REVENUE OFFICERS LN THE Sourir.—A communication from the Secretary of the Treasury, in response to the Senate's reso luticin of the 13th inst., states that the records of the Department do,not show that any persons have been appointed to any office not authorized by the existing law, but admits that persons have been appciinted to office who have not subscribed to the oath referred to under the customs and revenue laws in the lately insurgent States, but that no salaries had been paid, with one exception. The Secretary says he sought for persons for such offices who .could take the oath litterally; but failing to find them, he selected those who .gave no aid to the rebellion, until the Government of tLe United States had failed to give thorn the protection to which they were entitled. He believed that very few persons not belong ing to one of these two classes are holding positions under this department, and that an most of the Southern States nearly every .man fit for a Revenue officer was at some time either engaged in hostilities against the Government of the United States, or' liolding State or Confederate office, either willingly or unwillingly. He acted upon the presumption that Congress would modify the oath and not subject the South to the humiliation, or the revenue system to the odium which would result from the employment of Northern men as tax gatherers. He suggests the absolute neces sity of immediate action upon the subject. As:valuable services have been rendered, 110 payments have yet been made for such services, and the safety and efficiency of the revenue system in the South depend upon each a modification.

APEE. An Amusing Scene in Court QnAmacn. SEasioNs—Judge the lase of A. J. Riley, charged with being accessory to the burning of a stable at Ma nayunk, the jury rendered a verdict of guilty. Thejurors for the first period of the term were discharged from further attendanee. To-day was set apart tar desertion cases. Among those heard- this morning . was one which created no little merriment. "Pro fessor" Pinkham was charged with *desert ing his wife. The defendant who is a man of about fifty years of age was in the dock, and when his wifia, a lady of about 40 years of age, came forward to be examined, .the professor cotb — plained that he had no coun sel nor money to engage one. He requested the court to eLssign a member of, the bar to take charge df the case. Judge Allison did so. When the wife comnienced her testi-, mony, the husband desired to ciameput of the dock, and be allowed to take a seat near hisvlife ' so that he might be enabled to hear what was said. 'Mrs. Pinkham at once nbjected to this, and upon Judge Allison in quiring the reason, she replied: "He is a mesmerizer,and I will not be safe with him near me!" Judge Allison—Oh, never mind that; we will take care that he does you no harm." The defendant was then allowed to come forward and take a chair near his wife. She testified that she was married about a year ago at Chicago, after an acquaintance of aboutone week. Her husband was, he said., originally a Garpenter-joiner, but of late years he had become a . . , Nazarene," and traveled through the country lecturing on "Phreno logy, Anthropology, Magnetism, Clair voyance and Ethical Science as applied to the Moral, Social and Intellectual Improve ment of the Human Family. They resided together for a short time in New York, - where the Professor deserted his wife. She followed him to Massachusetts, New Hampshire and finally to Philadelphia, and had him arrested while delivering a lecture at the Assembly Building. ' During the examination Mrs. Irnakham produce° a large bundle of papers, to which she frequently referred. From the pile she produced one of the Professor's cir culars, setting forth the merits of his lecture and the benefit to be derived by those at tenditig. The Professor himself was armed with a bundle of equal size, and he too re ferred to his papers while prompting his attorney on the cross-examination. • It being evident from the testimony that the wife had no domicil in Philadelphia, Judge Allison informed her that she had no case, and that, therefore, her husband must be discharged. At the same time he recommended the parties to reconcile their difficulties and live together. Mrs. Pink ham expressed her willinness to follow this advice, provided her ' husband would support her. Both parties now engaged in arranging their papers, the Professor seeking to get out of Court first; his wife was too quick for him, and before he bad reached the door she was at his side. He turned in another direc tion, but the lady pursued, The scene pro duced considerable merriment among the spectators. Finally, the parties reached the Square, and here Mrs. Pinkham took the arm of her husband. He was not at all pleased with the arrangement, but finding it impossible to get rid of her he joined with her in a hearty laugh and both started for home, arm in arm. The Ketchum Case—A 8250,000 Snit. [From the N. T. Herald.] BEFORE JUDGESUTHERLAN D. —The Union -Valli:mat Bank, vs. Morris Ketchum, and others.—The complaint in this case sets forth the following facts:—On the 14th of August, 1865, defendants made their check, and ' directed same to the American Ex change Bank, requiring the bank to pay to order of Graham t Co. the sum of two hun dred and fifty thousand dollars, and then delivered the check to said Graham Et Co., who endorsed the same and delivered it to plaintiff. This check was duly intsented to the American Exchange Bank for pay ment and refused, defendants being notified.- Plaintiffs further allege that they are the lawful owners and holders of said check, and that defendants -are indebted to them therefore in the sum of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars with interest. In answer the defendants deny ever receiving anything for the check from Graham (ic, Co.; that the check was given to Graham tk; Co., without any consideration or value received therefor for the conveni ence and accommodation of Graham Co., and upon their promise and agreement to indemnify the defendants, and the latter are further informed and believe that the plaintiffs have not paid or advanced the amount of said check to said Graham SE, Co. Edward B. IZetehtun, Mr. Van Loan and other witnesses were examined as to the check, when the case was adjourned to this morning. A W A ILN IN( TO 17 01.7 Nei MEN.—The Jack - son ,Mich.) vitt.:.eit tells a good story of a young man in that city who had been in the habit of visiting the residence of a widowed lady, who had a daughter "passing fair," The young man was 9ssiduons in his atten tions, and was a constant visitor, This no tice awoke in the young lady's heart the tender passion, and in her dreams she im agined that she should become the wife of her Adonis. Matters kept on in the same old way. The young man continued his marked attentions, and people began to whisper among themselves: "A. match, sure!"while knowing ones, with a solemn toss of the headi would. remark, "What did I tell you? The young man went out to his supposed charmer's house the other even ing, for the purpose of taking tea. During the meal, the mother of the girl asked, "When are you and to be married?" The young man leaned back in the chair and.cbolly remarked that he had no idea of marrying anybody, and that he and the daughter were only friends. He said he supposed she understood it so all the, time. The young lady said not a word, but rose up and seized the teapot, which wasTdled with hot tea, took oif the lid, and threw its boil ing contents into his face, scalding him severely and leaving an ugly mark. She I then furiously ordered him out of her sight. "Hell bath no fury like a woman scorned," is an old saying, and this young man can attest ts its truth. SCAR ITY or Housns. New England seems to be suffering like Philadelphia, if we may judge from the following : But few houseshave been built in New England during the past four years of war and high prices, and the result is a general scarcity, which has become so pressing that the pro curement of a decent domidil by the home less is almost an impossibility. Darit!,g the past spring and summer hundreds of needs of • families made pilgrimages into the suburbs in the vain hope of obtaining a residence by lease or purchase, bat in most cases they were doomed to disappointment. We do not believe ,that within a range of twenty miles of Boston there are more than fifty houses for sale or, rent, and to obtain even these.it would be necessary to pay • a large advance upon former prices. This scarcity will, by the next spring, become so severe as to require the erection of a large number of dwellings, even if the pment hi cost of btrlig.lug continuo to p g ev h aiL- ttAILY EVENING BULLVEIN ! iI.,ADELPE2A, FIRATVT.

This is very commendable. From the time of the open-, )pg of the saloon on the 17th of May 4 1861, itritil . its final closing on the first of the present month, the Committee have labored ardently and faithfully for the en tertainment of the brave fellows who. were on their way to figt for the Union. At all tittles of the night and day this work was performed from purely patriotic motives, and an earnest desire to afford comfort to the soldiers who were about to risk their' lives for their country, or who were re 'turning after many hard-fought battles. The Committee certainly deserve the thanks of the community for the satisfactory man ner in which the duties have been perform ed, and the thousands of men who were provided with meals by the ladies and gen tlerden will ever hold them in , grateful re- Menibrance. 4i LSE ALAR3L—This morning about . 21 o'cloct an alarm of fire was sounded from box .1 1 ro. 17, located at the United States Ar senal at Gray's Ferry. The fire department of the First and Second District responded promptly to the alarm, but no tire could be found - . The firemen were justly indignant a .having been called out upon such a cold night and when the roads were, in such a rough condition, without any cause. The watchman at the Arsenal states that he gave the alarm at the request of a man wearing a police uniform, with belt and club, but no badge. The policemen on that and adjoin ing beats were brought before the watch man, but he could riot identify any ofthem. The affair is under investigation by Fire Marshal Blackburn and Capt. John Craig, the commandant at the Arsenal. A DASTARDLY Ac-r.—An attempt was made a night or two since to throw from • the track, the through train which leaves the city at 51 o'clock. P. M. for Germantown. A rail braced with ties was placed across the track on a curve just below Wayne Station. A young man, residing at Nice town, who was returning home from his work, observed the obstruction and at tempted to remove it but was stoned and compelled to flee for his life. He ran down the road to a telegraph station over the Reading Railroad, where he obtained a lantern with which he succeeded in stop ping the train, which came thundering along a few minutes afferwards. The timely discovery of this dastardly act no doubt prevented a frightful loss of the. FlBS.—About eleven o'clock last night a slight fire occurred at the Victoria Coal Oil works, at Washington and Twentieth streets, belonging to Logan & Lloyd. It seems that while Edward McDermott, a night distiller, was at work some oil escaped from the still and blazed up. For a short time a serious conflagration was threatened, but Mr. McDermott through great exertions and by throwing dirt and mud upon the flames, succeeded in ex tinguishing them. He was slightly burned in his efforts to subdue the fire. A police man who observed the threatening aspect of the fire gave the alarm, but fortunately the services of the firemen were not re quired. Tna WATER Dkra.ulamwr.—The bill making the annual appropriation to the Water Department, failed to get through City Councils last evening, owing to a dis agreement between the two Chambers in regard to certain members. The cot tee of Conference, to which the matte wag referred, agreed upon the bill this morning. The total amount of the appropriation is $349,075. This is a decrease of about $20,000 from the last annual appropriation and a reduction of .$19,200 from the original esti mates. The revenue of the department has increased $64,000 over the receipts of last year.

She promised to get the money and bring it down to the villains, at the door, where they agreed to wait for it, and went immediately to the stranger's room, roused him, and told the situation of things, and asked his ad vice. He told her to take the money down as agreed on, light a lamp that he might see through the door, and, as she gave the money, to step out of the way, so that he could get a fair shot at the recipients. She obeyed instructions, and immediately after getting hold of the money the fellow fell, while the other two,,before they could recover from their stonishment, were served in, like manner, and the whole three were thud bagged. On examination, one of the parties proved to be a brother-in-law of the widow, and the others near neighbors.

In a short time after he was attacked as stated, and carried into the house. At last accounts he was slightly improving in his condition, although still unable to communicate intelligibly." J. M.
