Early in 18G4 tlio snnitnry conditK)n of Jerusalem excited considerable at tcnlimt imonr tlio foreign ollicial resi dents nnd visitors there, cspetinllj oniony tho EngliHli, lio tuko the lead of nil other tialioni in anxiety about tho puhlio licullh. Tho holy city, wliit ii the pRulmioldescrihod na "beitu tiftil for situation, the joy of the whole, earth," had become ono of tho most iinheiiltliy places in the world ; and tho chief reasons assigned for this chune were tho had quality of the water and tho cxhulalions from the slow decay of a mints of rubbish in the valleys and ravines which had been accuniutiiliiig for centuries. 'This musa. of rubbish was so great that it was hardly possible to do any thing with it ; but the question of water was easier to manao, and vari oiisschcn.os were proposed for improv ing the supply, cither by repairing the ancient aqueducts or milking now ones and forming additional pools and cis terns, lleliire, however, any plan could bo carried out, it was ohviotialy necessary to obtain an accurate plan 01 me ci:y,nna lortnis purpose money wns raised by committee in London, jCOOO being contributed by Miss liur delts Co u us. In October, 1804, aeur vey was begun by a party of Royal Engineer', commanded by Captain Wilson, which resulted in tlio publica tion of a most accurate nnd satisfac tory map and all the requisite plans I'npt. Wilson was followed in ISO" by (.'apt. Warren with a pat ty of Roy al Engineers, sent out at tho expense of the. l'alcHlino Committee to make excavations in and m ound Jerusalem, to dotcrmino if possible the exact ex tent of tho ancient X-ity, the site of the Holy Sepulchre, and tho silo and ex tent of tho Tomplo of Solomon and the later Temple of Herod. About all these mallei's thcro hus been much controversy, to w hich an end could bo put only by careful explorations, and excavations. Tho great obstacle in tho way of those investigations wnB tho bigorty and fanaticism of tho Mo hammedans, by whom Jerusalem is regarded as a sacred city, and tho sito of tho Templu ns one of tho holiest placca in tho world, being called liar am-csh-Hhcrif, or tho Sacred Sanctuar3-, J bo Sanctuary is on Mount Monah, and comprises a largo open space, studded with cypress and olive trees, and with its sides surrounded in part by high walls of tho finest masonry. At tho southern end is the Mosque of Aksa and a ptlo ol buildings formerly used by tho Knights Tompluis. Nearly in tho centre is a raised platform paved with stone, and rising from this is the famous and beautiful Mosquoof Omar. Within tho enclosure ol the Sanctu ary stood tho Temple of tho Jows, all traces of w hich have long sinco disap peared, not ono stono having been left upon another. Its oxact position has been one of tho most uncertain points in Jcrosulom topography. Tho two theories which have obtained tho lar gest number of supporters are, first, that which makes tho Templo enclo sure coextensive with IBe Sanctuary ; and second, that w hich outlines it to a snuarc of six hundred feet at the south eastern corner ol the same placo. It is still uncertain which of theso views is correct, and the question can hardly bo definitely settled till excavuliotis are mado within tho Sanctuary walls. This, however, tho Turks would not permit, and (.apt. Warron could only obtain leavo to dig in tlio neighbor hood of tho ancient Templo and on tho wallsoutsidool'them. Tho l'asha. slier considerable negotiation, allowed him to sink shafts at tho dislnnce of forty feci from tho wall ; but ho know nothing of English powers of mining, and was satisfied so lung aB the mouth of the shall was kept away from the wall. 1 he English, however, ran tun nels in all directions, and explored iho very base of tho Sanctuary itsolf. Tho reason which tho Pasha gave for his unwillingness I have the Sancliin ry excavated was that the sacred rock in its oenlre lies on the top of a palm tice, from whose roots spring all Ihe rivers of tho earth; and Ibat if the rock were dug around and tho palm Ireo disturbed, the whole world would anfTcr from the inleriuplion of the sup ply of river water. Tho excavations near the Sanctuary were made in the fare of many difli cullies and dangers. In fjet, thev ap pear to have been carried on al the constant risk ol lifo anil limb to the bold explorers. Huge stones were for days ready to fall, and sometimes did lull, on their heads. One of iho ex jes, and good naturrdly thanked them plorers wns injured so severely ll.ntiforrelieving him ofa sorry job. Some ho could barely crawl out inlo the I of tho tired diggers were disgusted; open atr; another extricated himself with diflicnlty, torn and bleed intr: (another was actually buried under the 1EP NOT MEN. I ruins. Somctimos they wore almost suffocated by the stiiling heat; at Jollier times thoy wero plunged for uwiiia up w iiii-ii nuens ill me irecr.lllg waters of somo subterranean sleuni; I sometimes blocked up by a fulling mass, without light or escape And 'those lubors had to bo carried on with tho constant opposition of the authori ties, and with the aid only of native workmen, who in winter could never get the idea drummed into their heads that working would muko them warm. Somo curious scones occurred in ihe course of those explorations. On one yucc iori tlrttWnj'ra, "while running a tunnol under the city, came to a rough wall, which they easily broke, through, ans found themselves in what we should call a livery stable for donkeys Tl ow;icr of the nsscs was quietly silling in the front part of the stable smoking tho pipe of peace and con lonlncnt, when, heating a noise al the rear, he proceeded to investigate, and was suddenly confronted by the apparition of three or four stango fig ure., armed with singular weapons, and arrayed in an uncouth garb, em erging from tho bowls of the earth. He fled in dismay, and aroused tho neighborhood by crying out that evil genii had taken possession of his prem ises; nor was it without difficulty that ho and his neighbors wero persuaded that the intruders were not supernat ural. , The work of exploration ia not yet conclided, but its results so far huvc been recorded in a volume entitled The Recovery of Jerusalem, font issued in London. From inspection of the advance sheets of this work we are enable to sum up the results as follows: 1. Several anoient aqaedaota and way ancient oisteras tiare been discovered, and the much-rrled question of bow Jerusalem waa supplied with wa ter in Uie days of Solomon practioaily nettled. 3. Cotaiderahle progress baa been made in de termining the eonrse of the anciont walls, on which depends tha authenticity of tba Holy Hepuichre. Tha ditcereriee made tend to confirm its genuine ness. I. Important materials have been furnished to ward th. decision of the controversy respecting tbe area A the Temple. 4. Theettcmal aspect of an.iect Jerusalem is ia two oi three points brought out with new force. a. There are some proofs discovered of the form af tha airirnt houses. 6. Tbeto is also the astounding rerelalion of the Immense leighl of the leuiplo wall above th. Ko dron Vall-y. 7. Bomi approximation to the date of the wall, of th. Tanple has been made l:y the discovery of Pbn-nieiiu characters marked in red paint on their surface. . 8. The islereoting discovery by Pr. Rnhinsnn of what be wpponrd to be the arch of tho bruise, whirh latrt travellers much contested, has no. been deluls-ly oonfirmad by tb. disclosure of its reiuaioii.g iragmenta.. 9. The whole history of the cartography of J-! r....lK, im r.. tt.a n.at lima U.rlw .1, Cnrtl. l:,lo It U. rmll u-.....io. in me nii-. ,N r4.u.r now for the first time published. Oulsitb of Jerusalem tho explorers have mule great additions to our knowlcdro ol the Holy Land. The site of (Jipciniium has been identified, und thoio of licthsaido and Chorur.in lilaccd tlmost beyond doubt. The greatest of their discoveries, however, is I lull if the exact location of .Mount Sinai, Bd of the route by which the Israelite passed through Hie desert. They have also apparently ascertained the score ol tho passngo oi tno i;ea Sea, liaco indctitihod tho ilucrness of Sin, tho sacred hill of Aaron arid ol Hur. ind lastly, tnc memorable scene of tho encampment of Israel hen the law was given in thunder irom ainai All llicse points have been established, as lar ta woy are iiKoiy to ue, uy ex plorers who can speak w ith authority, as tho first who have traversed not ro.ito only, but every possible roulo it the Desert, and huvo seon not ono or two only, but every possible sceno tf tho grout acts of tho Exodus. Amotifr other interesting mailers contained in "The Recovery of Jerusa lem" is a full and accurate account ol tho ''Moabito Stone," which was dis- covcrcl in 1808 in tho ancient land of Moab. cast of tho Dead Sea. This stone 'vhen found wub covored with nn inscription in characters resembling tho rhajhieian, nnd is unuouuicuiy tne oldest Semitic record on stone yet dis covered. It relutes tho history, from the lleabite point of view, of tho re bellion oi lving JUCBiia, wuo ia men tioned in tho third verse of the fourth chapter of iho Second Hook of Kings in Iho lliblc, and whoso revolt was finally overcome by the combined armies of Juduh and Israel. It com memorates bis successes and triumphs; it oxpluins how ho wrested towns troin his old enemies, and rebuilt tho ruined cities of his own country; it shows that his wars wero to a certain extent reli''ious, that the king believed him sell to bo under divine guidance, nnd that no expedition was made unless by oxpress direction of tho god Clio most, or Cbamos. This unexpected record of a nation entirely lwrished and passed away must be regarded as of lliottreittestiiosaible interest. Slight as may nnncar its contribution to his tory, it has a very real value, if it wero only for tho human interest it gives to that shadowy king who, brought to bay at last, when nil his new-built towns wero destroyed, all his cistern, and wolls filled up, and all his good land marred, slew bis eldest son upon j tho w all us a burnt I'lTcring to the god ( hemosh, by whoso advice he w ns ruled, and with that supremo net of despair vanishes forever out ot our know ledgo. An Irishman took a contract to dig A publio well. When he had dug about twenty five feel dow n, ho caine ono morning sntl found it raved in tilled nearly to the top. 1'ut looked cautiously around and saw that no person w as near, then took off his hat and coat, bung litem on a windlass, crawled inlo somo btislus nnd waited events.

Uy comparing tho railroad ship ments for nino months of 1870, with tho same period in 18U0, an excess ol 43,113,758 feel is found in favor of 1870. The shipments by canal in 1870 show an increase of 8iil,824 feel over those of 1809. In addition to this, iM.O-l logs cleared tho Collector's otlice in this city for mills below, which, on being reduced to feet, should be nil Jed to tho above. The nggrcgnlo shipmonts for the full ycr of 180!), probably did not reach 200,000,000 feet, so that there was an increase of over 60,OUtl,000 in 1870. Tho operations of tho past year were tho heaviest ever cxpoir enced in the lumber t ratio of Williams- port, and show it to be the great em porium for tho manufacture of this staple commodity in iorinorn rent) sylvania.

The Erio Observer is publishintr a scries of excellent articles, from one of which wo make the following oxlact: Every sc., inn of the United Slate. District Court present, the most farcical inetaneeeof legal absurditee, wer. it not for the gross intnettee-whM-h ia dealt out in the name of law. In the edminie tration of the keonue laws that broad principle of jurisprndene. which aopposaa a man to be in nnoent until proven guilty, ta here entirely ifrnnred. In any other Court a eriuie, from petty larceny to murder, ia construed by the oni'mm. of th. alleged ofli-nder at the time of its eommission. Not eo with our revenue laws. The act of placing a single eifrar, left in another stamped box, newly opened, va a crime wbiehtha department punishes heavily. There are any fuanlity of laay loafers, not id the employ of the tiov eminent, who are making a good living by acting aa inlermere in aaaees where tha party charged is innocent of any intention to do a wrong act They purvae a eystem of black mailing, and find tbe most "inviting Setds and paalarea green" among oigar and Uuaeee aaecm loetnrera and dealers, and breweries. Wo have heard that tho United Stales Attorney for this District takes great pride in the length of his trial list, and even boasts that very few persons are acquitted in his court. If this is truo ho certainly mistakes his official duly. Tho government can not ucsito the punishment of innocent persons, and there has boon no decree that we know of declaring the District Attorney infallible, and tho mere fact of an accusation being made ugainst a citizen docs not authorize, much less command, the government attorney to use his energy, skill and power to convict. It is only his duly 10 thor oughly, yet fairly and impartially in vestigate. . JSo professional glory or personal fueling should influence this officer in the disehargo of his duty, and when even hn is actuated by any such motives lie abuses his trust. Tho Kovenue luws are exceedingly harsh nnd severe in the penalties lliey iuflictund the ofTiccrsw ho have charge of tho execution of those laws, should, because of their rigor, strive to ao ad minister them aa to make their bur dens as light ns posniblo. But lbs practice is not so. . If the object was to muko these laws odious and detests-; bio, the officials should be commended for their success. Tho purposo of all tbeso enactments is tb raise revenue and to punish thoso who defraud the government by violation or evasion of these laws. That purpose is not ac complished by convicting men for technical violution of tho law, whore there has been no escape or attempt to escape from tho burden of taxes the law imposes. In tho cuso ubovo refer red to, nnd it is but nn illustration of many that hare been tried and to be tried is not tho climax of absurdity and oppression reached by convicting paid from ono box to another f il the ntttcliineiy oi una great, gov ernment is to bo mado an ongine of oppression by such a w anion abuse ol power it would bo uiincuil in ton me al vantages of Republican institutions. A tribunal conducted upon this theory is misnamed a court of justice. It is liable to tho reproach, and desorves all tho infamy of courts martial, which were orguuized lo convict. Every section of the revenuo law bristles with penalties, nnd on every penally hangs golden fruit for the at torney and otheroflicers. Spicsund in formers hang about tho United Stales Court, thick und hungry as buzzards around carrion. For tbe business is mainly ntutlo np by maintaining these nefarious pots, who cureo any community they may entor. Some careless but honest tradesman in canceling revenuo stamps omits to cross his "I or dot his "i" in the pro ciso modo pointed out by the statute. instantly one of these hangers-on ion aces upon him, drags linn to the L nited States attorney, and between tho timo of eating his dinner and di gesting it, ho is in jail or under heavy bonds; . his cnliro establishment is seized and in process of confiscation This psiet nal government, or rather tins internal revenue law, bids higl for conviction. It offers one half to Iho inlointer, and largo commissions to the District Attorney. Remember this inducement nnd sup poso the Marshal, or ono of his at taches should be tbe informer; then learn that thn jury w hich is to pass upon thiscaso, is selected by the .Mar shal and the District Attorney, is it not perfectly slnrlling to see upon what a slender thread hang tho liber tics and properly of tho citizens! Such power coupled with other temp lation to abuse it, should not bo en trusted to any mortal man. Il has been outraged in moro instances than tho rase in Erie. An eminent lawyer of tho X'tllsburgh liar, indignant and discustcd at tho ready verdicts of packed juries, said : "All that the U S. Attorney need do was to read the indictment and show the clclcndanL We understand that Judge McCund less, upon two or three occasions has felt constrainod to rebuko and correct somo irregularities in the District At torney's practice. It is to be hoped ihut for the Sake of justice, substantial justice, and lo preserve that respect lor law wliicn nil should entertain, lie will give his personal attention to Ihe loud complaints which aro too Ire nticnlly beard about the maladminis tration of the laws. He iscvory where esteemed as a humane, und upright Judge ond we feel quite sure that, in so fur ns he may have, the power, be w ill correct tho abuses that may be brought to his notice. Wo intend ao far as in our power, to expose nil oppressive and vexations acts of thoso in power, whether enact ed through motives of avarice, vnin glory or revenge.

This case ia an old ac quaintance of tho readers of the Pa triot. It will bo remembered that Win.

That sweet scented pink of profrasionMl virtue, J. Alexunder Simpson,, of Philadelphia, was engaged by liunn to manipulate the case for him. One Charles Hurl nack ''prepared" the evidence required by Mr. Simpson. Tha witnesses in tbe case were Mitchell,. Wavin. Red ding, Rowan; Elliot, Lamb and Holds. These men tosliticd that lliey had gone. iron, (wiacinot. to precinct aoj repeated their votes for the Demo cracy. The)- wero known to belong lo tlio worst class of nneinty in Phila delphia, yet their testimony was ta ken aa truth by the committee before which the caso was tried, and on their evidence alone liunn was awarded the seat to which Witham had been returned. After the lapso of two years comes the sequel to this shameful his tory. Dunu is meanwhile elected to the lucrative -adlioe of Iteifister of Wills for the city of Philadelphia and his friend llurtnack, who bail done bim such excellent service in organis ing tbe corps of convenient witnesses in the contested case, being in want of the needful, makes application lo his successful patron for a littlo help in a matter of business. The unap prcciative Bunn coldly refuses to grant tbe modest request. Hurtnaclt is angered snd prosecutes Itenn for porjury in swearing to a bill of Costa lor witnesses in tho contested case A hearing is had before Alderman Dev itt, and Harttiack produces a warrant to the Speaker of the House of Rep. resentatives directing tho payment of $041.07 to W.

Hartnttck then testifies, (w o copy from Forney't Press) : ' J "I took an activo part in the Bunn; Witham contest, und subpoenaed all tho witnesses. They were seven in number.

Tbe neeossily fur them noi being required, they wore not subpoenaed. The seven witnossel called wero Slavnn, Lauib, Rowan, Elliot, Redding, Mitchell and Fields.

That wo are not having a repetition of this swindlo in the present Legislature, is owing partly to the firmness and forsighl of the Democratic majority in the Sen ate, and partly to tho 1'uct, that the lubors of tho high toned lawyer nnd puro minded patriot, J.
