A. JOHNSON SP£AKS A PIECE.
If Mr. Johnson’ehands and head have not
forggtten they cunning, it is very evident that
Ids tongtie has. Mr. Thornton, the new
British Minister, has been'lcept waiting for
several days, while Mr. Johnson has been
closeted with this Cabinet, concocting the
piece which he was to speak on n the
reception of Mr. Thomton. It was "omi
nously intimated that the President was pre
paring a crusher for England On the Alabama
question, and that, as the mighty issues of
peace oir war were .to hang upon tbSPExec
utive utterances, it was necessary to prepare
the eventfUl speech with extraordinary care.
The Cabinet was convened, the Rev. P. V.
Nasbyiwas summoned by telegraph from
jn . . NT 'T*- 3_ '.watnAil Anil
cojueunt AXVU&UO, «uu, mwn OBU
protracted consultation, the important docu
ment was completed and y esterday Mr. John
son spoke his pieoe. The reporters were ex
dnded from the presence lest some enthusi
astic scribe, carried away by Mr. Johnsofi’s
gushing eloquence, might fail to convey to
tht public the precise language- of the Chief
Magistrate, and perhaps embroil two great
nations in war, by a misplaced comma or a
mistaken word. Mr. Thornton entered the au
gust presence of His Excellency, and, with far
less trepidation than mighthave been expected
from a “plain Mr. Thornton” standing for
the firsttime before the redoubtable Johnson,
made his bow gracefully and said a few Kief
words of courtesy, expressing his thanks for
the treatment of his predecessor and his hope
that he should have a pleasant time of it at
the American Court. As Mr. Thornton does
not belong to the nobility,Ms speech was easy
and, with one or two exceptions, gram
matical. He said “subsist,” when he meant
to say “exist,” and he had the bad taste to
remind the President that there were “dis
tinguished statesmen” in the Legislature as
well as in bis Cabinet, a fact i wMch Mr.
Johnson is disposed to ignore and deny.
Haying said his say, Mr. Thornton braced
himself, for the President’s reply. He had
been prepared for one of those startling flights
of the American eagle, which Bobinson of
Brooklyn so happily illustrates in Congress,
and he was ready to demand his passport
and telegraph, to the Home Office to prepare
for war on the instant. With, what a sense
of relief must Mr. Thornton have drawn
his breath when the President had spoken his
piece I “JFarturiunt monies; nasoitifr
ridiculus mus!” Hr. Johnson was com
plimentary to Queen Victoria, whom the
people of America love beyond all other sov
ereigns. Bir Frederick Bruce enjoyed the
respect and esteem of this government, .ac
tually without disobeying his orders or disre
garding British interests, a fact which seems
to have puzzled Mr. Johnson a good deal,
probably because Sir Frederick was so unlike
himself in these respects. Thus far the Pre
sident’s piece ,had been simply complimen
tary, hut now it became diplomatic. Now
came the sentence which was the concen
trated essence of the brains of Johnson, Sew
ard, Welleß, McCulloch, Browning, Randall
and Stanhery. Here it is in full:
‘•ln regard to the political relations of the
United States and Great Britain only one thing
seems to be necessary, which Is that the states
men and people of the two countries may con
stantly and carefully study and conform their
measures to the political logic which in every
region where the English language Is spoken so
distinctly manifests itself in the increasing love
of constitutional freedom, and the rapid march
of common, irresistible and Indivisible civiliza
tion-”
It is well for the country that Mr. Johnson
took time over this sentence. Had he at
tempted to speak it suddenly the - conse
quences might have been very serious. Even
as it is, the diplomacy, and the statesmanship
of the two countries will stop short and take a
long look before they leap into Mr. Johnson’s,
new method of settling the Alabama claims.
The method is elaborate, as might have boen
—expected. The two nations areto commence a
course of constant and careful study. That
being accomplished, they are to conform
their measures to the political logic, which
manifests itself id an increasing love *of con
stitutional freedom and the rapid march of
common, irresistible and indivisible civiliza
tion! There you have it, and the Alabama
clums are satisfactorily settled.
Mr. Dickens haßa neat way of interpolating
original matter into his readings, and it would
be worth two prices of admission to hear him
introduce this Johnsonian flight into Sergeant
Buzfuz’s speech to the jury. He could do it
beautifully. There is sueh a climax in that
“common, irresistible and in-di-vi-si-ble cl
yfirW-zation /” Poor Mr. Thornton! How
lie must have wondered what it was all about!
Mow he must have scratched Ms diplomatic
bead as he wended his way back to the
British embassy, pondering over this new
doctrine of an indivisible civilization in its
aelations to the Alabama claims! How the
wily old .Premier must have chuckled
•yer hiß new-coined phrase with whieh
be bad confounded the , wisdom
•f British diplomacy! Cyrus marching into
Babylon through the bed of the Euphrates
could sot have astonished Belshazzar more
««»»did Be ward when he made this sudden
assault - upon the unsuspecting Britisher
through the unheard-of channel of an indivisi
ble civilization. This nehr Johuson-Beward
bohcy will doubtießs te jnade,the subjest of
• Congressional inyestlgadon,and the country
will eventually be enlightened as to the
bidden import of this most absurd of . all
absurd-pieces of Executive elofluejice. .
Jtr.;Af^ire,ofthiB city, has'introduced in
the figawlafflhtßie a bill which te^desijjnied
|iD now ■ bcffoi^thei
yoßk3#»lic*oya»ititetfee control oftheOity
Connells j but Hr. Affaire's bill is designed to
tesue ihe purity of the water between Flat
sock and Norristown. It provides against
fea throwing into the river of “any carrion
or carcaaelof any dead horse or other animal, j
or any excrement or filth from any slaughter
honfle, vault, well, slnE, culvert, privy, or .
necesßaryj any offal, or putrid, or noxious
matter from any dye-house, still-house, tan
yard, manufactory, or mill; any refuse from
any coal-oil refinery, gas works, or any other
noxlonß matter or liquid whatever, calculated
to render the water of said river im
pure.” It is very important tha' the
water of the Schuylkill should be kept pure
while we have to depend upon it for oui
supplies of the nieediUl element; but the fact is
beginning to loom up moßt ’formidably that
the sources of water supply which, were
adequate for a city of a hundred and fifty
thousand inhabitants, half a century ago,
and which are barely sufficient for the Phila
delphia of 1868 with its 800,000 population,
will be out of the question with the coming
Philadelphia which will have the Schuylkill
running-through its centre, like the Thames ■
or the Seine in London and Paris. It is emi-.
nently proper to throw all possible safeguards
about the purity of the Schuylkill water; but
their practicability is another question, with a
swarming, population which is constantly
growing more dense: scattered along the'
banks of the river. The obtaining of a**more
copious supply of water and the securing of
more certain purity are problems that must
be splved in the not far distant future, and
next£o the object which Mr. Adaire has in
, view; it is of paramount importance.
The other day a Copperhead Congressman
from Ohio, who, with genuine Democratic
consistency, was anxious to make out a strong
case against the influence of freedom and free
institutions, talked about the “free niggers”
who were “crowded into the tenement
houses" of Philadelphia. This speech, which
came of ignorance and bitter prejudice, was
answered by Judge Kelley, who informed the
Ohio Copperhead that Philadelphia, with its
eight hundred thousand inhabitants, did not
contain a single tenement-house within all its
wide borders. The honorable gentleman
wfent still further and declared that he would
present Philadelphia as the best example this
world affords of the benefit to the whole com
munity of fair wages for honest labor. In
no other community on this side of the
Atlantic or the other are there so many fami
lies who dwell upon land and sleep beneath a
roof that is owned by them. It is a promi
nent characteristic of the city that the labor
ing people own their homes, and that in their
little houses are to be found what are called
“all the modem conveniences”—gas, bath,
hot and cold water, &c. Judge Kelley told
only the simple truth, in his vindication of
Philadelphia, although his speech necessarily
smacks somewhat of the auctioneer’s details
of desirable bits of property. New York is
distinguished for its tenement houses and for
crowding into the smallest possible com
pass the largest possible share ot human
misery. Philadelphia, upon the other hand,
stands foremoßt among great cities for thrift
and comfort Western Copperheads, in their
anxiety to make out a case against the cause
of freedom, stupidly rank us along with New
York with its 600,000 tenement house popu
lation and Its 61,000 Democratic majority.
2 Mr. Johnson is not so utterty. irrepressible
after all, as he is generally supposed to be.
Upon one point least, he shows signs of giving
way. He is growing tired of writing vetoes.
He worked away at that profitless business
last year in a way thfct showed that he en
joyed it, hut satiety is apt to follow upon free
indulgence, and the Executive appetite be
gins to pall, as Congress offers fresh oppor
tunities for the-exercise of the vetoing power.
Congress and the country care so little for
-Mr. Johnson’s vetoes, now that their novelty
has worn off, that they no longer pay, and
the disgusted President now lets
bills go by default and pass
into laws under the ten days limitation, be
cause he confesses that it is of no use to write
veto messages to such an obdurate body as
the Fortieth Congress. It is pleasant to see
Mr. Johnson’s obstinacy giving way, if it is
only at a single point. Even he ought not to
be considered utterly reprobate and beyond
the pale of political salvation, and who knows
but that he may even yet repent of hia multi
tudeofsins and return to those paths of
rectitude in which he walked for a little
■while? The signs in his* favor are not
-over-numerous or over-strong, but charity
hopeth all JhiDgs, and his abandonment of
his cross-grained, abusive}] and mischievous
veto messages is at least a straw in his favor,
and he should have the benefit of it.
The Chief Engineer of the Gas Trust gives
public notice that on and after the first of
March the price of gas will be reduced to
$2 40 net, per thousand feet. This will be
an important saving. Gas has become an
article of prime necessity, and if the-field was
open for competition there is no doubt that
its cost would be greatly reduced from the
price just fixed by the Gas Trust. Iu Pitts
burgh the lighting medium is furnished to the
citizens at a much lower figure than is de
manded of the people of Philadelphia. The
convenience of supplies of bituminous coal, of
course, has much to do with this result; but
the difference in the cost of gas between Phil
adelphia and Pittsburgh is still entirely out
of proportion to the coßt of tr ansportation of
gas-yielding coaL

a handsome weekly paper, the first number
of which has just appeared. It is published

editor and publisher. Vast as is the member

Pennsylvania, this is the Only paperdevoted

ceived except from registered voters of the Re
publican party. It is of the utmost importance
that theise elections should be attended by all Re
publicans who desire to select . good
men to represent them in these most
important Conventions. The substantial (
citizens of Philadelphia ehonldtake these pri- j
mary elections fit hand, and now that the regis
tering system is enforced there is not the old cer
tainty that this class of the community will be
overridden by irresponsible votes brought in to
overpowe’rtheir influence.. Tjie better.class of
our local politicians desiro to see the standard
of the ward nominations elevated, and they
will gladly welcome the presence and
co-operation of that large body of
the Republicans of Philadelphia who, by habit
ually absenting themselves from the polls, have
left the management of these important primary
elections in the hands of men who make use of
them too much for their own selfish purposes.
We therefore call upon our Republican friends
throughout the city to attend to tills summons of
the Exccntlvo Committee to register themselves
on the 11th in tbeirfrgspcctive Election Divisions,
and to vote on the 25th inst., at the same places,
for good and honest men. to represent them in
the approaching National and State Conventions.

A Boy Found Dead In His Boom.
(From the G'hlc«toJOunul of Feb. SI
One of the most mysterious; that ever
fell to our lot to record' in our city Intelligence
occurred yesterday afternoon. About three
o’clock yesterday afternoon the lifeless body of a
boy only fifteen years of agej and whose name is
Charles Gordon, was fonnd, shot-pierced, in a
packing room of Adams, Blackner & Lyon's
bindery and publishing house, No. 165 Randolph
street A bullet hole appeared directly over the
deceased’s heart, and plaialy showed;, from what
effect death had ensued, but the caube of the ef
fect was not peveaied.
Charles Gordon slas employed as an apprentice
in the bindery connected with the establishment
named.’ His place of work was on the, fourth
floor. .The packing room,of the establishment
is the rear room on the .floor underneath'the
bindery- Adjoining this apartment Is a, sort of
general store-room, and next to this is asleeping
' \ apartment and drceeing-room, attached to the
front office. This closet room, bat one removed
from ifac packing room, at the time of the
tragedy bad jnst been entered by Miss Helen
Bodelson, a yonng lady employed in the office.
She was wauting her hands after eating dinner,
and whllethus engaged she heard the tiring of a
shot, thetitpnrt proceeding, apparently, from the
alley in the rear of the packing room.
Miss Bodelson heard the report, but, strangely,
paid no special attention to it About a quarter
of an hour later she had occasion to visit the
packing-room, and, npon entering the room,
found Gordon lyhig, face downwards, on the
floor. She thought he was asleep, and knowing
that it was the hoar at which he should be at his
work, proceeded to awaken him. As she was
- about touching him, he moved slightly, and she
heard a peculiar gargling eoaod issue from his
throat. On this, she became terrified and called to
the room a yonng man named Edward Carbery.
When he arrived, : Gordon was still lying
on his face, and at intervals the - death-rattle
sound could be heard. They imagined that' he
mast have fallen into a fit, and they raised him
- from the floor. He was placed npon a cot hear
bv, bis collar and cravat were loosened, and, as
• he showed no signs of recovering, a physician
was called In. Upon his arrival he discovered
the pulse of the boy. to fie very low/ There was
remalning’only the least perceptible tremor, and
in another minute it was gone. Under the suspi
eion that deceased bad fallen in a fig an attempt
was made to revive the circulation of the blood.
It proved useless; young Gordon was dead. The
doctor opened the young lad’s vest to discover if
the heart was still u action, and then found a
single drop of blc,-',j|'/Shirt front. He
opened the shirt* ana uuuoVered a puncture,
which bad evidently been produced by a small
bullet. Further examination showed that the
■weapon from which thedeaaly missile had been
hurled waa held close tojhe body, for the TWt,
in the vicinity of the builetrhole, is considerably
scorched.
The next etep was to ascertain, if. possible, at
■whose hands the deceased met his death. Search
was made in every likely and. every unlikely
place for the revolver or pistol .from which the
shot bad been fired; ,but ft could not be found.
Detectives were shmmoned to the scene, and
plied their art without -any sticcess, If the
weapon bad gone off accidentally in the hands
of the deceased, or if the latter had shot
himself it' wouldi' undoubtedly
have been found near by, and it is improbable
to suppose that, his companion, supposing
he. had had one, could h'avti picked up the pistol
and hastened away without attracting attention)
having:, as he wotud. in his escape, to descend a
flight of stairs,' ; Had Miss Bbdelson hdard any
such noise, ehq'would naturally have connected
it with the report of the pistol: The next terri
ble question Is, was he murdered ?
The body Was removed, lait evenlng.to the
houso of Mr. William Willis, No. 142 North Wells
street, at which place Coroner Wagner withhold
an Inquest.

The Tragedy in CUveland-Sxamlna*
, non el (be Woman Accused of A*oi-
' »Mnf her Biotber.
The Cleveland papers of Thursday give long
accounted the examination of Mrs. Barah W.
Victor, in that city, on'the charge of poisoning
her brother, Wm. Parquet, with arsenic, about a
year ago. The body Was exhumed one day last
week, an examination made by Prof. Cassels and
Dr. Thayer. These gentlemen fonnd large quan
tiles of white arsenic in the body—the stomach,
the spine, the liver, the .lungs, <£c„ showing the
presence or the Races of it. The body was re
markably well preserved fay the arsenic, the
lungs in particular being so perfect that they
could be inflated. The circumstances of the case
the Leader gives as follows:
On the evening of, Saturday, the 26th day of
January,.lB67, William, then living with his sis
ter Borah, was taken unwell. He complained of
suffering Considerable pain dnring the.'twd fol
lowing days. On Monday he seemed somewhat
better and walked outdaring tbeafternoon. He
returned about tea time, and remarked soon
afterward that he would go into the pantry, take
a slight lunch and go to; bed. On his way homo
he had stopped at the house of the, other slater,
Mrs. Gray; a short distance from his own
house. It appeare from the evidence of the ac
cueea before tne CurOnuirß jury, Uiat Wuu£ there
he hod taken from pocket a small pie, which
he said be had bought at a confectionery store. It
seems that , Mrs. Gray wen t home, with him, and
the pie wae, plsced in the pantry,, although
whether It first passed through Sarah’s hands
doeS not appear.*. When William went into the
pantry he ate this pie and shortly afterwards re
tired About midnight he was taken suddenly
ill, and it w«b found necessary to call a physi
cian. : He lived until the following Monday
morning, suffering from accom
panied by vomiting and purging. He died on the
night of Monday, February 4th, and was buried
on the 6 th—one year ago. yesterday.
After his death &po*t mortem examination was
proposed to the sister—now under arrest—but
she strenuously opposed it. She would not give
her consent, nnder any considerations, and the
matter was dropped for the time. A few Weeks
alter his death, Sarah received from Mr. C. C.
Carleton, die agent, the fall amount of the in
surance upon her brother's life, $2,200, and also
a small amount, the proceeds of thewilL A
difficulty arose soon after between the sisters on
.account of this unequal disposition of his pro
perty. Some four months ago Mrs. Gray went
to the Probate Judge, to ascertain regarding the
settlement of the estate. Her investigations'were
unsatisfactory, and soon after this time she openly
'charged her sister Barah with having poisoned
tbeir brother for the purpose of obtaining the in
surance. This was of course indignantly denied,
and led to an open rapture between them. As
the prisoner stated in her evidence, she refused to
acknowledge Mrs. Gray as her sister, after she
had charged her with such a terrible crime, *
About this time Sarah went to the Sheriff, and
Staled that her sister bad accused her of murder
ing her brother, and desired an investigation of
the matter, as it was being talked of among the
neighbors. More recently she has visited Prose
eating Attorney Jones, with the same request.
Since then, Sheriff Nicola,' Deputy Sheriff Ridg
way, Detective Huncle have been quietly en
gaged in working np the case, and at length
reached a point where they deemed it advisable
to arrest Barah and have the body examined.
Regarding her - name, the accused says that
several years ago she married a man named Chas.
Newton Smith, but was divorced from him soon
after. She then assumed the name of Victor for
reasons best known to herself. She stated to the
jury that that was not her name. She ’ testified
that she kept poison in the house, both arsenic
and conceive sublimate. When asked for what
purpose she kept them, she said that she pro
cured the former to’ kill rats, and the latter to
make a cosmetic Wash- She said thearsenic was
kept in a paper, under the carpet.
The investigation was continued fall six o’clock
last evening, without the evidence of the prisoner
being finished, when the jury adjourned to this
morning. The woman was taken tojailand locked
up for safe keeping. She manifests considerable
feeling! and especially when entering the jail was
mneb affected,at the disgrace of being thrust into
a cell os a felon. The case is involved in Beemtngly
inexplicable mystciy. While it is evident that a
murder was committed, it is a matter of, great
doubt whether the perpetrator of the foul crime
will ever be known.

Fxn. 7.—Geld experienced a farther advance to day
under the influence of fresh mmorsfrom Washington con
cerning the probable action of the Reconstruction Com-,
ml'tee with regard to the impeachment of the President,,,
and after opening at Ml % and, selling, at 5- below, this
point it, dvance dto 14354, and Ihe etosing transactions
pilortotheedlonrnmentof the board were ar 14214, fob
fowingwbichthe ouotatlon declined to lU®M3;,', coin
continues in •superabundant supply, and loans were
made at rates varying from three to six per cent. The
gross Clearings’ amounted to $67186.000, tho gold
Balances to #1910.650 and the currency balances to
81,882.613.- The bulla argue that the ndloala will endea
vor lo remove the President at all hazards, mad that if be
is flot actually impeached matters will be earned to the
verge of impeachment; white the bears argue that, a: in
peacfiment <M>uld produco a violent reaction In the public
mind Which would be death to the Republican party, the
radicals havo too much method In their madness to resort
to extreme meuurcs and thereby take rope enough to
bang themselves. Iny an event, however, there will be
nothing in all this-to materially affect the premium on
commercial grounds, and with.the subsidence of politi
cal excitement ft will rapidly lose the advance which
would inevitably accompany the agitation of the im
peachment scheme,which is, nevertheless, looked upon
by.financial men more in the light.of a party .ques
tion than anything else, and not One ‘calculated to
involve any morqDecrioos result than a bloodless politi
cal revolution. The statement of the public debt for
January shows, as was expected, an increase of nearly

tbe reml-flDCual interest due*t the bekiauiu* of the year
and tho redemption of tho principal of tho bonds of 1847,
m well uto the falling off in tboTevcnoe raeiot*. The
amotmt charged on on account of interest and tbe princi
pal of tbe bond* referred to was $29,ff1&200, and this,
together with tbe cun eijtanrpenditaregof .the government
made a total of from which it follow* that tbe
1 receipts irom cuetomß, Internal revenue and other re
eources aggregated about twenty-three inUllonH.
The Investment demand for Gov«»rnraent eecuntlea at
the counters of the leading dealers has been brisk, and the
advance in gold stimulated the purchases of five-twenties
for shipment Senator Sherman’s funding bill had Uttlc
or no effect npon tbe market, as prices were higher
than yesterday. In the afternoon there was very little
animation In the dealings, and in some Instances tho bids
wer%M lower than in the morning, but the market closed
steady.
The foreign exchange market weakened in consequence
of tho advance in gold and an increase in the supply of
bills drawn against shipments of five-twenties,
[From To-day’s World 3
Feu. 7.— I There was some misapprehension in tbe street
'aatothefundfng bill of the Senate Finance Committee,
the report being current that it would be compulsory on
the holders of existing bonds to convert them into the
propdi ed five per cent forty-years bonds. This Unotecr.
Tim bolder can convert or not at his pleasure, and there
is nothing in the proposed bill to lessen the market price
of existing government securities, bnt on tho contrary it
may have the tendency to advance them.
sfbe govemmentbond market was steady throughout
the day, but the demand was confined chiefly to invest*,
meat, as gome of the Large dealers were disposed to take
advantage of the rumor of a compulsory-clause in the
now pending bill in order to force prices down for fbe
purpose of buying them. Prices were about the same,
as yesterday, and nothing was effered under the highest
quotations.
Tbe f old market was strong under the influence of
clique manipulations, based upon the prospect of an lav
pesrhmentof the Pieridont, and political complications
at Washington and with Great Britain. Tbe price ranged
between Ul?£ and 142%, opening at 141?* and closing at
142>4 at 3F. M. Tbe rates paid for carrying 5,5 M, 3, and 4
per cent After the board adjourned toe quotations were
143 to 142%. Thenaeiflc and courteous language exchanged
bv the Freeldrnt and the British Minister seems to have
taken the gold operators by surprise.
The stock market was strong throughout the day, and
there was an active business in all the leading stocks.
The general tendency of the market is upwards, and its
advance is checked only by tbe muddle in Krie, which is
attributed to the operations oi the speculative director.
Erie was told at 74 at the first regular board, but after
wards was pressed down on tbe report that Mr. Drew had
sold 5,000 to 10,000 shares, calls on Erie at 76, and the
buyers of the calls had sold against them, and crowded
the market down. Afterwards Erie advanced and be
came strong, continuing so to the close. New York Cen
tral is stropg, and shews symptoms of advancing con
siderably higher. ,
[From to-day’s Tribune.,!
Senator Sherman’s funding hill is warmly approved by
brokers and bankers who see in it Urge Mumps of fat” in
the form of commissions for conversions. Apart from
thU, the remodeled bill has little merit. The right
to pay the proposed 5 per cents offin tea yean is a fatal
objection to the plsn, long ago coneeded ny all sensible
financiers. What la required 1» a bond at 5 per cent, pay
able after fifty years Into this the short 6 percents
would flow rapidly, and enough ox them
could be sold to enable the Treasury
to call in tbe old 5-2Qs of 1663 for payment or conversion
iDto the long S per cents at an early day. The proposition
.to legalise the contracts payable in goVl commends itself
'to the good sense of everybody. At present, merchants
who wish to use as money eomrthlng of recognized value
the'world over are stopped by the courts, which have
absurdly held that an irredeemable dae bill la as good as
coined gold. Tbe passage of such a law would invade no
existing contract, and would make traders more secure
in the future.
Tbe financial propositions broached at Washington
- have sfimnlated-a further-advance.in. gold, and- givem.
new activity to specalatlens in stocks. The conviction
is steadily growing that In some form or otheranew issue
of currency is to be made, or more freedom given to the
National Banking scheme, which will answer the
same purpose, so Far as abundance of money for spec
ulative purposes Is concerned. Not only does this
idea of higher prices, based upon greater abund
ance of currency, prevail in speculative
circles, but has commenced to have its effect upon
far-sighted merchants, one of whom has recently given
evidence of his faith by clearing the market of cotton
goods to an extent which has imparted new strength to
S rices, and secured to him a handsome profit. Reduc
ion in the volume of tho currency and redemption in
gold for that left outstanding »eems to have f«w Mends
inCongrcrt, while the expansion policy appears ablp to
caity any project, no matter how wild or unsafe.

over two hours. Judge Bingham and Governor
Bontweli, the, Sub-Committee, stated that they
had no report ready either .verbal or written. A
general conversation then ensued, and it was
finally agreed to add another member to the
Sub-Committee, and allow it to,take testimony,
with phwer to send for persons and papers.
James Rrooks was addedjto the Sab-Committee,in
order to allow Democratic representatibn in the
proposed examination. The Bub-Committee meet
at 2 o’clock to-day, when they will begin
labors. ' Among tho witnesses to be ex
amined, ore General Grant, tbe memhera of Mr.
Johnson’s Cabinet, including Secretary Stanton,;
J. B. Stillson, thfe Washington correspondent of
the New York World, and one or two members
of Grant’s staff. An effort will bo made by the
Committee to get Gen. Grant before them this
afternoon. He is regarded as tho most impor
tant . witness, and it is understood that
he has facts in his possession other
than those publicly stated in his letter
to the President, which, If sworn to, will impel
the Committee to report in favor of impeaching
Mr. Johnson. It may be stated on the anthorlty
of a prominent member of the Committee that a
majority of them will, proceed with great
caution in the whole matter, and should they
succeed in making. ont a good case against the
President, there ia not £he slightest doubt bnt
that he will be impeached. The Cogimlttce meet

[Special Despatch to tbs Fhlla. Evening Bulletin.]
WAHiiwqxmf, Feb. B.—lt is generally under
stood that foe President will not publish his
letter in reply to Gen. Grant’s at present. If it
doeßsee the light It will not be in the shape
originally settled upon by Mr. Johnson and hla
friends. Thofo who have seen it say that it
was extremely bitter in its tone and belligerent
-towards Gen. Grant and Congress. In view
of the action of 'the Reconstruction Com
mittee, which was unexpected by Mr.
Johnson, his friends have advised him to
withhold the. letter, from the. public.: Another
difficulty,, it is stated, is, that some of the mem
bers of the Cabinet whom the President had
counted on to indorse his state
ments about General Grant now re
fuse to dolt, alleging that Mr. Johnson has
made them too strong. It Is believed, however,
that the real cause of the refusal of the President
to publish the letter is the investigation entered
upon by the Reconstruction Committee. i
