the Senatorship. The mends of Gen. Cameron, at all times and in all places, during that campaign, were first most anxious fur a victory for the nartv be fore they asked for the bestowal of any honors. We defy any man in the State to deny this assertion, it is as true as are the principles by which Gen. Simou Cameron has stood all his life. Since the election, Gen. Cameron and his friends have been at work. They labored under the disadvan tage of being compelled to go over ground traversed by the euimies or Uen. Cameron ; but they did not hesitate to order his cause before the people to discuss it in open day light beiore the chosen Representatives or the people, and what has been the result t We answer, that the victory which Simon Cameron has just won, in a contest before the Representatives of his party, is as deci sive and as brilliant as that which he so ably assisted Gen. Geary to win at the ballot-box, and Wetter Clymtr might at well come to Harriiiburg on the day of the inaugu ration and contest, fur the Gubernatorial chair, at for the weaker candidate Jorthe Republican nomination for U. S. Senatorthip longer to contest with Simon Cameron for that honor. Every step thus far in the proceedings of the Legislature every act of the Republicant in caucus the opinions of our ablest men in the Senate and House the iudgement of those who help to win our political victories, and the preferences of the men who promote the industrial welfare of the State, have indicated, in the most emphatic manner, that Simon Cameron is the choice for U. S. Senator of the Republican party of Pennsyl vania, He has more votes honestly pledged to him than any two other candidates for the Senatorship. Ho has demonstrated, to the satisfaction of all fair-minded Republi cans, that ho is the strongest man in the Republican party. A majority of Republi can Senators and Representatives do not hesitate to avow their preferences for him and are ready to go back to their constitu ents and answer for their course. Could anything be more honorable in the attitude of a great man and the course of his friends t Certuiuly not And at this point the ques tion suggests itself whether the candidates for the benatorship clearly in the minority will not be held responsible for the har mony, will not be made accountable for refu ting to obey the will of a majority of their party friendi, at a time when on our com pact organization rest not only the largest interests of the people of the Keystone State, but tue dearest hopes of the people ot the Uuion. Gee. Cameron's friends ask only for what is fair at the hands of the friends of other candidates. They do not ask any man to sacrifice himself in behalf of their preference, and now they can justly claim that the same men do not sacrifice the interests of the party in behalf of their preferences. During the election for mem bers of tlie Legislature, Gen. Cameron's friends showed that their first object was for the good of the Republican party, to secure its victory and establish its principles, His friends now ask their political brethren to display the same high regard for the or ganization of the party, by entering the Re publican caucus on Thursday evening next, and making Simon Cameron s nomination for the U. 8. Senate unanimous. There is nothing' illiberal in this claim. It is sup ported yy thri majesty 01 a ioir majority. n is justified by a high regard for the har mony or the party. It is oniy asKicgior Gen. Cameron what is conceded to all men in a political contest after they have proven themselves in a majority, the uoveiomeni, itself rests on a manly obedience to the will of majorities, and that moment those who represent the Republican party of this or any other btate, refuse to respect ana obey the same power, the Republican party will seal its doom of destruction. It is not necessary for us to reaffirm our attachment to Simon Cameron. That regard is founded on a sense of what is noble and just; but we still have a larger regard for the harmony and victory 01 tue itepuimcan party. We do not want to see the victories of the Republican masses wasted in idle squabbles by their Representatives. We are satisfied that those representatives are de termined this shall cot be. Therefore we most earnestly trust, as we sincerely believe it to be just, that the friends of the weaker candidates for the Senatorship will give way to the stronger. Every step in the contest makes Gen. Cameron stronger. Every mac in the party, who refuses to recognize and respect this atiength, as iO demonstrated by the preierencea 01 our jtepreseniauves, puts himself in the position of a mal-content, and must expect to oe nem rcsponsioie uy those who value the success of measures more than they do the triumph of men. The friends of Gen. Cameron only ask acquiesence in the preference of a fairly at tained majority, and tney ueueve mat no man, with a proper self-respect, will prop the fallen fortunes of another, when to do so is certain to bring ruin on both. We write frankly on this subject, be cause we know we express the feeling of a majority of the Hepublicane in the Legisla ture, aa well as that of a majority of the Re publicans of Pennsylvania. Gen. Cameron baa established bis claims to the Senator ship by his act. By these his friends have won a victory in nis favor tor tue senatorial nomination, and as that victory is respected so will continue the harmony of the Repub lican party. CONGRESSIONAL rnocEED.

Mr. Johnson (Md.) said that two or three hundred thousand dollars of the awards, un der the original bill, bad been made. It would be a great inconvenience to the peo ple ot Maryland who were entitled to com' pensai.'pn under it.

It simnlv reniiired that the re port shall be made to Congress instead of the President or Secretary of War. The bill was read three timos and passed, and goes to the house. HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES. In the House Mr. Ashley (Ohio) charged Andrew Johnson with high crimes and mis demeanors, preferring the articles and di recting the Committee on the Judiciary to inquire into the matter, with power to send for persons and papers. The House has referred Mr. Ashley's im peachment resolution to the Judiciary Com mittee. Mr. Spalding moved to lay Mr. Ashley's resolution on the table. Negatived yeas 89, nays 105. The Speaker proceeded, immediately after the Journal was read, to call the States for bills and joint resolutions. Under the call, bills were introduced, read twice and re ferred as follows : By Mr. Miller (Pa.), establishing post routes in Pennsylvania. Referred to the committee. By Mr. Mcrcur (Pa.), to grant relief to honorably discharge soldiers who have lost their discharges. Referred to the same committee.

Re ferred to the Committee on Banking and Currency. After the introduction of several other bills the Speaker proceeded to call the States for resolutions, and under that call Mr. Loan (Mo.) offered the following and moved the previous question : Jietoked, That for the purpose of securing the fruits of the victory gained on the part of the Republic during the late war, waged by rebels and traitors against the life of the nation, and of giving effect to the will of the people as expressed at the polls during tue recent cieuiiuua, uy mnjuniies uuiuucr- ing in the aggregate more than 40,000 votes, it is the imperative duty of the Thirty-ninth Congress to take, without delay, such action as will acompHsh the following objects : First. The impeachment of the officer now exercisincr the functions pertaining to the office of President of the United States of America, and bis removal from said office, or his conviction, in due form of law, of the high crimes and misdemeanors of which he is manifestly and notoriously guilty nnd which render it unsafe longer to permit him to exerciso the powers be has unlawfully as sumcd : and Secondly.

Fourth. To secure, by the direct interven tion of Federal authority, the right of fran chise alike, without regard to color, and to all classes of loyal citizens residing within those sections of the Republic which were lately in rebellion. The resolution created great excitement on the Republican side, and on a question of order, raised by Mr. mil, the bpcaKcr deci ded that as part of the resolution referred to reconstruction it must go to the Committee on Reconstruction. Immediately afterward Mr. Kelso again offered the resolution, omit ting paragraphs three and four. Mr. Davis moved to lay it on the table, which was negatived yeas 40, ns 103, The morning hour having expired the reso lution went over until Monday next. Immediately afterwards Mr. Ashley, of Ohio, rose and, as a question of privilege, bad read, by the Clerk, the following charges : "I do Impeach Andrew Johnson, Vice President, and acting President of the Lni ted States, of high crimes and misdemeanors, I charge him with usurpation of power and violation of law, in that be has corruptly abused the appointing power ; in that be has corruptly used the pardoning power; in that he has corruptly used the veto power; in that he has corruptly disposed of the public property ot the united btates; in that be has corruptly interfered iu elea tions and committed acts and conspired with others to commit acts which, in con templation of the Constitution, are high crimes and misdemeanors ; therefore, be it Betolved, That the Committee on the Ju diciary be, and they are hereby, authorized to inquire into the official conduct of An drew Johnson, Vice President, discharging the powers and dutiea of the office of Presi dent of the United States, to report to this House, whether in their opinion the said Andrew Johnson while in said office has been guilty of acts which were designed or calculated to overthrow, subvert or corrupt the Government of the United States, or any department or office thereof, and whether the said Andrew Johnson has been guilty of any act, or nas conspired with others to do acta which, in contemplation of the Consti tution, are high crimes and misdemeanors, requiring the interposition of the Constitu tional power of this House, and that said committee h.,ve power to send for persons and papers, and to administer the customary oath to witnesses.

Washington. Jan. 7. In the Senate, after a short debate on the President's veto of the District ot Columbia Suffrage Bill. Mr. Wade called np the bill to admit Ne braska. Mr. Howe took the floor, and made a lengthy speech la favor of the bill, also in favor of an amendment granting the right of auurage to me colored race. The pending question was upon an amendment, that it shall take effect only nnder the fundamental condition that there shall be no distinction ia civil or political rights among the 1 inhabitants of Nebraska on account of color ; that the Legislature of aaid State shall agree to said condition before the admission of the State.

The bill introduced by Representative Kendall, ot Pennsylvania, to day, and reler red to the Committee on Banking and Cur rency, authorizes the Secretary of the Trea sury to issue on the credit of the United States three hundred millions of Treasury notes not bearing interest, to be legal tender in manner, as authorized by act of February 2d. 1602. The amount to be issued in any year not to exceed one hundred millions, to be exchanged for the issues of the National banks, and for the purchase of such portion of the National indebtedness or bonds as may be necessary to carry out the true intent ot this act. 1 be .National bank notes, received In exchange for Treasury notes, to be can celled, and the certificates of National in debtedness and bonds to be purchased at tue market price. 1 be Secretary of the Trea sury, Attorney General, Secretary of the Interior, Treasurer of the United States and Comptroller of Currency are to be the com missioners of the sinking fund. The object and effect of this bill is to pay the National debt in thirty-two years, with an appr ;pria- nuu ui ciguieeu minions a year lor tuis purpose. It appears that during 1866 there were 85 railway accidents in the United States, in which lives were lost, and in them 115 per sons were killed and 607 wounded. This is a great improvement over 1865, when there were 183 railroad accidents, in which 835 persons were killed and 1427 wounded; and it exhibits a less number of killed and wounded by such accidents, than any year since 1001. These accidents, however, do not include any where persons were injured dv tneirown carelcssuess. There were 23 steamboat accidents during 1806, on the various rivers and lakes in the United States, by which 633 persons killed and 156 wound ed. This is a less number than occurred during 1805, for which year report is 32 ac cidents, in which 17S3 persons were killed and 205 wounded, but it is a larger number than were reported for any previous year since 1854. These reports do not include loss of lite by .disasters at sea nor during naval engagements. We find the following in the Pittston(Pa.) Gazette: Died In Mnhanoy City, Pa., on the 20th ult., Hon.
