GITAILDIANS OF THE POOR.
TheToard of Guardians of the Poor seem to
be imitating-.the Bowl' of Health in their timid
avoidance a the respOnsibilities devolvedupon
them. The action of the Board yesterday, in
- rderence , to the urgent-demand for decent pro
iision for .the insane poor, was of the most
discouraging description;and leates little reason
to hope that, under the present administration,
anything will be done to relieve the sufferings
•of the .unfortunate inmates of the crowded
- - wards of the insane Department of the-Alms-,
house.
The Joint Committee of the Board presented
. •
report, yester.43',•setting forththeira(Men' in.
reference to this matter. The Committee had
met the Council Committees on Poor, and
urged the - great - necessities for increased attettd
once and "accommodations, 'and had been given
to understand that the wants of the Board
were•-appreciated and would be attended to:
How they Were "ettended - I.o".tUrned up in
the form of an ordinance to build a house for
the Superintendent, who was burred out,iast
spring, and to engage some additional nurses.
This ordinance failedin Councils, and nothing
at all has been done. .:The Committee say, in
closing their-report:
"Mre have done our best to impress Coun
cils, through their Committee and otherwise,
with the necessity for increased accommoda
tions in the Insane Department. This want
of action upon the part of Councils, not to
say neglect, must certainly arise not from want
of proper feeling, but from lack of a just up
'predation of the merits of the case, for cer
• tainly a body of Menwho can so appreciate
the wants of a community as to appropriate
millions of dollars-for the purchase and im
provement of a public Yark for the. use of
• those whom tikind Providende has already
• blessed abundantly; cannbt, if they but under
stand•e matter ? turn deaf ear to theth plain.
tive aid saddening *ail that comes up trom
those who:have- been and are afflicted with a
malady compared with' which 'death is a bless
ing." _
This is precisely-what the Committee ought
to have said. The language-4s temperate, the •
- facts implied are unquestioned, the reasoning
is-perfect, and directly to the point. Mr. Arm
strong and his Committee had every reason to,
expect from the Board the same cordial en
dorsement which they certainly receive from .
the public.
But what was the reception which - tlfeff re
port met. with Y The majority of the- Board
appear to'have been panic-stricken by the plain
common-sense and undisguised truthfulness of
the document. Mr. Naylor was shocked at
the implied reflection upon Councils, and re
garded the allusion to the Park as .. most .11)-
noxious." Mr. Haines was for hustling the re
port back to the Committee, to be so diluted
and trimmed and sugared and fixed up gener
ally as to take the point out of it, and make It
acceptable to Councils. And this was done.
The ,'Comniittee were effectively rebuked for
doing, their duty, Councils were propitiated,
and the insane poor were left to their 'll.l
misery. Instead of being, in any true 50nit , .
Guardians of the Poor, Messrs. Naylor, Haines
and those who voted with them constituted
themselves Guardians cf Councils, a most un
necessary, responsitility, since Councils are
. abundantly able to take care of themselves.
Then Mr. Haines came forward with the
-usual whitewashing resolution .addressed to
the Board of Public Charities. That Board
'were informed that this Board "appreciate the
interest taken on this subject,"—having just
• shown the appreciation by repudiating the ex
cellent report of their own committee.. The
:Board of Public Charities would doubtless have
prefered action' to whitewashing, but it is a
new Board,
,and its members are practical gen
tlemen, accustomed to call things by th di
right names, to accept responsibility when it
belongs to them, and to look for its acceptance
when it belongs to 'others.
The public will be anxious to know what it
'was in this excellent report of Mr. Armstron;'s
-that Wfl4.SO alarming to the Board of Guarii-
Ans. Itsallusions to Councils are not only
'truthful and moderate. but unusually-- courte
mus.fer. an official document. The appeal
which it dtcws from the . expenditufes - made
upon, Fairmount Park is not only legitimate,
but t peculiati.y appropriate. It recites the facts
sof the case, arid confesses that the Committee
haveexbausted their resources, in attempting
1;,o ,procure relief for the insane poor of the
Almshouse.
We toast that Mr. .Armstrong will not emits
cuLate hie report to suit. the sensitive tastes of
the kluargians oC the Poor. There is uo need
that lesheuld. _Surely there is no man in
• either brauch of Councils that will rise in his
place 2.ad.deny to the poor creatures now hud
dled within the walls of the Almshouse their
right to such care as will make their condition
at least tolerale, and afford them some chances
for recovery.. if there is any such man, it can
not be „too soon Rude known to the people of
Philadelphia. •
Disinterested persons wW not be tvery deeply
gained to learn that the managers of the so
called Beethoven Centennial Festiiat in New
- *York are fifty thousand dollars out of pocket
try..that undertaking. This is severe but just
retribution. The whole thitig was abase and
beggarly imitation, founded upon a fraud; and
as it - wis designed simply for purposes of pecu
niary profit, it i 3 entirely proper that ptudsh
iulent should come in the shape of an empty
txellequer and a multitude uureceipted bills.
—HoweVer, if the Managersdo not . treat their
creditors more justly than they did the public,
their sufferings will not be-in proportion to
the it indebtedness.
BULLETIN.
TUE gltitjOhilE TAAL.
,
The Hon. Thomas Williams, one of -the_
init. and most e3perienced of the,public'me t n
of Pennsylvania, has puhlishvd a letter in the
Pittsburgh Gazette, discussing the question of
the Income nix. Mr. Williams handles this
niportant subject with the ' grasp .of 'broad
statesmanship. . • - 1- . -• • ' ,
Mr. Williams argues, with much force, that
the lncoMe Tax. is only to be preserved to
enable Congress to dispense with otheraoureps
In his own words
of revenue
"It is not pretended that. it - is wanted. It is
conceded that it may bit spared. .It is to take
the place of something else that is to bore
lieved. It is to furnish a wider
,is
for the,
cosmopolitan philanthropy of free-trade theo
right, whci know no country—unless it be
Great Britain—and prefer to feed the paupers
add replenish the coffers of a jealous and im
placable rival, who, hut._ yesterday,. let loose
her .pirates upon' our commerce, and pro
claimed exultingly—almost before a blow was
struck—that our very name had perished from
the roll of nations. And the vote of the House,
refusing even to limit it to a single year, de
monstrates that the policy is to be a settled
one. _ _
"But is thisirue and Striteslitawlike;or even
practical? Will it maintain the credit of the
nation by recommending itself to the holders
of its securities in premising them a resource
on which they can rely? Will it insure the.
fulfillment of our obligations. by making the
burthen an easy one, and improving the pro
ductive capacities of the people? Will it suit
those_ who think that the only honest way of
paying tudebt is by warkingiettif.titil Of comae
providing abundant remunerative -!employ
inent-for-thelaborer, ' the -tax-payer,., by the
protection and encouragement which
his condition requires? Will it pre
serve the ascendencyOf the only
party which is..honestly desirous to
meet in good faith the. obligations of the
nation.; and is-yet-weak enough to allow itself•
to be beguiled into the surrender of a perma
nent resource, complained of by nobody,
which augments the ability of the debtor, and
the substitution of another.which,,in thavery
nature of things, it is impossible to maintain
in a free Government? It seems to' me that
there can be but one answer to all these ques
tions, anittbatis, that; iu every" aspect, the
policy which seeks to revive and preserve the
most odious, unequal, and oppressive of all
our..war taxes, in time of peace, at the ex
pense of the tariff Artly because it pays, and is
'supposed to _bp:rnaintainahlei_ for :the. reason
that it oppresses 'Truly the few, is. as short
sighte_d-' and suieidal„as it:is unreasonable and
unjust.'
Dlr. Williams proceeded with a cogent argu
ment, drawn'from English history, to show
the injurious and unfair iesults of such direct
taxation_as the Income Taxi Ile demonstrates
the unevenness of the burden, and says:
" What is to be said of the mode of imoosi-.
tion,where, in violation of the spirit, if not of
the letter of the Constitution, 270,00 p indi
viduals are Singled out of forty mildew, to
bear the burthen for the whole? I regret to
say that it is apparently for the very reason
that this imposition is so partial and unjust,
that it is in mostquarters so obstinately main-.
tained. If it tonehed the -- great, agricultural,
as it wounds the eommercial and maniffac
turing communities, where Os injustice and
folly are both made doubly apparent from the
tact tbat.thcy are empected to pay • it, while its
object is to, rob them of the very protection
which enables them to do so, I doubt whether
it would have found any advocates either in
Congress or with the press.
• ,l'But even_if it: eretrue tbat.the .270,000.114 7
dividuals who are .made to bear this odious
and unequal tax are not numerically strong
enough in themselies to revolutionize the
Government,.and.overturn the administration
which they assitited in bringing into power,
what is to be said of the argument which de
fends this tax on the ground that it falls on so
inconsiderable a,portion of the people—made
smaller by the fact that it holds out a strong
temptation to perjury, and thereby oppresses
the honest, while the ro,gues are per
mitted to escape—in either its moral
or political aspect? Its very state
ment ought :to -put Its. advocates to:
blush. They greatly err, howeverywho -think
that honesty and policy are different things.
Under the providential arrangement of the
moral order of things in this world, that can
not, be expedient in the direction ot' a State
which is essentially unjust. The right and the
true, though overlaid for a time, can never die ;
and they who reckon on brute numbers to ac
complish injustice would do well to recollect
that while a
,just quarrel is the strongest of
armors, the lesson'of history, is that there is
always a reaction of the moral sense, which
followslike an avenging Nemesis upon the
footstep ofinjustice."
Air. Williams has presented the whole sub
ject of the repeal of the Income Tax in the clear
light of the plainest truth. He demonstrates
by history, .by every sound principle of finan
cial policy and national morality, by every con
. sideration of the highest public expediency
at the duty of , Congiess is to abolish this
odious and unfair tax. Even regarded as a
mere party measure, he shows how 'injurious
it must be to the dlepublican party. He de
clares, truly, that the great burden of the In
conic Tax is , horne by "the middle classes, the
small mechanics and mereliants, the salaried
and professional 'men, who dependupon their
personal earnings, , from year to year, and find
in them a base sufficiency for their families."
These men .are almost invariably Republi
cans,—as every intelligent mechanic, at least,
must logically be." 1141‘ Williams only states
what every sonsible:Rephhlican ought to see,
when he says
" What thou becomes of the omnipotent
argument, by which we have heretofore won
not only the almost undivided support of the
manufacturinginterest,with its thousands of
hands, but that of the' farmers themselves,
that the policy of ,the Democratic party,
though disavowed by them in this latitude,
was Free Trade and direct 'Taxation for the
support of the4ilovernment? If a Republican
Congress will re-enact the Income Tax in vio
lation of the faith plighted to the nation when
it was asked to submit to:it, a Dereocratie Con
gress will make t merit, of taking it off, even
though it should fail to restore the indirect
taxes which its : predecessor may have so
weakly and gratuitously surrendered,"
The House has undoubtedly committed
very grave error in continuing the Income Tax,
even in its naablied forms and this very modi;
fication is a virtual confession that the tax
should not have been continued at all. It - rests
with the Senate to decide whether this needless
,burden shall still longer rest upon the necks of
,the people, and we trust that wiser counsels
and more far-sighted statesmanship will pre
vail to bring about the only prqper and just
action of Congress upon the subject/ The In
come Tax was limPeAl to this year, ashen it was
enacted. Let it die, at its appointed time, and
not lic,lesurrected to trouble and oppress the
people, .and to plague, as it surely will , the
pity that perpetuates its existence.
•
The inaincerity and selfishness of tite free
traders were illuStrated very, nioely . in Congress
yesterday: Mr. Fox, of New York, introduced
a resolution instructing the Committee of
Ways and Means to report a brit reducing the
duty on potatoes fifty per cent. This resolu
tion was opposed, by nearly every 'free trader
among the Weatern . delegations. The very
.same - men who !voted a
,few days ago to put
coal upon the free list and defended their action
with the stock argnments against protection,
suddenly Wheeled . artiund demanded
tendon -. of the tariff,.when its partial removal
tv&idd alli ct their - particular interests. It ditty

!One is as Much'•az necessity he ilie_Other, and
` , the prhilucers the goal have a Oght,,,to ; just
as inch protection'es`th r e gi;Wers of potatoes.
This vote prOVes that the Weifern free traders
are govrerned iV then' views', not`, by tiny high,

will appreclate,at its proper value the action of
these :-Totato'Lprotectionieti; - and - apply' their
latest set of theories td deal, 'when that article
presente itself nakii) for, consideration.
In the New York; Sim,",yesterday Mr. Chas.
A. Dana uses the folloWing)anguage: •
.
"And now,•once for all. it General 'Grant
would walk4nto the San office. in pereon - to
day, and tender.with.his right hand to the. ed
itor a'signed and settleffcommission as Collec
tor of this pert,:effering in addition to the fees
of the oilice a duplicate sum made up out of
the contributions which. he has receivedfrom
A. T. Stewart and other rich importers, that
offer wouktbe declined."
.
It is so completely' safe to write -such a
promise as this that we have no reason to
doubt the`' entire - :si ncerity • ok Mr.' Dana's de
claration. There are men in this city who are
ready to take a solemn oath before a magistrate
that they will - never 'accept the throne of Spain,
and that tender of deeds in fee simple of the
continent of Africa will be refused firmly and
peremptorily: - The indueements held - out to
Mr. Dana.to break .his promise. probably
be no stronger than. the temptation that will
be offered in the latter. cases. But of course
this. does ,not alter the well-known fact that
Mr. Dana would have accepted the Custom
Buse a year ago ; nor does it relieve him frem
the shame of having made:indecent
the President because the, chance of acceptance
or refusal was not given him. In this matter,
as well aslif the twitter of the pmente -- given - to
Gen. Grant by_ Mr. Stewart, Mr. Dana's
virtuous wrath is -surprisingly like the indif
ference of the fox for .this jnaccessible 'grapes,
TEE LATE. Dlt. ECKHARD.--i-We receive an
anonymous -communication requesting _us te
retract our stateent that Dr. Eckhard with
drew from his professorship in Torresdale on
account of his unbending Protestantism. De
mortuis nil. nisi Ve11121? Btit as the. friend to
whom Dr. E. often recounted- his dispute, in.
the words we employed, is at our elbow; while
our correspondent is anonymous, we cannot
yet properly retract Anything. There wore
two parties to that disagreement, one of whom
survives ; and from . that person, .whom wd
would treat with all deference and respect, it
seems to us that the denial should have come,
APa rule we have very little faith in, and.
very little respect for, the dramatic companies
that appear in this city in the -summer time
professing to -represent New York theatres .
For the most Dart they are made up of the
rag-tag_ and hob-tailof first--and second-class
companies, and they start out with the expec
tation or amazing the people of what they call
"the provinces" with specimens of "metropo
litan" talent. Our experience with these vag
rants in the past has been that they have just
about enough talent to enable them to play in
the Bowery to an accompaniment of crackling
around-nuts, and not quite enough ability to
warrant the appearance of the members in
our theatres in posit ons_ni.ore = ..arditoug - th au
.....those occupied by the useful gentlemen who
do the ehoral laughing and - the shouting of the
peasantry upon the stage. But we were
agreeably disappointed with the company
which began an engagement at the Walnut
Street Theatre last night, with a drama en
titled The, Lancers. We believe these persons
fairly represent one of the best stock -compa
nies in the world ; and because of their honesty,
notless than for their general excellence, we
desire to give them a hearty welcome and to
praise their performance as warmly as it de
serves.
The Lowers is a military comedy of la
character.somewhat similar to them The
scene is laid in a Fretieh camp ; and such , a
strong Gallic flavor is perceptible in 'the
whole play that we are, warranted in the sup
position that it is an adaptation from the
French. Wherever it came from, it is a clever
little comedy. The plot is not at all elaborate,
but its simplicity is charming, and"' it is de
veloped by a lively dialogue and by a succes
sion of incidents which are highly dramatic
and often exceedingly amusing. Some, of
the situations are very strong indeed ; those in
the second act, which is the best portion of
the play, are novel, ingenious and very effee-
tive. The use made of the song and the duet
as zrfeans for proVoking the quarrel upon
which the catastrophe depends, is admirable,
and to the best of our recollection, has never
been.used in any shape before. - Only two of
the characters have the merit of novelty.
" Victor," the handsome soldier of fortune;
"Estelle," the high born maiden who loves him,
" Banquet," the comic warrior, and " Porn.
ponne," his heart's delight, are all Ancient
and familiar Sgures, whom we have seen
in nearly every comedy of • the kind
ever written. 'Pie "Colonel?' is in some re
spects a new acquaintance; and although he
is an outline rather than .a; full figure, he has
some individuality, which was made very
Striking by Mr.'Warner, the gentleman who
personated him. The best eftort of the dra,
matistis " gine. D'Aplorah, " Colonel's
sister. As Thackeray said of Mrs. Nickelby,
she is a discovery. We always knew of the
existence of such a person, but we never ex
pected to meet her in literature or upon the
stage., She is the type of thegarrison woman;
the old campaigner, who exists in every mill
tary station, who wields despotic authority
over subordinate officers; :and is commander
.de facto whatever pretensions her husband
may make to the position. There are army
officers who, if they should see The Lancers,
would regard this woman Avith a sigh,,and re
member her as an ancient enemy. She must
have boon drawn from life. No man, however
vivid his ;Imagination, could have conceived
this Being and given tier tihape,substance and
language.
But the ipersonations of all the characters
whatever tkeir merits, deserves praise. Miss
Louisa Moore played "Estelle," the heroine,
with charming grace, and she sanga pretty
little.song octavo very nicely. The Colonel's
Sister found diiost accomplished' interpreter
in Miiis Amelia,iilarris, who hada magnificent
opportunity, to ~which phe was fully equal.
The grandeur of this Amazon, was positively
oppressive ; and *bough the lines given to
her were few, her presence was felt even when
she was Ifilent,.very-sioch as we have always
imagined the Egyptian starkness was felt
Mr. Neil Warner played the "Colonel" most
admira.bly,And.Mr. J. C.Williamson contrived
to niake a very amusing person out of a

7HE FLOOD IN TUE SVS4HJEUANNA
The River nt Wil inmsport.
The unprecedented rains orThursday, Fri
day anti Saturday caused a rise .in the river
which, for rapidity, has not been equalled for
many years. The tributarieS in this immedi
ate vicinity were not much swollen, showing
that the rains had spent their power along
the main stream. On Friday morning the
water bad reacheti fifteen feet above law . wa
ter mark, and so sudden had it come up that
large quantities of logs which had been
rafted mit Orthe - boom and not secured in
basins or harbOrs, were • broken - away and
swept down stream. The vacuum lett in the
Susquehanna, hoem where logs had been
rafted out was soon filled from the crowds
above, and many logs estfaped at the bottom
and passed downstream. The water reached
its height about two o'clock on Saturday
morning, when it marked-nineteen ,feet nine
inches, being several inches higher than the
spring flood. As'near as we 'could ascertain
the following losses have been sustained:—
About 7,500,000 feet of logs escaped from the
boom. Probably. the loss to the lumbermen of
this city will reach n early $300,000, not con uti ng
the drawback for what they mayreeover below.

OUSE—Continued from Fourth
Mr. Schenck, of the Ways and Means Com

some slight verbal amendments and asked
unanimous consent that it be made the special
order for Tuesday next,- to be debated - under
the five minute rule.
Messrs. Butler (Mass.) and Randall both ob
jected, saying they desired-the bill to be con
sidered in Committee of the Whole.
Mr. Butler- suggested that Air— Schenck
change the programme to - that effect.
Mr. Schenck declined to do so, as 'he was
unwilling to spend so much time in debate.

chances of bis motion next Monday.

Court of Claims jurisdiction in the claim of
„William D. Campbell,for loss of an unfinished
steamer alleged to have been seized at. Cairo,
in 18E3, by order of General Grant, and subse
quently sunk. Adopted. •
Under the regular call of committees for
reports, the Committee on Claims - reported a
large number of bills of a private nature, the
consideration of which consumed the morning
hour.
Mx. Washburn (Mass.) reported an act to
pay loyal . citizens in States, lately in rebellion
tor •services in taking the Eighth census.
Passed.
Mr: Ela, from the Committee on Claims, re
ported a bill providing'for funding the interest
to the State of Massachusetts, :amounting
to six hundred and seventy-eight thousand
dollars, on money expended by her on coast
defence, &c., during the war of 181 g.
Pending doe debate the morning hour ex
pired, and the'case of Whittemore was taken
up..
Air. Logan submitted a resolution reciting
that the Cotninittee on Military Affairs had in
February last submitted a report, showing
that 'Whittemore had accepted pecuniaay con
sideration for his patronage, and the
same Committee had reported a. resolution
expelling him, &c, therefore,
li'mlred, That the House of Representatives
refuse to allow him to be sworn in as a mem
ber of, the • Forty-first. Congress, and that his
credentials be returned to him..
Mr, Logan said the House had the power
by a two-thirds vote to expel ..a new member.
The House could not expel for difference of
opinion, but for a violation of its rides.
Whittemore had violated the rules by the
commif . sion of an act which was, considered
felony in the courts. Having power to expel,
the El °embed also - power to exclude. The
claimant had been proved guilty and had
by his resignation confessed the justice of the
sentence which the House was then about to
pasti upon him. The authority to expel em
.braced also the authority to exclude. The act
of Whittemore was infamous, and all that is
lucking to .make him infamous forever and
incapable of holding a seat on this floor was
the judgment of a Court. Whitternore's act
being infampus it must be in the power of
intrusion.
his
to protect itself from his
his constituents were notified that this House
does ,net consider Lim worthy of
a seat on this floor. They have
seen lit to return aim, probably by way of in
sult, or to show they would have him there
in spite of Congress. The House had no right
to presdribe politics or religion. of its mem
bers, but have the right to expel or exclude
fur infamous conduct. Otherwise it would be
in the power of a constituency to corrupt and
destroy representative government. There
were no precedents in favor of Whittemore.
In ',past Congressional legislation Mr. Gid
dings had-been censured, and resigned, and
returned in sixteen dais,: but. his
