NEW PITBIAICATIONS.
Messrs. 'Hurd A: Houghton have published
anew book of European sketches,' by Mr.
Howard Payson Arnold, author of "Euro
pean Mosaic." It is called "The Great Ex
hibition; with Continental Sketches, Prac
tical and. Humorous." Studiously avoiding
all the hackneyed common-places of Mur
ray's and Harper's Handbooks, Mr. Arnold
eontrives to, make a very pleasant book
about Europe, and one that can be read with
pleasure by the traveled as well as
the 'untraveled. The Great Exhibition
Las little more to do with the
book than to serve as a text, from which the
writer wanders as widely and as freely as a
country clergyman wanders from his. There
is a good deal about Paris, and a good deal
about Switzerland, and Savoy and Piedmont.
Mr. Arnold is one of the few Americans that
have ascended 3lont Blanc and been able to
write about it. His description'of his sensa
tions and the scene on reaching the summit
affords ,a sufficiently good example of his
style. He says :
The crown of Mont Blanc is a gigantic
dome of ice called La Calotte, and our last
and most fatiguing pull was over its slope to
the summit. Fortunately for us, it was
largely covered with snow, mid not many
steps were needed to insure our safety. it
was intensely cold, and a bitter, stinging
Mast swept relentlessly over and seemingly
through us. With ever increasing lassitude
we slowly drew ourselves forward. It was
net without apprehension that I passed near
the spot where, thirteen days before, Mr.
Bulkley Young had made the, fatal' misstep
that caused his death. Since that time till
now, no one had succeeded in reaching the
top, though two attempts had been made.
31 WO been the solitary abode of clouds, and
storm, and darkness, and the winds of heaven
had, mournfully sung the requiem of the
parted spirit. At ten o'clock I stood upon
the final crest; and the rich reward of my ex
ertions lay outspread before me. Surely the
world cannot show a more magnificent pros
pect than this. The sky was cloudless, and
the view in every direction seemed almost
unlimited. All Switzerland lay like a map
at my feet. I could look down upon her
highest mountains. Monte Rosa, the Breit
hOrn, the l'ilischabelhorner, the Jungfrau, the
Matterhorn, the Finster-A'arhorn, and the
other resplendent peaks of the Bernese Ober
land,—l predominated over them all. Deeply
framed among them were the myriad waters
of this glorious country, the lakes of Geneva
and Lucerne, of Thun and Wallenstadt, and a
thousand others. Towards the south the eye
ranged over Italy, from the Gulf of Genoa
and the dark blue of the Mediterranean, to the
green meadows and fertile plains of Lom
bardy and the Lago Maggiore. To the west
extended the vine-clad fields and valleys of
France; while towards the north and east I
could see, far beyond the thickly clustering
mountains,. the hills of Baden and the gloomy
drapery of the Black Forest. At my feet the
stupendous masses of snow steeply descended
to the valley of Chamonix, while to the right
lay the village of La. Saxe on the Italian side.
it seemed' almost exactly beneath us, so
abrupt are the southern bluffs of the moun
tain. -As the landmarks of this vast pano
rama gradually unfolded themselves to our
minds and we could comprehend it in all its
scope, it was impossible to avoid a feeling of
exultation that our ascent had been thus-tri
uinphantly successful, and had secured us an
intellectual delight which few are permitted
to enjoy.
As we placed our feet on the loftiest ridge,
we heard faintly the thunder of the cannon
with which they are accustomed at Chamonix
to announce the safe arrival of those who
reach the top. In the distance I could see
the stragglers painfully toiling on, in the hope
of one day arriving at their destination. A
dim speck denoted the Frenchman, still
clinging to his light-colored kids and black
hat. Why his hands were not frozen stiff, I
could never understand. A guide was pull
ing him before and another pushed behind.
Ha pangs were evidently unutterable, but he
still kept en route as if, like the Wandering
Jew, he was fated to go incessantly forward.
A little nearer was the Englishman with his
team of bipeds, who certainly earned their
wages on this occasion, if any men ever did.
He was pluckily swaying to and fro in his ef
forts to scale the peak in time to climb his
other two peaks before sunset On a rock at
the base of the dome was my porter, evi
dently regarding himself safer and more at
his ease where he was than farther up.
There was no romance to him, poor fellow,
in the ascent of' Mont Blanc! Considering
the amount of brag with which the rest of the
party had started, this portion of the view was
-to me but little less attractive than the other
features.
In a short time the Arctic cold and the
piercing wind made our situation extremely
uncomfortable. The bleak air seemed to
whistle through our very bones. No clothing
could keep it out. In twenty minutes we
prepared to descend, first, however, drinking
the health of the glorious old potentate in
a bottle of champagne which my attendant
bad brought up. Our throats were parched;
and we could swallow but a few mouthfuls
of solid food, and that with difficulty. The
distressing effects that are often said to fol
low from a visit to the top of Mont Blanc,
did not attend upon either my Companion or
myself. There was no bleeding at the nose
or mouth, and no trouble in hearing anything
that was said;: though -Dr. Pitsehner, 'who -•
went up in 1859, states that he could not un
derstand a word from his guide, when fifteen'
paces off. I could nistinguish the voices of
my companion and' cicerone apparently as
clearly as when on lower ground. Even our
breathing was unobstructed, while we re
mained quiet and made no exertion.
Among the pleasantest chapters of this
very pleasant book, those called "A Yan
kee all Abroad" and "Mischianza di Nina,"
are especially amusing. But our readers will
be more interested in the following extract,
taken from a long chapter chiefly relating to
Gustave Dore, the great French designer.
After a clever account of him and of his
wnrks,lllr.Arnold describes his mode of work
ing as llows: ^
Haying watched him in the act of pre
paring one of his designs, I can testify to the
boldness and rapidity with which these are
done, and the entire want of any artifice.
Often he takes a prepared block of the size of
the intended sketch, and with a little Lid%
ink and white paint, or "gouache" at once
completes it for the engravers without any,,.
intermediate use of the pencil. While he is
doles this his absorption is perfect, and his
motions extremely quick. The image is al
ready 'before him and, like Michel Angelo,
-- s he labors with- fiery energy to 'fix it. The,
nervous touch of genius thrills along his arm,
anti infuses its most delicate and evanescent
behests into his fingers. I saw a landscape
• just finished - in this impetuous way, arid Wm
quired only three hours to complete it. And
yet .there it was, a perfect transcript of
14attre,reMising in impreseive truth - upon
whatbnt so short time before was a simple
blocktif box-wood. It represented a forest,
with the mild glow of evening lingering in
the background - , and gilding with the purity
+Alta light the rtig:ge4 i holes of the.-trees.
Each trunklytti an individual existence, and
bad taken its , own peculiar features from the
soil, which, covered with new-fallen and
feathery snow, lay beneath it. In front was
an open space, with one tree prostrate, upon
which sat a solitary figure, "remote, inacces
sible friendless, alone." It needed no de
scription to show the meaning of this scene;
no poetry could elevate it or deepen its im
pressiveness. There sat the unhappy wan
derer; his misery plainly speaking from a few
dexterous touches that alone formed his fea
tures, and in my mind there he will ever re
main.
The lines in this picture are broad and free,
and given with an energy and boldness that
prove how distinct must have been the con
ception in the artist's brain. And yet the ef
fects produced seem almost miraculous. Ex
amined closely they are mere blotches, while
at a distance they blend into the very truth of
Nature. His works are thus difficult to en
grave with success, and Messrs. Hachette A:,
Co. employ upon them only their best work
men. But these are true artists in their way,
and have a nice perception of the beauties of
the designs, and the consequent care and
skill required of them. Long experience has
greatly added to their capacities in this re
gatd, and now no engravers can be found to
equal them. It is owing to this talent of theirs
and their sympathy with the designer, that
the public are so fortunate as to be able to
enjoy the works of Dorili in such perfection.
I have neither space nor time for an elabo
rate critique upon the extraordinary genius of
Gustave Dori:, but will simply devote a few
lines to a production that 1 saw a_ few days
ago at his studio, and which I think is un
known to the public. It is a scene from
the Russian Campaign, and gives one a
most vivid and heart-rending idea of its hor
rors. What these were I have been told by
those who shared them, in addition to the ac
counts in print, which are, for the most part,
not exaggerated. To these descriptions this
sketch lends an additional element of horror,
and brings before the mind, with a shudder
ing dread, those events which the progress of
beneficent time has already done much to
wards covering with the veil of the past. A
broad waste of uneven country lies covered
with snow as far as the eye can reach, and
its dead desolation is increased by a leaden,
sunless sky. Far away in the long perspec
tive appear the retreating hosts, gradually di
minishing to the faintest specks on the edge
of the horizon, and looking like the funeral
procession of mighty, though thwarted ambi
tion. Above them, in irregular squadrons,
are seen myriads of carrion crows and vul
tures, with heavy and remorseless flight ever
accompanying the invaders, and awaiting,
like fated avengers, , the banquet of death.
In the foreground are the wrecks of battle,
partly concealed by snow; cannons, muskets,
gun-carriages, and an ambulance full of the
once wounded, but now dead soldiers, frozen
stark and stiff. Heaped together in' every
phase of starvation, despair and dying strug
gles, their conveyance seems a movable tomb.
To the right is another wagon, without a'
covering, in which a few wretches, with de
spair in their faces, are fighting against a
group of Cossacks for the faint remnants of
life that are left them. The three horses are
gaunt and bony skeletons. One has already
fallen; another, with upturned head, opened
mouth, and a loud neigh of torture, is just re
ceiving in his side a Cossack spear; the third,
trembling with weakness and fright, can
hardly remain erect. The attitudes and ex
pression of the victims thus hopelessly de
fending themselves to the last, are wonderful
examples of the 'artist's skill in delineating
what his unlimited imagination has so graphi
cally conceived. Wounded, his head bound
in rage, an officer barely protects himself
with his sword. Others are using their pis
tols, and again others, their countenances
clouded with the shadow of death, and too
weak to raise an arm, have thrown them
selves back to die. The impression left upon
the mind by a work like this is almost fearful.
It presents for a perpetual remembrance and
in one group, the tragic woes of a lifetime,
and the united agonies of a whole war. Upon
it no one can look without a deep,yet strangely
fascinating horror, and it should have some
influence, even here in Paris, towards cloud
ing those dreams of military glory whi,3ll are
ever the great weakness of the French. But
it will not, nor would a million such pictures
hung up at every street corner. To-morrow,
ii necessary, they would gladly embark upon
a new Russia or a new Mexico, and trust to
fortune and their swords for the result.
From this passage it will be seen that Mr.
Arnold is a lover and a judge of art. His
sympathy in this direction is shown in the
fact that he dedicates his new book to Mrs.
Elizabeth Murray, of Boston, an artist whose
paintings in water-colors are less known in
this country than in England, where they
find a ready sale at prices that American
connoisseurs rarely think of giving, unless for
a great flaring subject in oil. It is not pos
sible to point out, in a newspaper article, all
the qualities of a book. But it can honestly
be said that Mr. Arnold's last one is clever,
entertaining, instructive, and that he makes
even old and familiar subjects appear fresh.
Charles Kean. '
[From the Continental Paris Gazette.] "
Some forty years ago, it wag our fortune
(and not a very good one), to be placed as a
schoolboy in a well-known educational town
in the north of England. Whilst there, it
was announced that Charles Kean, son of the
"great Kean," and who had been "starring" it
•(with indifferent success) in that remote part
of the country, was to make his appearance at
in the character of Norval, in Home's
tragedy of "Douglas." Great was the excite
ment created by the intelligence amongst us,
youngsters. Most of us had learnt to
recite by heart, "My name is Norval,"
&c.; and to hear what we knew
ourselves proceed from the lips of
a "real" actor on the stage, appeared to be
the height of juvenile felicity. Besides, we
were great people in our own small way at
the play-house, where we had our own "be
spe3k" once a year, which, thanks to our pat
ronising friends and acquaintances hi the
town and neighborhood, and the satin play
bills which we were wont to have printed and
profusely distributed on such occasions;
brought the manager almost the onlymit•
house of the season. Of course, the desire .to
see and hear Kean, even "Kean the little,"
was excessive; and such of us as could muster
pocket-money enough for the purpose,at that
advanced period of the half-year, received
permission to Attend. How well
_we _ re
-nidnberenterhiglhe dark, dingy, miserable
cock-pit of a place which served for a theatre
at D—. A dozen candles dimly lighted up
what was called by courtesy the dress-circle,
in which sat two or three old retired dowagers
in ponderous turbans,• who went to the play
every night, partly out of ennui, partly to
keep up their character in - the - town-as-"peo
pie who had seen the world" and were accus
tomed to dissipation. There were hardly,
however, a dozen persons, present altogether
• =about 'one to each candle ofthose, at
least, who ranked themselves among the
Upper Ten Thousand ; for "young •Kean"
was then wholly unknown to fame, and
the only inducement to go to see him at all
was that he bore the name of his grew,
. father. . -
Well, the two or three Addles , and the flute
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, NIARCII 4,1868.
which: formed the orchestra, scraped and
whistled through their allotted' ten Minutes;
the curtain drew up (after &failure, of course,
in the first attempt), and,. in duo time,Kean
(it was all the same which of the two father
or son, to our youthful imaginations) made
his entry. The thin, awkWard, gasvirj , figure
of a mere lad still rises to our eyes as we re
call the moment; and through, the long lapse
of years we seem faintly able to discern
traces of the well-known fhatures Of later
times. In a style which we then thought
admirable, he spouted Home's stilted verses,
and, as far as we schoolboys were concerned,
might have achieved any amount of success.
But both acting and declamation were too lame
and raw even for "dowagers who had seen
the world"; and the poor young man was
made to feel painfully, long before the con
clusion of the piece, that even for such a
stage and such an audience he was deemed
all insufficient. The curtain fell (it was the
only movement it could perform successfully)
without a hand being Jilted either to applaud
his going or to call him back; and the audi
ence, such as it was, broke up with a mut
tered complaint that the performance was not
worth even the half-crowns, shillings, and
sixpences which they had been induced to
pay for it.
Such was our first meeting with Charles
Kean.
Thenext time we had the pleasure of cross
ing his path was at a dinner at r London
Club. He was playing—for Bunn, it we
recollect rightly—at 'Covent-Garden, at a
salary of .1:50 per night, paid, as ho told us in
,the course of the evening, in advance.
How prosperous had been his career in the
interval we shall leave to another pen than
ours to tell on a future occasion. But the
contrast between our own first and second
meeting with him was too tempting at once
and too complimentary to his talent, his in
dustry, and success for us to forebear re
calling and pointing it out to him. We will
give his reply, and the story he told of the
incidents we have above enumerated, as
nearly as we can remember in his own
words:—
"Ab!" said Kean to us, when we spoke to
him of Young Norval and the scene at D---,
"were you really there? How well I remem
ber that night. But you, who only saw me
on the stage, and knew only what passed in
public, knew only half what I went through.
I bad been playing about the country at dif
ferent places, everywhere with the same
success, or rather, the want of it, when
I at last arrivedi one evening. at Rushy.
Ford, the last stage before D--, where
I was to play next .night, and where
you saw me. I was wretchedly poor; but
I always traveled post, and had a servant
with me—an appendage which I fancied
was due to my position in society as an
Etonian' and gentleman. But I had quar
relled with - my father, or, rather, he with
me, because I refused to remain at Eton,
And insisted upon going on to the stage.
We got to the Post-house late at might. I
told my servant, who was one of the 'con
fidential' kind, that we were too hard-up to
afford supper, and that we must start very
early next.morning in, order to allow of no
pretence for breakfast. Iliad not, in fact, a
shilling left in my pocket, and relied upon an
advance on my next night's performance
for payment of the chaise and post-boy when
we should get to D—.
"Next morning we started early, 'before
breakfast!' At the end of the stage, when
the post-boy asked what Inn, I bade him
drive at once to the theatre. On alighting
(the entrance was up a dark narrow passage,
as though. leading to a cellar,) I requested to
speak a word with the manager, and,
making knoivn my 'accidental' shortness of
funds, asked for a small advance.
" 'Very sorry indeed, Mr. Kean,' was the
reply, 'very sorry indeed; but really we are
very short too. Some little preparations for
your appearance (six extra candles, &,c.)
with other little matters, have quite exhausted
us; we hope to be in better funds to-night,'
&c.
"The situation was embarrassing ; when
suddenly the manager suggested :
"'But you know Mr. Harley, sir, doubt
less—your father's old friend, Mr. Harley
(the well-known comedian)?Mr. Harley's
here: you'll find him at the Queen's Head.'
"011'1 set to the Queen's Head; found Har
ley, who shook me heartily by the hand,
and was glad to see me. As we were still
talking together, the post-boy, growing im
patient (or suspicious), followed me into the
room, and stood twirling his hat in his hand
and tapping his boots with his whip. I could
not for the life of me bring out the Words I
wanted to say. At last Harley, noticing the
fellow, asked—
"'But, Kean, why don't you dismiss your
post-boy?'
" 'That's just,' I blurted out, 'what I can't
do without you; I haven't got a shilling in
my pocket!'
"'My dear fellow,' said Harley, 'why didn't
you say so at once?' And with great kindness
he ()tiered me his purse.
"In the evening, as you know, I made my
appearance, with the same want of success
as usual. I slunk back to the inn, after the
play was over with a miserable sense of fail
ure.
"But my mother was to meet me that
same night at D—; and, returning from
the theatre, I found her arrived and waiting
for me;
" 'Well, Charley,' were her first words,
`what success?'
"I tried hard, on her account, to put a
good face on the matter, and look as though
satisfied with my reception. But it was no
use ; she , saw through the attempt at once,
and knew that I -had only made another
failure. Indeed, I fairly broke down
at last and burst into tears; when, throwing
her arms round my neck and kissing me, she
said—
"'Never mind, Charley, dear ; though
the whole world forsake you, your old
mother will never forsake you, nor think ill
of you.'
"'Such," said Kean, "was the episode
which you would have witnessed when I
played Norval at D—, if you could have
been behind the scenes as well as before
them:
How long and gallant a struggle, crowned
at last by what brilliant success, followed
after distress and discomfiture like the above,
is well known. We know, too, how noble
-and tender, to the end-of her days, was the
conduct of Kean to that mother who so
loved and encouraged him, and who lived,
happily, to witness the full climax of his
fame. As an actor Charles Kean never, in
our opinion, approached Edmund Kean in
the higher qualities of his art. In
Sir Giles - aithi-eacii and 21.Thhard ILL,
in the first especially, Kean the elder was un:-
approachable. We saw him the last time he
ever appeared, either in that character or on
the stage. He was then reconciled to his
son, who played lago to ` MM. When
both came together upon the stage, there was
-much - applause; and_the - father, with 130018
show at least of feeling, took his son by the
hand, and, leading him to the • footlights, pre
sented him to the audience, as,thoughto_ask
iti,Voi and frid ileericei - Cif him. He himself
could barely totter,through his part; and just
as he pronounced the words, "Othello's occu
pation 's gone," with something of his old ex
quisite pathos—whether the expression really
affected him, or his last remains of strength
happened to fail at the moment,' we do not
pretend to say, but he broke down ; fell into
his son's arms, .was carried MT the stage, and, ,
after lingering a few 'days: at Richmond,
breathed his last.
Alteration of Coin.
,
The followlug bill•was introduced in the Senate
yesterday, by Mr. Frelinghnysen, of New Jersey,
and referred to the Committee on Finance:
l'/,Freda, The amount of pure gold hi the Eng
lish pound sterling,in the half-eagle of the United
States, and of the twenty-five franc piece of
France, according to the regulation of the gold
coinage of the eaid several countries,is very nearly
the same,and great International and commercial
convenience would be subserved.. by making 'the •
same precisely equal; and,
Whereas, l i ke English pound_ sterling,Presents
the moot convenient basis for such equality;
therefore,
Resolved, That the amount of pure gold in a
halt eagle, or er, piece, shall hereafter be 113
grains, troy weight, to correspond with the
amount; or pure gold contained in the English
sovereign or pound sterling, and all other gold
coins of the United States shall contain pure gold
in like proportion, namely, at the rate of twenty
two grains and elx-tenths of a grain of pure gold
to tbo dollar, and all other gold coins of known
standard of fineness, current in the United
States, by the laws thereof, shall pass and be
received at the same rate, according to the
amount of pure gold therein contained; and
henceforth, in all accounts and transactions In
which the Government of the United States Is
concerned. and in which the value of a pound
sterling is involved, the same shall be taken and
estimated at five dollars. And. In order to dis
courage the fictitious par of exchange of 4 44,
or four dollars and four-ninths of a dollar to the
pound sterling, which has heretofore been used
among merchants,
Be it further enacted, That after the first day
of January next an additional tax of one-tenth
per cent. be imposed upon all transactions of
exchange, or of a commercial nature, in which
such fictitious par of exchange than five dollars
to the pound sterling, shall be used, to be re
turned, levied and collected in the same manner
as other internal taxes and duties are or shall
be by law directed to be returned, levied and
collected.
Bights of American Citizens in Mexico
The following is the copy of a letter which has
been forwarded us from Mexico, with the request
of Its publication in the Herat/. It is but one of
the many of like character addressed to our Con-:
sular agent at Mazatlan :
PREEllito, Jan. !2, 1868.—M. si.q. go n, rr
eittl Agent United Slat.;, ilizzatifin.—Sin: The
undermentioned citizens of the United States,
residing in the vicinity of the Presidio, would re
spectfully call your attention to the circumstance
that there is a camp of soldiers among us whose
headquarters is at the village Uracca, within half
a mile of the Presidio. They are said to lie under
the control of General Martinez. We are under
continual i apprehension front them day and
night,as within the last two weeks we have been
attacked by squads of them, on the road
and in our houses, both by day and
night, with arms in their hands in a threaten
ing manner, demanding our• saddles, arms,
Sze., sonic of which they have carried away. We
therefore respectfully request you, as representa
tive of the Lnited States, to make known to the
proper authorities in'Mazatlan our situation, and
remind them that we are United States citizens
and under your protection as representative of
the United States, and the more so at the present
time when there appears to be no settled govern
ment in this State, and to request of the Mexican
authorities in Mazatlan that we may be protected
in the future from such attacks. At present we
consider ourselves entirely unsafe.

Wm. Thompson, Gus Thompson, Goldner, An
derson and otherg.
In compliance with the request of the peti
tioners, Mr. Sisson called upon the proper autho
rities, who replied they would immediately take
steps to abate the grievances. In the meantime
we are credibly informed that horses, saddles,
firearms and other property of American citizens
continue at the mercy of roving bands of sol
diery. It is high time that the Government of the
United States should look atter the interests of
its citizens in Mexico. The.-friendship we hold
towards that republic. should not he maintained
at the cost and sacrifice of the life and property
of American citizens residing there. If the
Mexican government is not able to maintain law
and order within it‘ domains the United States
should generously offer and insist upon its ser
vices until such times es the rights and liberties
of American and Mexican citizens could be pro
tected by the Mexican government. —N. Y.

Severe Weather in the Indian Country.
Information has been received from the Indian
country in Upper Dakota, on the Missouri river.
The winter has been the hardest for many years.
Thirty soldiers, together with a number of Yank
toad's Sioux Indians, are reported to have been
frozen to death recently on the road between
Fort Sully and Fort Rice. ()wing to the ecru
deep snows, the Indians have been prevente d from engaging in their usual winter hunts, and
the consequence is that many of them are in a
starving condition, and are eating their horses.
The same reports come from the Red River coun
try and Upper Minnesota. Special Agent Joseph
13rown,of the Indian Department, recently lost his
whole train of mules and wagons while traveling
from Fort Abercrombie, Minnesota, to Devil's
Lake, in Dakota, and with much difficulty saved
his own life.

Its uniform character and PeWer te cure the varioua af- •

reliable protector against them. While adapted to milder
forms of disease and to young children, it is at the same
time the most effectual remedy that can be given for in.
cipient consumption, and the dangerous affections of the
throat and lungs. As a provision agoinat sudden attacks
of Crimp, it should be kept en hand ill every family, and
Indeed as all am sometimes eubject to cello and coughs.
all should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although ecttled Ceneumplion Is thought incurablq

Brune hilvt is generally cured Ly taking the Cherry Bac

TEN DEMOCRATIC PROTEST.
The Home resume/Mho consideration of the motion
of Mr. Emmnx;z. pending at the adjournment yes
terday, to suspend the rules, so that be might have
read and placed on the journal the prote,st of the Dem
ocratic members, as published in yesterday's proceed
ings. Mr. Eldridge said that if the Rouse would per.
mit the communication to be reed, he would not ask
the yeas and pays cm. the euspension of the rules; but
Mr. Kelley objected.
Mr. Epanmos insisted that it! was his right as a
part of the motion to have the paper read.
The Seem= ruled otherwise. and referred to a de
cision by Mr. Fillmore, in the Senate in 1850, stating
that there never hes been a case since the formation of
the government, where a protest was entered on the
journal of the Senate; that an attempt to authorize it
to be done had been Made at an early period and re
fused.
Mr. Krum', of Pennsylvania, remarked that the
paper was in print in the morning - papers. and that it
was a mere tirade azainetCongrees, a condensation
of speeches made in the Muse by gentlemen on the
°thee . side.
The Seeman; said that the paper was not before
the house, and therefore it was not right to character
ize it..
The ruleti were not suspended—yeas 46. nays 84.

The
ldr. ELDRIDGI stated that since the paper had been
presented yesterday, two additional names had been
signed to it, those of Messrs. Wood and Morrissey, of
New York. [Laughter on the Republican aide.]
Mr. Dawes suggested that the paper might be rend
at the Clerk's desk, provided that its statements,
which appeared to him to be wide of thetruth, might
be answered. He for one was not unwilling to meet
any of the suggestions or charges contained in it.
SeveralßePublican members—lt needs no answer.
Mr. ELDRLIXIN said be had no objections to that.
Mr. DAWE, moved that the mice be suspended for
that purpose.
The vote being taken appeared to be largely against
the motion.
Mr. Rump: ask called for the yeas and nays.
hir, DAWES remarked that he did not' wish to an
tagonize his friends, but he did not think it exactly
frank on their part to shrink from any such state
ment, and he for one was ready to meet it. He with
drew the motion.
Mr. Sraimmo, from the Committee on Appropria

POBTOFFICE APPROPRIATION BILL.
The Ileaeo then went Into Committee of the Whole,
Mr. - Ashley, of Ohio, in the chair, and prkeeded to
the consideration of the poitoffice appropriation bill.
Mr. BLAINE, of Maine, exiiiiiined the bill. He said
'..r.thaapprrepriatiortbilkilow.endereensidertt. tior6 - calls
for $19,515,000 for the ordinary service of the l'cst
office Department for the ensuing fiscal year, and for
$745,000 for fereign mail transportation under special
contracts with certain steamship companlea.
The ordinary receipts of the Department for the same
period are estimated in gross at $16,700,000, leaving a
• fieficiency of $2, 800.150, to be provided for from the
general treasury. Of this Amount twa millions are al
ready td thtteredit of the Postoffice Departhient in un
drawn balances of prior appropriations. So that we
ate called upon in thlip, bill to appropriate in round
numbers $BOO, 000. to'su pply the estimated deficit. The
receipts may possibly outrun the estimates of the De
partment, in which event the deficit will of course be
correspondingly reduced.
It is quite possible, bn the other hand; that the ex
penses may increase somewhat, bat it is believed that
. the entire deficit for, the ordinary expenses of the Do
perunentwill not exceed $3.000,000. it has only been
at ray intervals that the ordinary receipts of the Post
office Department have been sufficient to meet Its ex
penditures. The mast conspicuous of these periods
was the last three years of the recent war, in each of
• which a positive surplus was realized, amounting in
the closing year to more than $1,500, 000. •
For thB eight years preceding those I have iust
named, the deficiencies were very large, amounting
each year as follow':
1855, to $2,626,206.16; in 1856, $2,787, 016.50; in 1857,
$3, 453, 718.40; in 1858, $4,543,843 70; in 1859, $11,996.-
009. 26; in 1860, $5,656,105.49; iu 1861,54, 557 , 462.71 ; in
1E62, $9.412,111 . 4.17;:-- ---
The Southern States having revolted in 1861, andth ,
mail service therein being discontinued, and the long
and expensive routes in the Southwestern Territories
being broken up, the Department was relieved of a
very great outlay. The very first year of the war the
expenses of mail transportation were largely decreased,
and for the remaining three: years, the years bell*
counted as terminating on June 80, a positive surplus
was realized, es follows:
In 1863, $548.582,75; in 1864, $493,407;58; in 186,5
$1,561,480.42. During the last named year the De- ,
pertinent began to restore the service to the Southern
States, and the expense wa,s thereby at once °nor
_ inonely, jpereased over the correventheig" rec e n t &
" - Very lengthy — afid - elienhive - rciiites were also
and are continually being added in the new States
and Territories west of the Mississippi River, and from
• the operation of these two causes the Department has
been compelled to unite. rtake burdens without retliz
,, ing the menus from the , postal service to sustain
hem. The consequence' was that for the year 18611
the deficit was $965,063,09, and during 1867 the deficit
senate.
was .1,4006,701,92, ~. We cannot .as yet accurately
determine thelleffeirfor'lB6B. WO is presumed that
it will be above $2,000,000. Were the Be n thern States
and-tire new States And Territories ,west, of the
Miseiselppi excladed ' from the eceodiat. the
postal,. service would annually - result , iu paying a
net revenue to the government.
In some Of the States the receipts very largely ex
coed the expenditures. It is quite evident to the most
casual observer that if we should limit our postal ger
' vice at any given 11010, the receipts would very surely
and very rapidly overtake and outrun the expendi
tures; but an economy of that kind is Precisely what
we cannot afford, and it is the height of public expedi
eney to devote the surplus postal receipts in the densely
settled sections of dur country to furnishifig mail fa
cilities to the frontier population of our distant Ter

IMPEACHMENT.
At a quarter past three o'clock, Mr. BUTLER rase
and reported from the managers of impeachment an
additional article, remarking that there was but one
dissenting voice among the managers, and that it bad
only failed yesterday on account of want of time.
[The article was published yesterday.--Reporter.
Mr. Emumori, of Wisconsin, made the point of
order that the managers had no right to report articles
of impeachment, es the Howie had appointed a corn-
Mittee for that purpose.
The Steen= overruled the point of order on two
grounds, the principal one being that any member had
a right, as a question of the highest privilege, to pre
terit articles of imppeeaacchment.
Mr. BuraEn addreased the House in support of the
article. A precedent for-it was to be found In the
impeachment of Judge Samuel Chase, against whom
en article framed as this article is was presented and
received more votes sustaining It than any other
article on which be had been tried. He understood
What the difficulty had been in the House yesterday
on this article. It was a fear lest the trial might be
protracted; first, by the attempt to prove the aver
ment, and second, by the calling of. a large number of
VW:testes for the defense. On the part of the House,
they should only have to call the stenographers, with
their notes, who reported the speeches. These men
were known and could easily be produced. On the
part of the President, he could only call persons to
show that he did not say the things .alleged against
biro, and therefore-there could be no delay. The
managers would have the thing all in their own limes-
They had a right to strike out any article, or to decline
presenting proof to sustain it. This article wilt there
fore within the precedent. It was an article that
struck the mind of anyt one who read it, and there
could he no doubt of its truth. There could be no
doubt of the President having used blasphemous and
unholy language in addressing a jeering, drunken
Crowd.
Mr. GARFIELD said he noticed that by. the rules
adopted by the Senate each member of the Senate
would have a right to speak ten minutes on every
interlocutory motion and question, and suggested
whether that might not protract the trial to an un
limited extent. If so, he should certainly be opposed
to this article.
Mr. BUTLER replied that, in regard to the admissi
bility of the evidence, there Wet but one question that
was to prove the words. It would be observed that
the article did not allege the falsity of the words, be-.
cause, in his judgment, it was not according to the
dignity of the Rouse, or of the Senate, to try the
ivies:ion of truth or falsehood of any accusation
against Congress as an unconstitutional body. The
gravamen or the article was that if the words were
spoken at all which, true or false, any man who
should be so vile as to use each language, and espe
cially that a President of the United States should do
so, the moment this article was made the foundation
for delay It would be competent for the managers to
withdraw it or to offer the proof on it. -
Mr. OarirreLli suggested that they could withdraw
parts of it.
Mr. Bureau assented, adding that it contained
three specifications, and it was so drawn up with that
view.
Mr. Mono.ua, of Ohio, rising to a question of order,
deniede that the managers had - a right to withdraw an
article adopted by the /Wine.
• The SPEAKEII declined to entertain the point of
'arder,as it was not a question before the House.
Mr. Grrr„ of Pennsylvania, asked whether it would
be in order to inquire whether the attacks of the
President upon Congress had been half as scandalous
and indecent as the attacks of 'Congress upon the
President?
The SPEAKER said it would be if the gentleman had
the floor to make the inquiry.
Mr. WOODEBIDGE stated that he was opposed to the
article for two reasons; the first being that if Lae
President was put on his trial under it, it would take
a length of time. If his counsel should desire to con
sume time equal to that occupied in the trial of War
ren Hastings; and the second being that it charged no
crime, bat only utterances that were indecent and un
becoming in the Chief Magistrate of the United Stat es .
There were but two classes of offense in which con
viction could be had. They were high crimes and
misdemeanors, and either was charged in his article.
It was not a crime for the President to make re •
marks while be was swinging round the circle. that
might be distasteful to Congress or improper for him
to make; hence he believed that there was nothing
in the article on which a conviction could be had. He
bad yet to learn that the President or any civil (A
ces could be impeached except for high crime or mis
demeanor, and be only asked that the article should be
so framed that a Court of Impeachment could enter
tain it.
Mr. Btrizzn. expressed his satisfaction that the
old doctrine which he had supposed dead and burled,
that thePresldent could only be impeached for crime
or misdemeanor, bad again been resurrected in order
that he might get a fair lick' at it. [Laughter] The
proposition was, that for the lowest degree of indict
able crime, to wit: assault and battery. or selling li
quor without license,"t, he President might he impeach.
ed. but that be could not be impeached when he
usurped the liberties of the people, becacnse no in
dictment lay against that.
The proposition was, that the President might be
impeached for selling liquor without a license, but
could not be impeached for getting into a carriage and
riding up and down Pennsylvania avenue with two bad
women, one on each side of him, reeling drunk, for he
knew of no statute against that. He would inform
the gentleman from Vermont (Mr. Woodbridge) that
this article did not charge that the President brought
himself into ridicule and contempt. That he was wel
come to it, but that he brought the high office which
he fills, not occupies, into sovereign disgrace, ridicule
and contempt, so that it was hardly respectable for a
decent man to fill it hereafter. Was not that an
peachable misdemeanor? Ile did not stand on his
own word alone, but on the authority or Judge Strong,
who toed these words about bnpeashment : "It •• is a
proceeding, probably the fairest that could be devised,
by which the people, through the action of that branch
of the goveriunent which more directly and fully rep
resents them, call inquestion the fitneis of their pub
lic officers, and dismiss them if unfit." He would like
to see anybody in the, DO Ilae or in the country, who
was on their side, vote that Andrew Johnson was a fit
man to be President of the United States.
A Democratic Member—There is logic for you!
Mr. Butler prodeeded to say that the article had
beep drawn directly within the precedent in Judge
Chage's case: and that none of the meat •• lawyers - who
helped Judie Chase, Comprising Mr. Witt, ventured
to say that the article, if proved, was not a misde
meanor withinlhe meaning of the Constitution.
Mu. IlLonixioz inquired whether the opinion cited.
from Jhdge Strong was not in direct conflict with the
`-.decittiorretthe - SuprenteflourtowthatTer7 pettat ---
' Mr. Stn.= tnikwereci detidedly no. adding that the
United States Supreme Court had never decided that
question, nor had itjarla lction to decide it. That
great question was to be decided, first by, the Rouse of
Representatives, and then by the Senate, 'sitting in its
jucticlal.capacity. If the Supreme Court undertook to
decide it. its •decision should be brushed away as a
cbhwebabr the - judges of that court were themselves
liable to be adjudicated upon by that higher court, the
Senate of the Unitedfitates.
The'; articles alieady. adopted presented only the
bondsoad sinew of 411 e offenses of Andrew johnaori.
lie wanted to clothe that bone and sinew iv,ith flesh
and blood, and to show him before the country as the
quivering sinner that he is, so that hereafter, when
posterity came to examine these proceedings, it might
not have cause to wonder that the only offense
charged against Andrew Johnson was a merely tech
nical one. He would have him go down to postekity
as the representative man of this age, with a label
upon him that would 'stick to him through all time.
Mr.• WrtisoN; of /oWsotnother 'of the managers,
stated:that he himself was the Member referred to by
Mr. Butler al dissenting, from the .reporting of this
article u
He believed that the case embracad in the article
adopted yesterday was Otte onwhicli Andrew Johnson
could be convicted and deposed' from °Mee. It must
be recollected that While the House controlled the
present proceedings, it could not control the proceed
ings before the Senate.
The House'couldnotiletermine - What - quilitT6h the
ds,fense might raise, how many.witnesses it might ex
amine, what time might be taken up in their con
sideration, what testimony it might introduce—ail
that was to be determined by the Court.
As to the Chase case being a precedent for thelarti•
de, did not the gentleman from Massachesetts re
member that that case resulted in an acquittal ? ' if.it.
was worth anything at ail, therefore it was worth
something as a warrdng not to try in this case what

jet the case go to the Court in order that the doctrine
might be settled, but he begged the Souse to remem
ber that under the article now proposed,
counsel for the defense might prolong the caeo
inoennltely, unless the article _vnts - withdrawn,
.as suggested. Would the gentleman (Mr. Bat
)erjwlthdraw it, if be did not believe there would be
remaining' In the case enough to convict the Presi
dent: and it he believed so. why load down the record
with this additional article ?
_ .
Mr. BUTLER replied to Hr. Wilson's argument. He
held that, though a judge was only in his official po
sition while on the bench, the President was in his
,whether on the balcony of a St. Louis hotel, or In the
Past Ito , m of the White House. He reminded the
House that Judge Humphrey, of Tennessee, had
been Impeached on the complaint of Andrew Johnson
himself, and for a political speech delivered on the
stump, before the war, before Fort Sumter was fired
upon, and before South Carolina had seceded
Mr. WltsoN, of lowa, begged to correct the gen
tleman. The speech Inquestion had been made after
the passage of the ordinance of Secession of South
Carolina, and after South Carolina had levied war
against the United States.
Mr. Ittirtmetiggested the inquiry Dater guts CUR
torliat eaatodial ' who libel correct the corrector, who
keeper:shall keep he and he denied that on the 19th
of December, 15410, when Judge Humphrey made the
speech for Which he was impeached, there was war
between the United States and South Carolina. As
to the case of Judge Chase, the article similar to that
now before the House was the one which got moat
votes for conviction,and was the only article on which
the vote was not a strictlA party one. lie did not
think his friend from lowa would have objected to
this article if he had not about him the lingering
00E4 of his doctrine about indictable crime. He
trusted the House would sustain the action of the
managers in reporting this article, and also in another
article which they were prepared to report.
Mr. Locus of Illinota , argued in favor of adopting
the article. It was not always that a man was con
victed on every count in an indictment, and he sup
posed there was not a lawyer in the House who would
any that he ever knew.a conviction to fall because
there were too many counts in the indictment. He
thought Andrew Johnson could be convicted on the
',Melee already adopted, but others might have a dif
ferent opinion, and certainly the adoption of the
proposed article *aid not facilitate his acquittal. He
could not, therefore, see the possible injury that it
could do.
The gentleman from lowa (Mr. Wilson) was a good
lawyer, a technical lawyer, and Chairman of the Judi
ciary Committee; but be deemed it strange theft a man
should become so technical that everything mast he
judged in the House to be law exactly as tie lays it
down, or else that it cannot be law. If conviction
could be had, as he believed it would be, on articles
already adopted, additional articles could do no harm.
Bat if he were not to be convicted on those already
adopted, and if no others were adopted, then the im
peachment would be a failure entirely. Ilence he ap
proved of adopting the additional articles, and he
hoped they would be adopted by the House.
The previous question was then moved and sec
onded, and the house proceeded to vote by yeas and
nays on adopting the article reported as article ten.
The article was adopted—yeas 87, nays 41—the only
Republicans voting in the negative being Messrs.
Ashley of Nevada. Coburn. Griswold, Lenin, Mallory,
Marvin. Pomeroy, Smith, Wilson of lowa, Wilson of
Ohio, Windom and Woodbridge.
Mr. Smell/ix, of Ohio, then offered the following
as an Additional article, Saying that it had received the
unanimous vote of the managers, and he moved the
previous question on its adoption:
Article 2. That said Andrew Johnson, President of
the Utited States. unmindful of the high duties of
his office and his oath of office, and in disregard of
the Constitution and laws of the United States, did,
heretofore, to wit; On the 18th day , of August, 1868,
at the City of Washington and the District of Colum
bia, by public speech, declare and affirm in substance,
that the Thirty-ninth Congress'of the United States
was; not a Congress of the United States authorized
by the Constitution to exercise legislative
power under the same, but, on the contrary, was a
Congress of only part of the States, thereby denying,
and intending to deny, that the legislation of said
Congress was valid or obligatory upon him, the said
Andrew Johnson, except in so far as he saw fit to
approve the same, and also thereby denying the power
of the said Thirty-ninth Congress to propose amend
ments to the Constitution of the United States, and
in pursuance of said declaration, the said Andrew
Johnson. President of the United Stites.
afterwards, to . wit: on the 21st day of Feb-.
ruary, 1868. at the City of Washington, D. C.,
did, unlawfully and in disregard of the requirements of
the Constitution that he should take care that the
laws be faithfully executed, attempt to prevent the
execution of an act entitled "An act regulating the
tenure of certain civil offices," parsed March 2, 1867,
by unlawfully deviaing, and contriving and attempt -
irg to devise and contrive, means by which he should
prevent Edwin M. Stanton from forthwith resuming
the functions of the office of Secretary for the Depart
ment of War, notwithstanding the refusal of the
Senate to concur in the suspension theretofore made
by said Andrew Johnson of said Edwin 3l.Stanton from
said office of Secretary for the Department of War, and
also by further unlawfully devising and contriving,
and attempting to devise and contrive, means then
and there to prevent the execution of an act entitled
"An act reeking appropriations for the support of the
army for the fists' year ending Jane 20. 1868, Snd for
other purposes, approved March 20, 1867," and also to
prevent the execution of an act entitled "An act to
provide for the more efficient government of the rebel
states, passed March 2, 186 .
7 whereby the said An
drew Johnson, President of the United States,, did
then, to wit, on the 21st day of February, 1869, at the
City of Washington, commit and was guilty of a high
misdemeanor in office.
Mr. BROOKE, of New Fors, inquired whether that
article was printe&
The SIISAREE stated It sae not
Bnooas suggested that after all it was just about
as well to vote on it without its being printed. It
really made no difference what was in it.
Mr. ELDIIIIg.t, of Wisconsin, suggested that his
protest would come in appropriately at this point. If
it was not true this morning, the gentleman from
Massachusetts (Mr. Dawes) would not deny that it
was true now. He asked that the article be again
read.
Mr. KELSEY, of 'New York, objected, and
Mr. ELDRIDGE remarked that he did not know it
was important to have it read. It was only a matter
of impeachment.
The article was adopted--yeas 109, nays 40--a strict
party vote, as the rote of yesterday.
Mr. &INGHAM then reported two resolutions--one
directing that the articles of impeachment be exhibited
in the name of the House of Representatives and of
all the people, and be carried to the Senate by the
managers: and the other authorizing the managers to
appoint a clerk and messenger, and to send for persons
and papers. Adopted.
Mr. JENCRE.. of Rhode Island, offered, as an addi
tional article, the one offered by him yesterday.
Mr. Mammon suggested, in derision, that be also
tad an article of impeachment to offer. . .
Without taking a vote on Mr. Jenckes' proposition,
the Bowe at r. M. adjourned. •
