that the election has not yet closed, the polls
being continued open until the -evening of

having made it impossible otherwise to se

Tint NORTII GERMAN treaty providing
for voluntary expatriation was ratified by
the Senate yesterday, being only amended
in one slight particular. This amendment
we presume to be in the direction indicated
by Minister Bilicnorr, a very interesting
and full letter from whom explaining the .
verbal understandings upon which the
treaty was drawn up, was laid before the
Senate. It is understood that he advised
the State Department that the terms of the
treaty were understood -by both parties to
be applicable as well to citizens already
naturalized as to future expatriation. The
tunadatory ratification doubtless incor
porates that understanding in the text. Mr.
BANCROFT'S letter has not been given to the
press.
OUR STATE FEC!ANCES.
The letter of our Harrisburg correspond
ent, "Allegheny," makes a clmr and intelli
gible statement of the condition of the
finanees and of the precise character of the
measures' of legislation which bare been
proposed affecting th Treasury. He con
firms the opinion already expressed in the
GAzE.Tts, that there exists no ground What
ever for apprehensions as to the ability of
the Treasury to meet alltheobligations upon
it. He explains the bearing of the several
propositions pending, corrects the erroneous
fig,nres which ignorant or interested parties
have industriously given to the public,
and briefly but significantly presents the
• whole matter as one rather concerning a
greater or less surplus constantly' standing
over in the Treasury, than as-really endan
gering the credit or financial integrity of
Pennsylvania. As a candid, straight-for
ward expose of facts, in the interests of the

valuable contribution to the stock of public
infonnation. •
EQUALITY OF RIGHTS.
We believe in the Equality of Political
Rights; that is, that all persons of adult
years and possessing ordinary reason, are
by nature and of right equal to each other
both before and behind the laws—both in
determining what the laws shall be, and
in: th6-exercise of immunities and privileges
growing out therefrom. We do not expect
'soon to see the conception we have of jus
tice in this regard actualized in this country
or in any other; but we mean, according to
the measure of strength given us, to do our

tion of the greater umber of their political
friends.. While, some Senators have voted
one way, others, comprising a majority of
the Republican members, hive voted in
another, each and all of them being equally
controlled by their several individual jadg
ments, and recognizing individually their
highest judicial responsibilities. Nearly
one-third of a Republican Senate have thus
been foUnd differing from their brethren
upon points of very great importance
and have not hesitated severally to square
their actions by their conscientious conclu
sions, regardless of minor considerations.
In this they have afforded to the country a
-complete refutation of the unjust charge of
partizanship, of a foregone determination to
try the accused 'without preserving the forms
of 'justice, and to convict him regardless of
any testimony. When the hour shall come, if'
it ever does, - that we see Mr. Johnson's
Democratic friends and supporters in the
Senate 1 emulating this conscientious and
high-toned devotion to judicial impartiality,
-we shall be . ready to give them the same
credit for it.
That more than a constitutiowd majority
of the, Senate will be found consenting,
upon proper-proof of guilt, to the removal
of the President from office, there can be t as
little doubt.. We do not hesitate to say to
our readers to-day, putting it on record as
an estimate of the result, that, of the forty
two Republican members of the Senate.
at least forty are morally artain to sustain
the blipeachment when the House shall have
established it articles by adequate proof.
Of the two possible exceptions, one will not
vote at all, unless his duty to the State he
represents shall require his vote, and then it
will be given constitutionally and fearlessly,
and without exposing him to the slightest
imputatioit upon the Purity of his motives.
We think that but one Senator, usually
classed as a Republican, can be found who
will hesitate to adjudge the issue upon the
clear and simple ground of established guilt
or vindicated innocence. Let the Rouse
establish the commission by the President of
any one of the<iinpeachable offences as'laid
in its articles, and the entire body of the
Republican Senators, with the bare possibi
lity of n single exception, are morally cer
tain to stand squarely up to their duty.
We hope that no intelligent Republicans
will suffer themselves to be coaxed or fright
ened into believing that certain Republican
Senators will, on the final issue, prove
false to themselves and to the public neces
sity. A number of journals, professedly
Republican—some of theni edited by "old
granny" politicians, fossil remains of extinct
political cliques, and others manipulated in
the secret interests of the great criminal now
on trial, and willing to wound but yet lack
ing the courage to strike an open blow at the
party of popular rights—have been occupied
since these proceedings commenced, in sly
allusions, covert insinuations and dispara
ging inuendoes against one or another of a
half-score Republican Senators, usually
naming them and assigning all sorts of per
sonal or political motives, as likely to lead
them severally to prefer Mr. JoirssoN's re
tention in office. It is not worth our while
to specify the names of any of these gentle
men, whom too ready apologists for_. a
treachery wished for but never to be realized,
have industriously slandered - by their shame
ful imputations. Senators whose convictions
of duty are so powerful as to lead them,
'even in these days of unrelentingly bitter,
partizanship, to rise above political associa
tions and listen only to the calls of consci
entious duty, are not very likely to be
swayed at by petty intrigues or person
al jealousies.
We are content, therefore, with re-assur
ing our readers that the President's impeach
rnent has been undertaken, is to be conduct
ed and will have its final issue in accordance
with the loftiest considerations of duty, and
irrespective of any personal considerations.
It is gratifying to find ourselves able to add
that, as this great trial proceeds step by step,
we recognize fresh encouragement for 'our
belief that the day is rapidly drawing near
for the relief of the Republic from its niost
dangerous enemy, and for the restoration of
peace and a perfect union to a long distract
ed people..

value 'to seeli a'l popular verdich True, it
.
requires a stern "self-possession to wait,
when the end postponed is ardently desired;
but a clamorous and ' unrestrained impa
tience has lost many an issue that might
otherwise have been gainedin due season.
The other class - of hinderers is com
nosed of persens who are destitideof strong
convictions and emotions on all subjects.
They deem_ it unjustifiable, if not unphilo
sophical, to be. in earnest about anything,
except taking care of their own chances in
the lottery of life, and especially of their own
promotion in the field of political adventure.
Having no ambition to mold public opinion
into conformity to any ideas of superior
Right, or Truth, or Justice, they are mainly,
if not exclusively intent, on so flattering the
preValent humor of the hour as to find their
indieidual profit by advancing or receding
as the tide of sentiment ebbs or flows.
For the last thirty years it has, not been
difficult to trace the harmful movements of
this class in the 'political history -of the
United StateS. When thd, discussion of
slavery opened, and in all the vicissitudes of
its progress, they alternately evinced cour
age or cowardice, just as the skies were
bright or.overeast. As each fresh step to
wards the ultimate goal was
, proposed, they
revolted and turned the other way; but this
. lasted only for a season. In the end they
were constrained by the pressure of opinion
and events to do the very things they had
before declared ought not to be done. In
this *ay not a few of them were e,ompelled
to endorse the Proclamation of Emancipa
tion, the raising of Negro Regiments, the
Civil Rights Act, and the 'authorization of
Negro Suffrage in the revolted States.
While they endorsed these measures they
felt a strong degree of hesitancy and an ar
dent desire to be delivered, by some sudden
interposition of Providence, or some humili
ating fickleness of public opinion, from do
ing what they regarded as an unpleasant
- duty or necessity. Having gone so far it
affords them, just now, solid satisfaction to
feel warranted, inconsequence of what they
' account a drying up of fanaticism to de
nonnce -Negro Suffrage, and even to ap-.
plaud the recent decision of the Supreme
Court of this Commonwealth, delivered by
AGNEW, denying an equality of
rights in public conveyances to certain in
dividuals on accoinit'of their color.
The same vacillation is apparent in_ this
class of hinderers if their course on impeach
ment is closely inspected. At first. they
were stoutly opposed to it. They could dis
cover no 'motives to
. it in the laws or the con
duct of the President, but only in what they
denounced as wild schemes of the Radicals.
Last autumn a vast change came over their
conceptions. They.then regarded the Presi
dent as ahold and bad man, who had in
vaded at once the prerogatives of the, co
ordinate departments of the Goyerninent
and the liberties of the people, and in so
shameful a way as to demand his summary
arraignment, trial and deposition. About
the time Congress opened, the wind of their
conceits shifted, As they then judged, there
was no ground for impeachment; the Pres
dent had not exceeded his powers or failed
in his duty in a Single respect; and the idle
gations against him were palpable shams
undeserving of serious consideration. Now,
they have changed again, and are
loudest among the loud in denouncing the
behavior of the President and in demand
ing his speedy and final expulsion from the
high position he prostitutes..' •
These are simply specimens of the la
mentable infirmities exhibited by men who
are controlled by, no fundamental ideas, but
are _literally afloat on a mighty stream of
events, which drops them into eddies orhur
ries them down rapids independently of
conscious volitions on their part. One of
the chiefest of this class was recently report
ed as embodying his governing motive in
pOlitical affairs by confessing that he was
conservative when the people wanted him
..a.
to be so, and'as client as any body when
that course is d anded by the multitude.
Just now; not wof this class are find
ing employment in denounting Negro Suf
-frage. If they were content to affirm that
no issue relative to the right of the blacks to
vote Was joined and trying in the current
canvass in Pennsylvania, they would ex-,
press the simple fact. The Republican =
State Convention maintained an instructive
silence on that head. In the Legislature,'Mr.

LETTER FROM HARRISBIRG.
Finances of the -State—Carrying Over
Large Balances Misstatements Cor
rected—The Pending Legislation—The
Contested Election Case -- Gigantic
Frauds Exposed.
ESPedul Corregardenee or the Pittsburgh Gazette
HARRISBURG, March 25, 1808.
Several statements, eviffently having
their origin here, have been set afloat, rep
resenting the financial condition of the
State as desperate, and hinting breadly at
an exhausted exchequer. It was even pro
posed, in the interest of those who got up
this clamor, to induce the Legislature to au
thorize a temporary loan.
• The source of all this anxiety about the
State finances is to be found in the eagerness
of interested parties to keep the balance of
the money on deposit throughout the State,
to the credit of its Treasurer at the perma
nent figure of two millions, or thereabouts.
There are those, however, who think this
State can get along in money matters with a
working balance in its treasury of consid
erably.less than two millions. I confess to
a slight leaning that way myself.
In the first place it is given out that the
new Pension Law will take $400,000 out of
the Treasury, and that the Appropriation bill
appropriates that amount., It so happens,
however, that the sufn set apart foi this pur
pose in the appropriation bill, is only $2O,
000. A slight difference, The Auditor
General, it is true, had said that the old
Pension law, if re-enacted, would take
$400,000 out of the Treasury; but tlie old
law was not rt-enacted; and the new law is
so carefully guarded that the claim-agerits
growl that it will Shut them - out-:front the
Treasury altogether.
In the second place it is assumed that the
tax on net earnings or incomes has been or
will be repealed, and that its repro]. will chit
off $400,00.0 from our yearly revenue: I
wish it were, indeed, true that this unjust
tax was likely to be repealed; but it has not
been, and, from present appearance, it is not'
likely to be. If, however, it were repealed,
inasmuch as it yielded only $240,000 last
year, the calculation of $400,000 loss from
this source must be reduced $160,000.
In the third place it is assumed that the
tax on personal estate will be repealed, ,and
that this will cut off $350,000 more front
our annual receipts. This, too, is a bold
assumption. No hill for that, purpose has
passed, and none of those pending propose
to repeal the tax for the current year. At
the utmost it can but take effect on the next
fiscal year, and the next. appropriation bill,
not the present. one, will have to look that
fact in the face. •
If, therefore, the tax on net earnings be
repealed, (which I do not think probable,)
the errors in theSe magnified reports of
threatened defidencies,,are $380,000 in pen
sions, $160,000 over-estimated in receipts
from net earnings, and $350,000 receipts
from personal tax, which no one proposes
to repeal for the current year. Total, $BOO,-
000; to which add $240,000, revenue from
net earnings, which are almost certain to
be realized, and you have $1,130,009 of a
mistake in the estimates.of the croakers.
The deficit for the current year figured out
by these financial Cassandra : is $384,000.
But, as I have shown, Their estimated re.ve
nue and expenses are $1,130,000 beyond the
mark; and if. from this you deduct 'their
$384,000, you find that the Treasury will
still have, at the end of the fiscal year, the,
balance of $746,000. -
The,estimates of appropriations, however,
upon which this deficit is figured out, is
based upon the Appropriation bill as It pass
ed the House to Which it was supposed the
Senate Would add $lOO,OOO- The Senate
has, however, reduced the School Appropri
atidn. $lOO,OOO, (from $600,000 to $500,000),
and the total of the bill is very little larger
than when it passed, the House. It is very
certain, also, that the revenues of the State
from its tax on National Bank stock, if pro
perly adjusted, will,exceed that of last year,
and that the revenues from other sources are
constantly and steadily increasing. By any
4air and un-prejudiced estimate, the balance
in thettieasury, on the Ist of next Decem
ber cannot be brought below $1,000,000.
The tax on personal estate is not likely to
in my opinion, .except upon
be repealed,
mortgages, and monies at intereat, and this
only from thebeginning of the next fiscal
year. If the tax . on net earnings is disturbed
at all, (as it most undoubtedly should be,)
it will not take effect during the current.
A bill has been reported which, if passed,
will reduce the amount applicable to the
yearly extinguishment of the State debt to
about one•mtli totiti'year, and add the bal
..
mace, say $750, 00 0 to the ordinary revenues
of the-State: It .has hem_ ascertained that
LetlMttbire' ^llitibtforbbideri- by the - C'on - -
stitution from doing this, ;was; thought
last winter, on a cursory examination of the
subject; and as we are 'progressing rapidly
enough in paying off a million of debt every
year, the State can thus without any decrc,es
ing volume of its ordinary revenues, afford
to give up the personal and net earnings
taxes. If this object is attained, all fears of
a deficit in the treasury may be abandoned,
even if unpopular and unjust taxation should
be given up.
The Legislature will notprobably adjourn
before the 10th or the 15th prox.
Tfie contested election case in the Senate
drags its slow length along, but is, for
tunately, drawing near its close. The argu
ment is set down for Thursday,
.and will
probably be conclnded then. The chief
witness on the stand,'' to-day, was a Catholic
priest from Clearfield, who testified that lie
gave five hundred dollars to the chief wit
ness for the contestant, through whom the
naturalization frauds were unearthed, to go
out of the United States and stay out until ,
the investigation was over; that he got the
money from a man named Gorman or O'Gor
man; and that he had had some cOrrespond
ence with Mr. Wallace looking to or con
templating the expatriation of this witness.
I believe, ,as thej result -proved, , this chief
witness did go out of the. United States and
took his five hundred dollars with him; but
somehow he found his way back again, and
the five hundred dollars was not only lost to
those -who contributed .it, -but the, moral
effect 'of his evidence was enhanced by
their anxiety to gerrid of it. • •
The testimony in this case will, when
published, constitute - a most - efficient cabv
paign political document. ALLEGHENY.

of the ScituateNational Bank was entered
by four men. He said his wife and son, the
latter twelve years of age, were awakened
and ,bound and nagged. The scoundrels .
had pistols and dirks. - and threatened to kill

they returned to the house, and having placed
a rope around, the neck of the cashier, led
him in his night clothes to the bank, and
forted him to unlock the vault. They
swept the entire contents of the 4ault into a
carpet bag. The plunder amounts to $25,000
value in specie, bills and United Stateslbonds,
with a thousand dollars of the. old State
Bank bills, which had been redeemed by
the National Bank.. They then returned the
cashier to the house, and after waiting a
while to-sec that all was secure, they left for
this city; to leave for Boston, as is supposed,
on the four • o'clock steamboat train. The
