«IHE lAMESTAOLE CIVIL WAR.”
Andrew Johnson, in the Senate Chamber
of the United States on March 2,1861, asked,
“Have we reached a point of time at which
we dare not speak of treason ?” On the 27th
of July, 1861, he declared that “Traitora are
- getting to be so numerous now that I suppose
treason has got to be respectable; but God
being willing, whether traitors be many or
few, as I have hitherto waged war against
traitors and treason, I intend to continue it
■ ,io the end.” On the 31st of January, 1862,
Mr. Johnson said, in the same Senate Cham
-ber: “There 1b but one way to compromise
■ this matter, and that 1b to crush the
pleaders of this rebellion and put
■| Sown treason. The leaders of rebellion
/ have declared eternal separation between you
S and them. Those leaders must be conquered,
%and a new set of men brought forward
(f ivho are to vitalize and develop the
i Union feeling in the South, Settle the
■i\ question now; settle it well; settle it finally;
crush out the rebellion and punish trai
tors.”
On the 18th of April, 18G5, President John
/,: son said: “The American people must be
taught—if they do not already feel —that
treason is a crime and must be punished;
* * * that it is the blackest of crime 3
' and will be surely punished. Let it be
Engraven on every heart that treason is a
r-' crime and traitora. shall suffer its penalty.’’
Lln the same speech he reters to “the present
rebellion.” A few days later, in an.
formal speech, he referred to this “ne-
rebellion,” and said “the time has
■Xome when the people should be taught to
the length and breadth, the depth
height of treason.” He said, with great
: “There are times when mercy
Hgand clemency, without justice, become a
K,< crime. And if we should say this of the sim-
H " pie murder of one man, what should we say
■of them who have raised impious
H. hands to take away the life of a
■ nation? Treason is a crime, not a mere
■ political difference, not a mere contest be-
two parties. It requires no great
to ascertain who are traitora And
Bpwhen the government of the United States
Biraoes ascertain who are the conscious and In-
P telligent traitors, the penalty and the forfeit
i should' be paid.” lij the same speech this
> ‘ ftrvent patriot says: “One who has become
- • distinguished in treason and in this Rebellion
i, said that ‘to become a traitor was to consti
■ tote a portion of the aristocracy of the
MJcountry.’ God protect the people against
BTsuch an aristocracy!”
B Turning suddenly from these utterances
B which found a thrilling response in every
■ true American heart, to the Amnesty Procla-
Bymation just offered by the same Andrew
HfrAgbnson to the Democratic Convention at
York, it would be hard to realize the
H|identity ot authorship had not the country
Pjßbeen prepared by a long course of prepara
- ~ wiry, steps for this final degradation of the
President In his eager thirst for the nomi
nation, which be bas so often pretended to
decline, he crawls in the very mire and dust
of rebel sympathy, and glorifies what he
once called “that infernal rebellion,’’
• v , by the offer of an unconditional sur
-7Csender of every principle of loyalty
f ' /upon which the war for the Union
• was waged and won. Jefferson Davis, and
' -possibly John H. Surratt only excepted (and
■ their cases bavc both become farces under
Johnson’s management),treason is blotted out
> as a crime to be denounced‘or punished.
Thousands of Unrepentant rebels, still glory
ing in their wickedness are restored to all
a their privileges as American citizens, and,
■ were there any method by which it could be
■ done, would be placed in higher seats of
B honor and power than those who “lost not
B their first estate." The old brood of vipers
■ who survived the battle-fields of the rebellion
B are wanned into new life and

MVers of the rebellion, whom Andrew Johnson
pledged to crush and punish,

BR all their power for mischief, and encouraged
Presidential sympathy in its exercise. The
and other exiled traitors, seem
apprised in advance of the
HKriendlypurposeB of the President, and have
g close to the ready to

their shame are welcomed by Andrew
as the peers of the loyal men who
believed him when he prated so fateely about
the odiousneas of the treason which to the'
common people was and still is “the blackest
of crimes.”
The price for which this miserable apostate
has thus bartered the remnants of his shat
tered honor is poor indeed. Hoping to buy
Southern voteß, he enters into com
petition with Chief Justice Chase,
and bids against him for the Democratic
nomination. He gets nothing but the dis
grace of the bargain for his pains. The nom
ination is not to be bought with paper pro-
Stions from Mr. Johnson or with servile:
from Mr. Chase. The President,
ing his powers far beyond the obvious
meaning of the Constitution, undertakes to
obliterate every trace of the rebellion. The
people of the United States are purer and
nobler than their rulers. They have learned
the stern lesson's of the rebellion better, and
they hold these men. unlawfully pardoned by
a false President, as guilty now as they were
while the blood of loyal thousands was yet
fresh upon their-hands. They will judge An
drew Johnson and his rebel clients as he him
self judged Aaron Burr, when he said: “Is
there a Senator here who w ould have voted
to allow Aaron Burr to take a seat in the
Senate after his acquittal by a court and jury?
No; there is not a Senator here who would
have done it. Aaron Burr was tried in court
and he was found not guilty; he was turned
loose, but was the public- judgment of
this nation less satisfied of his guilt
than if he had not been acquitted?
What is the nation's judgment, settled and
fixed? That Aaron Burr was guilty of trea
son, notwithstanding he was acquitted by a
court and jury.” The acquittal of Andrew
Johnson bythe Impeachment Court, and his
wholesale acquittal of the leaders of the rebel
lion, are alike condemned out of his own
mouth.
THE FIRE NUISANCE.
At the risk of being accused of a species of
heresy,-we would ask if the present mode of
celebrating the Fourth of July is up to the
demands of the times. Military parades are
very appropriate, particularly in the “cool qf
the morning,” a period and a condition that
were not discovered on the last Fourth.
Patriotic addresses and the reading of the De
claration of Independence are very proper;
and fire-works, when they are artistic, on a
sufficiently large scale to he attractive, and
exhibited in a proper place for the show, are
unobjectionable. But the universal diffusion
of fire which marks the modem Fourth of
July, and which forms the principal feature
of the celebration, has grown to be a serious
nuisance. From before daylight until mid
night, there is a universal banging of guns, a
firing of pistols, and the explosion of
crackers in .gross and by de
tail; and after night-fall, rockets
whizz through the air, and all sorts of petty
pyrotechnic contrivances blaze upon the
pavements, pop upward from the hand, or
whirl upon fences and trees.
Our American Gheber pays no deference
to the sick, the fears of the nervous, or the
shittishness of fractious horses. He deems
it his first and most sacred dutyfto scatter fire,
and make a noiße and stench, and he performs
that duty without regard to the risk of dam
age to person, clothes, or the public peace.
But the danger of universal conflagration is
perhaps, the most serious evil that attends
our modem mode of spending the Fourth.
With our almost universal wooden roofs,
lying as dry and parched as tinder under a
blazing tropical sun, and with the window?
of atore and dwelling wide open for the pur
pose of getting a breath of air, it is no won
der that fires are frequent, but it is
Tather a marvel that half of our Fourth-of
-July observing cities do not share the fate of
Portland.
We laugh at the Chinese for their clatter
iDg of gongs, blowing of horns, exploding
gunpowder and burning of gilt paper upon
State and ceremonial occasions. But ..the
Celestials take good care not to shower fire
down upon roofs that are as combustible as
kiln-dried Bhavings. Very few persons who
have arrived at yeaTß of discretion but wil
admit that the Fourth of July fire business
is seriously overdone, and that a reform is
netded. We have prize poems and prize es
says upon almost every conceivable subject
from potato disease to primary elections. Is
here do league, society or body corporate
that is public spirited enough to offer a re
ward for a scheme for putting a stop to the
annual abuse of fire and the supplying of
Young America with an acceptable and harm
less substitute for his Fourth of July'crackers
and rockets.
We are seriously afraid that Mr. Seward's
extraordinary administration of our foreign
affairs has given some of the less enlightened
nations of the earth an idea that the United
States is a kind of international junk shop in
which refuse of any kind can be disposed of.
Mr. Seward has made such a perfect Mrs.
Toodles of himself in buying job lots ef con
vulsive islands and desolate main lands, that
this impression is not surprising. A states
man who has bargained for Walrussia, and
made bids for St Thomas, Samana,
Lower California, Greenland, Iceland and
a half a dozen of the Feejee Islands, de
serves the reputation of a chiffonier who
would not object to anything that came along.
Denmark seems to have entertained this
theory, and finding the United States so good
a customer for her ricketty islands,she has be
gun to empty her jails, and send to this oountry
vagabonds whose morals are aB loose as the
foundations of the island of St. Thomas. Of
course this villainous proceeding has excited
Mr. Seward’s wrath, for although these ras
■>ls who come here “in large numbers”
affiliate with the Democratic party just as
soon as that party needs a few voteß, the in
justice of placing us in the position of penal
colonists is so so apparent that even a rene
gade Secretary feels compelled to protest
against it.
Mr. Seward directs the United States minis
ter at Copenhagen to address a remonstrance
to the Danish Government upon the subject,
and then suggests that Congress shall “ make
such practices a penal offence.” This is
briefer than most of Mr. Seward’s State
papers but not any clearer, it is quite im
possible'to perceive whether the “ penal of
fence” is to bring condign punishment upon the
heads of the criminals, the ship owners, the
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN—PH!
Danish emigrant commissioners, or the whole
government of Denmark. In the first
instance the amount of satisfaction derived
from this kind of vengeance would be ex
tremely small. In tho case of the two latter,
punishment is not exactly practicable. Our
former practice in such cases has been
to ship foreign criminals directly hack
to 'the ports from which they came,
and at the expense of those who forwarded
them to ns. If Mr. Seward 'finds that this
simple and efficacious remedy. cannot be ap
plied in this instance, we respectfully suggest
that it would not be a bad idea to Bend Dan
ish criminals to St. Thomas and blockade
them in until a hurricane, dr a volcanic erup
tion, or an earthquake,or all of these together,
come along and completely demolish island,
jail-birds and aIL Then we could refuse to
pay for the island, and thus two good results
would be accomplished; we would rid the
world ol some very bad characters, and save
our cash for other purposes for which it hap
pens to be very badly needed at the prebent
time.
We publish in another column to-day the
excellent regulations just issued by Colonel
McFarland, Superintendent of Soldiers’
Orphans, in reference to the annua*
vacation of the schools under his charge.
The care which the State of Pennsylvania
has extended to these destitute children, of
whom nearly four thousand now enjoy its
benefits, is well exhibited by this circular
order. The State is coming up to the full
measure of the pledges which Gov. Curtin
gave to Pennsylvania’s soldiers, as they went
tothefield, and the children of those who
died in her defence are being sheltered,educa
ted and prepared for future usefulness to the
State, under a system of watchful and intelli
gent care that reflects great credit on the
Department of Soldiers’Orphans. Governor
Geary has been most fortunate in his selec

THE ALLEGED TREASURY FRAUDS
THE STORIES CONTRADICTED
The New Articles of Impeachment
The Alleged Treasury Frauds.
(Special Despatch to tho Phllada. Evening Bulletin.]
Washington, July 6th, 1868. In jnstico
to those implicated, it shoulchbe known that the:
accounting officers of the Treasury assert that
there is not the slightest foundation for the sto
ries of frauds in the payment of colored soldiers
bounties, and maintain such frauds to be Impossi
ble. When bounty legislation was passing thro ugh
Congress a conference was held between Second
Auditor French, Second Comptroller General
Howard, and a Committee of most respectable
claim agents practising here, and the result was
a provision, which was subsequently enacted as
on additional safeguard, that the bounties, prize
money, &c., to colored soldiers, shqnld be dis
bursed through the Freadmen’s Bureau.
Tlic New At tides of impeachment*

THE COURTS.
Quarter Sessions —Judgo Peirce.—The July
term commenced this morning. William H. Car
ryil was appointed foreman of the Grand Jury.
The petit jurors were called and a number were
excused lor business reasons. Owing to the
intense heat the attendance at the court was not
large and the court was made up mainly of those
who were compelled to be present.
Peter Burns, convicted of a charge of forgery
on tho 10th of January last, was called for
sentence this morning. He has been in
prison ever since his conviction, it
being the desire of the prisoner that the sentence
should be postponed, in order to allow him to
have the advantage of the attendance of his own
physician in prison, he then being in very ill
health. Since his conviction he has sold his
property nnd made restitution to tho Camden
bank. The officers of the bank, through counsel,
asked that, In view of the conduct of the priso
ner. his sentence should be light. Judge Allison,
while recognizing the fact that restitution had
been made,could not consent that his punishment
should be merely nominal. Tt should be recol
lected that restitution is made part of a sentence,
and in this case the defendant had only antici
pated part of his sentence. Sentenced to ono
year in the County Prison, to date from the day
of conviction.
The constables having failed to appear with their
returns this morning, a rule was entered by
Judge Peirce, requiring the return to be made oe
Wednesday.
Horrible Scene at an Execution in
Nor tli Carolina.
At Salisbury, North Carolina, Friday, a man
named Rufus Ludwick, convicted at the fall term
of the Rowan Supettor. Court for the murder of
bis wife, paid the extreme penalty of the law.
The Old Mrth State Bays of his conduct on the
scaffold: Upon the very threshold of eternity, In
the midst of a solemn, fervent and eloquent
prayer offered up In his behalf by Mr. Rumple
which moved a large part of the vast audience
to tears, he coolly turned aronnd to a by
stander and asked him for a chew of to
bacco, Afterwards, while a hymn was
being sung for his edification, he endeavored to
engage in a very trivial conversation with those
around who were near him! At length the Sher
iff intimated to the .culprit that the time had
come. At this notification he made an effort to
jump from the scaffold and escape. This was
prevented by the Sheriff’s officers, who surroun
ded him, but he had to be hanged by main force.
It required Borne half dozen persons to hold him
while he was pinioned and the rope adjusted
about his neck. Then he refused to stand up,
and he was in a half lying, half sitting posture
when the fatal drop fell and launched his soul
Into eternity. He denied his guilt to the last.
A Queer Story.

[Prom the N. Y. Herald, of to-dilyj
Jwi.ts.—The gold market was firm and active during
the week, and the closing transac'ions on the Btreeton
Friday were at 140 - The shipments of specie from the
Sort aggregated $3,237,532, making nearly thirty tour mil
ons since the 22d of March last, and more than fifty-one
millions since the lit of January. This s'eady eutward
drain of specie has materially strengthened the undertone
of the premium and its tendency at present is upward,
notwithstanding that the Treasury disbursements will
he not far from thirty-eight millions this
month, of which moie than eleven millions
were paid during the week bv the Sub-Treasury in this
city, namely, $9,933000 in interest and SI, 137,000 in pay,
ment of the principal of the bonds of 1848. There was an
active borrowing demand for coin, but owing to these
disbursements the supply gradually increased, and on
Friday loanß were made sit rates varying from two to
eight per ct lit, per annum for carying and at 1-64 p* r cent,
per diem, as well as *• flat-” The advance in the rate of
exchange on England for prime bankers* bills at sixty
days to 11014 is favorable to a very firm market for gold,
and the bill for the taxation of interest on United States
bonds operates in the same direction.
Money was more active than usual of late last week,
but the supply was ample at 4@5 per cent, and now that
the banks nave made up their quarterly returns, it will
resume its former extreme ease. The indications are de
cidedly against any monetary stringency this year, for
reasons wo have before referred to; but a seven per cent,
rate in October is not improbable.
The statement of the associated banks of this city for
the week ending onFriday shows that the bankscontinuc
to gain in deposits, the increase being $6,743690, of which
$4,261,430 1b in specie. The legal tender notes have de
creased $1,727,364, owing mainly to remittances to West
ern banks to enable them to make up their quarterly re
turns and the fact that a large portion of the receipts of
currency from the interior, are in the form of national
bank notes, which are not counted in the reserve.
The loans have increaeedsM4U9s,owing to purchases of
securities by the banks and an increased demand from
the Stock Exchange, but the monetary wants of the mer
cantile community continue on a very restricted scale
Tho amount of national bank notes bold by the banks
and Sub-Trpasury in this city is unusually 1.-vge. some
bank oUlcers estimating it as high as fifty millions, and
hence itefollowß that this will have to he absorbed after
the fair drain westward Bets in before the legal tender re
serve will he encroached upon.
The foreign exchange market waß steady and moder
ately active, and leading drawers on Friday asked 110)4
for their sterling at sixty days, although on the street It
was difficult to sell prime bills at a higher rate than llu.li.
The oidinary demand lrom importers and thespecial de
mand for bills in remittance of the proceeds of five-twenty
July coupons Bent here for collection make bankero un
willing to draw unless at rates allowing a margin for pro
fit on specie ebipmei te against their bills, while the sup
ply of cotton and ■ other commercial bills continues as

Slovenlinoaa ini Spain.
An English writer remarks: The first thing
that strikes an English lady In all foreign
countries Is the absence of neatness, and of that
domestic privacy which some of us cany to ex
cess. It b nothing to us that foreigners do not
feel the want as we do,-that there is nothing in
congruous to the Spaniard in the mixture of
pomp and sqnallor, which the English resident
finds so repulsive. It may seem strange to us
that the courtyard of the Palace at Madrid
should be worse paved than any atableyard in
a dilapidated house in England, and that heaps
of rnbbish should be leit in full view of the
Queen’s windows. So, too, when we hear of
the family wash hanging out to dry over the
drawing-room balcony of the handsomest houses
In Madrid, we are struck by a painful sense of
the scandal such a sight would cause in London.
An English Church Association.
An important movement Is en foot in England
to organize a new association for the defense of
the Established Church against the attacks made
upon it. For nine years past there has been in
existence “TheChnrch Institution,” whose mem
bers (all laymen) consist of delegates from the
rural deaneries throughout England and Wales,
and one of whose duties it was to watch all meas
ures Introduced into Parliament affecting the
Cbnrcb. It is proposed to change the title into
“TheChnrch and State Institution,” which is to
Include clergymen as well as laymen, In addition
to persons, sent from rnral deaneries. Severs
noblemen, members of Parliament and other dis
tinguished persons have consented to join the so
ciety, which is intended to be a formidable oppo
nent of the Liberation Society.

the delegates from all sections, and has increased 1 , jp
the popularity of Chase one hundred per cent. '-lv
Yesterday he was considered out of the field,
