He may 'write as many letters as be pleases, and get hisobsequious Cabinet flunkies to certify to his declarations; but the people will still believe Grant, who has never yet deceived them, rather than a President whose Whole efficial career has been marked by deceptions. It is quite plain that General Grant has neither taste nor talent for the kind of under- ; hand Work in which Mr. Johnson wished to employ him. He is a soldier and a gentle man, and can never stoop to the trickery of the demagogue or the mere politician. He wrote his letters to the President without con sultation with any one, and not for the public eye. They have been brought before the people under a demand of Congress upon the headof the War Department. tion of the correspondence, on either side, will, of course, also be made public, and the people may jrest assured that Grant Will only shpw himsdf more decidedly a patriot and.an honest man, while Johnson will show himself still more of a demagogue arid a mischief piotter. ,/ 1 . XBE SECOND) STREET HUCKSTERS. There is a bill pending before the Honse of Bqpresentatives at Harrisburg, providing for the? removal of thehucksters’ and farmers noarket wagons upon North Second street The formula of presenting such a bill is gone thrdughvritbregularlyevery session. and as regularly is the bill voted down, upon the pretense that it is intended to favor certain market-house companies, and to deprive the people of the opportunity to procure fresh provisions at first prices. The present bilb seems likely to share the fate of its prede cessors, for, since its reference to the Com mittee more than a week ago, nothing has heen heard of it. "Whatever, may be the opinion of our Legis lators upon the subject, the matter is. an im portant, one affecting as it does a large ; and valuable interest in this city. It will be ad mitted that if any body of men have a right to he heard in this matter, it is the property holders and business men before whose doors this street market establishes itself two or three .times a week. The whole of this interest is in favor of the removal of the wagons, and a petition to that effect has been presented to the Legislature,, signed, we nhderstand, by every firm doing business on Second street from Arch street to Button wood street. The special complaint is, that by/the .blockading of the sidewalks on mar ket days, business is brought to a complete stop. Customers arc unable to reach the storoß without great difficulty,and they either transfer their patronage to other localities or postpone their shopping to another day. In the meantime the property-holders and the storekeepers pay heavy taxes; mid the latter are compelled to.take out licenses, while the hucksters and “shinners” not only do not contribute a single dime to the revenues of the city, but are actually" guilty of a viola tion-of the laws in twa particulars: in selling without licenses, and in obstructing the side walks. If all of these dealers were farmers, there mightperhaps be some reason for permitting them, to remain. undisturbed, although the question of right would still be the same-, but the majority of the market men are city hucksters and “shinnere,” who offer their goods at second hand, and who have no posr able claim to exemption from taxation tmd Bcensefeea. The people cannot procure a single article from them at a lower rate than it can be obtained in the market houssß. •They offer their goods at regular prises, jind consequently make greater profits than the legitimate dealers. But. the injustice does not end here. Throughout the city there are hundreds of §>roviSion stores whose proprietors pay rental and tones, and comply with all the municipal. Ciduudnoes, and these Second street hucksters, taking ,advantage of the popular but errone •us idea that provisions can be purchased at lowrt .priow from their wagons, injure the imsihessof the stores to an incalculable ex tent . This ought not to be. If one man or net nf mah hy a right to transact business in direct viojationoflaw, ail have it It makes/ no difference that the enstoiii is an ancient one, further than to aggravate the wrong. Indeed, whatever excuse might have existed years ago,when there were, bnt a few market * houses, cannot be pleaded now. We have fcecpme accustomed to permitting this filegjtimate business to be" transacted Sn "Second street, and It does- not appearas objectionable as it really Is. j suppose the hucksters' chose to transfer , the . scene of their operationa > <to Chesthut'slreet, /would the busiueas men ■'/of Biats’treet-submit to it for an hour? ’ ahc( WonM,i ndt ;‘ ; iihe authorities take instant/ 1 jneaS&sto remoyethe wagons?

BJUtBOADIIlN: PMhlSMyAHlii With' a considerably Icbs area than some; of the ether States, and with a large portion' of that area mountainous, Pennsylvania has a much greater extent .of’railroads than any: other.’ There are in the State, finished or nearly so, 4,628 miles, the- coßt of which has. been about two hundred and twenty-two ; millions of dollars.

But they have all been distanced not only in extent hut in cost One-twelfth ofall the railroad lines in' the United States> now in the State of Penn sylvania, . and about one-eighth of all the money, spent in building railroads in the country has been spent in Pennsylvania. The construction has generally been more costly in this State, because of the mountains and other difficulties that had to be overcome. It does not appear that the table given above includes the underground railways of Penn sylvania, which are the property of coal companies and individual" coal ope rators. There are hundreds of milea of railroad of this character, and the cost of their construction has, in some cases, been very great. Railroad making, in Penn sylvania, has hot begun to approach an end. There are many parts of the State yet unpro vided with railroads; there are long roads and branch roads yet uncompleted. The great Pennsylvania Central Is ramifying into every county that it passes; and the same ihay be said of the Reading and its continuations and olthe Philadelphia and Erie. Considering* hoiw Pennsylvania is sometimes sneered at by New York as being behind the times and deficient in enterprise, it is amusing to see how, in the great business of railroad making, she has quietly and rapidly gone'ahead of New York as well as all the other States. Professor Agassiz, in Ms lecture delivered last evening before the Teachers’ Institute, dwelt with much force upon some ol the de fects of the prevailing systems of education. He urged that they were not sufficiently prac tical,and that children are required to fill their minds and memories with words, mere words ; words of wMch, too often, they have no proper conception of the meaning, and which profit them no more in the way of mental' aliment than Would the committing to memoiy of any formula of rigmarole that is entirely meaningless. There is too much truth in this. Every, intelligent parent who has childrefi who are in the primary or secondary schools, and who takeß an interest in their studies, must be impressed with this faet The . earnest . little students rack their brains : to master given formulas and set lessons, and when they have accomplished the task, they might as well have charged their minds with so many Greek words, for they have only mastered the form without re'aOhing the. substance. Such leßsonsaß'thepeare, of course, soon forgotten, and the depend upon ..time, experience and observa tion to gain the information which shpuld have been communicated to him, ’ In telligible shape in the school-room.' |- iessor Agassiz spoke very earnes tly' concern ing the importance of employing only the best teachers in the primary schools. The classes jn this branoh of publio. schools are generally entrusted to raw girlß, who, how ever Well: versed they may be in school book knowledge, me too often deficient in the qualities wmcb make a good' teadher, a thing wMch is,' B by. the way, a good dew rarer than the' .world, shspedts?

People now living there. remember wheto the finest shad in the country were caught by hundreds of . thousands every spring, and the value of these supplies of de licious and wholesome food> was inestimable. But theconstruction of the Pennsylvania and Tidewater Canals, with the . dams needed to create a proper,, level of water, utterly de stroyed the fisheries. The 1 Legislature of iB6O passed an act for the construction of weirs in the various daniß, so as to allow of the passage of the ’ fish up the river.- Colonel James Worrell, C. E., was appointed by Governor Curtin to direct and superintend the work. He has made a re port to the Legislature stating that the weir in the dam at Columbia has answered its pur pose: The railroad and canal companies owning the other (lams have made difficulties about constructing the nacessary webs, and litigation will have to be resorted to to effect the object But the good' result of the weir at Columbia was, shown; last Bpring, when quantities of fine shad were caught in the Susquehanna, and on the Juniata as high up as Newport, in Perry county. The number caught is variously estimated at from- ten to twenty thousand. Even this number was of value to the citizens along the rivers It may be expected that this spring the Catch of shad will be greatly increased. The removal of the flßh-dams, formerly so common, whereby the descending spawn of the shad were caught and destroyed, has also engaged the atten tion of Col. Worrell If this good work goes on, the Susquehanna and its tributaries will again swarm every year with shad that are even better than those, of the Delaware. Another delicious fish, unknown in later days, may be expected to appear also; the Susquehanna salmon, which was not so large as that of New England and the Provinces, but wasjnuch more delicate and delicious. The wrongs endured by the Irish people at the b atl ' ,H of the British Government are beginning to be appreciated and acknowl edged 'even in England. John Bright has' boldly come out as a champion of Ireland, and in a speech at a great meeting in Bb mingham, on Tuesday evening, he begged for church and legislative reform in the Green Isle. He declared that England ought to do as much for Ireland as the United States ■would, if Ireland belonged to them. . This is the true mode of -reaching and redressing the wrongs of the Irish, and making them con tented and loyal to the crown. There has been muoh expenditure of money and life in the Fenian business, and nothing practical has been gained on either side. But the Fenian agitation, and the alarm it causeß in England, are. at last having one good effect, in opening the eyes of the people to the necessity of doing something for the Irish. It is hardly to be expected that the existing Parliament will do this. But there can be little doubt that in the first Parlia ment chosen under the new. Reform bill, where there will be a fairer representation of the people, measures will be adopted to re move the disabilities of the Irish. John Bright has already taken the matter in hand, and he is a great - power among the Reform party of Great Britain. The friends of equal rights, in this country and every other, heartily wish him success.

Fort Monroe, Feb. 4— This morning, atabout 4 o’clock, a* the steamer George Leary, of the Baltimore Steam Packet Company’s line, which runs between'Baltimore and Norfolk, was com* log to her wharf at this place, she collided with the schooner Peter A-Keyeer, of Baltimore, and sunk her instantly In about 14 fathoms of water. At the time of the collision the steamer waa heading southwest by west, while the schooner was on the _port tack; standing out towards- the Capes. Sue showed ho light, and when ducoveiedby the[Leanr,was just under her bows. Captain HW stpppbd the Leary, and at once lowered a boat and, sent the mate to the assistance of the wreck. They succeeded In res cuing five of the crew, Captain Michael MeCor mlck, Jobm Nickciufager, jthe mate, Patrick Henry, Robert Shirley and Wm. Baker, sailors. Throe others, Patrick McDongall, John McGUI, whites, and Wm. Hlil, a colored man, were unfor tunately carried down and drowned. The crew all belonged in Philadelphia, whither , the vessel was bound. She was front the Patuxent river, with a cargo of oysters, and was said to be loaded down within six Inches of her gunwales. Tho steamer struck her amidships, and so slight was the shock that none of the passengers on board the Leary felt it, and were surprised to learn that an acci dent had'oeenrred.

[Senate Cytrcapondence London Dally News.] A somewhat amusing Instance of the sort of rumors wblch came'floating into, the camp at Se nafe is related by General Merewether and Colonel Phayre. When these officers were in the high land, considerably beyond the first plateau, and while’enjoying their morning meal, a Shoho rushed in breathless haste into their tent, and communicated to them the startling Intelligence that an innumerable army of Abyssin lans Were within , a mile or two of their camp, and were approaching with the expressed determination of swallowing them up, camp and all. Not so greatly startled as. their informant hoped they would be, they told the Shoho, through the medium of Dr, Krapf, who: was with them, that, under the circumstances, everything must give place to breakfast. For curiosity’s sake, a few men of the 3d Light Cavalry were sent out to seo what foundation there waa for the story. The officer in charge reported seeing a motley group of Agami, some armed with fire locks,, others with bludgeons, proceeding upon their lawful avocation, viz.: to be revenged upon tbe Bhobos, for some insult or raia of which they (tbe Agami) had been the victims. The lying rsscalhad been despatched by hls tribe to carry the-news in question, in the hope that it might lead to the crowd of Agami being swal lowed ,np by a handful of tbe light cavalry. Another man who brought a similar mes-' sage to Beuafe, and who waa believed to 'be a spy of Theodore’s, was told to examine tbe samp, tbe men, the horses, and the equip ments, and to report to his master all he had seen. He was also requested to inform all the chiefs that while the English very much preferred peace, they were intensely fond of fighting, and left it with the Abyssinian a to decide which they should have. A copy of Sir Robert Napiers proclamation was given him to carry to Theo doras, and then he went his way. There seems no reason, tons far at least, to anticipate any-: thing but most cordial assistance and coopera tion from the natives of the country, after they are once persuaded of the honesty of the pro fessions that have been made to them. Prince Kassa (or Prince DejesmsJ Kassa) of Tlgre, in whose the territory the advance brigade under Colonel Field Is now encamped, has of hisowa accord sent a confidential .agent to accompany Slr.R. Napier, to see to it that supplies are not Kept back from the army, and to afford assistance generally. This agent Is a man named Meertcha, an Abyssinian of Armenian origin, who received bis education ha Bombay, at the institution founded and.presided overlay that excellent vete ran In the mission field, the Rev. Dr. Wilson. Haring returned to Abyssinia many years ago, he was marked by the Prince or Tlgre, who, on learning of the advance of the English army, sent him with assurances of his friendly feelings towards ns, and with his sym pathy with tbe object of the expedition* Strangely enough; Colonel Phayre had letters from Dr. Wilson to Meertcha, but did not forward them, oa thev might have been intercepted and used against a man who would assuredly-be friend ua If he could. Meertcha’s assist ance and • advice will be of the greatest valne. He its an Intelligent man, and has himself been a prisoner or Theodore’s It is worthy of remark that the present chief of Tlgre is one of the old Sola Gad la family—a family which has always been befriended by the Eng lish. Balt and Coffin took their cafiM up thirty yean ago, and it is a strange coincidence that alter many ye are of varying fortune and exile a representative should again be in power ready his benefactors help now that they Fatal Accident ia a Coal, Mine—One Man Killed. - [From the Pittsburg .Fed of Feb.

Senate.— ln the Senate petitions were pre sented by Mr. Shoemaker, of Luzerne, from vari ous townships, asking that the question of llcense-or no license be submitted to a vote of the people. The following bills were reported from the Committee: An act authorizing tbe appoint ment of six Notaries Public to Philadelphia. Already .passed the House. Mr. Shoemaker, Chairman of the Judlciaiy Committee, reported favorably from that Com mittee tbe following bill relative to the Washing ton Library Company: ' / "Be it enacted, that an act to incorporate the Washington Library Company, approved May; Ist, 1861, be and the same Is hereby repealed.” This Washington Library Company charter Is the basis npon which a distribution of gifts is alleged to have taken place for the benefit of a certain Riverside Institute,. the sale of tickets having been conducted with the printed sanction of tbe enterprise by William B. Mann. Lewis R. Broom, all, Jas. M. Bcovel. W. W. Ware, J. E, Coe and Hemy Gorman. The Judiciary Committee find that tbe affair was In the nature of a lottery and favor the repeal. Mr. McConaugby, of Adams, presented a pe tition from numerous citizens of Adams county, in favor of the immediate repeal of all laws im posing per capita or head taxes for bounty pur poses, the petition setting forth that there was no-further necessity for such taxes, and that they were unjust. ■ The Senate agreed to hold its sessions hereafter from ten and a half A. 31. to one and a quarter P. M., daily. Mr. Connell, of Philadelphia, rose to a pri vileged question, and referred to the charge' made to the Pittsburgh Gazette of yesterday, that ' he had introduced a bill for the inspection of oils lor tbe purpose of providing a snug berth for himself, thereby using his : position as a legis lator to enrich himself, and that Governor Geary had promised to appoint him to the place. Mr. Connell denounced the whole story as false to every particular,' and as an absnrd and malicious concoction, without tbe slightest foundation, and so known to its author, Mr. Penniman, of the Gazette , who had shown a felicitous faculty for falsehood to crowding four whoppers Into two sentences. He (Mr. C.) had never thought or even dreamed'or asking Go vernor Geary for the place, and hold no interest in the bill other than that which any representative might be supposed to have, who desired to pro tect the lives and property of far constituents from accidents constantly occurring from the use of > adulterated aha .dangerous burning fluids. He had allowed the bill to go over until bis constituents had ample time to examine it, APd suggest such amendment's as they thought ** tlhj following bills were introduced: Mr. BilllngfeTt, of Lancaster, read an act to in corporate the Delaware and Lancaster Railroad Company, capital stock $1,600,000, with the right to build a road from a point on the Delaware river, near Point Pleasant, in Bucks county, by way of the County Line, Morgan to wb, Chnrcbtown and New Holland, to a point at or near Lancaster City, mid with the right to bridge the Delaware.

Y.Hentld.l - L ==^=. Here is a complete rapture. We now see that, -in this Stanton imbroglio, while Mr, Johnson thought he. had General Grant, the Radicals had hlniall the time; and we see In this eorrespond cnce, and in the motion of Mr. Wilson,. in the House of Representatives, to refer it .to the Judiciary or- Impeachment Committee, and in its reference "to the Committee on Reconstruction, ’that it means mischief to Andrew Johnson. He holds no communication with Secretary Stanton; be has. ordered General Grant to disregard'StahtohVmtiemSunless- satis fled that they Ate really {bytfae President’s author ity. But it seems that some direct order from the President to Stanton is still heeded to vitiate any order the latter may choose fo give as by the Pre- BldentVdlrccUon.HeneethechaigepfGen.Grant that Mr- Johnson, fromthebegiuniog to;the end i of this matter, has been guilty of “an attempt to inWilve me in the. resiatanoe ;of •'law.”. > All these things taken together, in the hands of ! “Old Thad Stevens,” to whom they have, been referred; may be worked np Into a case of im peachment.

If General Grant had told the on fhe Saturday what he Intended to do on.the Monday, Mr. Johnson would have put soihe other person in bis place. Grant could at any time have foiled this Imputed Intention to make him % tool to de feat the law,, by telling tbe President the truth. Bnt truth and openness would have frustrated his pnrpose to act as the tool of the Radicals to toto statt Stanton. If he had told the-President, and the president had not him, Stanton would have been restored, and the respohrtbillty .of permitting It have rested with Mr. Johnson. If he had disclosed his purpose, and, the Presi dent had removed him, Stanton must have re sorted tP a judicial remedy;' and in this case also, the responsibility would hive been wholly with tho President. In either case,a shifting.of therespon- S could only result from General Grant’s ty. To Impnte, then, as a justification of that dnpllcity, an Intention which frankness wonld nave foiled, is. an admission• of guilt. Johnson could escape responsibility only by Grant’s falsehood. The danger that Grant would be made a tool was just equal to the danger that he would not tell tbe truth. It , was only behind Grant’s wilful . deception that the President could by any pessibiUty Skulk, if to skulk be were ever So much Inclined In bis Insolence to the President General Grant parades bis own infamy, by virtually pleading guilty to the President’s charge. ’There is ho Way .In which the President could have pnt the rcsponsiblllty.upon General Grant, If he had told bis - intention'when the Presidant, asked him.

Death of Dr, Jacob Gilliams, . Alluding to the decease of tills venerable and universally respected Philadelphian, the Press of this morning says: , It is with deep regret that we now record the death of Dr. J. Gilliams, one of the founders of tbe Academy of Natural Science. To quote Dr. Rushenbergcr, U. S. N., “this gentleman, though tbe practice of his profession (fid not permit him to cultivate extensively any'branchuf natural science, was ever ready to aid and facilitate Its votaries.” - He was the intimate associ ate and friend of Charles Lticien Bona parte, the ornithologist,, and, to connection with him and a few others, established, in the year 1816, the MaclUrian Lyceum to this city. This 'institution was but short lived; but the Academy of Natural Science, which be assisted to establishing, bas attended an eminence as world-renowned as Its founders clearly perceived and prognosticated. The first period of jbe his tory of the academy extends from tbe foundation, An*net 1,1815, to its establishment at tbe hall bnilt at the expense of Dr. Gilliams, to Gilliams’ court, Arch street Dr. Gilliams, who died oh the evening of Tuesday, Februaty4th, aged 85, was a native of Philadelphia, anawas to. practice until about twelve veare ego. He stood very high in his profession, to tbe: study and duties of which he was devoted. Few men were so popular—few so much deserved the friendship and regard which he so well and so long succeeded in meriting and attaining. He was a proficient to the natural sciences, and more particularly in or nithdlogy. This brought him into intimate asso ciation with Thomas Say, Alexander Wilson, William Bartram, Prince Charles Lucien Bona* parte, John Speakman, Dr. Rusbenberger. Nich olas 8. Parmantier, Dr. Troost, J. J. Audubon, John Casein, and others. i Dr. Gilliams baß left fonr sons and two daugh ters. . His illness was neither tedious nor pain ful. and his loss will be felt and mourned by a very large circle of bis fcllow-citizene. FINANCIAL and COMMEECIAL.

(From to-day’s Herald, f . *’•''-.V FT.n. 6.—Gold has developed a rising tendency to-day. underthe influence of the published correspondence be tween the President and Gem GtAnt.and In the afternoon thtowaastimulated by. the reportJhat the Reconstruction C<rnfmltteehelda special meeting this morning to con* eider the subject.'which resulted In a sub-committee ibe* iM Appointed to. inquire whether there is any evidence of a design on the part of the President to evade or vio late any-act of„ Congress and to report accordingly, with a view, of course, to Impeachment, The fluctua tions were from 140%’t0- 141%, with-the closing transac tions at : five o’clock at 141%. Cash gold was insnper abundant supply, the ‘short" Interest being ligbtTaud lofctut were made at rates varying l from five: to teven per cent- for carrying. The grow clearings amounted to $43,«»00p, the gold balances to $1,915,015, and the our* 1° $2*772,118, The steamer Russia took out $881,781 in specie. The stock market has been excited and uneetUed again by the same artificial influences which were so conspicu ously at Work yesterday, but during tho afternoon the uneasy feeling which prevailed in the morning gave place to restored confidence, and prices, which had been previously depressed, were in the ascendant* The speculative director in Erie and his hirelings, and those 'co-operating with them, eoueht to create freeh. distrust by circulating false rumors regard ing the stock of that company in order to depress it for the purpose of buying at the decline. Oho of tho reports Invented wee that the JEkie Company was con* solidated- or about to be consolidated with the Boston,. Hartford, and Erie Company; and absurd as this was it was not -without some effect in promoting the seherne for swindling the street organised by the unscrupulous individuals in . question. When railway managers can bo found who will disgrace them* selves and reflect discredit upon the companies theyre* present by depreciating the value of its stock and injur ing its credit in this manner, it is high time that they should he branded as scoundrels and chests if they can* not he consigned to a penitential?. as they deserve to be; foif practically, it is as much a false pretence to manu* factored, false report in order to .break down, the price of a.efock for the purpose of buying at the decline as to misrepresent the valne of an article offered for sale ha an erdinary business transaction. The largest transac tions at ail the boards : and in, the‘long room -between the. sessions were in Erie, and the lowest price at which the stock sold 'whs 72%; hut the latest quotation, was 78%®73. The business In the other leading rail wayshares was evenly distributed, but Rock Island attracted special attention, owing to the liti* gation in wMcb the company is involved respecting the $4,900,000 of now stock, and interest in it has been revived by the bill which has been introduced In the lowa Legis* lature, is tho interest of the present directors, who are anxious to retain control of the road at all hazards. [From the Times.] -Fitter aby Btb.—The public funds and the Gold Room were very dull and quiet through the forenoon. The buy ers made their bids with caution, as though on a hesita ting market; and, on the other hand, the offers tor sell were not very decided or In large sums. After 2 o’clock I*. M., the tam was upward in 4he sales of Gold, from 141®% to 141®% per cent, and tho demand for United States 5-20's, and Six per cents, of 1861 aleo improved, and the quotations advanced %@>.f per cent. The Wash* ington sensationin the afternoon was to the purport of another threatened movement to Impeach the President. This bad no startling effect, though Itwas made the pre text of the sudden revival In Gold of M®% per cent.' The Foreign Exchanges, after tho sailing of the Russia, were dnu, at 109%@1Q97£ per cent forWStandard : sixty nay bills on Condon. The steamer carried out $861,000 In Gold and Sliver. Some prime short sight bills were drawn for this opportunity at .U0%@110% # cent.* '‘ur daily quotations for both 60 days and snort sight should be taken as for the bills of the very highest clan of drawers-the half-dozen or so of picked names among the private Banking-houses and the Bank of Commerce, and California and Canada Bank Agencies Other signatures equally responsible st 11 at cent concession, and Southern Bank bills at %T cent concession from what are called the standard rates. Most of the Southern and New rorfc Merchant bills drawn against Cotton are taken privately by the leading Banking-houser. and seldom appear on the afreet We make this explanation again, because we are occasionally told that oar Foreign Exchange quota tion is too blah. The offerings of Money to. the Brokers continue quite free at cheap rates of interest. There was not much new business done to-day, owing to the dullness in the Public Funds and im the Gold-reoro. The sales on all are 508 W cent, with exceptions at 4 cent for large balances vol untarily left with the leading houses. The 1 Railway market at the Stock Exchange was nearly all day in something of a transition stage. Tbe New >ork and Western Roads after giving Way Inst night opened with a further decided fall in Erie, Naw'York Central, Rock Island, Ac., and there was quite a lively selling temper at the . early Boards and in the Long-room.
