This important body will assemble in
Academy of RI Ric, in this city, to-morrow,
an turmtal circumstance, as these gatherings
genereDY takelplace at interior towns of the
statie4 There is but little doubt that Auditor-
General'Sohn F. Hartranft and Surveyor -
Cieneral Jacob M. Campbell will be re-nomi
sated by acclamation, a compliment which
they have fairly won by faithful and efficient
service. General Grant will, of course, be
the undivided choice of the Convention for
the Presidency ; but there will be a struggle
for the Vice Presidential nomination. The
question e t oems to be narrowed down to ex-
Governor Curtin, Gov. Geary and Hon. Ga
'nabs Grow. Either of these gentlemen
would be acceptable to the Reptibli can party
throughout the State, and let the choice fall
upon whom it may, there will be a cordial
and harmonious support accorded to the suc
cessful nominee.
The nomination of Auditor-General and
Surveyor-General, the formation of an elec
toral ticket, the choosing of delegates at large
to the National. Convention and the adoption
of the usual resolutions, will be the business
which will occupy the attention of the con
vention. There will be a grand ratification
meeting at the Academy of Music on Thurs
day night.
lIIRS. ILIEBIBLE 9 S READINGS.
• There appears to have been no exaggera
jion in fits OCCOUttte Of enObbiett
ndiS and vulgarity exhibited by the fashion
ables of New York at Mrs. Kemble's Read
ings. Mts. Kemble's polite request, in ad
vance, that her audience would be seated
before the readings commenced, the patience
with which she submitted to the first rude
ness,that was offered to her, the indignation
of the general audience that manifested itself
in applause while she was kept standing for
five long minutes and waiting for silence,
and the &punctilious of the public press,—
all these seem to have had the effect of in
evening instead of diminishing the nuisance.
On Saturday evening this gross imperti
nence of a few fashionables was again mani
fested, and the reading was again delayed,
and even after . Mrs., Kemble commenced she
was interrupted by fresh invasions of these
vulgar, low-bred snobs. Then, in self-defence,
the doors were closed, and this resulted in a
contest between the door-keepers and the
snobs. Prominent among the latter class were
Mr. Leonard Jerome, whom New Yorkers
worship as one of the choicest leaders of fash
ion and models of all elegance and polite
ness. Mr. A. Oakey Hall, the District
Attorney of New York, was another of these
elegant gentlemen who, by threats of prose
cution and the police, thrust themselves
in upon Mrs. Kemble and her audience of re
spectable and refined people. It is a pity that
they should have succeeded. It would have
been well to try conclusions with New York
anobdom, and settle the question whether a
performer or a lessee or manager has not the
right to be protected from such wilful and an
noying intrusions and interruptions. The
purchase of a ticket entitles its holder to the
quiet enjoyment of the entertainment, in the
time and form agreed upon; only that and
nothing more. It does not confer the right
to annoy; interrupt or insult ladies and gen
tlemen who recognize the common law of de
cency, refinement and propriety. It is just
this right that the Jeromes and Oakey Halls
of New York claim, and which should be
flatly denied them.
Mrs. Kemble, despairing of a decent treat-
mtnt at the hands of New York "society,"
bas fallen back upon the English fashion,
and determined to abolish the system of re
served seats. It is not to be wondered at
that Mrs. Kemble should try almost any
expedient to rid herself of the intolerable
nuisance which she has experienced - in New
York; but it may well be questioned whether
there is aay necessity for such,,,an expedient
anywhere in America outside of New York.
During Mr. Dickens's readings here, he was
never annoyed as Mrs. Kemble has
been in New York. A Philadelphia audience,
or at least such an audience as Mrs. Kemble
will have here, is composed of quiet, well
-mannered, • decent people, who respect the
rights tt:of their entertainer, and who will not
permit such snobbishness as has been exhi
bited in New York.
.We are sorry that Phil
adelphia should be in any way ma de to bear
the sins of New York, at least until we have
had the opportunity to prove that we know
how to behave °twelves. There , are serious
• practical difficulties ahoutthe propqed plan,
• which we fear will result in great fficonve
nience to the audience, and a considerable
diminution in the receipts, from the impossi
bility of persuading people to seat themselves
voluntarily in as compact a form as they are
compelled to adopt by the "reserved seat" Sys
tea. There must consequently be a conSide
able reduction in the practicable capacity
of the hall. •
We feel so sure that Mrs. liemble will not
IA troubled elsewhere; as she has been in
New York, that we cannot but express the
common regret that is felt that the good peo
ple of Philadelphia should be deprived of the
undoubted convenience and advantage of
purchasing reserved seats for Mrs. enable's
.reaxlings to whlekevery body is looking for
ward with so much pleasure. If it should
ever come to pass ?-that Philadelphia must
shoulder the sins and short-comings of New
York generally, we shall have a sorry time
of it.
WHAT NAMES A CITle GROW I
On the growth of a city depends the pros
perity of all its inhabitants. It is this growth
that determines the measure of success of
men of business, the rates of rent, the value
of property. And, therefore, the causes that
control growth, that stimulate and check it
deserve a more attentive consideration than
they are apt to receive.
Of course, all cities tend to grow by the
natural increase of population. But some
outrun this, others lag behind it. Some con
tinually lose a portion of their natural in
crease, owing to the superior attractiveness
of other places. Others not only retain their
own natural increase, but tend continually to
draw in new inhabitants from other places.
Which of these two courses a city shall
take depends to some extent upon natural
causes, and a greater or less advantage of po
sition and salubrity of climate. But it de
pends vastly more upon the character
which, the inhabitants of a city succeed
in giving to it. London, for example, is an
inland town upon a little river, and with a
bad climate, but it is not only the largest city
in Christendom, but is also increasing faster
than any city in the world.
Therefore it cannot but be profitable to ex
amine briefly the sources of this singular at
tractiveness which a city may possess, and to
see how far they exist in our own city.
Cheapness of . living is undoubtedly a
powerful source of attraction, especially to
those who have but small means and yet arc
not satisfied with country towns. Philadel
phia possesses this requisite, but if it is to
be retained, our citizens will have to keep a
watchful eye upon her rates of taxation. The
astonishing effect of increased taxation in
raising prices has been sufficiently exemplified
in our country at large, and we have no desire
to see this costliness of living further en
hanced here by increased local taxation,
which raises rents, increases the cost of all
produce raised around the city, upon which
we so largely depend for our markets, and in
every way tells on the price of living.
Amusements, of .a rational sort, are not
only an attraction to strangers to visit a large
city, but tend to induce to permanent resi
dence. In these respects this city is rather
deficient. We have a good opera house, but
we have not what we ought to have in the
way of halls for concerts, readings, and
similar entertainments. A large concert hall,
thoroughly safe, and on the ground floor,
capable of containing a very large audience,
and in which good concerts could be given at
low rates, would be very useful.
So, too, good musical performances at the
Park might be more frequent, at proper
seasons, than they have been. The Park
itself is now to be increased; with an increase
of its size, it will be possible to make it a
pleasanter place to drive in than hitherto. A
line of Nicholson pavement, connecting it
with Broad street, will be also a matter of
necessity.
The planting of avenues of trees outside
the city should be encouraged. San Fran
cisco, with remarkable good sense, effects
this by throwing off one dollar of tax upon
every thriving young tree set out on the road
side by the owner of property fronts.
Opportunities of instruction constitute
another source of attraction of the first mag
nitude. We want a first-class Public Library.
We need a vast Lecture Hall, in which first
class lectures shall be given nightly or almost
nightly, with all the best means of illustra •
tration, aided by electric lights, diagrams,
dissolving views, perfect experimental appa
ratus, and all the other appliances of instruc
tion. We want a museum upon a large
scale, and under thoroughly scientific direc
tion.
' We need an Art Gallery that shall at
tract students by offering valuable opportu
nities.
In the Park there should be at least one
thoroughly good refreshment-room, and
Councils in leasing it should make it impera
five that moderate prices should be charged.
This may seem a trifling matter, but it ii
not. Wealthy people to whom overcharges
are nothing are precisely those who never use
such places. It is the people of small means
to whom these little enjoyments are valuable,
and all such should be encouragedin every
way to seek quiet pleasure with their families
at such places, instead of resorting to haunts
of dissipation alone.
. fine drive from one end of the city to the
other, such as will be .afforded• by Broad
street when cleared of the tracks and covered
with a fine smooth pavement, will be of in
calculable value to the city. Some of those
narrow-minded people, who think that every
thing that another gains is their loss, suppose
that this improvement will only help those
Who chive. This is not so ; the clearing out
and putting in order of Broad street will be a
benefit to every person living in Phila
delphia.
We greatly fear that our citizens, or at
least many of them, do not appreciate the
importance of all this. We are satisfied that
it is not acted upon as it should be. With
our excellent markets, our ample opportunity
of expanding the city in every direction, our
enterprising inhabitants, and the high cha
racter of our business men, we ha,ve a great
future before us if we know how to use our
opportunities. We are not doing this in all
respects as well as we should. With the
settlement of our civil difficulties and the
prospect of a riddance of the Great Incubus
at Washington, we pass from troubled waters
into smooth, and our coufitry is entering upon
a career of vaster prosperity thaiheretofore.
It is for us to watch that our city shall reap
its full share of these advantages.
Mr. Charles F. flaseltine has now on exhi
bition, in the Academy of the Fine Arts, a
collection of American and European works
of art, chosen by him during the last year or
two, including many of great beauty. They
will remain there until the 23d inst., and on
that and the following evening they will be
offered at public sale in the Assembly Build
ing, corner of Tenth and Chestnut streets.
The collection is we worthy of repeated
visits.
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN.-PHILADELPHIA,' UESDAY, MARCH 10.1,868.
_Had Mr. Johnson been favored with
muscle,' as he has been gifted in - respect •
to ears and stubbornness, he would have
made a tirst-class pugilist. He would have.
borne unlimited "mauling," and would have
"come up to the scratch grimly smiling" at
each successive "round." Getting his head
"in chancery" and having his "knowledge
box badly punched" would have failed, to
bring him to terms, and he never would have
consented to throw up the sponge, but would
rather allow himself to be thrown over the
ropes by his successful opponent and ruled
"out of time" by the referee. His friend,
John Morrissey, would have been equally
willing to "put on the gloves" with him, or to
take him to his muscular bosom in a
friendly embrace. Mr. Johnson, to use
the slang of the P. R., now "has his head in
chancery" and while he has not the slightest
chance of escape from his Congressional
maulers, he acts as though he was upper
most in the set-to. His latest freak is to re
fuse to receive papers forwarded to him from
the army headquarters through the War De
partment, and he has made a formal request
to General Grant that all documents which
require hiS attention shall be transmitted
directly to the White House, and not sent
through Secretary Stanton's hands. Ile has
also formally established a War Office in the
White House, and has directed that in the
future all business connected with the army
originating in the Executive branch of the
Government shall be transacted through his
friend Lorenzo. In view of such facts as
these it is pretty evident that the pugnacious
President will not throw up the sponge by
resigning. He may grow "groggy''from
rough handling, or through some more direct
influence; but he will come up smiling until
the last round, when the Congressional
bruisers with whom he is contending will
knock him into the close of his term and 01l
to Tennessee.
The rebel ram, "Lady l)avis," which some
time since was sold to a dealer in old iron in
this city, is nQW being broken up. This fate
is typical of the process that is about to be
performed upon the last formidable relic of
the "Lost Cause." The "Lady Davis" was
designed to ram her head against the vessels
of the United States, but she was captured
before before an opportunity had offered of
putting her amiable intentions into execution.
The other relic of the rebellion butted his
head against Uncle Sam's craft to such pur
pose that the butter has become the butted,
and he is about to share the rate of the "Lady
Davis." The consummation so devoutly
wished for cannot come too soon to keep
pace with the desires of the loyal people of
the-country.
sflealh 01 a 'Well-known Publisher.
Information reached this city yesterday of the
death of Mr. Edward C. Markley, of the firm of
E. C: Markley & Bon, printers and publishers,
No. 422 Library street. Mr. Markley served his
apprenticeship with Crissy & Goodman, and
after the retirement of the latter, in the year
1839, Mr. Markley was taken into the firm and
he continued to be an active member of the con
cern until the period of his death.. He was pro
minent in politics as in business, and was al
ways earnest in his advocacy of the principles
of the old Whig party. In later years he has
been a ardent and useful member of the Re
publican party. For a considerable pe
riod Mr. Markley has been in failing health, and
his death took place in Florida, whither ho had
gone in search of a more genial climate.

Wssumo lox, March 10th.—As the time ap
proaches for the President to answer the sum
mons served upon him from the Courtef 1111-
peachment,the number of rumors as to bold move
ments which he has In contemplation Increases.
Last night political circles were greatly die
turbed by these rumors, and It became,almost
Impossible to get at the true and exact condition
of affairs. A story was afloat which, strange to
say, gaited considerable credence, that Secretary
McCulloch had tendered his resignation and
that it would be accepted by the President.
Another statement was set afloat to the effect
that the case of General Thomas would come up
in the Cabinet meeting to-day, and that be would
be recognized by the entire Cabinet, and then
would issue a general order as 'Secretary of
War.
Your correspondent visited Secretary McCul
loch this morning, In order to ascertain what
truth there was in the statements regarditig his
course. In a firm and decided tone Mr. Mc-
Culloch dedlared that not one word had
passed between himself and the President as to
his retsignstion, and that the stories to this effect
were without foundation. Re had no intention
whatever, be astd, of tendering his resignation
while the present condition of affairs existed. It
bad been stated that the Treasury De
partment had refused to honor
drafts drawn by Mr. E. M. Stanton
as Secretary of War. - There was no foundation
in such stories, and,to On his own language, they
were all "Bosh!" If the Cabinet intended to
consider the case of General Thomas In the meet
ing to-day, he said he had no knowledge of it,
nor had it even been intimated to him by the
President.
Secretary McCulloch thought there was undue
excitement existing in political circles, which
would calm down, however, in a few days.
Senator Wade's Position.
(Special De/Web to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.)
WAAIitaoTOY, March 10.—Many correspondents
have, during the past two weeks, pretended to
give, apparently by authority, the views of Sena
tor Wade on the present crisis, and statements
have been extensively telegraphed that, in order
to prevent any division in the Republican ranks,
he (Wade) would tender his resignation, In case .
he saw that impeachment was sure to go through,
as President of the Senate, and thus permit Mr.
Colfax to occupy the Presidential chair.
All k uch stories are,of course,rnere speculations,
and without any shadow of truth whatever. Mr.
Wade Is not the Idle talker that these stories
would make him out. No one has been author
ized to state his views, and, in fact, to only a few
personal friends has he communicated them. In
the present state of affairs he holds that it is not
proper for him to do otherwise than maintain an
entire reticence..
As to whether he would vote on the final ques
tion of impeachment, your correspondent is not
permitted to state. So far as his right to vote, If
be deshed, is concerned,he believes that it cannot
be quEationed. He was elected_from Ohio to rep
resent that State,and it is its vote which he would
cast, and not his own.. This question, of course,
is a very delicate one, but Mr. Wade's friends
can be assured that he is fully cognizant as to the
position he would be placed in either by voting or
not voting, and he is fully prepared to meet the
grave question.
Desiring to know how Senator Patterson, the
President's son-in-law, regarded his, vote in this.
ease, Mr. Wade went to him while his (Wade's)
right to be sworn in as a member of the Court
was being discussed in the - SetiatS,- - and , Proposed
that he (Wade) and Patterson should pair off
during the entire trial. This Mr. Patterson posi
tively refused to do, sine asserted that ho should
demand his right to vote on the final question.
Had Mr. Patterson felt inclined thus to pair off
with Mr. Wade, it is by no means certain that
Mr. Wade would have done so.
Fire and Lees of Life.
Ml.:NelmsTelt. N. It, March 10.—The dwelling
of Dennis McCarthy was burned last night, and
Miss Hannah Sullivan, aged 20 years, perished in
the flames. The victim was sleeping In one of
the upper rooms of the house when the fire broke
out.
From Fortress Monroe.
FORTRESS Mormoz, March 10.—Information
shaving reached the revenue offleets in Norfolk
that an illicit distillery existed somewhere on the
Dismal Swamp Canal steps were taken to ascer
tain the facts, and seize the still should any be
found.'
The party left Norfolk in atug on Tuesday
evening and proceeded to the vicinity of the sup
posed manufactory. The party fearing there
might be trouble; mentioned the fact to Captain
:akin.- of the United Fre comptuay, who
promptly volunteered his services, together with
several more of the company.. They reached the
month of the canal without accident, end shortly
afterwards overhauled two small schoonenrs, but
found them all right. With the third one, how
ever, they were more successful, finding some ton
or a dozen barrels of whisky. The schooner
turned out to, be the Enterprise, chartered by
para. Collins. As it was evident she was not en
'raged in a legitimate enterprise, she was seized
and sent back to Norfolk, while the,party passed
N on in search of the distillery. They found it near
the intersection of the Dismal Swamp canal and
Petersburg railroad, and immediately took charge
of it, the men in charge beating a hasty retreat
into the OwaMP•
The nett on the schooner were brought before
the 13- S. Commissioner, and testified that they
were ordered to proceed to the canal bank, op=
posite the distlllery, take in the 'whisky and land
it at Roanoke dock, Portsmotitb, where it was
always called for by a drayman and . removed to
some otber int..islity. -, 'The trten:Wero - discharg4fd
and Collins arrested.. His examination was post
poned until the 10th inst., and he was held to
ball in the sum of Vi,ooo. The location of ' this
distillery was well selected, and it is highly pro
bable that H strict search were made that more
of them would be found within its dismal limits.
The steamer Mystic, which formerly ran on the
route from Norfolk to West Point, connecting
with the York River Railroad for Richmond, has
been placed on the ronte from Norfulk,to Hamp
ton, making tw,o trips daily.
The steamer Favorite has heretofore monopo
lized this trade, making one trip daily, and occur
pying llve hours on the run.
The Mystic will make the round trip inside of
three hours, and it ispresumed she will receive a
liberal share of the public patronage.
The schooner Anawau, Ciptain Miller, from
Honduras, with a cargo of cocoanuts, has been
ordered to proceed to Baltimore.

CRIME.
EXECUTION AT PARKERSBURG, VA.
The End of the Murderer Fisie—His
Conteiodon to rhree Murders—Xcenes
at the Execution.
On Friday last Joseph Elsie ati".s John Shafer
was executed at Parkersburg, West Virginia, for
the murder last summer, at that place, of Ulrich,
Lilienthal and Tsutor, three Germaus,with whom
be was on friendly terms. He murdered them
for small PLM, of money, which he was anxious
to obtain in order to pay debts in Germany—an
"honorable murderer." In February he made
the following confession, in jail, at Parkersburg:
"I, the undersigned, confess from my own free
will that I am the murderer of Aloys Ulrich, Jo
seph Lilienthal and Rudolph Tsutor, and that I
Intended also to kill the fourth man if Almighty
God had not prevented it, for which I thank him
on my knees day and night. I want no witnesses
and no defence, and cannot really give any rea
son for my misdeeds, except that the evil spirit
led me Into temptation, and I could not resist IL
"I beg. also, that no disgrace many attach to
my wife, who is free from blame, as I always ar
ranged matters so that she would not have any
suspicion. I also pray that those to whom I
owe may not think that they will be defrauded.
I am anxious to give each man his own as near
as possible."
A despatch from Parkersburg gives the fol
lowing account of the execution on Friday last:
FARKERSErfIG, March 6.—The weather was
cloudy and wet, and the roads knee-deep with
mud. Notwithstanding this, a crowd of over five
thousand, of both sexes, a few mounted or riding
In wagons, were there to see the execution of one
of the most cold blooded murderers known in the
annalsof crime.
The prisoner. escorted by his confessor, Father
Parke, arrived at the scaffold about 12.30 P. M.
The drop fell at one o'clock, and life was pro-
Bounced extinct at twelve minutes after. He
did not straggle, and but for an occa
sional slight\ tremor and uplifting of the
hand one would have supposed death instanta
neous. The ground was kept by two companies
of militia. The behavior of the assembly was
quiet and orderly, and befitting so solemn an oc
casion. Elsie was a native of Baden; served two
years in the Papal army, only one of which WAS
spent in Rome; from this he deserted and pro
bably went to the brigands of the mountains. as
is common with deserters. He came to this
country about three years ago, and was married
about a year ago. lie was a worker in wood,
but not a good carpenter or cabinet-maker.
Serious AfirnY in Allegheny County—
A Negro Stabbed by at Whine !Nana
Mom the Pitt...L:llo vbrociele of this 9th
An affray of a serious character occurred about
nine o'clock this morning, at the house occupied
by a white man named John Johnson, on First
street, Third Ward, Allegheny, during which
I-itac Johnston, colored, was stabbed in foar or
the places. John Johnson is a teamster, and
the colored Johnston has been in his employ as a
driver for some months past, and boarded at the
house. The statements concerning the origin of
the affray seem to be rather conflicting, but the
facts appear to be as follows: A young girl called
at the house this morning on an errand, and after
She had gone the colored man inquired her name
and where she lived. Mr. Johnson informed tuna,
but _he replied that her statement was not true,
and began to swear vigorously. John Johnson,
who was in bed in an adjoining room, com
manded the colored man to keep quiet
or leave the house. The colored man be
cameo angry. and asserted his intention of
thrashing Johnson at once. He immedi
ately proceeded to Johnson's room, and com
menced an assault upon the latter while ho was
still in bed. A struggle immediately ensued,
during which Johnson succeeded in reaching
the floor, and the fight began in earnest. The
colored man used a chair as an offensive weapon,
and Johnson, it is alleged, drew a knife, and not
only defended hiMselt from - his - assallant_butin
turn became the attacking party, stabbing his
opponent repeatedly. The colored man then
rushed out of the room, and when
he reached the yard ho discovered
that he had been stabbed. He then
endeavored to get within reach of Jphnson again,
but the latter had barricaded the 'door of •the
room. He then made an attack upon the doors
and windows with sticks, and succeeded in
making considerable havoc. He then forced his
way into the house, and although bleeding pro
fusely vented his rage in demolishing the furni
ture. While thus engaged officers Lynch and
Stewart of the Mayor's police, who had been
notified of the disturbance, arrived on the ground
and took the Johnsons into custody.

The 'Whisky Itiots lit Tennessee-Troops
Sent to Assist the Revenue Collector-
Two Soldiers Killed.
• [Special Despatch to the New York Times.]
iillioxviLLE, Tenn., Monday, March 9.—1 tele
graphed you a few days since that three men had
been killed by the illicit distillers in Claiborne
county. The murdered mon were assisting the
revenue officers in the seizure of illicit distilleries,
'and were killed by the rioters, who made all at
tempt to-rescue-the property seized.
'Subsequently Collector_ bernethy accompanied
by Marshal. Lusk and a company of calvary, left
for the scene of the disturbance, for the purpose
of dispersing the rioters, arresting the distillers
and seizing the stills. I now have to report
that in another fracas which has taken place two
of the soldiers have been killed. Their names
are not given, and the details of the riot have not
reached me yet.
This is the same locality where the whisky
men recently captured the Collector and his
assistants, and held them in custody until they
paid several hundred dollars ransom. They are
determined to pay no revenue, and say they will
forcibly resist any force sent to seize their stills
and stock.
The latest returns from the county elections
show increased majorities for nearly ail of the
Radical Republican candidates.

late in the gold market today, and the flnetnatime were
from 1210; to 11(e,,, with the closing transactions prior to

attributed to the temperate discussion of the Alabama

Congress in relation to the finances. Tn the Senate Mr.

RtTIIENCEMENT INVE3TIGATION.
The Retrenchment Investigation.
Wpeciel Ek-mpateh to the l'hila. Evening Bulletin.)
WAMINGTON, Marsh 10.—Much Interest has
been manifested here in regard to the forthcom
ing report of the Committee on Retrenchment.
The Committee's attention was early directed to
examining into the nature and extent of the
fronds in the non-payment of the taxes on whisky,
and tobacco, how far government officials were
concerned and what remedy should be recom
mended. The investigation into this subject was
delegated to Mr. Van Wyck, of New York, and
that gentleman has prepared a very lengthy re
port, which be made to the full Committee at the
meeting to-day, and which will be presented to
the House to-day or to-morrow.
After citing the testimony taken before the
Committee of the Thirty-ninth Congress, as to
the collusion of officers of the Government with
dishonest parties, the report says: "The President
had abundant evidence in numerous cases, show
ing conclusively the unfaithfulness of many
officers, yet they are undisturbed. No effort has
been made to detect flagrant violations in cases
where individuals had amassed princely fortunes
by cunningly devised schemes. Instances of that
kind had been reported, yet not a single criminal
has been compelled to disgorge the fruits of his
crime—not one victim has been made to suffer
the pains and penalties of violated laws."
The report then says that, with honest pay
ment of the tax on whisky, two hundred million
dollars could have been realized, whereas only
twenty millions were received. All revenue offi
cers are not dishonest, and the Committee think
that did not the President stand like adamant to
protect his friends in office, Secretary McCulloch
and Commissioner Rollins could have prevented
much fraud. Dishonest officials exist mostly in
large cities, and not in the country districts.
Many frauds are consummated through bonded
warehouses. Few wareleimses are • lo
cated in districts where honest officials
have the control. The "ring" soon as
certain where they can store their whisky, ope
rate their schemes and be undisturbed. The
present law, therefore, from inherent defects and
fraudulent execution, is a failure. The
Committee think a great error was committed
by Congress when the tax was raised to two dol
lars per gallon. It should have been fifty cents.
The report goes into details, fully, to show the
various methods adopted by distillers to
swindle the Government. The report says that
some of the worst men receive appointments
as inspectors and agents, some who have lately
graduated from States' prisons, and others who
have been in the rebel service. Many cases are
then cited by the Committee which are illus
trations as to how these officials secure black
mail, and it says that whenever such
cases have come to the attention of Mr. Rollins,
he has asked their removal, but the President
has, in all cases, refused to do so, but, instead,
has encouraged such practices when these parties
would pay money into Democratic election
funds. As to the remedy, the Committee
recommend, first, a simplification of the system,
and the abolition of bonded warehouses, that
the great and rapacious army of officials may
be mustered out. Second, that the tax should be
materially reduced and collected at the still, es
timating the capacity. The tax should be fixed at
fifty cents per gallon. By this reduction double
the amount of revenue would be received. In
conclusion, the Committee say: "The great
temperanee and moral sentiment of the country
should favor a reduction of the tax. With
the increase of taxation drunkenness has
increased. Distilleries have wonderfully
multiplied, from 1,192 in 18G0 to over 3,000.
Small stills, not before in use, were introduced,
so that, at one time the coppersmiths of St.
Louis, Chicago, Cincinnati and other cities were
engsge on no other work. Private and public
integrity, morality and temperance will be pro
moted by a return to a small tax.

CITY BULLETIN,
STREET CLEANING.—The mild weather of the
past few days has given Mr. Bickley, the Street
Contractor, an opportunity of commencing ope
nations. He has taken advantage of the fact.
Early this morning men were sat to work on the
north side of Market street, at Delaware avenue,
where the snow had not been banked up in huge
piles as it has been in so many places about the
city. The men are working rapidly westward,
clearing away the mud and filth. As soon as the
snow and ice on Delaware avenue are suf
ficiently melted, that thoroughfare will be
cleansed. On other streets in the city the work
will also be commenced as soon as the ice moun
tains are sufficiently reduced to allow it. The
inlets have been kept open by the men in the
employ of Mr. Bickley during the winter, and in
many instances the iron gutters across the pas
singer railway tracks have been attended to in
the same manner.

Break lip In the Allegheny River at
Pittsburgh—A Tour Boat and Ferry
Boat 'stove In—Heavy Loss—A Mys
tery.
(From the Pltteburgh Diwpatelt of Nfßreh 9th.)
Early yesterday morning the ice in the Alle
gheny river broke above and came down with
great rapidity and force, causing danger to all
property lining the river. Between six and seven
o'clock, as near as we can learn, the ice opposite
the Point, on the Allegheny side—where skaters
gent rally congregate, broke in one large mass
with the force from above, swinging round to the
southern side of the Ohio. It stuck together welt
and near the mouth of Saw Mill run struck with
violence two boats that were lying up along the
shore there. The first struck was the old
ferry-boat Benton. belonging to the. Jones Ferry
Company. These boats have two hulls, and as
the boat was lying with the bow up stream, the
ice struck the larboard hull stowing tt - c,onsidcir= -
able bole in her, and the water rushing in, she
began to sink at once. Just below lay the tow
boat Leader, which had only been taken there
from the Monongahela wharf the evening before.
The hull of this boat was also struck and stoved
in, and in a` very short time the boat careened
over on her side, and was soon almost sub
merged. At one time it.was feared the Benton
would capsize, and to prevent it men wete about
to bore holes in the starboard hull, but the water
overflowing the deck ran in, and thus ahe was
held nearly upright.
All day crowds of people thronged the banks of
the - Allegheny; watching' the - progreint - of the.
masses of ice, and among the excitement, news
of which spread like wildfire, was the discovery
-by some boys of a box near the Allegheny shore,
containing the chopped-up body of a man. It
was reported that it was the body of Anthony
Freyvogle, who, it will be remembered, has been
missing for some time. The box and contents
were taken to tbo Allegheny Mayor's office, and
Coroner Clawson summoned. It turned out to be
the body of a colored man.
