SECOND EDITION. LATE FROM WASHINGTON. TREATY) WITH JAPAN. The Three Million Indemnity, Fire in Portland. Intercourse With Japan. WASHINGTON, April 28.—The President has officially preelnimed the convention be tween the Empire of Japan and the Go vernments of the United States, Great Brit ain, France, and Holland ; providing for the payment to these governments of the sum of $3,000,000 for indemnities and ex penses. This convention was made in view of the hostile acts of Mori-Daizen, Prince of Nagato and Smoo, which were assuming such formidable proportions as to make it difficult for the Tycoon faithfully to ob serve the treaties, the governments above named having been obliged to send their combined forces to the straits of Simonosaki in order to destroy the batteries erected by that Daimio for the destruction of foreign vessels and the stoppage of trade,and the government of the Tycoon, on whom devolved the duty of °has tieing this rebellious prince, being held res ponsible for any damage resulting to the interests of treaty powers, as well as the ex penses occasioned by the expedition. The Governments of the United States, Great Britain, France and Holland declare in the Convention, that inasmuch as the re ceipt of money has never been the object of the said Powers, but the establishment of better relations with Japan, and the desire to place them on a more satisfactory and mutually advantageous footing is still the leading object in view, and therefore if his majesty the Tycoon wislies to offer in liea of payment of said claims and as material compensation for losses and injuries sustained, the opening of Simonosaki or some- other elegible port in the island sea, it shall be at the option of the said foreign governments to accept the same or insist on the payment of the indem nity in money under the conditions above stipulated. Fire in Portland. - PORTLAND, April 28.—A brick stable in Temple street, owned by Charles H. Adams, and occupied by H. L. Taylor & Co., was burned this morning, with five horses, four of which were valued at $l,OOO each, and all the carriages harness,etc. The total loss is quite large. Price of blota in mew York.

The Income Tax. It should be remembered by tax-payers that the Ist of May is the time fixed by the Internal Revenue law for the return of schedules of incomes to the Assistant Asses sors. The amended law of March 3, 1865, is still in force, and it is officially announced that the assessment 'of this year will be made in accordance with its provisions, re gardless of any action of Congress on the new Tax bill just. reported to the House. The Senate_ refused to concur in the House resolution providing for an exten sion of time for two months, in order to permit the new law to go into opera tion. Taxpayers, therefo-e, are reqaired to furnish their schedules to the Assistant As sessors in their respective districts on or be fore Tuesday next. The Assessoi is under no legal obligation to send blank forms; he may do so as an act of courtesy, but it is the business of the taxpayers to find hie office, obtain the blanks, fill them up and return them. In case of neglect or refusal, the As sessors are empowered to make the return and to add a penalty of twenty-five per cent, or, in case of fraud, to add one hun dred per cent. to the amount ascertained to be due. The duties on incomes are payable within sixty days after the return of the soheudle to the assessorthat is, on or before the 30th day of June. The income must be reckoned for the year ending December 31, 1865, and the tax . is 5 per cent. on all sums between $6OO and $5,000. and 10 per cent. on the excess over $5,000. The deductions permitted are: 1. The sum of $6OO from all :incomes ; 2. All national, State, county,', and municipal taxes paid with in the year (including theincome tax paid last summer.) • 3. The amount paid for rent, or the rental value of any home stead occupied by the taxpayer or his family, in his own right or in the right of his wife; 4. The amount paid for usual or ordinary repairs, taking the average of the preceding five years. These are all the de ductions that can be made. The income tax is a lien upon property if not paid within the time fixed by law, and the collectors are invested with full powers to take legal proceedings for distraint and collection. The proper observance of the time and manner of payment will there fore save the taxpayer much trouble.— Evening Post. it:4L9RILffika:MIALL.

[Special Despatch to the Bulletin.] WA SHIN GTON, April 28.—The Reconstruc tion Committee are still in session. They are determined to agree upon a plan before they .adjourn. The one suggested by the New York delegation is looked upon with favor, and will in the main be adopted. It is not as radical as some wish, but it is the best that can be carried in committee. Several Southern senators are still here and one of them asserted to-day that no plan adopted by that Committee would be acceptable to the South. The Southern States, be said, had done all that was re quired of them by the President and that was as far as they intended to go. The Ways and Means Committee have referred the Tariff question to a sub-43orn mittee.. It will take them at least a week or ten days to report upon the subject. No action has yet been taken by the Fi nance Committee on Pennsylvania appoint ments. XXXINTH CONGRESS—FIRST SESSION. WASIELNGTON, April 25. Rorsm—The house met for general debate on the President's annual message. Mr. Schofield (Pa.) addressed the Rouse on the sub ject of BeconstruMion. The premises which he as sumed were that the disloyal population of the South would not exceed five millions; that this population was so distributed, that if the late seceded States were admitted without conditions, they yr. old be able to elect twenty-six Senators and eighty-four Representa tives, thus permitting one-seventh of the whole popu lation of the United States_ to control more than one-third of Its legislative power. and that this control would be used for the destruction of the Government. He argued that the seceded States came back to the Union only by coercion: that it was a forced bridal, that the origi nal cause of secession, hatred of the North and its anti. Mayers , majorities, was much stronger now than in 1561. They did not even profs a Lobe In favor of the Union, though untruthful men from the North pre varicated for them. If they could they would revive the Confederacy at once, and they would use their power to provoke a war with Great Britain or France hoping thereby to secure their own independence. For this state of things three remedies bad been proposed. l. To disfranchise the leading rebels. 2. To new reline their votes by enfranchising the blacks. 8. To makethepopnlation. minus ibe dis franchised clams, or the number of votes, the heels of representation. Be advocated the third proposition, claiming that it was the republican plan of reconstruc tion. 7he delay in reconstruction he attributed to the opaltion of the democrats. They fought all reconstruction that did not allow the return of their long mourned friends, more numerous and more malevolern than ever. But there was no need of great baste The rebels had been for five years out upon plague-infected seas, and could they not now tang at quarantine for a single session The President's policy, as exhibited in his corres- Deadeye* with his Provisiov al Governors, was not in consistent with this plan. His breath was even now the law 01 the land in those States. The Democrats. were pursuing him with unrelenting rriendship. and if they finally seduced him, his friends could rejoice that "the ps sit at least Is secure," The President's patriotic thoughts of the last five 3 ears would still live,although only to reprove him. Tae propcsitlen to admit lOyal representatives from the Studs he, Mr. Scofield, regardea as a snare fruit as Semmes had hung out the Ur.lon flag as a decoy to un armed merchant vessels, replac-ng it with the pirate emblem when he had secured hie ße replied at length to the leading objections made to the Republican p'an of reconstruction contrasting it with the policy advocated by the Opposition. if the latter were to succeed. the Confederates would have eighty votes In the next Electoral . College, and would need only seventy-seven more to elect a President Of these they claimed thirty-one from the semi-Confederate States, and exposed the Democrats of New Jersey New Yore and Connecticut to make up th e remaining forty-six. The Government would then be tun entirely in the in terests of the rebels and then would be realized what the opposition. in different phraseology constantly asserted was the °Meet of the war..vir, to compel the rebels to become the rulers of the nation.

CHARGE OF JUDGE ALLISON. THE FINDING OF THE JURY. Bearing of the Prisoner. [Continued from the Second Mitten.] He is brought face to face with the mother of one of the murdered ones, who recognizes the very necktie he Lad on as one made by hen eir for Christopher Deer ing. and Who identifiee upon the prisoner the very shirt he wears, as one stolen from Mr. Desring's house. Subsequently investigation discloses the fact that the two watches, the two pistols, the two powder flasks, the two razors, and every article carried from the scene by the guilty one were traced to the pomesslen of this man, who was alone when he was arrested In Market street, alone at Leckfeld'a, alone at Straub's, alone at Lavinia's, alone at Susan Smith's. alone at Moore's, alone at Deering's, alone ID prison, alone in that dock, alone, without coufederate or accom plice lathe world—for bow idle would it be to suppose that any one had shared the danger and the horrors of that scene, and would not have shared the plunder for which all this was performed and endured. - You must have noticed, dentlemen of the Jury, that I have not offered any proof of statements or confes sions made by ;the prisoner. ID so conducting the ease I have acted according to the best of my judg ment. I was fully conscious that the ex ertions of the police and the faciliti s afforded by the citizens had collected a mass of evi dente that fixed the guilt of this prisoner beyond all doubt. I care nnthing, and I imagine you care no. tbir g, as to what he said or could say about it, as at fording any light in the case or enabling us to arrive at a , y correct conclusion in its decision Who could expect truth from the lips of such a man as this prisoner is p oved to be. Did ever any crimi nal, hardened enough to take the lite of even one mad. tell the truth, the whole truth, In regard to his crime? Bow then can it be expected that the murderer of tight human beings, the murderer of a mother, with her little children by her side; the murderern - if the lad, his companion and his bed-fellow; the murderer of bis employer and benefactor, would prove suddenly truthful, and detail 'acts and circumstances upon wb 'ch we could rely with any degree of certainty? Did truth ever seen such a lodging place—ever fix her tnrone in the breaat of such a man? No! Search his heart, and you'll find murder, theft, deceit, treacnery, ingratitude, and Inst. all dwelling there—can you expect that truth could exist in auca a piece and: with such lodgers. Besides, gentlemen I felt a pride in demonstrating the fact that In all mur ders such as these there were unmistakab , e evidences of guilt, around ate about it- that would of themselves afford a clue to the detection and punishmeut of the perpetrator. 'I he very purpose for which this murder was accom pushed indicated that the wretch who did it did It fo the purpose of acquiring the means to gratify his low and brutal instincts. and the officers did well to make Mater t search at Leek feld t's house. and among haunts of vice and dissipation frequented by theveay outcasts of society. They showed their discrimination to search viler= they found the brute bad beett consorting with the lg norant and degraded Lavinia; none but a fiend In wit heart bad expired every spark of his celestial origin could base contrived, plotted and plann. d- an,:h murder.

A soldier! A man against whose brutality none are safe—s man who murders young and old, spares neither age nor sex, and hurries into eter nity by dashing out the brains and cutting the throats of such innocent beings as the Master spoke of when he said "Of such is the kingdom of Heaven." No, Gentlemen of the Jury—Anton Probst is not a soldier. He is a thief and a murderer. He is proved to be such by evidence most conclusive in its character, by facts so clearly shown that to turn from them would be to rlose our eyes, to abut out the light of the sun. and ask, Is it day? I have urged this trial speedily, with unusual speed. because such a cries eas this is not only unusnaL but tuknown to criminal annals. There are no words to ireta:normi , y.ilebrainwhlrla, and the icter secontptei:andl am ser e, gentle men. you relieve not only the community ard this Court, but yourselves, by speedily convicting this man of the crime of which be is proven guilty. Without such conviction human justice would be a mockery, and the trial by jury a delus.on and a snare. Standing here pleading for a father murdered, a mother butchered. a household destroyed, a desolated bone, an outraged community, and for the justice of the commonwealth: I feel that I have a right to ask you to resolutely and sternly perform your duty by the conviction of this prisoner, and by such averdict teach ail such wandering criminals that the boil of Pennsyl vania is an unsafe place for the perpetration of rapine and murder. Teach them that the commonwealth's Justice will watch them by day and by night, will pursue them as surely and as steadily "as cons lens cm their bloody tracks," and will swiftly arrest and exolthemlo the just veneance of an outraged law : i t t eesme psion:i.4ss peech , ge.son proceeded to charge the jury. Charge of Judge Allison. Gentlemen of the Jury:—lshail endeavor to be brief in wbat I have 'to soy to you—brie In discussing the practical question which you will shortly be called upon to decade—a question of the first magnitude to the public and to society, a question doubtless of vast Importance to the pri scner at the bar. This, gentlemen. is no ordinary case. The claw tion connected with the murder of the Deering family is such as to startle this community, when catled upon to investigate the circumstance with the hope of discovering the guilty party. it is not often that sensurder can be compared to the mur der of Christopher Deering and the circumstances as they have been proved in this trial—these circa:im mures:et indicating that at the time Christopher Deering met his death, he died not singly not alone, but be died one of eight vied ns, whose lives were all taken,the Commonwealth arguing as part of the transaction. And yet we are trying the question of the guilt or innocence of the prisoner charged not now with the murder of eight human beings, but charged singly and aloneon the bill of indictment with the murder of Christopher Deering. It is necessary and proper. therefore that I should say to the jury that you are to decide this question upon the evidence which has been submitted to you.as to the guilt or In nocence of the prisoner of the particular offence laid in that bill of Indictment. In the coarse of this trial It has been permitted to the Com monwealth to give la evidence all the facts and sur f oundil i tre . jast as they were discovered at the time and immed ly atter the diccovery of the death of Chris topher Deering. Tnat was not permitted, how ever, for the purpose of entering upon An inveattgal ion of who it was who took the lives of the other persons found there at the time, but it errs because It became necessary that the jury should have, through the months of the wit r.es..es. a true and rentable account of the arcane fiances as far as they could be testified to by witnemes—the time, place surroundings and facts, which must have occurred when Christopher Deering lust his ifs. When you were celled to the stand as jurors for the purpose of settling the ques tion raised by the Issue between the Commonwealth and the prisoner, you and each of you were asked severally whether you had formed or expressed an opinion of the ranter innocence of the prisoner. Most of you said you had termed an opinion from the =Manta of this transaction you read, or I coal the statements you heard, but each of you an swered upon your eaths that notwithstanding this im pression or opinion, you could enter that box as im partial and unbiased jurors.and decide this question ac cording to the evidence and that alone. I beg to remind you or the meaning of that answer widenyou gave when the Commonwealth was seeking for a jury, and when the prisoner interrogated each of you minutely es to the exact condition of your mind, and Ido this now when the testimony is closed, and when you are about to enter upon that deliberation which must determine for the prisoner the question of , _pie and death, in order to bring before you the solem hity of thatloath, and to say that you are bound by this oath to decide the case according to the evidence. It is the glory of the law that it will not permit the life of any man to be taken unless there be full and suffi cient evidence to warrant such a conclusion. It is the duty of the Court to say to you that you are not to decide this case by the outside surroundings, by popular clamor, by tumult or by the influence of the honest indignation which you May feel at the hortid atrocity of the murder cons united under circumstances like to that which has claimed your attention for thelastfour days. You have sworn tbatyou will decide the case according to the evidence; and I ask your attention to your solemn dn ty, to my. not whether a murder has been com mitted—not to say whether lives were taken, but to say whether the prisoner at the bar is the person. ac cording to the evidence in this case, who took the life of Christopher Deering. If this evidence does not satisfy you of that fact, regardless of the stir. roandings to which I have referred, it Is your solemn duty to say that this prisoner is not guilty in manner and form as he stands indicted. You cannot be ac quitted of your high and solemn duty if you decide the question of the guilt or innocence of the _prisoner by any other consideration or motive or influence than the evidence which the Commonwealth has submitted to you in ibis trial: Judge Allison then reviewed the testimony at great length, and the case was given to the jury at HALF PAST 2 O'CLOCK. The jury then retired to deliberate upon a verdict. The Court did not adjourn, but re mained In sessionth the expectation of a speedy de cision on the part of the Jurors. . During the entire session of the Court today the crowd Inside the building was dense. We have never in all our experience seen anything to approach it. Every spot except the bench and the prisoner's doom was densely packed with people. Even the space in side the railing appropriated to the officers of the Courtwas crowded, many ladies beingpresent to listen to the closing efforts of the counsel engaged in the ab sorbiog case. It was utterly impossible to work one's way through the diatom throng, particularly after the District Attorney commenced his argument, and the .manuscript of the reporters had to be passed ever the heads of the bystanders to messengers who communi cated with the scribes inside by means of notes passed in in the same way as "cony" was conveyed out. At fifteen minutes before three o'clock the jury returned into Court. As ,soon as the flurry occasioned by their entrance had sub sided, Judge Allison addressed the persons present, urging them to abstain from any demonstration of approbation or disappro bation. This was a solemn proceeding, and those who should so far forget themselves as to do anything offensive to the dignity of the Court or the solemnity of the occasion wouldsurely be punished. The roll of jurors was then called. The lurors were then directed to stand up and to ook upon the prisoner. The latter was di rected to stand up and lookupon the j aFors. The Clerk, Mr. George H. Moore, then in quired if they had agreed upon a verdict. The response was in the affirmative. The foreman, in a clear voice then said, that they found Anton Probst, the prisoner at the bar, GUILTY OF MURDER OF THE FIRST DEGREE. At the request of the prisoner's counsel, the jury was then polled, and each man answered GUILTY OF MURDER OF THE FIRST DEGREE. District Attorney Mann then gave notice that on Tuesday morning next he would move the judgment of the Court; and the sentence of the law upon Anton Probst,-the prisoner. Deportment , of the Prisoner. As the jury re-entered the Court-room, we sat within half-a7dozen feet of the.prisoner, closely scanning his countenance. His usual stolid aspect did not evince the slight est change, but a heavin'g of 'his eheEit showed that he realized, at least to some de gree; that the crisis had arrived. After the jury had taken their' planes and had 7iFPP to give their verdict, Probst rot* awkwardler, at the bidding of the Court, and awaited the fatal words. There was• still no blenching, no evidence of any unusual emotion. The solemn words which fell upon the crowd and hushed them into total silence were received by the murderer with that , strange impassiveness that has character ized him throughout the trial. He remained standin while the jury was: polled, and after this bad been done, sank again into his seat, with far less appearance of concern than bad marked the bearing of the men who bad pronounced his doom. We do not believe that Probstis a cool or" collected man, but he has that phlegmatic manner and that generally low moral tone in regard to any estimate of the value ofhu man life that renders it impossible for him to appreciate the enormity of the crime Which either revenge or avarice has prompt ed him to commit. He will no doubt main tain the same stolid bearing until the last act of the tragedy, when he expiates his crime upon the scaffold. CITY B AN OLD CHARGE.—A young man was arrested last night by Officer W. F. Young, of the Sixth District Police, upon the charge of arson, corn mined eight years ago. On the night of the 3d of April is B, four incendiary fires were started at once in the vicinity of Broad and Baca streets. They were di*, covered, and the flames were extinguished before much Carnage bad been done. One of the buildings fired was a frame dwelling, in which eight persona were sleeping. An investigation by the Fire Marshal showed that tour young men bad been concerned in the work. Three of the offenders were arrested. One was allowed to turn State's evidence, another was acquit ed.and Alfred Beck, a bad man and who was the principal of the crowd, was convicted and sent to the Eastern Peaitentlary. The fourth one escaped, and for eight? ears has kept away from Philadelphia, tieing at sea most of the time. He baa recently returned and was arrested last night, as above stated. This arrest illustrates the fact that juVice is sometimes slow but it is sure. Parties rarely commit a serious crime with out being captured sometime, even after the lapse of years. Beck mentioned above, served out his time in the Penitentiary.and then went into the Marine corps. Re returned to Philadelphia last winter, and a few weeks ago set fire to the slanebter house of John Smith, in Cowslip street, Tenth Ward. by which oae home and eighteen calves were burned. He tied to Brooklyn, where be was arrested and brought back to the city. He is now in llloyamensing prison awaiting trial. Tam ARCH STREET MIIRDER.—A young man was arrested, last night, by Officer Demand, of the Harbor Police, on suspicion of having been con cerned in the murder of tames Needs, the colored porter at White's Dental Depot, in Arch street, in oc , taber last. An investigation by the detectives, this morning, showed that the prisoner had been seen with a couple of sets of teeth, and some gold plate about the time of the robbery in Arch street. The prisoner denies all knowledge of - the murder, and makes his statements in a straightforward man ner. It ia believed that he bad nothing to do with the crime wi'-h which be is now charged; but as he la known to have,been an assrciate of theirs it is thought that the'articles alleged to have been seen in his pos session, were stolen trom some dental establishment. A hearing in the case will take place this afternoon.
