'EVENING BULLETI
irriday. April 17, 1868.
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.

'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

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.

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.

ease of Tack Brothers' and Others, charged with
conspiniey to defraud Mr. O'Connor, of Pitts
burgh, through an oil transaction, was resumed
this morning. The commonwealth continued
the case, alleging that the advance 'on
oil in July., 186 i, was not the result of a
legitimate demand, or in consequence
of the small supply in the market, but was spec
ulative; that It was not true, as represented, • that
there was a large number of vessels loading for
Europe. The case willoecupy several days yet,
a large number of witnesses being in attendance
both for the commonwealth and the defence.

[Special Despateh is the Philadelphia Eventas Bundle.)
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.

[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. .
