NEXT, TO THE NEW BEH,Exxo avolv , HE:Eco"EnnoTEE FOR 2,, BANE STREET, NORTH OF ; LOCUST STRERT, AND REAR OF COLIEWEIA NATIONAL BANE. Corruption of Revenue 'ollieers. The report upon whisky frauds, made by the Congressional 'Retrerichmenf Com mittee, makes some, very, serious charges against the President. .11 accuses him dis tinetlY .of retaining-in office, despite the protestations of the Secretary of the Treas ury and the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, corrupt officers, who connived at tho enormous frauds by which the people's Treasury has been cheated of not less than one hundred and fifty millions of dollars. .The report says: " A revenue collector in New York .city called upon a collector and stated to him he 'could furnish an opportunity where each could make five thousand dollars a month. The collector assured him he would' be glad for the" opportunity if legiti mate. The proposition, as submitted, contemplated taking whisky out of bond for exportation, substituting, water for shipment, and putting the whisky on 'the market. With evidence of the guilty pro position, the collector reported the case to the department,, and the _dishonest inspector was r etainca, not with the approbation of llr.'Rollins or the Secretary of the Trees ury."•. Again, it makes this charge: "Plunder ing by officials has been encouraged. Some . friends of the President from 'Washington, Called on collectors and assessors, in the fall of 1866, requesting from each a contri bution -of 85,000, when it was known that the annual salarif of each, 7f honest, did not much exceed that sum. Was not that an in timation that an attempt on their part to obtain more than the legal salary would not be severely criticised at headquarters? In one district the collector made the dis tillers pay tribute, and the $3,000 was real ized. NW° has any douht that that was a paying investment?" Again, the Committee reports that the PreTinient "had appointed a cotton agent, a gentleman formerly from Tennessee, who seized some cotton, for which the owner sued the Government and obtained a por- tion ; the Government compromised by paying an amount agreed upon ; there was no pretence for any informer's share; yet Johnson cunningly suggests, intimates and calls 'Um attention of 'the Secretary and others to tho settieutent Of this ruan's claims, when ho knew there could be no honest claim—rather, than, offend the acc ent] ve, his Mend was allowed to take 848,000 from the Treasury. ' Again; the report says: "The - whisky ring is stronger than political con I binations, controlling the selection of inspectors; in some instances it has dictated the appoint ment of consuls, to have a willing 'tool at foreign ports. In New York city, -to-day, consular certificates mall be obtained as easily as tax receipts." Now, these aro serious charges. It' they are true, if they can be made good, if it is a fact that that the President has kept in' office corrupt mon after their corruption bad been exposed to hint by his own Sub= ordinates, the Secretary of the Treasury and the Commissioner of Revenue, thou, says the New York Post, hero is ground for 'his impeachment and removal from office fur better, far more serious than the mere technicality upon which the - present impeachment hangs., If Mr. Johnson has done what this report says he 'has, he is re sponsible for the enormous whisky and other revenue frauds; and deserves punish ment. •At any rate, he and his two chief subordinates in the revenue department, the Secretary of the Treasury and the Commissioner of Revenue, are responsible to the people for -the glaring non-enforce mint of.the law; and if It, is true, as this. report asserts, that Mr. McCulloch and Mr. Rollins have been overruled in their acts by the President, and have been obliged by him to consent to the appointment or to the retention in office of men known to them to be inefficient or corrupt, then they must share in the President's condemnation unless they expose his misconduct. This report on revenue frauds is thamost damaging Mr. Johnson has yet received; and if he cares for his !diameter as a public officer or as a citizen, ho will do well to try' to make manifest to the public - his inno cence of the very serious crimes imputed. tobim. ;" The Whisicy,lting Again. We last week called: upen,,Mesers,,JECiest and and Wiley to answer certain questions. As yet we have he „ ard,uo. response directly' to our questions. Butin Monday's ,Express in answer to some . questions -put upon un important mattem , Mr.Wiley, in paragraph 6, says: " I arn.not aware of the existence of-a whisky tingly' this - District., 1f there is, f defy any one to prove that lam a mem- Lir, or have any knowledge of it." Don't be too certain, Mr.:Wiley, about your tracks be ing so effectually covered thatnonecan find them out. We again call upon you to answer our questions.

EirEsp.No? Did you tell Charles U. Rielder since we published our first ar ticle upon whisky rings, that lie had better not pay the thousand" dollars thereailer, lest Yon might get into a' scrape ?

'Ragan & 800. .Editor We received the above letter a few days ago. It was written by another party, but signed in a bold, compact hand; by one of the Bitners. It purports to be a reply to the following interrogatory, which appeared in an article of an issue of the SPY, dated the 7th inst., namely: " How many barrels of whisky placed in their (the Messrs. Bit ners') cuarge, have mysteriously turned into water?" After waiting nearly two weeks for a reply from the Messrs. 8., the above came to hand. We cannot but regret that they, did not see proper to deny all knowledge of the mat ter. We do not believe that they have the miraculous power of turning whisky into water, but we only desired them to state (as they have not) that they had no knowledge of such a thing being done. When we wrote the article we had in our mind's eYe the eighteen barrels of whisky which were seized in the vicinity of Maytown, in this county, and which, when inspected at Phil adelphia, was water—whether the transfor mation was made in &anoint, or in that city we were unable to tell, hence we made the inquiry of those who might be likely to know more about the matter than ourselves. We did not say by whose agency the whisky was turned into water. We concede that the Messrs. Bitners are entirely blameless its the matter, in the ab sence of proof to the contrary. Thus much in ,reply to the above letter. And now, Messrs. Bitters, we want to know front you the name of the person or persons who made the arrangement for the use of your car which was sent to Chielzies, in which was shipped forty barrels of whisky, but invoiced to a certain George &Ileum (who had charge of the car) as corn. We also want to know why said car was not forfeited to the use of the government. We want from you an ansvr to the above questions. If you fail to answer them we herewith inform you thatwo can produce the evidence, conclusive and damning, as to the whereabouts. the forty barrels of contra band whisky was loaded in your car, and who did it. Senator Wade. The Washington correspondent of the Boston '.Post says that in conversation, on Thursday,Mr.Wade remarked that since the impeachment of the President he had been so beset by office seekers that he had not a moment he could call his own. Mr. Wade pronounced as utterly without foundation the statements that ho had any inten thin of resigning or that he bad gone to Mr. Patter son of Tennessee and offered to pair oil' with him in all votes which might bo taken during the impeachment trial. When asked what he thought of the defense as challeng ing his vote he replied that was not, a matter personal to him but to the State of Ohio ; that, the Constitution gave every State in the Union two votes, and that Ohio could not ho deprived of her equal voice on this trial. The question was then put as to the right of the Southern States to be represent ed, when he replied that would admit of no discussion. The Senate by the full vote of all the Republican members would re fuse to entertain any such question. The Lancaster Inquirer. In its issue of February 20th, 1868, the Lancaster Inquirer, under the caption of "Slander," proceeds in very choice and re fined language to take us to task for indulg ing " unmanly •inuendoes" against two of the "individuals • designated as dele gates." After quoting an' extract .from an editorial in. the Sey,ln - which Mr. Wiley's name occurs, they pliicooded to defend him and Boaton, tUal — Wencto 'eating us.har. names like a very 'drab, ,Which had about as much effect upon our nerves as a basin of water thrown, upon a, duck to drown it.

Editors dO you drnp Mr. Wiley thus, so unceremoniously ? are you afraid of getting your ringers burned? or have you learned :that the odor_ of rascality clings ...to his skirts?- Johnsonlan Meanness. 'The Post Mister General—one of Andy lohnson's henchmen—before his chief shall be - kicked out of the White Please, which he has disgraced so long by his presence, is determined to continue to the end the sys tem of unmitigated rascality, duplicity and meanness, which has characterized his ad ministration thus far. On the 11th inst:, Frederick Gramm, a notorious Copperhead residing' at Bainbridge, in this county, pro duced his commission as Post Master, and proceeded to relieve Mrs. Galbraith, who has been serving -acceptably' for fourteen years as Post Mistress at that place.. She is a widow with six noble sons, Republicans, all; five" of whom enlisted in the Union army, and fought to defend our country. Perhaps a solution of this mean act in Mr. Randall, can be found in that fact. We are very much mistaken if the good people at Bainbridge do not resent this outrage at the )olls next November.

Correspondence. PITILADIMPITIA, March 18th, 1868 DEAR SPY :—Tbe Ratification meeting held last 'week in the Academy of :Music, was a grand .sucAess. Six thousand people - are estimated to insverbeeri-g,athered on the occasion in that spacious building. Mayor .McMichael was the Chairman, and ex-Gov. Curtin, Senator Nye and Galuslut A. Grow were some of the speakers. The re mark of the first, that whether he were selected as Vice President by the Republi can Convention or not, he would stand by his party, was worthy of the man and his high. reputation. The second, who made such a noble and brilliant speech in the Senate some time ago, and who is one of the most noted men of his party, fully came up to the mark and delivered one of his most telling speeches. And the last, who is well known as a polished orator as well as an able man, did not fall below his ex cellent standard. This meeting; a thorough contrast to the one held in Horticultural 'Hansom° time ago upholding the usurping acts of Andrew Johnson, with the other meetings of like character that are being held all over the hind, as well as the results of the late New Hampshire election, give a fair estimate of the feelings of the people in regard to Impeachment. Very few among, the sensible people of the country oppose it, and hardly one of our prominent Re publican newspapers do' so. The only ex ception that I know of is the New York Times, but that can hardly be called a Re publican newspaper. While I am speaking on this subject, I must tell you an interesting piece of news. A Philadelphia lawyer has got out a cir cular which states that he propOsed "to publish' a book containing a history of the incarceration of political or State prisoners during the late war." This private docu ment will be sent, perhaps has already , been sent, to such men as Vallandigham, Wall, 'Weenies, the two Woods, etc. In justifica tion of its publication lie says: "It is time the world should know who have sullered political martyrdom without cause, for opinion's sake, whether that opinion was freely expressed or simply entertained ; and now- that the people are coming back to 'second sober thoughts,' and a favorable political reaction is taking, place, I deem it a most auspicious time for such a book to appear." And further, that in order "to make this book a truthful, and at the same time as interesting as possible, I would request of yon, if agreeable, a statement as to where and when you were arrested, by whom, by what authority, whether by warrant based on affidavit - or otherwise, whore you were imprisoned, hour long you remained in prision, your treatment while in prison, when released, whether after trial or otherwise, what charges were preferred against you, etc., etc., and, in a word, a readable and truthful history of your case so as to appear in print." " I should like also to'have a brief sketch of yourself, or autobiography, showing who you are, what offices you have filled, your-profession or business,-mid,,ht abort, your status, social or otherwise, in your uommunity. Please write the above in the third person, with a view to publication." This circular is recommended by such prominent Democrats, as the following re veals: " I cheerfully recommend John A. Marshall, Esq., us being well fitted to pub lish such a book as ho proposes, and feel assured that the work undertaken by him well be faithfully executed. , "William Bigler, ' - "Ex-Governor and ox-U.

The newspa per sensation paragraphists have been hard put to it for a day or two, on account of the dullness in news. In manutituturing "War Department scares," to supply their per diem quantum of the sensational, they fail to cultivate oven plausibility. Whatever else may be said of Mr. Stanton, by his friends or his enemies, it is quite certain there is nothing "scary" in his compo sition. It is to be doubted if he ever had a tremor in his life. Certain it is, that in the most "panicky" 'days of the war, when Congressmen, Cabinet Officers, and even military men of well established courage, were pretty badly demoralized, and were looking around Washington—to use a famil iar expression—like " hens with their heads oef"—no man ever saw Mr. Stanton thrown off his balance for a single instant, The War Department is the last place in the world for the canarders to locate their "scares." GMBEESSE The Committee on Elections expect to finish the consideration of all the contested election cases this week, and report to the House. This morning Gen. Pile, of Mis souri, made his closing argument for his seat, and Mr. Hogan, his contestant, closes his side of the question to-morrow. There is good authority for saying that the major ity report will be against giving_ the seat to Mr. Hogan, but permit Gen. Pile, sitting inember, to retain his seat. The Board of Managers of Impeachment were in session to-day, completing.arrange ments, on their part, for the coming trial. No further examination of witnesses is to be had, and the Committee feel confident that it will not be necessary to withdraw any one of the articles. General Hancock has responded to the President's order, that he come here, and h.la telegraphed to secure rooms for himself tutd suite at the Metropolitan. Gen. Stead man having resigned his position as Col lector of Internal Revenue in New Orleans, several applications liar the succession have been made, among them a brother of Den. Hancock. 110B8IMY AT TILE FATBNT OFFICE. Last Monday night a valuable sword, worth from :$lO,OOO to $15,000, en eNhibition at the museum in the Bittern, Udine, was stolen by some person or persons u»knOWll, from the case containing most of the relic-3 of Gen. Washington. The thief apparently gained access to the sword by a key fitting one of the doors on the east side of the case, as he left the prints of his - lingers upon an other less valuable sword on that side of the case, presented to Commander Elliott. The stolen sword was one presented by the Vi ceroy of Egypt to Commander Biddle, of the . U. S. Navy, many years since, and was studded with large diamonds. The scab bard, which was of tine gold, was stolen several years ago, it will tie remembered, with a gold snail' box and other jewels, a portion of which were subscqnently recov ered. Gen. Kit Carson, accompanied by Gov. Hunt, of Colorado, and the delegation of Ute Indians, left here for their homes, last week, having accomplished the object of their visit. Mr. Sinclair, the capable publisher of the N. Y. Tribune, was at the Capitol to-day. He was recognized everywhere as a Tribune ..by the cut, or rather no cut, of his hair nd whiskers. ST. PATRICK'S DAY Tuesday last wasthe anniversary of Ire land's patron Saint, and the morning was unusually pleasant, the weather being warm, clear and spring-like. The day was generally observed throughout the city, be ing one which is dear to all true sons of the Emerald Isle. At lh o'clock the procession formed in front of the City Hall; a great many societies were represented, and the procession made, as it marched through the city with bands playing and banners flying, quite an imposing display, and the festivi ties of the day were brought to a close by a grand ball and supper. NA.T.IOtiAL 1.11%7C0L7 , .: ItIOIIMLENT The "Lincoln Monument Association" has, so I ant informed by Gen. Spinner, the Treasurer, some $200,000 in its treasury, and contributions are rapidly pouring in from every quarter, so that the _full amount (,400,000) will soon be raised. This magni ficent monument, which, when erected and completed, will stand without a parallel in the world, is from a design by Mr. Clark Mills, the sculptor, who has been awarded the contract for its erection by the Commit tee. The much lauded monument of Peter the Great, of Russia, which is acknowledged to be the finest thing of *the kind now in existence, will be fairly eclipsed in many points by this magnificent coneePtion. The pedestal is to be of granite, and the figures the whole-structure-will stand seventy feet in height, surmounted by thirty-five colossal figures. Its con struction triangular, the base of which ad mits three groups presenting- slavery. The first group presents the slave in his Most abject state, as when brought to this coun try. Here we behold him nude, deprived of all which tends to elate the heart, with any spirit of pride or independence. The second group represents a less abject stage. He is hero partly clad, more e n li g ht ene d , and hence, realizing his bondage, startles with a love of freedom. The third is the ransomed slave, redeemed from bondage by the blood of Liberty, who, having struck off his shackles, holds them triumphantly aloft. The slave is pictured gratefully bend ing at her feet. Between these groups are throe has-reliefs, the first of which represents the tiring on Fort Sumter; the other two present the Senate and House amending the Constitu tion. The second story, first group, represents the Members of the Cabinet in Council, while Seward points towards -Europe, as though explaining the importance of the act. The second group, officers or the Nary and prominent Union men who stood by the President during the war. The third, the fall of Richmond and the surrender of Mee. The crowning figure is the President in [_.l4lo.act of3signing the Proclamation. At - Ills - feet are Liberty and Justice, while be hind sits Time watching the hour-glass, inissioned, as it were, from heaven._ At the base of the steps Leading from the centre structure are six equestrian statues of lead ing commanders of the army. It will require four years constant labor to complete this monument from the time of commencement. "PrtaNic." LITERARY NOTICES.

AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL Is a soothing expectorant. prepared to meet the ur gent need of n safe and reliable cure for diseases of ,tho throat and lungs. A trial of ninny years line Cc •tablishod the fact, that it is more efficacious in pul monary faections, than any other. remedy„ Its efficacy has now become so generally known, that it is justly regarded in many countries .68 a medicine of indispensable necessity. In Great Britain, Franco, and Germany, where medical science has reached its highest perfection, it is Prescribed in domestic practice, and constantly in the armies. in hospitals and other public institutions, where it is regarded by the attending physicians as the most speedy and agreeable remedy that can be employed. Scarcely any neighborhood can be found where well known eases of diseased lungs, which hail battled the efforts of the most skillful and experienced doctors, have been permanently cured by it. These results are the mef.t convincing proofs of the superior cura tive properties of this preparation ; and to them the authors point with peculiar satisfaction. While it is most powerful against confirmed diseases, it is ex tremely gentle as a medicine in Infancy and youth, being quite harmless to even the youngest, when ad ministered judiciously. This healtMrestorer accomplishes oven more by prevention than curb. If taken in season, it herds all irritations of the throatand lungs, whether aris ing from Colds or Coughs, or from other causes, and thus prevent that long train of painful and incurable diseases. which' would arias from the neglect of them. Hence no family should be without it.

Tumors and ulcers spread until in 1842, under the advice of my physicians I went to Avon Springs. I received na benefit—tried every medicine and did everything I mould. I had to lest my arm on a cushion, and had not been able to raise it to my head for over a year. The dis charge from two ulcers was nearly a pint a day. Amputation tins recommended ; but pronounced dangerous. I could not sleep. and my sufferings were intolerable. A blend brought me an English physician who applied a salve with which he said he had accomplished extraordinary cures in the hospitals in England. It commenced to relieve; I persisted in its use; it finally effected a perfect end entire cure. It is now 1848.
