THE PUESIDENOT.
Mr. Colfax, in his speech of Friday 'night,
alluded to the coining campaign as "no holi
day work.' The phrase signifies no doubt
of the result, but it only connects great suc
cess, as it should always be connected, with
great effort. The contest for the Presidency
will be a hot one, because the Democracy are
utterly deaperate in their hunger after office.
The 'half loaf which they have enjoyed
-through Johnson's apostacy has only whetted
their ravenous appetite, and raised a greater
clamor for more. lialsuch a condition of af
fairs we may expect a ,compaign which will
require all the watchfulness, ac
tivity, and energy of the Repub
lican party, to defeat the onslaught of the
sham Democracy in its last desperate struggle
in behalf of the rebellion.
A Presidential campaign in this country
must always be marked With great excite
ment and with much disturbance of the gen
eral equilibrium of trade. But we have been
through twenty of these p'olitical tempests,and
after each the country has settled back to its
natural condition with that wonderful recu
perative power which seems to belong to the
very essence of this Republic. But although
all these campaigns must needs be exciting
and disturbing, there is not always
any very satisfactory reason why they should
be aggravated by the -introduction of those
elements of bitter and scandalous personality
which are already evident in the tactics of
the Democratic leaders in their preparations
for the piesent contest.
The nomination of Grant and Colfax has
taken friend and foe by surprise. The De
mocracy felt sure that the ticket would be
Grant and Wade, and they were ready to
make the veteran Senator the main object of
their attack. Every enthusiastic or
impulsive utterance of the brave old
statesman, in past times, was to be raked up,
distorted, misrepresented and turned against
him, and great hopes were entertained that
General Grant could be broken down by a
furious attack upon Mr. Wade. But to the
dismay and chagrin of the Democracy, this
pretty plan has been spoiled by the nomina
tion of Schuyler Colfax. To say that the
Democracy will find nothing in Mr. Colfax
to abuse would be to undervalue the super
natural ingenuity of a party so long
trained. in the art of blackening the
character of its opponents. But the
task, in this case, will be as difficult as it will
be unsuccessful. Mr. Colfax stands so well
before the country; he has won such golden
testimonials from all classes; he has been so
heartily endorsed by every prominent man in
Congress, of all parties, that it is a hopeless
task to vilify and break down the bright
record with which he comes before the
country.
And so the manager, of the Copperhead
Pampaign will fall back upon Gen
eral Grant and try the power of
abuse upon him. Their own prin
ciples will be sufficiently well served by any
candidate they may select—Hendricks, Pen
dleton, McClellan, or even Chase,—it matters
not who carries their flag, nor will it matter
to the standard-bearer what motto is inscribed
upon his banner. It will be some cunningly
devised fable to catch votes and to conceal the
real motto which does not read well in the
open light: "Success :"
General Grant is to be assailed at all points.
His personal character is to be blackened;
his military achievements are to be de
cried; his record is to be falsified; his
principles are to be misrepresented—
this is to be the plan of campaign. It is
an ugly one to contemplate, but it only
proves the weakness of a bad cause. In lay
ing out such a plan of attack one essential
element has been left out of the calculation.
The gratitude of the American people toward
General Grant is na ephemeral emotion. It
rests upon the solid basis of great services
rendered and great qualities recognized. No
sophistry and no personal abuse can 'shake
the popular faith in the man who proved
as humane and temperate in victory as he
- was indomitable in war. This persevering
courage, this steadfast moderation, this poise
of character, so rare among those who are
clothed with great power in this country, are
the real elements of General Grant's character,
and the people know it. .They know that it
was by the exercise of these qualities that the
rebellion was crushed and the Union saved,
and they will never forget the fact. When a
public servant fails in his duty or is unfaithful
to any trust, his past services go for little
with our people, and it must be so
in a country where everything is pro
gressive. The man who falls out of line, or
lags behind, or deserts to the enemy, is
crushed or forgotten, no matter what post of
honor he may once have held. But the "good
and faithful servant" who, like Ulysses B.
Grant, does every duty well and is always
ready for every post of danger or responsi
bility, cannot be overthrown by cunning in
trigue or open assault. The people delight
to do him honor, and he will prove himself
worthy of all the honor that they confer upon
him.
V ICTORIA 9 B lICTIII.D Y•
Queen Victoria entered her fiftieth year on
Saturday last, having been born on the 23d of
May, 1819. There is something suggestive
in this reaching of the dividing line of a full
century; even plain, simple people, whose
departure from the world would make no
special difference to the great bulk of those
who would remain behind, are apt to think
seriously when they reach this half-way house
in time, and take a look out into the future,
while indulging a retrospect of the past. But
where grave considerations of State hang
upon the lives of sovereigns, the coming around
of the era arouses serious thoughts and excites
speculation.
Queen Victoria has occupied the throne of
England since June 20, 1837,a period of very
nearly thirty-one years. But she belongs to
a long-lived stock, her Hanoverian ancestors
and predecessors upon the throne generally
managing to eke out a pretty long existence,
notwithstanding the burthen of royalty which
they were compelled to carry. Neither of
the four Georges died at an earlier age than six
ti-seven, while two of them lived to become
octogenarians. "Hollands,"brandy and beer
were no match for the Second George, and
he lived to be eighty-three in spite of their
combined attacks. George the Third, Victo
ria's grandfather, lived to the age of eighty
two, and was sixty-years upon the throne.
But the cares of State were not allowed to cur
tail the life of this representative of the Guelphs,
for he had scarcely wit enough left to know
the crown from a buckel basket. George
the Fourth, Victoria's uncle, managed to live
to three-score-and-eight, in spite of a life of
low intrigue and dissipation.
Victoria, who is not addicted to any of the
vices of her ancestors and predecessors, and
who has as many virtues as the best of them
since the days of Alfred, bids fair to grace the
throne for many years to come, and if she
lives to as great an age as her grandfather
did, Albert Edward will have reached as ripe
years as his mother has attained before he is
called upon to bear ,the sceptre. The past
life of the Queen ht s.been a prosperops, and,
in the main, a yaw happy one; she has a
large and promising-family,for whom she has
a mother's tenderness, and grand-children to
engage her fondness. She has never lost a
child, and the death of her husbaid and
mother have been the only serious drosses she
has been compelled to bear. But in these af
flictions, which arc the commcm lot of hu
manity,she has had the warmest sympathy of
an attached people. -
This is the record of the past. The future
is uncertain. The Fenian troubles are not
calculated to smooth the way for, the future
tranquility of the British throne, and the
attempted assassination of the young Duke of
Edinburgh tends to arouse painful misgivings
and apprehensions in the heart of the Queen.
Besides the movement that comes of the
chronic discontent of Ireland, there are seri
ous murmurs of trouble in England itself.
The Reform movement is too formidable in
its character to be treated with indifference or
unconcern; it is already threatening to break
up the old relations between Church and
State; the Aristocracy have a hard struggle, to
retain their old supremacy, and Parliament
and the Queen's ministers are not in accord
together. These are the mutterings of what
may prove a destructive storm. It may
strike the Ship of State during the life
and sovereignty of the Queen. It can scarcely
be possible that the ancient craft will contin-
Untie to have as fair skies and as plain sailing
when, either through the death or the fre
quently talked of abdication of the Queen,
her eldest son takes the helm.
SPIRITUALISM.
The London Pall Mall Gazelle publishes
a letter written by the great philosopher
Faraday some time before his death,ixt answer
to the request of a friend thathe would have
an interview with the spiritualist Home, and
apply to the manifestations of the medium the
careful and exact tests of science. In his re
ply Professor Faraday does not attempt to
controvert the doctrines of spiritillliism; he
merely states the conditions under which he
will conduct the proposed investigation; but
in the course of his letter,he inquires whether
the practice of the spiritualistic belief has been
of the least value to mankind in the respect of
yielding information and instruction, or sup
plying any force or action of any serviceable
character. This letter, and the simple ques
tions involved in it, were not answered, and
Prof. Faraday was not encouraged to pursue
his investigations, Mr. Home probably fear
ing the keen scrutiny of a mind accustomed
to minute analysis, and familiar with all
known natural laws. But the question re
mains, and spiritualism-will never prevail
against the intelligent skepticism of mankind
until it is answered. A theory or a philosophy
that will not bear the test of simple utilitarian
ism, would be contemptible if it were not
hurtful. During the years of the ex
istence of spiritualism in this country in its
present form of manifestations of material
force, it has made nearly one million and a
half converts. What good has it accomplish
ed for these? None ; they are not better mor
rally, physically or socially for their belief.
Theirs is, in some sense, an unselfish devotion,
a blind fanatical worship that neither offers
any temporal advantage here nor an eternal
one hereafter.
It affords no object upon which devotees
can lavish their affections; it has no high
standard of morality to which they can strive
to attain; it does not encourage men to be bet
ter citizens, or to live their private lives more
nobly ; it does not awaken any pure emotion;
it has no ,divinity, no theory of indulgence
or abnegation, no creed, and no definite
end or aim. It professes to have elicited a
novel force, which has no practical appli
cation. It asserts facts, not one of which
has ever been substantiated beyond dis
pute. It 'claims to interpret intelligences that
are familiar with unknown natural laws, and
it has not contributed one ray of light to
science. It communicates with the spirits of
the departed, and yet it has never added one
new truth 'to revealed religion, or demon
strated with the slightest display Of credibility
the falsity of the doctrines of Christianity.
It professes to have succeeded in effecting
miraculous cures of diseases, and flesh still is
heir to all its ills, and spiritualism can afford
to it no relief, nor can it give to the science
of medicine any testimony as to the cause,
effect or treatment of disease.
It claims, also, to prove the immortality of
the soul; but the soul was its own evidence of
that great truth before spiritualism, and in
deed,.Cbristianity. The evidence that spirit
ualism brings does not add anything to th
value of that immortality. If the theory o
that doctrine is true, the soul has an immor
tality of degradation. For what does spirit-
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN---iIIILADELPHIA, MONDAY, MAY 25, PM
nalism denionstrate to be the work of the
soul that has entered upon the second and
longer and last stage of its imperishable ex
istence?.The answer is found in what is
the only tangible result of all the long yeast,
of speculatiOn and experiment. The turn
ing of tables, the agitation of household fur
niture generally, the composition of atrocious
verses through the agency `of mediums,
the production of mysterious rappings,
and the pretended communication with
persons that are deceased. None of
,these manifestations are . more won
derful than juggler's tricks; as expert ma
gician would despise most of them. But
Aainly, they all furnish wretched employ
ment for the departed spirits of men and
women,whose lives have been spent amid the
petty tribulations of this world, and who are
clearly entitled to exemption from care for
the things of earth when they have , passed
beyond the grave. If spiritualism, after all,
should be truth, .we are to have wild and un
satisfying speculation here, and after this, an
eternity of servitude, in which we will be
subject to the caprice of a class of men and
women, who, in the capacityof mediums, do
not command our highest respect on earth.
If the negative qualities of spiritualism are
bad, its positive qualities are worse. If it has
done the world no good, it has done it much
harm. It practically aims to undermine reli
gion, and overthrow a pure system, for which
t has no substitute, good or bad. It tampers
with holy things; it practically scoffs at the
sublime promises of Christianity, by asserting
the existence of a condition of things in the
other world which is incompatible with those
promises. It pretends to a contemptuous
familiarity with those things which Almighty
wisdom has hidden from us. It rends the
vail that hides from us the sublime and awful
mysteries of the eternal life, and strives to
degrade that life by assimilating it with our pre
sent existence in its most unworthy phases. It
endeavors to give expression to the inexpres
sible yearning of finite minds for the infinite,
and it only leads its disciples into perplexities
that are. vastly more bewildering than utter
ignorance. With weak minds and sensitive
minds the failure to obtain satisfaction is
often followed by overthrow of reason.
Spiritualism has produced one fearful result—
madness. It is responsible for the insanity
of multitudes of those who have attempted,
through it, to comprehend death, and where
it does not lead to absolute lunacy it often
accomplishes mental derangement not the
less sad that it is not violent. Indeed, belief
in the spiritualistic doctrine may be accepted
itself as an evidence of disease of the mind.
It Way be contended that the pure sys
tems of religion have produced madness, and
that religious excitement is one of the most
prolific causes of lunacy. This is true,
but the general " physical effect of
religion upon mankind is healthful. It is
the foundation and the motor of civilization,
and it is the guarantee of law and order.
For its hurtful results, Spiritualism has no
preponderating good to show. It is purely
bad. Christians lose their reason in the
worship of God; Spiritualists go mad in
devil-worship, if it is worship at all. It is
much to be regretted that Prof. Faraday
did not make Mr. Home . the subject of his
investigations. Not only might an English
court of justice, whieh, a day or two ago,
found this Spiritualist guilty of swindling,
have been saved some trouble, but an ex
posure might have been made of the acts by
which the dishonest spiritualists dupe their
disciples and lead them to moral ruin. Such
an exposure must come some day, and then
this whole hideous system will pass away
and be placed in history with the not less
vile superstitions of the dark ages.
A.N lON.
For several years past there has been a
steady gravitation of the two great wings of
the Presbyterian Church in this country
toward a common centre. More than thirty
years have passed away since the separation
of these two branches of the American
Church, and in that period, while each has
grown enormously in numbers, enterprise,
usefulness and importance, the antagonism
has died down, and the points of agreement
have gradually gained force. Many of those
most active in separating the Presbyterian
Church have been gathered to their fathers,
and with those who have come
after them the conviction is each
year gaining, that it is "a good and pleasant
thing for brethren to dwell together in unity."
For several years the two General Assemblies
have had the subject of reunion before
them, and each year some progress has been
made in that direction, until, so far as can be
judged from the public proceedings, the ob
stacles that remain are no longer those of
feeling or opinion, but only the practical bus
iness questions which grow out of the ne
cessity of adjusting the interests of the two
bodies in the colleges, seminaries and sev
eral societies connected with the two
branches. Here, there are various
legal and technical difficulties yet ( to
be encountered, but none of
them are insuperable. With a full de
velopment of a hearty desire for re-union, the
way for its perfect accomplishment will be
opened, and there is now a good prospect
that within the next two or three years the
old party names of ".New School" and "Old
School" will belong to the things of the past.
The two General Assemblies now in session
evince a most fraternal spirit toward each
other, and we congratulate both on the pros
pect of the great increase in their power and
efficiency which must be the immediate -re
sult of a re-union such as is now contem
plated and likely to be so soon accomplished.

The Chase Blovernant.
(Special Despatch to the Philadelphia Emil= Bulletin..]
WAstinwrox, May 2.s.—Those who have hip
erto been slow to believe that Chief Justice Chase
was terionaly being preened for Democratic
nomination have been compelled to change their
minds, by the appearance, this morning, in the
telegraphic despatches furnished to various Dem;
oeratic papers by the official stenographer at the
White House, of an article commending Chase
to the New York Convention as the strongest
candidate.
The idea put forth, and which is undoubtedly
approved, U not Inspired by the President, is
that there is a great feeling, in consequence of
the strength of the Republican nominations, that
the most available candidates must be chosen by
the Conservatives ; that those most prominently
urged for the nomination unite in this view, and
that there is quite a general concurrence in the
idea that the Chief Justice could unite all fac
tions among the Conservatives, could carry
seventy Bou.thern electoral votes, and would
cotemand more Conservative Republicans and
disaffected Radicals than any other man that
could be nominated.
It is needless, to say that the phblication of this
remarkable despatch, coming from the source it
does, excites much comment. his regarded as
corroboration of the statements which have
hitherto encountered some doubts, that Chase
wanted the Democratic nomination, and as
throwing light upon his anxiety to procure
Johnson's acquittal, as well as his Intriguing
'with the colored elergy,who have been assembled
here in General Conference.

The Late Harriet Livermore.
rFroni the Bridgeport (Conn.) Btiuidozd s May 22.3
Those of our readers who are familiar with
Wblttler's poems, and especially with hie beauti
ful Idyl "Snow Bound," will recollect the graphic
portraiture interwoven in his description of the
fireside circle of a New England home, and cora
utencing with the lines:
Another guest that winter Vied
Flashed back from lustrous eyes, the light—
Many have been the conjectures whether this
sketch had 'an original in, real life, or was the
simple creation of the author's genius. The
writer of this was informed by Mr. Whittier,
that the likeness was 'drawn from nature, the
subject being a lady, the recent announcement
of whose decease has suggested this reminiscence.
This lady was Miss Harriet Livermore, of an
aristocratic and wealthy family of Philadelphia.
She died In that city a few days since at the ad
vanced age of 81 years. It Is said that an enforced
separation from the object of an early attach
ment, through the authority of her parents,
gave an eccentric development< of an intellect
otherwise brilliant and well balanced, the result
of which was a career remarkable for its romantic
adventures. She became - more particularly an
enthusiast In religions matters, and became a firm
believer In the early restoration of the Jews and
the second coming of the Saviour. Some thirty
or forty years ago, we believe, she promulgated
her views on these subjects, in public lectures
throughout the country, addressing audiences of
the first reepectability and culture,in the principal
cities of the Union. So intense ivaather devotion
to these ideas, and so implicit her faith that the
time bad arrived for their realization, that she
visited Jerusalem on three different occasions, in
order to be present and witness their consumma
tion. The last of these journeys was made when
she bad attained, the age of seventy years, and
was prosecuted under great privations and hard
ships. In a variety of ways she sought to facili
tate the accomplishment of the promised return
of the Jews to Jerusalem, by advocating their
cause not only with her pen, and by public
lectures, but through personal intercession
with the authorities of different countries. She
wrote, we believe, several works upon "the
second coming of the • Saviour, up on
Triumphs" being the only one that we are now
able to recall. She was also a contributor to the
periodical literature of her day, and at one time
wrote for the Southern Literary Messenger, under
the name of the "Lonely Pilgrim." These ~re a
few incidents in the life of this gifted, though
eccentric woman, as nearly as the recollection of
our reading enables us to recall them, and are, in
the main, we believe, correct.
This is the original of the episode in "Snow
Bound," spoken of above; and what more fitting
epitaph for the "Lonely Pilgrim" than the lines
in which Weittier has embalmed tke memory of
a truthful yet erratic devotion :
It is not ours to separate
The tangled skein of will and fate,
To show what metes and bounds should stand
Upon the soul's debatable land.
Prisoners Released by Gen. Meade—He
Announces his Determination to
Suppress all Lawlessness.
TIMED MILITARY DISTRICT,
DEPARTMF:NT OF GEORGI 4, FLORIDA AND ALA
RAMA, ATLANTA, Georgia, May 20, 1868.—Genc
ral Orders No. 80. So much of the sentences of
the prisoners,(William Pettigrew, Frank H. Arfun
day, Hugh L. White, Thomas W. Roberts, James
Steele, John Cullen and Samuel Strayhorn, citi
zens,) sentenced by General orders No. 72 to
confinement at hard labor at the Dry Tortugas,
as remains unexpired, on the receipt of this order
at Fort Jefferson, is hereby remitted, and the
prisoners will be discharged.
In thus early releasing these prisoners, the
Major-General Commanding trusts the clemency
extended toward them will not be misunderstood.
These misguided and thoughtless young men
were convicted, after a fair trial, of acts of vio
lence and outrage against a citizen, with the ob
ject of driving him out of the State. The fre
quent complaints of similar conduct, and the
failure of the civil authorities to repress the evil,
rendered it necessary to exercise the power
conferred on him by law, and bring these pri
soners before a military tribunal. Their convic
tion and punishment having, however, vindi
cated the principle involved, the Commanding
General, in view of suffering imposed on the rel
atives and friends of the prisoners, of the prom
ises made of future good conduct, and in the
belief that a proper example, earlier made, might
have deterred the prisoners from committing the
offence, has directed the discharge of the pri
soners.
The Commandinz:General takes this occasion
to state that similar clemency need notjbe expect
ed in future, and he warns the peopl of his dis
trict that be is determined to suppress all law
lessness and violence, and all attempts of
individuals to take law into their own hands,
or to decide who shall or shall not live in the
country. To protect every person in his rights
of person and property is made by law the para
mount duty of the Commanding-Gen
eral, and it is well the people of the district and
the authorities having in charge the preservation
of the peace,and the execution of the laws, should
know that he is determined to exercise all the
power under his command in the discharge of his
duty, and that hereafter, no considerations such
as are here allowed. will influence him to relieve
the guilty from the just punishment awarded
them.
By order of 3fajoi•General Meade.

The Death Penalty in New Jersey.
[From the Newark Advertteer of May at]
We understand that the friends of the abolition
of capital punishment in this State contemplate
making a vigorous and united effort for the pas
sage of either a compromise bill or a total aboli
tion act, at the next session of the New Jersey
Leg-Mature. They seem to be greatly encouraged
by the very favorable vote had on the bill of last
Winter, which made 3t discretionary with the
jury to decide, in cases of murder in the first
degree, whether the convict should be hung or
imprisoned for life. The bill received a majority
of the votes* cast, although not the thirty
one votes necessary to passit through the Lower
House, where it was introduced. Senator. Mar
tin H. 'Bowe, of Wisconsin, by whose exertions
the gibbet has been abolished in several of the
Northwestern States, intends next winter to en
ter upor an anti-hanging campaign in New
York, and it is expected that he will devote some
of his time to New Jersey, in furtherance of the
csuse to which he ha4Clevoted his life. Whether
or not the people of New Jersey are prepared for
so radical a change In the criminal code of the
State as the removal of the death penalty is a
question which will be fully and duly canvassed.

prit cipal as well as the interest shall be paid in coin.
foreigners feel that they are beyond the reach Of any
thing that Congress may enact in relation to the finances
at any future time; although there is no reason to
apprehend that the government will break faith with
the holders of any other of its bones in any respect.
Another great advantage which the ten-forties pos
tern is the length of time' they have to run. the
horde not being redeemable until forty years from
their date, the government, however.baving the option of
red eeu leg them at any time after ten years; but it will
cc, taiuly not be able to avail itself of this privilege until
long after the resumption of specie payments; and there
will be no inducement to pay off a five per cent loan unt
til after the six per cent. loans have been redeemed. The
demand for all the exportable bonds wee stimulated by
the advance of about one per cent in five twenties in
London,during the week, while the home demand for
investment and the temporary employment of capital
was unusually heavy. The resolutions with regard
to the finances reported by the Committee on Resolutions
to the Chicago Convention exerted a reassuring effect
upon the minds of those who were before In doubt as to
the tendellCV of future financial legislation in Congress,
and the goad feeling produced by the vote of the Senate
on impeachment was thus encouraged. The disburse.
tnent of the May interest on the public debt has led to an
active demand for reinvestment, while the growing
abundance and cheapness of money at this centre and
ekes, here have cau-ed the banks to be free buyers in an
ticipation of higher prices.
The conversions of eeyen-thirty notes into five.
twentiee have progressed very actively at the Sub•Trea.
eery of late. the total since the let instant having been
820.552,550. bee oud which the purchases of these notes by
the Assistant Treasurer have aggreg ated about ten mil
lions. Ihe last of the fifty mil lion of three per cent.
certificates were paid out yesterday in redemption of
compound interest notes, of which 6117,293.000 had
been presented at the SuteTrensury be
tween the date of their maturity, 'the
15th instant, and the close of business on Friday. It is
not improbable that a further have of these certificates
will be authorized by Congress for the redemption of the
compound notes which have not vet matured The special
activity Web° conversions of seven-thirties is due to the
intimation that the new five-twenties of 18+9., without the
July coupon, will be exchanged for
them after the present month. The Sub.
'Treasury disbursed $2,041.000 in coin is payment of
interest on the public debt within the week,, sad
received 82,164.880 for custom duties. The total coin lit
tered payments since the let instant amount to nearly
seventeen millions. The dements of specie during the
week amounted - to $3.947,637. But notwithstanding the
price of gold remained throughout remarkably steady, the
fluctuations having been from laree to 140, with the closing
transactions at M 34. while the volume of speculative
business in the gold room was light.

MAY 23.—The Government bond business dining the
week his been on a scale of magnitude exceeding any.
thing that has taken place since the close of the rebel.
lion, the transactions of one firm alone. Messrs. Fisk de
Hatch, aggregating the total of 1103.779,150 in Government
bonds, exclusive of their other business, front Monday
morning till Saturday at 3 o'clock. The enormous bust.
nets in Governments arises from several cansea. and
Prominent among there is the fact that a number of banks
and invertment holders sold all they held during the Six
eeke of money pressure, when rates of Interest were
and per cent. per day. These parties have delayed
busing back the Governments they had then sold until
this week, when they began to come into the market.
In the stock market the most noticeable feature is the
increased business in investment securities. The brokers
are receiving large orders for Government bonds, fine.-
clan railway bonds New York. and other State bonds,
which command higher prices., owing to the demand
being largely in excess oh the supply. Some influential
eterk operatore who formed a pool about a fortnight ago
to buy Government bonds. realized and closed up the
affair on Thursday and Friday with a larger profit on the
transaction than the same parties have realized sines the
fall of 1e63. Their success has induced them to form
another and a larger pool for speculation in Government
bonds, which is to commence buying next week.
The money market is rapidly merging into a plethora
greater than any we have had for some years. Consider.
able clime are offered for ninety days at 5 per cent to first

the banks' surplus is in buying Government bonds.

Senate,referred to the Committee on Post Offices

eral bill, requiring all bridges henceforth erected
on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to have
500 feel span. He pointed out that the Com
mittee had heretofore fully considered
the sut/ect, in connection with the bills to bridge
the Mississippi river and had applied to the War
Office for information, the result of their in
vestigations' being that spans of 300 feet would
be ample, and which was all that was asked for
by the navigation interests at that time. He said
that railroad and navigation interests are an
tagonistic, and some compromise must be agreed
upon.
Mr. Morton produced further evidence in re
gard to the injury to navigation from the bridge
at Steubenville, &c. The increased cost of

THE BRIBERY INVESTIGATION%
MANAGER BUTLERS REPORT.
LATER CABLE QUOTATIONS.
The Bribery Investigation.
(Special Despatch to the Phila. Evening nulletin.)
WASHINGTON, May 25.—The Mansgeo say that
Woolley, after sending them a certificate that he
was too sick to appear, was well enough to take
the •sight train for New York, from whence he
had telegraphed another certificate of sickness..
They argue against Woolley's claim. that he
could be the judge of the relevancy of the e mat
ters Involved in the questions put to him, and to
refuse to answer thorn.
The report then gives further details of the
evidence taken, Auoting a despatch from W. W.
Warden, the: President's stenographer, to Wool
ley, telling him that those who are most confi
dent of conviction were not those most conver
sant with the inner workings.
They give -extracts from the various suspicious
telegrams to and friqa Woolley and Hugh Thus
tinge, who is styled "The Albany Party," and
who was to come on for business.
Sunset Cox also appears, by the report, to have
figured in the matter. Either he or Shook was
wanted in connection with impeachment, and
was telegraphed for from New York. Cox tes
tilled, after much dodging, that various
schemes for the purchase of Senators' votes
with money were broached to him,
with which he refused to have
anything to do. He advised Collector Smythe
not to have anything to do with the scheme of a
General Adams, who, for a certain amount of
money, proposed to undertake to procure the
votes for acquittal of four Senators. The names
of thew four were not given in the report, Mr .
Butler explaining that this was only an inter.
locutory report, and the names for that reason
were left in blank.
Cox's testimony embodied in the report is
quite long, and shows, beyond doubt, that there
was an attempt to purchase votes, in which he
was wanted to assist, and in which Webster,
Hastings and Shook were in some way engaged,
Thurlow Weed's testimony is that he was ap
proached on the subject, but did not think it fea
eible, but he said funds could easily be had if it
were.
It also appears that Samuel Ward, in the• same
intercst, came on and found out when Secretary
McCulloch was going to sell gold and when he
was not, and that he and hiLtyrty bought ac
cordingly.
The Committee find evidence that the pur
poses of the plotters were aczomplished, in a
telegram from one of their members that his
bus'ness was done.
They trace the suspicious route, which some
of the money took; dwell upon the recherche
supper at Welker's Restaurant, in which the plot
ters and some of the Prealdent'at counsel partici
pated. From all the evidence taken together,
it seems that Woolley was one of
the men who handled the money, and theAdana
gem' object is to find means to compel him to
testify.
The extracts from the evidence show that the
facts obtained have been drawn out from men of
more than ordinary cunning, many of them pro
fessional lobbyists, who concealed all they could,
and told what they must with manifest reluct
ance.
The Committee conclude that Woolley was the
principal worker of the scheme. They say they
only report so much as shows the importance Of
getting at what he knows. But they have other
evidence of great importance, going to show at
tempts to obst - netthe course of public justice.
The report concludes with a resolution, which
orders that Woolley be arrested by the Sergeant
at-arms, and brought before the bar and detained
until be answers, and be subjected to such fur
ther order as the House may-direct in his case.
