TILE LAMT VETO.
The President vetoed the Supreme Court
bill yesterday. Of course he did. If' he
would number his vetoes it would be a great
convenience. Why does not his dear Con
vas, for which he entertains such high con
sideration and esteem, ask him to do so ?
Judged by its length, the President's last is
one of his cleverest efforts. It will,of course,
•'go where the:bad -vetoes go."
But what an absurdity is presented by the
anomaly of Congress trying Andrew Johnson,
and Andrew Johnson trying Congress at the
very same time. Congress has the power to
suspend him during his trial, and does not
exercise the power. The failure to do so not
only robs the Impeachment trial of much of
the high dignity which belongs to it, by
allowing the accused to continue in the full
exercise of the very powers, for the abuse of
villa he is being tried, but it also offers him
the inducement to commit new outrages upon
the laws and to stir up new troubles in the
land. Suspension is the obvious and easy
remedy for these difficulties and dangers, and
the sooner it is applied by Congress the
better.
SIRE \OIVIAAN GZINDING PRTISANCIE.
By *ay of preface to what is to follow
we will say in all sincerity and earnestness
that no man can have a stronger claim upon
the Government and people of this country
than he who, when the nation was imperiled,
stepped forward promptly and risked
health, limb and life itself in its defence. As
to those who were maimed in the great
"Veggie which secured the salvation of the
republic, they should have something much
MOM substantial than mere gratitude or
honor, and they eminently deserve to be
snide the wards of the nation. Thus much
by way of preliminary to what we have to
say concerning the hand-organ nuisance.
The old tribe of Italian organ-grinders of the
"Jon Bags" school, who "knew the
vally of peace and quietness too well to
move tinder a shillin," have disappeared,
and in their stead blue-coated and
limbless men have come upon the
ear-torturing stage. These men plant them
selves in the most crowded business tho
roughfares, and they either weary out their
unwilling listeners by the doleful monotony
of their performances, or they distract them
with discord. "Hail Columbia," the "Star
Spangled Banner" and "Yankee Doodle,"
are all very good things in their way, but
they are not exceptions to the old adage
which declares that "too much of a good
thing is good for nothing." And besidea the
extravagant quantity which is furnished, the
unfitness of time and please is an important
feature of this grave and growing nuisance.
The merchant who is under enormous ex
penses for rent, clerk-hire, doe., has
the right to claim a reasonable im
munity from annoyance while he is
supplying the wants of his customers. How
this expectation can be fulfilled with a hand,
organ at the door drawling out "Father Come
Home," or the "Wearing of the Green," is
well understood by every sufferer. The men
of figures, whose brows become prematurely
wrinkled through the constant solution of
arithmetical problems, are driven well nigh
adistracted by this musical addition to their
perplexities; while the hapless editor, who
has to spin out from his brains his 'house
rent, his garments and his daily bread, as the
spider builds his house from hie own internal
resources, is 'almost maddened by the
ineellslUlt repetition of "Tramp, Tramp,"
or "Norsk O'Neill." A single organ
grinder is sufficient to annoy and almost dis
&act a square of store-keepers and their ens
-Comers. The grinder damages the prosperity
•of the neighborhood in which he planta him.-
..self to an extent exceeding by many hundred
kid all the pecuniary results flowing towards
.Idmiself, and the toleration of the nuisance is
scarcely wiser in an economic view than it
would be to fire a store-house in order that
•some needy person might profit through the
privilege of raking out the damaged fragments
eiv.aluables from the ashes.
;Luny member of the old family of Italian
•ear-torturers were to plant himself day after
.day in front of store or office and grind out
lorlorn music by the hour the nuisance would
speedily be abated. The nuisance is none
4he less annoying because the operator wears
..11 blue .overcoat or lacks an arm or a leg,
although these circumstances make us more
tolerant of it. There cannot be two opinions
aoseerlang the mere question whether this
promiscuous and incessant organ playing in
the business part of the city, and during bust
item hours, is a nuisance. The only question
is as to the propriety of its prompt abate
ment. The great mass of the people who
suffer from it agree first, that all persons
who assume to be what they are not for the
purpose of gaining money through the organ
,grladhig medium, should not only have their
- Use* - broken up but be pimished as im-,
posters ; while the genuine soldier, who; has
,been maimed in the serviee of his
otouatty, should be relieved from the
seceasit7 0 pursuing 111 0 tani-beggary and
enjoy at the 'public coat the care and eOmfort
which government and loyal neighborhoods
have liberally supplied for these ineritorions
subjects of the nation's gratitude and care.
This soldier organ-grinding business is a need
less humiliation to the true soldier and an
undiserved reproach to a beneficent govern
ment, that - has not onlyproirideditrylums or
those who have been crippled in its service,
but artificial limbs to supply, so far as possi
ble, the place of those which they lost in the
field.
"SPELL IT WITH A 4 T. 9 v 9
The Senate was enlivened yesterday with
a ferocious attack upon Secretary Stanton by
the gay and festive Senator from Kentucky,
Garrett Davis. Mr. Davis insisted upon
calling the' great French war-minister, "Car
noT," although Mr. Hendricks gave him a
brief lesson in French pronunciation. The
Kentucky orator, who usually empties the
Senate chamber when he rises to speak, was,
for onee, positively attractive. He called
Mr. Stanton such terrible names that even
the stately Fessenden was roused to the de
fence. He declared that he and Mr. Davis
might well court the infamy to which history
would consign Mr. Stanton, a sentiment
which filled Davis with holy horror. At
this juncture a diversion was created
by a skirmish between Messrs. Fessenden
and Conness, on the subject of elasticity, in
which the interesting fact was developed that
the former disclaims all elasticity, and the
latter thinks it not such a very bad thing,
under certain circumstances. Ad Interim
Thomas played the part of Malvolio in this
little Senatorial comedy, and was tossed about
from one performer to the other in a way
that was evidently great fun to them, but
death to him. When Davis complained that
Mr. Stanton did not answer his questions,
Mr. Conness inquired why he did not go to
the other Secretary of War. But poor Mr.
Davis said that the ad 'interim was
"tied up" and could not answer, if he
would. Finally, Mr. Davis concluded this
pleasant little comedy by declaring that he
"would not cast any imputation upon either
of the Secretaries, and he assured the Senator
that he had no feelings towards tither but
those of repugnance." After which lucid defi
nition of his position there was, of course,
nothing further to be said.
It is pleasant to see the Senate thus unbend
ing, occasionally, from its wonted austerity,
and still pleasanter to know that when that
august body does attempt a comedy it has "a
most worthy fool" for the clown's part, in the
person of the Senator from Kentucky.
The public readings of Mr. Charles
Dickens have created an immense de
mand for his works, as the multifarious
new editions of them show. There
is a certain proportion of the popula
tion constantly arriving at mature taste, and
these take up the stories of Dickens with a
zest like that of their fathers and mothers
who were among his first readers. The
Dickens readings have increased the number
of new readers of Dickens. 80, too, the
Shakespeare readings of Mrs. Kemble have
excited a new interest in Shakespeare, and
many persons who have never seen one of his
plays acted, or read them in private, have
had' his beauties revealed to them by the lady;
and thus hundreds, or thousands perhaps,
have set to work to read and study Shakes
peare.
While,as a general thing,the assemblages at
Mrs. Kemble's readings are cultivated people,
it is quite evident that a good many of them
have never read Shakespeare. On almost
every bench will be seen some one with a
book of the play, which is studied before the
reading begins and often referred to as it goes
on. An occasional person will be observed
who scarcely takes his eyes off the book during
the reading,thus losing the play of countenance
which is one of the reader's greatest charms.
But this is a matter of taste. It is surprising,
however, that among such audiences as Mrs.
Kemble's, there should be eo many to whom
Shakespeare is a novelty. They have a cer
tain advantage in hearing him interpreted for
the first time by a thorough student and a
great actress, who can bring out all the
points .of the characters and all
the beauties of the poetry in perfection. It
is hoped that the revelations made to them by
the readings will excite a desire to study the
great dramatist's works thoroughly. The
literature of fiction, of the drama and of
poetry, at the present day, is so bad that any
thing must be hailed by the judicious as bene
ficial which will direct people's minds to re
newed-study of Shakespeare. 11' it should
also excite so much interest as to intuoe the
atrical managers to undertake careful revi
vals of the plays upon the stage, the bad taste
whicikprevails for the morbid and trashy sen
sational dramas of the day might soon be cor
rected.
Yesterday, in the 'United States Senate,
Mr. Anthony, of Rhode Island, offered a
resolution that the presiding officer be author
ized to admit to a seat on the floor the
Reporters of the New York Associated Press
during the impeachment trial. He said he
had been informed that the Associated Press
contemplated to send as full a report of the
trial as possible, and it was important to the
public that it should be accurate in regard to
the testimony, which would be imperfectly
heard from the gallery. Mr. Anthony is
perfectly correct in his statement, his
motion was eminently right and proper, and
it should be promptly acceded to by the Sen
ate. The people of the country will have no
means of learning the progress of this import
ant State trial except through the agency of
the reporters of the Associated Press, and the
special correspondents, who 'will be upon the
Spot. In one_ sense they. are .as coniplotely
the representatives of the people as any men
who will be upon the floor during the trial,
and every possible facility should be extended
to them in the performance of their arduous
labors. In this connection there is peculiar
significance in the fact that an important
count in the impeachment indictment is
based upon newspaper reports of the Presi
dent's speeches when upon the "swinging
around the circle" expedition. To prove the
correctness of these reports, reporters have
been brought from Cleveland and St. Louis,
and too much importance cannot be attached
to their. evidence. It would be absurd in
this condition of tbinge to make such mango

niente for those who are to' report'the pro
.
ceedings of the High Penrt et Ittipeachrnent,
as to make their reportifof doubtful accuracy.
Every line written by the reporters during
the trial will pass into history, and the reports
should be correct beyond cavil or question.
Mr. Anthony deserves the thanks of_the press
or his considerate attention to a class of men
from whom much is expected, but who, too
often, are left to perform their difficult duties
under the most embarrassing circumstances.
Mr. Anthony, as the publisher of the Provi
dence Journal, during a period of many
years, thoroughly understands the wants of
the newspaper press in this respect, and
his suggestions should carry great weight
with them.
The House of Representatives of New Jer
sey has passed over the Governor's veto the
bill which provides for the withdrawal of
the consent of the Sandy State to the ratifica
tion of the_fourteenth article of the Federal
Cc"stitution. Poor Jersey I Among the
tardiest of the States to adopt the amend
ment which secures to the loyal people of
the country the dear bought fruits of the
great struggle, she is now the first to attempt
to undo what had been done in a spasm
of patriotism. But New Jersey might
as well have saved herself the dis-:
grace of this retrograde step. Her vote
ratifying the amendment was a finality, and
she can no more withdraw her solemn assent
to the important measure than she can nullify
her part in the Continental Congress, and,
withdrawing her ratification of the federal
constitution, legislate herself back under
British control. The South virtually tried
that experiment, and it resulted in disastrous
failure. Jersey might as well have saved her
credit and allowed the ratification of the four
teenth article to remain undisturbed.
From the time the books of the Receiver of
Taxes were opened, February 10, to March 24,
inclusive, the gross amount of the taxes paid was
$2,928;947 91. Deducting.lor discount allowed
by law for prompt payment ($300,286 33) left the
net receipts $2,628,661 58. The amount of de
linquent taxes of 1866, collected and returned
during 1867, the first year of Mr. Peltz's term.
was $265,000 upon which the penalty of Ave per
cent. (about $13,000) was collected and paid ever
to the City Treasurer. There appears to be a
misunderstanding among some persons in regard
to this matter. The law enacted by the Legisla
ture last year does not throw off the five per
cent. penalty, but requires the same to be col
lected by the Receiver, and paid over with the
tax to the City Treasurer. This has been done by
Mr, Peitz.

Wassinorox, March 26.—1 t is stated in the
State Department that Gen. Banks and Secretary
Seward on Tuesday last wrote to Baron Stoeckl,
the Russian Minister, asking for an extension of
the time of the treaty with Russia for the par
chase of Alaska. They give for reason that on
account of the impeachment trial, it is impossible
to transact .any business of • great im
portance in the House and therefore an
Extension of the time is necessary for the ful
filment of the treaty. Your correspondent is en
abled to state, on the very highest authority, that
the Russian Goverment is ready to grant the ex
tension of time asked for. No limit, however,
will be placed on the time, but by common con
sent between the Executive Department of this
Government and the Russian Government, it
will be extended till the House of Representatives
*an have the necessary time fully to consider the
subject.

Mr. IN tont time (III.) hoped the previous question would
net be messed Low. but that some further dimineden of
this iinvirtent matter woftldbe alloMed. There was n
public business pressing on the Howie this mornine; and
some tine might be profitably spent in this dot, useion.

would nave an opportunity of reporting it back next

that when the propmition first came here the memoer
from Wisconsin ( Washberno then undertook to press it

Abolition of Capital Punishment.
The following petition was presented to the Legislature
a few days since by lion. John Hickman:
2o the Honorable the Senate and House of flepre.s•nta
tioee of the Commoiwatth q/Pennsotecinia in Geweral
Assembly ma: At a public meeting of tke Penmylva
nia Peace Society, held fn Philadelphia, February With.-
A. D. IE6B, the undereigned were appointed a committee
to memoralize the Legislature for the abolition of capital
punishment.
In discharging this duty, the Committee very respect
fully represent that the crime of murder in Pennsylvania
is fearfully on the increase, and the present method of
dealing with persons convicted of murder of the first de
gree. in our opiniomtends directly to increase rather than
to diminish crime
In the county of Philadelphia alone eight persons have
been tried for homicidoWitiain the last sixty days. sad in
addition to the numerous murder trials of the past your
there are yet untried seventeen persons who have been
indicted for the same offence. Since the last execution
more homicides have been committed in this
county, we believe, than ever before is
the same length of time, and. although
the executions in Philadelphia in 1667 were tree from
131111111 of the revolting scenes which were witnessed at ex
ecutions in other places, yet from the foregoing facts it
is evident that the effects of these two executions upon
the community have not been salutary. The Indiction of
the death penalty here as elsewhere has tended to in.
crease the very crime it was designed to prevent.
Punishment, to be effectual, must include these three
objects:- let. The securltr of society. 2d. Reparation to
the injured parties. as far as possible, for the wrong done;
and 3d. The reformation of the offender. Whatever
penalty falls to secure each of these ends, so far de
generates into retaliation or revenge. Btatbitics
of *very State In the Union, and, we
believe, of every civilized nation on the globe,
when fairly applied, will sustain the truth of the asser
tion that the death penalty . does not diminish the crimes
for which it is inflicted. 'Pekin. the life of the criminal
nives him no opportunity to repair, to the extent of his
ability, the wrong he has done by devoting the proceeds
of his toil for the support of those most deeply injured,
not does it afford the most Christian method for his refor
mation.
To say nothing of the danger that always exists of
executing innocent persons, and believing as we do that
every human being has an "inalienable right to
and that neither the individual nor society, which
is composed of individuals has the right to deprive
him of it—that the infliction of the death penalty
le simply a crime, under the solemn sanction of
law, creating a morbid desire for revenge and a tearful
dbiregard , of the sanctity of human life, thus preparing
the way for other murders--we earnestly pray your hon
orable body to abolish the death penalty and to substitute
what is more in accordance with the enlightened philoso
phy of the age and more in harmony with true Christian
. •

was confidentlf expected that relief would some from
this source, and the disappointment was, therefore.- ail
the greater when the true state of the case became
known. The speculative railway shares felt the shock
at otce. and E•ie and New York Central declined two

vate lenders drew their purse stringe closer,, and
the preyiourstringeuey was aggravated by fears for the
future. From an eighth to a quarter per cent.
WSJ paid for "turnieg” stocks till to-morrow, and
large amounts of New York Central were canted over
for a day by the holders paying a commission of $l4 on
each hundred shared'. The general rate for call loans,
both at the banks and among the private bankers. was
seven per cent. in gOld t but in not a few instances a com
mie-Bien was paid in addition. The borrowers were, how
ever, reluctant to confess the fact, as they regarded It in
a light by no MeallA flattering to their credit, although
there is no rood reason why they should have
done so In the present etheptional condition of
affairs. Most of the banks that opposed Ike
admiesion of the new certificates for Clearing Nouse pur
poses did so because they recognized currency inflation in
the movement , and, aside from that. there is no doubt
that the policy of issuing ench certificates on the part of
the Treasury is to be deprecated, for the latter requires to
hold itself in constant readiness toredeem them. lo inset
an emergency like this, however. much it allowable that
would otherwise call for condemnation, and the great
question that agitates Wall Weed is, bow can the neces

either by theTrea eery paving out certificates and currency
in the purchase of seven-thirty notes at the market Price.
if it bar the means to do eo. or by a breakdown in prices

ponding reductional the amount necessary to carry the
speculative railway shares. There is little or no
prospect of any material aid from the Treasury, although
it bought more than a million of seven.thirty notes to
day • but against this it sold a certain amount of gold. A
weak market for the speculative shares, is therefore,
probable until the supply of money at seven per cent. be
comes equal to the dew and, and this is act likely to be
exr erienced until after the find week in April, although
a partial abatement of the stringency will bo felt after
the Ist instant.
If the banks had not loaned as largely as they have
done to the vas ions cliques in railway shares they would
not be in their present perilous position, and the mercan
tile community would not find it impossible to obtain dis
counts or to sell commercial paper. The majority of
bank officers, however. are not opposed to any combina
tion of circumstances. which results in their being able to
obtain eel en per cent. in coin for loans or call, but after
their action to-day they will only have them.

occur, which would leave them the virtual owners of the
collate ala they hold against loans, for twenty per cent.
margins are easily swept away when prices are as high
as we now fird them. The Erie litigation has demoralized
the railway share market, the outside public has deserted
it. and if the bull cliques give way the end is easily fore
seen. Nothing new has transpired in relation to Eriennt

do well to let it severely alone. The reduced tariff on the

Sb ock in Discovery Near Pottsville...
alieleton of a Man Found in the
'Woods.
[From the Pottsville Standard.]
A few days ago a party of men and boys, while
out gunning, near Raub's, in the neighborhood
of Rfugtown, discovered the skeleton of a man.
Ho appeared to be well dreased, having on new
boots, good clothing. &e. About his clothes
were found a Catholic prayer-book, a pistol,
some keys, three clay pipes and a watch chain.
When found he was lying on a declivity; about
him were his bat and overcoat. A coroner's jury
was empannelled, who, after viewing the case,
came to the conclusion that he was one of the
party who, about a year ago, attacked the house
of Mr. Henry Rapp, near the place above-men
tioned, where Mr. Johnson was killed, and Mr.
Rapp severely wounded. It is supposed, from
circumstantial evidence, that the man, after being
shot by Johnson, left the main body of as
sailants and took to the woods, (he
being tracked in the direction for some
41stancc,) tying a handkerchief (which was
found on im) around .his body
to prevent the blood from dropping and thus
enable his pursuers to track him. Persons living
in the neighborhood bad often noticed the efflu
via, peculiar to a dead body long exposed, but
could not account for it. Remarkable to state,
the skin was in a good state of preservation, bat
everything else, save the bones was decayed.
The body was lying twenty yards from the road,
and had, it is supposed, been there since the '2lst
of last March, just a year ago. His remains were
buried on the spot.
