A large nnmberof citizens of Berks county have filed a bill in equity in the court ' praying for an injunction against theCounty Commissioners and Assessors to prevent the latter from requiring the petlMoDera to furnish sworn slatements of thi-ir personal property, such aa bonds, Diitee, etc., for the purposes of taxation, uinlei the provisions of the revenue bill pH?ed by the last Legislature and ap proved by the Governor. The object in fl!in? the bil is to test its consitution ality. Mtny citizens declare that they ill not make any return, and as every tax payer in the State has been furnished with a blank form npon which to make ane.vict statement cf his wealih. the importance of this proceeding in Berks county isnpiHrent. This fueling of op Kition to tbe law is not confined to B rks county, but is manifesting itself lu almost every county iu theSate. and as many of our renders have doubtless n-vr read the law, we will publish il next week for their information.

Butler Is reported as paying that he has a'rnrg moral proof which implicates Andrew Johnson in tbe assas sination of Abraham Lincoln that he has in his possession letters that pasneil l&en Johnson and Wilkes Booth, and bad litem at the time of Johnson's im rta;huient trial, but which be did not prjdnc. for in themselves ttiey were out enough ta establish the fact. We dvt't believe that Butler bas made any suh s'atemeut, for as he once said of bittself to a friend who mentioned to hie that a good many people regarded biac as a scoundrel. "Yes, but I flonl thiak you ever heard any man Say I was a d d fool." Any man vho Clatajs to have in his possession letters tiat passed between Andrew Johnson and Wilkes B xth ielating to Mr. Lin coln's murder is worse than afoot he is a driveling idiot. Besides this, if the letterrs were not in themselves enough to establish Johnson's complic ity (in the aesassiuation and were there fore -not produced at the Impeachment tml. as Butler is made to say, would they .prove that fact if published now 7 "I KEDtcT that we State by 40.00").

Oiimtoni opened hi canvas for the aoceesi of the Liberal party at the approaching Parliamentary eleetloa by traveling on Monday last from bit home In England to Edinburgh, where he was welcomed by an immense con- court of people, to whom he delivered a caref ally prepared and lengthy speech. We publish below that portion of his speech in relation to Irish afrirs, as it possesses a deep interest for Irishmen at home, as well as the friends of the Irish canse everywhere. He said : "Tre Irish question Is about to Mm a new position because It la not now a qnea tion of rrnl trlevanees.

Mitchell, United States Senator from this State, says he will not do anything toward setting up can didates for tbe Legislature next fall who will favor his re-elecMon to the Senate in January. 1SR7. It is well that Mitchell has taken time by the forelock and announces his intention of going down to his political grave without making any sign, for he stands no more cWnce of heing re-elected to the Senate than Da Rice did of being nominated for the rresio,T.Cy bv the Democratic National Convection f lew York, in I8C8, and honor to which rn. persist ently and hopefully aspired. It in now said that Matthew S. Quay, that "bril liant statesman" and pure politician, wants to succeed Mitchell in the Sen ate, and after the issue of the late elec tion iu this ring-ridden and machine governed Siate, no man need be sur prised to see that result brought about. This :s an age o? surprises in politics, and the election of Quay to the Senate wouldn't create any greater surprise than the election of Mitchell himself did. When the foremost and most con spicuous member of Bill Kemble's cor rupt lohbv in manipulating the passage through the lower branch of the Leijis lature of the swindling Pittsburg riot damage bill is elected as the colleague of J. D. Cameron, the great State of Pennsylvania will not be quite as ably reptesented as she was when she had for her Senators Edgar Cowan and Charles It. Buckalew. Times change and men change with them. Complete returns fiom all the Leg islative districts in tbe State show the complexion of tbe next Virginia Legis lature to be : Senate, Democrats, 30 ; Republicans. 10. House, Democrats, 70; Republicans. 30. Total, Democrats. 100; Republicans 40. Democratic ma jority, tfO. The contest for United Slates Senator to succeed William Ma hone has act ively begun, the two most prominent candidates being John S. Barbour, the energetic and weli known Chairman of the Democratic S'ateCom mitte. and John W. Dauiel. Bo-bare memlrs of Congress, the latter being regarded us the most eloquent man in tbe State. Barbour is the ablest polit ical organizer in the. Democratic ranks in the Slate, and having defeated Ma hone and his party in the Presidential campaign of last year, he gave him a Bettler ir. the contest that ended last week from which he will never recover. He has, therefore, the strongest possible claims upon the Democracy of the Uld Dominion, aud as he possesses all the requisites for an able discharge of the duties of Senator, we do not well see how he can be defeated. Mahone hav ing no longer any use for an organ, the "'chmond Ji hig, of which be has had i Conlrl for the last twelve years or more, made an assignment on Monday last, aud bid a final farewell to politics. Don Cameron, who has been absent in California for seveial months for the beaetit of bis health, returned to II a r risburg tbe day before tbe late election, and having been asked by a newspaper reporter for bis views in regard to tbe probable course of the Republicans in the Senate on President Clevelaud's ap pointments, he said be did Dot know what the course of the Senate would be, but so far as he was concerned, he re marked, that the offices belong to the Democr.ts, and tbe sooner thej get ttem the better. He suggested the re mote contingency of enough Republican Senators voting with disgruntled Demo- I crats to iebuke tbe appointment policy j of the President, but did not himself indicate the !eBSt disposition to lay any obstacle in his path. The pioner thina be said, was to let the Democrats take the oflices to which they are entitled, and then hold tbem to a rigid account ability for their faithful administration.

The ffT&at Jraocrati trlotory in Vir ginia WaS a result o? last Tuesday's eleC- t t ions for which every honest and decent men, North and South, no matter what his political associations, has good reason to give thanks. Mahone was backed by tbe whole power of the Reprbln party, whoee lea1?rs were so deeply interested In his success that they went abnt drumming up monev to help him along. It was currently reported that one of the ob jects of Logan's visit to New York late in tbe canvass was to ra'.ae more funds for that restless plotter, and Sherman and Foraker. both greed v for the next K-puMicn nomination for President, went down to Virginia to lend him their aid. They knew that the colored vote was at stake there and that its loss meant ruin for their party. Mahone, accordingly, devised h'S roost devilih schemes to inflate the rac prejudices of the negroes, and his agents sent to Northern newspapers reports that a systeroa' ic attempt would be made to frighten there from voting for Vie. On his own part, he spa.ed no eff rt to cajole and holly them Into sop porting his candidates, acd throughout he conduced his ctnvass with marvel lous energy, andacify, method and art fulness, all the time boasting that his sure?? was Inevitable. But what wastbe jesult ? Gen. Lee Is made Governor of Virginia bv this verv negro vote, which alo elected a Legislature that will turn Mahone out of the United S'ates Senate and substi tnte for him a Democrat who wi'l fitly rerreent the honor and dignity of that great fefate. The counties in Virginia where the colored vote la strongest, and where Re publican majorities have been greatest, went over to the Democratic side last Tuesday, and no one. not even Mahone himself, dares pretend that the political revolution was due to anything except a change of sentiment among the ne groes, or that the election was not re markable for its fairness. Mr. Wise. the Republican candidate, acknowledges that the colored neop'e freely expressed their will at the ballot hox. that no on stacles were put in the way of their vo ting, and that the count was honest. The colored people have found that Instead of harming them the election of a Democratic President has been for their benefit They see. after the experience of many months, that their R-puhlican leaders hurabngged them when they drove them to the pnl's fo vote the Re publican ticket on the ground that Dem ocratic ascerdenev meant, danger to their rights. They have discovered that their Democratic white neighbors have no hostility to them as a race, and are really their most, trustworthy friends, whom they alienated only because they rneno8eives insisted on a political sepa ration based on a color line, and timidly rolli.-vpri leaders danirarnna trt KaI h racs.

The actian of the colored citizens of Virginia last Tnedy. more than any thing they have done since their eman cl pat in. vindirates their canacltv to exercixe the suffrage with Intelligence, and places them on a footine with the whites which assures their rights and brightens their future. X. V. Sun. Pennsylvania's .Hew Prodaet. Natural gas is booming up as one of the great prodnc's ef Pennsylvania, promising, in time, to rank with oil and" i-oal and iron in importance and value. The extent and rapidity w tn which it has been introduced, not only into pri vate families, bur into the large mann factories, shows that it will rival coil in a few rears. S.imc cf the largest itoi estntilistiments in Pit'sburg now ns this gs exclusively, having discarded coal entirety. Calculations are made that already tbe consumption ha reached an ex'-nt equivalent to the dis placement of 10.000 tons of oal daily. A number of coal mines around Pitts bnrg. heretofore worked to supply that market, have been temparilv aban doned, and the retail price of coal has comedown. Not only is this natural gas cheaper than coal, but it i- asserted that the beat it produces makes abetter quality of Iron, ateel and glass than can be made from coal or coke. So far about six hundred miles of min pipe have been laid down by the different companies which have brought gas from wells to the city. These pipes are from ten to twenty inches in diam etr. Not on'y are peailv 1J the glass manufactories using it, but many of fh ho' els. while its introduction into pri vae houses Is becoming general, abont 1 500 of the latter being now supplied while the number is rapidly growing' Before the vear closes it is thought ten thousand houses will be supplied with it But it. Is not onlv for illuminating pur poses that householders use it. but for heating their houses also At nresent prices it Is said to cost about J1Q0 per season to heat a honse of eight or ten rooms, besides which ft. costs as much more to pu npthe fittings for heaMnc purposes. So rapidly has the new fuel found favor that meters have not yet been pot np. but manufacturing estab lishments are charged in proportion to the amount of their product. A good deal of dissuasion has been carried on among geologists as to the permanency of the supply of this natu ral gas. The best authorities are now agreed thar it will prove enduring A recent writer in BrndstrefC. who writes as a scientist, holds that the supply of natural is not dependent on the pe trnlenm deposits. The latter may be come exhausted, while the latter will show no signs of diminution. The gas he holds, is constantly in process of manufacture ; the rocks, the soils and the strata that have given origin to pe trolenm m also the origin of natural gas and are still it, theit places, and he process of gas making in natures libra torv must go on indefinite'y. The only question seems to be whe'er it will be made as rapidly in the underground re torts as ir Is used above ground. S far the wells hold out satisfactorily. If thev continne to do so they will give this State a fourth great mineral product of immense importance and value. New Tohk, November 11. The will of tbe late G-3. George B.

Although the new Congress meets in less than a month, there is little specu la! ion about its organization. Luny at this season of the vear an exciting contest over the Soeaxership is in prog ress. This high otnee, third In rank of the oGittes of the Government, and sec ond only to the Presidency in point of power. Is a prize Jnstifylng an earr.est canvass. This year, for the first time in the history of Congress, no contest is indicated. Mr Rndall has said that he would not be a candidate for the Speakership, and Mr. Carlisle is sore to be re-elected, an the Democrats have a clear majority of forty-two over the Re publicans. Other old officer are likely to be re-elect d. Clark, the Clerk, and Iyedom. the Serreant-at-Arms. There is a vacancy, caused by death. In the office of doorkeeper, which is being sought by three candidates. Including Mr. Eugene Higgins, the mneh abnsed Appointment Clerk of the Treasury. The casting of the committees will not take mnch time either, as most of the o'd members will get their old places, or be regularly promoted to fill vacancies, Nearly ore half of the next Congress will consist of Inexperienced men. The total number of members in the House of Renresenfatives is 325. There will be 138 new members. These will be at a disadvantage for some time. No mat ter how able or how well informed a man may be on general snhject s, he is clumsy in Congiess until he learns something of its circuitous mthods of doing business. It has been charged that the rules of the H-vise were made especially for the purpose of retarding legislative work. The majority rn'e was abolished long ago. and the present rules are so constructed that, a well led minority can defeat wirh ease the most positive will of the majority. There continues to b much talk about the New York and Virginia elec tions. One effect thus far shown is en couraging to the administration. The Republican enators who have been threatening to make war on some of the appointments are much subdued nd are not near so eager for a fight as they were. Senator Logan savs he did not m?ke a "bloody shirt" campaign at all. In his oninion, M'lgwnmpian phiosophiv is a de'usioo and a snare, and Empire State Reonblicans are slippery. Refer ring to the insinuations of some of the mourners that hahad damaged the pros pects of Mr. D-ivenport by not. keeping that soiled nether garment concealed In his valise. Senator Logan saind : '"If some gentlemen in New York want, a scape goat, in order ti keep from nnder the hav themselyes. I suppose I can fle to the mountains as well as anyone." Governor-elect F'tzhngh Lee. of Vir ginia, and also the Lieutenant Gover nor-elect, Massey. have been in the city si.ff their election. Gen. Lee chme with hisi-n sons to make some pur an. i on it remained in the city a few honrs. Evervwheir b went on the streets he was followed by a convratu latorv crnwd that insisted on shaking hands with him. Senator Mahone is so broken politi eallv and socially that some of his friends have been urging him to leave irginia and make his home in Wash ington in the future. There are those. however, who hope tha whpn he emi grates from his native S'ate he will not stop short of Alaska. There are others who wish him a hotter climate. It hs been suegest ed that he will rise from the depth of his gloom to run for Con gress next year. Evervrhing hat the President intends to recommend in his message will re ceive the snpporr. of his party. The ad ministration is ir. hih spirits, and gre- harmonv among Democrats is looked for now. The partv feels united and s'refitfthened by recent, victories, and that if has been given new vigor and a long lease of political ascendency. K. Thk Can a than Paofk: Railway.
