A n t Akus Tißos , soli *lli No. 1006 Oheatunt street, EVENING; BULLETIN. Wednesday, January 26, 1670. . , • INiXAT.IOIIT I • Th•lir. Wagner's speech at the organization Couneile,lie laid his finger npon a great wrong 7 -the, non-collection of, a , great amount of taxes, IVhereby the burden is transferred froß those ;w , lio do mot pay to'lloSe who do. For the eipenSes not covered by Collections are. funded, and the interest thereon becomes a pertetbar Inirden to the tax-payers. It is'not difficult to say'why the >very large amount : ,stated by Mr. Wagner is not collected The large . aggiegate consists :'of •:a great number of small stuns, so that to collect the deficiencies, great numbers of , suits, perhaps thottsands 'yearly, must be brought. This labbr , the officials on whom it would fall are sioi 'much disposed to encounfer ; so that the rig's 'claims are collected tardily,irregularly--- peiliaps, for the most part; not at all. That there is no necessity foi• this, is :,stifficiently slisiwn by the fact that in many cities this state of things does not exist at all; for example, in New York and Cincinnati. Our taxes are now so very high that ..the ..present state , of things ,can no, longer be borne, and a remedy mukbe 'found. Perhaps the simplest would be, to pay the law officers such a price as would stimulate then► to exertion, and" to charge 'this expense apon the delinquents. We. would suggest :something like the following arrangement : Aftfr, the .year expires for whieh the tax is levied; allow anotheryear's grace for oppor tunity.,to. correct mistakes and inadvertent omissions; charging, however, such a per eent agelas' will prevent persons front intentionally deferring payment, say one percent. a month. immediately on the expiration.of that year let all the accounts be passed over, to the, law officer, Whose first duty shonld be to advertise all such names and give (as at present) ,per sonal notice to all registered owners. For. this service let,a moderate charge, say, $2 for each propeitY, be charged., 'At th.e'expiration of 30 days after advertising, let suits be commenced, and the property sold out: For this, let the law officer receive five per cent. and $5 on each property. A double charge of this sort is put, becatise'en large, bills the fixed, sum would be toe little, aad small, ones, involv ing $2O, $3O, &c., a per centage would be in sufficient. The Receiver '• of Taxes Ought, under no circumstances, to receive anything but his salary. There is one point in connec tion with these tax matters that. Mr. Wagner omitted to touch upon, and which is 'of grave importance.. Do all the taxes collected 'reach the city' treasury We have a right to ask this ignestion. Several cases have, happened in our own experience in which we have known they diduot. One of these cases, which hap pened some years ago, amounted to quite a sum. It is to be observed that the' figureacited' by Mr. Wagner are the difference between the amounts due . and the amounts returned as received, and would include such sums, if any there are, as go astray. It seems to us that the city's business is not conducted with such a system of checks as any. careful merchant would employ. Therefore we suggest the fol lowing precautions: Let a special clerk be ap pointed by some different .portien of the city government, by the Mayor or the Board of Re visien for,, example, and have a central desk in the office of the Receiver of Taxes, and let it be lis duty to countersign every receipt, setting down in a register the amount of the payment, and opposite it simply the name of the tax payer. Let a report' of this be made to the Mayor or other officer at the end of 'each day'i business, and be compared at the end Of each month with the Receiver's return. Any irregu larity of.any sort would thus become imme diately traceable. , - It will be evident to any candid person that this,,aystem would, be worth to the.city ten times its cost. It would not merely discover, but t':world prevent irregularities by the cer tainty of immediate detection. At present, years may elapse before they are found ,out, and the loss of a receipt may render it im possible fOr, the payer to prove them. It would be worth more than it costs . merely for the. collateral advantage of the protection of the city against damages from selling property for taxes actually paid. If the city does regularly undertake to collect its dues by sale, it must. always, of course, be legally responsible 'for wrongful sales. A, man cannot be divested of his property by a sale for taxes which taxes he has paid,without the city's being liable for any difference between the full value of his ground and the price which it may have brought under. the Sheriff's hammer. We invite the consideration of our tax-payers to the foregoing suggestions. If these plans are not the best, then let better ones be found. The `Tiesent state of affairs cannot be allowed to continue. THE VIRGINIA EXODES. The people of Virginia are beginning to be very much alarmed at the exodus of neg,roes from that State. Ever since the close of the war, the black people have been leaving in numbers that have increased with each suc ceeding year, until there is a very fair prospect that the productiveness of the State will be se riously injured by the loss of a: very large pro portion of its manual laborers. Fears were en , tertainedby some persons that , manumission of the Slaves in the South would be followed by their immigration to the crowded Northern States, But. statistics prove that the,, disposition of , the blacks is to seek homes in The far South. The ten dency of this tide of emigration seems to be to the tier of States bordering upon the Gbh' of liexico,and to this flow Virginia makes more liberal contributions than any other of the old slave States. It is lornewhat difileult to per ceive why there should be such unanimity of preference among the blacks for hoines in the extreme Southern States, but it is plainly ap parent why they should have very little Wee tion for Virginia: The memory of tie cruelty with which they and their associates have been Treated in' the past ,by the people of that • slave-breeding, , State; experience of the " hideons laws winch deprived thera '1 everything 'that Could make life valuable and endurable,"together with present siiiTering from the hate 'and .scorn 'and bitter 'l4.ejudices of the whites, have made 'it impossi ble that they , slibuld cherish any warm' attack. ment for their old homes. The negreearof the, South et emancipation haVe • not en joyed till the Privileges of freemen. ..Apart from the fact tliat they,ba:Ve been excluded in .most of the states—in Virginia particularly—from el7erynpportunitY to. become more than hewers of Wood and drawers of water, they have been made the victims of petty persecutions and --oftentimes or open- and Acridly violence.— This `emigration. is the coniequence. We are • 'glad to ~perceive; t hat the newspapers, o Virginia, express appreciation of the gravity of ;the situation, and demand that, some measures shall be adopted to secure the State from theloss of its bone and sinew. The first , acknowledment of -the importance ann value of this class to the community has been made since the hegira began. It is to be hoped that , this awakening, to the truth may:be 'the' forerunner 'of reform 'in' sentiment upon the negro question.. , Xen's„ consciences,' are apt to be sensitive when their material in terests are jeopardod ; and the Virginians may now ,perceive the necessity for , some legislation . not only to secure to the negroes the rights given to them by the laws of the United States, but to protect them frooi the prejudice and the 'hatred of the people. The'authorities cannot better begin the new era, upon which Virginia has entered than by adopting , measures to pro tect the State from this increasing drain, and by doing perfect justice to an oppressed people. THE FENIANS. 11ope Pad been entertained .by sensible and peaceable penple in this country that the Fe nian organization was defunct. Patriotic ser vant girls having become incredulous and bank rupt, and enthusiastic hod-carriers having dis covered that expenditure of cash for bread was more comfortable — than investment in Wild Irish bonds, 'it - 168 thought that . Fenianism had perished from want of supplies, and that the leaders, gorged with ill-gotten gains, had looSed flick hold and dropped into luxurious and inglorious retirement. But it appears that there is still a spark of vitality in the organiza; 'Lion, and an effort is to be made to galvanize it into active and vigorous life. 'General O'Neill has ~ issued a, call for a Fenian Convention to meet in New York in April, for the declared pnrpose of organizing .afresh an Irish war against England. In advance of the meeting of the Convention, we venture to offer it seine good advice. There is not the smallest possibility that the Fenians hi this country, or in Ireland; can ever succeed even in endanger ing British rule in Ireland. They can only in cense the British people against the. Irish, and bring misery, distress and death upon their ad herents. But if they arc sincere in their de sire to tight against the Saxon tyrant, the very best thing for them to do will be to emigrate— as individuals, not in military force—to Winni peg, where afew brave rebels are defying the British lion. The Winnipeggers need recruits badly; and if all the warlike Fenians will join their ranks. and fight, - when the tug of war shall come, as ferociously as they talk, there will be a remote chance of the rebels winning their independence. We can spare the Fenians for this work; and' if they, will leave the country in such a manner as not ,to infringe upon the neutrality laws, we will part from them without a pang, and wish them success in a better undertaking than any attempt to free Ireland ever can be. We com mend 'this suggestion to the ' convention, and advise the valiant O'Neill to urge its immedi- , ate . acceptance and to undertake the quick transfer of his cohorts over the border. A.CADEJNY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. The annual report of the Board of Trustees of the building-fund of the Academy Indicates that the new building for the institution will be commenced in the spring. It is to be in the architectural style known as College Gothic. The exterior is to be of serpentine, trimmed with Ohio sandstone.. It will be fire-proof throughout. It is to be erected at the corner of Race and Nineteenth streets, unless an equally eligible lot shall be given to the in stitution, situated either on Broad street or any (( street south of Market. But in the pres t financial condition of the fund, the B rd as not the means of changing the location se e ed, so as to accord withthe views of those who pre fer a site on Broad street or elsewhere. ~ We observe _that $15,000 of the original sub scriptions have not 'been paid. As the conditions of subscription were the same for all, those who abstained from paying at the time stipulated have an advantage over those contributors who did pay, unless they add in , terestirom tbe time when sfibscriptions should have been paid till the date of payment. Those who are punctual in the discharge of such vol untary obligations may be dissatisfied, reason ably enough, with those who neglect to fulfil their promises at the proper time, unless they can truly plead inability. In any case where many jointly agree to contiute to the realiza ' tion of an enterprise, the 'delinquents may frustrate or delay the work by embarrassing the management. In the instance of the Academy project, the Trustees of the building fund seem to be confident that the unpaid sub scriptions will 'be collected in 'time to be ap plied to construction during the present year. Let us hope that funds will not be wanting to complete the work without unnecessary delay. The question of continuing the publication of the _Ley/dui Me Record. has :been • before the Legislature several times - this session, consum ing more time than 'it should baVe done. Yes terday the special committee in the Senate re ported a contract for its continuance; butt hap pily it was not confirmed, and the whole sub ject was indefinitely postponed. 'rids ought to be the end of the matter . tter for this session at least. The Legislature . can ii preserve in the journal of each House everything that is de serving of being recorded, and the printing of the Record has been such an expensive • job ,that the people will bail with satisfaction the news that it is not to be continued. Doing without the Record, the 'Legislature can also do without some of the pasters and folders that have been such an expense. to the State. A great deal of poStage will alsb,be saved, for the mailing of tons, of waste paper under the • name. of a Legialotiec Record was a costly.aditir. 'Re- THE DAILY EVENING BUIOLETIN-rHILADELPHIA, W.EDNESDAY, JANUARY 26, 1870. A novel of extraordinary scholarship and beauty reaches its second edition to-day. This is Victor Rydberg's historical study, " The Last Athenian." The romance was introduced to the - western world by Frederika Bremer, who knew her compatriot the author, and was proud of his achievement; and recommended it for perusal and•translation to W.W. Thomas, Jr., then representing this country at Stock holm. Re has carefully translated the work as a labor of love. It is a story laid in Athens, in the time of Julian the Apostate, when the purer attributes of Paganism rallied for awhile against the insidious corruptions of Christi anity. As a study of one of the most critical epoebsin the history of the Church, the book has been officially recommended in two Swedish Universities, while as an absorbing romance and tender love-story it will be popular with the most blase novel-reader.

At thiS moment the de fendant came for Ward and called Mr. Devin ueY's attention to a 25-cent note on the floor, and asked him if he had dropped it. Mr. DeVinney was in the act of turning to look, when he saw the passing of a hand, and turning quickly, saw that his money was gone, amounting •to over $:100. The de fendant had Bed, but was followed by Mr. Devinney and caught at the door of the bank, and collared. Welsh then offered to give the money back if allowed to go. Mr. Devinney held on until Fire Marshal Blackburn, who was passing, came np and took him to the Central Station:.

(Special Despatch to the Phila. Evening Bulletin.) SPEECH OF GENERAL BUTLER. WASHINGTON, Jana 26.—The much an nounced and long anticipated speech of Gen. Butler,defending the Administration from the charge of extravagance made against it by 31 r. Dawes, was delivered in the House to day, to very full galleries. General Butler commenced his reply to the charge of Mr. Dawes, that the estimates of the Administration called for forty-nine mil lions of dollars more than Johnson estimated for the last year of his administration, by showing that, in the first place,twelve millions of dollars of estimates was a clerical blunder,. and that,at the time Johnson made the esti mates for three hundred and three millions of dollars, and Congress appropriated two hun dred and eighty-three millions, there were un paid balances then in the Treasury, at the end of the fiscalyear,of one hundred and fifty six millions, which - might be drawn upon and which balances were ex pended. Under the policy of Grant's Admin istration these are being covered into the Trea sury, as Grant intends that his administra tion shall live on its own appropriation's. In the War Department,instead, as alleged, fifty mil lions being asked for, only thirty-eight millions have been asked for, and the reduction of the expenditures this year over the lasi , year of Johnson's administration has been $12,- 000,000, and next year it is estimated that there will' be anothet of $0,000,000. That in the Post-Office Department there was a, cleri cal error of nearly $12,000,000 in the book es timates from winch Mr. Dawes read, but of which he noticed only $7,000,000. This takes twelve millions more out of the 'orty-nine.. millions charged by Mr. Dawes gainst: the: present Administration. Mr. Ntwes was not justified in making this at ack, 'as six weeks previous to his speech he had been notified by letter of these errors. I-le nevertealled upon either the Postmaster- General, Secretaries of War, Navy . . or State, whom he „attaoked, Or, an explanation, or to ascertain' whether the estimates were correct, although state- . ments to the contrary have been published. The balance actually called for by the• Post °thee Department was twenty-seven millions, against thirty:tWo millions in the last year :of John Son's reign, making an estimated' saving in the Pest-Ottice Department el . over four millions, and . there was an actual saving, in this Department last year of over °tie and one•httlf millions. In the Navy -Department, instead of, as Gideon Welles and Mr. 'Dawes assert, only ono bun drel and fifty thousand dollars being esti- tea for coal under Johnson's adniinistra- den, the actual estimate was thirteen hundred and: eighty thousand dollars„Or . , almost eleven hundred thousand' snore than Welles; Dawes' & Cm- asserted. There was on hand in the Navy Depattment:at that time, applicable for the purchase of 'coal, an 111111.Sed balance of two millions three hundred •thonsand dollars: So bat the present St crkary of the NaVy could ell say that Ite would.endeavor saVe two Millions out lof •the appropriations' for' coal by 'using - sails' instead of steam in the Navy. At the end of' June,' 11369, which esti mates were Made by Andrew .I'Ohnson, there were sixteen ,unexpended in the Navy 'Department so that Congress only appropriated about sixteen millions, al though Wel tes asked' foi twenty millions ad ditional,. making in all thirty-two millione at . the disposal of the Department. The Secre tary of the Navy asks now for only twenty eight niillions; or four million's le`ss tban Welles asked for. The surplus of sixteen millions on hand thus takes sixteen millionmore oirt 'of - Mr. Dawes's charge of fol:ty-nine millions of over estimates. It will be seen that the. Navy De partment during the nine months of Grant's administ;atiop, as compared with the corra -1 Spending time ofJohnson'e reign, saved $.3,- :MAO. In regard to the Tfeasury Department, I General Butler showedthat, taking out the es ' tireates ordered- by Congress;' with which the Secretary has nothing to do, and the estimate for the interest which is appropiiated for but paid itito the sin - king - fund, and the estimate for detective force to eatelt thefelonswideli Andrew Johnson let loose upon the country, there will be a saving of about twelve millions, 'ln the Interior Department there wore , eleven millions balance to the credit of the Pension Appropriation, so that Congress only appropriated last year nineteen millions,. in addition making together: thirty millions ; and this'year only thirty millions, in addition to pbnsipns paid from the Naval Fund, and from prize monevrand that theCona mittee on'ApPre priations have reported; and the House has passed abill for this sum, showing that Mr. Dawes's Committee did not consider this an, extravagant estimate., ' The Indian Bureau calls for one million less than last year, which, together with the eleVen millions now on hand, disposes of tWelve Millions more of the forty-nine millions. As to the charge that thelegislative branch of service calls for one and one-half millions more than hist year, was it just to charge this sum also to General Grant's Adrainistra tion, when the money would' •• be used by both branches , of,Congress ? • ' Summing it all up, General Butler intio duced a table of tigurbet, showing that; de ducting the balances on 'hand last year, and reckoning the saving made lu the estimates this year, the actual amount called ' for wau lifty-nine million; eight hundred and ninety nine thousand dollars lesS than slr. Dawes had stated; or nearly, eleven millions less than the appropriation of hist year, and nearly thirty:one - millions less than the estimate by, Johnson, instead of twenty millions greater, as asserted 3too iCY-C7i(5451c, General Butler declared that the Republi can party bad a •right td •complain or Mr. Dawes's conduct for making -false-charges and accusations against the Administration, that G'rant had called for $331,000,000 to run thC Government for the next year, when he bad before him at the titne of 'making the scurrilous attack the official report of the Secretary of the Treasury, on the last page,kwhere the authoritative statement is made that but twenty-nine millions would be required for the coming year, or, forty lions less than Itlr.fla,wes asserted. Re blindly rushes ahead, turning neither to the right nor the left. • General Butler also called attention to the fact that Mr.Da,wes was urged as Chairman of the Committee onApprOpriations- because lie was supposed to he friendly to the Adminis , - tration,' although at the time it was'known he was very conservative; that he had never in Congress advocated the thirteenth, four teenth or fifteenth amcndments to the Con stitution, the civil rights' bill, or the recon struction acts. Re voted for those measures, however, but it was the vote of Massachusetts, not his own —he being constrained by his conservatism. Yet, thinking he was a safe,accuratejudicious man, he was put in a plabe where it was ex pected he would be a wheel-horse of the Administration. 'But in the first stages of the journey he has balked, run hack, and titled the whole load into the gutter. He has furnished the best campaign document the Democrats over had, and they would make good use of it, as is shown by Democratic members subscribing for one hundred and fifty thousand copies. Yet, if he bad made the investigation that is claimed for him by his friends in the news- papers, and found facts to be as asserted, he would have deserved all praise and credit. Ills statements were illusionary, calculated to deceive the ignorant and unreflecting, and evidently made in an unfriendly spirit to the Administration, caused, probably, by personal grief's.

This is consid. ered as a virtual defeat of the measure. Forty First Congresti...Second - Session. WASHINGTON, ,Tam 20. SENATE,- Mr. Harlan presented the crfaion dais of his colleague, Jas. B.

The bill gave ,rise to a discussiOn, which Continued until after the expiratied Of 'the morning hour, when the bill was recommitted to.the Committee on Public Lands. The consideration of the currency bill -watt then resumed: • Mr. Corbett referred to the present financial • status ' of. the Government, and said the' country was gradually returning to a sound, basis. The gold riotv accumulating at ,the banks could be held in the place of the three' per cent. certifidates, which the ' bill very properly proposed fopay:; off. .He would port the proposition to , extend banking. facilities to the Southard West,believiug it to be demanded by the immediate necessities of' . those sections. He also favored the provigion for the establishment of banks on a gold basis, and thought these would eventually super cede the prenent natioriat banks. - Mr. Sumner opposed the' bill, asserting that a redistribution of the existing currency could not he made without serious ,consequences to the business, of the country, and..-would,not Materially aid' n financial reconst,rucrion. ..He" , was disposed to assume the cause of the batiks , of New York, PhlladelPhia, and Boston - 10 this matter, because in' 1861,at a iiineWhen the national securities ba receiti.ed'A terrible shock, they furnished the means- by which our forees were organized .against the rebel lion--aso,oce,eoo in, gold ,being furnishecf,by them.

Mr; ; Dawes'ii insinuations.as to the economical no- , tams pf tuat official; by 'Mr.•.Calkia, •iti de fence of the navy yard system, and in favor of League Island; by Mr. Randall, in support of the bill; and by Mr. Daw6 in support of the views heretofore submitted by him. • Mr. Dawes declared it to be his opinion that the three'New England navy yards might" be ' consolidated in one, and ;at New London. That would swallow up the Charlestown anti Portsmouth ravy yards, and perhaps also•the Brooklyn navy yard. IVith the great burden of the public debt; with the currency deranged ; with indthstry pare,- lyzed in every department, he called upon the House to pause and see whether some change of policy might not result in the reduction' of the large expenditure contemplated by the • bill. That was his opposition. to the bill. There . was no use of this preparatory, bill. peur , words in an appropriatien bill, when the time came, would be enough, and be predicted that those words would be added in the Senate to the Navy Appropriation bill. Under tbese circumstances, and with the ' Aye of the country unon them, holding them to their pledge that they would expend no, money unnecessarily in the administration of the government, he called upon therri to wait until the question was settled whether in fa sure the -work of the Navy was to be done in a private yard, before they would launch out on this expenditure. - Mr. Randall remarked that the gentleman from Massachusetts would find no more faith ful allies on the Republican aide of the Rouge than be would in a solid phalanx of Demo crats. It was no new featuor for,thein to vote in favor or to advocate economy. They had stood here for years resisting corruption and fraud on the Tieasury, and would be quite at home in continuingin that direction, and con tinuing to have the confidence of country in that respect. 'Quiet incredulous laughter on the Republican side : l Finally the previous question was seconded, and Mr. Scofield, having charge of the bill, had an. hour to close the debate. Mr. Starkweather desired an opportunity to` submit reasons why the bill should be re committed, but declined to accept any allow ance dame which Mr. Scofield offered to accord. Mr. Wood ward,having five minutes allowed lam endorsed the views of the Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations as to the pro priety of deferring the proposed removal. As to the argument that the removal of the Phil adelphia Navy Yard was necessary to make room for the commerce of that port; he re marked that he had read to the papers the other day that the commerce of Philadelphia had dwindled down to 50,000,and he thought that there was coast surface enough along the Delaware to accommodate the present com merce of Philadelphia, and all the commerce that Philadelphia was likely to acquire in the future. Afr. Scofield closed the debate in an argu ment in support of the bill, and then Mr. Dawes moved to lay the bill on the table and called for the yeas and nays. The Stirihe at Jersey City.
