Various passions, prejudices, ambitions and interests have, of course, been appealed to, to secure the treachery of those Repub lican Senators who have voted for Andrew Johnson's acquittal. It is worth while to in quire whether the Free. Trade League of New York has not shared with the Chase Presi dential Ring, the Whisky Ring, and the various other Rings that' Andrew Johnson has on his hands, the power that controlled the votes that secured his acquittal on the Eleventh Article of Impeachment. It is noticeable that the only Republican papers worth considering that have been op posed or indifferent to conviction, and tha acquiesce cheerfully in the acquittal, are the New York Evening Post, the New York Times (scarcely claiming to be called Re publican), the Chicago Tribune and the Cin cinnati Commercial. These are all Free Trade organs. Ilfr. Grimes, who is said to own part of the Chicago Tribune, is .a Free Trader, either on principle or because he finds it pays to be such. Mr. Fessenden is like Grimes, and so are the other recreants, though they may not own Free Trade news papers. Andrew Johnson is claimed by the Free Traders as one of them; and whether he is so or not, he would bargain with them to any extent, so as to secure acquittal; they running the risk of being able to hold him to his bargain. Being a freebooter and a free trader in politics, he can make promises and pledges to any extent. It can readily be be lieved that the Free Trade League of New York, which can and does command any amount of English capital to break down American industry, can offer to give a mag nificent price for a very cheap article, and to buy up the virtue of Andrew Johnson and his crew with a little every-day subscription. The protection of American manufactures and the defeat of the schemes of the Free Trade League,supported in New York chiefly by Englishmen or English capital, should en gage the active energies of every true Ame rican, and especially of every Pennsylvanian. We would not have them convict Andrew Johnson of the charges brought against him, on such grounds. But they should be made to see distinctly that the Free Trade party, north as well as south,rejoices at the acquittal of last Saturday, and that it is an unavoid able inference that among the various influences that secured the votes required for that acquittal, the Free Trade League was highly potential. The people of Pennsyl vania will not forget the strange coincidence we have noted between the Free Traders and the Republican acquitters of mr. Johnson. If there should be an investigation, full, thorough and candid, it would be found that a large amount of the money expended, and the promises made to secure acquittal, came from parties interested to break down protec tion to American industry, who know, of course, that they can do as they please with Andrew Johnson and his cabinet, or with the succession he may bargain for. COMPOI/NEING FELONIES. There are political and social felonies, as well as legal ones, and the wrong done in compounding them is as bad in its way, in the case of either. It is grown to be a most demoralizing fashion, to compound political and social felonies of the worst kinds, and it is the duty of all who would preserve the morals of their party or of society to protest against so destructive a principle. L the case of the great treachery perpe trated by Mr. Chase and the seven renegades of the Senate, there is a combination of politi cal and social crime. There has been a meanness, a falsehood, a personal degradation in the course of most of these men, which gives their of fence a personal character, and should there fore affect their personal and social position. There has been a determined purpose to thwart and defeat a great purpose of the peo ple, carried to the extent of violating all du ties, all promises, all solemn pledges, all dic tates of political uprightness, that brands them;with political felony, and should there; fore affect their political relations. And this will be the result on every side, among the mass of men who feel deeply the great wrong that has been done to the law and to the will of the people. Such a result should follow such crime, and it certainly will. In view of this state of the case, we cannot but regret the closing sentences of the reply of the members from Missouri to the recreant Cenator from that State. They "desire to renew the assurances of their personal friend ship." They speak of the matter as what Nasby calls an "onpleasantness," and refer to HeadersOn's position as having been "delicate and embarassing." All this is a part of the mere conventional phrase of the day among public men, but its tone is bad. Why should honorable gentlemen "renew their assurances of personal friendship" to a man who, by the showing of this very letter, has just been proved false to his solemn pledges and false to his Senatorial oath ? What fellowship has manliness with meanness? What concord is there between men whose record, personal and politieal,is unstained, and men blackened forever with the dye of an eternal infamy ? This business of permitting men to re tain their social equality, when they have proved themselves unworthy of confidence or respect as public men, has been cirried on long enough. It offers a premium to all official rascality, and it should not be tolerated in' any decent 'com munity: When men become• politically cor rupt, they are Morally corrupt, and a society that desires to keep its morals pUre, mast put its brand• upon, them. The men who have covered themselves with shame in the Senate Chamber are 'in a position which is rather feebly expressed by the phrase "delicate and, embarrassing." Their conduct has been unblushingly indelicate, and there is nothing whatever "embarrassing" in their position, provided that those of them who were bought directly with money, have been clever enough to conceal the bill of sale. They are entirely unembarrassed. No Re publican will ever trust them again, and their path, into the camp of their new friends is open and plain. These wayfaring, men, though fools, need not err therein. ...Nothing is easier than their future course. They can do no act of new perfidy that will shock the moral sense of the community. They can surprise no one by any fresh violation of a Senator's oath or a gentleman's promise. "It n'y a Bice le pre- M ter pas qui cone," and these men, having taken their first downward step, will find each succeeding one easy and unembarrassed. We trust that all honest men will let them go their way unembarrassed with any "as surances of a renewed personal friendship," which can only be continued by compounding a great political and social felony. THE rtiOOFS OF TIECEACHCRY. One of the ugliest proofs of the charge that the votes of several of the recusant Senators were regularly bargained for lies in this' fact. Had these been honest men, acting under a real conviction of duty, they would have been at no pains to conceal their convictions, but would have gone quietly and seriously to the Senate Chamber, and each for himself, before God and the country, have discharged what he believed to be his individual duty. There could have beenlio possible obligation resting upon, any one of Ahem to tamper with, or at all consider, the vote of any other Senator. How different their conduct has been, is before the world. Henderson, not having sense enough to con ceal his insincerity, admits to the Missouri delegation that he will acquit or convict ac cording to the vote of other Senators! No comment is needed on this point. When Van Winkle pledged himself to do his duty, Trum bull and Henderson hastened to assail his weak virtue with such appliances as best suited his case, and he succumbed. When Ross gave his written promise to vote for conviction, others of the conspirators redou bled their exertions and whatever was wanting to satisfy his demands, was supplied. Fow ler was brought over earlier and, although his record for impeachment is one of the strong est in the Senate, there seems to have been no fear of his breaking away from the bar gain. The course of these men' clearly indicates not only the grossest personal infidelity, but also a complicity in the crime with each other. There is none of that conscientious, independent action which belongs to the conduct and conviction of honest men, but, in place of it, all the intrigue, bartering and secresy of a deliberate and well-laid plot. CLOSE UP TUE RANKS• Congress, betrayed by men in whom great • trust has been reposed, suffered a great defeat on Saturday in the battle which it is waging for the people against the usurpations of the President. Political ambition and intrigue on the part of some, bitter personal spite on the part of others, direct bribery of various kinds on the part of others, have arrayed the Chief Justice, Fessenden, Trumbull, Grimes, Henderson, Fowler, Ross and Van Winkle on the side of Andrew Johnson and against the people. Let them go ! The Republican army scarce pauses to count its few dead and wounded_ before it closes up its ranks and moves forwArd. The defection of a few traitogs cannot weaken the great Re publican cause. Individuals have long ceased to control the great political movements o this country. As it was in military affairs during the war, so it is now. Faithless, in competent, or half-hearted generals, no matter what their position had been, were put out of the way, and as good and better men• filled their places. Gettysburg was fought and won under a leadership that was changed irom one saddle to another during the forced march to the battle-field, and a greater victory than even Gettysburg will be won by the Republican party under its new leaders, despite the desertion from its ranks of men who have been, but never can be again, its leaders. CRUELTY TO ANIR/LLS. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals publishes, to-day, a list of ac knowledgements of subscriptions and dona tions from various citizens. We are glad to see this beginning of a vigorous support of this excellent Society; but there should be not only a good beginning, but a prompt car rying out of the work. The Society has a very large field for its operations, and, thus far, has been able to place but one agent at work. It should have at least six or eight active, intelligent and discreet men on duty in the several districts of the city, and then its true influence would begin to be felt. Philadelphia must not be be hind the other parts of the country in this humane cause. Boston is setting an example of enlightened liberality which our people should emulate. The Boston Society has only been organized four or five weeks, and its weekly receipts have ranged from $2,000 to $2,700 during this period. It ex pects to secure a permanent fund of $lOO,OOO during the current year. There is real public spirit in such a response as this, which is worthy of all praise. The Philadelphia So ciety is now in excellent hands, and the work will be done as thoroughly as the community permits. A. few thousands contributed annually, in a great city like this, are a mere nothing, compared with the magnitude of the evil to be removed. The annual subscription of five dollars from a thousand or two of our citizens will give permanent efficiency to the Society. It will enable it to employ a corps of good agents and to bring to justice the brutes who now outrage the humanity and degrade the moral tone of a respectable community.

FREVENTIpN or Initati. R. Roe & Co. the celebrated machinists of New York. are enlarging their works in that city, and during last week they were engaged In a series of experiments which were de signed to test the practicability.of rendering ordinary wooden floors and joists fire proof. in the first experiment a Square section of beams, 10x10 feet, raised about six feet from the ground, was lathed on the under side with strips of pine, half an inch thick, nailed from one to two inches apart. These served to retain a ceiling of plaster of pads, spread under the beams to a quarter of an inch below the strips, and half an inch thick between the beams and above the stripe. Upon this plaster were placed thin sheet-iron tubes of oval form, the object being to inclose the bulk of the space between the beams. The remaining space between was then filled, the upper side of the beams being covered with the plaster of parie, • completely enveloping the . tubes. After allewing sufficient time for the plaster to set, the floor boards were fixed, and the plaster allowed to become dry and hard, when a fierce fire was lighted within four feet of the ceiling and kept up with intensity for four and a half hours. The result was that the plaster on the underside cracked off in places, and the pine strips were charred; but the joists were not at all injured, 'and the flie had not made any opening through to the floor above, which was never so heated but that one could have stood barefooted on it without discomfort. In the second experiment, thin sheets of iron, crimped so as to present a series of dove tails, with the large parts of the tails down ward, were nailed to the under side of the beams. This was plastered with a coat of lime and sand, and on this was an additional coat of plaster of parts about one-quarter of an inch thick. When dry and hard the fire was lighted, and kept up, as before, two and a half hours; and the result was that the plaster cracked off and beams began to burn, where upon the fire was extinguished. The third experiment proved more successful. Strips of pine one-half an inch wide by one-half an inch thick were nailed lengthwise on the under side of the beams throughout their length. Thin sheets of iron were then fast ened upon them, the strips keeping the sheet iron a distance of one-half an inch froth the beanie. Plaster of paris to the depth of one and a quarter inches was poured on the sheet iron, and the side and top of the beam smeared with it, and when conveniently plastic, rounded to some two inches up the sides. After the plaster had become set the floor boards were fixed, the fire lighted and kept up as before for four hours and a half; the result was that in a few places only the beams were slightly smoked, but no other indications of fire were visible. The fourth and last trial was conducted on the same principle as the third. In this provision was made against fire from the upper as well as lower side by fastening thin sheets of iron on the top of the beams, and spreading a layer of plaster of paris, one-quarter of an inch thick, over the sheet-iron before laying the wooden flooring. For three hours an in tense heat was kept up directly under this flooring. Then another fire was built on the floor above. After burning for three hours, the fire was extinguished, and the experiment was found to be a complete success. An important consideration in such experi ments is the question of cost. Taking the expense of the experimental section of ten feet square as a guide, it was found that the cost of a floor laid after the most successful plan would be $678 more than the cost of an ordinary combustible floor, each covering a space of 100x25 feet. Of course the expen siveness of the work would be materially re duced if it were prosecuted upon a larger scale than a mere experiment; and taking this reduction into consideration, and the abatement in the rates of insurance, which would result from the employment of fire proof floors, it would be found that there would be but little real difference in cost be tween safe places of depose t for valuable goods and the mere fire-traps of shells that are too frequently put up in American cities under the name of warehouses. When the difference in rent, whieh the fire-proof store would bring over the unsafe structure, come to be taken into account the capitalist would find his profit in securing his buildings from destruction by the application of such simple and comparatively inexpensive contriv ances. Plaster of paris, which is so plentiful in the neighborhood of the French Capital as to take its name from the locality, is used very extensively in the construction of buildings in Paris, and its use tends greatly toward the immunity from destructive conflagrations which distinguishes the second city of Europe. In Parisian houses plaster of Paris is not only used to fill in the spaces between floors and ceilings ; but the interstices in studding partitions are filled in with it. Stone stairways in the larger buildings, lofty para pet walls and fire-proof roofs do the rest and secure structures that almost defy destruc tion by fire, and prevent the possibility of a general conflagration. There are vast deposits of gypsum in Nova Scotia and Virginia, and it is also found in parts of Pennsylvania and the State or New York. The general employment of this ma terial would so stimulate production and the use of better appliances for the cheap con version of the native mineral into plaster,that its effect would probably be to lessen its price. During the first four months of the present year the losses by fires in the United States, where the individual losses were-not less than *ri2o,ooo, reached the enormous aggregate* of $13,073,000. The country is made just so much poorer by this wholesale destruction of houses and goods, and the man who can devise some available plan of general preven tion is as much a public benefactor as though he had added just so much to the national wealth. Messrs. Hoe & Co. have done a good work in the Practical experiments in which they have engaged with characteristic enterprise and spirit. New York is now engaged in the highly appropriate task of endeavoring to secure the removal of the obstructions to the passage of Hell Gate.

From a further perusal of the • article, we find that the obstructions to which LIGHT OVERCOATS reference is made, are those which interfere with the passage of the well-known rock's it i; t o. called Hell Gate, which are found in, Long Island Sound. The merchants of the "Me- The Very Latest Produotion, and much tropolis" calculate that to remove , these Lower in price than anything pre. and other obstructing rocks would viousty manufactured. cost the mere bagatelle of $378,000.

But that is not the New York way of doing business; it wants all the ad vantages, but it wants somebody else to pay all the expense of securing them. The un scrupulousness of New York merchants, and the wholesale frauds practiced in and through its Custom House,have almost entirely ruined the foreign shipping trade of nearly every port upon the Atlantic seaboard. It is emi nently like New York to ask the people of other cities to pay for clearing out its harbor for the convenience of the trade tliat is at tracted thither by the easy virtue of its Cus tom House officials and the hungry rapacity of its importers. Congress will probably al low these modest metropolitans to wait some time before the passage of Hell Gate is cleared, unless they clear it at their own ex pense.

D !nate h. 3 For nearly two months past the authorities at Washington have had reason to believe that ex tensive robberies of the mail were being perpe trated somewhere between that city and Righ t:pond on the Fredericksburg route. About six weeks ago a fanner living on the banks of the Potomac found a large number of opened letterd washed ashore on his land, and, suspecting some thing wrong, prudently took them to the Depart, went at Washington. The circumstances were quickly seized upon by Mr. McDevitt, the detective who had been se lected to ferret out the suspected robberies, lead ing him to the conclusion that the criminal was on the boat running between Washington and „Acqnla Creek. Accordingly, on last Tuesday he tool; passage on the Vanderbilt, which plies be teen the points named, and stationed himself In pantry joining the mailroom, from which ,to conid see through an aperture in the wall all that was going on in the latter apartment. William J. Lee, the mail agent's assistant, came into the room, and seemed for some hours to be asleep. At length, though, he got up, and, lighting a lamp, opened a mall-bag and proceeded cautiously to break open letter after letter, throwing them out of the window after taking possession of any valuable enclosures that were found. While he was thus engaged, the detective left his "hole in the wall" and coming suddenly upon him, ar rested him with some of the rifled letters in his hand. Lee then confessed his crime, explaining that he had been enabled to open the mail bags by means of a brass key which he had made for the purpose. Daring the winter he burned the letters as fast as they were examined,but since the weather had been too warm to allow a stove in the room, ho was compelled to resort to the incautious step of throwing them overboard. The accused was carried to Washington and bailed to appear for trial. It is said that he went North from Richmond during the war, and was for some time employed in the secret service of the Confederacy. A Slemese Boinance.aind Tragedy. The priests or buns of Siam are vowed to celibacy and monastic life. Death is the certain consequems of any known departure from the vow of celibacy; a priest must not even be sup posed conscious of the presence of such tempta tion as women, to the interruption of that abstract contemplation which is the aim and end of the Buddhist votary. Ono among the priests who swarmed in one of the large monasteries attached to the temples had been remarkable for his unflinching zeal in the practice of every act of sensed flee enjoined.by his religion, observing the most rigid abstinence, and also a silence which give external evidence of the abstraction of his mind from all the cares and concerns of this mundane existence. Re had taken his turn with his breth ren to issue forth upon the river at early dawn to receive tho daily contributions ofprovisions so willingly set aside by the people for the Bute name of their bonzes. Sometimes he went alone. Latterly, on the occasion of his fulfilling this mis sion alone, he had not returned without some unusual delay. There is a certain body among the priesthood whose especial duty Is to watch over the private and public conduct of the other members of their fraternity, and to bring them to trial for neglect of duty, or on conviction of any crime, religious or moral. These officials, being„ ap prised that a grave suspicion attached to one of their order, placed a spy over his conduct. Having selected for the purpose one of the most tried and sagacious amongst themselves, he began his task by studying closely the movements and actions of the supposed de linquent. On his rot tl.n from one of hie mlis- `itie rivet. titiPOrceivAlw ,watched him Rs he pm alone., .116144 eared frequentiv to take sonicildrig from bis,botoM, which be pressed to his lip*, aad then returbalt. The spy dratiqng gradually nearer was enabled to satisfy himself that the treasured article was a rose; further ob servation and vigilance now became necessary.

Mar V.—Notwithstanding the public anxiety and sus peosetwith which the verdict of the Senate was awaited. the gold market was quiet during the past week, and so steady that the fluctuations were !united to 134 per cent.— namely, from 140)(i to 1343;. the . closing transactions hav ing been at 1393¢. Opinions were about equally divided as to the course of the premium. but no important change in either direction was looked for under any probable Political contingencies. and the news cf Andrew John aon's acquittal on the eleventh article fell like a snow- Hake in the gold room, although it was undoubtedly a bombshell in the radical camp. The continued heavy shipments of gold contributed to the Sati nets of the premium, without, however, stimu lating speculative activity. The customs demand at the mirt for the week amounted to $2,401,097, while the Sub:Treasury disburseds2.4lo.ooo in coin in payment of interest on the public debt. 'The speech of Mr. Garfield in the House of Representatives on hie bill providing for the gradual resumption of specie payments, attracted very little attention, as his plan is at present imprac ticable, the Treasury.not being in a position to redeem its notes in the manner prescribed; and, moreover, as it would involve contraction to a corresponding extent, it Is not desirable that it should be adopted under existing cir cumstances. When the government and the country are prepared for such a measure, however, it will merit con- Plideratianfor some such scheme may be ultimately turned to advantage; but so long as His premature it would be unwise to adopt it. The market for government securities was on the whole strong, but rather quiet, so far as regards speculative transactions. The investment demand for small lots was, however, moderately active, and there were also canal& arable purchases of temforty bonds and the five-twen ties of 1862 and 1885 for export, mainly on account of those bondholders abroad who are reinvesting the proceeds of their May Coupons The domestic inquiry* mainly for the new five twenties of 1867, and seven- th irty notes are being freely exchanged for them. The probability that the new bond. of 1803 will be issued, minus July coupons, about the Ist of June is [calculated to stimulate convey slow) Into the bonds of 1867, at d these of late have been larger than usnal.the aggregate for the week being $6,210. - 860. The highprices new current for railway and raised. laneouestocks,together with the sluggish market for has turned the attention of investors more than ordina rily to-the United States bonds, which. for the interest they bear, are beyond question the cheapest securities in the country at the present quotations. The suspense with which the result of till impeachment trial has been awaited operated materially to restrict transactions, and now that it has practically terminated, the publiO mind le relieved, and increased activity In the dealings will probably be experienced, ander which prices will con tinue to improve. After the receipts of the news of the vote in the Senate on Saturday no session of the board in the room allotted to governments was held, but prices on the street remained unchanged, and at the close the market was dull but firm in tone. The money mark et was easy throughout at six per cent. to borrowers i n good credit on government securities and other first-class collateral', although in the early part of the week seven per cent. was salted in some instances. On Saturday, however, the transactions wore at &$6 per cent., and in exceptional instancee balances were loaned at four per cent, The supply of cotninernial paper of the best grade continues very light and it is quoted at 636807 per cent. on the street, while the banks di.count freely for their customers at the legal rate. 'The domeetie exchanges are in favor of this city and likely to continue eo until the bank deposits have undergone a further considerable increase, and there will bo no heavy outward drain of currency' until the autumn, When the usual movement westward to handle the crops will set in. On the 10th instant, 028,027.000 of compound interest notes matured, and in payment of the principal and interest of such of these as were Presented by the banks the Sub Treasury hero issued $13,606,000 of three per cent. certificatec On the let of May less than 22 millions of the authorized fifty millions, of these remained unieeued. so that little more than eight Sub-Tre as ury n av * rat n h i e ued v oe T h monetary onsef hhn otherwise, its sales, of gold bevies been • less in amount than its purchases of coven thirty notes. ..the statement of the associated banks of this city for the week ending Yesterday shows, when compared with that for the pre. vious week an increase of $71,969 in legal tender notes, 02.086,787 in deposits, and 8130 900 in Woos, and d e , crease of 6347,768 in sprcie and $12,16.0 in eirculation The increase in deposits without a correeponding gain in legal tenders if, to be accounted for to some extent by the fact.

Very Startling Revelations Expected The Conduot of the Missouri Delegation By tbe Atlantic Telegraph. LoinoN, May 18.--A telegram from the Now York Associated Press office, announcing the ac. quittal of President Johnson, on the eleventh o the impeachment articles, haS created the most profound sensation. Nearly all the morning journals, have edited& articles on the subject. The Times says the Eleventh Article was almost too vague fora sub stantial charge, but the vote upon it corrects the fear of any party bias, and shows that the case hes been judged with merit alone. The Morning Telegraph has the following: "Dig nity and decorum have marked the whole trial and the non-removal of Johnson is a most fitting close; and even the most ultra radicals Will be compelled to admit this at no distant day." The Standard says the Radical plot has been beaten and the country has been saved the shame of deposing its chief magistrate for refusing to obey an illegal act of Congress.
