THE GREAT TEEAOHEBY•
Although the treason which has been secretly
;lotted at the Capitol may not be spread
officially upon the records of the nation
to day, all that has transpired of yesterday's
secret session of the Senate gOes to establish
the treachery of at least 'Grimes, Henderson,
Fessenden, Trumbull ' . and Fowler, and to
'whit ominously to 'two or- three more as
equally false to, all their pledges and princi
ples. Among those who were considered
doubtllil last night pre named Anthony, Ross,
Sprague, Frelinghuysen and Van Winkle.
Let us look for a moment at 'the record of
these men.
Upon the first plu3sage of thelTenure of
Office laW in the Senate, Anthony, Grimes,
Frelinghuysen, Henderson, Sprague and Van
Winkle voted for it. The bill was amended
in the 'louse, and was then passed again by
the Senate, Anthony, Fowler, Henderson,
Rosa and Trumbull voting for it, and Van
Winkle against it.' On these two votes
Fessesden,Grimet aid Trumbull were absent.
The bill was then Vetoed, and passed a third
time by the Senate, and Anthony, Fessenden,
Fowler, Frelinghuysen, Grimes, Henderson,
Ross, Sprague, Trumbull and Van Winkle
all voted for it. Even here the record is
not closed, for when Andrew Johnson
violated this law on the 21st of last February,
the Senate, on,the following day, solemnly
declared "that under the Constitution and
laws of the United States, the President has
no power to remove the Secretary. of War,
and designate any other officer to perform
the duties of that office 'ad interim.' " Upon
this final declaration of the Senate, Anthony,
Henderson, Ross, Sprague, Trumbull and
Van Winkle voted "aye," and the others
named above were either absent or did not
vote against it. This is the record, and it
can never be effaced from the history of the
!Senate or from the minds of the people.
What has occurred since to warrant the
repudiation of these votes? What has been
presented, either in argument or evidence, to
justify these men, in deserting national duty,
in giving up all self-respect, in forfeiting
honor and all dignity, in sacrificing all the
tremendous interests that lie wrapped up in
the issue that Andrew Johnson has made
with the people and the laws ? Absolutely
nothing! These men take up their burdens
of infamy and clothe themselves with their
eternal shame without a shadow of excuse.
They have been•bargained for, higgled over,
weighed, and measured, and valued, and
finally paid for and delivered to their pur
chasers as completely and unreservedly as
was ever the lowest wretch who is dragged
from the gutters of the Fourth Ward to the
polls, and who oasts his vote for a drink of
whisky. The only differences are these : The
price paid is a higher one, and the moral
turpitude is infinitely deeper, by reason of
the eminence from which these men
have fallen. . .Some of them will
plead one excuse and •:, some another.
come of them will be silly enough to at
tempt to brave the storm of righteous indig
nation, and to fancy that their names will
save them. But all will share the same fate.
The price of each one will be known, in
spite of, the moat cunning disguise. It will
be found that more than one of them has
been bought with actual money, selling their
miserable souls and consciences for so many
dollars. There are others no less base and
treacherous, who have sold themselves to
their own spite, and the country is not yet
quite prepared for what it is likely to
learn very soon on this point. But whatever
has been the consideration received, the trea
son is the same, and so is the reward that will
follow it. From the day when these men re
verse their own sworn principles and the
solemn verdict of the people, men will begin
to teach their children these names, as they
teach them the name of Benedict Arnold,and
they end their posterily will long in vain for
an oblivion that would blot out the record of
their infamy from among men. There will
be no distinction made between them. The
intellectual ability of Trumbull and Fessen
den will count no more than the weak vanity
and insignificance of Henderson or Sprague.
Men who do one such deed as this cannot
live long enough to undo it or make men for
get it.
The Republican party will ,undoubtedly
feel this treachery in the Senate as a severe
blow. But the Republican party does not
depend upon any little knot of corrupt men
for its existence. Its foundations are in the
profound convictions of an educated and in
telligent people. •Its body politic is robust
and healthy, and casts off a diseased and
worthless member, without harm to itself..
The Senate will be purged by this open trea
son, and while the traitors will receive their
just reward, the ranks will close up and
they Will Ond that whatever the price for
which they have sold themselves, th , l have
failed to destroy the great party which they;
have deserted, and beirayedi •
The men who have, as yet, confessed thiur
treason are not enough to acquit Andrew
Johnson, but their action is enough con
vict themselves, and the publit mind, is just
now concentrated, not upon the criminal,but
upon the perfidy of the men Whom he has
bought. The actual verdict will not be ren
dered until Saturday, but there is little hope
that any of these men have moral stamina
enough to retrace the fatal steps which they
have already taken. They may fail, of their
purpose, but they cannot save themselvds.
OUR FUTURE.
Speculations as to the future of Broad
street are rife about this time when the long
agitated measure of ridding the street of rail
road tracks is about being consummated.
Most persons look forwa:rd to seeing the
thoroughtare lined with fine dwellings, public
hills, theatres, institutions of learning and
churches. It does not require a very far
reaching vision to discern that future for the
street. From below Prime street to above
Nicetown lane, - i , it already contains some of
the finest dwellings in the city. It also
boasts, several public halls, a splendid League
House, a number of elegant churches, the
finest opera house upon the continent and
the most valuable collection of objects in
natural history in the country. The institu
tion last referred to, is about going yet fur
ther westward. Besides these fine improve
ments, there will soon arise upon the line of
the street a Masonic Temple that
will have no rival within the bounds of
the Union, and more, and mere splendid
churches than those that already adorn the
street are projected. In this view of the case
it does not require a gift of very profound
prophecy to predtgt that Broad street will
contain Some very fine buildings, and that the
removal of the railroad tracks upon it will
accelerate impfovements. There are yet others
who look forward to the good time coming
when the street will be given over to retail
business, tiad when ladies will do their shop
ping in Broad street business palaces.
There are yet others, and they perhaps are
the farthest and clearest-sighted of all, who
conceive a Philadelphia with the Schuylkill
taking the place of. the Thames or the Seine,
and forming the great centre of a really great
city. Even now there is a' swarming
population between the Schuylkill and
Broad street; West Philadelphia is a
beautiful and rapidly growing dis
trict, and it only requires the removal of
the coal, wood and lime yards and sheds
along its banks, the building of some new
bridges, the rearing of fine buildings along
the banks of the new "centre," and we have
an idea of Philadelphia as it will be at the
close of the nineteenth century. With the
"flats" along the Delaware from the Navy-
Yard to League Island filled in, a Navy-Yard
at the Southern extremity of the city, and
wharves and coal-shipping depots below the
present Navy-Yard, and with all the outlines
of this comprehensive plan filled in, and the
city boasting a population of two millions
instead of its present 800,000-we have a pro
bable view of Philadelphia as it will be
within less than a century. In this prospect
of the future of the city we have
taken no note of the northern
districts because their progress in prosperity
and importance is as manifest and as cer
tain as it is apparent that the growth of the
count* , - must be toward the setting
sun. Germantown, Mansyunk and
Frankford are all destined to be absorbed
within the bounds of the built-up city, and
that within thu lives of some who will
remember the impeachment of Andrew
Johnson. There are plenty of Philadelphians
who laugh at their grandfathers for hug
ging close to the eastern edge of the city
when "elbow-room" and fresh air were
abundant farther west, and who are them
selves just as short-sigAted when they at
tempt to penetrate the mysteries of the future,
and look forward to the Philadelphia of the
twentieth century.
They have been having a hanging in New
Hampshire within a day or two. The beau
tiful village of Franconia was the scene of
the execution, and as it was a public exhibi
tion, a ribald crowd gathered almost within
the shadow of the grand old mountains of
that district to witness the taking off of the
guilty wretch. The condemned man was
Samuel Mills, an Englishman, a sort of Jack
Sheppard in his way, for he laughed at bolts,
bars, manacles and prison walls, and suc
ceeded in effecting several temporary escapes
while awaiting hie 'execution. He carried
his Jack Sheppard manners and propensities
to the gallows with him,and talked about his
manliness in "dying game," as though there
could be any true manliness about a wretch
who had embrued his hands in the blood of
his friend, for pelf, as he had done. This
"gamey" scene excited the admiration of the
surrounding crowd, and "Bully for you,
Sam I" greeted the dying brute and
raised a roar of laughter just at the moment that
the Sheriff was stretching the black cap over
the face of the culprit. The gallows seems
to be a necessity of our civilization; but such
scenes as this, which make an execution a
mere horrid show and which convert a
blood-stained wretch into the hero of the
occasion if he "dies game," do no good in
the way of example, and encourage rather
than repress the ruffianism which runs to
the extremity of shedding human blood.
New !Hampshire should amend her laws in
obedience to the spirit of the age and have
her executions of criminals conducted in
private where there, would be no
chance of making heroes of brutes
and butchers of their kind. There
is a lesson taught by the crime of which Mills
was guilty, and in its punishment. Like most
murders that are committed, the murderer
obtained but a pittance through ' his crime.
Twenty-five dollars is all the money he ob
tained. This ho expended in the effort to
elude pursuit, and when arrested the articles
, which he had carried away from the house of
his victim furnished the necessary evidences
of his crime. . One-half the skill and labor
which he employed in endeavoring to escape
would have enabled him 'to earn ten times as
much as he realized by his crime. In each
successive case of murder for money the fact
is illustrated afresh that viewed merely as a
Lusiness operation it fails to pay.
THE DATtY,EVENiNG BULLETIN-PHILADELPHIAI,tUESVAY,.MAtr,I2, 1848.
•
A fortnight , ago the write]-,of ;this article
was a smell of a sainpleof molasses
whisky ,tresh from the still, and before the
fluid had gone through the l AlactOring" neces
sary to fit it for . The market. It was a portion
of a lot, which had been seized at aft:' illicit
distillery, and the abominable stench , of the
liquid poison still lingers hi the nostrils. If
the reader has ever looked down in the hold
of a West Indies molasses schooner after the
cargo had been dischargea, and allowed his
nose to be saluted by, the sout,draitiinga from
the casks, which had become mingled with
bilge water and many nameless aborninitions,
he has bad a slight odor of what this Molasses
whisky is an intensification of. If the mere
smell of it is so horrible what must its effects
be when taken into the stomach? But it does
not go into the market in the form in which
it comes from the still. It is converted into
"fine old, whisky" and "choice French
brandy" through the agency of such cheerful
ingredients as pepper, alum, sulphuric acid,
acetic ether, strychnia, chlorine, nitric ether,
oil of bitter almonds, or chem laurel water;
copper, zinc and sugar •colorini. That men
under the influence of this witch's mess,should
beat their wives and murder their mothers is
not to be wondered at. Molasses whisky is
just as much a result of Andrew Johnson's
'policy," as the substitution of dishonest and
corrupt revenue agents for honest officials has
been a result of his party tactics, and the
wholesale pols2ning of men and women
through its agengy lies at his door. It would
be a just, and almost sufficient, worldly ,pun
ishment for his sine, if, for the future, he
should be deprived of all beverages of what
ever kind, except the diabolical broth known
as molasses-whisky.
Now that the railway track on Broad
street between South and Olive streets has
been removed, will not the city, which au
thorized its removal, take up its own
track which stretches from Olive street to
Vine ? The matter will be brought before
City Councils on Thursday next, and it is to
be hoped tliat no time will be lost in pushing
through the important work of clearing the
noble thoroughfare of obstructing rails. If
Mr. Disler, the City Superintendent of Rail
ways, had the requisite authority given him
he would doubtless make short work of the
endumbering tracks, and give what is des
tined to be one of the finest streets upon the
continent a chance to • develop itself. Now
that the good work has been commenced let
it be pushed through to completion with the
least possible delay.
- The advertisement in reference to Point
Breeze Park should attract the attention of
all those interested in that fine establishment.

esting and brilliant, and an opportunity is

WASEENGTON, May 12.—The interest in the
impeachment proceedings, which continues un
abated, filled the galleries of the Senate before

filled with extra poilmotnen for the preservation
of order. A good many Senators and members
of the Some were on the floor in earnest conver.
eation during the half hour before the Senate
was called to order. A great dal of canvassing
as to the probable result has been done since
yesterday.
Full State delegations, including all the Con
gressmen Bud prominent men hero from their re
spective States, have Waited upon several of the
doubtful Senators. In one or two inatanw,s they
have received assurance that ones or more of the
articles, generally thil eleventlt, would be voted
for by those who were believed to be against
conviction.
The Managers this morning count upon one
majority for removal certain, bat the illness of
Senator Howard continues. His physicians have
declared that his life would be endangered sliould .
he be brought to the capitol to cast his vote. It
has been determined, therefore, to postpone the
Leal vote for some days. probably until Saturday
or Monday. Should Mr. Howard recover, the
Managers are yet confident that tlus President's
removal will be erected.

Court was nulled to order and engaged In con
versation with doubtful Senators.

adjourned it be until Saturday next.

tion be' amended to read Thursday.

(From the New York Herald. of To-411'1,J
May IL—The gold market has been more than usually
active wed excited today under the conflicting views of
speculators with respect to the result of the impeachment
and its effects ripen the course of she premium. The pri
vate despatches received from Washington on this subject
were of a very contradictory character, and
as operations were made accordingly the
transactions on both the ball and the
bear account were large. The fluctua
tions were from Lee% to 140% up
to the adjournment of the board, with the opening
sales at and the closing transactions at 139,' a
bet late in the afternoon on the street the price de
clined to 189%. and at elm o'clock there was no im
provement from this figure. The private despatches
at that time were to the, effect that the President's
acquittal was considered certain. The gross clear
ings amounted to $40,451e00, the gold balances to
ggi s:t 156 and the currency balances to $8147,183.
There was a moderately brisk borrowing demand
fqr Coin, and loans were made at . rates
varying from four to six and a half per cent. per annum.
The Treasury sold about a hundred thousand dollars of
coin during the day, and bought threeqaarters of a mil
lion of revels-thirty notes. The disbursements in payment
of the May interest at the Sub-Trersury up - to the close of
business on Saturday aggregated $10,951,000. 'I he imports
of specie at this port from foreign ports last week amount
ed to $174.704, making $2,966.821 since the let of January.
After a brief itterval Congress will turn Its attention to
the financial question, and particularly the currency, the
tariff and the internal Revenue law, upon each of which
a wide division of opinion exiles , both lu and out of Con
ned. There will be a powerful force brought to bear in
favor of inflating the currency to the extent
of. a hundred millions, more - or less, and
another powerful nasty brought to bear
against it, end vrhether thb inflationists will carry their
point or not Tenable' to be seen' but it would obviously
be bad financial policy to depreciate the value of our cur
rency by adding to its volume. Temporarily it would
stimulate trade, !recantation and the general pros.
Patty of the country, but it would expose too
timethe danger of haereasing it from time to
time still more until the whole mass
was threatened with Ahe fate which overtook the old
continental money of our own country and the aselguate
and mandats of Prince,. Nevrertbelese. the inflationists
of the Weat will fight hard for more geeenbacks, but it is
to be hoped that their effete will .be fruitless.
There will he a struggle to abolish the in
come tax, and the sooner the country is in • po
sition to renlove this inquisitorial impost the better:
but the government cannot afford to reduce taxation
largely without making equal provision fer the reduction
of its expenditures. The burdens of taxation are, it is
true, enormous; but each part of the fiscal machinery of
the government must be adjusted to every ether • part, BO
that the credit of the nation mayaet only be maintained.
but improved and the currency gradually appreciated in
value.

The Prospects of Conviction.
[Speclal Derpatch to the Philadelphia Weirdos iitaletbll
WASnINOTON, May 12th.--Wlth the adjourn
ment of the Senate Ifultil Saturday, impeachment
stock went up rapidly. It is believed that pub
lic sentiment will becomb so strong by that
time as to insure the• success of impeach
ment.
'
An intimate friend of President Johnson's
asserts privately that no matter what influences
are brought to bear upon Trumbull, Fessenden,
Grimes and Henderson, they are committed in
writing to support the President against con
viction. It is stated that these four Senators
had a private interview with the President about
three weeks ago, and pledged themselves to vote
for his acquittal if he would nominate General
Schofield as Secretary of War. This statement
comes from the best sources and is credited by a
great many' Senators.
The opinion is freely expressed by Radical Sen
ators that all these four Senators have been
bought by a free use of money. Members of the
whisky ring claim, this morning, that they have
disposed of two millions of money daring tie
palt ten days, but preserve an entire reticence as
to wbere it went.
The Missouri delegation waited upon Hender
son, to demand that he shall vote for conviction
on some of the articles, or resign his position.
After a full and free talk, Henderson gave them
to understand that he should vote for the Presi
dent's codliniction on the eleventh article.
The Senatere-assembled on the adjourniient of
the Court, and an effort was made to proceed to
the consideration of business of a general charac
ter. This was opposed by Messrs. Yates, Drake,
Morton and Cameron, each of whom spoke
against it with much feeling, saying that under
the present degree of excitement It was impossi
ble for the Senators to speak with that freedom
or composure on legielation which was necessary.

presented his credentials as a delegate to the
Lutheran General Synod,•from the . General As
sembly of the New School Presbyterian Church,
bearing Christian and fraternal love, and the
greetings of the Presbyterians. He hoped the
dissensions in the Lutheran Church would be
reconciled, as he had reason to hope those of the
Presbyterian Church would soon be.
President POhlman answered, welcoming the
delegate. The speeches took up the greater part
of the morning.

The Surreitt Trial.
WASHINGTON May 12.—1 n the Criminal Court
of this district, WASHINGTON,
Justiee Cartier presiding,
the case of JohtH. Surratt was called up this
morning. The number: of spectators were very
few, and none of the excitement which attended
the former trial manifested itself pa this occa
¢lol3.
The prisoner was brought into the court room
about half-past ten, and seated within the bar,
near his counsel, Messrs. Me,rrick and Bradley,
Jr. Joseph H. Bradley, counsel for the defence
pu.,,the former occasion, was present as advisory
counsel.
The United States was represented by Messrs.
Darrington, District Attorney; Wilson, Assfstant
istrict- Attorney, and A. G. Riddle, associate
Gounsel.
Judge Black, who has been mentioned as one
Of the counsel for the defence, was not present,
nor was Judge Peirpolnt, for the Government.
Upon the case being called Mr. Carrington
stated that he was ready to proceed to draw a
jury and commence the trial, when Mr. Merrick
said that from a conversation with Judge Peir
point shortly after the 24th of April last, the time
which had'been set for the' trial, he had become
Impressed with the idea that the trial should be
continued, and, the defence had laid aside its pre
parations, not expecting that it would be pro
ceeded with at this term.
Mr. Carrington had not heard of any agree
ment, and said it never was his intention or de
sire to continue the case. Ho had been exert-
In himself to get ready to=day, and was anxious
to swear a jury and proceed with the trial to-day.
He protested against 4 continuance , unless
reasons .were presented. 'After sOmo discussion
by counsel, the Court stated Its disposition, to let
the case go over to'the next term, owing to the
fact that a nonversation had been had by promi-'
nnnt counsel on both sides, and an agreement
made by them not tciproesiekby which the de..
Pence was now unprepared to enter upon its
trial.
Mr. Merrick then ,entered a motion to admit
the prisoner to bail, stating that any reasonable
amount was ready to be_
. ogered. He proceeded '
to argue in behaif Of. 'MC motion, and subse.
quently it was determined- lry the Court ttrlear
arguments from counsel ern the motion to•mor
row morning. ' ,
The witnesses in ttie case were discharged until
further notice.
The Impel e l 4O lO lO
WASTMOTON, Mat.l2. - -Tite reading" of the'
journal wes - ,concluded at 11.45, when Mr. Ed
munds' order, rescinding the rule requiring the'
vote to be taken to-day, was adopted without'
division, Mr. Chandler stating titrila colleague;
Mr. Howard, was' very ill; and,*, n;;lds
it, wag adered.that when the Otk t' adjdtiriis it'
be until Saturday, and a few minutes later the
Corot eo adjourned.
The Senate was then called to order, and a
motion made by Mr. Drake to adjourn until to
merrOirt being lost by a vote'of 28 to
Mr. Tates moved to adjourn until Ihiday.
Messrs. Anthony, Sherman and Hendricks
earnestly opposed the motion referring
to the large amount of, business which
requires attention, Contending that
to adjourn for several dai , s would be att un
justifiable waste of time, and prolong the session
far into the summer.
Messrs. Drake and Yates urged that no profita
bleleglelation could be accomplished witile, the ,
Senators were, as they asserted, in a state of high
excitement and perturbation.
Mr. Drake thought they could recover from it
by to-morrow, but
Mr. Yates: held that: lt would be rieceesary to
allow longer time to calm their nerves.
Messrs. Sherman Davis and . oth'ere ridiculed
the idea of their not being able to perform their
duties at presentand again called attention to the
amount of business in arrears.'
Mr. Morton !supported the motion for adjourn
ment till td-morrow, and it was then temporarily
laid aside, while various Holm bills 'were dis
posed of.
After alone discussion, and the passage of the
District of Columbia, charter bill, the Senate ad

moat marked change frornthe old law is as to ; dis
tilled spirits, the provisigna guardingagainst

the discretion of the court, The, tax remains, as
now, $2 per gallon. The tax in all"cases to, be

cents Der 1,000 cubic feet to 10 cents. The tax on
refined petroleum is kept at 10 cents per gallon.
Places of amusement, in addition to the two per

ance, from $2 to. $2O, according to the sitting ca
p acity.
There are but few alterations in the law re

cepting that they provide for the more perfect
administration of the-same, ,
Manufactures are exempt from taxation in ac
cordance with the law passed several weeks ago
The tax on ground coffee and spices is retained .
Mr. Brooks (N. Y.)` presented a memorial of
the Chamber of Commerce of the State of New
York on the subject of the New York Post-eiffice.
Referred to the Committee on Appropriations.
Mr. Ferry (Mich.) presented a like Memorial,
and moved its reference to the Post Office Com
mittee.
Mr. Brooks suggested that the Committee on
Appropriations was the most appropriate refer
ence.
After some diecussinn, both were referred to the
Post Office Committee.
The Speaker presented a letter from General
Grant in reply to the House resolution of yester
day, giving the votes - for and against the Consti
tutions in the Southern States, as follows: North
Carolina—For the Constitution, 92,690: against
the Constituthin, 71,829. South Carolina—For,
70,858; against, 27,288. Georgia—For, 89,007;
sgalnst, 71,309. Lout:bum—For, 66,152; against;
48,739. Alabama—For, 69,807; against, 1,005.
On motion of Mr. Paine (Wis.), the communi
cation was referred to the Reconstruction Com
mittee and ordered to be printed.
The bill reported by Mr.Schenek from the Com
mittee on Ways and 'Means, relating to internal
revenue taxes, was ordered to be printed and
, recommitted.
Mr. Schenck gave notice that he would bring
the bill back to the House within perhaps a week
from this time, if there should be no recess. If
there was a recess he should ask the House to
take the bill up to be considered and acted 'upon
immediately . after the recess, which might be per
haps some eight or ten days hence.
Mr. Garfield (Ohio) asked Mr. Schenck to indi
cate his purpose as to the discussion to be al
lowed.
Mr. Schenck replied that It was not the pur
pose or desire of the committee to put off discus
sion on the bill unless necessarily. Two or three
days would probably be allowed for general dis
cession, but after that he should certainly ask
: that the debate be reduced to a mere
(business discussion. The amplest op
;portunity would be allowed for
amendment and debate on all parts of the bill.
If it should be found that discussion was likely
to become almost interminable so as to interfere
with other legislation and to prolong the session,
it might become needful to put a stop to it. In
conclusion be offered a resolution 'to print 5,000
extra copies of the bill, which was referred to
the Committee on Printing.
Mr. Schenck, from the same committee, re
ported a joint resolution autharizing distilled
spirits produced during the experiments made by
the late Commissioner for testing meters for the
internal revenue service,to be turned over to the
Surgeon-General of the army, for the use of the
Army Hospital, at a reasonable cost.
Read three times and passed.
Mr. Schenck,from the Committee on Ordinance,'
reported a joint resolution directing the Secretary
of War to sell damaged or unserviceable ord
nance and ordnance stores.
Mr. Eliot (Mass.) objected to its cOnsideration
until after the moraine hour,and tile Ilona° then,
et 12.30,proceeded to the business of the morning
hour, being the call of committees for reports.
Mr. Rice, from the committee on the Pacific
