Oof radical friend end cotemporary of
the Fotttville Miner1 Journal it decidedly
opposed to the running of itrcct cars, in
Philadelphia, on Sunday. At many of our
bett citiseni entertain different and conflict-
log view on (be subject, there ia nothing
eingular or objectionable In Mr. Bannan
expressing hit opinion! in opposition. But
when be undertake to tsy that the citizens
of Philadelphia should not be permitted to
Tote on this question, but should defer it to
the superior wisdom, virtue and intelligence
of the legislature, he places himself in I
rather equivocal position.
The editor cf the Journal is a strong ad
tocate of universal suffrage. He is iu favor
of permitting the most ignorant and de
graded of that unfortunate class of beings,
just released from bondage, to vote upon
questions that affect even our lives, our
liberty and property, and yet denies this
same right to the citizens of Philndelphia,
because, as he asserts, "the masses there have
not intelligence and virtue enough to act
right in the matter of Sunday passenger
railway travel."
Oar Philadelphia friends will, no doubt,
feel the effect of this compliment, if they
should even fail to comprehend the force of
its argument. The experience of the world
shows that even liberal and well disposed
men are prone to exercise a spirit of intoler
ance, on questions of religion and morals,
and run into excesses that sometimes border
on bigotry and oppression.
The United States is the only government
on earth where religious liberty is guarran
teed to all, by the constitution or funda
mental laws. In other countries, whether
Catholic or Protestant, some prominent
creed is recognized as the established reli
gion, though sometimes toleration is grant
ed to dissenters from the government reli
gion. Here we nave a constitutional provi
sion that "Congress shnll make no lnw ou
the subject of religion, or prohibit the free
exercise thereof." Even the absurd creed
of the Mormons is protected, except where it
comet in conflict with the laws and criminal
code, on the subject of Polygamy,

the Auditor's Report of the finances
Schuylkill county, we find that our neigh
bors have suffered themselves to be encum
bered with a heavy debt, which, not many
years since, would have been considered, in
point of size, a respectable debt for a small
State. The indebtedness and assets foot up
as follows :
INDEBTEDNESS.
Amount of bonds outstanding,
bearing 6 per cent, interest.
Amount due to township for
road taxes,
Amount due School District,

1.003 30
1,042 37
000,033 04
ASSETS.
Amount due by collectors, &c, 280,471 79
Total indebtedness, $380,101 85
Tlere is a debt of nearly f 400,000, the an
mal interest on which is over $23,000 pc
aanum. The debt of this county, after the
expenditure in building a new Court House,
at a cost of over $100,000, is now only
about $18,000, or less than the anuual in
terest of the Schuylkill county debt. This
debt the commissioners say will be paid
this year out of the six mills tax. The pco
pie of Northumberland county have, certain
ly, reasons to be proud of her financial con
dltion.
t5? TnE Democrats ic Congress have
no fixed principles but those of fillibustering
and clogging the wheels of Government
They profess to be the particular friends of
the South, and to abhor the doctrines
Stevens and the radicals. Yet they toted
with Stevens, against conservative measures
to impose greater restrictions on the South
Professing a disposition to let the rebel
off on the easiest terms, they to voted as ulti
tnatcly to bring upon them the hardest kind
of conditions and prevented the adoption o
the Senate amendment (Sherman's) to the
House Military Government bill (Mr. Ste
vens'). The House bill deprived the rebel
of the right of suffrage, while conferring it
nn the blacks. The Senate amendment,
while granting suffrage to the blacks, gave
it, also, to all the whites, simply enforcing
the third section of the Constitutions
Amendment, which deprives the Ligher
grade of rebels from holding office. The
Democrats voted in a body to exclude the
cbels from voting, and to prevent a speedy
ettleiuent of all the matters in dispute.

that he could not bo re-elected. On the

by a two-third vote over his veto. The pre
sumption is that the sececded States will
accept its provisions, notwithstanding the
President's bad example. Georgia and Vir

t3? Tub Pennsylvania Railroad. At
the late annual meeting of the etcckholders
in Philadelphia, Mr. Cuyler thus refers to
the operations of this great corporation :
"The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
was incorporated just twenty years ago,
with a capital of $13,000,000 to build a road
243 miles long. It has swollen, in tho
lines it owns and controls, from 243 miles
to more than 1,100. Though its stock was
begged from door to door, to a large extent
in individual subscriptions of humble men
who cave tbem in no expectation of
profit, for they anticipated none, but solely
for the public good yet this much abused
corporation has divided to its stockholders,
over and above six per cent, interest per
annum, forty-six per cent, of extra protit.
In addition to this, nut of its earnings, it
has paid more than $0,000,000 in reduction
of the original cost of its line of works ;
more than $1)00,000 upon the purchase of
its main line; nud has reduced the cost of
equipment upon its books from upwards of
$10,000,000 to a little more thun $3,0(10,OOU
making in the whole more than $14,000,000
paid out of its income towards its perms
nent work and equipments, beside dividing
fortv-six per cent, above six per cent, to its
stockholders. (Applause.) In addition to
all this, it carries from its income a contin
gent hind of $1,000,000, and a sinking tund
ot ?3,0U0,UU0 more."
Tho Adjouruiucut of the Thirty
Aiuth t'vngrcss.
Washington, March 4.
Never before has any Congress so quietly
and thoroughly finishuJ np its business as
has the Thirty-ninth, at twelve o'clock to
day. At the meeting at nine o'clock this
morning, there was nothing of any impor
tance left to be done, except to have the
bills already engrossed 6'igned in the presence
of both houses, and sent to the President
for bis signature, who was present in tho
reception room ot the Senate.
All bills were signed at 12 P. M., but the
Army Appropriation bill, and Wool Tariff
bill. These he had declined to approve,
and it was generally regarded that they
were lost. LI is time, however, differed
somewhat from thut of tho House, and at
the last moment he was prevailed upon to
sign the Woolen bill, although he had up
to 11.55 retused to sign it
His harmless protest against the clause
in the Army bill, which fixed Gen. Grant's
headquarters at Washington, wus sent by
Colouel Moore too lute to reach the House
before Speaker Colfax, in his eloquent
valedictory, hud announced the expiration
of the Thirty-ninth Congress. Both are
laws, as they were approved of during its
session, and are so recorded upon the journul
ot tlie House.
SPECTATORS.
At an early hour tho rules were suspended
to admit ladies upon the floor, and when
Mr. Colfax pronounced his farewell, at least
three thousand people were iu the galleries
and upon the floor, making oue of the timet
impressive scenes and finest audience, ever
witnessed in the Capitol. During Mr. Col
fax's address the whole assemblage! eagerly
listened to every word, and at time heartily
applauded.
ORGANIZATION OP THE FORTIETH CONGRESS'
No sooner had he finished thnn Mr. Mc
Pherson stepped to the Clerk's desk and
rapping hit mallet, announced his intention
to organize the Fortieth Congress. On call
ing the roll of States and members one bun
dred and fifty seven Representatives an
swered to their names, and, though Rcpre
tentative Brooks, of New York, tried to
enter a protest against the organization of
tho Fortieth Congress, an uct that even An
drew Johnson hud approved of; Mr. Wilson
of Iowa, moved to go into an elcctiou for
Speaker, when Messrs. Hanks, 1'aine, h
dridge and Bover, being appointed tellers,
the roll was called, and Mr. Colfax received
127 votes, among tbem two members
elected by the Democrats, Messrs. Stewart
11. J. Unyinond s successor, and Mr. liobiu
ton, from the Brooklyn district.
The Democrats held a caucus this morn
ing to decide whom they should vote for as
(Speaker. Mr. Marshall received eleven votes,
aud Mr. Brooks six. This was looked upon

Mr. Brooks from going on the Ways and
Means Committee, as it is generally expected
that the candidate of the opposition it to
go on me committee or Ways and Means
and it was to forestall Mr. Brooks thut Mr,
Wood got up this little affair. Ail, how
ever, acceded to the dictum of Fernando
Wood, and Mr. Marshull received thirty

And especially does this (and we disdain

A resolution was then offered, and passed,
authorizing the directors to consider the ex

ings about the same us the previous yeur,
The report states thut, owing to the in
creased length of line worked during a lnr
tion ot the yeur, a correct comparison ot the
receipts and expenditures thereof with those
ot last year cannot be accurately made. 1 here
has been a tailing oil ot f30(i,4'j 03 in I lie
receipts of the main line $80,871 20 less
than tho amount received the previous year
lor transportation ot troops. 1 he tonnagi
has increased largely, but the rates have de
creased. When a reduction in labor and
material can be made, to correspond with
he reduction of charges, the condition of tho
road and its equipments is such thut there
will be no ditliculty iu reducing tho work
ing expenses below CO per ceut. of the earn
ings.
Reference is made to the rapidity with
which the iron rails wear out they only lust
ing now four years causing nn expenditure
in maintaining the road which tell severely
upon the working expenses. The increased
speed of the passenger trains, and the increase
in weight of the engines, and the increased
tonnage, may account for this fact. The
mortgage of $130,000 due on tho first of Oc
tober, loGO, was paid and the bonds destroy
ed. To meet tho mortgages paid to the city
nt Baltimore and for the purpose of purchas
ing additional equipments required, a ne
mortgage of $2,000,000 was created, an
$724,000 of the bonds sold. An arrange
ment was lately entered into between tho
Pennsylvania railroad company and the
bourdh by which the Elmira and William
sport, and the leased lines north of that road,
are to be worked for tho joint benefit of
both companies the former company di
viding with this company any loss or gain
that may arise out of tho lease by this com
pany of those roads. During the year fivo
engines, two tirst class passenger and 180
freight cars have been added' to the equip
ment, at a cost of $278,217 30. Some addi
tional coal cars will be required during this
year.
The number of passengers transported
over the main road aud brunches is 883,000,
traveling an aggregate distance of 20,331,
028 miles. The total amount of freight
moved was 2,073,730 tons, an increase of
315,003 tont over the preceding year. Of
the above freight, there wat 930,180 tons of
coal, an increase over the previous year of
232,870 tons carried over the following
roads ; Northern Central, 803.189; Shamo
kin Valley and Pnttsville, 557,000, and the
Elmira and Williamsport, 09.000. In addi
tion there were also transported S0.400 tons
for the immediate use of the Company.
There hat been a slight falling off iu coal
carried to Baltimore. Any considerable in
crease to the through coal business, cannot,
the report ttatea, be expected until a suita
ble outlet to tide-water is obtained.
The Board at the last annual meeting was
authorized to negotiate with the Columbia
and Port Deposit railway company. To
some extent there have been negotiations,
and there it now a strong probability that
that rotd will be commenced at an early day
and pushed forward to completion. The
local tonnage of the Shainokin division wat
657,000 tont, an increase of 103,000, and of
the Elmira division 00,000, and increase of

REl'ORT Or TIIE JUDICIARY COVMITTXB Olf
TUE IMPEACHMENT OF THE PRESIDENT
VIEWS or THE MAJORITY AKD TUB MINORI
TY. Washington, March 8. Representative
Wilson, of Iowa, late last night, made the
following report :
The Committee on the Judiciary, charged
by the House with the examination ot cer
tain allegations or high crimes and misde
meanors against the President of the United
States, submit tho following report :
Un tlie seventh day of January, 1807, tho
House, on motion of Hon. James M. Ashley,
liepresentativo ironi the State of Ohio,
adopted the following preamble and resolu
tion, to wit :
I do impeach Andrew Johnson, VicePres
ident and acting President of the United
States, of high crimes and misdemeanors,
etc.
Here follow the specifications and the
resolution adopted on that occasion.
1 he duty imposed on the committee by
this action ot tho House was of the highest
and gravest character. No committee dur
ing the entire history of the Government
nave ever been charged with a more import
ant trust. The responsibility which is ini
posed wat of the most unpleasant nature.
Uludly would the committee have escaped
from the arduous labors imposed on it by
the rcHolutiun of the House; but once im
posed, prompt, deliberate and faithful action
with a view to correct results, became Us
duty, and to thit end U directed its efforts.
boon after the adoption of the resolution
by the House, the Hon. James M. Ashley
communicated to the committee, in support
ot ins charge against the f resident ot the
United btates, such facts as were in hit pos
session, and the investigation was proceeded
with, und has been continued almost without
day s interruption. A large number o
witnesses have been examined, many docu
nicnts collected, and everything done which
could be done to reach a conclusion ot tho
case, but the investigation covers a broad
Held, embraces many novel and interesting
and important questions, and involves a
multitude of fuc.s, while most of the wit
nesses are distant from the capital, owing to
which the committee, in view ot the magni
tude of the interests involved in its action,
has not been able to conclude its labors, and
is not, therelore, prepared to submit a
definite and final report.
If the investigation had even approached
completeness, tho committee would not feel
authorized to present the result to the House
at this late period of tho session, unless the
charges had been so entirely negatived as to
admit of no discussion, which, in the opin
ion of the committee, is not the case.
Certainly no ultirmativo repoit could bo pro
perly considered in the expiring Houses of
this Congress. The committee not having
fully investigated all the charges aguinst
the President of the United States, it is
deemed inexpedient to submit any conclu
sions beyond the statement that sufficient
testimony has been brought to its notice to
justify and demand a further prosecution of
the investigation.
Tho testiuiouy which the committee 1ms
taken will pass into tho custody of the clerk
of tho House, aud can go into the lumiit of
such committee as may be charged with tho
duty of bringing this investigation to a
close, so that the labor expended upon it
muv not ha.-c been in vaiu.
Tho committee regrets its inability defi
nitely to dispose of liie important subject
committed to its churge, uud present this
report for its own justification and for the
additional purpose of notifying tlie succeed
ing Congress of the incompleteuess of its
labors aud thut they should be completed.

Thomas Williams,
tub minority report.
Representative A. J. Rogers, ono of tho
Committee ou the Judiciary, dissents from
his colleagues, saying the committee refuses
to allow a report to bo made giving tho evi
dence to tho House at the time, upon grounds
which are no doubt salisluctory to them
selves. Therefore he could not report the
evidence upon which bisconclusiou is based,
which he would gludly do, did the commit
tee deem it expedient.
The examination of witnesses and the
records wus commenced, as appeared by the
majority report, about tlie time of the refer
ence, to wit: On the 17th day of Junuary,
1807, and continued daily.
A large number of witnesses has been ex
amined, aud everything done thut could be
to bring the case to a close, as appears by
the conclusion that sufficient testimony lias
been brought to its notice to justify aud de
mand a further prosecution of the investiga
tion. I have carefully examined all the
evidence in the case and do report that there
is not one particle of evidence to sustain any
of the charges which the House charged the
committee to investigate ; that the case is
wholly without a particle of evidence upon
which impeachment could be founded ; and
that with all the effort that has been made,
and the mass of evidence that hat been taken,
the case is entirely bald ol proof.
He furthermore repoitsthat tho most of
the testimony that has been taken is of a
secondary character, aud such aa would not
be admitted in a court of justice. In view
of this conclusion he can see no good iu a
continuation of the investigation. He it
convinced that all the proof that could be
produced has been before the committee, at
no paint have been spared to give the case
a full investigation. Why, then, keep the
country ia a feverish state of excitement
upon the question any longer, at it it sure to
end, in his opinion, in a complete vindica
tion of the President, if justice be done to
him by tho committee, ot which bo hat do
doubt!
