Andrew Johnson never cut a sorrierfigure

of writing a new letter to the General. 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.

will, of course, also be made public, and the
people may jrest assured that Grant Will only

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

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. These figures are do-'
rived from a table 1 prepared for the Bureau
of Statistics, by R. Fisher of New York, to
Bbow the length and cost of the railroads in
theseveral States at the close of 1867. Asa
part of the history of railroad progress, the
table is worth reprinting here:

A few years ago, New York and Ohio each
had a greater lengtbyof railroads than Penn
sylvania, and it was predicted that Illinois
would also Soon exceed her. 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?
But the classes are so large, that
even a first-class teacher would find' it

The fisheries of the Susquehanna and its
principal tributaries were,, oncoa. source of
great profit to the people' ’dwelling on their
banks.' 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.

of the moat difficult mountain work, and; embracing

fifty-eight dollar* ($68,068) per mile. Thto price include*
all necessary shops for construction and repair* ef cere,

only from its local traffic, but this 1* already much more
than sufficient to pay the interest on all the Bonds the
Company can issue, if net another mile were built, It la.
not doubted that when the road is completed the through

be no competition, it can always be done at profitable

Tbs Spies and the Native#.
[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

mittee tbe following bill relative to the Washing

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.
Mr. Connell, Philadelphia, one incorporating
tbe Baldwin Mining Company. ,
■ Mr. Stntzmen, Bedford, an act to require the
Auditor-General to remit all penalties charged by
the State against the different counties, to pur
suance of the 7th section Of the act of April 30th,
1864.
Mr. White, one authorizing interested parties
to testify in civil suits. Adjourned until next
Monday.

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

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

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

OBITUARY.
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.

(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. At the 1 o'clock, P.M. Open Board the
demand improved, and prices recovered %®l cent
This was soon followed by. another - downward turn,on
Erie, while the other roads, especially Rock Island and
Central, were fairly supported. <The Express, Telegraph
and Steamship Stocks followed the course of tho Rail*
ways early in tho day, and the Express Companies were
pressed on tale at another heavy decline in prices, though
experiencing some recoveries in the afternoon.

to-day, for the bill heretofore introduced by him

an amount equal to oneper cent, on the bonds
issued under this act, which sum will he reserved
and annually applied to the purchase,or payment
