Tuesday, march 8, 1868. THE TREATY WITH PRUSSIA. American citizens of German',birth have great reason to rejoice over .the treaty lately concluded by Mr. Bancroft and. the Cabinet of Berlin. ..It removes the chief ditficulty in the Way of their revisiting their r native land, which consisted in their liability. to military service, after: their arrival there, notwith standing their American citizenship.' Prussia and-the other German States have heretofore refttgeti to assent to the doctrine that their subjects, who have failed to serve the re quired time in the army before corn ing to America, became exempt from such service on'their return thither. Various cases have, consequently, occurred in which naturalized Germans have been arrested and- made to perform military service in the armies of their native countries. There have been volumes of correspondence upon such cases; but, while the United States Govern ment has insisted on the doctrine that a naturalized American citizen was forever re leased from all obligation to his native coun try, the German States have persistently de- taied it. It has been reserved for Mr. Bancroft and Count Bismarck to settle the question accord ing to the American doctrine, so far as Prus- Ma and the other States of the North German Confederation are concerned. On the 22d of February, an auspicious date, a treaty was sigued at Berlin, which is new on its way to !hie country for ratification, It provides, says a cable despatch front Mr. Bancroft, that "emigration shall be free, and that rutturaliza lion changes nationality." In other words, all the old restrictions upon German emi gration to America are removed, and when a German, in his oath of elle.: glance the United States, forswears sl all all e 'fume 'to foreign sovereigns, and especiall i to the sovereign of the State which he leaves, this latter clause is recognized as absolute and valid. His former sovereign can never make a claim upon him for mili tary or other service. The persistence with which this doctrine has been denied hereto fore makes it more remarkable that it should now be so readily yielded, and especially by the chief of the German powers. It is an other proof of the growing appreciation in Europe of the power and political principles of the United States of America. Coupled with the now universal admission that the Monroe doctrine, even if it be not agreeable, is forever established, it shows that the European powers have made up their minds that this Republic is no longer to be interfered with or trilled with. Our triumph over the rebels has led to both the great re sults referred to. The wisdom that presides in the govern ment of Prussia, and has made her a first class power, shows itself also in the prompt acceptance of the American doctrine on the subject of naturalization. The new treaty 'will be hailed by all German subjects, and especially by those having relatives in the United States, as a most liberal concession. The Germans of this country will have a higher respect for their Fatherland, and a more grateful recollection of it, now that they see it brought into sympathy with their adopted country. Aggrandized Prussia will be regarded also by the American Govern ment, and by its native citizens, 1113 a really friendly power, which has yielded the only point that was ever likely to create disagree ment or ill-feeling. If our other representa tives abroad do not effect treaties like the new one with Prussia, they are not fit for their • poaterMr. -- Bancroft - has; during - his short term as Minister at Berlin, done a more important work than any one of them has been able to do during years of service. THE HAI LWAT MONOPOLIES• The decision of the Supreme Court in the case of the Fifth and Sixth Streets Passenger Railway, delivered yesterday, is -a very im- portant one. Not that the question involved was a difficult or delicate one, for it is extra ordinary that such a point should ever have been taken by any corporation. Bat it is im portant because it is a judicial declaration ad verse to the idea that these monopolies own the city of Philadelphia. This idea has gained:ground very rapidly in the past few years. The impunity with which the railway companies habitually violate the city ordinances; their total disregard of the comfort and convenience o' the citizens; their persistence in maintain ing extravagant rates of fare; the ,sneaking eipedienti to Which they have recently re sorted to perpetuate the slush nuisance; these are a few of the proofs that these monopolies have ,reached a point when a reminder was seeded that they were not altogether beyond the reaeh of the laws, and that the City of 31"hiladelphia still retains some of its ancient rights of control over the streets and the veld oles that travel upon them. Tilerikadon - of the Supreme editit - , ii Maple one. It declares that these railway toispardes are subject to all proper municipal seguhitiohs, just as the omnibus lines of olden sine . 10*." and that the ordinance which jprOVldea fox the numbering of thc cars and the posting of the certificate of lieense in each car is s proper police regulation. That this should have been questioned shows plainly enough how far these cowrations have gone, in their assertion of an independence of mu nieipal authority and regulation. Now that the law has asserted itself on this point, it would be well if it could be brought to bear upon others. The city, in agreeing to the incorporation of the several railway companies, made certain stipulations to which they all formally agreed. Two 'of the most important of these have never been complied with. The first relates to the repairs of the streets, and the second to the removal of obstructions, par ticularly the obstruction of snow. Upon all portions of any "road, street, avenue or al ley," which was paved at the time the rail-, way was built, the company is required to be. "at the entire cost and expense of maintain ing,paving, repairing and repaving" the same, not the railway track alone, but the whole highway. It is the duty of the Chief Com missioner of Highways to see that this is done, the penalty being a fine of twenty five dollars per day, for fifteen days, and then the recovery by suit of the' expenses incurred by the Commissioner of Highways in making the necessary repairs. The duty of Vie railway companies to re move the snow from the streets is equally clear. This is a necessary "police regula tion." Under the present disregard of the city, ordinances, the railway companies have practically reduced the width of our princi pal streets, during the present winter, to about five feet, while the huge snow-banks on either side render the crossing of the streets, except at the corners,almost impossible. And yet the law on this subject is as explicit as words could possibly make • it. The railway companies are required to remove the snow from the streets, or else to run a sufficient number of comfortable sleighs for the accom modation of the public. The ordinance of July 7th, 1857, particularly says that this is to be done ."for the conveni ence of the public," showing that it was the intention of the authorities to preserve the rights of the people in the proper use of the public streets. 136 fore the days of street rail ways, the citizens cleared the snow from the sidewalks and threw it into the street. There it was beaten down to a uniform level, and a broad track for sleighs was thus made, and travel was not interrupted. It was provided that at least the same amount of convenience should be preserved under the railway sys tem, and as the cars could not run without clearing the tracks, it was provided, not that a narrow gullet' should be dug be tween two ranges of snow-banks, but that the snow should be removed. If the Chief Commissioner of Highways did his duty, these continued violations of law could not occur. Until he does, we see no reason whywby business men and private citizens gene rally should consent to have themselves blocked up with these unsightly and trouble some snow-banks, when they can dispose of them just as they always did in the old time, by spreading them over the entire street. If the railway track gets its share nobody will be any the worse for it. We want to see these monopolies showing some little regard for the laws and some little respect for the rights and the will of the people, and this can be done if the public once makes up its mind to compel it. GAMMON OR PLUCK? Mr. Andrew Johnson certainly cannot be a reader of Dickens, or he never would have fallen into the mistake of sending a gentle man of General Lorenzo Thomas's peculiarity of backbbne to beard the grim Stanton in his den. To Mr. Toots Mr. Dombey was as formidable an object of opposition as Mr. Stanton is to Mr. Johnson; but Mr. Toots, "spooLey" as he was, was too sharp a man of the world to go for advice to any one who would give timid counsels. Accordingly he laid the story of his love for Florence, and the opposition of the stern parental Dombey, be fore his sporting friend, the "Game Chicken,' and asked the unbiased advice of that dis tinguished pugilist; when the latter declared that the only practical way out of the dill. eulty was to "give Dombey one under the weskit and double him up !" Toots failed to act upon this hint, and Wal ter Gay bore off the fair prize, much to the distress of Mr. Toots and the disgust of the "Chicken." The following is Mr. Dickens's report of what followed : "Now master," said the Chicken, doggodl,y, when he, at length, caught Mr. Toots's oye "I want to know whether this here gammon is to finish it, or whether 3 ou're agoing in to win?" "Chicken," returned Mr. Toots, "explain your self." "Why then, here's all about it, master," said the Chicken. "I ain't a cove to chuck a word away. Here's wot It is. Are any one on 'em to be doubled up?" When the Chicken put this question he dropped his hat, made a dodge-.Nand- a-feint-with his -left hand, hit a supposed enemy a violent blow with his right, shook his head smartly, and recovered himself. "Come master," said the Chicken. "Is it to be gammon or ,pluck? Which?" "Chicken," returned Mr. Tooth, "your expres sions are coarse and your meaning is obscure." I "Why, then, tell you what, master," said the Chicken. "This is where it is. It's mean." "What is mean, Chicken?" asked Mr. Toots. "It is," said the Chicken; with a frightful cor rugation of his broken nose. "There! Now, master 1 Woti Wen you could go and blow on this here match to.the stlff'un;" by which depre— ciatory appellation it has been since supposed that the Game One intended to signify Mr. Dom bey; "and when you could knock the winner and all the kit of 'em dead out of wind and time, are you going to give in? To give in?" said the Chicken, with a contemptuous emphasis. "Wy, it's mean !" "Chicken," said Mr. Toots, severely, "you're a perfect vulture! Your sentiments are atrocious." "My sentiments Is game and fancy, master," returned the Chicken. "That's wot my senti ments is. I can't abear a meanness. I'm afore the public, I'm to be heard on at the bar of the Little Belephant, and no Gov'ner 'o mine mustn't go and,do what's mean. Wy, it's mean," said the Chicken, witb Increased expression. • "That's where it is. It's mean." • Mr. Johnson enjoys the reputation of being a shrewd politician and a keen manager; but how he could have been so blind as to send the Toots-like Thomas to contend with the ° stern Dombey of the War Office, when he had a Morrissey at his command, passes all understanding. Mr. Morrissey never would have eonsented to allow gammon to be stye n(li to - plAlck, and somebody would inevita bly have been "doubled up." Mr. Johnson has made many mistakes, but none so serious as to send the nerveless Lorenzo to contend with the "'an" of the War Department. Morrissey IN Pe IRO for the President'.

Among the cheap but beneficent, effective and practical charities of Philadelphia, none are more deserving of liberal support than the Soup Societies. These have their'soup-houses in various parts o 4 the city, fir, which, during the winter, excellent and' nutritious soup is dispensed to all who come recom mended, and a recommendation is not ne cessary for apparently deserving applicants. Some idea of the practical operation of these institutions may be derived from a short account of one bf them, and me select the oldest and most important—the Northern Soup Society, whose House is in Fourth street aboVe Brown. This society was estab lished by members of the Society of Friends, in 1817, more than fifty years ago. There were a few years when its services were not needed; but in every year when there was distress in the city, it has distributed largo amounts of soup and bread. In 1855 the amount was 116,758 quarts. In other years, since then, the amount has ranged be tween forty and one hundred thousand quarts. The operations for the current season may be stated as follows : Soup house opened Me. 18, 1867. Distributed to Feb. 27, 1868, 62 week days :10,000 quarts of soup. $4OO worth of bread. Between five and six hundred families are • upplied daily, and the issue of tickets is con stantly increasing. Although none but the best materials are used,the process of making and dispensing the soup is so perfect and so systematized,that the cost is trilling when the quantity is considered.: Whoever wants to satisfy curiosity concerning the establishment should visit it on any week day between the hours of eleven and one o'clock, when the committee in charge, who give their services gratuitously,will be glad to show and explain everything. The benefits of the Soup llouse are not confined to the winter. In the upper story is a free bathing house for women and children. Last summer no less than ten thousand baths were taken at the Northern Soup House, at no cost to the bathers. A committee of ladies has charge of this department during the • summer season. At the present time the Society distributes about twelve hundred quarts of soup per day, and bread twice a week. The expense of the materials is greater than ever before, and as the funds of the Society are limited, any donations, however moderate, will be accept able. Contributions may be sent to Charles ,T. Sutter, President, 304 Callowhill street; to T. Paorris Perot, Treasurer, 621 Market street; to Samuel T. Child, Secretary, 824 North Second street, or to any of the active members of the Society. Under the operations of tbe Philadelphia Soup Societies, there is no reason why any person in the city should starve, or even suffer from want of nutritious and excellent toed. No other city in America has such provision for its poor, and it is to the credit of the city that each Society should be libe rally supported. We have given the location of the Northern Soup Society. The others axe as follows: Philadelphia Society, Grissom street (late Green's Court) above Pine and between Fourth and Fifth; Western Society, 1615 South street; Moyamensin,g Society, corner of Eighth and Marriott streets, below Christian; Southwark Society, Sutherland below Queen street, east of Second; Spring Garden Society, Buttonwood below Broad; Kensington Society, 208 Allen street, and Central Society, North street below Sixth. A FRA,GPIENTARY CONGRESS. For all purposes of "honor and emolument" politicians of the Woodward-Randall school are practically satisfied with the constitu tion of the Fortieth Congress. But for the purposes of incendiary harangues and par tisan subserviency, they are fond of denounc ing the body of which they are a part as a fragmentary and illegal thing, having no con stitutional rights and powers. Yesterday these immaculate Democrats got up a tre mendous protest, with an amount of solem nity crammed into it which is almost over whelming, in which they bitterly regret that, being in the minority, they were not allowed the blessed privilege of filibustering. This protest sets forth with the de claration that its signers "represent, directly or in principle, more than one-half of all the people of the United States." ; This is a most important admission, for if these forty-odd Democrats represent more than one-half of the people, surely the one hundred and forty three Republicans may claim to represent the "rest of mankind" in/these United States. Adding to this repreSentation the constitu ency of Fernando Wood and John Morrissey, who were too ex . cluiive to join:in the com mon protest, and it amounts to a demonstra tion that the Fortieth Congress, so far from being a "a fragmentary" body, is a little more than perfect, and would require the removal of a few Democrats to tone it down to an exact whole. The protest certainly settles the Woodward-Randall doctrine effectually. P. T. Barnum has such an extraordinary facility for being burned out that it has been suggested that his name should be spelled Burnem. His museum at Seventh and Chest nut streets in this city was totally destroyed by tire in the winter of 1851-52; Iranistan, his semi-barbaric seat at Bridgeport, fell a prey to the flames at a later date; still later his museum at Broadway and Ann street was burned out root and branch; and this morn ing his show establishment farther up Broad way was totally destroyed by fire, involving veryleari.loss. Barnum has a cat-like &- dilly for always et:ming - down upon liirfeet, and ruinous conflagrations do not seem to in terfere in the least with his progress in the way of accumulating greenbacks. riOWNlNG' i ti vo Akt rare.

The Courrier de Tlemcen, in Algeria, of the 31st of January, says:—The robberies and arrests for depredations on property have increased daring the last week. The mortality has been very great among the Arabs. Twenty corpses have been picked up in the town and environs. Until now the famine had spared the natives residing here, but at present more than a hundred fami lies are in the most frightful destitution from want of employment. The administration, the commune and the colonists are doing their ut most to aid them, but in vain. Those unfortu nate people are doomed to a certain death. The Algerian journals just to hand in Paris give some particulars of a violent tempest which lately broke over Phillippsville, and continued for nearly a week. Violent squalls accom ranted by hail and rain, succeeded each other ineessanily, and the thunder rolled! as In summer storms. The sea, under the influence of the wind, became terrible. The Bran rats, a French brig, broke from her moor ings in the roadstead of Store and was dashed to pieces on the shore.

THE IMPEACHMENT ARTICLES, Their PresentatiOn to the Senate, Dispute as to ✓ the Time. POST OFFICE APPROPRIATION Presenting Irupeachnient Articles to the heiutte. (Opecial Deerptitch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.) WASIII3I4;TON, March 3.—lt was expected that the managers on the part of the House would present the articles of impeachment to the Senate to-day, consequently the galleries of the Senate chamber were entirely filled at an early berm The managers selected by the Housemet this morning at 11 o'clock, and it was decided not to present the articles to the Senate until to-morrow. Many members of the Committee favor adding one or more additional articles,based upon the acts of the President previous to the Stanton affair, but this Is seriously and strenuously opposed by'the other members of the Committee. The Indications are that the Committee will aemain in session during most of to-day, in consequence of the action of a portion of the Committee. Gen. Butler insists that the article proposed by him shall be added, and In this he is supported by Messrs. Logan and Stevens. It Is understood that Gov.l3outwell Is opposed to, changing the articles as they now stand, but urges upon the Committee the necessity of not delaying their presentation, and thinks it will show signs of weakness to bring in additional articles for the House to act upon. It is evident that the But-, ler men on the Committee will make a vigorous fight, but that they will be defeated is equally ev ident. The Senate remained in session to a very late hour last night, in order to finish the rules, in anticipation that the articles' would be pre sented to them to-day. Any unnecessary delay in so reporting them must result Injuriously to im peachment, and hence it is believed that sufficient pressure will be brought to bear upon the mana gers to have them report certainly to-morrow. At the meeting of the managers to-day Judge Bingham was s•dceted as Chairman. The rac rd le Case. [Special Derpatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.) Wit: , .orso•ros, March 3.

At one o'clock, the Clerk appeared in the Son ate and announced that the House had appointed seven managers who would appear on the part of that body to prosecute the articles of impeachment. The Clerk at the same time presented to - the - Senate - the - Articles of Im peachment found In the House. The Senate was considering the Bounty bill at the time.

At half-past one o'clock the Secretary of the Senate presented to the House a resolution from the Senate, stating that the Senate was ready to proceed to the trial of Andrew Johnson, Presi dent of the United States, upon the articles re ported and passed by the House. The Commit tee of Managers of the House to conduct the Im peachment were in session three hours, and agreed to report•to the House to-day additional articles of impeachment. One is substantially the Butler article, voted down yesterday. The second article is being drawn up by Judge Bingham, charging. the President, in August, 1866, in Washington city, in a public speech, with denouncing Congress as an 'unconstitutional and illegal body, hanging upon the verge of the Government," as a "rump Congress" and other opprobrious epithets, intended to bring Congress into disrespect and disgrace. As soon as Judge Bingham finishes his article the managers will present both to the House. Messrs. Wilson and Binwham favor the last article, but bitterly op pose Butler's.

Judge Bingham to Report a New Article The Senate Announoes Its Readiness. THE WALRUSSI A. PURCHASE. Doubts of ' its Being Effected. The Purchase of ,I,Valrussisi. [Special Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening Ballotln.] WAsHINGToN, March 3. , The Committee on Foreign Affttirs met to-day, and it was expected that they would proceed to the consideration of the Walrussian purchase, but the matter was postponed until the meet ing on Thursday next. This subject is likely to cause lenethy discussion in the Committee While there has'been no formal interehange of opinions between the members, there is every prospect that the Committee will not make a favorable re port to the House, but recommend that no appropriation be made for the purchase of this territory. The members who have canvassed the House say that an,appropriation to pay for Walrussis cannot possibly get through. Much will depend, however, upon the report of the committee, and nothing can be definitely stated until their action on the subject is known. A number of Radical members of Congress leave here to-day for New Hampshire, to devote this week to assisting in closing the canvass in that State.' Advices from there give Republicans much encouragement here, and it is believed that the Itaditals will carry the State by an increased majority. In the House to-day Mr. Eldridge unsuccess fully endeavored to have the protest of the Demo crats against the articles of impeachment read at the Clerk's desk. in order to get them into the Cong'resserynal Globe.

The day was again consumed in an unsuccessful effort to impannel a jury, the great:object being to get a mixed jury. Eighteen aliens were subpmnaed, and three of them being militia men, were re jected. After further efforts to secure a:jury,Uate in the afternoon the trial was finally adjourned. Previously, however, a motion of Mr. Hersh,' counsel for the def, nce, to remove the trial to the Court of Queen's Bench, was again made and argued. The . Court, under the circumstances, granted the motion. The result of this decision will be to transfer the trial to another piano, where a mixed jury will probably he obtained with less difficulty. • VITY BULLETIN. HEAVY DIAMOND.ROBBERY CALDWELL'S NEW STORE ROBBED ARREST OF ONE OF THE THIEVES 525 3 000 Still Missing A daring robbery was committed this afternoon at the new store of James E. Caldwell & Co., 902 Chestnut street. • Two men entered the store, and during the momentary absence of the attendant from the diamond case near the front door, contrived to abstract two trays containing a large number of diamond rings and clusters, and escaped without notice or detection. The robbery was first detected by some of the customers finding several rings on the floor, near the - door. The alarm was at once given and the police notified of the fact. By great good fortune, Officer Henderson, of the 'Reserve force, captured one of the thieves in the restaurant of the Continental Hotel, and at once took him to Caldwell Co's. store. Upon searching him, about forty diamond clusters and rings were found on his person, constituting the contents of one of the stolen trays. He was taken.to the Central Station, and bad a hearing before Alderman Heftier. He gave the name cf Martin Bailey, trunk-maker, Lake street, Chicago. He says that be came to Philadelphia five days ago, In search of work. He is registered at the Continental Hotel. He is not known to the police of this city. After the preliminary bearing, Bailey was com mitted in default of $7,000 bail to appear on Saturday. His accomplice is yet at large. The value of the diamonds, which are principally fine solitaire stones, is about $25,000. It Is to be hoped that the vigilance of the police may result in the re covery of the stolen goods. The robbery and arrest of Bailey produced much excitement, and the lose of so large an amount is felt to be a severe damper upon the satisfaction - which the firm and customers feel in the opening of the new and splendid establish ment, which is just now attracting so much at tention. CLEARING THE CITY RAILWAY TRACKS.—The non necessity for using salt on the city railway tracks, and the value of the new snow plough employed on the Thirteenth and'Fifteenth Streets Railway,were fully tested during the heavy storm on Sunday night. The snow was not only of unusual depth, but was covered with a hard crust of ice. The first oc the two ploughs put in use on this road made its first trip, after the storm. on Monday, at 2 o'clock A. M. In less than two hours it made the round trip, six and a quarter miles, removing. snow drifts in many places that were over 18 Inches in depth. The cars commenced their trips at the regular hour in the morning, and have continued to run, l without interruption, since that time. This road was the only one in the city which ran with single teams yesterday. In New York, Chicago, and other cities, the city railway cars stopped running altogether during this storm, which has been the heaviest known for some time. It is now clearly demonstrated that the tracks of the city railways can be kept clear without recourse to,the salt nuisance, and it is only necessary to use the proper means and appliances, and the thing is accomplished. Mrs. Kew ble In New York. Sp6king of Mrs. Kemble's first reading in New York last night, the 1 lerak? says: "All who were near enough to hear well throughout the reading were transported, as if by magic, to Rome, to Corioli, to Actium. A single voice milked to reproduce the confused shouts of the Roman rabble, the haughtiness and rage and desperation of the brave Coriolanus, the proud love of his mother, Vulumnia, the tender love of his wife Virgilia, the heal .? affec tion of his old friend Menenius 1 uTippa, and even the boyish accents of his son arci us, as well as the hate, the welcomes awl the treachery of his Volscian foe, Titus Anfiditts, and the cunning malevolence of the tribunei of the people, and the talk of Roman and Voiscian senators, patricians generals, and all the other dramatis persolue of the tragedy. The scenes and characters of the tragedy were vividly brought before us, not as if enacted on a stage, with all its accessories, but as if in reality. The magnificent third scene of act five, in which, in mourning habits,Virgilia,Volumnia, the young Marcius wad 'Valeria kneel, before Coriolanus, on their errand of intercessio in be half of Rome, was most powerfully rendered. The moving appeal of Volnmnia elicited a storm of applause. Throughout the entire evening Mrs. Kemble's reading was frequently interrupted by applause. The "Midsummer Night's Dream" will be read this evening, "The Tempest" to morrow evening, and "King , I,ear, on Saturday,_ morning. =No student of Shaltspearnshould these precious opportunities of listening to his greatest living interpreter." A Swindle Anticipated. The following letter,from General Wool, is in answer to one from ather Beeson, suggested by a bill recently presented in the House of Repre sentatives for the payment of the Oregon Indian War claims of 1854-.): Dear Sir:—Yopr favor of the 23d inst. I re ceived this morning relative to the Oregon claims for Indian outrages. The Oregonians have no just claims for outrages committed by Indians. They have already, received from the United States Government five times as much as they were entitled to for outrages which they committed upon the Indians, and which were the cause of the war.
