THE lAI.I. fxectioss.
Ihe State and Presidential elections of
next fall are already making themselves felt
in all parts of the country. In two or three
weeks the Democratic party will have strug
gled so far through its perplexities as to have
determined who shall be its leaders against
the people’s choice of Grant and Colfax, and
the Presidential contest will then be fairly
begun. . ,
At home we are to have a vigorous and
exciting contest. The Republican party,
true to its retd principles, has broken, away
from the knot of politicians popularly known
as the “Ring,"and having declared that it will
support none but men having the
confidence of the community for integrity
and capacity, has placed a ticket in the field
that will bring out the largest vote and the
liveliest enthusiasm of the whole mass of the
Republicans of Philadelphia.
The importance of the reform movement
in the Republican party cannot be over-esti
mated. That reform should be needed, ar
gues nothing whatever against Republican
principles. It is incident to all political or
ganizations that, in the course of time, an el
ement should attach itself to the party which
may become very corrupt itself, without at
all corrupting the masses, or in any way im
pairing the truth and importance of the prin
ciples of the party.
In a country like this there will always be
a large class of men who make politics their
profession, and within that number there will
always grow up a smaller class .who, make
politics their trade. And so these cliques
are formed which, in modern - phrase, are
called “rings,” and which assume to control
the whole machinery of party organization
for their own ends. Thus a whole Ward of
Philadelphia, comprising millions of wealth,
and a large proportion of the intelligence, re
spectability and substantial worth of the
community, will be brought by degrees
under the domination of Some single man, of
no consequence in himself, who portions out
the offices among his relatives and friends and
then calls upon the voters to come to the
polls and take care of his interesting pro
izg'bz. ,
1b a partv composed of the elements that
predominate in the Republican party, these
cliques axe necessarily short-lived. They
hsTe only to run their course until their pre
tensions become openly offensive, and then
the people take them in hand and sweep
t'tip-i on! of the way.
This good work of purging the Republican
party is now gang on vigorously in Pbjlan
w esc vrith si*.best results. The nom
instaons cf General EectorTyndale and Isaac
tf-? .-tr mss.. at the need 01 the Repubii-

~~r ~1 - - tea; g.iV. by the rank and Die
ci I z~ that sbeir election, with the
m ; Utk£% essj be deemed certain..
Tie css thing needed to ensure success is
perfect organization in every precinct
and u ard. This essentia.! element oi vic
tory has been much neglected in the last few
years, .bntjn-forming the new ward executive
committees many new and active men have
been selected, and they will receive the hearty
co-operation of those who not only earnestly
desire the perpetuation of Republican princi
ples in our municipal affairs, but who are
thoroughly determined that, in the coming
election, the people shall do their own
voting.
It is believed by those who regard the con
test over the DistrictrAttorneyship with the
best personal feeliDg toward the present in
cumbent, that he will yet solve the only
difficulty in the way of a great Republican
triumph, by a graceful retirement. It is so
evident to all impartial observers that a strong
desire and determination exists for a change
in the office which Mr. Mann has
now enjoyed for eighteen years, that it is
not at all necessary to take any
part in the discussion of the merits of the
case. The fact is past controversy, and the
entire harmony which prevails in the Repub
lican ranks, on all points but this one, cer
tainly should not be disturbed for the sake of
the personal interests of any one individual.
It may be granted, for argument’s sake,
that there is not one word of truth
jn all that has been said against the
present incumbent of this important
office; and yet the fact remains, patent to all
who choose to see it, that the people demand
a change and will certainly have it. Few of
ficials have so long enjoyed the honorß and
emoluments of high office in this city as tb
present District Attorney, and it is not at all
unreasonable that he should now give way,
especially to a gentleman so eminently fitted,
in all respects, to fill the office as Isaac Hazle
hurst, Esq.
THE BIJINS OF WASHINGTON.
"Venturing to invoke, for the Bake of feeble
imitation, the genius that inspired Macaulay’s
imagination of the New Zealander musing
over the ruins of London, one may, while
Mr. Logan’s proposition to remove the seat
of government of the United States is before
the public mind, fancy an individual, not
from New Zealand, musing over the ruins of
Washington. It may be an EnquimauX,from
the State of Greenland, yet to be admitted to
the Union. It may be a Canadian, from one
of the variouß States yet to be carved out' pf
the Dominion. It may be a Mexican,, but
also a citizen of. the Union, with a half-Span-
iih complexion and accent; who, while look- j
ing westward over the blank desolation that I
once waa Pennsylvania avenue, can utter 1
joint lamentatiohß over Montezuma and An-1
drew Johnson; over .Maximilian and Jeffer I
son Davis; over Iturbide and Robert E. Lee;
oyer Benito Juarez and William H. Seward.
The historic muser in the late District of
Columbia may. bo a Japanese or a Jeraey
man ; aTuikor a Tennessean; a Welsh
man or a Walrussian.; a Gascon or a Goth- ]
smite ; a Chinese ora South Carolinian; a
worshiper of Josh '6f'6i Jeff. Davis. He
.may even be a descendant of one . of the nu
merous first families “of Virginia, which have
increased and multiplied beyond all
compliance with the scriptural injunction!
He may, perhapp, be a Pennsylvanian, able
to show, with pride mingled With regret,
a genealogy traced to the noble families of
Philadelphia that gloried in being Tories and
traitors in 1770 and Copperheads and traitors
in 1801. It matters little What ho may or
may not be, or when he begins his
mußing. The time may not be far distant
when the city of Washington on the banks
of the Potomac will have ceased to exist;
when a new city of Washington will have
arisen in grandeur and freedom, upon a soil
never tainted with slavery or stained with
the blood of freemen. The historic muser
may even now be living, and be may, before 1
becoming very far advanced in years, com-1
meuce operations,taking a ticket by rail from 1
Baltimore, and landing in an hour or two
quite near to the foot of what he will remem
ber to have heard called Capitol Hill.
Huge chasms in the earth will yawn before
our sentimental tourist as he climbs the
slopes of the hill, and he will recall the times
when the slave power uttered, within marble J
walls now vanished, its first threats against
tbe Union; when a traitor sat in the chief
seat of what was once the Senate chamber;
wheASenator after Senator, and Representa
tive after Representative, formally and boast
ingly announced their treason; when a cordon
of forts had to be built to protect the capital
from rebels whose flag could be seen
from the very dome of the edifice now gone
forever from this part of the earth; when
armies marched through streets now deso
late; when they returned again viGtorious,
and flushed with a triumph over both
treason and slavery; when a great, good and
pure patriot was basely murdered because he
was the chosen and typical man of the tri
umphant cause .of Union, Freedom and
Equal Rights, and when his successor named
Andrew Johnson, false to all his promises
■ and to all the principles that had triumphed,
strove to undo the work that was done by
Abraham Lincoln and the loyal citizens and
soldiers of the Republic, making it, at last,
necessary to remove the Seat of Government
to a spot more worthy to bo the capital of a
free Republic.
These may be a few of the topics of con
templation for the future visitor to the site of
the once capi'al of the American Republic.
He may, with such things in his memory or
brain, spin from it long yarns of
croaking, morbid sentimentalism, about
the dreadful crime committed in aban
doning the spot chosen by George
Washington, for the national Seat of Govern
ment. He may entertain the readers of a
later generation of Copperheads with lamenta
tions over the “gone but not forgotten” days
of Folk, Pierce and Buchanan, when there
« ere slavery and aristocracy in Washington;
when the wives of the very great men who
figured in the government of the great South
ern Confederacy were the leaders of society;
When to be a Southerner in Washington was
like being a duke in London; when, in fact,
a man fr. m a State where slavery did not
exist was a despised “Yankee," in
which term was concentrated all that was
contemptible. Toe mourner over those
“palmy dajb" may point to the spots where
the Capitol, the White House, the Treasury
and the other respectable public buildings
used to stand, and be as tender and toueniug
as the most tender and touching New /. in
lander could be in desolated London. But
after all, what of it?
Carry Washington away to one of the
glorious free States of the West. Take with
it the name and the principles of the great
soldier of the Revolution. Take his relics,
bis records and such of his monuments as are
worthy of him and of the Republic. Carry
them far away from the base crew who tried
to overthrow the political fabric that he was
chiefly instrumental in creating. Make a new
Washington on soil that has been forever free
and untainted by treason. Ten years would
make of it a more glorious city than a
hundred years could make on the
banks of the Potomac, with Virginia
on one Bide and Maryland on the other.
Thirty years—the-life of one average genera
tion —would make it one of the grandest
political capitals of the globe. Clark Mills’s
hideous statues, a few ugly public buildings,
a score of extortionate hotels, and hundreds
of viler establishments might be left for the
sentimental Jerseymen or Japanese to whine
over. But with what they carried with them,
and what their energy, patriotism and money
would create, the “Yankees” would build in
the West a city that would be worthy of the
Republic, with a history free from all asso
ciations with slavery, treason, rebellion and
assassination. General Logan's project is
worthy of serious consideration. Let the
Jersey or Japanese New Zealander have a
chance to sentimentalize on the banks of toe
, Potomac.
he ' CHASE DKOPPEI).
As might have been expected, the leading
organs of the Democracy are everywhere re
pudiating the proposed candidacy of Chief
Justice Chase for the Presidency. The New
York World, which is, of course, the chief
organ, coquetted awhile with Mr. Chase, but
it has been subjected to party discipline and
pressure, and in a leading article, which we
copied yeßterday, it formally and solemnly
abandoned him. Of course all the minor
lights of Democratic journalism, that wait to
hear “what will the World say 1" must now
also abandon the Chief Justice.
Mr. Chase has had the fortune, good OJ
bad, to be recommended for the Presidency
by leading men and papers of both political
parties, and within a few months. AU the
Republicans dropped him early in the Spring,
when his aspirations after Democratic votes
began to show themselves in the impcach-

ment bnsineßß, and at the Chicago Conven
tion he was; not even, named. Then a few
Democrats, overjoyed at what they regarded
as his sympathy with them on impeachment
and other questions, began to think that he
would be an available candidate, *ho would
carry a great many Republican votes, atjhe
South as well asthe Norttu But, after all, his
consistent record as an abolitionist and an ad
vocate of universal suffrage was before the
world, and it soon became evident that he
would not do as the candidate of the party,
whose almost sole surviving doctrine is ha
tred of “the nigger.” Bo it is probable that
at the Fourth -of July convention in New
York Mr. Chase’s name will be passed over
"in respectful silence. It has probably never
before happened in the history ,of parties that
l a man was proposed and dropped by each of
two great opposing parties,' in the short space
of a few months.
OIUOENES. \
Andrew Johnson wants a' man; x He has
lighted his lantern, and is turning its rays
North, South, East and West, earnestly
searching for an honest man to All the re
sponsible post of Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, nice Rollins retired in disgust. No
one knows better than Diogenes himself how
important it is to the country to have an
honest and capable man at the head of the
Revenue Department. No one is better ac
quainted with the facilities for corruption and
robbery that are afforded by the machinery
which is contrived for the collection of the
revenue. No one has greater cause to com
gratulato himself that in spite of sturdy Rol
lins, the revenue frauds have flourished almost
unchecked, until organized plunder and cor
ruption, in the shape of the Whisky. Ring,
have proved more potent than law, justice
[ and honor, and have saved Diogenes himself
from the just punishment of his crimes and
■ misdemeanors.
Mr. Commissioner Rollins, disgusted and
despairing, throws up his office and retires,
and Diogenes, in a well-counterfeited spasm
of virtde, seizeß his lantern and declares that
I he must, shall and will have an honest man
} to rule over the revenues of his kingdom.
I His search is likely to be a long one; not” be
cause honest men are few, but because
I Diogenes does not search for them where
I they are most likely to be found, and
also because few men who care for their re-
putation, like to take office under the Whisky
Ring. Diogenes has ruled out all honest Re
publicans as far as he can, and as his asso
ciations are now mainly in tbe Democratic
fold, it is no wonder that he finds the search
for an upright and capable man for the Reve
nue Department a difficult one. For any one
to Beek the favor of Diogenes at such a time,
is prima facie evidence that he is only an
honest man after the pattern of Diogenes.
The White House reeks with the fumes of
the Whisky Ring, and the light with which
Andrew Johnson Beeks for hiß honest man
is obscured with the smoke of illicit tobacco.
Congress is doing its best to purge the:Execu
tive department of these foul odors, and to
let a purer atmosphere into the whole region ol
national administration. Should these efforts
succeed and the present outrageous frauds
be broken down, there may be hope that a
man of ability and integrity may be found to
conduct the delicate and intricate machinery
of the Revenue Department. But so long as
the present partnership between the Whisky
Ring, the Democratic members of Congress
and the President of the United States exists,
the man who undertakes to be successor to
Commissioner Rollins, with good intentions,
will only prove the old adage:
‘•Fools rush in where angeis fear to tread.”
We called attention, last week, to the
gross fraud perpetrated by some of the
smaller members of the “Ring,” in the
Fourth Precinct of the Eighth Ward. The
Republicans of that precinct who took such
active interest in the recent primary election
will be gratified to know that the fraud has
been thoroughly exposed, and in its main
purpose, defeated. There was no time to
carry the matter before the nomination .con
ventions, but it was, last night, brought be
fore the Ward Executive Committee, com
prising a number of the best citizens of the
Ward. The seat of one of the members
was contested by Mr. Lewis Wain Smith,
and so plain was the evidence submitted to
the Committee, that the contestant was ad
mitted to the seat by a large majority, and
the judgment of the Committee waß thus
officially recorded against the unblushing
attempt to overthrow and defeat the will of
the people of the Eighth Ward. The imme
diate result of this jußt acknowledgment of
the contestant’s claims was the election
of Mr. Alexander J. Harper to re
present the Ward in the City Exe
cutive Committee, in place of the individual
for whose benefit this beautiful scheme was
plotted and perpetrated.. The selection of
Mr. Harper was a proper recognition of his
position as ari honest, upright, independent
politician. He illustrates well the class to
which he belongs, and the Eighth Ward
serves itself best by honoring those men
Who, like Mr. Harper, rely upon their integ
rity and ability for their popularity in public
life.
It Is a privilege and peculiarity of the
champions of a falsehood to be utterly incon
sistent and contradictory. The Democratic
organs, and south, are exclaiming,
against the asserted attempts of the Radicals
to give the negroes the supremacy in the
South, and from; the outcry made about it, it
would be reasonable to suppose that the
Southerners were conscious of the natural
superiority of the race which has risen from
bondage to citizenship and feared that even
with their unequal numbers they would out
run the whites in the race for power. It is
certainly the jealousy which springs from a
knowledge of their own inferiority, and is
especially complimentary to the negroes
whom they affect to despise. But this is only
one of their The most popular in
the South now is that freedom is effecting
the physical ruin of the negroes, and that
they are threatened with total
The Macon Journal expresses this universal
sentiment when it says that “the negro
population of Georgia is traveling with giant
strides towards extinction, and so rapid is
the decline, that those living among the ne
groes can sec the decrease plainly.” Now, the.
contradiction involved in these two favorite
Democratic theoiiea would be' utterly irre
concilable to any set of minds other than
those possessed by the rank and file of that
party. They manage to digest ; the toughest
falsehoods without a pang of intellectual dys
pepsia. If the negroeaare fast becoming the
dominant race, they "are not “visibly" be
coming extinct, and if they are dying out,
even an ordinary need not be
afraid of the fierce barbarity of their rule.
Let us have either one or the other.. We pay
our money and we want to take our choice,
but to give us both at once, iB just a little too
much. •
The Annual Report of Wien Forney, State
Librarian of Pennsylvania, has lately been
printed. It gives a description of the new
extension of the Capitol for the use of. the I
Library, an account of-the moneys received
and expended, a list of books added during
the year 18G7, by purchase or gift, and what
purports to be a list of the newspapers and
periodicals published in the State, with the
publishers’ names, politics, size, &c. I
Strangely enough, Philadelphia and Allegheny
county are omitted from the list, and as the
publications of Philadelphia and Pitts
burgh are more important, more va
rious, and more -widely circulated
than those of all the rest of the State put
together, the omission 1b a very serious one-
The data for the list seem to have been pro
cured through the prothonotaries of the
several counties, and perhaps those officers
in Philadelphia and Allegheny could not find
time to make the proper returns. The Direc
tories of the two cities, however, would have
supplied the Librarian .with the facts that he
wanted with very little trouble, and we sug
gest that in future reports he can copy the
lists from the Directories.

UianT aUe. Po»«c«nion ot the Walk*
iiifT Beam of a steamboat.
A Milwaukee paper 6ays: The passengers on
obe or the boats of Goodrich’s line had some
thing of an exciting time when the boat was com
ing up from* Chicago a night or two since.
Among tic passengers was an insane woman,
who, In charge of friends, being- brought
to this city. The woman was so quiet that her
guardians somewhat relaxed their vigilance,
when suddenly they discovered that Bhc was mis
sing. At once search was made through all parts
of the boat, but without success, and It
was feared the woman, taking advantage
of the moment when not watehea, had jumped
overboard and was lost As this conclusionwfts
arrived at, one of tho sailors discovered through
the darkness of the night a singular object on the
walking beam of the boat. Lights were brought,
when it was found that the object was the insairn
woman in question. She sat on the walking
beam as a lady would sit on a side-6addle, and
appeared to take extreme delight lo being borne
up and down with it How she had succeeded
in getting upon tho beam, a most dangerous
position, conld not be imagined,
but that she was there was certain. Tho passen
gers flocked about, much to the delight of the
unfortunate woman, who acted more and more
recklessly every moment, as she saw she was
watched, and it waa feared she would fall from
her seat among the machinery and be crashed to
death. At tho lime a heavy sea was running,
and the boat lay In such a position that if the en
gine was stopped it endangered the safety of the
boat. It was slowed, however, as much as was
considered safe. At this the womad appeared In
dignant, and made motions with her body as a
boy wul with a rocking-horse to have It go
faster, and threatening to jump off if it did not.
Tho passengers partook of the excitement of the
scene, and were not a little alarmed, expecting
that every moment would witness the woman
cast below. A short consultation was held, when
the passengers were requested to move away,
which they did. Then several strong-armed
sailors, after several attempts, succeeded in
grasping the woman as the walking-beam came
down, and rescuing her, much to her own regret.
When she was sale, every one on the boat, who
expected to see a frightful.dcvelbpmenfto the
scene, breathed easier. ”

[From the New York Herald of To-day. - )
Jcne 15—The gold market has been strong and some
what active to-day. and the finct'jatious were from 140 to
up to the adjournment of the board, with the very
trant'actionr at 14GV- Following this, howerer, aalea were
made &tl4(J&al4o?*- and the latest quotation on the street
\cas I4o%(S.Mo**, There was n6'active borrowing de
mand for coin, and loans were mace at rates varying
from five to seven per cent, per diem for bor
rowing. Tho grofs clearings amounted to 822.826..
Sto, tlis gold balances to 8874,407 and tho
urrency bnlance to 81,265.4*3 Tho advance in 'hi? pro
t:ium in the face of tho rise in five.twenties to
..abroad reflccita the ttreugth of the market, b it the e
were signs of its having teen a*ei»tcd by et>eeulatiYe in
fluence*. The important t'a*.t remains, however, tnat on
Suture aT last tho banks of tMs city held only BlMKj.au,
wbile on the Ist icsttbo Treasury had of iti own s£*..
930.379. of which it will hare to disburse on and
after the let prcidiro more than forty millions in pay
ment of. interest and the matured principal
of the public debt Tho surplus of coin at tho diepnuxl of
the government will therefore be smaller than muni after
that date. aDd ci this the speculator/ are disused to take
advantage, it - ill have tho-effect of appreciating the
commercial vsluc of gold withpat in any way re
flecting unfavorably upon the tuiblio credit, gold
and rilvt r being us much articles of merchandise
during a period of specie en/pen?lon os corn or
po-lt. Ihe SuV-Titnanry disbursed $3?,50d in coin in
payment of interest, and tho conversions of seven-thirty
notes into bond?-Amounted to 81,969,750. Tho Supple
mentary N&tior aH Currency act vrb* befere the Senate
again this afternoon, and. speeches were made for and
against the additional twenty tnihionn of national bank
rotee for which it makes provision. The only argument
that the advocates of this measure can bring forward la
the plausible one that the national currency baa been
unequally distributed throughout the country,
but this really offers no good excuse for
adding to it* volume, and it ts to be hoped that Con
gress will have wisdom enough to reject the proposition.
As national bank notes arc re,dccmublo in -legal tender
note? upon presentation, the amount of the former in cir.
culation should not bejincreaaed. and aa the extra twenty
millions would not be sufficient to equalize the distribu
tion of the national bank cnrrency.the existing inequality
of the distribution fails to justify the proponed addition.
[From tho New York World of to-dav.j
- June 'ls.—Tho features in Wall atreet to*day were the
activity and strength of the gold market and Government
bonds. The tables published this morning as to the uses
and destination of the $39,000,000 of gold to be disbursed
by Government on July 1. have attracted the attention
of bankers and importers to tho unpropittous condition
of our foreign trade, as ahown in tbe excessive specie
drain, owing to excessive imports. Ae tho Treasury De
partment is not likely to be a Ffcilcr of gold, from the un
usual small balance of coin which. will
be ' left ou hand '-after the .July pay
ments, there is no probability of the price
being any lower, and much of its being liighcr. At tbe
present time there is a large uncovered short interest,
which was Increased to-day by further sales, and some of
the leading importeie who nad intended to postpone their
purchases until July, commenced buying to-day. The
market wna active and strong, ranging between 140 and
140?* to 140)6. It opened'at UO% and closed at 140%, at
3 r.M. The rates psid for borrowing weio 1-64,5.6%, and
7 pet cent. After the board adjourned some heavy orders
to buy for importers advanced tho price to 140, I Si to 140)$.
Tbe Government bond market was active, and strong
throughout the day, and price 3 advanced from if to % per
The Treasury Department delivered over $1,000,00 of
new 1668 bonds to-day; butnolB67a will be ready before
the 20th instant. Holders of eeven-thirtv notes should
convert them at once, as tho Treasury Department pays
interest until July l, and there is no-advantage to be
gained by waiting. v > •

THE BRIBERY INVESTIGATION.
THE CASE UEAELY CLOSED
The Managers to Report This Week
TAX ON WHISKY AND TOBACCO.
CONTESTED ELECTION. OASES
; The Impeachment managers.
[Special Despatch to tho I‘hilttaciphla Evening Bolletln. ]
, Washington, jnne Is.—The examination of
witnesses by the Managers of the investigation is.
nearly finished, and the committee, through Gon.
Butler,, wlil, make a report to the Houso during
the present week,’ which will paraato the evi
dence obtained, during the Investigation.
• v As foreshadowed in these despatches several
days ago, no evidehqe has been obtained tvhich
will show conclusively that any of the Senators
: have actually received any money from'thdse op
posed to impeachment, tonsslst in acqtdttfrig the
but enough facts ; have been brought
’ together by the Committeo to Satisfy the country
at large that through the deep-laid schemes of
those known-as the “Whisky Ring,” Impeach
ment was defeated.
The Committee have -met with every concclv
. able ’obstaclo , daring their investigation. Wit
nesses met together before .being examined, and
arranged their evidence so ’ that there Vtroald bo
no conflict and their testimony would be entirely
consistent. The' large number of telegrams
which the Committee obtained,when given to the
pnblic in the forthcoming report, will be suffi
cient to prove that a great conspiracy existed to
defeat impeachment.. ,
All the tcetimony pf tho witnesses, which has
been published from time to time, came from
the witnesses themselves. As these were mostly
favorable to the Administration, they carefully
avoided giving ont whatever wonld tend to
damage their cause. The preparation of the
report of the Committee has been sasigned to
General Butler, and it has- already been com
menced.
Whisky and Tobacco.
[Special Despatch to tho Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.]
Washington, June 16."—The Committee of
Ways and Means were in session this morning)
and have entered upon the work of preparing a
separate bill, as instructed by the House yester
day. The impression prevails that this bill
which will only embrace whisky and
can be drawn up and presented to the House in a
day or two. It is the intention of tho Committee
to embrace in the new bill all the leading features
of those sections in the general bill which related
to whisky and tobacco. These alone
cover about one hundred - and five closely
printed pages, and go into a
entire revision of the method of collecting the
tax on these two articles. The new .bill ordered
by the House will probably cover one hundred
and twenty closely printed pages, In view’ of
this fact it is not improbable that tire
bill will not be reported to the Honse
before the beginning ol,next,week, and then,, ln
the opinion of many, members, it will be dis
cussed nearly two weeks, before it can be passed.
From the present inuications Congress will not
be prepared to adjourn before the 15th or 20th of
July. ■■
Kentucky Contested. Election.
[Special Despatch to die Philo. Evening Bulletin. J
Washington, June IG.—The House Committee
on Elections held a meeting this morning, and
made an important decision in the Kentucky
contested case of McKee vs. Young.
Several days ago this case, which had been re
ported to the House adversely to McKee, was re
committed to the Committee. At the meeting
this momiDg every Republican member
voted to report to the .House that Mc-
Kee was entitled lo the contested seat.
This was done in ’ view of a principle which
was settled in the case of Delano and which
applied also to McKee’s case. But tittle donbt
now remains that McKee will be awarded his
seal.
Tennessee Election Case.
[Special Despatch to tho Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.]
Washington, June 16.—As soon as the House
assembled to-day Mr. Daweß, from the Election
Committee, called up the bill relieving R. R.
Butler, member elect from Tennessee, from cer
tain disabilities incurred by participation.in the
rebellion, and amending ;the Test Oath so that he
could take his seat in the present Congress.
After some debate, the bill, as amended by the
Senate, was agreed to by a-two-thirds vote,
yeas, 99; nave, 37.
Tbe Trial of Surratt.
[Special Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bnllotin.l
Wasiiington, June 16th.—The trial of John A.
Surratt, which was yesterday postponed until

those who represent the Government say that
further time will have to be granted to prepare
bail.

.cigars, and prayiog-that the plan may be tried of
revenue stamp,.instead of on inspector’s Btamp.
Referred to the Finance Committee.”
- Also a petition of persons in New York en
gaged In. the mining of bituminous coal, pro
testing against the reduction of duty on Nova
Bcotia coal. Referred to Finance Committee.
Mr. Sherman (Ohio) iritrpdriced a bill to pro
mote commerce among the several States, and
cheapen the transportation of the mails and mil
itary and naval stores. He moved to refer it to
the Belect Committee of Seven, to report early
next session, saying that it proposes the con
struction of several railroads running in dif
ferent directions from Washington. Agreed to.
Mr. Stewart (Nov.) called up the bill from the
House to relieve the disabilities'of certain cltl- •
zens of North Carolina.
Mr. Doolittle (Wls.) moved to insert the names
of Joseph W. Farrill and Joseph Kenn, of Web
ster, Jackson county, North Carolina. 7 .
In reply to a question from Mr. Conness, Mr.
Doolittle read letters and petitions from those
gentlemen, showing that the first had been aCap
tain in the Confederate service, the latter a mem
ber of the rebel Legislature,'; bringing them
within the disfranchisement of the Fourteenth
Amendment.
Mr. Stewart explained that they had been loft
because no other evidence; bad been offered but
their own statements. . ,
Mr. Conness (Cal.) said ho would oppose- the
amendment without further information, and all
such cases, unless it shbnld appear that they had
net participated .in cruelties to prisoners,ana that
they bad repented. '
Mr. Ferry (Conn.) would vote for tho amend
ment, and for admitting all such persona until a
general bill Was framed to. relieve all such dis
franchisements. -
Mr. Doolittle said one of them had been elected
to the State Legislature, the other as a county
commissioner, and hence the ’ desire , to bo reln-i
slated.: I)-;:;,: ...;■ „.,;V 7.7-:, 7-7:
Mr. Tiumbull (111.) explained that tho names

mostly such as wore recommended by the consti
tutional conventions. and that the committee hod
acted,on the, principle of relieving every man that
gives cvldeiice’of acquiescing in the condition of
affaire, and' Abstaining from opposition ;to tho
Reconatrnclioh laWsof Congress. These men,
however, gave no such evidence.
Mr. Conncaa repeated his objection. •
: Mr.. Wiffiaffig, (Oregon), urged the danger of
establishing the principle of, relieving men who
offered no evidence of fitness, saying the. Presi
dent Would'not . pardon them without some
evidence. ' .
The amendment was rejected by a vote of 23 to
12, Cole, Terry, Henderson,- Spragne and Van :
Winkle voting with tho Democrats.
Mr. Hendricks (ltd.) moved to insert tho name
of George W. Jones, of .Tennessee, -.saying that 1
' that gentleman had always opposed, secession,that'
he had been a member or the National House of
Representatives for four years, and that 'ho
-(Hendricks) made the motion aa his friend, and
. nipt.by bis request.'
: Mr.‘Wilson (Mass.) was in favor ot exercising
mercy towards thoso-who . had offended against ,
the law, when they had given evidence of repent
ance, bntvras opposed to placing these scattering
amendments on the bill. In his opinion many
were worse and bitterer traitorb since than before,
.'or during ,tho war. Ho- coincided In the opinion
! ,of Mri Hendricks in regard- to Mr. Jones. He
'disapproved any political' considerations in
voting for the removal of . political disabilities.
Mr. Hendricks said he would withdraw the
name rather, than have the relief given grudg
ingly to a man of high character, who had always
been loyal. . i
Messrs.]Sherman (Ohio) and Morrill (VtA aiso,
testified to the services'of Mr. Jones in the House
of Rcpreseiitatlves.
'' Mr. Hendricks, at the instance of Mr. Conness,
allowed th'e.amendment, to,, remain, : and it was:
adopted. , i;
‘ On f motion -of Mr.-.j3lewaxt, the name, of
'Thom'as J.'Mdckoyj'of, South- Carolina, i was fn-,
sorted.' " '' " ' ,t. ,
Mr.,Vickera (Md.) offeredthe following as an
addjtionalsectlon: ,:/>
•• Arid.fie il . further enacted,'lh&i, all legal and
golftlcil dlsabilitles imposed by,tho United,
tates upon.aU citizensorthd Southern Stateabo

That sold persons shall first take an oath. before
a magistrate of the county In which, ho may ro
, side that hewUl support the Constitution of the
United States; ana that, this section shall; pot
apply to any,ono who may- be under indictment
for a Violation of the: laws of the United States.
Rejected’without a division.' ,
Mr. Bnckalow (Pa.) mode a few remarks, de
claring himself opposed to the exercise of power
by Congress' that -belongs to the Executive in
every nation, thus placing , pardon in the hands
of a political-party, and claiming that snch a sys
tem of legislation must necessarily be partial and
Unfair. He wonld voto for a general bill for the
purpose if offered.
Mr. Howard (Mich.) denied that there was any
partisanship in thus relieving the disabUitios of
such as bod shown their willingness to acquiesce
in reconstruction. It was strange, that,those on
the other side always saw partisanship in the
measures of the majority. Of course, daring the
impeachment and. since, their unanimity was
owing'to, their conscientiousness, but tho majo
rity would not bo swift to readmit the red-handed
rebels who always had been the friends of the pre
sent minority of this, body without some secu
rity for the future. .
House.— Mr.Phelps presented resolutions of tho
Baltimore Board of Trade against the proposed
reduction of dalles on foreign cools, and a me
morial of the representatives of twenty-four coal
mines in Maryland protesting against any reduc
tion of ,the duty on bituminous coal imported
from the Canadian provinces. Referred to the
Committee of. Ways and Means.
Mr. Covode (Pa.) presented a remonstrance of
sixteen collieries in Pennsylvania against a re
newal of that part of the reciprocity which would
reduce the duty bn bituminous coal for' tho benefit
oi Nova Scotian interest. Same reference. - .
Mr. Dawes-(Masß.) called,up tho Senate, amend
ments to the bill . removing, all legal and
political disabilities from.. Roderick R. Bal}cr,
member of Congress elect from Tennessee, and
permitting the ordinary oath of. office to bo ad
ministered .to him instead of the test oath.;>, :i-i
Mr. Price (lowa.) asked whether this .was not
tho same thing that the Honse had refused to do
in the case ofSenator Patterson of Tennessee.
Mr. Dawes replied in the affirmative. It dis
pensed with the administering of the testoath to
Mr. Bntler, because in point of fact he coaid not
take it, he having been a member of • the rebel
legislature. ~ ■.
Mr. Mullins (Tenn.) spoke against the joint re
solution.
Mr.' Chanler (N. Y.) expressed himself in favor
of universal amnesty, but did not favor these spe
cial bills. He wished Congress to throw the
doors open to Mr. Butler and the other colleagues
of that gentleman in tho Confederate Legisla
ture. ;
Mr. Maynard (Tenn.) said that in his vote on'
this question he would be governed by the same
considerations that had governed ; his vote in
favor of dispensing with the test vote in the ease
of Senator Patterson. ,
The Senate amendment was concurred in by
the neceesary'two-thirds, the vote being, yeas,
98; nays, 27.
Mr. Bingham moved, as a privileged motion,
that a message bo sent to the Senate requesting
the return of tho joint resolution in reference to
tho 20 per cent, additional compensation to civil
employes in Washington.
Mr. Washburne (Ind.) moved to lay that mo
tion on the table.
Mr. Randall (Pa.) moved to lay the motion to
reconsider on tho table.
The Speaker stated that the last motion could
not bo made, as the joint resolution was not bqe.
fore the House; the message asking the Senate
to return it was privileged. .
Mr. Randall—The motion to Lay that. on the
table will reach the object.
Mr. Maynard inquired whether, if the'joint re
solution was retained in the Senate, the vote pass
ing it in the House could 'ever be reconsidered.
The Speaker replied that no action conld be
taken on the motion to reconsider while the joint
resolution was not before the Htousa.
Mr. Maynard inquired whethef,while a motion
to reconsider was pending, the joint resolution
considered became' a law.
The Speaker said ho conld not decide that ques
tion, as he did not decide pointsjof . order in ad
vance, hor anticipate them.' J,
Mr. Spaulding said, if the motion to lay on the
table succeeds, will it not dispose of the whole
matter? ' '
The Speaker said, it will dispose of this ques
tion undoubtedly. f Laughter,j
Mr. Ward demanded the yeas and nays on the
motion to lay on the table. The vote resulted,
yeas, 52; nays, 77. So the House rofused to lay
Mr. Bingham’s motion on the table, and then the
motion was agreed to. :
Tl»e Committee os Wars and Means.

Hr. Bnckalew called attention to tho fwt that

the Senator always declaimed about with so much ;
animation and precision of language, and ho pro
ceeded to say that he hod merely opposed such
legislation, because of the principle mvolved ,of
unfair discrimination.
\ Mr. Howard said the difference between them
was; that he would admit those who had become
repentant—the principle adopted by the Judi

he belongs, were willing to admit by one grand
