EVENING BULLETIN. Irittuvito,y; January so, less. • dha L 1 UT' IN THE STREETS. In s• letter from one of the 'Paris ccaes pondents of the% Itur.i.ing, a few days ago, allusion was made to - some experiments with a mew procesx of burning the , gas in the street lamps; by which a greatly inereased light was obtained at a very t moderate ex pense. Some further particulars concerning the process and the experiments are given in the Paris papers. !The inventors are Messrs.. Tessier du hlothity and Ilarechal. 'Their ex periments were made by permission of the city governreent, on the night of the Bth of January, on'tbe•Place of the Hotel de, Ville, one of the most central of the public places or squares of Paris, where a great crowd Nes assembled to•witness the results pf the new invention. The new process issaid to consist in the complete combustion of the common illumi nating gas by oxygen. A small cylinder of magnesium is placed• in the middle of the turning gas jet, and the result is a quantity of light which, according to the photometer, is sixty times that produced by burning the same amount of gas in the ordinary way. That is to say, the burner, under the new arrangement, will produce as much light as sixty of those now in use. The cost of pro_ dicing the oxygen. for the purpose is said to be seventy-two centimes the cubic metre, or somewhere about thirteen cents the cubic yard, according to United States values' and measures, which, of course; in an article of this kind, not meant to be scientifically ac curate, are only compared approximately to the French. • The economical question is stated more particularly, in the French journal before us, in this way : Three cubic metres of com mon illuminating gas and four cubic metres of oxygen, worth eight francs and ninety cen times, (or about one dollar and eighty cents) produce, according to the experiment just made, the same quantity of light as is pro duced by one hundred and eighty cubic metres of gas burned in the ordinary way, the cost of which in Paris is , •fifty-four francs, or a little over ten dollars. •It is easily to be seen, therefore, that by a proper distribution of_burners,a_very_few, with the new-improve-- went, will light a public • street or square, much better and much more: cheaply than a large number of burners will do it under the ordinary system. These experiments, it is remarked, are made while the invention is novel, . and under the disadvantages that must attend every practical trial, on a large scale, of a wholly new dis covery. There has never been an invention, scientific and mechanical, that did not become cheaper, simpler and better in its workings, as time passed and other minds besides the discoverer's were directed towards it. The modes of. separating oxygen from the atmo sphere, for the complete combustion of the street gas, may be many besides that of using magnesium, which, after all, may not be the one used by the French inventors, for they, very properly, do not divulge their process, and the report we quote from may be made• pattly from conjecture. But the experiments prove that the oxygen is separated in some may; that it produces a light for the streets which Flakes. it as safe to go abroad at night as by day, and that the whole cost is much less than that of the present mode of half light ingthe streets which prevails in most cities. There seems to .he,a revolution impending in the local administration of the gas manu facture of Philadelphia. As compared with the street-lighting to be found in Paris, even without the new process, ours is very de fective. `There are three lamps in Paris to one in. -Philadelphia, in a corresponding spew. t But if the City Councils should take the gas works from the Trustees, and assign their management to competent persons, di rectly responsible to them, then the people will expect that the new officers will avail themselves of all meritorious discoveries and inventions, either for, producing better light or for saving expense. A gas lamp in a street has often prevented murder, burglary and 'other climes. It has often afforded the means of 'detecting and punishing criminals. If the .invention of •Messrs. Tessier dpi Mothay and .Mareehal, of Paris, is what it is repre sented to be, there is no • reason why every street of a great city may not be made as - light Wnight - asitis - byday,arrata - mucti less cost.than. is paid for. the halflighting that is now furnished. .The peace of the com munity and the security of life and proPerty demand that advantage be taken of every dis covery for producing such a result. THE EMEE,DBIJEIVIS .BUREAU. It has been determined by the Committee on Freedmen's Affairs that the condition of the &nth absolutely demands the continuance of the 'Freedmen's Bureau for - another year. , tinder the existing law, the operations of the Bureau cease in July next, and General Howard has indulged the hope that at that time this agency might be dispensed with. The Commissioner, eager only to serve the country, and always ready to relinquish office and power when his services should . be no 'longer needed, indicated in his last annual re port his opinion that, under a certain state of :wire, which he clearly defined, the Bureau might be closed in July of this year. General Howard said: "I am of opinion that it will behest to discon tinue the rellef-afforded by the Freedmen's Bu reau, if possible, when the term of the bureau shall expire by law, except in the educational work, and In the settlement of such claims for back pay and bounty to colored soldiers as may remain at that time unsettled. This may he done, provided that proper arrangements be first made with the several States interested to take charge of the indigent classes, which are now re ceiving more or less assistance from the general government. "With regard to the educational division of the bureau, which As,.,beyo.nit.reeeser_e,, itulier tant,l would recommend its transft3r to the Do partment of Education, or to some zither perma. tient United States agency, which dial' have temple power to sustain and extend the present system, and also the transfer to such agency of all bureau funds unexpended next July. 4 1teEpectiug the unsettled claims for buck pay iknd bounty,. I am of opinion that thla division should be continued in connection with the War Dcpaxlinent as long an it shall la 3 deemed nece4- atary ley the Secretary of War for the completion of the work cominitted to its charge. "It may seem hazer:lolls to withdraw this bureau agerity SO soon; it may appear like sure untie ring the freed people to the IlirecOm of I h wo who hate , not shown theineehed particu Italy friendly to fiecir Interests; this reef/milieu -4,.1dpyl jet basell oullke belief th n. t I tit Clle.t 111'111 Slates where the bureau exists or has existed will bs ecoopkte/y reconstructed by next July; and the fro semen. having all the rtqhts of citizenship, cpi protect themselves with such aid as the United •States military forces may be able to render, the only bar to dile result being, the ignorance of, those who ha l ve not tret been reirehed by the in fluences of education.. 'This ignorance will be remedied gradually by, the States establifiaing and setting in operatlork thorough systems of common Schools." But it has become evident to the Commis sioner, as well as to all who have closely studied the aspect of Southern affairs, that the first of July next will not see such a condition of things as General Howard had hoped for, and that, therefore, his "recommendation for the discontinuancis of the Bureau no longer remains in force. General Howard very wisely relies upon education as the ,great lever that is to raise the degraded population of the South, both white and -black, and he therefore urges that the educational work of the Bureau be continued, sustained and ex tended. But the education which the freed men need reaches far beyond the mere knowledge of book-learning. They need to be taught how to work, how to save, how to live. Their centuries of training in slavery have taught them none of these things, and it is, therefore, not to be wondered at that such 'reports come to us,through General How ard's deputies, of idleness, thriftlessness and discontent. While the Freedmen's Bureau is doing a noble' work in the instruction of the childieitof the freedmen, it has yet a vast field before it for work among the freedmen themselves. While teaching them their new political rights and duties, it is the duty of the agents of the Bureau to in struct and encourage them in the true princi ples of economy, industry and honest labor. The future prosperity of these emancipated millions depends, in large measure, upon the direction which is now given to them. While they should be carefully protected against position, injustice and abuse, they should be everywhere encouraged to settle down to steady labor. It will not take them a very long time to appreciate the value of good ad vice and honest encouragement, and the planters who now complain so loudly that the negro will not work will and that fair and patient and kind dealing on their part will soon make him industrious, contented and thrifty. On the part of the Freedmen's - Bureaw whose continuance for another year may now be considered assured, one thing is essential— an untiring watchfulness over its administra tion, as it is ramified all over the South in the hands of its' subordinate agents. From the very nature of the service, the agent is gene rally far removed from the personal inspec tion of his superior, and the temptations to maladministration are very numerous and very strong. The complaints of petulant planters or factious politicians are, of course, e of no consequence; but whenever there are well-authenticated cases of Bureau agents abusing their office by the gratification of petty spite, the) advancement of personal interest or by any other unworthy conduct. there should be prompt and searching inves tigation and summary punishment. The work of the Bureau is seriously retarded by such men, and they should be got rid of as fast as possible, even if .there is no good man ready to take their place. No agent at all is far better for the freedmen than a bad one. The renewal of the lease of the Freedmen's Bureau will be a good opportunity to make a thorough examination in this respect, and to effect such changes as may be needed to se cure the welfare of the blacks and the confi dence and co-operation of the well-disposed among the whites of the South. • TIRE lItOPI.CLADEI. A sensible thing was done by the Senate yesterday, in amending the bill for the whole sale disposal of our iron-clad fleet. The amendment, which comes from the Naval Committee, retains the best iron-clads and only sells those of the inferior classes. Such vessels as the Dictator, second-rate, two guns ; the Monadnock, third-rate, four guns the Kalamazoo, scond-rate, , four Suns, and the Passaic, fourth-rate, two guns are in eluded in the Senate amendment. The Dictator and the Puritan (the latter yet build ing at New York) are the only two vessels we have of that class. The formidable and famous Monadnock has our consorts, the Agamenticus, M ianto nomoh, Onondaga and Tonawanda. - --The- - -Kalamazoo — is- - onn,-of—four powerful iron -clads, and, with the Passaconaway, Quinsigamond and Shackamaxon, is still in the course of construction. These three classes alone will give us a fleet of ten of the most effective jiron-clads in the world. In addition to these, are the monitors of the Pas saic class, carrying two guns, and more closely resembling the original Monitor. • There are thirty-three of these, and of these it is proposed to sell nearly all, retaining nine of the beat of them. The policy 'of stripping the navy of its most effective strength by an indiscriminate sale of the iron-clads was a most unwise one. Mile every maritime power of the world is maintaining a powerful ironclad fleet, the United States should not be lett wholly un protected in this respect. The necessity and propriety of retrenchment make it desirable to sell all useless vessels, but the instinct of self-protection dictates the prudence of pro viding against war in times of peace. The House will doubtless accede to the Senate amendment on this subject, and the more readily from the consideration that very few of the iron-clads are in commission and their cost to the Government is therefore almost nothing. It is to be hoped for the credit of the coun try, that the appointment of Mr. S. S. Cox to the Austrian mission will not be confirmed by the Senate. It was at first regarded as a -matter -of - course that - sucbwould:nbt be the case, but it now appears that :the Senate Committee, with the'assistanceof two of its Republican members, will report favorably, upon Min, and it may be that he will be ' confirmed by a close vote in the Senate. For many reasons this would be - a - source of regret to the loyal men of the country. In the flrat place Mr: Seward, by means of a deliberate insult, compelled the resignation from that mission of one of the very ablebt,purest and most intensely Republican men thiit have ever represented the United States abroad and to confirmone of Mr. Johnson'ti - disciples as THE DAILY EVENT ui BULLETIN pET 4 p,m4k, T i t umpAy i 44*T,JARY,rao, 148. his successor, would simply be to endorse Mr. - Beward's conduct, and to assist him to reward A, man who has aided him by persist,. ently endeavoring to overturn the Republican party. , In the next place it 'is desirable that we should berepresented abroad by a man who is a thorOugh exponent of Axnerican princi ples. Mr. Cox is in no sense a representative American. 'lt has always been believed that during the war be advocated secession, by insisting upon the reconstruction of the Union with the New England States left out. This he has denied since his nomination ,to the foreign mission makes a reputation for loy alty desirable. But whether it is the fact or not, it is unquestionably true that. Mr. Cox was not only a virulent and dangerous Cop perhead during the war; that during the struggle his influence and votes were always cast in favor 'of the rebels and against the Union cause, but since the close of the war ho has supported Andrew Johnson in every act of lawlessness and treachery that has dim: graced his administration. Such a man as this is not to be trusted to speak in a foreign land for the American people. There are Plenty of better, purer and abler men who can be had for the mission. If the President will not nominate one of these, let the Aus trian embassy remain vacant. Better nobody than Sunset Cox•. The country will probably be astonished shortly to observe General Grant, the bold soldier who has faced death upon several bat tle-fields, assume the attitude of Trabbs boy in "Great Expectations" and requeat some one to "hold him, he is so frightened." In the meantime, perhaps it will be judicious for the managers of the great. Republican party to look around for another and more suitable candidate for the Presidency, one, in fact; who will not fail, as General Grant has done, in securing the confidence and the support of the Mobile Times. For the fact is, that that powerful journal, after advocating Grant's election for some months past, has become utterly disgusted with his conduct in admit ting Secretary Stanton to the War Office, and has not only endeavored to humiliate him by taking his name down from the head of its column, but with a savage ferocity that is alarming and indicative of a thirst for blood, has called upon General Sherman to seize the command of the army, to "crush down Con gressional aggression," and do his duty in that "era of revolution which has now opened," and which "can be neither long nor doubtful." This is really dreadful, and if General Sherman accepts the advice, poor Grant, in ignominious retirement, or perchance upon the scaffold, will probably curse that unfortu nate peculiarity of teinperament,that unlucky obstinacy of disposition which constantly, during his public career, has led him to act in direct violation of the wishes of the South ern gentry. "'Tomas ever thus. Just when ever the rebels succeeded in getting him "where they wanted him," in war or peace, he cut some fantastic antic and turned up in the most objectionable attitude. This man must be put down. The Mobile Times ob jects to him. Haul down your flags, hang figurative crape 'upon your hopes, sack cloth your loins, ye Republicans, sprinkle ashes in your hair, and try if you cannot force the nomination upon A. Johnson. Take General Grant out from the political world, bury him in the grave already crowded with the corpses of military failures, and write upon his tombstone, to complete his igno miny and make it beyond parallel shameful, "died of an editorial in the Mobile Times!" THE DICKENS READINGS.-Mr. Dickens con tinues his "Readings" this evening and to morrow. To-night the programme includes " Doctor Marigold" and " Bob Sawyer's Party," and the course closes to-morrow night with "David Copperideld " and "Boots at the Holly- Tree Inn."

HENRY , 5.:1t&NN15,:"ki.,00):8,...: \ i TRADE CIRCULAR, OLD RYE WHISKIES. PHILADELPHIA, January '47, 1.868 On February 26th last we gave a resumd of the. Old Rye Whisky market for the year 1866. Since then, as occasion seemed to require,we also gave, as per our Circulars of June Ist, August 19th,and October Bth,rather full reports as to theicourete the market had taken. At almost every issue of our Circulars for the last two years, we have availed ourselves of the opportunity to predict a con tinued advance of prices. The vticipations we thus all along indulged in, have been more than realized. From about Ist of February, 1867,until the assembling of Congress in November, the upward movement in prices was steady and Con tinuous. Altogether the market presented a most noticeable similarity to the year 1866, ex cept that the rise did not then commence so early as in last year. New Rye Whiskies, of favorite brands,sold in the spring of 1866 from 40c. to 50c. -in-bond.--By-the end -of- that -year i - the same brands, having undergone the summer's improve ment, sold readily at $1 25 to $1 50. Such good, noir, having two summers, command $3 00 to $3 75 in bond, and are fast going into consump tion. So with wry Whiskies manufactured in the winter and spring of 1867, which then sold at 70c. to 85c. and which now, having but one summer, cannot be obtained under $1 75 to $2 25 in bond. according to quality and brand !! For a short time after the meeting of Congress, owing to a fear of a modification of the mode of collecting the tax, and ofa possible reduction in, the rate, combined with a stringent money market,the trade ceased to operate with the same animation that characterized the previous por tions of the year. Notwithstanding these ad verse influences, however, prices showed no fall ing off. On the con trary,although the operations were of lees magnitude, the advance continued. The bill so suddenly sprung by the Committee of Ways and Means and passed by Congress in thetarly part of this month, thereafter prohibit ing the removal of Whisky from Distillery (Class A) Warehouses, except upon payment of tax, thus virtually closing the doors of' nearly all the Distillers of FINE RYE WHISKY in the country, and confining sales, and stock for future sales, to that already in Bonded (Claes B) Warehouses in the principal cities, produced, and is still pro ducing, an intense excitement. In the last two weeks at least seven or eight thousand barrels have changed hands, and we now witness an un paralleled high range of prices, and ts spectacle. the most extraordinary in the history of the trade. New Whiskies of fine quality,.this month's mnnufscture, that owners were fortunate enough to get here in time, have been sold_at $1 00 to $1 25, and now held higher. Those of December command $1 20 to $1 35; November, $1 25 to $1 40 ; October, $1 30 to $1 50 ; September. el 40 to $1 60, while August has eVen been sold as high as $1 75 to $2 00! ! These in bond, of course, and according to quality. Should the present law go unrepealed during this winter and spring, causing a general non-production upon an acknowledged already insufficient stock of Old Whiskies for the wants of the country, the effect must be to further materially enhance prices of that now in bonded warehouses of the description Claes B. Indeed, independent of such considera tion, the consumption of Rye Whiskies of 1866 and of the winter and spring of 1867, has been so great, that nothing but a continued advance in the prices of theisc particular ayes could have been looked for. - The causes, to which may be attributed the re sult alluded to, have been so specially dwelt upon and reiterated in our Circulars for the last two years, that it would seem almost out of place to go over the ground again. We may, however, be allowed to remark, that "as the proof .of the pudding is in the eating of it," so were not Fine Old Rye Whiskies REALLY VERY SCARCE, the trade would not have been engaged in laying in stock in such quantities, and at such advancing prices, as they have been doing for the last eighteen. months. They certainly must have settled down to the conviction that fora long time to come Fine Rye Whiskies, both new and old, but cape daily the latter. will rule high. They are aware, that owing to the almost utter extinction of the very little Fine Rye Whisky distilled in 1865, causing such a heavy inroad already to be made into the stock of that distilled In 1866, and in the first six months of 1867, that these aged Whiskies must, in the course of a year or so, ALSO BECOME ALMOST EXTINCT. This is evidenced by their alacrity of late in contracting for New Whiskies intended to be kept in bonded warehouses for im provement by age, and to replace in due, time their present older stock; and this, notwithstand ing prices have been ranging so unprecedentedly high. It may have been remarked in our previous Circulars we have refrained from descanting- par ticularly on our own position and advantages. We think it time now to do so. It is over seven teen years since our H. S. Hannis entered into the Liquor business. At that time Rye Whiskies were comparatively unknown except in Penn sylvania and the States sontli_and southwest -thereof. It was - observed ' that with treat - care and proper 'material, a fine Pure Rye Whisky, capable of receiving great improvement by age, was produced, and which, in the course of time r would, with' judicious effort, rival any Foreign ,Spirit imported. Such, however, was the force of habit, that although extensively used South, its ,use North was but gradual tndeed, French 'Brandy then being the popular spirituous beverage in that section. A year or so after the war had begun, resulting in a depreciated eurrency, and high, gold, duties on Foreign Spiiits, Fine Whisky, from its comparative cheap ness, began rapidly to supplant Srandy and other Spirits all over the land. The change became complete and luting. Our 11. S. H. had, during all his experiebee; beteirithprisset4ith the con viction that the cuittpation of .Pure—Rye Whisky AS a SPECIALTY, would In the end pay well. Every effort was mode to improve qualities, all well as to increase the trade for the Aka° being, When Whi s k y hegai l to be, AO 0001181VOly 110001 North, it was then that • it, became evident to ut3 that the time had come tointroduce, with; slams% ,finer and older grades and brands than ever. We saw the importance of rivaling French Brandy net only I price "'but EATECIALLY IN QUALITY. In fact; that we' muwewoel that article both in price and quality. Our whole thought, exertions and means** devoted to the furtherance of this object.' Knew hag well the sources of supOlY, being judge's of qualities, known as the readiest buyers'of al/ good lots offered, and having ewe faith inthe eventual great scarcity of Fine Whiskies, it may readily be perceived, that we allowed no lot of 'really fine and old Rye Whisky to slip by' us, that we had the Mans to command. By these measures, we gathered together a vast steak t * pf the oldest and finest Whiskies in existence., The result Is, that after disposing of much of it to,our customers,we now feel assured of having more Pure Rye lithiekles ranging from four to twenty two years old, than all the large denim in the country combined. The same system, wo adopted as to the older Whiskies,. we Rises adopted as to the newer ones in bond. When, in the early parted 1866, Whiskies made then and in 1866 were so dull, awl so low in price, we were about the only ones in Philadelphia to take hold' vigorously of the bargains then existing. Not content with gathering up choice lOts already made, we applied our gives to contracting for' large :lots to be made all through the year, thus saving the heavy advances that almost imme 'diately 'began to set in. This course we have pursued unfalteringly up to this time. The re sult of our ,efforts, is that we have certainly' one of the largest, and by all means the very best stock of londed Pure Rye Whiskies of 1865, 1866 and 1867, of any house in the country : and the best of all is, that it is all laid in at such prices, and of such qualities, as to utterly preclude all attempts at rivalry by any one. It may be in place, in this connection, to state as some evidence of our zeal in our business, that in addition to the rental of our stores, 218 and 220 South Front Street, we are subject to storage charges in Bonded Warehouses alone of e 30,000 per annum. To meet the growing demand for our Fuze Whiskies, we have also torn down the old distillery at Martinsburg, and are rebuilding a vastly larger and improved manufactory at a cost of over $1(0,000. TO properly conduct a fine whisky trtuie of growing proportions, it is absolutely essential not only to have one's stock of right material laid In at lowest prlecs,-but-to have the boldness to Increase such stock lu propeortlon to the In crease, or estimated increase, of custom. We arc obliged to lay away new whiskies that must be kept one, two, three, four, five years and more, so that we can always give our customers a whisky of same age, for the same grade. If from a stock of two thousand barrels a dealer sells one thousand barrels in a given year, should he make calculations to double his trade the succeeding sear, he must lay in, in advance, a stock of similar age of four thousand barrels for such year. If he does not, it is impossible for him to otherwise preserve uniformity of qualities. The moment he ceases to watch his stock, that moment his business will stand still, or retro grade: The neglect of this vital principle has proven to be the stumbling-block of many, and it is why we see so few eminent examples of suc cess in the business. There can be no enduring Increase of trade, without a corresponding Increase of stock. In this respect, our work, since 180, has been public to all. It has .been our constant aim to increase stock. While to many our large operations had an appear ance of nothing brit a speculation, they were in reality but a studied, continued and rigid ad -1 erance to a preconcerted set system. It is true that although the increasing consumption on a diminiehed stock caused such brilliant opportu nities that it would have been almost criminal In one of ordinary Intelligence In our line to neglect taking advantage of them, we should neverthe less, regardless of such'opportunities, have pur sued a plan sure to result in snevees, and indeed the cnly ono calculated to build up for the future a glowing and lasting trade. In fact, our prey sent position LEADER :6 Or THE TRADE In PURE RYE WHISKIES in bond, as well as our increasing custom for graded Ryes, can be attributed al most solely to following so closely this cardinal principle of our, business. About a year ago we introduced our Eight Years Old, and Ten Years 01(1, Pure fly Whiskies. For this step we had then been pre paling for three years. The success we have met with, has, been most gratifying, though not unexpected. We now take pleasure in Introdu cing a much higher grade still,—viz.: "Our Fif teen Years Old Pure Rye," which we commend to thOse of the trade who are determined to have a Spirit excelling the finest Brandies in every par ticular, and to be possessed of which, cannot fail to considerably enhance their reputation no Dealers in Finest Whiskies. n - preparliTairesent - p - riee — ilet; - wewould bt justified in advancing prices of our grades quite heavily, but for the present have concluded to abstain from making any change. Should, how ever, the ad-vance in bonded Whiskies continue, as appears likely to be the case, we may be obliged to make material additions to our prices at any moment. HENRY S.

TIIIU E "1T10N... BY ,TELEGRAPH. FROM WASHINGTON A LIVELY -SCENE IN THE HOUSE Congress /atm 'a Supreme Judge The Treasury Department InvestigaUon NO PROSPECT OF A REPORT A Scene In the Meuse. Medal Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] liVesnixo•rox, January 30.—There was quite a Boerne and much excitement In the House to-day, over a resolution introduced by Mr. Schofield, giving an extract from newspapers, to the effect that one of the Justices of the Supreme Court bad declared, at a private gathering, that the reconstruction acts were unconstitutional, and that the Court would so decide them. The resolution authorizes the Judiciary Committee to examine Into the matter and ascertain the truth of the statement, and, if so, whether it does not constitute a misdemeanor in office sufficient to cause articles of ImPeachment to be preferred against said Judge. • The Democrats from , all, parts of the House endeavored to get the floor to Speak against the resolution. Mr. Eldridge characterized it as "another disgraceful proceeding of this Con gress." No name being mentioned In the resolution, the Democrats endeavored to have the name of the Judge Inserted, but none of them would offer the necessary amendment to do so, although the name of Justice Field was mentioned as the party al luded to. The debate was cut off by a call for the previous question, and Mr. Robinson moved to lay the resolution en the table, but this was voted down. The vote on, the adoption of the resolution stood: yeas, 99; nays, 57. Retrenchment in the Treausury De. portnient. [Special Deepatcb to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] WASHINGTON, Jan. 80.—The Sub-Committee on Retrenchment, appointed to examine into the condition of the Treasury Department, has been compelled to suspend Its operations since the meeting of Congress. The brief time in which they were engaged in this work, previous to the meet ing of Congress, did not result in anything d< finite enough to admit of their making a report to Congress. Members of the committee nay there is at least six months work to do, while they have not the necessary time to do it. It has been suggested that the Committee bold night sessions for the purpose of prosecuting their labors, but this is scarcely possible, as members find their usual Congressional labors sufficient to engross all their time. From these facts it will be seen that there is little chance of the affairs In the TreasurY Department being in vestigated, at lsast at present. • Pennsylvania Legislature. HARRISBURG, Jan. 30, 1868.

George Francis lerainls Arrest—Er. aminations and Veclainations— Train Reads His Speeches to a rielecs audience.' , CORK, January 18th, 1868.—Considerable ex citement was occasioned in Cork and Queenstown to-day owing to the arrest of George Francis Train, the well-known London tramway specu lator, and Mr. Durant, deputy chairman of the Pacific Railroad Company, on a charge of Fe nianism. A third person, named Gee, a commer cial traveler,was also arrested on the same charge; _but it ls_now_itsserted that hu_was an English de restive - indieguise; Who uccomtionjcd Mr. Train across in the steamship Scotia to watch and re port upon his actions.

Tide three prisoners were at obeetaken to the house of Mr. J. N. Beamlab, J. F.r, where Mr. Tarrant, ' J. P., having been sent ,for, shortly irrived, and an investigation into the case began. The magistrates had an interview with the prisoners, in the course of which Mr. Train pro tested in the strongest terms against his arrest. Be stated that he was'an 'American citizen, that 'be had committed no offence against the hiws of Great Britain upon British territory, and that this Interference with his liberty was unwarrantable and an insult to.the United States, whose protec tion he claimed .. Mr. Train also demanded to be informed of the charge upon which he was arrested. • After some time the magistrates came to the determination' of releasing the' three prisoners, seeing apparently no ground for their farther detention. Mr. Train liberated from custody, proceeded with his two companions—Messrs. Durant and Gee—to the Queen's Hotel, where tbty intended to,pass the night. Then occurred'a very strange proceeding. Mr. Train bad not beenlon in the hotel when, about twelve o'clock; two detectives arrived and - re quested to be shown to his apartment. They Were accordingly, introduced into the room occupied by Mr. Train, and then proceeded to institute a careful search of hisbaggage, as well as every part of the room in which it was possible; that anything might be concealed. At this proceeding Mr. Train expressed the strongest indignation, and declared his intention of applying for satisfac tion to the American Minister. 2:36 O'Olook. The detectives found nothing beyond a bundle of newspapers and a large number of printed and written pamphlets containing his speeches made in America r fn which he spoke most sympatheti catty of the Fenian Brotherhood. While these pamphlets were being conned over by the detec tives,Mr. Train's temper cooled down,and he said: "Allow me,Mr.Detective,to assist you; my writing is unfamiliar; I'll read them for you." Mr. Train then read, sitting down at a table opposite the detectives, in the large coffee room of the hotel, several of his pro-Fenian speeches in America, his auditors on thiS occasion being two fellow passengers,some gentlemen belonging to Queens town and, of course, his most 'interested ac quaintances, the detectives. Mr. Train finished reading about three o'clock in the morning, and was about retiring to his sleeping apartment when the police intimated, notwithstanding his strong protest, that they had orders to remain in'his apartment for the night, apparently for the purpose of keeping him under surveillance. This they did, keeping a close watch upon Mr. Train. lam unable to say whether he was to be considered as a prisoner under arrest or not. In the morning he found the gnards.at their post, who informed him that he was again to be arraigned before a "justice," against which he again formally protested. At noon Mr. Hamilton, resident magistrate for this county, accompanied by the County In spector of the Royal Irish Constabulary, arrived in Queenstown from Cork and held a private in vestigation in the case, the result of which was that Mr. Train was to be remanded for eight days and confined in Cork jail (perhaps in one of the Fenian cells) during that space of time. At one o'clock, the police, fully armed, marched their prisoner to the direct railroad station snd pro ceeded to Cork by train, where they arrived at two o'clock, and were met by a half dozen others dressed In plain clothes to act as an escort in case of rescue. The prisoner was from there re moved in a cab, still accompanied by guards, to the county of Cork jail, where he must, it is said, rusticate for eight days pending further inquiries. Prior to his examination this morning he was permitted to send a telegram to a Cork paper. After their discharge last night Messrs. Durant and Gee were not furthor molested, and after re maining for the night at the Queen's Hotel the lat ter left on the following morning for Dublin; but * the former has declared his intention of remain ing by his friend, Mr. Train, to assist him with all the means in his power, bbth physically and monetarily. The Coik Examiner of to-day, alluding to the arrest, says :.The grounds on which -Mr. Train has been arrested can only be a matter of sur mise. Like many other Americans politicians, he has frequently spoken sympathetically of the Fenian movement, but it did not appear that he was an actual member of the Fenian organi zation. Generally his pro-Fenian speeches were . delivered from the ordinary political platfcrms, where variona questions were discussed. In one of his latest orations he suggested that Mr. Seward should propose to accept Ireland from the British Government in settlement of the Ala bama claims.—N. Y. Herald.

NAPLE6, Jan. 29, 1868, by way of London, Jan. 29.—The eruption of Mount Vesuvius, which has continued with greater or less intensity since its occurrence in the past year. has culminated, If I may so term it, in an unusual and very fatal ca tastrophe. Yesterday evening the side of Mount Vesuvius lying right opposite to the gate of Castello- Nuevo, one of the fortifications of this city, situated between the royal palace and the sea, fell, tumbling outward. The detached portion buried several houses built in the vicinity and overwhelmed carriages and other conveyatices passing on the, highway at the-moment. The scene is melancholy and fall of ruin. The road running in the neighborhood of the volcano is filled with rocks and earth, which just lately formed part of the mountain. This extraordinary event has also been at tended with considerable loss of life, bat the number of persons killed has not yet been ascer tained. OYER AND TRILMINER--Judgee Allison and Peirce.—This morning the jury in the case of William J. Ovens and Daniel Blokes, charged with the murder of Col. Riddle, came into Court and asked if they could render a verdict 118 to one of the defendants, and not agree as to the other. Judge Allison replied that, as the prisoners were - entitled to a separate trial, If they had de manded it, a verdict could be rendered in regard to:either. The jury then rendered a verdict of not guilty as to Stokes. They then asked the Court to read the testimony in regard to the throwing of the brick by the boy. Connor. This was done, and the jury again retired. The jury had not returned up to the time,that our report closed. Margaret Anspach was put on trial, charged with the murder of her babe, on the 20th of October last. The defendant was a domestic at the Ashland House, and it was alleged that im mediately after the birth of the child the mother threw it from the window, a distance of about 40 feet. It was found in the yard still alive, but It died in about 48 hours after its removal to the Almshouse. Dr. Shapleigh, who made the post mortem examination, described the various bruises upon the babe's body, extending along the right side from the bend to the feet, and including concussion of the brain and bruises to the kidneys. The death was caused by these injuries, the result of violence.

BENA'TE.—Mr. Wilson (Mass.) presented seve ral for the removal of disabilities from citizens of Alabama and elsewhere. The bill to settle the claims of the 21st New York cavalry was adversely reported. Mr. Drake (Mo.) introduced a bill for holding terms of the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri at St. Louis. Mr. Harlan (Iowa) introduced a bill to grant aid to construct a railroad and telegraph line from the Union Pacific Railroad to Idaho, Port land, Oregon, Montana, and Puget's cloned. Referred to the Committee on Pacific Railroad. Mr. Frelinghuysen (N. J.) introduced a bill for the protection of persons making disclosures as a party . , or testifying as a witness. Referred to the Judiciary Committee. Mr. Willey (W. Va.) offered a resolution re questing information from the President in rela tion to the number of justices of the peace com missioned in Washington. Adopted. Mr. Pomeroy (Kansas) offered a resolution in structing the Committee on Territories to re consider the propriety of reporting the bill to change the boundaries of northern Colorado, from 41st to 42d degree of latitude, adding one degree to the limits of said terrl tory. On motion of Mr. Patterson (N. H.), the bill in addition to act regulating the term of civil offi cers, was taken up. He moved to amend by sub stituting. an entirely new bill. He explained its provisions as dispensing with the special agents heretofore appointed under the acts of 1792, 1793 and 1846; sometimes, he said, being of limited number, and sometimes large, and whose duty was very indefinite. They bad been made political agents. The bill would save three or four hundred thousand dollars to the Treasury directly; how much indirectly he could not say. He referred to frauds committed by the connivance of those in the Revenue De partment, saying they had been in the service of whisky-rings, rather than the Government— Instancing one who bad black-mailed e citizen in Chicago to the amount of $lOO,OOO, and who was said to have made between 35 and 50 thousand dollars within 20 days. After discussion by Messrs. Harlan and Morrill (Vt.), Mr. Sumner (Mass.) had read by the Clerk a letter from the Secretary of State, expressing the Lope that the bill would not be applied to agents of the State Department in foreign af fairs, and stating that they had been employedby every Administration since Washington, who em ployed Gov. Morris in the mission to England. air. Sumner then moved to except such per sons accordingly, provided they are paid out of the contingent fund of the Department. _.- - Mr.Howard--(Mich.)-asked - how many of=such agents there had, been for the last Ave years. They bad been very numerous and very mis chievous. He believed that this body_ had the honor of punishing one of them. There was Much darkness on this subject. Mr. Sumner said the fact of there being secret agents made it impossible for names to be given. He bad heard of one McCracken, but did not know who he was or where he came from, and be therefore supposed the whole thing was a forgery, by which an attempt was made to dis credit one of the most distinguished citizens of the Republic. Mr. Conkling (N. Y.) condemned the present system, by which not only real persons but myths could be sent out. Mr. Howard;—Ghoste I iLaughter.l Mr. Conkling hoped that if the system was continued only flesh 'and blood would be em ployed. Bousic.—Mr. Marshall (Ill.) rising to a per sonal question sent up to the Clerk's desk and bad read a card from Major-General Burbridge, published in tidtinaorning'a Chronicle,in reference to a speech made by Mr. Marshall in the House, characterizing 'General Burbridge as the "Military Jeffrus of Kentucky." The card designates Mr. Marshall . as a reckless and vindictive man, true to his purpose and na ture,and the writer says he apprehends that there is not a heart so debased unless it be among this man's faithful confederates, as to believe such a statement, and not another tongue so false as to utter it. Mr. Marshall said this card demanded some little notice at his hands. General Burbridge had, after waiting eight or ten days, thought fit to apply to himself the title of the "American Jeffries." If, In the heat of debate, be should ever do injustice to any one citizen or soldier, it would be the highest gratification of his life to repent the injury doff°. There were frequently In the Union uniform men who during the late war had not been governed by high, noble and_manly_principles,and whu,when hey- sueeeeded obtainifig plifee,s, of ewer, , -dc.f eloped some of the very worst fe c atures of hu man nature. These remarks, she Said, were in tended to bc _general, and had no special or personal application - at this time. History proved that when charges wore made, afr:dnst such per sons they attempted too often to screen them selves from investigation by turning on those Who ,Made the charge and ac cusing• them of being in sympathy with the enemies of the couutfy. So far as that attempt bad been made Mills case, he would say that it Gen.' Burbridge had been acquainted with' his (ItirSball's) humble history, he would have known that the charge was utterly and entirely false. • ' • There Could be no personal issue between Gen eral Burbridge and himself.
