TH PECAWS OF ittIiNCALCILIIILINtIN General Butler. made an earnest protest yes lierday, in the Impeachment Court, against all lbeediese delays in the progress of the , trial, and`it is very evident that hia speech upon this point expresses the best•sentiment of the peo ple on the subject. The feeling. that Andrew Johnson is, to-day, the great obstruction to the'progrees of the country at large, gains ground•eontinually,and there is an impatience to see him removed from the office which he has eotleeply disgraced, which can scarcely be repressed. So well is the fact understood at ' theßnath that Andrew Johnson Is in full sym .patby, politically, with the ex-rebel element, that his continuance in office tends only to stir up 'fresh internal disturbances, and to make thnenemies of the country every ~d ay more bold and impudent in their hos tllity to everything that is loyal and true to the government under which we live. Gen eralltutler spoke no more than the ' truth when he said that the murders and outrages Dowse common in the South would cease the moment Andrew Johnson was removed from bilk*, And it is not strange that the au dience was moved to an open demonstration of applause as he eloquently depicted the evils of unnecessary delay. •And yet it is hard to see how the trial could have gone en much more rapidly, underull the circumstances. , The Managers have certainly lost no time, nor have the President's counsel resorted to any dilatory oxpedients. They have caused great loss of 'time by their endeavors to force in evidence 'which they had no right to offer, and in re slating which, the Managers have been corn polled -to make frequent and often lengthy arguments. Ana in these efforts they have sometimes been successful, in consequence of the want of some more stringent rules for the management of the trial. The Managers are, of course, bound to resist the admission of improper testimony, and in most cases the Senate, with all its disposition to give the President the largest latitude, has acknowledged the correctness of General Butler's objections. It is not proba ble that the trial will be protracted much lon ger. ;Unless the President's counsel contin ues to offer inadmissible witnesses and testi mony, they will be likely to get all their evi (knee in in the next few days. The argu ments should not last over a week, and the trial should close and this fearful Presidential incubus be removed before the month ex pires. To promote this speedy termination, so aevoutly to be wished for, the Senate ought certainly to extend the length of its sessions. All other Courts open at ten o'clock and, in important cases, sit the'greater portion of the day. When Andrew Johnson issued his order for the Assassination Thal, he directed "that said trial be conducted with all dili gence consistent with the ends of justice; the said Commissiou to sit without regard to hours." The Senate would do well to take this leaf out of Johnson's own book, and apply it to the present trial. A few hours added to the daily session would shorten the proceedings by several days. By all means, ]et us have a little more of the daily time of these grave and reverend Senators. THE -OLD PUBLIC FuNcrioNAltv. The Washington correspondent of the Cin cinnati Gazetto tells the - story of a disclosure that has been made to the Managers since the commencement of the Impeachment trial. it Seems that the party making the disclosure is a South Carolina Unpn man, and the cor respondent in question tells the story with evident doubts as to whether it can possibly be true. The narrative, as made to the man tigers, and as repeated by the correspondent of the Gazette, is to the effect that in the winter of 1860-Q, before Major Anderson. had left Fort Moultrie for kumter, a small boat one night approached the landing before the gate of .111oultrie,and was hailed by the sentry. The gentleman in the boat sent word to the commander of the fort that he was the bearer of a message from the President of the United States. It was after midnight, and Major Anderson, on being aroused to receive the message, sent word that he would see the gentleman in the morning. In a few mo ments the sentry returned. The gentleman said he was instructed by the President or the United States to deliver a certain mes sage; that his instructions required him to deliver it 'forthwith ; that he had used all pos sible despatch in presenting himself, and that he, must insist on being received without delay. Thereupon Major Anderson hastily dressed himself, and ordered his untimely and pertinacious visitor to be admitted. The gentleman proved to be an offi cer holding a responsible position in the civil service of the Government in South Carolina. Ile presented a communication addressed to the commanding officer in Charleston harbor, and signed "James Bu chanan, President of the United States." It required him to deliver, on receipt of the order, fifty cases of rifled arms, then in his possession, to the civil authorities of the State of South Carolina. Major Anderson remon strated. The bearer of the order persisted. "There is the band-writing," he said, "of your Commander-In-Chief; I insist upon obedience to its requirements." Or, if the Major were unwilling to obey, he insisted 'Upon an explicit statement to that effect. Thu pressed, the well-intentioned officer saw no escape from obedience, and an order for the delivery of the guns was signed. Theme were the guns, the South Carolinian w'ho 44dtee these statements adds,with which sharhaoters afterwards picked off our sol diers it the embrasures of Sumter, while the kastugents reduced the fort. The 6:04, that there were none of the gar- noon at Sa Into "000 off by sharp-shOoteral 1 during thO progress of the bombardmfl, Iweakens the Anne o 1 the story of the fibuth barotina Unicil man; but there is signitlcane,e in one fact that the correspondent states, to the erect that the }tanager from whom be obtained tie story 'said that if the South Caro ; linian told the truth, "we ought yet to try and hang James Buchanan.", If there are any i serious ti:Aging of bringing the o.' P. F. to justice for his sins of Presidential omission and commission, there are more serious charges against him than the transfer of a beggarly fifty cases of rifled muskets to the rebels. Isaac Toucey, a renegade New Englander; scattered the ships of the American Nayy in dis tant seas, so that they could be of no service to the Union cause when the blow was struck; Howell Cobb, the treacherous Secretary of the Treasury, true to his rebel instincts, depleted the treasury at a time when money was as important as men and arms to the cause of the Union, and the thief Floyd car ried off arms from under Mr. Buchanan's eye in such quantities that the fifty cases of Major Anderson become a mere bagatelle in comparison. Pollard, the Southern historian of the war, thus glorifies Floyd's achievment in the thieving line : "It bad been supposed that the Southern people, poor in manufactures as they were, and in the haste of preparation for the mighty con test that was to ensue, would find themselves but illy ptovidtd with arms to contend with an enemy rich in the means and munitions of war, This disadvantage had been provided against by the timely act clone man. Mr. Floyd, of Vir ginia, when Secretary of War under Mr. Bn chanan's administration, had, by a single order, effected the transfer of 115,000 improved Mlle kets and rides from the Springfield Armory and Wa tervleit Arsenal to different arsenals at the South." If the Managers of the Impeachment trial desire to bring James Buchanan to justice at the eleventh hour, let them charge, him with something worth considering. The fifty cases-of-rifled-arms-story is a petty affair in comparison with the wholesale treason that was practised without the pretence of dis guise in his own official family when the war was impending. The day for trying and punishing James Buchanan by any .form of law has gone by. But he cannot escape the verdict of history. That verdict is now crys talizing into form. There is but one ques tion in doubt, to wit : Whether the "Old Public Functionary" was in conscious and deliberate league with traitors and rebels, or whether he was a weak and irresponsible syniKES. As a general rule, there are no sooner indi cations of a revival in trade than employing mechanics and capitalists, whe contemplate extensive enterprises and heavy investments, find Themselves perplexed and embarrassed by strikes, eight-hour combinations and other movements among operatives that render it impossible for the employer to make a con tract upon a certain basis, or for the capitalist to lay any plan that'is not liable to a sudden overturning. All over the country, at this time, there are murmers of strikes and trade movements, and working people who have been idle during a large portion of a severe winter, inaugurate the return of active em ployment by commencing to cease work unless their demands, are complied with. Every man is entitled to receive the ultimate farthing that his labor will pro duce; but in securing this end he should re member that there are other interests beside his own that are entitled to consideration, and that between the - employer and himself there are ties of mutual advantage that can- not be severed without damage to both par ties. Unfortunately, strikes are generally commenced by the most worthl6ss and un principled men among working people, and they are based up . on the general idea that there is a natural antagonism between Capital and Labor, and that the ends and aims of the working man can be best accomplished by quarreling with his employer. This fatal error has caused much loss and misery, and we are glad to read of the action of the jour neymen shoemakers, at a meeting which they held a few nights since, with a view to se curing better compensation for their services. They passed the following resolution : Allred, That as it is our interest that the manufacturer should obtain a fair percentage for the capital he has Invested in his business, such action should be taken as would in future pre 'Vent strikes, which are at all times attended with loss to the employer and journeymen. And we would call the attention of the manufacturers to the idea of having a Committee from the manu facturers and journeymen, for the purpose of set tling all difficulties which may arise between both parties without resorting to strikes." The spirit of this resolution is most excel lent and commendable, and all classes of me chanics and working men would do wisely to be governed by it. THE MAYOR'S MESSAGE. The annual message of Mayor McMichael, which was sent in to City Councils yester day, and which has already appeared in the columns of the BULLETIN, contains much valuable information concerning municipal affairs, and affords to citizens a fair indica tion of the onward progress of the city. If debt be an evidence of a prosperous growth, Philadelphia has a prolific source of self gratulation in her finances. t 1,655,937 25 was added to the funded debt of the city during the year 1867, making the total funded debt $36,1;77,529 37. The recent increase of the city debt is due to the unwil lingness of City Councils to fix a tax rate that is sufficient to meet the demands upon the public treasury. The reform in the system of taxing real estate will tend to the more thorough equalization of public burdens and afford more certain data upon which to fix the rates. A very large portion of the public debt is a legacy of the war. Phila delphia made greater sacrifices for the nation than any other city of the Union. New York incurred a heavy indebtedness; but it was to keep men out of the field and not to put them into the service. In deference to the de mands of her "Dead Rabbits" she paid the commutation money for the men whom she was entitled to furnish, and she gave the Govern'ment money where it wanted men. Philadelphia contributed men, and it spent money with a lavish hand to secure them by the payment of heavy bounties. The New York licrald . *(4 endeatrormg to Wolper with Atop*Helm f3etiti teat and tq sedate thetk froze the Ngh whirl) they owe tb the ecimatry 4 ,4? to THE 11810' 'EVENING BULLETIN FMLAUELPHIA, FraDAY, ArRIL n 'cause laW and justicO. in'One of its late attenOts, in this dilection it says: 'Amy coven !added to the twelve who arc oertiii#t Voge f4r Johnson's acquittqc will` be enough to acquit him." Here •is atf,. oimiaapp eesiPn ; that the DexeOcratit , fiepators have em 7 barked in this trial .a flied de tennination to \ acquit Johnson, and their Votes all through the proceedings, thus thr, show the excellence•cik their drill. Now and then, Reverdy Johnstin breaks away in disgust from this party bondage, and votes according to a laWyer's convictions of right, but, as a rule, he is true to, the preconcerted plan of clearing the criminal of the . White Rouse, at all hazards. The Republicans have showed much elasticity in their votes, but the Democrats, • true to their old habits of drill, stick to their man and let their princi ples look out for themselves. Another, attempt was ,made in Common Council to call up the resolution passed by the Select branch censuring the ten Directors who expelled Major Smith from Girard Col lege. Council, however, again refused, by a vote of 16 to 26, to dispose of this subject. We hope this matter • will be kept before Councils and before the public,until it is fairly and properly disposed • of. Select Council has testified its appreciation of the importance of the subject, and Common Council should not hesitate to meet its proper responsibility with the same manly independence. There is a universal feeling in the community that these ten Directors are justly entitled to the censure which the re port pronounces, and this being so, no con siderations of personal friendship or interest should be allowed to influence Councils in favoring those whose official acts have thus been so generally condemned. A story has been put in circulation that Governor Curtin is about to start, or become connected with, a newspaper to be published in this city. We are authorized to state that there is no foundation, whatever, for this report, Governor Curtin having no idea of entering into any journalistic enterprise, either here or elsewhere. At:our MIL . —Things have changed since the primitive days when the dairy-man milked his cows after night and set out in his wagon to reach town and his customers by peep of day. The ne cessities of the time now compel the employment of middlemen, and probably there is s carcely a quart of milk served to the consumer by the dairyman who produced it. We know nothing concerning the secrets of these go-betweens, but rumor has it that consumers pay more for water (in a milk way) than the regular price fixed by ordinance for unadulterated Fairmount. In an other column will be found a communication from a correspondent who evidently . knows con cerning that which he talks about. He certainly makes out a strong case in favor a systematic distribution of the lacteal commodity by respon sible parties who, as nearly as possible, repre sent the producers.

The army was unencumbered i)y baggage and had already crossed through a mountain pass ranging at an elevation of ten thousand feet above the level of the sea. The second column of the army was one day's march in the rear of the headquartent force,' and' a - number of ele phants carrying the cannon, with the last column two days' march behind. General Napier, with the extreme advance, was sixty miles distant from the fortress of. Magdala. Reports received by the British offieers represent. King Theodorus as having become uneasy at the prospect. The British troops were in good health, and excellent condition and spirits. DISTUILUANCES 18f ISAITABIit. Opposition to Pnumitt—The Town Halt of Traunstein hacked by the Hob, tee., eke. • A Munich lettergives the following details of the disturbances which recently broke out at Tratinstein, in Upper Bavaria, on the formation of the Landwelne The voting men who were ordered to present thems - elves before the revising' council arrived early in the morning, and created a great tumult in the town. They assem bled before the town hall, and commenced pelt ing a entrofficer of gendenenct with snowballs. When admitted into the building they cried out "We will not take the oaths to the King of Prussia I We will not be Prussians !" Two °Meet% who formed part of the couccil en deavored in vain to tranquillize the rioters, who began to destroy the stove, desks, and furniture in the hall. Some raanita were sent for, but no attention was paid to them,and the disturbance only increased. The officers and functionaries were driven from the place, and everything capa ble of being broken was demolished, so that 'there remained neither chairs, tables, doors, nor banisters, to the staircase. The drums were beaten to call out the militia, which consists principally of tradesmen, but only a few officers of the land war -appeared, and they could do nothing against the perturbatore. These smashed all the windows of the town hall, which now looks like a ruin. The shops were closed, and a telegraphic message for troops was sent to Munich. A-simi lar scene took place at Trosbcrg, and another said to be in preparation at Ruppolding. THE SITUATION IN FRANCE.

War 'tumors. [Pane Correspondence &want Geneve.] The political atmosphere is as .amble as the temperature. 'Twas peace yesterday: to-day if it is not war. it is an incline which will conduct us sooner or later to war. A manifesto from the Emperor is spoken of. What will be its tenor? Opinions differ. It will not relate to a modus woldi for the Pope, but will be an exposé of the whole external situation. The Emperor is said to be at times in a state of great political exaltation. When Prince Napoleon paid him a visit the other day, after his return from Berlin, his Maiesty was reading the journals. Taking up I.e Liberie, which alluded to his "senility," he is reported to have said: "See how your friends speak of me. You can assure them they are mistaken. They think me aged, used up : they are wrong. I shall soon show what I can do yet. They will not be kept waiting long--six weeks at most." What does it mean ? Ido not know. All I can tell Non is that if this language was not used, the Palais Royal has some interest In getting it circulated, for I have had it from one who is intimate with Prince Napoleon. The report addressed by Marshal Neil on the organi zation of the Garde' National Mobile Is regarded as a Warlike symptom. The volunteer compa nies are almost regimented. Another warlike symptom Is that M. de Pardine, a naval officer of high rank, has left Toulon for Brest with 16,800 metres of telegraphic wires intended to connect the islands on the coast with the mainland. Mounds are also tb be raised along the coast for the purpose of supporting flying batteries of I orpilles. The Widininglen and Reading Rail ro • (Frew the Wilmington Commercial of the Idth.) The recent strike of a portion of the men hired by sub-contractors, along certain sections of this road, and their subsequent violent proceedings to prevent others from working, is not likely to seriously retard the progress of the work. If the sub-contractors allow the work to lag they lose the contract, and Messrs. Wiley & Co. can send their own men there. This firm being perfectly responsible, and having a heavy pecuniary in terest in completing the work according, to con tract, the Railroad Company feels but little in terest in the present disagreement. The weather is much more calculated to retard operations than the strike, but bad as it has been it has not seriously delayed the grading of the road. Before work was commenced at all, a calculation was made as to the probable progress, by which it was found that the masonry and graduation Could be completed by . the 16th of, December next, one year from the signing of the contract. The work is now somewhat in advance of what it was then calculated that it would be at this time. There is no came to doubt that the grading will be finished by the above named time and portions of the track laid, so it is confidently expected that a part of the road will be in run ning order before the annual meeting in January next.

WAsnixoTair, April 17.—Secretary Seward ap peared on the floor of the Senate to-day. Ho was seated in the beck row of : the Senators' chairs, in earnest conversation with Thaddeus Stevens- Stanbery is not present. The reading of the journal being dispensed with, the Chief Justice called up the order offered yesterday by Mr. ' Connees, fixing the time for the meeting of the Court at 11 o'cloCk. A vote was taken on Mr. Sumner's amendment, making the hours from ten to six o'clock, with a short re cess. This was lost by a vote of 13 yeas to 30 nays. Mr. Conness's order was the adopted by 29 senator Ferry then offered an order that, as certain tabtilar etatainenta, whieh were not read to the Senate, but offered in evidence, appeared in the Globe's re port of yesterday's proceedings, they be struck out of the official reports published by the Senate. The first witness called waa Mr. Armstrong, editor of the Cleveland Plaindealer, who was ex amined in detail as to his recollectlcinS' of the President's Cleveland sneeches t He testified that the President said he did not intend to make eech on tbat occasion, and as to the inter rup lona on the part of the crowd and the gen eral turbulence of the scene. It appeared that the object of the examination was to show that the , speech was called out by the inter ruptions and provocations proceeding from the crowd. • The cross-examination was very brief, simply going to show that the recollection of the witness as to the part of that speech which might be considered damaging to Mr. Johnson wits very defective. Barton Able, Collector of Internal. Revenue of the First District of Missouri, was called to give his vel,lon of the Bt. Lords Southern Hotel speech. He was in the parlor of the hotel while the speech was being made, and saw and heard little of outside doings. The President said he did not want to make a speech, but being several times called on, went out at last. The cross-examination of this witness was also brief, and mainly directed to show how little he knew of the speech. t BY TELEGRAPH. George Knapp, proprietor of the Missouri R , - publican, was examined in reference to the same speech. He bad but little recollection of the points of the speech. Heard only part of it. • The et oss• examination drew out .4the 'fact that he directed the speech to be corrected for publi cation on Monday morning. Mr. Zeider, short-band reporter, who reported the speech for the Missouri Republican; testified that he employed Mr. Walbridge and another reporter to assist him. He made the corrections in the speech, as printed in the Sunday morning Republican. 'These changes were made from his notes. He was asked at the beginning if be was deaf, and answering affirmatively, Mr. Curtis stood close by him to ask his ques tions. There were some sixty discrepancies be tween the report in the Republican and that iu the Democrat, of which he has made a memoran dum. Secretaries Welles,Browning and McCulloch ap peared on the floor of the Senate some time after the session of the Court had commenced. It is understood that all the members of the Cab inet have been summoned as witnesses for the defence, and these will be put on the stand to-day. The cross-examination of Mr. Seider was quite long, (overtng the points of difference between the Rtpaiiicon's account and the ono put in evidence by the Managers. He had been over all the thing, and made notes of the corree tions. The witness was quite positive that his corrections were only to give the words of the President. It appeared that his deafness was the result of sickness since he reported the speech. By the Cuba Cable. HAVANA, April U.—Sugar quite animated, on advices from London.

WASHINGTON, April 17. SENATE.—The Court was opened in due form. There was a rather larger attenthince of members of the House than usual this morning. On mo tion, the reading of the journal was dispensed with.

The interruptions of the crowd were kept up during most of the speech and were re sponded to by the President. • ' Barton Able, of St. Louis, was then ex a mined. Ile was one of a committee' apppointed by a Mercantile Association to receive the President in August, 1866, and went to . Alton to meet him. At the request of the citizens, the President re luctantly consented to make a speech from the balcony of the Southern Hotel, in St. Louis. He told the committee that he would make only a 'short speech. Cross-examined—The President made a speech to the committee at the landing, where he was listened to respectfully, and was then escorted to the Lindell Hotel, and went to the Southern Hotel about nine o'clock that night to attend a banquet given him. The witness remained in side while the President was speaking from the balcony; he did not see any persons try to draw him in so as to get him to desist from speaking. CITY BULLETIN.

There oneed be no aPprehensions, however, with regard to , government and other sound interest bearing securities for therm volU remain firm throughout and capital will. Rose Into them all the more because of the distrust of speculative stocks.. The gold market was dull and steal all day, and the fluctuations were from lee to lat vnt the closing trans. action's at 138 M. Loans were ma de at rates varying from 7to II per cent, per annum and 142@i116 per cent per diem for carrying., The gross clearings amounted to filed,- IMOOO, the gold balances to 811,437,502 and the currency balances to A 12,074,332. The high rates paid for carrying gold reflected the stringency in the loan market, which canted R,W.iser cent, commission for money to be paidtiti Scone instaricem. it being silliest impossible to borrow at the legal rate of Interest: -.ln same instances brokers were unable to make up their bank accounts, although Just before the close there was a material abate. meat of the previous pressure, owing to the disburse . roosts of the Sub-Treasury in the purchase of seven thirty notes. The natural activity of the market is aggra vated by the cautious policy of the banks in deellning to lend on most of the non dividend paying railway shares; and considering their ri zt a t d eq p a ru nd d et ne c e en i lit t le fi n p o r n o stock l g o a a r n d s follsticif safety of depositors. 7 here is no di ieu ptr it e y is borrowing on governments and other stocks of unquestioned value which 'are not selling at prices above ft, and the distrust of the, highly inflated speculative shares leaves more money for employment noon the former.

[From to-day's World.l Arum 16.—The etringency in the money market con tinues unabated. Today the money market suffered from the sales of gold by the Assistant-Treasurer yeeter day. which he stated were 000,000, but the government gold brokers are known to have sold then at least *I.- 000400 of gold,swhich it is presumed could not have been for government account , as it conflicts with Mr. Van Dyck 's statement The money pressure however for the day was _probably the same as it govern ment had cold the larger amount. The dis crepancy between the amount of gold which Mr. Van Dyck reports sold each day, and the actual amount of the ' sale by Uhe Government gold brokers is the subject of general comment in business circles, /outside of Wall ell eet as welt as in It as "tight money" in Now York at. feets every borrower throughout the whole country, and • the government sales of gold and limited] disbursements arm notoriously the solo cause of the present "tight money." The balance in the Assistant-Truantry today is again increased about Stero,loe, being $ 104611 . 719 against dlOl- 759,036. The balance to-day is $0,000,000, more than it was on April 1, $86,t349,9fe. The importance of this "locking up of greenbacks" in the Assistant-Treasury cannot be over-estimated iu its Immo. diate effect on the money market. It affects it precisely like a foreign drain for specie In specie paying times.when gold was legal money, in the panic of 18:17 the New York City bank, stopped payment, owing to a drain for 1 87.0CQ,C00 in specie to ship abroad. The /secretary of the Treasury, since the poFe.ige of the legal tender act poe tesses a greate r and more immediate power over the New York money in 1-11 , et. to produce stringency or extraordi nary ease at his pleasure, than was ever held by the thank of England. or any government or institution on record in history, The preseutglobiny condition of affairs, trace able directly to Treasury Deparment movements, ought to bring this matter home to every citizen, regardless' of party. The total amount of market values wiped out of ex istence recently is not lees than $lOO.OOO by the derane.. went of the money market. The responsibility for t itle rests entirely with the Treaeury Department Every great Interest in the country has been injured by it. and although the banks and money-lenders may have seemed to pront by it in the higher rates of interest obtained by them, yet it requires no argument to show that their true and permanent interest. Is to have the community prospe rous and eft ong instead of embarrassed and weakened by r usurious rate, for roans. The money market was closer to-day even titan yester day, and call loans ranged from 7 per cent. in currencytto 7 per cent in gold, and in some cases a commission was paid for tuniing stocks. The banks are not discounting much, arid prime businces paper is quoted in the street at 8 to 10 per cent. The Government bond market was steady, arid the in vestment demand ie stimulated by the feeling of general uneasiness in regard to iniscellaneoue securities. The large deniers are buyers and are , selling only to supply their regular customers. The ran on the Third Avenue Savings Bank having ceased yesterday, and depositors again bringing mone, back to the bank, had the effect of strengthening, the whole government bond market. Some t f the banks were sellers of government bonds two days ago, aid althoogh they are not yet buying them hack again, still they are lenders of large rime on govern ments as collateral,, which gives material support to the market Mr. Van Dyck bought about 5500.000 of seven thirties to-day at 101 f. and he is said to be prepared to take a large amount at the market price, It is hoped this is eo, and that the mockery of offering to buy below the mar ket will not be repeated. Affair", are too grave for further trifling. Mr. McCulloch will find it difficult to reconcile the free purchases of seven-thirties at 1t179s by the Trim only Depai tment, in an extremely coley condition of the money market, when thepeople did not want money, with the persistent refueai to buy at lee% to lotim during the last three weeks, when the people were suffering from the want-of money. .
