TH33 PAY OF OUR JUDGES.
Considering the amount of work, and the
kind of work, they do, the worst paid people
in Pennsylvania are the Judges of the Courts.
An uneducated man, at a common business,
can,with common industry, make as much in
a year as the State pays to the Chief Justice.
A young• lawyer, with an average amount of
brains and brass, can make more by his prac
tice than the salary of any one of the Judges
in whose courts he may appear. Thus the
men selected from all the population, as the
most learned, the most upright and the best
qualified to decide upon all questions of
justice and law, have to live upon a pittance
which would be scorned by many of the
ignorant and uneducated men of the com
munity. The very clerks and other subor
dinate officers of the various courts, whose
duties are simply clerical or ministerial, make
more by their salaries and fees than the State
allOwito the Judges of the same courts.
The salary of
_n _Judge _of the supreme_
Court in Pennsylvania is, we believe, $5,500.
The salary of a Judge of one of the city
courts of Philadelphia is $5,000. These
Judges Jae all men of learning and
well-proved integrity. Their official duties,
c,onscientiously,performed as they are,require
all their time, and hey could not make money
by outside business,,if they were disposed to
do so. The Supreme Court Judges are
obliged to travel aver the State, to perform
their duties, and, the mileage allowed is no
compensation either for the actual expense
or for the deprivation of domestic comforts
involved. The Judges of the city courts
have scarcely any vacjstion. Unlike the
jgdges of the Courts ofSne interior counties,
they hose to work uninterruptedly, except
for a brief period in midsummer. There is
NI one of theta that Could not, if engaged in
practice as a lawyer, make twice or thrice as
much as his salary, and with less physics
labor, less mental anxiety and less sense of
responsibility.
The legislation of recent yearn has im
posed upon the Judges in Philadelphia duties
and responsibilities over and above those
contemplated in the creation of their offices.
They are now obliged to appoint the Guar
dians of the Poor, the Inspectors of Prisons,
the Controllers of Public Schools and other
officers, the selection of which by the people
themselves, or by other officers less trusted
by the people than the Judges, had proved
to be unfortunate and unsuccessful. It is no
small addition to - the cares and labors of a
—lndicikUJo_have.to-select these efficers from ,
among various candidates. They have done
it, without fear or savor, greatly to the satis
faction of the public; and they have, pro
bably, by their judicious selections, saved
much expense to the State Treasury. These
extra duties and responsibilities, well and
carefully performed, are worth well paying
for. If we continue to pay inadequately for
them, we shall find good, honest and learned
men refusing our judicial offices, and have
them hunted after, begged for, perhaps bribed
for, by men who may hope to make a good
thing out of the patronage of the bench. The
very apprehension of this has, we know,
made some good citizens look with uneasi
mess upon the various acts of legislation giving
the Judges the power to appoint to offices.
In the city of New. York, where the courts
are much less honorably filled than they are
in Philadelphia, the salaries paid to the
Judges are much larger. With one or two
exceptions, each Judge in New York receives
$lO,OOO per annum. We have better and
more learned Judges in Philadelphia, and we
ought to pay them at least as well. The Leg
islature, however, is only asked to give our
city Judges say $7,500 a year, and the Judges
of the Supreme Court $B,OOO a year. Con
sidering the changes of values in all the ne
cessaries of life, these are really smaller sala
ries than thiStale paid to the Judges thirty
years ago, when.lo3o it was. heavily in debt.
Now the State debt is -small for its popula
tion,its revenues are constantly increasing;and
it can afford to pay good salaries to good ofil
een. Above all, it ought to pay its honest,
learned and faithful Judges good wages for the
difficult and important work imposed upon
them.
WINE AIM ON THE 11.11RIPAGE.
If posterity depends upon some of the New
York illustrated papers for data upon which
to form Its impressions of the A.meriean peo
ple of A. D. 1868, it will conclude that such
of us as are not thieves and cut-throats are
praritzt "auk-guards or out-and-out_ luna-
ties. One of tie grossest monstrosities in the ,
Oothamite insane pictorial line, comes to us
in the shape of a view of the burning of
Birnum's Museum. The flames fire pouring
out of the lower windows in a way which
excites the suspicion that the "fat lady" and
"Circassian beauty," who are emerging from
the flames in their night gown!, are fourth
(the) proof salamanders: Fancy birds, which
by the way, naturally have a perverse
propensity for flying into conflagra
tions and not out from them, are
emerging from fierce flames with wide-spread
pinions all unsingedi , a tiger, that in respect
to claws, tail, teeth and whiskers world do
credit to an Asiatic jungle, is clearing a win
dow-sill at a bound. The gallant firemen,
who are represented as being as ready to save
suffering brute creation as they aro eager to
succor suffering beauty, are carrying off
grinning hyenas, ravening wolves, and wily
foxes in their stalwart arms; one lusty fellow,
in a fire-helmet and an able-bodied moustache,
is engaged in a hand-to-hand struggle with a
monstrous bird, evidently determined to
save the feathered giant or perish
in tilt" attempt. The baby elephant
is a prominent actor in the exciting
scene. The interesting quadruped seems
reluctant to leave his warm quarters, but a
party of firemen who are on duty are equal
to the emergency, and having got a "short
bitch" on "Baby," they are pulling away with
might and main upon the rope, evidently
bent upon doing or dying. By the way, it
is remarkable that firemen do always go pre
pared with ropes all ready to drag baby
elephants out of fires on short notice, and to
that end they are always on hand at the oppor
tune moment prepared to apply the cordage
as a persuader of impracticable elephantine
adolescence. Horses', it is generally, under
stood, have an insuperable prejudice against
leaving a building that is on fire; but Gotham
ite fire discipline must be too much for stub
born horse-flesh, for in our picture, we be
hold other gallant firemen, carrying a
full grown "'`teed bodily upon their
manly shoulders from the blazing Museum.
There is a'so an extensive stampede of dis
creet animals which had evidently deter
mined not to stand upon the order of their
going, but to go at once. They are going off
by twos and threes; and striking out the fat
woman, •the Circassian beauty, the fire and
the firemen, this cut knight be made to do
service when the same enterprising pictorial
sheet gets out a picture representing the
entrance of the animals into the ark. One
other curious feature of this calorified, orni
thological,zoological, oleaginous and hydrau
lic monstrosity in art must not be allowed to
pass unnoticed. The quadrupeds and bipeds
of the Barnum establishment have just been
aroused from their slumbers 'at the moment
which the artist seized upon for his great effort;
-the ladies are just getting out in their night
clothes: but the wide-awake firemen already
have two streams upon the flames, a condi l i
-
tion of things that can only be accounted for
on the presumption that they were on the
spot with steam up and hose laid, so as to be
all ready for action when an alarm should.be
given. Seriously, these artistic absurdities
are an insult to the intelligence, of the age, a
reproach to popular art and a pictorial legacy
for posterity that will cause our great-grand
children to blush for their ancestry.
GIRARD COLLEGE.
Where is the Girard College Report ? It
is now One weeks since the Investigating
Committee made their two reports to Cain
oils. The reports were presented, together
with the voluminous testimony on which
they were based, to Select Council, on the
20tti of February. They were not referred
or otherwise acted upon, and they are still
waiting for some gentleman in the Select
Chamber to call them up and have them dis
posed of, Why this has not been done, we
sic itt a loss to know. The community nas
hot forgotten tb,is Girard College business,
and will :Ibt forget it until it has been prop
erly and fairly disposed of. It is not a subject
about which there need be any delay. It is
thoroughly understood, and ought not to be
pushed off into a corner, from any considera
tion of policy, eialer personal or public. The
scandal which the ten Directors brought upon
the College by the publication of the card
which they have so failed to substantiate
with anything like proof,has gone all over the
country. That card Was eagerly republished
-wherever-them - was - a - feeling--of
the growing prosperity of Philadelphia, and
the best remedy for the wide-spread mischief
thus done, is a prompt repudiation of the
calumny by Councils. The minority
report of the Investigating Commit
tee embodies the only logical conclusions
which can be drawn from the evidence, and
it should be adopted by Councils, with the
resolution of censure that accompanies -:it..
Common. Council cannot reach this subject
until it is disposed of in the Select branch.
Will not some gentleman in that Chamber
call it up at the next meeting and save it from
the smothering process which it must neces
sarily undergo,unless some member comes to
is rescue ?
A REGISTRY EAWi
A. rood law for the registration of voters
has long been felt to be a necessity in Penn
sylvania. At least all honest men, who wish
that elections should be fair expressions of
the popular will, have felt this necessity.
The State Republican Convention, on Tues
day, adopted as part of its platform the fol
lowing resolution on the subject:
"Rezalved, That the purity of the ballot-box
should be carefully guarded, as of vital import
ance to the best Interests of the country, and that
this Convention deem a just and impartial
registry law to by necessary to protectus from
the astounding frauds which have heretofore
been perpetrated."
There have been many cases of • frandulent
voting in this State, which could have been
fully proved if there had been a proper Regis
try la*. In the Centre Senatorial district,
last year, there were outrageous frauds com
mitted by the Democrats, and their•despera
tion and audacity Were shown by the fact that
one of the witnesses before the investigating
committee was murdered immediately after
his return from Ilarrisburg. In, Luzerne
county, last October, there were flagrant
frauds committed, by means of which Judge
Woodward was declared elected to Congress.
In this city, at every election, there are simi
lar frauds committeo. The State Senate has
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN.--PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY MARCH 13, 1868. ,

passed a Registry law,and , it is to be expected
that it will also pass the House. As the
elections of next fall Will be among the most
important ever held, fs - partiddarly grati

helargorcities - andlowns - bavOteeome - ta
warm• for most of the illicit whisky distillers,
and they have followed 42e ,Irish precedent,
and transferred their operations to' the moun
tains and swamps, where the processeS are
carried on even more successfully,and greater
quantities are produced than ever before. In
the Southern cities the distillers are bolder
and more defiant than they are in the North,
encouraged, doubtless, by the popular hatred
of the Government, as well as by the disor
ganized state of society. Among the moun
tains of East Tennessee there have „peen sev
eral serious collisions lately between the dis
tillers and the authorities, in which a number
of men have been killed. The distillers have
combined and formed a military organizition,
with which they propose to defy the United
States Government. A second Whisky Re
bellion in fact has been inaugurated, and the
ferocity with which the outlaws have attacked
even the armed troops sent against them,
shows that they are in earnest, and mean to
fight for their whiskey to the bitter end. Of
course General Thomas will take instant mea
sures to suppress the outbreak, and the traffic
in that section will, in a great measure, be
broken up. But is the remedy an effectual
one ? The disease will disappear here, but it
will break out elsewhere. So long as there is
such a magnificent premium on rascality, just
so long will men assume all the risks and go
to any extremity to gain the reward. The
only true preventive is the reduction of
the tax to such a low figure that fraud will
not pay. Not only would this put an end to
villany, but there is reason to believe it would
actually increase the revenue, and sooner or
later this must be the plan alopted.
A step forward was taken by Councils, yes- •
terday, in the way of encouraging the Militia
movement. The Common Branch passed a
resolution, offered by Mr. Harper, to loan to
militia organizations in Philldelphia the
muskets which are now rusting in the City
Armory. In the Select Branch, the subject
was brought up and referred to the Committee
on Defence and Protection, to report the
names of companies desiring arms. We
pointed out, a few days ago, the importance
of this measure, and are glad to find that the
suggestion has been so well received in Coun
cils. There should, of course, be a
careful discrimination in the distribu
tion of arms, and the loan should
he made in such a way as to prevent
their abuse and to keep them within the call
of the city authorities whenever they may be
wanted. With these proper restrictions, the
loan of the city arms to regularly organized
_regiments_of_the_State_Militia_will_serve, to
preserve the arms in better order than now,
when they are stowed away to rust and be-
come otherwise damaged, and at the same
time to encourage, what we much need, the
formation of a body of citizen soldiery that
w ill be at once a protection and an honor and
ornament to Philadelphia.
If the discussion of the question of the set
tlement of the Alabama claims is ever re
opened between this country and Great
Britain, the government of the latter will
have to take the initiatory step. There is some
reason to hope that this will be done. The
Britons are progressing rapidly up to what,
in fact, is our ultimatum. The ministry of
Lord John Russell utterly refused to listen to
any proposal of reference of the , question to
arbitration. The Derby administration
ceded to our proposition to that effect, but
with a stubborn Less born entirely of pride,
'.. l :;clined to submit the question of the right of
the English government to recognize the
bogus Confederacy as a belligerent power.
We demanded that the whole subject should
be referred without reservation, but Lord
t-;tanley was peremptory in his refusal, and so
the matter was left. Perhaps the Disraeli
miuistry, even with the same Foreign Seem
tary, may, concede this point, and take a step
in advance of its predecessor. The recent
debate in Parliament, in which Lord Stan
ley's position was declared untenable and
absurd, looks as if popular sentiment would
render this policy necessary. England will,
'never - feel•entirely comfortable uptil the -Ties- .
tion of these claims is settled. She knows we
will never recede from our position, and
there is a vague notion that the matter may
remain undisposed of until it will, some day
or other, be made a pretext for war.
Hon. Richard Vaux was one of the Demo
cratic orators sent from Philadelphia to
stump New Hampshire, and a discerning
public may see in this fact some bearing
upon the result of the election of Tuesday.
Mr. Vaux wrote to Baltimore, regretting that
he could not be present at the meeting of
ox-rebels held there on the 4th inst, to sustain
and comfort poor Andrew Johnson. In his
letter he came "down upon" the Radicals
and "the rebellion of the so-called Congress"
in true Vanxine style, and his eloquent words
are now quoted with praise all over the
South, by all the panegyrists of
Davis and Johnson. But Mr. Vaux
is evidently not estimated as highly
in more northern latitudes. In New Hamp
shire, at all events, his labors have been in
vain, for the Democracy has been floored
there completely. The Republicans might
well wish that there were more men like Mr.
Vaux in the ranks of the Democracy. But
unfortunately there is but one Vaux. "None
but himself can be his parallel." But it is to.
he hoped that he will continue to stump
the different States for the Democracy. Let
him go to Connecticut,and our triumph there
will be assured. In the fall we shall want
him in Pennsylvania.

Diamond Slobbery in New Teak.
[From the New York Herald of today.]
Two men, whose acquaintance the police are
particularly desirous of forming, yyesterday after
noon entered the establishment of John-Heitner,
diamond and jewelry setter, in Broadway, and
inquired for the proprietor. One of the clerks,
who happened to be behind the counter, politely .
informed them that Mr. Heittier had gone out,
but that he would return to the store in
a short time--could they not wait until
he came back ? Of course they could, and
they did wait, much to the losaof the proprietor. .
In one of the cases on the counter there wore
several trays containing diamonds, and the gen
tlemen in search of Mr. Heitner declared them
selves very highly pleased with their general ap
pearance. Would the clerk be so kind as to
show the precious stones to them? Two
of the bags, containing , diamonds worth
$8,500, were placed before them, with,
•the inexpressible astonishment of the
clerk the two men placed them under
their coats and darted out of the store
as if they were afraid that the proprietor
they a few moments before wanted to see would
come in a little sooner than would snit their con
venience. It is almost needless to state that when
the clerk had sufficiently recoveredvfrom his as
tonishment to give an alarm, the bold strangers
had made good their escape. The detectives have

Doctor Dwindle stated that he had boon called
to attend him three times dnring•the last summer
for temporary insanity. it was necessary at
times to keep him under strict watch for four or
live days, when ho would become entirely re-
Hewed, and attend properly to his daily duties.
Other testimony was brought to show that within
the last two or three days he had exhibited
marked symptoms of insanity, particularly on
Monday and Tuesday, but there was no appre

deceased came to his death by a pistol shot tired

The Milwaukee' Suicide—Additional
Particulars.
[From the Milwaukee WlHromin, March 10th.1
Yesterday afternoon a coroaer's jury' was
ernpannelled to hold an inquest on the body of
Louis Sheffer, who committed suicide yesterday.
James Ryan testified that about eleven o'clock
yesterday morning he found the deceased sitting
in his (Ryan's) office, that they went out and
drank two glasses of beer each, and cieb smoked
a cigar. They then returned to the office, when
the deceased lay down on a sofa, saying that lie
had poisoned himself. Deceased, after shoot
ing himself, handed to witness a roll of bills and
a scaled letter expressing a' wish that they be
given to his wife, and then expired. The bills
being counted amounted to 8345. The letter was
directed to Charles and Albert &heifer, St. Paul,
Minn., and was opened by the jury and read. The
character of the penmanship showed the writer to
have been in a high state of excitement. It was
written in German, and Informed the brothers of
the deceased, of the deed he intended to do; spoke
of on insurance of 4'420,000 which he had se
cured upon hie life, and told where the policies
could be obtained; and from it, it was learned
that just before he committed the act be sent the
book-keeper of Mr. Ryan to pay up another
policy upon his life. The letter in conclusion
commended in touching terms the wife anti
children of the deceased to the care and protec
tion of his brothers. and added that although he
lost been_ weak enorig_h to take a Mae step,
he was • still strong enough -- — C6 dti
the fatal act, whichhe did. The witness said that
the deceased had lately labored under great men
tal excitement, and on being questioned as to
whether the dying man gave to him any explan
ation of the Motive which led him to commit the
rash deed, lie stated that he did,bnt was not will
ing to give them to the jury unless it was neces
sary. The coroner insisted, ant reque,ted all
except the jury to leave the room.
The verdict of the jury, after having been in
session most of the afternoon, was that the de
ceased came to his death from the effects of a
ball discharged from a pistol fired by his own
hand.
A Reign of Terror in_ TeNos—Barbari-
ties of the Indians.
A correspondent of the San Antonio (Texas)
I . prtrs writes from Fredericksburg, in that State,
as iO/10WE:
"You can, if you think it would interest any
one, chronicle a new series of the usual frontier
murders and atrocities worse than murder. re
cently committed in this vicinity. From Kerr
county, about twenty-five miles west of here, re
ports are brought in that the Indians are at work
—had murdered an old lady named Alexander,
burned down her house, severely wounded her
daughter who ran the gauntlet and escaped,
arore off stock, &c.
"Creditable reports also come from the Bandy
Creek settlements, about twenty-five miles north
east of here, that on Wednesday last twenty or
twenty-five savages surrounded the house of Jokn
Friend ' in which were the young families of
Friends and two Johnsons. lira. F. attempted
resistance, but the savages rushed in, shot an ar
row through her body, tore off her scalp down
to her ears, left her in agony and to supposed
death; took the other two women, with their
sister, a girl of fifteen years, and two or three
small children away as prisoners; revelled in
outraging, murder, and leaving their mangled
bodies along the trail for about seven miles, and
then continuing their raid below. More victims
probably lie along the trail.
"Yesterday morning our citizens awoke to
fitid that during the night a party of Indians had
passed through this town, breaking through the
lots back of the houses along Main street, and
taking out six or eight hoe sea and mules. A
party of ten men followed these Indians about
tyrenty•five or thirty miles west of here, but
came on a large body, numbering sixty or
eighty, apparently iiickapoos, and had to re
treat.
"The country seems full of savages, fierce for
carnage. Wives and children from among us are
now captives, our property gone; and still there
is no safety but only terror, and no government
with sense 01 honor or common humanity to in
terpose."
A Magiclakes llrlek—Anderson not
Dead—An Elopement but no ITllurder,
no Isuiade and no nonoy.
The Meadville R , litibliCUit saps : On Tuesday
we reported the news of the elopement of Prof.
Anderson's wife witb a man named Norris, and
the telegraphic statement that Anderson had
killed his child and committed suicide.
By lateradvices it appears that the message was
only a ruse to decoy the happy "birds" into the
bands of the "fowler," and it did. The guilty
"twain" took theoback track, and at Middletown,
Ohio, behold the unfortunate husband wbo had
(by report) murdered his little child and blown
out his own brains, appeared before the aston
ished counie.-arti-tool-LA Etat in the omnibus op
posite-thim. The scene Caiflib - better - iniagiiietr
than described. Suffice that the Professor di
rected his would-be successor to fork
over what stamps be might have belonging to the
late Mr. A.; whereupon, as report bath, it, he
shelled out some $3,500. The Professor seems to
have been quite satisfied with the blood already
shed, as he did not proceed to blow out the brains
of the man who had run away with his wife.
The unfortunate woman passed through this city
going East on her way home, it is hoped a wiser
and better woman. As for the Professor he has
erformed : a - little piece of sleight-of-hand which
has eclipsed anything laid down in this "posture."
Mrs. Anderson is quite good looking, and
young. She appeared greatly dejected when the
news reached her of the death of her husband
and child, and as she returned on her way East,
she. was a forlorn object. She is cast off by her
husband and has been abandoned - by the graceless
scamp that lured her away.

PREPARATIONS IN THE SENATE,
The Senate Beady to Proceed..
?HE HOUSE NOTIFIED.
[Special Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. .
WASHINGTON, March 13.—At an early hour this
morning Washington assumed that active and ex_
'cited. appearance for which it was so noted
during that period of the recent war, when the
city was heurly anticipating an attack from the
rebel hosts. Notwithstanding the fact was
well known that no person would be admitted to
the &nate without a tielLet, it served not to keep
multitudes from hastening there with the very
faint hope of obtaining anti ance. The doors to
the Senate wing of the Capitol were thrown open
at 11 o'clock, and throngs of people hastened
through the halls and corridors to the galleries.
The police arrangements were excellent, and the
scene was not marked -with - that violent dem
onstration so often witnessed at "the
Capitol. The Senate Chamber pre
'sented a somewhat changed appearance.
In the rear of the Senators' desks 150 chairs had
been placed in scant-circle order for the members
of Congress, while in front, on each side of the
main aisle, long tables bad been placed, one for',
the President's counsel and one for the Board of
Managers.
At 12 o'clock, when the Senate was called to
order, twenty Senators were at their desks, while
the galleries were entirely filled, with the excep
tion of the Diplomatic galleries. It was notice
able
that no colored people were admitted into
the galleries, and that two-thirds of those present
- were-lad leo r hut-few -gentlemen, being fortunate
enough to obtain tickets. Very little interest was
manifested in the proceedings of the Senate for
the first hour, and the ladies in the galleries kept
up a continued but subdued conversation, requir
ing the presiding officer to rap vigorously with
his gavel several times, to get order.

FISK, BELDEN & CO.
[From to-day's World.]
MAncirll--The chief topic of discussion in Wall street
and business circles is the artificial stringency in the
money market, engineered for stock-lobbing purposes by
unscrupulous stock gamblers and their brokers. This
affair of stringency. in loans affects directly the whole
bisinereCOffinninity outside of Wall street :to well as in
side of it, and indirectly every borrower in the United
titatts, because New York. being the money centre, gives
tone to all the markets in other cities. These stock-job
ping proceedings are condemned by every one, and the
brokers employed by Mr. Drew have seen fit to publish
cards disclaiming all complicity in this disgraceful affair.
Messrs. Fisk & Belden, the brokers of Mr. Drew also
publish a card fin , ing fault, with the President of the
Tenth National Bank for making the public acquainted
ith their part in this matter of locking up greenbacks.
which they coolly call "exposing our private affairs with•
out justification or excuse." The community differs with
Messrs. Fisk & Belden, and approves of the course pur
sued by the President of the' enth National Bank. An
other banking firm in Wall street, near William, has
been borrowing heavily and relending at usurious rates—
seven per cent. interest and one-eighth per cent. per day
—ard their operations have aggravated materially the
loss and embarrassment of borrowers.
The money market in the morning was as stringent as
yesterday, 7 per cent., being the minimum on Govern
ments, and „ki, per cent, commission and 7 per cent. in
gold were paid freely on other collatersis until about one
when-there-was a sensible - easing up and other
symptoms , , until the close of the day evidenced that the
worst of the pinch was over. Firms in this city have
been notified from Philadelphia and Boston that con.
siderable sums are at their service. and in the course of a
few days the money market will doubtless resume its
former ease.
it is staled that Mr. Drewbaa moved 56,000,000 from
'New York and placed that sum on deposit in Jersey City,
but it is scarcely creditable that any business man would
trust so large a sum out c f the New York City banks. The
report is not properly authenticated Messrs. Drew. El.
dridge and Otis. the Treasurer, President, and Secretary
.of the Erie Railroad lioropany, are said to be in Jersey
City with the books - and Rinds of the company. so aa - o
be safe from injunctions and legal proceedings in New
York.
.1 he Government bond market was feverish in th
morning, but at the close of the day prices had ovi
dently touched bottom. as they hardened. and the
market closed strong, with a decided tendency up
wards. Nome large blocks of Governments which
have been banging over the market for some days,
were disposed of to strong buyers who have been
bolding off from buying for some time past The
rvlaxation in the rates for money and the symptoms of re
f erring ease, which were quite marked at the close of the
der, bare doubtless influenced the sudden and sharp
charge for the better in the Government bond market, as
the recent decline in priers was caused solely by strin
genev in loans end minds being in the hands of weak and
tiypid holders who are now cleared out of the market.
and i , is again in the hands of strong and influential
dealers.

WASHINGTON, March 13.—After all the Sena
tors bad taken the oath, the Sergeant-at-Arms,
by direction, called in a loud voice, "Andrew
Johnson!" the accused, three times, without any
response, being given. On motion, his coun
sel were then 'notified to appear, and they did
so, being H. Stanbery, Judge Nelson, of Ten
nessee, and Judge Curtis, of Massachusetts. They
took their seats at the tables assigned them.
Judge Stanbery then arose, and amid profound
silence said that by direction of the President he
was engaged as counsel. Mr. Staribery then
read a statement from Andrew Johnson,
asking that at least forty days be granted him
to prepare his case; also, a paper signed by the
the President's counsel, Stanbrry, Nelson, Curtis,
Evarts, and Jerry Black, stating that this time
asked for by the President was absolutely neces
sary for counsel, in order to prepare all the
pointy. The paper detailed, at length, the time
allowed Judge Chase to appear when he was ar
raigned for impeachment.
At the conclusion of Mr. Stanbery's remarks,
Mr. Bingham, from the Board of Managers, arose
and said that, under the Bth rule adopted, after
the accused appeared, he should not ask for an
extension of time, but shall answer.
Judge Nelson then said that if this construction
was placed upon this rule, the counsel for the
President had been misled entirely.
Mr. Wilson, from the Managers, then answered,
taking the same view as Mr. Bingham. This led
to further debate, and the indications are that it
v.lll occupy the attention of the Court during
the greater part of to-day.
LATl:l2.—After the conclusion of the debate the
question whether the President should be allowed
the time asked for, was put by the Chief Justice
to the Court, but Senator Edmunds moved that
time be given to the Ist of April, instead of forty
days. Senator Morton moved that the Court
retire and consult on the question. Agreed to,
and the Court left the Senate Chamber, accom
panied by the Chief Justice.
SLIM Congress... Second Session.
WASHINGTON, March 13
SEICATE.—The favored ticket-holders to seats
in the galleries commenced pouring into
the capitol by 10 o'clock, and by 11 o'clock the
ladles' gallery was packed by as brilliant an audi
ence as upon a full dress opera - night. -- None -
were permitted to pass the Supreme Court door
without a ticket, and guards were placed
at half a dozen points from thence
on to the entrance of the gal
leries. A heavy police force was on hand, and
the rules were rigidly enforced, and - hundreds of
strangers, ignorant of the necessity of obtaining
tickets, were turned back disappointed. The
Senators' seats were arranged as before. In the
open space in front of the President's chair are
two long tables, each furnished with seven chairs.
One of the tables is intended for the Managers,
and the other for the counsel. Back of the Sen
ators' seats and filling the entire lobby, aro about
two hundred chairs for the 'accommodation of
the members of the House, the judiciary and
•others en titled to the floor.
Senators Howard and Anthony were in their
seats early, and by one o'clock half the Senators
had appeared and ranged themselves in little
knots discussing the momentous business of, the
day.
It is noticeable that not a single negro is in the
galleries. The section usually occupied by them
is filled with ladies. There is no rush and no
crowding of door aisles. Everything is con
ducted with perfect order and decorum.
The chaplain invoked a blessing upon those
now entering upon this high and important duty,
and upon whom rest the eyes of the country and
of the world, that they may be guided by Divine
wisdom, that all their acts may , be characterized
by justice, and that the High ....ourt may be led
to such a verdict as God will approve, and to
a bleb all the people shall respond heartily,
"Amen."
Mr. Johnson (Md.) presented the petition of
the Color.ization Society, praying that the Post

Mr. Trumbull (Ill.) called up the bill for the
relief of the heirs of Asbury Dickens, making an
appropriation on account of his having acted as
Secretary of the Senate. ,
Mr. Trumbull offered an amendment providing
that none ef_theeheirewhisrho.ve taken part in the
late rebellion, nor their assignees, shall par
ticipate in the benefit of this apt. Which was
agreed to.
The bill, after some . discusition, was passed.
Un motion of Mr. Morrill (Me.), the Senate in
slat( d on its amendments to the. Consular and

In this great ac i d. solemn day In the history of

men to whom the destinies of the lam] are
expressly committed in ' this great trans
action. Grant unto them esp , ecial wis
dom for the special occasion, and may all
the world be led to see in the issue of this
great trial that righteousness prevails over
all passion and prejudice and party interest; that
everything here is decided on Its merits as judged
by the principles of eternal right, and may the
land be presented as an example of one that does
justice in the fear of God and with proper regard
to the rights of the nation and the rights of man.
Mr. Farnsworth (Ill)., asked that the reading.
of the journal be dispensed with, but Mr. El
dricige (Wis.) objected, remarking that he under
stood that a bill had been rushed through yes
terday, without the knowledge of the House, al
luding to the amendment to the bill to atnendthe
Judiciary act, taking appellate power from the
Supreme Court in certain cases.
inc following conference committees were ap
pointed by the Speaker:
On the bill for the relief of Greathouse de Kelley,
Messrs. Farnsworth, Terry, and Johnson, of
California.
On the Consular and Diplomatic Appropriation
bill,Mesers.Washbu me (Ill.), Beaman and Morgan.
Mr. Kelley (Pa.) presented the petition of six.
slaves of the late George U. P. Curtis, setting
forth that they had labored on his Arlingford
(state severally from 35 to 59 years without
wages, and had frequently been promised pro
vision on the estate for their old age, and pray
ing Congress to grant to each of them a home
stead of 20 acres out of the estate, which is now
the property of the United States.
Mr. Myers (Pa.) . presented the petition of three
hundred employes of the Morocco manufacturers
in the Third District of Pennsylvania, asking
that goat skins and sumac may be imported free
of duty.
The Speaker presented the resolutions of the
Georgia Constitutional Convention asking a loan
of 8100,000 for the South Georgia and Florida
Railroad. Referred to the Committee on Appro
priations.
Mr. Holman (Ind.), from the Conference Com
mittee en the bill for the relief of Mrs. Gen. Ander
son, for depredations committed in the Seminole
war, on the property of her father, General
Clinch, made a report, the substance of which
is, that $15,000 be paid to Lam Anderson, in trust
for the exclusive use of Mrs. Eliza B. Anderson,
during her life-time, the remaining at her death
to be held in trust for her children.
Mr. Cobb (Wis.) opposed the - report, and stated
to the House the Meta in the case, from which It
appeared that General Clinch had lett eight heirs,
seven of whom were residing in the rebel States
and had been adherents of the rebel cause, and
had given to Mrs. Anderson a sort of mongrel
document between an assignment and a power of
attorney, that the claim was
a vague and indefinite one, for injuries to
Gen. Clinch's plantation , in Florida in 1832 and
1863 L and that there was no evidence whatever
in the case/ that would entitle a patty in - a court
to any kind of relief. Not a single paper in the
case bad ever been read or examined, nor any re
port made on the ease in the Committee
on Clams, of which he is a member. The claim
was _based._ not _ on kis** but lobbying.
It bad been before Congress for a great nurabei
of years, but had never passed the House till
now; that it was taken np and sought to be
passed on the merit of a distinguished general
- who happened to be the husband of one-of the
claimants.
Mr. Holman had the preamble to the bill read'
as containing the facts on which the bill rested-

stated that both Houses passed yesteretapart
amendment to a bill concerning appeals in In
ternal Revenue cases, precluding the Supreme ,
Court of the United States, from entertaining
appeals heietofore, or which shall hereafter
be made from the Circuit Courts. The
Democrats of the House this mor
ning express their surprise that such
an important measure should go through the
Douse without their knowing its purport.. In.
other words, that it should have quietly escaped
their attention, no voice having been raised in.
opposition to it. They say that the MeArdie and
other similar cases will be excluded from the
Supreme Court when the bill shall become a law.
