Thursday, April 10, ISO% OA TO THE PACIFIC. While the country at large is intensely in terested in national affairs; while the South is still embarrassed' and paralyzed, under the baleful effects of the policy which has arrested the work of reconstruction: while at the seat of government, the Chief Magistrate is upon' trial for his high crimes and misdemeanors, and the whole nation waits anxiously to be relieved of his mischief-working power; while the agriculturist is preparing to plant his crops, and the merchant is commencing his spring trade;, while the political world is be ginning to heave with the throes of a great national contest at the' polls; while some of the great industrial interests of the eountry rest in stagnant torpor, and others are en grossed with their own individual successes;far, out at the West the great work upon the na tional highway to the Pacific moves forward , with unfailing steadiness and speed. All through the winter this wonderful enterprise Ms been pressed onward. The long season of snow and storm and frost has failed to arrest the march of this greatest of modern •enter *prises for a single day. Prom Omaha, on the Missouri river, to San Francisco, is about 1,800 miles. Already, 550 miles of the traion Pacific railroad are completed, carrying the iron track fairly across Nebraska into the ter 7itory of Dacotah, already scaling the Laramie, or northern range of the Rocky Mountains, the highest point which the road is to traverse. With equal energy the Cen tral Pacific has been pushing eastward from Sacramento all winter, already across the frowning heights of the Sierra Nevada, and far down its eastern slopes toward the rising sun. There is every reason to believe that at least 400 miles of the Central will be in running order this season. At the eastern or Omaha end of the line, extensive preparations have been made for the summer and fall work. The rails for 200 miles of additional track are already on the ground, and the company is making all its calculations upon the comple tion of 300 miles during the present year. Should these expectations be realized,—and there is no reason to doubt that they will,— two-thirds of the entire 1800 miles will be finished this year, with the gratifying pro speot of a working connection across the whole line, at least a year sooner than was at first supposed possible. There is a positive grandeur about the steadiness with which this great American idea is being carried for ward. The physical obstacles which are being overcome are so enormous, the results, both imitediitte and prospective, are so real, the management of the Mtge financial department of the work - has been so admirable, that it seems to com bine all the enthusiasm and audacity of American enterprise with the solid, substan tial, enduring characteristics of the greatest achievements of capital and labor in the Old World. The people at large have already come to appreciate much of the national advantages of the Pacific Railroad system. They see in it not only great commercial and social, but also great political benefit. They sec in it the solution of the Indian problem.. They recog nize it as the essential pioneer in whose steps the great tide of emigration already flows with an impatient flood. They see how the wide wastes of the West are to spring up into garden spots and to teem with the coming millions of the republic, as the great highway opens before them. They see that in peace and in war this wonderful iron band is to hold the people together and give security and prosperity to the whole vast nation. The Congress of the United States has done Wisely in its liberal aid to these great Pacific enterprises. Contributing land and funds to ward their construction, Congress only gives for the people what the people are to receive again. The results already achieved by the Union Pacific Railroad prove how substantial is the security of the investment. Belling its-first' mortgage bonds at par with their accrued interest, for currency, the*Com pany pays its principal and interest in gold, and the business already done upon the un finished portions of the road fully justifies this liberal disposal of its securities. Its revenue from local trade is already largely in advance of the interest on its bonded debt, and this must increase with the opening of eaeh additional section of the road. The enterprise which binds the shores of the Atlantic and the Pacific together .is therefore not ()sly of the first national importance and interest, but it is one which attracts the attention of all who are seeking safe and pro fitable investments for capital. THE WHISKY TAX. The members of the Philadelphia Drug Ex change have prepared a brief memorial to Congress, setting forth, in concise and forci ble terms, the necessity for a large reduction of the tax upon whisky. The leading ar gument of this document is the oft repeated one, that, while the present large tax, by placing such a heavy premium upon fraud, produces a very small revenue for the Gov ernment, it disables honest manufacturers who,will not purchase spirits at prices which are a certain indication of fraudulent produc tion,and wholly excludes them from competi tion with persons who are less scrupulous in their dealings. The memorial enforces these assertions with a statement to the effect that the members of the Drug Exchange who en tered into solemn agreement in March of last year not to phrchase Whisky at a price below the Government tax, have gradually seen their trade in all articles into whose composi tion whisky enters, pass into the hands of persons who were not bound by considera tions of honor or, fidelity to the Government; They insist that at last the alternative is pre sented to them to maintain the law and incur the ruin of their business; or to violate it, and become accessory to fraud in• order to earn their daily bread. The memorialists assert that the manufac- tare of chemicals which depend upon alcohol sea medium or a material, is larger in, this city and its vicinity than in all the rest of the 'United States, and that the useful c,onsump tion of distilled spirits, is more fatly repre sented in the Philadelphia Drug ,Exchange than in any other organization in the country; about 800,000 gallons being used annually. Not only therefore are their wishes in the matter worthy of attentive consideration, but - their opinion ie of the utmost value, and when they assert that that the reduction of the tax to fifty cents per gallon would, in a great measure, bring distillation back to its legitimate channels, and their belief that' even a tax of twenty-five cents per gallon would increase the amount of revenue, by extending the quantity of whisky consumed, it is but just that our Legislators should defer to their superior knowledge. These memorialists are men of high stand ing in this community. In their -staunch loyalty to the Government and the laws, they have suffered incalculable pecuniary loss, and where the temptation to indulge complicity with fraud has been almost overwhelming, they have acted uprightly, and honorably. It is due to them then, if not to a community that is fast being demoralized by the fraud and rascality practised to an appalling ex tent against the whisky laws, that the tax should be reduced. These are honest men who demand protection now from Congress. The present law is simply an avenue to wealth for rogues. Congress owes it to the honora ble industry which the memorialists repre sent, to afford instantly the relief which they demand. CRUELTY TO ANIMALS* The Pennsylvania Society for the Preven tion of Cruelty to Animals having been incor porated by the Legislature,met yesterday,and effected a permanent organization, under the new charter. The Society has done a most sensible thing in removing Dr. Wilson C. Swann from the positions of President and Treasurer, and electing S. Morris Waln,Esry., and Robert R. Corson to the two offices. It is generally understood that the former Presi dent is the author of the absurd tracts called "The Walk and Conversation of Mr. Town send," which have brought so much ridicule upon this most worthy Society, and it was a most judicious step on the part of the cor porators to start afresh under better auspices. The peculiar work of such a society needs the utmost!good judement on the part of its officers. Its sphere of operations is so unde fined that it is not difficult to • step over that boundary line which separates "the sublime from the ridiculous." So long as the Society confines itself to a vigorous prosecution of its crusade against those forms of cruelty to animals which appeal to the common sense of all citizens for redress, it will be heartily sustained by the community. But when it descends to the silly puerilities and senti mental nonsense which pervade the "Walk and conversation of Mr. Town send," sensible people turn away from it with disgusted contempt. We wish the Society the fullest success in its new career. The gentlemen who are now prominent in its organization are practical, clear-headed, sen sible men, and if it is possible to put a stop to the outrageous treatment of the dumb animals, whose abuse has called for the for mation of this Society, we doubt not that it will now be done. The Legislature has given the Society the poWers for which. it asked, and we trust that they will be exercised with such vigorous promptitude and such wise discrimination as to be productive of much good. THE LA'VES'Ir HORROR. While the officers of the Erie Railroad Company are squabbling over verbose writs, formal affidavits, fearfully and wonderfully made mandamuses and other legal contrivances,—offensive and de fensive,—a train of cars is,broken in twain and a portion of them is sent crashing over jagged rocks down a precipice a hundred feet high, mangling the occupants of the cars, and roasting alive those who had not been killed outright by the splinters and torn iron work of the crashing vehicles. This roasting alive of passengers has become a common incident of railway accidents and it is a re proach to the inventive spirit of the age that no means have been devised of warming cars without rendering them liable to conflagra tion in the event of a mishap. A small \ portion of the zeal and expense devoted to the fight' with Commodore Vanderbilt and the New York "Central," turned in the di rection of steel-rails and precautions againt conflagration, would have saved a score of precious lives, prevented horrid maimings and spared heart-aches innumerable to sur viving friends and relatives. In Europe there are no such frightful disasters as this. Rot-water arrangements for the feet take the place of our red-hot stoves, and in the event of a crash there is not the added horror of fierce flames to lick through the shattered cars and destroy by a dreadful death the maimed and entangled passengers. A re form is loudly called for. The railroad com panies can effect it most intelligently. Fail ing to do it there will be legislation in obe dience to the demands of an imperilled traveling piffilie.

Another and very important consideration in determin ing the value of three bonds is THE LENGTH OF TIME THEY HAVE TO RUN. It is well known that a long bond always commands a much higher price than a short one. With the United States of 1f67, having five years to run, at from 7 to per cert. premium. the 6d. of Iteel, running thirteen years before Maturity. bring 4to r per cent. more.

The following amusing report, at the expense ^ ---- saf the proprietor of the New York Herald, ap pears in the Tribune to-day: The announcement that Mr. James Gordon Bennett, and other prominent backers of the Gettysburg Lottery swindle, had, with a sense of justice only equaled by their munificent gene rosity and their ttniimited resources, volunteered to refund to the ticket-holders the amount of their unlucky investment, drew together at the corner of Broadway and Ann street, yesterday morning, one of the largest crowds ever as eon bled in New York. The people began to gather at an early hour, and some, we under stand, were on the ,ground before dawn. 13y 734 o'clock the streets were entirely blocked up, And a detachment of police were ordered to the scene. The struggling multitude—each man, woman and child with tiekete in hand, and copies of the !Jerald, containing indorsements of the Gettysburg lottery, in their pockets, - were then formed in line, the ttaette extending from the doer of the &tub./ 'office across' the Broad. way Bridge and entirely around SL Paul's Church. A good deal of Impatience was mani fested while they waited for the doors to be opened, and we regret. to !earn that Mr. Bennett's very handsome behavior was not drily apprecia ted, many 111-conditioned fellows affecting to doubt whether the money would be refunded,and even going so far as to damn Mr. Bennett very distinctly. Some had brought refreshments with them, and .whiled away the hours with the help of cold coffee, sandwiches, peanuts and other delicacios,while ninny more amused themselves by whittling and exchanging unchrtiplimentary re. marks with the oinnious drivers as theypassed under the bridge. The reporters and sub-editors coming down to their daily work were utterly unable to reach their respective rooms, the stairways being so densely crowded with ticket-holders that movement was impossible. The employes consequently repaired to a neighboring saloon, where they passed the most of the day. Any shortcomings worse than usual which may be noticed in the paper to-day will be attributable to this cause. About 10 o'clock the cry was raised that Mr. Bennett was coming. and a spliemodie struggle ran along the line, which by this time extended up Broadway nearly to Chambers street. The veteran Journalist soon appeared, arm-in-arm with Honest Miles O'Reilly, and followed by Mr. James Gorden Bennett, - Jr., whe carried in a striped carpet-bag the accumulated savings of his father's long and honorable career. The party were afoot, and six of the largest police men of the Broadway squad accompanied them as a guard, Tim door of the Herald office once reached, their difficulties began. The crowd on the staircase was so firmly wedged in place that it was Impossible to make way for them, and it • was finally determined - to pass them over the people's heads. A large Irish woman seized Mr. Bennett, Sr., by the leg, several men grasped him by the arms, and so he was passed along. Mr. Bennett, Jr., was next sent up in the game way, still holding the bag, and Miles O'Reilly came last. What occurred during the passage our re portercould not learn, but a great deal of scuffling and swearing was audible by those below, and the legs of Mr. Ben nett, Er., when they disappeared in the door way, were ima state of violent agitation. Pay ment of the ticket-holders was commenced as soon as the three gentlemen had adjusted their toilets. The business was transacted in the inner editorial sanctum Mr. Bennett, Sr., seated on a high stool in the middle of the room receiving the appli cants, while the younger Bennett paid out the money and Miles O'Reilly took charge of the redeemed tickets. Although every legitimate method was employed to protrhc t the ceremony, and quite a large proportion of the holders were persuaded by The Boy to take it out in advertising (principally under the heads of "Situations wanted," and "Personal," it became evident by two', o'clock that the resources ,of the establishment i would be unequal to the demand. Miles generously threw his entire private fortune into the carnet-bag,and the elder Mr. Bennett took the unsold - balance of the morning's edition of his paper (nearly 10,000 copies),borrowed a hand-cart of Mr. Dennis Mal doon, a respectable lieensed porter doing busi ness in Ann street, and carried it to a dealer in paper stock, who bought it for a fair price. All, however, was in vain. At 4 o'clock payment was suspended. By this time about 5.000 persons had received a dollar each. The rest of the crowd dis persed 'with less disorder than might reasonably have been expected,and an hour later Broadway had resumed its wonted appearance. It was an nounced, however, that at noon to-day the yacht Henrietta Awould be sold at auction in the herald editorial rooms, and the amount, realized from the sale would be devoted to the liquidation of the outstanding claims. The sale will doubt less be well attended, as many who do not in tend to bid will probably avail themselves of the opportunity to inspect the sacred recesses of the office. It' is hoped that arrangements can be made which will allow of the paper being pub lished as, usual, notwithstanding the serious drain upon its capital. SCENES AT 'WASHINGTON incurs. A great many of the ticket-holders, not sup posing that Mr. Bennett'would be in town yester day, resolved to seek him at his private residence, and the roads leading to Washington Hights were consequently alive with vehicles and pedes trians from an early 'hour in the day. Honest laboring men, many of them accompanied by their wives and children, trudged wearily along • afoot, and others, who were able to afford a more comfortable mode of traveling, clubbed together and hires grimers'wagons and butchers' carts,and ramie the trip a sort of holiday excurelon, The Bloomingdale road was as lively as the road to Epsom on the day of the Derby. or that to Ford barn at the opening of the Jerome Park races. When our reporter loft the scene at a late hour last night, Mr. Bennett had not yet'made hie ap pearance, and his grounds were completely oc cupied by family parties who, having made a pic nic there all day; had resolved to camp out for the night. THIRD EDITION. BY TELEGRAPH. WASHING-TON. THE IMPEtioHMENT TRIAL. STANI3ERY STILL ILL. The Case Proceeds Without Him. The !Board of Managers. Correependenciof the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] WASIIINOTON p April 16,—According to their custom, the Irdpeachment Managers met this morning in the room of the House Committee on the Judiciary. Having no particular busi ness before them, the matters relating to the trial which were touched upon were only such as came up in the course of the general conversation. Part, at least of the Man agers think favorably of the proposition to have the speeches of those Managers' who can not be heard in the Senate delivered in the souse, in Committee of the Whole, before the case is closed in the Court' but It is probable that the matter will not come before the House as a measure reported by the Managers. It is determined that the arguments of all the Managers who choose to make them shall go be fore the country in some "form. The result of the prevailing impression that the trial is drawing to a close is a growing disposition to hold business sessions each day in both Houses, not with a view of sending bills to the present Executive for signature, but to advance the vari ous measures that require time, so that the ses sion need not continue all summer.

On motion of Mr. Conneas it was laid on the table by a vote of 22 to 11. Mr. Stanbery was not present, but Mr. Everts said they would proceed as far as possible with out him. Walter S. Cox, a lawyer of Georgetown, was called by the defence, and asked when his con nection with the case of Stanton vs. Thomas commenced, and when, by whom and under what circumstances he was employed. Mr. Butler objected, But the Chief Jteitice ruled that he might an swer the first part of the question. Witness said he was sent for February 22, and went to the White House at fivf; o'clock. He was proceeding to state what the President said,when Mr. Butler again objected, and demanded that countel should put in writing what they expect to prove. Tho counsel proposed to prove that the Presi dent employed Mr. Cox to procure a judicial de cision by filing a quo warrant°. Mr. Butler argued that the President did not appear in the record of the case, and the writ should have been filed by the Attorney-General. Mr. Evarts rejoined that the President had made the caso his own and could not appear in it, and the Attorney-General approved the em ployment of Mr. Cox: Mr. Butler argued at length the doctrine of estoppel. • Arrival of a Steamer.

Stranding of a Schooner in Lake inichigan-.Perilous Rescue of Five Dien. (From the Chicago'Republic:ln of April 14th While all the lake chore has shared the general effect and intensity of the severe and protracted gales, it has fallen to our neighboring suburb of Hyde Park to un dergo a sensation only a little lees thrilling than the loss of the Sea Bird, and with a sequel that by diet of great daring relieved it front loss of, life, although it was a very narrow escape for the brave fellows exposed. At an early hour on Sunday morning, in the height of the gale, mine host Kimball, of the Hyde Park House. discovered a vessel laboring heavily and evidently driving at the mercy of wind and wave in the direction of the little pier that puts out from Hyde Park, Two hours later the distressed craft beached heavily, the sea making over her with great force. The situation of the crew. six men in all, was now full of peril. Heeding a stout line to a float of planks with great difficulty, they got communication with the shore. where the boarders of the hotel and t' e inhabitants of the neighborhood had already astembled in considerable numbers to rends'what aid they could. The line was made fast at the shore end, any. hanging to it for safety, two or three men rushed into the surf neck deep to extend a belittles hand to the exhausted seamen as they should make their way, hand-over.hand, through the rollers to the beach. The first man rescued was nearly exhausted be fore he came within reach; but he was seized by strong arms and carried out to land and handed ever to others who hurried him to a place of warmth and safety beneath the hospitable roof of the Hyde Park Hotel. And eo with the others. One by one as they ventured along the rope. now making a little headway, aid in a moment buried out of sight by the surf, they were met and carried out, until all save the one were relieved - , he, poor fellow the mate, with a broken leg, left on board. The accident had taken place during the previews night by the shifting of the cargo if lumber. The vessel was the schooner Gertrude. Smallman master, which had been compelled by stress of weather to leave the pier at St. Joseph, Mich. on Saturday about noon. She 'was fully loaded with a cargo of hardwood plank and black walnut boards. Her departure was so sudden that eho sailed without her yard which was on the beach. During the night she encoun tered very heavy winds and a fearful sea: cbmbating which she sprung a leak which kept all hand at the pumps; and to add to her misfortune, the spray, dashing over her, froze to the sails and rigging, eo that at daylight, when she found her self neer the mouth of our harbor, she was hopeleeely water-logged and unable to stir tack or sheet. About thin time, the mato at the piunps, working away for dear life,' had his leg broken be the shifting of the deck load, and was carried below. The remainder of the crew,benumbed by geld and exhausted by the night's severe toil. were D owerless to do aught except to keep which aid of the lib —the only sail set—before the wind, they did, and steered for the nearest shore. A boat was finally manned and sent to the rescue of the mate, Hansen who was still on the wrecked vessel, The party found him standing on one leg, holding on by the berth, waiting as patiently as he could, for death or de liverance. Ile was soon taken safely to shore, and his wants, with these of the other exhausted crow, properly attended to. 51r. Geo. D. Kimball, the proprietor of the Hyde lark Hotel, did all in his power to make the suffer ers comfortable, and to minister to all their wants. Han- Ben was sent to the Marine Hospital. The vessel I. apparently hopelessly stranded, nod will probably be broken up.. She was an old craft, but in good repair, owned in part by the master, and in part by Haat man and others of this city. We understand that she was insured. —The Marquise do Manbreuil, the infamous Caroline Schumacher, is going to leave Paris, and will henceforth live in New York. Her far niture has recently been sold at auction. mil brought together about sixty thousand francs. Her fortune is estimated at half a million francs.

(Continued from Third Editiou.l Mr. Curtis said the remarks of Mr. Butler re quired no reply, and in answer to Mr. Ferry stated that counsel did not propose to disprove the record, but would show that the motion to discharge General Thomas was made only when his lawyers saw no hope of procuring a judicial decision as to the constitutionality of the act. The argument was continued by Messrs. Wil son and Evarts as to the admlssibilityof evidence concerting the Intent of the President. The Chief Justice ruled that evidence to show that the President employed lawyers to obtain a decision of the constitutionality of the tenure act was admissible, in support of the denial of the first article, in accordance with the former vote of the Senate, and with cthe principles of law and right. Yeas and nays 29 to 21. Bo the evidence was admitted. The President told witness that he desired to have proceedings instituted to test its constitutionality, And wished. him to consult with Mr. Stanbery, who had been too busy. to look into the matter.

Herald.] Arad. 16.—The Meng of an impending breakdown in the etock market are multiplving on all sidee, and the litter demoralization of the bull clignee, by which it is alone enetained, would seem to be near at hand. These cliques have been parasites upon the body public for a long time past, and their extermination would, to use a homely proverb, be a good riddance of bad rubbish. They have iirfiated prices inordinately and "milked the street" sys tematically at frequent intervals with an unscrupulous. nets which, when exposed, is calculated to do anything but tempt the outside public into their skillfully laid traps. Their reign Is over, however, and it is only a ques tion of how little less they can escape with. A reaction has at length set in from the inflation of the lad few years , . and the break in Atlantic and Pacific. Mail, followed by the break of from five to eight per cent. in express shares to-day is only the precursor of still greater havoc ;n the tailicay 'ewe market, and the pros. tratlon which has overtaken railway property in Wie land and France la more than likely to he experienced here. Sir. Morten l'eto came over to this country in the plenitude, to all appearances,of hiewenlth and power.bnt like Hudson, the railway king before him, he failed, and his collapse was the mod inglori e one of its kind . we can remember, because it was shown that lie had been wilfully keeping up false appearances for years; and why are the magnates or our own /Mock Exchange more exempt than the two men mentioned were from failure? This bubble, which has been growing to long, mud be pricked in the public interest; bet apart from that the natural tendency of pricee on the Stock Exchange is downward towards legi timate values. Government securities and first clew city and railway bonds are worth what they are Felling for, and therefore will, or at least should not decline, but the speculative railway and other stock, are selling far above their real value. No eix per cent. rail way shares are worth 116, and no eight per cent. °nee worth 126 and much lees are non-dividend paying etocke, under existing eircumetanceieworth what they are gelling for. We have been warning the, public for some months past of the panic with whichishe market was threatened, and now that the danger is full upon it we repeat our ad. monition. especially to the banks. These institte flow are unfortunately loaded up with speculative stocks, upon which they have advanced more than their real value and they etand in a petition where 'they are, liable. to become the virtual owners of Linty of these securities .it any time. We have only to point to Atlantic and Pacific Mail and the express stocks for instances in illustration, and when a .steamship stock roes down more than eixty.two per cent. in a single day it is reasonable to Infer that rail way stocks may go down far and tart enough to sweep away all or dinary margins. The banks ehould, therefore, in the in terest of their depositors, look carefully to their loans, and the Comptroller of the Currency should nt once ox amirie into the condition of their affairs, as he is autho rized to do by the National Currency act, and Congress eliould amend the National Currency act so as to make it unlawful to loan on speculative securities to the • . extent they have been hitherto doing. In this way some c f the Wail street institutions may avoid the fate of the Credit Mobilier in France, which faired with all its enorenouecapitaL simply became of the depreciation in value of the stocks upon which it had made advances. The borrowers were unable to take up their loans, and the. Credit Mobilier became the owner of the collaterale, in which there was no market. The London !Janke were similarly diddled with a heavyload of speculative deckle amp hence the failure of some of their namber in the panic of lE6e. The storm here is only brewing and therefore there is yet time foreail to be taken in before it sweeps away the gaudy fabric that has been reared by the gam blers of the Stock Exchange. The distrust of money lenders iii increasing, and the demand for loans today was very sharp, the legal rate in gold being paid in not a few instances. The bunko are beginning to perceive the danger of their own Attrition. and hence they aro very careful in their scrutiny of collaterals and margine,ae they may well be- Governments and other securities of un doubted value are, however, loaned upon freely. [From to-day's World.l Arnie 15.—The policy of the Treasury Department in rocking up greenbacks in the Aesistant Treasury is telling severely on the money market The Assistant Treasurer' continues to sell gold daily at the rate of about *50Q,,000, and avoids buying eevezeth idles , . by offering at all times and per cent. below the lowest market quotation. The result Is. that no Treasury notes are bought by Go vernment and the greenbacks are daily locked ap in the Assistant Treateirv, and the banks are drained of their legal money. The attempt of Secretary :McCulloch to force does xi the price of seven-thirties for the purpcee of burying them cheap has coot the bodueve community and Wall street at least 81)0000.00a in extra interest and reduced market values. Every legitimate in terest in the country has been made to suffer loos by this action of the Treasury Department. and if Mr. McCulloch permits it to continue, it will affect the whole spring trade diesetronely. This matters requires Mr. McCulloch'e prompt attention. Mr. Van Dyck. the Assistant Treasurer, offered to buy Pc .eiwthirtiee yesterday, at 106 when the price was 106ie to lettie, and to day his price is 10D and the market price is Me e to 1063 Tho Government setae of gold, to-day, were over $54,000 and the Goelemment brokers were sell ing to the close of the market The money market, although rates were not high, was as stringent as on any day of the last three weeks. Call loans ranged from 7 per cent, in currency to 7 pet cent. in gold. but all borrowers were supplied before 3P. M., and the banks are acting liberally. Mr. Van Dyck has locked up ?1,190 .430 since yeeterday, the balance in the Assistant Treasury being, to night, $103,759.666 against $102.56.4,235 yesterday. If Mr. Van r yck pursues the same policy to morrow, that he has done to-day, of telling gold and buying no seven-thirties, the money pressure will be greater to-morrow. The whole responsibility for the pre sent tightness in the money market rests on the Treasury Department The Government bond market was steady, and only ruiell lots were offered 'at the quotations. The large dealers are buying and selling ea little as possible. A. prominent Government bond firm delivered to day to the Assistant Treasury a very large amount of seven thirties to be converted into bonds, and as they had sold theme horde ehort and borrowed them, they have notified the parties from whom they borrowed them that they will return them to morrow on receiving them from Govern ment. The money pressure has made this a very profit able transaction. The check market was unsettled and pricee declined. more especially in the express stocks and miscellaneous list, in which the decline was most heavy. Toward the close there was a little improvement and more disposition to buy. Erie was sold down 66M on the report of the acci dent on the road, which was made the most of by the bears paradine a cart with a large placard, up and down Bread street, in front of the Exchange, for which the car man wee paid $4. Tire foreign exchange market was quiet, as mural after the sailing of the packet, and rates were firm on the bluffs of Mee to i 093 for prime bankers' sixty-day sterling bills. The gold market ranged between 13114 e and 138.'e, open ing at 1.981 e, and clotting at 138ee at 3 P.M. The rates paid for carrying were 7. 714, 8, 364 and 1.32. After the hoard adjourned the quotations were 13801383 e. MARRIED. GILLESPIE -FEABODY.—On the morning of the hlth of April, at Grace Church, by the Rey. Dr. fiuddardd, Mr. Charles H.

PAnts, April 16.—The hostility which has for a long time existed betweed the Baron Von Bud berg, Russian Ambassador at Paris, and Baron Meyendorf,whq formerly held the same position, culminated in a duel yesterday afternoon. The affair occurred at a secluded spot near Munich, Bavaria. At the first fire Baron Von Budburg fell severely but not fatally wounded. He 'name-. diately returned to Paris, and it is announced to day that he will resign his office as Russian Minister forthwith. COPENHAGEN, April 16.—The negotiations be tween Denmark and Prussia, relative to the dis puted territory in Schleswig and Holstein, is apparently as far from a conclusion as ever.

[l9ppeial Deepatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bullet's:Ll WasnEiGnis, Aprill6.—The House Committee of Ways and Means are holding daily sessions to complete the new 'revenue law, and good pro gress Is being made. It is expected that it will take about three weeks yet to get it complete and in shape to present to the House. The estimation in which the Senate hold Col. Wisewell, whom the President nominated as Commigsioncr of Internal Revenue in place of Hon. E. A. Rollins, may be judged from the fact that when a motion came up before the. Senate to reconsider his rejection, he did not obtain a single vote. Even the Democrats,.including the President's son-in-law, Senator Patterson, voted against him. It is announced at the Revenue Department that the tax upon sales by manufacturers,imposed by section four of the receat revenue law, is re turnable in the district where the articles are manufactured, instead of the district where the sale is made, where the Manufacture and sale are not in the same district. The Impeachment Trial. (Special Deepatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.) WasiliNGTo24, April 16th.--Several , questions were put to the witness Cos and were ruled out, but he was finally allowed to say what he did to get a writ quo warrant°, which, it seems, he tried to get through the District Attorney, who declined to act without instructions from the At torney-General. He was not allowed to say what that °dicer said, and the counsel an-. nounced that they were through with the witness. By the Cuba Cable.

(Continued from Fourth Edltion.i The question was asked—What did you do to wards getting 'out a writ tif habeas corpus by di rection of the President? Objected to and question admitted by a vote of 27 to 23. Answer—l tried to have General Thomas com mitted to prison, but Mr. Stanton's counsel ap plied for a postponement, and Chief Justice Can ter said he should not be held in custody. Wit ness then moved for his discharge, expecting to force his committal, but to his disap2ointment the motion was granted. The Senate refused to allow the witness to de tail a conversation he had with the President on the same evening, and the President's counsel then asked—" After reporting this to the Presi dent, diclyott do any other acts in pursuance of his previous instructions to test the constitution ality of the Tenure of Office act, and If so, what were they ?" Objected to, and the objection sustained by a vote of 27 to 23. Witness resumed—The next day I applied to the District-Attorney, to sign an injunction In the nature of a quo warranto, which he declined to do without the au th ority of the' Attorney-General. I then visited Mr. Stanbery and took his opinion. Witness was not allowed to state what this opinion was, and the Senate took a recess of 15 minutes. The Erie Railroad Accident.
