EVENING BULLETIN.
Monday, 11larch 15, 1868,
TELE TENNESSEE TROD B LES.
Congress has called for the correspondence
between Generals Grant and Thomas, which
was first made public by the special des
patches of the EVENING Bor.t.ETIN on Satur
day
last. There is much anxiety and curi
osity to know the extent and nature of the
troubles in Tennessee. They are evidently
sufficiently serious to impose graver respon
sibilities on General Thomas than he was
willing to assume without the sanction of his
commanding officer. General Grant appears
to have acted promptly and inde
pendently, and to have authorized the use of
all necessary force for the preservation
of the peace and the protection of the State
government. It is not at all remarkable or
unreasonable that Mr. Johnson's-name should
at once be connected with any mischievous
plot which may be hatched in Tennessee.
It is the field where he is most at home and
where he could aid any conspiracy most
secretly and effectively. Driven to his last
ditch, as he now is, despairing of escaping by
any lawful proceedings, advised by his own
ounsel to abandon his hopeless fight with
Congress and the people, he is quite capa
ble of resorting to any wicked scheme
which seems to offer a shadow of hope.
The hope is desperate enough, and should
the President's friends in Tennessee put them
selves in the attitude of resistance to law just
now, it will only be to expedite the downfall
of the man who is already doomed to destruc
tion. The country is thankful that General
(rant stands between it and the danger that
threatens it through Mr. Johnson's machina
tions. With a different sort of man at the
bead of the army no one can tell what disas
ters Andrew Johnson might bring upon us.
The mere suggestion of such troubles as are
reported from Tennessee ought to convince
Congress of the pressing importance of the
=mediate suspension of the President.
ECCLESIASTIcAL DIGNITY.
It has been argued lately in some quarters
that the secular press has nothing to do with
the proceedings of the various religious bodies
of the country. The argument confesses a
fear of coming into the broad light of popular
criticism, and demands an immunity for a
single class which is awarded to no other in
this land or in this day. It is not necessary
to go into any counter-argument to show the
right of the public press to_ discuss whatever
_
iiiihne interest. It will alwayabhdone; -
under our free institutions, and so long as it
is done fairly, dispassionately and in
telligently, no good cause will suffer
by it. All the various religious bodies
are glad tit have the proceedings of their
councils, chventions, assemblies and con
, )trences,their anniversaries, and their various
solemnities, spread forth gratuitously through
the medium of the secular press, and no other
argument than this is needed to establish the
right to comment upon and criticize pro
ceedings thus made the common property of
the public.
The Tyng case, which was brought to 'a
close on Saturday last, has been made a sub
ject of public notoriety, from the beginning,
by the explicit choice of the defendant and
---his friends:--They-elected-to make the trial
nn open one, and the community at large has,
consequently, been entertained for several
weeks with the spectacle of an inter-necine
war in the bosom of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, remarkable, chiefly, for the total ab
sence of all semblance of ecclesiastical dig
nity. The trial of Mr. Tyng, before a Court
consisting of several clergymen, was more
like a political mass-meeting than a grave
ecclesiastical body, investigating a point of
canon law. The crowd applauded or hissed
as their inclinations led them, and all the
usual and unusual - appliances were resorted
to, to preindice one wside of the case or the
ether, and to bias and • control the action
of the Court. The columns of the
daily press were filled with '
commu
nications and poetical squibs, many
of which were very tinny, but none of
which added anything to the dignity of
either the actors or the occasion of the trial.
The trial was concluded and Mr, Tyng
was convicted of a breach of the canon In
question. On Saturday an extraordinary
finale to this extraordinary performance-was
enacted at the Church of the Transfiguration
in New York, when Bishop Potter delivered
the "admonition," which was consequent
upon the finding of the Court. The proceed
ing will be found in another column, and
there will be few connected in any 'way with
the Episcopal Church who will road them
without a keen sense of humiliation.
The admonition of Bishop Potter Was calm,
dignified and extremely kind and affectionate
Imiticstertrig'it
uty of a
in Its tone, an(
was evidently a very unpleasant one. Up to
its close the proceedings appear to have Veen
quiet, orderly and strictly decorous. But as
the Rector of the church began the closing
collects, the Rector of Bt. George's, the Rev.
Dr. Tyng,commenced to read a protest,which
was silenced by the Bishop ordering the con
tinuance of the prayers. The moment the
benediction was pronounced a rush was made
for Mr. Tyng, and a scene of 'confusion and
disorder ensued, in which hisses and ap
plause and noise were mingled, and
this dignified assembly was finally dispersed
bJ the police. The close of the Stubbs
versus-Tyng case was in consistent keeping
with its beginning.
Meartime an effect goes out upon the com
munity at large which cannot be supposed to
be very beneficial lo the cause of "pure reli
gion and undefiled." Good wen will grieve
and bad men will scoff at the whole tone and
temper of these undignified proceedings; but
whoever looks for those traits of meekness
and patience and good-will and brotherly
kindness and , Christian charity, and that
noble dignity which belong of right to the
truths which the Episcopal Church, in com
mon with other denominations, professes to
teach, must look elsewhere than in the eccle
siastical court proceedings and party move
ments of New York.
TILE INCOME T.
The intense interest felt in the impeachment
trial should not prevent the people of this
country from making their views clearly un
derstood on other points. The Committee of
Ways and Means is now engaged in settling
the taxation of the country for another year,
at least, and it is fully time that the income
tax, understood, when imposed, to be tem
porary in its nature, should be removed.
Of all the taxes imposed, the income tax is
that of which it is most impossible for the
Government to tell the exactness of payment.
The consequence is that it falls heaviest on
those who,honestly make their returns, whilst
those who are inclined to cheat are enabled to
do so with comparative impunity.
The inquisitorial nature of this tax has made
it especially odious. Taxation is at best not
a palatable thing, and it is the duty of all gov
ernments to make it rest as lightly as possible
on the public. This is so far from being the
case with the income tax that it may be said
that it has with itself almost every evil con
comitant which can aggravate the burden of
a tax. For it is
First—Liable to great fraud, bearing hard
on the honest, and permitting the unprincipled
to escape.
Second—lt is
. a double tax. After rents,
for example, have paid an enormous local
taxation, they are subjected to the income
tax, and ao with many other sources of
profit.
Third—lt compels unneceskary and in
jurious disclosures of business, which may in
themselves do a man of business an injury
exceeding the amount of the tax itself.
Fourth—lt involves a great degree of labor
to make a correct statement, and farther, a
man is required to make an exact statement
under oath of a fact, viz.: the amount of his
income,which it is almost impossible for him
to make with exactness. ' This is extremely
annoying for a conscientious man, and to the
dishonest smooths the way for deception.
In a word, this is universally felt to be a
peculiarly harsh and oppressive tax, one of
those impostions that make taxation odious.
And the total amount collected in this way
does not begin to make up for the whisky
frauds. A fair tax on whisky, resolutely
collected, would more than make up for the
revenue lost by remitting the income tax.
As to the difficulty of collecting the whisky
revenue, it is mere folly to talk of it : no se
rious effort has ever been made. if every
illicit distiller detected and convicted was
fined so heavily as to be impoverished.
and to suffer a , ; long imprisonment, there
would be little difficulty in collecting the tax.
But as it is, the profits are so enormous that,
immense sums are realized, and in some way,
the implisonment is rarely inflicted.
We ask, therefore, that the load of taxa
tion ire —better — distributed, -- and.
daily that this particular form of it be re
moved as being unwise, unequal and unjust.
VOTERS IN ItICHRIOND.
A registration of voters in Richmond, Vir
ginia, ordered by. General Schofield, was con
cluded en Saturday. The whole number re
gistered was ]3,]78, of which 6,607 were
negroes and 0,571 whites; negro majonty 36.
This makes the two •races so evenly divided
in the ex-Confederate capital, that when the
long promised "war of races" begins, it will
be a fair fight there at least. The rebel papers
of Richmond have been frantically calling on
the white citizens to register. On Saturday,
the last day of registration, the Enquirer
declared that "the white inhabitant of Rich
mond who permitted it to pass without de
manding his birthright, would - by such - sin
of omission, take rank, voluntarily, below
the meanest and most ragged negro who
would that morning beg his daily ration of
soup from the presiding divinity of the
soup-kettle." It also declared that
every one failing to register committed a
"crime against hie race, the hue of which
would grow blacker and blacker each year
of his life." Be would be "spotted and justly
despised, as one who loved negro domination
more than ho did the honor of his State and
the supremacy of the race whose virtues have
placed the fame of Virginia beyond and above
the bate, envy and rage of her base enemies."
By such savage rbodomontade the Rlehmond
editors succeeded in getting a very full regis
try of the whites. But they have also suc
ceeded in exciting more angry feeling be
tween theyivo races than has ever before been
known; for the abuse of the negroes has been
of the vilest and vulgarest character. If, in
the future, any conflict arises between whites
blacks, the public will be able to attribute
it to. its true cause—the course of' the so
called "conservative" editors of Richmond.
If Mr. Johnson is convicted and re
moved, an he undoubtedly will be, we shall
have a very singular person for President of
the United States, in Mr. Benjamin P. Wade
THE' DAILY EVENING BIILLETIN.-IHILADELPHIA, MONDAY AT ,Cll 1( 1 , . 114;8.
—at least if we_ are to judge of him by, a de-
scription given by a voluminous corrnspond
ent of a morning/ paper in this city.
_Mr.
Wade is "a man without origin or destiny,"
or was so forty years ago. Among Ameri
cans "Topsy" was supposed to-enjoy_theLsole_
privilege of not having an origin, but Mr.
Wade not only infringes her patent, but ac
tually dispenses with a destiny beside. His
personal appearance is very striking. He
has but one ear, and that a "big" one.
His ,hair is so tough that it prefers
weg off to turning gray. His complexion
is "wind-beaten," and he has one eye. He is
also "Vice-President," a fact worth knowing,
although no explanation is given of the method
by which he become such. Moreover,' he
manifests the results of thirty years of obsti
nacy by the way in which he strikes the desk
with his gavel and so announces that' it is one
o'clock. Mr. Wade, notwithstanding his
numerous personal peculiarities and defects,
will make a very much better President than
the man who, having two eyes and two ears,
and an origin and a destiny beside, has only
used them for his own disgrace and for the
troubling of the people.
"The Streets of Philadelphia," if put on
the stage in their present condition, would
not present a very savory or attractive series
of tableaux. The steady thaw of the past
fortnight has removed most of the ice and
snow that had accumulated during the win
ter; but the disappearance of these has re
vealed mud, refuse and rubbish of all kinds
in quantities rarely before seen. It is grati
fying to see a beginning made towards the re
moval of this filth from some of the principal
streets. But the work ought to be hurried
on all over the city. The heat of the sun, op
erating on the accumulations of mad,
will be very sure to engender disease. An
army of scavengers might be set to work
with advantage, and thus work could be
given to some thousands of laborers eager for
jobs, while, at the same time, a good thing
would be done for the cleanliness and health
fulness of the city. The cholera is prevail
mg in the West Indies and in other parts of
the world, and it might be tempted to estab
lish itself in Philadelphia by the inviting
miles of noisome mud in our streets. Set the
scavengers to work by thousands, and let
them also be allowed to open the various tire
plugs and wash away what the brooms and
the carts leave behind.
In Utah the somewhat singular spectacle is
presented of a territory which has two com
plete governments. One is the Territorial
Legislature and the other the "Legislature of
the State of Deseret." Precisely what the
object of the existence of these two bodies is,
it is rather difficult to determine. The Terri
torial Legislature meets and passes a few laws,
and then the State Legislature begins its ses
sions, and conscientiously affirms and sanc
tions the acts of its predecessor. The only
Possible solution of this absurd arrangement
is to be found in the fact that the Mormons
have striven for many years to obtain admis
sion to the Union as a State, and while they
cherish the hope still, though denied the
boon, they do the next beet thing, which is
to play at a government they cannot have in
reality, and arrange the machinery so that
they will be Accustomed to it and have it in
working order whenever Congress chooses to
admit them. In point of fact, Utah actually
has four governments: the two alluded to
above; that of the United States, exercised
over her as a territory; and the spiritual and
temporal tyranny of Brigham Young. And
this seems to prove conclusively the assertion
that the smaller the amount of government
the better the people; for with all her rulers
Utah probably contains more original and
adopted sin than any other one division of the
American continent.

Holy Trinity, corner of Forty-second treet
and Madison avenue, was crowded yegday
morning with an assemblage of the most Sidon
able attendants of divine service in thicity.
Every pew contained one or more than its toted
number, and stools were placed by busy•ittons
along the aisles to accommodate the ruabf re
ligious sensationists who had ..gathere titici
patirg that Mr. Tyng would allude toe
late
c,
trial in which he appeared so pr tint,
or , to his more recent "admoni ''' by,
Bishop Potter. In this they were sa ap
rine
pointed. After the usual introducto rvices
of morning worship were gone throoh—
the large congregation impressively joii-Mr.
Tyng approached the desk in the cen of the
pulpit, and, while eager eyes looked etautly
e it
and complacent countenances indicat e com
mencement of a spicy feast, said in asing but
distinct manner: "It is hardly necessa for me
to :say , to my own people and Sera ac

the church followed this, attesting disappoint
ment of some and the dlsgust of offs, but, con
tinuing, Mr. Tyng, just as the sweat had been
darkened by the mist of the orning broke
through its cloud shadow, smug its genial
light with a peculiar effect, upti the brilliant
toilets within the church—an ono not unnoticed'
by the preachet-,announced Mgt as the Bth
verse of the 'l4th chapter of umiah—"o the
hope of Israel. the Saviour of in time of
trouble, why shouldst thou b a stranger in
the land, and as a wayfaring n that turneth
= aside to , tarry , for a night ?" m this Mr. Tyng
preached an'eloquent sorra f exhortation in
.reference to the nearness o Ist toI His fol
lowers on earth, and His 1 mercy to all be

The Memware River at Trenton.
Mom the Trenton Gazette, March 14110
All dongerof — a freshet - from- a jam of - broken
ice mny now be said to he past. The ice which
hod locked the river fast for weeks broke up on
dnesday night, and with the exception of
sonic along the banks has mostly gone down the
river and out to sea. We understand that the
river is open up as far as Easton, and by this
time it is probably open a long distance above
that place, When Me ice burst up on Wednes
day night h came tearing along in' suet vast
jumbled masses, borne crunching and roaring
int sistibly along by the water, that when it en
countered the flood-tide, a short distance below
the city, it piled up tremendously, and the back
water soon caused a rise in the river, between
that point and up some distance above the new
bridge, of several feet. The rapidly accumulated
waters, however, soon brake the Ice-dam, and it
wain went crunching and roaring forward.
While the rise lasted great masses of ice were
piled high up along the river banks, and they now
may be seen, presenting a carious and interesting
spectacle, heaped up in contused and fantastic
piles, ten and twelve feet in height. Some of the
ice is very thick and clear, and the immense
masses that are jumbled together along the banks
between the old and new bridges looks as if it
would take half the summer to melt.
Murder in Arkansas.
(From the Clarksville (Ark.) Standard,)la7h 9th.)
Dr. Wm. W. KJ' burn, without warning, was
most shamefully murdered on Saturday after
ternoon hist, by Wm.. I. Hamlin. It appears
that - young Ilandin had been circulating stories
übout the Doctor, which were not true, and hav
ing met the young man on Saturday, the Doctor
questioned him about it, - and the matter was
settled, as it was supposed, satisfactorily; but
young Hamlin borrowed a pistol of smite one,
and seeing the Doctor shortly afterward, came up
behind - and struck him a light blow on the
head, and as he turned round, Ham
lin shot him, the ball passitr: through his
neck. Not satisfied with this, the murderer fired
a second shot, after the Doctor had turned to
cross the street, the ball passing through his
body, striking his watch, when the assassin fled:
but thanks to the—promptness of Lieutenant
Clarke and the boys In his eommand, he was
soon caught'and put in Irons. Dr. Kilburn lived
here before the war and participated in 'the re
bellion against the Union, but he was Yankee
born and thopght to be favorable to the plan of
Congressional ReconStruction, hence it was neces
sary to take his life, as other lives find been taken.
This is the twenty-fourth murder committed in
Johnson county since peace was declared.
The Defalcation by the Rhode Island
Mule Treasurer.
A despatch from Providence, 14th inst., to the
Boston Traveler, says
"A committee of the General Assembly ap
pointed to investigate the affairs of the officers
having charge of the State finance called upon
General George W. Tew, the General Treasurer of
this State, last evening, at his residence in New
port. The clerk in the office was first interro
gated In regard to the character of certain de
posits, and immediately fell senseless to the door,
and remained unconscious at least fifteen min
utes. Gen. Tew confessed to the Committee
that he had appropriated some $4,000 of the
State funds totals ownprivate business. and ten
dered his resifnation of the ofliw. The Commit
tee placed Samuel A. Parker,
OF former General

Puma Terxcitia. Monday, March 16.—There is - very little
life in any department of trade, and relatively little de
mand for money. The *eel:dative operations of proml
nt directors in Erie and other Railroad stocks. in New
York. and the extreme expedients resorted to for aiding
these movements have induced wide fluctuations in the
values there, but have had no effect here, where the baei
nets is of the most conservative character. The rates for
"call loans" are 5@6 per cent., and for mercantile paper
No. 1, at 6q, , . •.'1 per cant.
There was a decided upward movement in Govern.
meet Loans, which advanced rcia.%' per cent, closing
strong. The War Loan sold at 102%. City Loans were
steady at lfttfor the new iseut.v... Lehigh Gold Loan was
week and lower.
Reading Railroad cloAed at 4634 bid—the same as at
the opening on Saturday; Camden and Amboy Railroad
sold at 12.5.%; Philadelphia and Trenton Railroad at 125;
Pennsylvania Railroad at 5551—an advance of 34; Cata.
tViSsa. Railroad Preferred at 37;4, b. 60—no change; and
Lehigh Valley Railroad at 53—a decline of
Canal stocky were firmer, closing at 28 bid for Lehigh
Navigation ; 2235 for Schuslkill Navigation Preferred; 12
for the common stock, and 18 fof duaquebanna.
Banks stocks were lirmer;Conmercial advanced to 61;
10 was bid for Philadelphia, and 131 for Barmen` and

weals superabundant supply, and from eix per cent per
annum to 3-t2de per cent per diem was paid for having

$2,648,05, and the Sub-Treasury disbursed about $4BlOOO
in payment of interest on the public debt.• It ia evident
from the ceurse of the premium othitelhat confidence in ,
the public credit has not been shaken either by the im

bill and similar mischievous schemes introduced in Con

that such financial tinkering as Se t era Sherman and
Henderson propose will not be ante ed by any but a
small n inority in'either Home, and t at nothing will be
done, during the present session at least, to damage the
financial intereete of the country. Neither currency in

be as hurtful as the latter, while neeew funding 'scheme

able, as was generally anticipated; but the effect of this
has been discounted.
From to-day's World.)
SlAlifqlls.—The money market has f.tltirecovered from
the recent Etl ingeney. and the supply on call is amnie at
7 Ter cent.. and the Barre dealers in Governments are of
fered at 0 per cent. more than they can nee. Prime in
dorsed paper is discounted at 7 per cent. when maturlug
Rhin sixty day,. and longer dates range from 7 to 8 per
cent. 'the Week's , bank statement is considered
enfavoarble, but. as it reflects the transactions of
the past week, it Is no indication of the course of
the money market in the week to come. The loans are
decreased $2,340,te3 and the depoelte $6,518,610, and the
legal tenders *2.278.178. These changes, 'without doubt,
grow oht of the transactions of the Erießoard of Mee.
tore, some of whom are accueed, with some show of
reason. of having locked up considerable amounts of
greenbacks. During the week Mr. Drew and his friends
are said to have withdrawn about Sti,ooo,ooo front the
New 'York city banks. a portion of which, me 0001510, was
sent to Jersey City. out afterwards returned
to the city. On Thursday end Friday 0 - to
slim, about 116.000.000, is said to have been invested in
7-30 notes by the Erie Directors. as the safest and moat de.
irable form for the Company to bold the money until re
'f he hank statement, therefore, reflects only the
stringency of the early part of the week; but fernishea no
indication of the subeerment easing up of the money
market—owing to the diebereement for Government
bonds yesterday, and to-day of the amount that had been
withdrawn in the ea rly part of the week.
The Clove, nment bond market wag active and strong
throughout the day, mire especially in the 7.30 notes, of
Ni bleb there are only limited amounts In dieters" hands,
while there Is a ',teed , : investment demend for them. The
near 5.20 bonds of 1568 will soon he ready for delivery;
tied, es Govt remeet has determined not to sell any of
them, the may means 'of obtainine them will he by COD.
verdone of the '1.20 notes. The policy of the Secretary is
to enforce conversions of the 7.30 s as rapidly as poeeiele,
and to decrees,: the 7.300 by conversions or purcha-Ta with
any surplus of carreney the le.nartment may hold. At
the close the large dealers were hovers of the highest
quotations, end the market closed with a strong upward
tendency.
The stock mark et is unsettled by the Meditations and
litigation in Erie. which opened strong in the morning at
751.,—as soon colt WAS known that Mr. George A. Osgood,
son in.law of Commodore Vanderbilt, had been appointed
by Judge Barnard special receiver for the money received
for the Erie convertible bond stock which had been sold
to the Company, variously est imated at $6000.180 co 82
110.000. This event was, supposed by the street to indicate
the ascendancy of the Vanderbilt interest and it gave a
strong "bull" tendency to Erie and the whole market.
This feeling. however, chnneed as the price of Erie
declined, and when it touched 71% the impression was
that the Drew interest was In the ascendency. At the,
close of the day it was reported that both the "bull" and
the "bear" parties In Erie were heartily sick of the con.
test, and that a strong pressure front them and intinential
money.lendere who are afraid of a centietrance of this
condition of affairs, will be brought to bear upon Mr. Van
derbilt and Mr. Drew in order to effect an amicable settle
ment of their dillicultiee. The Drew party possess the
power of manutacturingeonvertible bonds to any amount,
and that this power will be exerted to its fullest extent Is
tolerably certain.
The removal of the Eric Railroad Company's officiate,
books and Moveable EIFSC . F. Irons New York to .Jersey
City, in order to withdraw from the jurisdiction of this
State and to evade its legal enactments, is evidence that
extreme measures will be resorted to by Mr. Drew in
order to carry his point. The barrier of ante-dating Erie
cat tificetes is likely to prove but a plight obstacle in con.
summating hir plans, and the resolution of the steck
board. that no Erie certificates dated after March 7 will
be a good delivery, is not likely to avail much in the pre
vention of new issues. The following is ruppaeed to be
the amount of Erie shares issued to date:
Common stock as in annual rep0rt........ ....... $16,574,000
Stock issued on Mr. Drew's loan. ......... ..... s,te 0.010
Capital in Bradford and Erie 2,000,000
Issued for new convertible bonds. 10,0-0,000
. . .
There is POMO doubt as to whether the whole amount of
the 10,000,(sSi of the new convertible bonds has been
turned into shares and cold on the market. It'll stall
to be the intention of the Erie directors to iIISLIC an•
other e 6,000.1.00 of convertible bonds which will make the
Erie capital 400 GOO shares. At the close Erie recovered to
72),, to 727,;.
