NEW PuBLICATIONS.
Ticknor & Fields, Boston, have just published
" A Journey in Brazil," being a narrative of the
famous Agassiz Amazonian expedition. It is the
joint production of Mr. and Mrs. Agassiz and the
intrinsic interest of the work, is, greatly height
ened by this evidence of the eultivatea intelli
gence with which Mrs. Agassiz proves herself a
helpmeet for her distinguished husband in all his
scientific pursuits.
The exploration of the Amazon by Professor
Agassiz was in many respects one of the most re
markable expeditions ever undertaken in the
cause of science. Projected years before, as sure
to yield an abundant harvest to the geologist,
the naturalist, the botanist, and the ethnologist,
it at last became a reality through the princely
munificence of Mr. Nathaniel Thayer, of Boston,
who, giving Professor Agamiz carte blanche for
all his requirements, sent him out to solve the
problems of that wonderful region, to test his
own theories, and to enrich by his collections
and observations the whole scientific wort
The expedition, admirably organized and with
a most complete outfit, sailed from Now York,
April Ist, 1865, and sailed from Rio on ifs return
to the United States, July 2d, 1866, and during
this period of fifteen months, Agassiz pursued his
investigations of tides and rocks and birds and
fishes and creeping things innumerable, both
small and great ;and trees and plants and fossils and
men and women and children and governments
and all and everything that 'nature or man pre
sented to his keen observations. As he labored
and organized,and directed and investigated, Mrs.
Agassiz noted and wrote, with a clearness and
cleverness which blend all the results of ab
struse scientific research with such charming
narrative and such life-like scene-painting and
such delicate perception of the beautiful and
wonderful, that the "Journey in Brazil" becomes
one of the most delightfUl of modern books of
travel.
The Amtizonian expedition was conducted under
every iinaginal)le advantage. From the Emperor
down, to the naked. Indian children twelve hun-
dred miles up the. Amazon, the whole resources
of the Empire of Brazil were placed at the dis
posal of Mr. Agassiz. Railroad and steamship
companies placed all their facilities at his com
mand. The Emperor himself became a collector
of specimens. Orders were sent fur and near to
further the objects of the expedition by all possible
means, and the native courtesy of the Brazilians
never appeared to better advantage than in the
continued hospitalities which greeted the party at
all points of their journey.
The results of the expedition are well known:
Many hundreds of new species of fish were col
lected:beside large numbers of other rare or un
known specimens in the various branches of na
tural history. Most interesting and important
points in regard to the glacial theory and other
subjects were established, and the whole vast
valley of the Amazon was laid open to the
knowledge of the rest of the world as it has
never been before. We had marked many
passages of this - volume for quotation, but our
space forbids. It is full of the incidents and re
sults of this remarkable journey and will be
sought with avidity by all who appreciate a
standard American book: - - It is - very - handsomely
printed, with numerous illustrations, and we are
not surprised to hear that the first edition of it is
almost exhausted, before its publication has been
fairly announced. It Is for sale by G. W. Pitcher.
"Guild Court, a London Story," is a very read
able. book, by George MacDonald, author of
••Alec Forbes" and other works. The scene of the
story is exclusively in the middle and lower
walks of London life, but the reader Is introduced
to several very original and interesting charac
ters. We particularly admire the Rev. Fuller,
and commend his theology and his method of de_
veloping it. A few more such clergymen among
us would !leaven the whole lump." lie possesses
the very rare quality of good common sense, and
the still rarer gift of tact, and the two combined
enable him to do a good work
among men, women and children.
The two children. Mattie and Poppie,
are quaint, weird creatures, and have a
certain fascination of their own; while the reader
watches wtth absorbed attention the process by
which, under kindness and judicious instruction,
"Mattie ever grows younger, and Poppie older."
The description of the impressions produced on
the two by the first glimpse of the sea and the
country Is inimitable, and evinces a profound
knowledge of child-nature. There is not a sin
gle inferior or feebly-drawn character in the
whole book, and we think no one can fail to find
pleasure in reading it. Published by Harper &
Brothers. For sale by Pcterbon & Brothers.

A Card from lien. Uurbridge.
The card of Gen. Burbridgo, which was referred
to by Mr. 3larehall in a personal explanation in
the house of Representatives yesterday, is as
follows:
To the Editor of the Clownicle : I have seen an
extract of a speech delivered in the Ilouse of
Representatives of the Congress of the United
btates, by one S. S. Marshall, of Illinois, that de
mands a notice at my hands. This reckless and
- vindictive man, true to his perverse nature, pro
eeeded to characterize cue as the military Jeffries
of Kentucky, and "who was so fortunate iu
arresting and massacring non-combatants and
peaceful citizens, and imprisoning women
and children placed under his jurisdic
tion." lle is deeply pained that his
con
federates were arrested in Kentucky, and
Vied by a court-martial composed of honorable
olicers of the national army tor the crimes of
murder and gross outrages against the laws of
war, and were convicted upon indisputable evi
du nee, and executed under my administration.
Ills statement that these men were "non-combat-
anti," and "peaceful citizens," is perhaps as near
the truth as sea a.natnre is capable of malting
:-.-Tlit-"peareful-citizens' were - outlaws - agallUitfe - -
ciety, and criminals against human nature itself :
murdering, robbing and plundering without re
gard to age, FeX or condition. They were men
whom no faith would bind, and no circumstances
of life appease: They made evcry-communitv
they entered living witnesses of their ferocious
crinacs.L It -Will sound strange to the citizens
and •good-thinking peopfe of this country to
hear from the halls of Congress, a court cotn
posed of honorable soldiers, who had sustained
the burdens of many a bloody battle-fleld,
charged with the crime of massacring "non-com•
bawds and peaceable citizens." To say nothing
of my' wn sense of Justice and honor, I appre
hen'd there is not a heart so debased, unless it'be
among this man's faithful confederates, as to be
lieve atufli a statement, and not another tongue
oo false as• to utter it.
it is spin stated that - T ixnpriboned some
women and children placed u6dermy prOtection.
The truth is that some women of notoriously
treasonable character, for aiding and abetting
the enemies or the country, and who sought to
compass the tfestruction of onr troops, were
ordered out of the Slate of Kentucky by me,
actirg under a general order,from Genera Sher
man, far more rieorOus, bnt not the less just,
than my own. No woman was ever "impris
oned," no child was ever "Imprisoned" by me.
Thus this charge is as wilfully and perversely
false as the other. •
For the discharge of my duty to my country
in the most hanhane manner compatible with
the public safety, I have been maligned and
traduced by the whole pack of traitors, North
and South. That duty was performed faith
fully and earnestly. If the times ever de
mand it, which may God avert, it shalt be
done again, earnestly, promptly, and effectu
ally. It is to be regretted that elle hand of
justice fell so heavily only upon the misguided,
but none the less criminal, traitors of the
South. If those of the North who inspired this
crime bad possessed their courage, justice
would • have been more equally distributed,
Their shield Was their cowardice, not their pa
triotism or their virtue. If I am to be pro
scribed for my services to my country, let the
truth be known. I shall not tamely submit to
have my diameter aspersed by men so regard
less of truth and honor, and so wantonly malig
nant toward the soldiers of the Union, as this
Representative'of treason in the Congress of the
Nation.. I have no excuse to give and no apology
to make for my presence in Washington. I pre
sume that even a Federal soldier may visit the
capital of the country he has fought to sustain
whenever he may think proper. It is but little'
moment to me who thinks to the contrary, and
least of all those whose records are blackened by
dieloyalty. S. G. BIIR111211)GE,

GIRARD COLLEGE.
Hon. Henry D. Moore recently delivered
an address before the Universalist Sabbath
School Union of this city, which we find
printed in the Boston Universalist. The
following passage In relation to Girard Col
lege, its present administration and the ser
vices formerly rendered to it by a distin
guished and excellent fellow-citizen, Hon.
Joseph B. Chandler, will be interesting to
our readers :
There is one other institution, my friends,
of which]. would make mention. T. allude to
that grand and noble charity of our city, the
Girard College! This is indeed a noble Insti
tution, limited it is true in the extent of its
charities and, benefits, and I cannot but think
too much limited for the amount of money
expended upon it and invested in.it ! I be
lieve that if the donor of that magnificent
gift to the city could be here now to see its
workings and its operation, he would correct
what seems to me to be errors of judg
ment in the details of his Legacy ! I cannot
believe that he would now order the erection
of a building for charitable purposes which
should consume over fourteen years of valua
ble time in its erection, and over .a million
dollnrs in its construction; and there is an
other feature of his bequest which I believe
be would-correct if it was in his power to do
-so;. and that is..the feature which shuts its
. &ors forever against any and every minister
of the Gospel, and gives its mana g ement and
control into the bands of those wh may pos
-sibly-be-governed by, political or partisan
motives and feelings in the selection of its
officers. I know not what may have been
the motives which governed and con
trolled Mr. Girard, in thus shutting 'its
doors forever against all ministers of
the Gospel, unless it was to prevent the in
troduction of Sectarian influence in its man
agement. If this was his desire it was a very
laudable one, but it seems to me it could have
been attained without a restriction so broad
and sweeping in its character that it seems
to authorize all branches of secular educa
tion, to the exclusion of those lessons of
virtue and morality and goodness which are
so essential to - the proper development of
character and the intellectual training of the
voung. It is very true, if in the selection of
Directors and officers of the Institution only
such good men are chosen as will look to the
Moral and spiritual good of the children, as
well as their intellectual training, then indeed
will the Institution carry out what I have no
doubt was the original purpose and intention
of its founder; but I cannot but fear that in
thus shutting its doors forever against
any and all ministers of the Gospel,
that he has possibly left them open to the in
troduction sometime of those who will be but
poor and inefficient expounders of the teach
ings and precepts of our Divine • Master. I
trust in God this may never be the case, and I
would not intimate for a moment, that such
has yet been the result, and I only utter these
fears to prevent if possible any such unfortu
nate tendency in its affhirs,for we should ever
guard with a watchful and jealous eye such a
gland and noble charity as.this is, and frown
down any and every attempt that may be
made to introduce the least political dr parti
san feeling in its management. Of late years
I have known but little of the management
of this institution ; but I believe its present
executive officer is most admirably qualified
and fitted for his duty, and under his
--ebargcr.--- it --- - vannot'blit=frilfif -- the — purpose
and intention of its founder. I know.that
in the early years of its history good and
nolikrilen had charge and control of its
affairs, and the services of one of those noble
men cames up before me now as one of the
pleasantest recollections` of my life. Day
after day and year after year did he give his
whole time and attention to the interests of
the orphans in that Institution, and could it
always have the kind ministrationsand teach
ings of such men, it would never need the
services of ministers of the Gospel to look
after the morals and religious training of the
children, as for many years there was never
a week and scarcely a day during the whole
time when he did not teach and inculcate
into the minds of those children not aecta
rianisrn, but all those lessons of love,
and virtue, and goodness so necessary to the
proper training of the young. No friner, it
sterns to me, could have loved and cared for
his own children with ,a deeper and truer in
terest than did Joseph It. Chandler for the
orphans of Girard College, and I doubt not
that many of those orphans who are now
young men and launched out upon the sea of
life, can look b ,ek not only with pride and
pleasure, but also with sincere thankfulness,
that they were allowed the benefits and ad
vantages of that noble Institution, and the
p; ivilege of being. under the kind min
istrations and teachings of so good and
line a man. My friends, as my thoughts
came in noon me in reference to this noble
daub) of our City, and the recollection of
the invaluable services rendered to it and
dime orphan children in its early history by
Chandler, I could not forbear paying this
slight tribute of respect to
,ene_for_whom
have - su --- inuch — regard; -- and - When - rton . yitiii
that even now, with the weight of more than
three seore years and ten upon his brow, he
is nevertheless every day of his life doing his
work of love and mercy and kindness among
the poor criminals and outcasts of society in
our Prisons, I know you will join with me in
expressing the wish that,he may yet long be
spared to us and the community for which
he has done, and is doing so much good.

THE DAILY EVENING .- BULLETII4.-THILADELPHI A. Fll,l . r) AY, 1 ,1868
Wourteenlla Annual stefoart, Of the Nev.
chants?
We may congratulate ourselves upon thus
reaching our fourteenth anniversary; that We
haye fairly passedsthrough, the lisitiodywhen
our association might be re*ded'its a novelty
or experiment. We are itanbaded, however,
that, compared with manyNit.the'lime-hon
ored institutions of our city whose histories
are measured by scone, and some by more
than a century of years, ours is of but recent
date. And yet, were it to be announced on
this occasion that the • hopes in which this
charity originated had been disappointed;
that, with an object so confesse'dly praise
worthy, it had failed to secure the necessary
confidence and support, and the Merchants'
Fund would no longer appear in the golden
circle of Christian charities—the loss of few
would by many hearts be more sadly felt
and more justly deplored. No other can
fill its place nor do its work.
It is our painful duty to notice, in this re
port, the decease, since the last anniversary,
of two of our associates in the Board of Man
agers—Marshall Hill, an efficient and highly
valued member of the Executive Committee,
and Thomas F. Brady, for several years sec
retary of the society. To Mr. Brady belongs
the merit of having first suggested the estab
lishinent of the Merchants Fund; and only a
few days before his death he expressed, with
much emotion, his gratitude that if, as he
hoped, he had been instrumental in originat
ing so great a charity, he had not lived in
vain.
The relief appropriations during the past
year in regular and special grants to twenty
five persons amount to $4,605, an excess of
$6OO over the preceding year. The dona
tions are measured, as far as possible, by the
circumstances of the recipients. Some of
these are struggling in various ways, as age
and infirmity will allow, to assist 'in their
own support—some have partial 'help from
other sources—while to some, the aid you be
stow is their all. With one or two excep
tions they are all aged, and all are unexcep
tionable in character. We need not say how
many and great infirmities cluster around
such advanced years. Several of these gen
tlemen are afflicted with paralysis, and one is
insane. Twenty are at present dependent
upon the society for stated allowances.
The extracts from communications of the
beneficiaries appended to this report will
serve 'to show their appreciation of the bene
fits conferred upon them. They desire in
this way to express to their brethren who
cared for them in their adversity their grate
ful sense of obligation.
Several of the present beneficiaries have
been for some years under the care of the
institution ; but most of those who have en
joyed its bounty have passed away. Among
those are well-remembered venerable men,
whom some of us had known as occupying
stations of trust and honor, ' men of large
hearts and fine sensibilities. When in their
days of adversity, and in the failure of every
other hope, they accepted the unsought help
of the Fund, it was not without many and
painful struggles thus to confess their
helplessness. The trial was severe,
but borne with such dignity and patience as
__greatly to increase our respect. Who does
not feel that such a poverty is peculiar, and
how considerate and humane are the arrange
ments of the Merchants' Fund for this and
such like instances? The beneficiary is at
his own home, or, with all that is left to him
of home or kindred. He is humbled at the
consciousness of dependence upon others for
his support, but in the way in • which you
have conveyed your aid, he has felt the warm
grasp of a brother's hand, and half the burden
is lifted from his heart. No wonder that his
prayer that God would bless the Merchants'
Fund and all who sustain it has a fervency
and depth of meaning which only such cir
cumstances can inspire.
It is thus that for fourteen years the Mer
chants'. Fund has been quietly fulfilling its
work of benevolence, and by its blessed re
sults appealing for larger means, which it so
greatl y needs. We desire not to exaggerate
its importance or its- usefulness. The in
stances are few where the parties were in a
state of the extremest want. The Merchants'
Fund requires no such condition to justify its
help. Many, doubtless, whom the Society
has placed in circumstances of comparative
comfort, might without it have struggled on
in their suffering indigence at the cost of se
verer privations and greater humiliations.
And most, at least, we could have hoped,
would have been saved from the pauper's
home and the pauper's grave— but not all.
Our association has in in one instance rescued
a worthy gentleman from the public Alms-
house.
The total receipts of the year, including
cash on hand at the last settlement, as shown
by the Treasurer's account,;,were $12,729 60,
and the payments, $11,906 08, leaving
$823 52 in the Treasury. .The permanent
fund has been increased to $68,939 65, and
is invested as follows:
City of Philada. 6 per cent 10an... $25,000 00
U. S. 5-20 6 per cent. loan . 26,000 00
,Statenf-Xerura.- 6 per- cent-- . 16,000-00--
Three ground rents -'4,939 65
Of this gratifying addition to our perma
nent fund, $135,000 were the gift of J. V. Wil
liamson, Esq., formerly and for many years
in extensive business in Market street. It is
a generous and appropriate testimonial by one
who has himself passed safely through them;
of his appreciation of the exposures against
which no prudence can always guard. Nor
can we doubt that such contributions for the
relief of suffering are acceptable thank-offer
ings to the God of providence. It was a
touching feature of the Jewish law which re
quired that, at the ingathering of the harvests,
something should be left ungleaned in the field.
for the poor and the stranger.
In conclusion, we would once more pre
sent this institution to the merchants of Phila
delphia as worthy of the earnest, continued
and liberal support which it asks at their
hands. We need not dwell on the perils of a
commercial life—they are too sadly real, too
sadly common—the wrecks are upon every
shore. Nor is it any violation of the great
law of love toward all men especially to re
gard the claims of Those who, if not con
nected with us by the ties of kindred, are at
l'east allied by exposure to common dangers.
The Merchants' Fund is an honor to the pro
fession, and it should be, so fostered and
cherished; and if it shall continue to stand
alone in its peculiar charity, and nowhere
else shall there be found an institution re
cognizing the common brotherhood of mer
chants by thus providing ter the stricken
ones, let us gladly accept it as our distinc
tion that its home,and place is in our own.

in the Interior arrangements of the Custom
House. Collector Cake is now about to usa this
money for that object, and yesterday workmen
commenced the remodeling and rearranging of
the desks. Instead of the centre being devoted,
as at present, to the public, the new desks of
walnut will be arranged in such a way as to give
wide corridor aronnd the four sides of the room
and along the wail, thus placing all the clerks in

reconstruction question engrossing all the time
of the Senate, it goes over until this subject is

will press his resolution for expulsion or not.

Mr. Pomeroy (Kansas) offered a resolution in
structing the Cann:Atte° 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, aiding one
degree to the limits of said territory.
On motion of Mr. Patterson (N. II.). the bill in
addition to act regulating the term of civil ofil=
cers, - was taken up... Removed to, amend by sub
stituting an entirely new. bill.. 'Re 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
had been made political agents. The bill would
save three or four hundred thousand dollars to
the. Treasury directly; how much indirectly ho
could not say. He iderred 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 had black-mailed a citizen
in Chicago to the amount of Eiloo,ooo, and who
was said to have m ado between 85 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, expressibg
the hope that the bill would not be applied td
agents of the State Department in foreign af
, falre, and stating that they had been employed by
every Administration since Washington, who em
ployed Gov. Morris in the mission to England.
Mr. Sumner then moved to except each 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 five years.
They had been very numerous and very mis
chievous. Ho 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 had heard of one McCracken, but did not
know who he was or where he came from, and
he 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—Ghosts! (Laughter.!
Mr. Conkling hoped that it the systena was
continued only flesh and blood would be em
ployed.
HousE.—Mr. Marshall (Ill.) rising to a per
sonal question sent up to the Clerk's desk and
had read a card from Major-General 13urbridge,
published in this morning's Chrunick,in reference
to a speech made by Mr. 'Marshall in the
House characterizing General Buirbridge as
the "Military Jeffrus of Kentucky." The
.card. .designates Mr. Marshall as a reckless
and vindictive man, true to his purpose ancrna
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 fillse as to
utter it.
Mr. Marshall said this card demanded some
little notice alibis hands. General Berbridge
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,
he should ever do injustice to any one citizen or
soldier, it would be the highest gratification of
his life to repent the injury done. There were
frequently in the Union uniform men who
during the late war had not been governed by
high, noble and manly princlples,and who, when
they succeeded in obtaining places of power, do
veloced some of the very worst features of hu
man nature. These remarks, he said, were in
tended to be general, and had no special or
personal application at this time. History proved
that whin charges were made against such per
sons they attempted too often to screen them
selves front investigation by turning on
those who made the charge and lie
cubing them of being in sympathy
with the enclitic's of the country. So far as that
attempt had been made in his ca.e, he would say
that it Gun. Burbridge had been acquainted with
his (Mardi:ill'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. He (Mr. Marshall)
knew nothing and could know nothing of his
conduct during the war,but the charges on which
he bad made the allusion had been made by per-
Funs of the highest respectability and responsi
bility in Kentucky, who, he understood, were
prepared to prove them by testimony.
Ile bad no more endorsed such charges by re
ferring to them than. he endorsed the charges
against a Nero, a Caligula, or any other person
whom be had been taught by his reading to con
sider a moral Monster.. He hoped that General
Burbridge would be able to vindicate himself
from these charges, which had been seriously and
gravely made. But the way to do so was not by
the publication of scurrilous cards.
Mr. Scofield, rising to a question of privilege,
offeredlution reeitingtimt=thshing
'ton Eveniiill Erpress of yesterday contained fr.
statement that at a private gathering of gentle
men of both political parties, "one of the Judges
of the Supreme Court spoke very freely of the
reconstruction measure s of Congress, and de
clared in the most positive terms that all
these laws were unconstitutional, and that the
Supreme Court would be sure to pronounce them
so; that some of his friends near him suggested
that it was exceedingly indiscreet to speak posi
tively, when he at once repeated his views in a
more emphatic manner, and also reiterating that
several cases under such ;reconstruction
measures, were pending in the Su
preme Court, and directing the Judiciary
Committee to inquire into the truth of the decla
rations contained in the newspaper article, and
report if the facts constitute Such a misde
meanor in Mee as requires this House to pre
sent to the Senate articles, of impeachment
against such Justice of the Supremo Court, with
power to examine witnesses, and to report at
any time.

Louis, January 30.—About 4 o'clock this after-
noon while some two to three hundred people, men,
women, and children, mainly passenger's by the Ohio
and Mississippi Railroad train, wore ctossing . the river
on foot, the ice suddenly broke loose ISOM each shore,
and floated down the stream. Greiie coneyntation
was imitiediately created, arid tbipeirtile'ritti hither
and thither in a terrible fright, not being able to got
ashore on either side of the river, as the ice had left
the banks and a broad open space of water intervened
between them and the land. Luckily the im-'
mense field of ice did not break. and
after floating a distance of a' couple of
blocks ,it pressed against - - Sr steamer on the
Missouri shore, from which staging sine gang planks
were pushed out, and all the terrified people were res.
cued. No ono was injured. Michael Omeara, a
merchant from Canada, fell Into the water, and after
reaching the shore went into a saloon tin the levee to
change bis clothes, and while ,taking .111's cyallse key
from hisi.pocketeliook; the latter - Wat'ariatched from
his band by a bystander, who made off with
It, and has not yet been found. The pocket-book
contained $l,OOO in money, and $5,000 in notes and
eight drafts. The Ice floated down about five blocks
and lodged again, leaving au open channel for ferry
boate.
._f3eseral boats are now battering the ice at dif-.
ferent points, and the harbor will probably be entire
ly clear in the morning.
The weather moderated today, the mercury rising
above the freezing point.
The accompanying statement, prepared by the Sec
retary of the Treasury from the official records of the
Department, elaeloees the following facts:
First. The falling off of Internal revenue for the
fiscal year DM In all the two hundred and forty reve
nue districts, as compared with 1S ti, was 029,697;-
441.92. being an average per district of $12.3,732 Si.
Second. During the year 1E67 the President made
removals and appointments of assessors and collectors
of Internal revenue in twenty districts only, without
the recommendation of the Commissioner of. Intelnal
Devenne,
For . these twenty districts the falling oft of
receipts from 1i167, as compared with 1566. was only
$46,470.30 per district, a relative gain per district as
compared with the other two hundred and twenty
districts of ,f,?-4.293 42. an aggregate gain lathe twenty
districts of $1.,685.866.40, and an increase of revenue
to the country, had changes been made in the other
two hundred and twenty districts with like results, of
$18.541,652.50.
Fourth. Daring the decal year 1617 there were
changes of clalletters and• assessors in ono hundred
and thirty-nine of the two hundred and fortycoilecti tou
district,-; of these one hundred and thirty-nine dis
tricts there were one hundred and nineteen In which
the chances were made upon the recommendation of
the Commissioner of Internal lif:ven ue, both as to the
removal and as to the persons appointed. In the re.
maining twenty district. the persons appointed were
selected by the President without the recommenda
tion of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue.
Fifth. For the 119 districts in which, all the new
appointees were selected by Commissioner Rollins,
the aggregate falling off of receipts for lfiril, as corn •
pared with 1b63, was $19,15219161, being an average
per district of $160,942 tit. In the other twenty dis
tricts, in which the Pre_side•nt Fwiected the appointees,
the average failing off per district was but $it1,470.:37,.
as above stated, being a relative gain, as compared
with the nineteen districts, of 8114.172.11 per district,
and which In 119 districia would amount to $15.-
mr2:120.:91.
Sixth. In 101 of the 240 collection districts there
wine no chanetai of collectors or assessors during the
fiscal year IssiT. The aggregate failing oil of receipts
for lbt,: in these districts WM 49,615,849.92, being an
average of $95,204:.40, which is more than double the
amount per district of the falling off in the twenty
district* in which the President made removals and
appointments without the recommendation of the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue. , It will he seen
that in the 210 districts there have been changes of
collectors and assessors in 129 districts., For the
- changes in - twenty - of nett districts the President is
responsible, and for the changes in the 119 districts
the Commissioner of Internal RevenuoisresponAble.
In the twenty districts for which the President is re
sponsible there le a relative gain of, over a million
snd a half dollars of revenue. In thell9 districts for
which the Commissioner of Internal 'Revenne is re
sponsible there is a failing off of nearly 6'20,0(41.0K
as compared with the average receipt, of the districts
for which the President is responsible.
XLth CONGEIESS.---SECOND SESSION
[CONCLUSION Vi YESTEtIDAY'S PROCEEDINGS.]
Semite.
Mr. Suseiza succeeded in calling up the resolution
to authorize the Secretary of the Navy to send one or
more navy officers to the Intk•rnational Maritime Ex
hibition at Mare, which was again laid aside, atter
debate, on motion of Mr. HEtimucr.s, who called for
the special order, the supplementary reconstruction
_
Mr. Cneort; took the floor. He said the question
now ai.itating the country was whether its destinies
!haul° remelt' in the hands of those who, amid war
and desolation, had preserved the monuments of our
liberties, or whether those who had labored to destroy
it, and yet entertained the same purpose, should be
permitted to resume their former control. The Pres
ident, in violation of the Constitution, had rushed
through a series of measures calculated to restore the
rebels to power.
Mr. aiNDAICKS followed. He denied the claim that
there were no State governments. At the close of the
war governments adopted by the people existed at the
outbreak of the war, and what had become of them?
State constitutions were the bonda of oranization,
holding them to the Federal Union. He lanew of no
other. The Constitution became part of the national
tinton, and the people bad no right to destroy It,
either by convention or legislature, nor could any
power short of all the States.
If a mate of the South ceased to be such, by what
act was it? The ordlnanm of secession could not do
it, being a nullity, nor could war, which was not made
on the Constitution, but on the people engaged in re
bellion, whose effort to separate bad no validity iu
law, and bad no effect to dostroy or disturb their re
lations to the Union, however they tried practically to
do it.
Taking up the claim of power over reconstruction
under the clause of the Constitution gulranteeing a
representative form of government, he said that clause
was addressed to each department of the government
—the executive duty to be performed by the Execu
tive, judicial duty by the Judiciary, &c. By its lan
guage it presupposed the existence of State govern
. • .to=be=goarantectL-=Madison,
Story, all took that'view. •It conferred no power on
the government to make a State government, which fs
the bleb prerogative of the people. The sole province
Congress was to recognize such governments when
funned.
lie referred to the admission of Senators and
Representatives, and said if the view of the Repub
lican party was correct, they should not have re
elected Mr: Lincoln, who had pocketed the Winter
Davis bill, that proposed the plan of legislative recon
struction, and had said he was not willing to bind
himself to any single plan of restoration; that gen
greet should not tie his bandit by any plan. When
Mr, Lincoln was re-elected, was there a mote import.,
ant question before the nation than tithe of restore , '
Bon? Re bad need the words "restoration"- to: their
practical relations to the government of the United
States." What a different doctrine from that which
claimed that no State governments exist, and ttutt
Congress only bad power over the question.
After defending the consistency of Democratic 8411.
ators in former votes.assalled in the course of debate.
hequoted the description of the promising condition
of affairs in the South by General Grant, as seen in
the impeachment testimony, and again from Mr.
Morton 'a speech below quoted to the same effect. Be
would characterize, if It were Senatorial and cour
teous, the statement just made by sMr. Cragin in
regard to the condition of the South an utter misrep
resentation.
Mr. Johnson proceeded to his legitimate work of
restoration by the proclamation of May 2, 18611, not
claiming the right to form State governments, bat re
cognizing the old State governments as Congress had
recognized 'genneesee, and Le had taken steps to allow
the people to restore those practical relations, ap
pointing provisional governors until that could be ac
complished. Ile defended the President only when
he thought him right, because he claimed to be a just
MAIL
Mr. Lincoln's proclamations of 1863 • and 1861 had
enunciated this policy, and they re-elected him. If it
was right for Lincoln was it wrong for Johnson ?
Why, then, condemn him for adopting Mr. Lincoln's
policy, as Mr. Morton had admitted he did? Ile read
from Governor Morton's message' of 1865, character
izing Johnson's measures for reconstruction as just
and beneficent, and from General Grant's testhuony,
the opinion that that policy was identical with Lin
coln's. It was settled that constitutional conven
tions could form valid constitutions and, therefore, :

Mr. EFENIMICICS—Then the purpose of the Senator
could only have been to Interrupt the line of the argte
ment,
Mr. FESSENOEN—No, sir.
went' on to say that.the Senator had
a right only to make the biecialmer for which he
(Mr. Hendricks) had yielded the floor.
Mr: FESSENDEN—The Senator is too skillful a de
hater to be troubled by a single remark. I beg to dis
claim any such purpose, and had no refer
ence to • him in the remark I made: Me
object was simply to say for myself, and
60 -far as , ' know, for the other - members, of the
Ifeconetruetion Cemmittee, that no such idea was in
tended by theth. I never heard it - mentioned. Mr.
Fesseuden again disclaimed any intention to apply
his remark to the Senator. •
Mr. BENIMICIIS accepted the disclaimer, and Mr.
liowerte, enother member of that committee, corrob
orated Mr. Feesenden's statement, and. said- the re
mark about the committee was therefore - gratuitous.
Mr. CoNeereo, of New York, said, as a member of
the Rouse branch of the committee. there never had
beetle:lnv foundation, to his knowledge, for the asser
tion that in their opinion they were acting outside of
the Constitution.' •
Mr. HeNDRIC'EB said he recollected the attack upon
the Senator from Massachusetts (Mr. Sumner) by the
Senators from Ohlo and Maine (Messrs. Wade and
Feseentlen), in les endeavor to hare the Southern
States-declared Tenitories. charging, that he` stood
alone? But he stood then just where his party stood
now, on this legislation.
Mr. Su stem—Will the Senator allow me to inter

Mr. Ile - snmeres—No. sir. I know just where that
will run to. [Laughter
Mr. llettrauces proceeded to comment upon the
Stevens' letter,
Mr. klumnru—l never did agree with that dietin
guished authority on that point. I have always in
sisted that'all the reconstruction measures were posi
tively within the Constitution of the United States.
Mr. lieenntens said he did not claim that the Sen
ator logically stood with• him, bat two years ago he
stood upon that guarantee clause.
Mr. SUMNER--So I did.
Mr. HENDRICKS said the resolution offered by the
Senator on the first day of the last Congress, declared
that those States had ceased to be such, and had be
come Territories. He stood alone then, but now his
party bad all come to that doctrine.
Mr. FESBENDEN repelled the idea so far as he was
concetned..
Mr. Ilettearces made an allusion to the sensitive
ness of Senators on the other side.
Mr. Fate:ENDER said there was no senaltiveneed so
far as the Senator confined himself to facts.
Mr. Ilzenruces Enid he was not stating the position
of the Senator from Maine. but of the Senator from
elasrachusetts.
Mr. St'SINER proceeded to say he had founded his
position on the guarantee clause,butedr. HENDRI , EI ,
refused to be further interrupted, saying there could
be a separate Republican caucus held to settle this
question, and If Mr. Stevens had placed any of his
brethren In the wrong, he would arrange with them.
Ile (Mr. Hendricks) believed that gentleman was right
in (ailing it outside of the Constitution. In regard to
the remarks tiering the.debate of the leader of the re
hellion being allowed to go free, he said : Let them
just pass a law that Jefferson Davie can be
hung. There was no difficulty about it.
They could find thepower under the clause guaran

powers that are clearly oefinc-d. The hill, in reg and
to a majority of the Supreme Court. he chara , terized

Mr. herenmele explained that he had done injustice
to the-Speaker 'of the Honee the other day, Navin;;

to instructing the committee of conference on this
subject.
1. lie Senate, at 5 P. 11., adjourned.
House 01 Representatives.
Mr. .Scor ;ELY). of Pennsylvania, rising to a question
of privilege, offered a resolution reciting that the
Washington Even ingl'Exprise of yesterday contained
a statement that at a private gathering of gentlemen
of both political parties, one of the Judges of the
tsuprerue Court spoke very freely of the.econstruc
don measures of Congress, and declared inmost posi
tive terms that all those laws were unconstitutional,
and that the Court would be sure to pronounce
them so. That some of his friends near him seg•
;rested that it was exceedingly indiscreet to speak so
positively, when he at once repeated the ViCIVE , in a
more emphatic manner. Also reciting that several
causes under such reconstruction measures were now
pending in the Supreme Court, and directing the Ju
diciary Committee to inquire into the truth of the
declarations contained in the newspaper article, and
repent hefacts,wbth coma t tate uch a Misdemeanor in
office as requires this Uouse to present to the Senate
articles of impeachment against such Justice of the
Supreme Court, with power to examine witnesses at
any time.
The SPEdEint asked whether there was objection to
the introduction of the resolution.
Mr. Prarvs, of New York, rose and asked whether
the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Scofield) as
sumed the responsibility of stating that the facts m
elted were true.
Mr. SCOFIELD Said that, of course, he did sot; bu
he hoped to find out the truth or falsehood of the al
legation.
The SPEAKLII announced. after a pause, that the
resolution was before the House.
Mr. Jouritosr, of California. said he had risen to ob
ject, but be was willing to let the resolution be offered
if it designated the Judge referred to.
Mr. ELDranoic asked whether the reliolntion was be
fore the Moe Be.
The Smaxan replied that it was.
Mr. Et.orx.mnn said be bad risen for the purpose of
objecting to it, hut he had supposed the gentleman
from New York (Mr. Pruyn) to be making objection.
After the answer to that gentleman's tiquiry, he did
make the objection.
The SPEAKER remarked that, according to the
gentleman's own statement, he had not objected in
time.
Mt, BLAINE, of Maine, said it had been remarked by
a gentleman near him that the Speaker had waited an
unusual length of time for an objection, and that none
was made.
Mr. ScorIELD remarked, in further reply to Mr.
Pruyn's question, that he had no ground for the
resolution except what he gathered from .the article
tecited.
Mr. PRUSN declared that he had never heard of the

filon on thc whtle Corot.
_2dr. Stortzto said so far from casting an aspersion
elh the Supreme Court, or any member of it, he hoped
to vindicate all the judges. He hail still some hope
that there was one department of the government
which might differ politically from Congress and still
.not be guilty of the charge preferred in the journal re
ferred to, and which 'was eupposed to be in political
sympathy with the Court.
Mr. Piters—Some hope, the gentleman says.
Mr. SCOFIELD—Yes, sir: I have some hope.
Mr. 13oiran, of Pennsylvania, said he did Wet under
etsnd that any, gentleman on Ws side of the Rouse
would have objected to the inquiry if it had been based
upon anything that appeared authentic.
Mr. SCOFIELD inquired whether his colleague meant
to say that a statement in the newspaper referred to
was not authentic? •
Mr. Borne disclaimed any rut% intention, but he
meant to say that any newspaper paragraph was 4:aft
sufficient to base upon it gerund investigation. If the
charge were true every member would admit that the
dtclaration alleged to have been made by the Judge
was Indiscreet, and under the circumstances im
proper and 'unjustifiable.
Mr. BL&INE, of Maine. remarked that a like para
graph was published this niorning in the Baltimore
Gazelle, giving the name of the Judge as Stephen J.
Field.
Mr. JOHNEOIi, of California, said that if this were a
blow at Judge Field, ho wanted the name inserted in
the reeolution.
Mr. ScoFrutn suggested that he would allow the
gentleman from California (Mr. Johnson) to move to
amend the resolution by inserting the name of Judge
Field.
Mr. JouNsow declined to avail himself of the oppor
tunity.
Mr. Iliciur, of Califdrnia, declared that ho had been
familiar with Judge Field during all the years of the
rebellion, and that there was no man truer to the
Union, or more in favor of the suppression of the re
bellion than Judge Field. .
Mr. Berittt; of Illinois, said that such a grave charge
should have a bettor foundation than a mere news
paper article, and that therefore he would vote
against the resolution. •
After some remarks by Messra.Pbelps and Eitiiidge,
Mr. Scopwo moyed the previous question, which

AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP
_ .
The House then,at halfpast one o'clock, resumed the
consideration of the bill reported from the Committee
on Foreign 8 dohs, concerning the rights of American
citizens In foreign States. •
. _
}Mr. WARD, of 'New York Asked the Chairman of the
Committee on Foreign Affairs what was meant by
the language of the titet,Ketign j hy, which- ,Presba
dent is empowered toemploy-4,l4. — eolitees of tbe
government in just efforts.
Mr. Deluca bald that to answer that question would
require hint to make a speech, and he did not propose
to do so now.
Mr. WARD remarked that it, 'seemed to him those
words conferred very great power--the power to declare
war TA. _Balms said they did not. The President .af
the United States never had such power.
Mr. Dmaint.t.x. °Minnesota, addressed the Home
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN. --PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 1868.
in support of the general principles of the bill, though
in criticism of some elite provisions. ,
'Mr. WARD being allowed three I:n(110RO to express
his viewe, said be empathised fully with the purposes
and objects) of the bill, and no member would go far
ther than he would in favor of a measure which would
accomplish those purposes. Ile was opposed, how
ever, to vesting such very extraordinary powers in the
President. 'itwas giving him the power to inVolve at
any, time the nation in war.
Mr. Woonwann, of 'Pennsylvania, - Wolf allowed
eighteen minutes to express his views on the bill, de
clared himself in favor of its main features. The only
defect he saw in it was that it did not provide for the
expatriation' of American eittzeite.' He submitted'
that the American government was asking other gov
ernments tO provide for the expatriation of their
subjects. In behalf of the United, Statesit was quite
indispensable that the govenunentahotild begin by
providing for the expatriation of its ovtn citizens.
To meet tale defect he had dravemetip a section which he
proposed to offer as an amendment * , "that whenever
any citizen of the United States, whether native born
or naturalized, shell remove his domicile to a foreign
country in good faith, and with. the intention of be
coming a citizen or subject thereof, and who shall be
come naturalized under the laws of such country, he
shall ire - Considered as having abjured his allegiance
to the government of the United States with the con
sent of. that government, and all claims on the part of
such government on the allegiance of such citizen
shall iorever cease."
Mr. BANEa suggested, as he did yesterday, that the
incorporation of such provision would debar natural
ized citizens of the right up to this date of claiming
protection of the government.
Mr. WoonwAun remarked that while the Judiciary
Department had not actually decided that there was
no such right as expatriation, that was the inference,
and the necessary intendment - of its decisions, and it
could never be expected that foreign governments
would adopt the principle of the right of expatriation
unless the United States declared that right to exist
in its own citizens by statute.
Mr. Reason of lowa, Chairman of the Judiciary
Committee, said:
Mr. Speaker—l have read with interest and profit
the elaborate report of the Committee on Foreign Af
fairs, which acoom_panied the presentation of this
bill to the House. The subject of which it treats is
one of great gravity and high public concern. It
involves issues of mighty consequence to the Repub
lic and its citizens, and we should he careful not to
evade, avoid or becloud them by our present action.
The great question before AB is the right of expatri
ation. Does the bill which we are considering deal
fairly with this question, and in a way not calculated
to mislead those of our citizens who are most directly
interested in its provisions? lam going to say that,
in my judgment, It does not.
Those persons who come to our jurisdiction from
foreign States, and. complying with outlaws, acquire
citizenship, should find the shield of this Republic as
firmly held for their defense as it is for those who are
born upon our soil; and I do not doubt that this great
and just doctrine lathe exact objective point at which
the Committee on Foreign Affairs are aiming.
I close my remarks with an expreSsion of a hope
that our action upon the momentous qiiestion involved
in this bill may be such as will result in a thorou g h
reversal of the past action of our government, and in
the legislative declaration which cannot be misunder;
stood by foreign governments, or misinterpreted by
that portion of our population who have become citi
zens hr naturalization.
31r.Pme expressed Ihe fear that the bill, as it at
present stood, was.. simply to keep the word of promise
to our ear and break it to our hope.
Mr. 31Y Ens stated , the criticisms of the gentleman
from Lova (Mr. Wilson) were groundless, as the com
mittee bud already amended the bill in the respect al
luded to.
(The amendments which were made to the bill to
day by Mr. eanks, are as folloWs : "The words in the
first secticn insisted upon and main; allied" are struck
out, and the words 'theretofore asserted - substituted
for than. The exception of persons entitled to the
provisions of the bill is extended to deserters from
any military or naval conscription that may have been
actually ordered in such State. Also to persons who
shall fail to make report of property for taxation.l—
Speeches were made by Messrs. Kelley end Law
rence, of Ohio. in support of the bill declaring for
feited lands granted to the Southern railroads, and by
Aiessrs. Benjamin and Burr aaninet it.
At the close of the debate, Mr. JULIAN gave notice
that he would move the previous question at 4 o'clock
to- morrow.
