Sew Articles eSapfiretf by Tliaddeu®
Washington. Monday, June . 22, 1868 The
Hon. Thaddeus Stevens has prepared new articles
of impeachment against President Johnson,
which be will report to the Bouse as soon as the
Amendatory Tax bill is disposed of. He has
written an elaborate speech in support of these
articles, and will deliver it In the House when the
articles are offered. The articles as at present
copstitnted are fonr in nnmber. The first
impeaches Andrew Johnson for a high
misdemeanor in violating the Constitution
of the United States by making pro
visional governments in the Soathern
States without the consent of Congress, etc. The
si cond impeaches him for a usurpation of the par
doning power, both in tho cases of rebels and
of deserters from the Union army, whom he
pardoned for the special purpose of enabling
them to cast their votes at a pending election in a
loyal State, The 3d impeaches him fora high crime
in using the patronage of his office to obstruct the
laws ol Congress in the Southern States. The 4th
and last Impeaches him for a corrupt nee of the
patronage of his office in the elections which
have taken place within the last three years in
the various Stateß of the Union. Mr. Stevens
has spent a great deal of time and labor in tho
preparation of this new attempt at impeach
ment. He has gone all over the investigations
which were made in the first attempt at impeach
ment, and over those of the late trial as well,
and from them he has framed a new indictment.
It may be remembered that the strongest article
of the famous eleven, and the one which Mr.
Johnson feared moat, was matured and written
by Mr. Stevens. It is not expected that a vote
con be secured on theee articles during the pre
sent session. Mr. Stevens is aware of this, but
says that he will bring them up early in the next
session. He wants the truth and facts to go to
the country even if nothing further can be ac
complished.—Morning Post,

The following resolutions were adopted at a
meeting of the Democratic Association of Jack
son, Miss., a few days since. Not satisfied with
proscribing the colored race, the “Democratic
Association” has openly declared War against the
whites who may differ with them on political
grounds:
Whereas, A secret oath bound organization, in
violation of the laws of the State, exists in this
city, known as the Loval League, which we be
lieve to be not only mischievous, but well calcu
lated to disturb the peace and good order of so
ciety; now, therefore,, be it
Resolved, That withont intending in any man
ner to'interfere with the political rights of citi
zens of any dassorpartles in the exercise of the
elective franchise, that we will not hereafter em
ploy; countenance or support in any manner any
man, white or.black, who is known to belong to
the Loyal League, and who determines.to con
tinue a member thereof. •
Poughkeepsie, Jane 22.—There is much ex
citement in this city among the Episcopalians in
relation to a recent school commencement of
Eider’s Seminary in Christ Church. On that oc
casion Dr. Swope, the officiating clergyman,
need severe language in relation to all schools
which are not connected with the Episcopal
Church. - Bight. Bev. Bishop Potter was present
at the Church, and it is asserted that he would
-not have-come here if-it-had—not-been-to assist;
Mr. Eider; who is a radical ritualist. It is also;
asserted that Bev. Mr. Wright, also, an'Eplscopa
lian, but an anti-ritualist,, could not obtain the
presence of the Bishop of the diocese at his
school commencement. To add still furthor to
the flame, I am informed that on next Sabbath

[Correspondence of tho Philads. Bally Evening BulletM.}
; Washington, June 20,1868.—'The excitemen 4
of the day Is the reported resignation'of Secretary;
McCulloch, which story Is regularly circulated
every day by the enemies ef McCulloch, and Is
regularly denied-' This morning’s Baltimore Sunt
in its “Data”, despatches, supplied by W. W-
Warden, one of tbe President's Secretaries, in a
labored article, stated, in substance, that
come time ago, when the President was in
tronble. the <members of the Cabinet;' had
assured him that their resignations were at his
disposal, if he desired them, and that McCulloch
with the others, had made the Bame tender. The!
article also stated that the clouds over Mr. John
son having dlsrppeared, he now would be glad to
have Mr. Groesbeckaa the Secretary ol the Trea
sury, bnt that McCulloch stood In the way, and
that the President .would be glad to receive his
resignation. ,
This article produced a decided sensation here,'
as it was interpreted as an invitation on the part
of the President to the Secretary to'tender his
resignation, aud it wonldbepromptlyaccepted.
This idea was strengthened from tho fact that one
of the earliest visitors at the White House was
Secretary McCulloch, who hada long andeonfl
dential interview with the President, but what
transpired there can only be conjectured. McCul
loch soon -afterwards returned to the Treasury
Department, and with a laudable desire to learn
the exact state of the case, I called npon him, and
inquired whether he had: resigned or'not He
was as “cool and calm 3B a Brimmer's morning,”
and by no means exercised at the thought of
leaving those princely granite halls. He sold:
“I have not resigned, nor do I Intend to. If
the President desires my resignation he can have
it, bnt until he docs I shall stay where I am.”
' “But did yon not see the semi-official invita
tion in to-day’s' Baltimore Sun fer you to resign,
and that it would be promptly accepted by the
President?” I inquired.
“No, I did not see it. I did not read it, but
some of my friends told me about it. I shall
tske no notice of any outside publications, no
matter where they come from; but I am ready to,
resign , whenever the President in writing re
questait” ‘ ■ v-. ;
After a few minutes in brief conversation on
other subjects, I left. From his manner, lam
satisfied he intends to “stick” for some time yet.'
-This is a decided defeat for the National Intetti
gtneer party, who have assailed the Secretary
unmercifully during the past week, because of
bis retusal to become a party to their lobbying
ecbemes and jobs.
A MOTLEY CROWD AT THE WHITE HOUSE..
This momirg there was a motley crowd at the
While House. First was a party of New York
Democrats. Prominent among them was > the
“Hon” John Morrissey, advocating the claims of
tolonel-Wisewell, for Commissioner of Internal
Be venue,'backed up by Gen. Steadman, ex-Col
hetor of Internal Itevenne, at New Orleans, on
the same errand-’ Wißewell thinks he can'be
confirmed by the Senate, and his friends claim
the votes of eight or nine Republican Senators
for his confirmation, 'in addition to the “im
inortal nineteen”, who voted for acquittal, and
who have always since been counted on by the
Democratic candldatesfor office, when counting
noses in the Senate. No one who understands
tbe complexion of affairs In the Senate believes
anything, of the kind—for no Radical Senator
would be likely to so. far forget himself as to
tnler into a compact of this Kind in advance.
The fight Is really between Cutler, of New York,
and Perry Fuller, of Kansas. Bona tor Rosa, of
Kansas, rides out in Fuller’s carriage daily, so
people cannot help thinking that Fuller haß great
infiuence over Ross, and just now Ross is sup
posed to have great infiuence with Johnson. ■
JOHNSON “NOT MUCH OF A'GREAT FATHER.”
But to the crowd at the White House. The
custom is to open the doors and admit the
visitors at once to the Executive presence. This
was done to-day. There' were two Indians pre
sent, Who, when the doors were opened, and
tht y saw President Johnson standing at the head
ot the table, to receive the company Individually,
could not restrain their exuberance, and they
Inqnently cried out “Ya-hoo,” “Ya-hoo!” and
chuckled like delighted children at the “sove
reigns” walking up. to pay their respects to
heir “big father." One of the Indians said to
ilit other.
“ Ugh I him not much big father—little man—
so big,” raising his hand to illustrate his ideas.
This caused a general laugh among all present,
at the “ big father’s” expense, who looked savage
and supremely dignified—to repress all fa
miliarity. The Indians were soon given
to understand , that their business was
with the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, Hon. N.
G. Taylor, and they were soon. shown towards
the Patent Office, in which the Indian Bu
reau is situated. The incident at the White
House caused much amusement to those present.
HEAVY CLAIM FROM A PHILADELPHIA FIRM.
Secretary Schofield Is paying attention to the
suspended claims presented to the War Depart
ment. Among the claims that have been before
the Deportment for some time is one from
Kichard Norris & Sons, locomotive builders of
Philadelphia, for more than $200,000, which grew
out of the Bale of eighteen locomotives to the
government in the early part of the war at the
rates existing prior to the inordinate issue of pa
ptr money, which increased the prices of every
thing. It seems the firm had on hand in 1861-62
eighteen locomotives, which had been contracted
for to be delivered to the Pennsylvania Railroad
Co.atsls,6ooeach. The government needed them,
and they were delivered and need by McClellan’s
army. The firm subsequently filled the order for
the Pennsylvania Railrood-Co., bnt the prices of
labor and material had enhanced so much that
each locomotive cost $2,000 over the contract
price ($15,000 each) agreed upon. The govern
ment offers to pay what the Pennsylvania Rail
road agreed to pay for the locomotives, bnt no
more, so the firm must go before Congress for
relief. Secretary Stanton expressed himself fa
vorable to the payment of the claim, bnt there
was no law under which it could be paid. It Is
expected Secretary Schofield will give the matter
his favorable consideration, and that no opposi
tion will be made to it In Congress, as the firm
came to, the rescue of the government at a criti
cal period of its histpry, and should not suffer in,
consequence, th* loss of $216,000. 1
f PROSPECTS or A TARIFF BILL THIS SESSION.
SHon. David J. Morrrlli-of Pennsylvania, is of
the opinion that the short tariff bill of last ses
sion, which failed In' the House, will pass this
session before Congress adjourns.
RELEASE OF JOHN H. SURRATT.
, When this individual' was ordered to be re
leased to-day, a shout went up from the Court
Honse that made the welkin ring. Thia clearly
demonstrated the sentiments of the people here.
Prominent Democratic politicians' struggled to
see which should be firet to go on bis bond, in
order toigain popularity. ' One of his bondsmen
is Owen ■ Thorn, publisher of a conservative
evening. paper here, which is apparently on
its last 1 legs, ‘ and he, doubtless,
desires to galvanize it into life. Everybody ex
- pected.to.see Horace Greeley step up and become,
one of the suretiesTTiuT'h'e did not put in an ap-
Eearance. They, talk of Snrratt going back to
I ary land to. live, and running him as a candi
date for Congress next fall. This is the last act
of that farce, for he will never be arraigned
again In this city. If John Wilkes Booth had,
been brought here for trial immediately after the
assassination of Lincoln, he would have' been
acquitted by a Washington jury.

{From tho Boenos Ayres BtasdsniL] ~
: Lieutenant-Colonel Margaret Fareira and Cap
tain Anita Gill are tbo femaleofflcors in command
at the'pass of the river Tehlcnarl, where a very
retpecmble] force Of girls and women is held
under arms to dispute the passage of the river
by the Allies. This is tho tenor of tho advices'
that last camo down from Paraguay, and every
Well-Informed person In military matterß knows
that they are correct.- 1
: Brigadier-General Eliza Lynch, with the, main
body of the female army, is encamped midway
between the pass of the river and.a small ' inland'
town. On the road to Villa Rica the right wing
of her'army, under the command of the mother
of Captain Herrero, has deployed slightly to the
left, so As to hang on the invaders should they
effect a crossing of the river, and cut up Mrs.
Colonel Margaret Ferelra and her' heroic girls.
Belays of girls and women keep constantly ar
riving at the headquarters of ,the femi
nine commander-in-chief. From what we
gather from letters and statements, it would seem'
that the male portion' of the Paraguayan army Is
veiy reduced, and ore occupied In defending the
fortress of Hnmoita, the positions near Tlmbo,
: tbo encampment at Villa Bica, and the fortifica
tion at Lambare. The guerilla portion of the'
campaign—or-what is termed here the' “guerra
de reenrsos”—is entrusted to the women of Para
guay; and reliable data have been received that *
the troops to the north, near the Tranqnra Lo
reto are exclusively composed of women.
As to the exact number of women nnder arms
in Paraguay at present it is' impossible to say,
owing to the varied and conflicting Statements;bat
lor years past a great portion of the heavy
work attending «n camp life has been performed
by the unfortunate daughters of that once lovely
country! Even in the trenches around Humalta
the weak arm of woman has shovelled ont
the earth to make a grave for the allied invaders!
female cbaiques have gone from point to
point over |he country with despatches! the
steamers and vessels in the port of Ascnncion have
been alternately discharged - and laden by the
tiembling hands of tbe worsen in the capllaL-
Everythlng of worth and valne that these poor
women possessed has been snatched from them
to assist in the defence of their country! They
have toiled in the field'for the last three years;
they have sowed, raised,and harvested the crops;
they have mode clothes for the soldlers from the
fibres of plants; they have maintained the hospi
tals, cared for the wounded and sick; they have
supplied the army—and now,with Satanic power,
they are dragged to the front, and placed in the
breach to fight the whole Allied army! ’ '
We, for our part; demand of the foreign Minis
lers to send commissioners up to Paraguay to
investigate the real condition Ot affairs
and report thereon. If, as the news
goes,'’ the Allies, in attempting to cross
tho Tcblcuari, have to fight the girls, then
the honor of Enropp is at stake in at once stoD
ping this horrible war : The Allies themselves
must see the utter impossibility of carrying on'
hostilities upon such terms.: ; Supposing that It
were possible the Allied army could afford a regi-.
ment or a division so mercenary and so
base as to fight against the - -poor Para-'
guavsn women, and if in the battle the
Allies were so unfortunate as to win the
day, not all the wealth of Matto Grosso, not all
the trophies of Paraguay, wohld recompense for
the tarnished honor of such an ill-starred victory.
If the war is to be carried on nnder sfich circum
stances, hU the.'Affies'mußt fight the women of
Paraguay to cany! out the tenets of the triple
alliance, then at lfiast let it be on equal terms;
let woman be ranked against woman, and man
against man. Bonth America is a strange land,
where such eventualities come to pass, and when
■he women have fought itout on their own line,
and the men also fought it ont on theira, then let
us take to the children, 'send ior General Tom
Thumb and his wife, and tints bring to a felici
tous conclusion this celebrated and never-to-be
iorgotten Triple. Alliance War.
A Prominent merchant charged with
raise Pretences—A BanK udteerthe
Prosecutor.
[From the Fittsbhrgli Dispatch of Jane 22.]
For some days past reports have been freely
circulated regarding certain operations of one of
our prominent merchants, in which it is charged
large amounts of money were' fraudulently ob
tained. It is said that, becoming involved, he at
various times procured the endorsement of notes
for moderate amonnts, and before getting
them discounted, that he largely increased
the amonnts of the notes by alterations.
Bnmor has it that the omonnt of money
thus obtained will reach the high figure of
elgbty-two thousand dollars ($82,000). Within
a few days past the merchant alluded to made
an assignment for the benefit bf his creditors,
and has since then, it is said, left for parts un
known. There is considerable discussion in
business circles as to how the transactions re
ferred to will affect the endorsers. Can they be
made to pay the full amonnts received upon the
notes or only the ainonnt they endorsed for ?
Some hold that the discounting of such a
note will relieve the endorsers entirely. The
general opinion is, however, that if they can
prove the omonnt they endorsed, that only can
they be made to pay, while if they cannot prove
this, they are liable tor the amount the face of
the note calls for. The endorser himself cannot
be a witness, and if the accnsed cannot be
brought up, how can the true amount be shown?
it is seldom that ontaidc parties witness busi
ness transactions in the way of endorse
ments, and hence the difficulty that is likely
to spring np. We may say that the accnsed in
this case has heretofore stood very high in bnsi
nesß and social circles, as did ins father, since
whose death the merchant succeeded to the busi
ness. Bis relatives are of the highest respecta
bility, and the gentleman has married into the
family of a wealthy citizen of the best standing.
The charges that nave been bronght against him,
and which rumor circulates with a thousand
tongues, have been a great blow to a large circle
of our best citizens.

—A Present from tlie Empeior Napo-
leon.
[Corroepondence of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. 1
New Obleahs, June 17th.—After a hot and
spell we have had shoirere, and the city
and snburba have freshened into newer life.
Early oh Monday morning last the central
wharf at Pass Christian was homed. A large
warehouse and aconslderabloamountof freight
were destroyed. ~ ’V,'
The New Orleans, Opelousas and.(treat West
ern Bailroad, or the Opelousas Bailroad, as it is
familiarly called, is attracting much attention in ■.
view of the proposed extension connecting it
with almost the entire railroad system ol Texas.
The Company propose a connection between:
their present terminus at Bcrwick’sßay, and the
Houston and New Orleans' Bailroad, which ter
minates at the Sabine Biver, a gap of 163 miles..
The Company appointed a committee in May
lost to prepare afnll statement of its liabilities
and assets, the prospects lorthe future, the cost
of the extension, and the probable
effects thereof on the financial affaire
of the rood. The committee has prepared the
report, |n which they announce that the total
debt of the company is $2,674,793 54,, of which
there Is now due, $596,793 69. The value of the,
Toad, s6for as now improved, and of its pro-
Sof all kinds, is $3,840,000, an excess over.
ties of $1,265,306 46. The cash earnings of.
the road are now about $lO,OOO per month,
against about $17,000 per month before the war.
It !b calculated that the road would earn
000 per annum if the connection could be made
with Houston, at which rate it would, in less
than three years thereafter, pay. its. entire debt
and the cost of extension, ‘ The . President and
Directors of the company, therefore, propose
certain terms to such parties as will undertake to
fill np the gap. From Berwick’s Bsy to the town
1 of Vermiilionvllle, a distance of sixty-three miles,
the grading of the rood is nearly completed.
: The crop reports from many ports of the State
are highly favorable. The Clinton (East Fellcl-,
aha) Patriot of June 18-eays: ‘lThe late .rain did :
incalculable good to the growing crops. If not
visited by a drouth this month, and: there is.no
prospect or it, there will be a large surplus of
corn made. The reports In ; relation to the cot
ton worm have entirely died out, we believe, and
all agree in saying that the plantnever gave bet
ter promise of an abundant yield.'’ A correspon
dent of the Bayou Sara s Aether has discovered the
“Simon pure” army worm In his cotton, but en?
tertains the hope that it will not do mnch’dam
age now. The PolntCoupe'o Acao,of,the l3th,
complains of theprotracted diy spell,'but; thinks
that, at the woipt, . enough com will
be grown for bocne consumption. The
Planters’ Banner of the 18th, says: "The
crops on the road (from Franklin to New Or
leans), look a hundred times better than they
did last year, bht some of them are somewhat
neglected. , ,There are evident marks of improve
ment, and proofs on the whole route that the
people are determined not to give np the ship. •
The com and , cane of the Lafourche generally
look well. They have had no good crops since
the war. They hope to raiee- on' abundance of
com, potatoes and'peas for home consumption.
The people are cheering up, and have much
brighter hopes and stronger resolutions than
they had last. year. The Lafon'rche country is
evidently recuperating.. Borne cotton bolls from
an Opelousas plantation are on exhibition. There
Is a noteworthy prospect of a good yield of fruit
in some sections. • \___
The arbitrators on the part of the city for estl-’"
mating the value of the Watct Works for supply

The Water Works Company claim that the value
of the property is abont two millions of dollars.
The law gives the city a right to buy ' the works
at- their real value,' to be agreed upon by arbitra
tion, for which city bonds, at 5 per cent., are to
be given, having thirty years, to run.

early hour yesterday morning. : Mr. Johnson
was about taking the evening train for his home

the depot, from some unknown cause fell across
the track, Just as a train waß backing In. His
left leg r was broken and crashed in a
terriblo manner. DrS. C; Johnston, Coßkcry and
Monmonler were promptly in attendance, and
did'all in their power to save the life of the nn
fortnnate gentleman. He was subsequently re
moved to the Baltimore Infirmary on Lombard
street, where it was found that he was too weak
to snrvive amputation, and at three o'clock yes
terday: morning he died. Coronar Carr held an
inquest, the jury-rendering a vordlct of “death
from being run over by a train in the Northern
Central depot” The remains were properly pre
