7HE lIIPEACHPIENT TRIAL.
The trial of Andrew Johnson, President of
the United States, advanced another import
ant step yesterday. Elia answer to the Arti
cles of Impeachment was formally presented
to the Senate. This answer is long, but pre
sents no new feature of the case. The main
points of this lengthy document are two.
First, an elaborate quiblge in answer to the
first article, in which the President seeks to
evade the application of the Tenure of Office
law to the case of Mr. Stanton; and second.
an evasive reply to the tenth article, in regard
LO the notorious speeches delivered while
"swinging round the circle." It will be ob
served -that even Mr. Johnson appears to
shrink from a point-blank denial of the
language which has been universally ac
cepted as used by him at Washington, Cleve
land and St. Louis. Nor can he hope to
avoid the responsibility of t h% epithets which
he then so freely launched against Congress.
it may readily be believed that he does not
remember half that he said, for he was, at
some times, intoxicated with irrepressible
rage and, at others, inflamed with strong
drink, and probably spoke many things which
he now forgets, but which the ever watchful
public press seized upon and hits preserved,
and whish those who heard will never
ibrget.
The President, in his answer, professes a
respect for Congress which is simply nauseat
ing. This whine over his unvarying respect
and courtesy toward Congreu is pitiful. It is
the old saw repeated :
"The Devil was sick; •
The Devil a monk would be.
The Devil got well; •
The Devil a monk was he."
b has been so throughout all the period of
Johnson's usurpation& He plays the bully
whenever Congress treats him leniently or
shows the slightest sign of weakness. He
cringes like a very coward the moment he
hears the crack of a whip.
The filing of the answer was followed by
motions for further delay, and — Mr. Garrett
Davis and his new colleague, McCreary,
stultified themselves by interposing a stupid
resolution, denying the validity of their own
official positions, for which they failed to
secure a single vote beside their own. The
Managers of the House declared their readi
ness to proceed to-day, and the Senate refused
to grant the time asked by the President.
There can be no time really needed for such
a case as his counsel have presented. The
ground is thoroughly familiar. There are no
new points to be investigated,and no necessity
for any very extensive testimony. The coun
try wants this trial disposed of with dignity
and decorum; but without waste of time, and
both the Managers and the Senate know it.
If the Managers present their replication to
day, there is no good reason why the case
should not go on to-morrow, and be finished
in the next three weeks. The Senate has
already declared, by two votes, its opposition
- to needless delay, and it will probably inter
pose its power, should the counsel fur the
President weaken his case by resorting to
leebnicarnieasures for postponing the fins
malt.
YAWL ON MASONRY.
The honored and honorable institution of
Free Masonry needs no advocates or de
fenders, for its works speak for it everywhere,
as they have spoken for centuries. But it is
hardly fair that such a noble brotherhood, so
Irish in historic renown, should, in the latter
half of the nineteenth century, suffer the in
fliction of the inflated panegyrism of Richard
Vans. In a lucid interval of his youth, per
haps about the time when he visited the
Court of St. James and excited the admira
tion of the then Princess Victoria, Riohard
became a Mason, and, as he always does all
Lis duties at least conscientiously, if
not wisely, he has gradually risen,
through faithful service and attention to his
duties, to the chief position in the Grand
Lodge of Pennsylvania. It is a post that any
gentleman of superior intellect might covet,
and outside of the order, as well as inside,
people ought to recognize the fidelity that has
won for Mr. Vaux the position, in spite of
obvious incapacity to represent fairly an
ancient and honoralle, fraternity, that had no
nonsense in its origin, and has had, till now,
none in its history.
But the Right Worshipful Grand Master
Brother Richard ValllC has, as we And in a
very handsomely printed pamphlet, Under
taken the unnecessary duty of championing
Masonry, and he has done it in a way
that is strictly nonsensical, according to the
roost approved code of Nonsense, if there
ever was a Monarch of Nonsense that found
any necessity for anode in the wale universe
In which be seems to have so many willing
subjects. Why should Mr. Vaux proclaim
to the world, as he does in his late Annual
Address to the Grand Lodge, that the Masonic
Coley "rest , ' on a solkl and )39ting founda-
tion, which, in all ages, has defied the' at
tacks of time, as well as the opposition of the
world, actuated either by invincible igno
rance, or malicious' and vindictive animal
' des?" If the ignorance is inVincible, why
oppose it? The question is like the old phi
lorophical-conundraor t --- when - an irresistible
force comes in contact with an immovable
body, what is the consequence ? Toots can
answer the corresponding question as it seems
to be put by Mr. Vaux.
In a passage following the sentence quoted,
Mr. Vaux tries to recite some of the virtues
of the Order, so as to instruct young men, or
novices of low degree, and he bewilders them
by the startling announcement that' "profi
ciency is thoroughly obtained as they pro
gress." If the proficiency becomes thorough
while in progress, what can it be when pro
gress has ceased ? Can it be perfect while it
is imperfect, or while, according to the beau
tiful language of Mr. Vaux, the pursuers of it
"progress ?" Can a student of it, so taught,
be honestly and truthfully called,as Mr. Vaux
calls him, "a perfect component of the
great moral Temple of the Order?" To be
perfect components, young men ought not to
be taught that their proficiency is to be
"thoroughly obtained as they progress." The
idea is perplexing, and the language is not
unimpeachable; for though Shakespeare once
or twice used the Americanism " progress,"
as a verb, the coincidence between Vaux and
Shakespeare can hardly be recognized as
establishing either a paralled of genius or a
principle in the English tongue. One or the
other, or both, might have been wrong.
There is one passage of• Mr. Vaux's address
to his Masonic brethren that is so "stun
ning,' that it cannot be considered piece
meal, or analytically, or in a dissected con
dition ;, and therefore we do him the justice
of reprinting it complete. Here it is. He
says :
"It is not to be denied that there is an increas
ing desire everywhere manifested to obtain the
rights and privileges which Free Masonry' con
fer& 'lids creates no surprise. An Order that
has centuries upon centuries encircling its his
tory, as the bark covers the trunks of primeval
trees, showing, by the lines which mark each
rUCCCEEiVe year's growth, their longevity and
strength, must, of necessity, command the re
spect and admiration of mankind. Comparing it,
in its majestic proportions, its hoary antiquity,
its strength, beauty and stability, with all other
human institutions, it'awakens the deepest inter
est and invites the most thoughtful study. The
op a, as they pass over it, do it homage. Time
recoils from his attacks upon it, to
examine hie weapon and wonder how it is re
sisted; the Spirit of Destruction lodges in its
battlements, and broods over the successive fail
ures of its insidious influences ; the Genii of Un
rest, Schism and Heresy hovering round its por
tals, at last fly, affrighted and dazzled by the
light of unbroken harmony which illuminates its
sacred Altars; the tongue of universal history
kaows not its language and fails to record either
its origin or its works; the philosophers are
silent m regard to it, for they cannot teach its
virtues, or interpret its mysteries; poetry knows
nothing of the rhyme of its ritual, and music has
no sound to give voice to its universality. It
cannot be described, for it has no parallel. Surely,
then, its attractiveness to the mind and heart, to
the intelligences and the emotions of men, is no
- cause - for wonder. - " -
Of all fine writing of modern times, there
is nothing that occurs to us finer than this.
The image of Time recoiling from his attacks I
on Masonry, to examine his weapon (usually
a scythe) and wonder how it was resisted, is
positively Miltonic. In all the Course of
Time, from Pollok down to Vaux, there is
scarcely anything more extraordinary than
this picture of the old enemy of all of us try
ing to see what notched his scythe when he
strove to mow down old-fashioned and well
built Masonry. Imagine, too, the homage of
the Ages, and the uncomfortable lodgings
secured by the Spirit of Destruction, and the
gyrations of the Genii of Unrest, Schism
and Heresy, as they flew affrighted,
dazzled, &c. Imagine the wonderful
mixture of sound and vision when Mr. V aux
speaks of an, unbroken hat mony that has the
power of illuminating; or of the Know-Noth
ing poetry, and the dumb music that "has no
sound to give voice to its universality." No
voice! Has not the music of masonry a
Vaux? We "must allow Vox," as the clown
says in Twelfth -Night. But it is a great
pity that the venerable and dignified Order of
Free Masons should, in Philadelphia and in
this nineteenth century, have futred no bet
ter Vox than Richard.
A. gentleman of this city,who is the posses
sor of a very valuable collection of historical
relics, has loaned to us fer inspection a
bound file of the Pennsylvania Everting
Post. a tri-weekly newspaper that was pub
lished in this city during the period of the
American Revolution. The file embraces the
whole of the year 1776 and it abounds in in
tereseiThe size of each page is less than one
fourth the size of a page of the EVENING
BULLETIN and the entire four pages do not
contain as much printed matter, by fully one
fourth,aa a single one of the eight pages of the
BULLETIN contains. This little eight-by-nine
journal was sold for • two cents a copy—a
price about eight times greater than is
charged for the BULLETIN, when the differ
ence in dimensions is taken into
account; and that, too, at a period
when news from New York was gen
erally three days old and when telegraphs,
special correspondents, local reporters
and literary editors, •were not dreamed of.
Taking into consideration what the reader of
the present day receives for his investmeat,
newspapers never were as cheap as, they are
in 1868.
In examining a file of American- newspa
pers of the year 1776, the eye naturally seeks
for the pages that record the action of Con
gress on the Fourth of July. The number
for that day contains a great many references
to the struggle which had already com
menced. There'll; a report of the proceed
ings of several revolutionary committees
that ienfeireitee nrecifpeliters'
Hall on the Sunday previous; there were also
some unimportant war news,the proceedings
of the Committee - of Safety and the usual
ten or twelve advertisements. Upon the first
page of the number of Saturday, July 6, we
find the immortal charter of American Lib
erty, which is given without one word of edi
torial comment. and with no introduction
save the following words :
"IN CONGRESS, JULie 4, 1776. .
A pHeI.AItAI lON ISE IRE REPRESENTATIVES OP
TIM UNITED STATES AMEIIIO.t IN OPNICE
(;la BS AtAIGALIALE.I)."
It is a curious fact that upon the' page (1
ieetly opposite that which bears' the em
phatic sentence, "We hold these truth 9 to be
THE DAILY EVENING} BULLETIN.--PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, MARCH 24.1868;
self-evident, That all men are created equal,'
there is an advertisement which rune as fol
lows _
"To mm sour, a NEGRO BOY, about four or
five Sears of age, •who has bad the timall-pox and
measles. Inquire of the Printer."
It was eighty-nine years before the mons
' Arous - distrepanorbetween - the -words-of-the_
Declaration amithe existence Of the institu
tion illustrated by this little .advertisement
was reconciled.
It will be news to some of the readers of
the BULLETIN to learn that Independence was
actually declared upon, the First day of July,
'76, and that the act of the sucoeedingFourth
was simply an assignment of reasons for the
measure and putting it in a formal shape-
The Post, in its report of the proceedings of
Congress on the First, sets forth as follows:
"Tins nAT THE CONTINENTAL CON
GRESS Dammam mu UNITED STATES
FERE AND INDEPENDENT STATES."
There is another error that has become very
prevalent, to-wit: That the formal Declaration
was signed upon the Fourth. The rough copy,
as it came from the bands of the Committee
which drafted it, was signed by President
Hancock and Secretary Thomson upon that
day; but the handsomely-engrossed copy
which, with its signatures, is so
familiar to every American, was not
fully signed for months, and, in fact, some
of the signers of the Declaration were not
elected to Congress until after the 4th of July,
1776. Yet another error is the belief that the
instrument was publicly read by Charles
Thomson, Secretary of Congress, from the
State lJouse steps, on the Fourth. It was
not made public until the Sixth, and it was read
upon the Eighth to the people by John Nixon,
!rem a temporary observatory that had been
erected in the State JICUES Square to• enable
David Rittenhouse to observe the transit of
the planet Venus. The only notice made by
the Post of the public reading was in the fol
lowing words :
"Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, INDEPEN
DANO7 was declared at the State House in this
city, in the presence of many thousand specta
101s, who testified their approbation of it ny re
peated acclamations of joy."
It is much to, be regretted that the news
papers that were published during exciting
periods in the remote history of the country
were so parsimonious in their details of
important events that were in progress. But
notwithstanding their provoking reticence,
they abound in interest and they are of real
value to the student of history.
The remains of Daniel llanin, yesterday
received again in Venice with great state, did
not depart from their resting-place in
the cemetery of Montmartre without an
annoying example of despotic interference.
The tomb of the illustrious exile having been
occasionally made a rallying point by the
liberal spirits of France, the police appear to
have ventured to interfere with the ceremo
nies of the removal. Our last advices from
Paris assure us that an objection was entered
by the Prefect - of Police 6Y—themere
presence of the son and ancient Mends
of Manin at the solemnity of exhumation.
These persons were advised that the cere
mony would be performed by the simple
means of the Societe des pompes funtibrea.
Whether we are to believe this dainating
story of a vindictiveness that pursues its vic
tims beyond the grave, or not, we wait to
determine. Meantime, we notice the pre
liminary rehearsal, in a Paris salon, of a fine
hymn intended to be sung during the obse
quies at Venice. The Cantata, by Messieurs
de la Forge and Victor Mass(, was sung by
the latter composer with a pathos that
drew from every hearer the predic
ion that this sacred song would become
the national hymn of Italy. The words,
which lie before us, are really eloquent,
opening with an invocation to the ocean
eity ., to receive her son, who, "having quitted
Venice with her liberty, now with her liberty
re-enters Venice," and closing with a passion
ate appeal to the heraldic Lion of St. Mark's:
"Oh! witness, from thy pillar in the Square,
Of all the dread solemnities of yore,
Shade with thy golden plumes, in the free air,
Lion! these nuble ashes we restore!"
Manila, a Venetian patriot elected by the
people to represent them in the uprising of
'4B, lost Venice to the Austrians just after the
defection of the Hungarian Gorgey, and died
in exile at Paris in 185.7.
Last Friday the House of Representa
tives at Harrisburg, passed a bill chartering a
concern which proposed to call. itself "The
Domestic Resource 'Company," and which
might mean almost anything, from a banking
concern to a huge pawn-broker establish
ment, or a general agency. Attention was
called through the medium of the public press
to the suspicious character of the bill, and to
the uncertain and almost unlimited powers
granted under it. The'result was the recon
sideration of the bill yesterday, and upon the
vote being taken upon its final passage there
were but two in the affirmative ! What
a commentary upon the disgraceful careless
ness of the legislation at Harrisburg, when a
bill which was suffered to go through the
House on Friday, was almost unanimously
negatived upon the following Tuesday. This
is almost as bad as the last session of the
Legislature, when scores'of bills were passed
by their titles alone.
Tail Press gives a graphic account of Judge
Black's personal appearance at the Impeachment
trial yesterday, which is well written but detec
tive in the point that Judge Black was not pre
sent at all, which "reminds tie of a little story :"
There was a worthy preacher on the Western
frontier some years ago, who invited a brother
to preach for him. The stranger in discoursing
upon the flood remarked, "When Abraham, en
tered the ark, my brethren"—when his brother
pulled, his coat tail, and whispered : "Abra
ham wa'n't than!" Unheeding the
correction, The — preacher' repeated * Vie
sentence, and Was again checked by a
stronger pull and a louder whisper, "Abraham
wa'n't than!" A third time he attempted to get
Abraham into the ark, but the sturdy defender of
the faith, behind him, again interposed.. Out of
ell patience, he returned to the charge, with
"Wa'al 1 . when Abraham was thar, or thar about!"
and eo he went on in peace. "Jere" - Black may
have been "ther about," but he certainly "wa'n't
thar."

George H. etuart, President eof the Convention, then

Mr. ethers then made a brief address defining the ob

Christ to those in our families and workshops who arc
now outside of the Church. lie asked the queistion,W hat
are the members of the Church doing to bring the world
to a knowledge of Christ? and urged all to go to work and
use their Meru two in their belted'.
A diernerion then took place en the question: What can
the laymen of our churches do for Christ? The discussion
was opt vied by Judge Smith, of Bostou.who said ho hoped
that every beast was asking this question, and that the
amasser noels come home to each member of the Con.

with the membership of the Church that the responaibility
rests. They cannot all enter the pulpit and in this way
preach to the people, but they can go out among the
masses and proclaim the riches of Christ.
In Boston, his place of residence, Satan's followers
were - nring all their powers. to drag down the safeguards
of the Church, and It was to his nand ap alarming stete
of the times that these evils should be permitted to go on.

thought that if, as professing Christians. they used their
efforts to the extent of their power, a vast amount of good
would be the result. The hymn, • Blow ye the Trumpet,
Blow." was then sung.
Mr. Marshall followed, giving a history of his career
during the last forty veare as a member of the Church,
and urged all to work in the lanes and alleys.
Rev. Dr. Bomberger said that laymen had Divine an

Dr. Boardman, of the Baptiet Church, instanced
passages In the Scripture to prove the pod

they should trust in Christ and go forward in the use of
the means at their disposal to bring under the influence of

followed, advocating the use of lay influence to bring
under the power of the gospel the unconverted in society,.
and instanced several valuable publications which might
be used to advantage in the prosecuting of this work.
Wm. Welsh, of the Episcopal Church, then took the
floor, and said that the laymen of the Church had an In

The journal was then read, after which Mr.

The motion of Mr. Johnson to allow the Presi

offjn . dan amendment to strike out "ten days"
and insert, "That the Senate at once proceed
with the trial, day by day, unless otherwise or
dered."
Mr. Dixon moved that the Senate retire to de
liberate on his motion. The question was put,
and It was apparently lost, but the Chief Justice
decided that it had been carried. The yeas and
nays were called, and the question was carried by
a vote of 29 ayes to 23 nays. So the Court at
once retired for deliberation at. half-past one
o'clock.

WAstriNoToN March 24.—The Supreme Court
of the United 'States has delivered an opinion
affirming the decision of the Supreme Court of
Connecticut in the case of the Society for Sivinas
vs. Gabriel W. Carte, Treasurer. The Society on
the first day of July 1863, having Invested of Its
deposits a half million of dollars in securities of
the United States, deducted that amount of its
deposits, and duly paid the Treasurer the tax
upon the balance. The Treasurer Insisted and
demanded that the Society should account for
and make payment of the tax on the full amount
of deposits, which the plaintiff in error refused
to do.
Upon the case being submitted, the Superior
Court held that the Society was bound to pay
upon the full amount, and upon error thisjudg
ment was affirmed by a majority of
.the Supreme
Court of Errors.
It was not claimed on behalf of the State that
its government - may rightfully tax Ilin - Stettrities
of the Federal Government. The principal
question in the case was whether the statute of
Connecticut, as sought to be enforced by the
Treasurer imposed a tax upon the securities.
The Supreme Court of the United States, Mr.
Justice Clifford delivering the opinion, held that
this was a society simply for receiving deposits
and paying interest on the money invested; that
a tax on the deposits held by a savings bank is
not a tax on the securities in which these may
be invested, for the tax on the deposits accrues
whether these are invested or not.
Mr. Justice Miller dissented from the opinion,
for the reason that this tax was only a tax on
government securities in another mode.
The House Committee on Elections have de
cided to give the seat in the contested election
case of Delano vs. Morgan, to George W. Mor
gan, the sitting member.
