faitlafttlly represented on the floor of Con
gresEf _yesterday by Ambassador; BURLIN
GAME and his almond-eyed colleagues. The
Celestial Chief otthe embassy, owing to the
iufortunate prejudices of his early Yankee
education, could no compete with his as
sociated mandarians in the longitude or
plaiting of his • queue, but his speech was
'fully up to the most ornate style in vogue a
the country of Pekin, or even on the floor
of our Congress. ,
THE monthly statemeut of the public debt
shows an increase, during May, of ten mil
lions of dollars, owittg chieflY,, to the heavy
payments made for - interest. The total,
nevertheless, as now reported, is about nine
and half millions less than on the Ist of
March, although the intervening period has
not been one of large imports or of any
marked activity in the general businem of
the country._ • The honest and efficient col
lection of the whisky tax would have en
sured a still greater steady reduction in the
total of debt.

misty reference to the convivialities'ef a din

the Committee, who retain the President's

- •IThe resignation of Commissioner Rot.-
Lies, of the Internal Revenue Buck!, will
be attributed in some quarters to *section
of the louse in refusing to appiove the
proposition'which 'was embodied pi the new
tax bill, for' a thorough reorganization of
that service. it has been well known for
months that the Wick *ltch Mr. itoLuics
would have enforced upon his subrirdinates
has not received a hearty support from the
President, and that the latter has frkuently
intimated his intention to remove the Com
missioner. The public rumors which have
so freely connected Mr. JonssoN Svith the
operations of the powerful _comhination
known at the Capital as the "whisky ring,"
have never, to the slightest eittenti includ
ed., the Commissioner in their disOeditable
imputations. His official 'record has been
accepted as entirely clear, both by Con
gressmen, the , press and the public, and
none of the responsibility for - th4 shameful
failures to enforce existing legislation had,
at any time, or by any of the opponents of
the system, been laid personally at his door.
An abortive attempt, a year since, to trans
fer the burthen of public odium for these
failures from a higher quarter upon his
shoulders, recoiled instantly upon its' insti
gators, and since then, as well as before,
amid all the rank corruptions which mar
more than one department - of the Fede
government, Mr. RoLues' naive has stood'
almost alone, untarnished by the faintest
cloud of suspicion. The necessity, spring
ing from whatever cause, which now drives
this faithful officer, from the pnblic service ,
is to be deplorbd, and, if 'it could have been:
avoided through the prorwr cooperation of
Congress, is to be regarded rather as a pub
lic, calamity. • • 1
The proposition of Mr. Scistecs,i to
which we have alluded, embodied the v ry
strong conviction of many members that ne
honest and effective collection of the inter
nal revenue could be ensured until the per
sonnel of the Bureau were radically and en
tirely revised, and that no efforts , of Con
gress to this end stand any cliance of sue=
cess so long as the power of appointment and
removal remains within the arbitrary plea
sure of the It was. therefore,
contemplated to erect the tureen into an!
independent department, reserving to Con
gress the power to retain its head and to
this head the appointing power to be exclu
sively committed. j This, it was , naturally
supposed, would nut off the suhterranesaii
pipe which, according to universal public!
belief, connects the worm of this Whisky
ring with (not to strain - the metaphor too
mueh) the still at the White House, and
would restore, under the energetic and
faithful control of • incorruptible officers,
an honest and successful collection of the
large revenue justly due to the Treasury.
But the idea has been found impracticable.
A very grave doubt exists as to the power of
tho House to interfere so directly with the
prerogative of appointment vested by the
Constitution in the Executive head of the .
nation, and this doubt had conclusive force
with many influential representives.
Those provisions of the new bill
were accordingly dispensed with, members
considering it better that the country should
submit to a continuance of the flagrant cor
ruptions which the failure of impeachment
leaves still in power, rather than to trespass
Upon a clear constitutional right of the .
President.'
~This is a confession that the
recent action of the, Senate leaves the
treasury still at the mercy of the repacions
gang who, with official connivance in a
high quarter are enriching themselves with
almost incredible succees, in defiance of the
law, but the House is clear of all responsi
bility for the shame. It will, however,
aim at the same object, the disorganization
of the vile coalition which has been found
too powerful to be' broken up hitherto, by
t someother means more clearly within the
admitted powers of Congress. .
We have no doubt that the Commission
er's resignation now is due to this action of
the House, on that question of appointments.'
Mr. RoLues is not personally disposed to
protract the hopeless controversy -with a
higher power, which - has thus far rendered
his best efforts to protect the public interests
nugatory. ,He retiree, jeaiing the Presi
dent at _liberty to replace him with some
more supple and aeCommtodating supporter
c,,f his own peculiar policy. This retirement
is, nevertheless, to be highly regretted,
since the official integrity, which Mr. Rot
laws has faithfully illustrated,' was already
quite too rare at Washington, and will be
still more rare hereafter.

another column:' will' be observed that
it embraces many of the leading and repre
sentatiye members of the party, a fact which
goes to show how much care was taken in
its formation by the gentlemen having the
matter in charge. This auxiliary to the
party has too frequentlyteen used to glorify
individuals, giving them himoi and promi
nence and exacting no corresponding labor
from them, but, in the present instance.
those accepting the position are expected to
do earnest, zealous work, and to at once
enter into the drudgery of the campaign
with a •will and deterMination to accom
plish great results through their personal
efforts and endeavors. Let no laggard ac

PIT TSB.URG.~, OAETTE' WEDNESDA', W 1 iO, 1869.
i GREECE FOR _TIIEVREERR,
It is announced that the Greek govern
ment has virtually recognized Crete ai a
part of its dominlons, by receiving a depu
tation from its people. It does not appear
that this tiictitas assumed a diplomatic char
acter of such marked formality as to clothe
it with the dignified proportions of a cams
beili, justifying Turkey, which at'present .
claims sovereignty over the island, in hos
tilities against the intervening poNier, but
such, nevertheless, is likely. to l be the case..
The Greeks have constantly Saserted their
sympathies with the Islanders, who have
the same language, the same religion and
profess the same nationality, and the gov
erninent at Athens has manifested this sym
pathy deci4dly and in every way, except
by direct aid in arms. liuring the Struggle
between the Turks and the insurgent Cr,.
tans, the Greeks have barely, preserved a.
paper neutrality,' effectively aidirig the Is
landers by contributtons of inen,' money
and provisions, and' even erabarkitig the.
refugees from the Moslem rule under her
own flag and upon her own public ships.
It has been understood for months•that her
more direct and public intervention in the
affairs of. Crete has only been restrained by
the influence of the great . powers of West
ern Europe, which foresaw, in such an act,
new and dangerous complications of that
Eastern question which concerns rather the
independent existence of Turkey than the
independence of the revolted Province. If
the crisis, so long postponed, shall at last
have been precipitated by this recognition
of the Cretan deputations, its' solution will
be speedy and decisive, in the interests of
the peace which it hazards, or Russia and
the Western powers will become entangled
An a grand European war.
WHO IS HE!
It was sttted in debate, on Monday, on
the floor of the House, that proof existed to
show that a Judge in a Federal CoUrt had
united with his District Attorney to levy
black-mail upon sonic sixty persons ar
raigned for offenses against the revenue
laws, the Judge and Attorney letting them
off easy and , dividing the profits. When
Gen. Scnivicg added, to this statement, an
expression of his hope that the Judge might
yet be impeached, he exhibited a degree of
abiding confidence in the Senate which is
really. refreshing. Certainly, impeach that
Judge, by all _means, and see what will
come of it. His name will speedily trans-.
Rire, for Gen. SCHENCK would not make
this extraordinary statement without due
authtriO, and the-corruption which he has
charged is too flagrant in its nature to pass
without an invtstigation. When this un-.
known Judge shall be exposed and ar
raigned for trial, it may help his case if he
pleads that all Judges are but human,
and that a still higher functionary has per
verted justice for a consideration. One man
is covetous and another ambitious, ambitious, but
the demand of each is merin his own way
and the transaction is consummated, the
corruptions differing only in kind, not in
de; Tee.,
IF SENATOR MORTON'R proposition, to
engraft upon the pending Omnibus bill
the provisional features of the Spalding bill
in relation to Alabama, be adopted by the
Senate„ many of the difficulties now appa
rent to Republican 'Senators will be ob
viated. It is doubtful if the bill, in its
present shape, can command the support of
two-thirds of the Senate, and there is the
consequent danger that the final restoration
of the fiv9States , may be postponed in ac-.
cordance with the President's wish. Bat
the of these provisional gov
ernments until the conditions imposed by
Congress shall all have_begp fulfilled, will
iminediately relieve the people of these
States from military control, 'committing
their affairs to the charge of their own
elected officers, and 'ensuring a 'speedy
compliance with the conditions now im
posed.
There is an apprenension in some quar
ters that the public expectations, in the
early settlement of the reconstruct:on ques
tion in the South, are to meet with a sharp
disappointment by the failure of the pend
ing bills to secure the necessary majorities
in each House. But these fears are not
wholly instilled. The omnibus bill will
hang in the Senate and between the two
Houses until next week, when the Arkan
sas Senators will cotie in, and Colorado
will follow as soon as the necessary bill
can go through the forms of legislation.
Even without the aid of these new Senators,
it is believed that the present bills .will be
come law, but, with the four Senators from
the States specified, their ultimate enact
merit is certain.
A NEW TQRE journal prints a "private"
letter from Chief Justice CEASE, in which,
disclaiming as usual any personal amhitibn,
he expresses the gratification which he will
feel in the success of the present attempt to
,commit the Democracy to the principle of
universal suffrage. .He also reiterates his
devotionitn his old creed of , equal rights.
The letter' dds nothing to his strength as a
candidate for the Democratic nomination,
being little more than a repetition of the
opinions heretofore known to be held by
him on that particular question. His refer-
ence, however, to that principle which is
"established in eight, and to be established
in all of the , Southern Constitutions," is a
signilicient admonition to the Democracy, of
the partizan benefits .to accrue to them by
accepting it and endorsing it at New York.
The Chief Justice is beginning tobe under
stood as an original and consistent Demo
nrat, on all points excepting that of the suf
frage, and upon this the party .is in a fair

suffrage has been a monster most formidable
to them, but current events, and the devel
opments of three weeks more, will lubricate'
it so well that it will slip down the Demo
cratic gullet with scarcely a gulp.

We have received from our_ Repreeenta

Tariff!' Bill which he presented to the Com
mittee of Ways and Means, action upop
which was postponed by the Committee
until next session:
Gen. MoonwEAD also writes us as follows:
I know of no' more important duty
that membeis of Congress could per
form, even during the heated term, than
to remain here and pass this bill, or one
of similar import. Its passage would
relieve the suffering and depressed condition
of:affairs in the manufacturing districts,
would give employment to honest labor,
would tend to abridge our exports and im
ports, . thereby enabling us to retain our
gold and silver at home, and thus hasten
the return to specie payments. -
I hope however, that before Congress ad
jiiurns a bill•relieving a few important and
depressed interests will be passed.

BOARD OF CONTROL
Special Meeting—The Seventh Ward Se
cedes—An Independent District.
A special meeting of the Board of School
Controllers, of Allegheny County, was held
in the Ccimmon Council Chamber, • on
Thursday evening the 9th inst. The meet
ing was called to order, and opened with
prayer, by the President, Rev. - J. B. Clark.
Members present. Messrs. Barr, Brown,
K.,, Barker,Beckert, Dunlap, Francis,
(froward, Kollock, Loomis, Lea, Lockhart,
Mussler. Tremble, Swift, White, Young,
Alox'r., and Rev. J. B. Clark.
The Secretary, at the request of the
Chairman, stated the ebject of the meeting,
as follows : A member of the School Board
of the Seventh ward had served upon him
an official order from the Court of Quarter
Sessions of Allegheny county, setting forth
that the Seventh ward, Aliegheny and Re
serve township had been constituted an in
dependent School district, and he deemed
it advisable that a meeting be held to have
an expression relative to the matter.
Mr. Alex. Young wished to know by
what authority , the Courts interfered in the
matter, and was Of the opinion that,,there
was no law authoriiing it. • 1
The President said he supposed the "Court
know herself," and as the order had been
made, he supposed there was law for it.
Mr. Kol4bel Oferred to. the. school law,
and read I,:ifteatioti'vilkich provides for the
establish • *dependent districts.
A mem ,t • . 'that the law did not apply
in this case; •thiit a portion of Reserve
township had beau consolidated with the
city by act of Assembly and wa.s.s part of
it as much as any ;other ward in the city,
and ho'did not think that the Courts had a
right to undo what the Legislature had
done. He thought It would be advisable
to employ an attorney and have the matter
investigated.
A gentleman asked that the order be,
read. • •
Mr. Frances read the order which set
forth that upon the petition of twenty citi
-1 zens of the district, presented at March sea
-1 sions, 1868, a commission • had .been •
pointed to investigate and inquire into the
propriety of creating the Seventh ward
and'Reserve township into au 'independent
district, and that the said commission hav!-
ing reported favorably thereto, and there
being no exceptions flied to the report it
was confirmed and the order made.'
It appears from the statements of the
Board that the matter was "snaked"
through, as now of the officers or members
had received notice of the proceedings or
known that such a petition had been -pre
-
senied. _
lr. Brown thought the thanks of the
Bo rd were due to the Court for, rending
them of the Seventh ward.
A member thought if one district was
allowed to secede othen would also claim
the privilege. - _ •
Mr. Brown ebbmitted the lollowing res
olution : •
Beaolved, That the Seventh. ward of this
city in conneotlon with Reserve township,.
having been consolidated as an independ
ent School District, by the Court of Quer=
ter Sessions. Therefore, it is the sense of
this Board that it is not - advisable for our
Receiver to receive the school tax of said
ward in the name of this Board, and. the
Secretary is authorized-to draw a red line
over the schbol tax of the Seventh ward.
The resolution was adopted, after which
the meeting , cuijourned.

SCIENCE ADVANCES
As soon as an article purporting to be of utility
has been tested, and its merits endorsed by pUblic
opinion, unprincipled parties endeavor to replenish
their depleted purses by counterfeiting, and substi
.,
tuting a spurious for the genuine_ article. • Some .
time since, mercury. in the disguise of pills, pow
ders, de., was,given for all diseasge of the stomach
and liver, while gulp ine was friely adniiniatcred for
the chills. At length 110STETTEB'S STOMACH
REgtERS made its advent, and fan entire new Sys
tem of healing via, tuaugurated. The beppAttil:ef•
feet& of this valuable preparation were at 'cane; ac-
knowledgedinnd mineral poisons suffered to sink-
into that.gbsenrity to,which an enlighterted ageint*

trial, have been found, 'perfectly worthleas,-,:while.:

who owe to it their restinatibn to health and

that It can be relied upon as a certain rellefsuad

preparation after years of careful study and sitting,
and are now reaping the reward claimed 'by 'this
valuable specific, and which they so richly merit.

ADVICE TO _CONSUMPTIVES.
. .
DR. KEYSER says; "You want air, not physic;
you want pure air, not medicated air; you want
plenty of nutrition, such as plenty of meat and
bread will gtve; physic has no nutriment; gasping
for air cannot eure you; monkey c;pers li a gymna
sium cannot eurc vou; and Baum nts cannot cure
you. If you want to get well, go in for BEEF AND
017 T-DOOR ATE."..—RepEAUF,
He says further Don't put off the first symptoms.
"A little leak may sink a great shlin" , a small sore .
lu the throat; lonia or , liver will soon involve the
:whole body; :How often do we see people put off for
the beginning could have been
a re y m e c a d r l o e r w d t fo;st " .tri t l: n e. The Doctor's advice Is, and
;always has been, attend to , the first symptoms of
disease. Do,not let the .conititutlon. become a
wreck before 'you begin to mend; if you do, ten to
one there will be no remedy: Them is a remedy lbr
every disease if taken in time. A slight sore throat
oc coug h maybe removed with comparatively little
trouble; but a constitution, sinking and .breakint
to pleie. Or allowing these little trOubles to lieell•
mutate is not so easy. Dr. Keyser' s mode of lank
sounding Is unique, and as thoroughtas it is unique.
There is not a spit or space over the whole surfie.e
orthe lungs that he does not stand and Investigate,
and, by so doing Is enabled to supply the appropriate
