The removal of Hon. J. W. Doug lass, Commissioner of Internal Rev enue, appears to have been as much of a surprise to' that gentleman as it was to the country at large. Mr. Douglass Las been assured by the Secretary of the Treasury that bis resignation was not desired because of any imputations affecting Lis per sonal or official integrity. It it as Fumed, therefore, that some political object is to be accomplished by the movement. Ex-U. S.

Las-t week the Pennsylvania Rail road Company declared a temi-an-nual dividend of four, instead of the usual five per cant., and a tumble ia the value of the stock or that compa ny immediately followed. We ob serve that all the Philadelphia papers are laboring bard to prove that it was Fimply as a mostrr stroke of policy, and not from lack of means that the dividend was this year reduced, j bile it is very good policy not to pay out more inoney than you have got, yet f: is net good policy to as-! sign a false reason for a compulsory act. The naked truth it that ia its 'efforts to crush the Baltimore & Ohio ! road by a ruinous reduction of rates, the Pennsylvania road has so crip pled it own resources that it bad to pay its stockholders a reduced divi dend, llcnre the milk in toe cocoa nut. Reliable data of the amount of gold bullion derived frem the celc- bratcd Comstock Lode in Nevada has lately been obtained by the au Kt critics at Washington. Ia obedi CQce to instructions Professor Sthir nier, of tbc Denver Mint, visited Vir- j ginia City ia March last, and after a iiuoroun examination estimates inai 1.1 l tte probable productioaof the Com stock Lode for 1ST5 will be $35,000,- 000, and for 1S7C $50,000,000 The yield of the California and Consolidated Virginia mines, alone, according to Prof. Schirmer's esti mate, wiil be at the rate of $3,000,' 000 per month, as soon as the addi tiocal millioe canacitv. now in the course of erection, shall be complet ed. The Belcher, Crown Point, and Consolidated Virginia, the three great mines of the Comstock Lode, bave yielded during the forty -eight months ending March 31, ISIrV, $50,233,470. Prof. Schirmer's estimates of the yield of the Comstock lode will in crease the annual bullion product of the United States for this year to $35,000,000, and for the next year to $100,000,000. The bullion yielded by the Comstock is known to com merce aa "dore silver," or silver con taining tufScient gold to defray the expense of separating the metals. Its average weight is abeut Dioc-tentba, and its value about sixty per cent, sil ver. The weight of the bullion to be dissolved in acid in order to sepa rate the two metals will be about ' , , ' ., same about 3,000 tons of acid. , ' .. ....

The Philadelphia correspondent of tbe New York Tribune, writing con cerning tbe political situation in Pcoa slyvania, with especial reference to tbe fall election, concedes that Gen eral ITartranft will be the only candi date for Governor before the Repub lican State Convention which meets at Lancaster on the 2Ctb inst He further conceds that Governor Hart raaft Las not only lived down tbe slanders that were set afloat against bim when first nominated for the dis tinguished position he now holds, bat that be discharges tbe onerous duties f his office with integrity, energy, intelligence and dignity. All which is eminently true and complimentary to tbe intelligence of the Tribune's corretpondent. If a candidate less strong in the affections and respect cf the citizens ot Pennsylvania than General Hart- ranft were put torward by the Lan caster convention to contest the Geld with the Democratic nominee for Governor, it is possible that the oppo sition might be respectable, or even formidable. But the advantages ttr the Republican party of nominating General nartranft will be to paralyze the opposition and to record an over whelming victory, which will be of ioestimable benefit to tbe party ia the more important contest of 1S7C, Governor, Hartrauft has adminis tered the affairs of Lis great office so honestly, wisely and well as to have made tbe call for his re-election to be more than a mere party one. In fact, party lines will be largely broken down at the fall election, for it is not only tbe Republicans, but the people, without party distinction, who de mand that Governor Hartraaft shall be LU own successor. Every citizen having an interest in good govern ment is concerned that tbe govern ment of Hartranft shall Le continued. Cbaagea are not always desirable, and there could be no greater folly than to make a change whHi would place an untried man In the place cf one who Las been fully tried, and whose work Las been, in every aecse eminently 8ati9f.ctorr.

Pi adelphia Inquirer. A Terrible Mntl7 at Sen. London, May 9. Further particu lars of the mutiny on the schooner Jefferson Borden show that it began on the 20th of April, when the ves sel was a thousand miles from Eng land, the leader was a seaman named Miller, a native of Tinland. He called the captain at midnight, saving a man had broken bis leg. This mi a rnar In rrpt the CROtaia On 'deck unprepared, but when be got there be was well armea ana oegaa tcriindine it impossible to o t . the npper band, retired to the deck house, in which they were nailed op by the captain and steward. Forty shots were fired at tho mutineers before they surrendered. It was thirty hours from the beginning o the outbreak beture tho last man surrendered. Tho captain had bis wife oa board. Miller, the ringleader of the mutiny, was p?ticcd ia irons for misconduct just after the schooner Failed from New Orleans. He after wards apologized for his conduct. He confesses that he killed the Crst mate. On the arrival of the schooner Jefferson Borden at her dock to-day she wa3 boarded, and full details of J the mutiny were obtained. It seems that an American sailor namca Smith struck the first blows. He knocked down and killed the second mate, who was in charge of the watch. lie then awakened the first mate. As the latter came out of the cabin he was felled by Miller and thrown overboard. All this time their captain, Patterson, was asleep. He was aroused by Miller, who shouted down the gangway that a man bad broken his leg. Looking around be observed that the bunks of the mates were empty, suspecting mischief he armed himself with re- j volvera and went on deck, no , was immediately assailed by the mutineers with missies, lie opened fire and they retreated, and finely took refuge in the deck bouse, where he besieged tnem an enure aay. ne emptied bis revolvers on tbem re peatedly through' the window, but they refused to surrenuer unm uiguw Miller, after receiving Cve bullets in bis leers and two in the body, at length offered to yield with bis com panions, and all were secureu. The English sailor, whose name is lew. received two bullets beneath the ribs, and will probably die. Smith was wounded in the wrist and Ehoulder. lie was chained to the pump aad suffers severely from ague, contracted irom exposure. The captain, steward, boy and one sailor worked the snip seven days before assistance was obtained from passing vessels. The Crst mate was the captain's brother, and the second mate his cousin, lhcmutinee.rs as sert their only object was revenge, for ill treatment. The rest of the crew deny that the men bad been ill-treated, and Captain Patterson declares tbey intended to palndcr tbc vessel. A Valuable Moutnfnl. Yesterday morning, Edward Wat son, a burglar and sharper, whose picture adorns the Rogues' Gallery at Tolice Head-quarters, accompa nied by John U. Ranfit, a man un known to the police,entered the store of Barmore & Co., dealers in dia monds and fine jewelry, at the corner of Maiden lane and Nassau street. Under the pretense that they desire! to make purchases, they induced one of the salesmen to show them a tray containing a number of diamond rings. While the men where exam ining the goods the salesman missed a solitaire diamond of fine quality, weighing 3 carats, set in a Ekelcton setting, and at once Euspecting the character of his pretended customers, charged them with the theft of the ring which was valued at $1,000. Of course they indignantly denied the accusation, but the salesman, sat isfied that one of tbe men bad stolen tbe valuable jewel, detained them and sent for Patrolman Terry. On tbe appearance of the policeman Ranfit demanded that he be searched, and the diamond was not found in his possession. Watsoa refused to submit to a search ia the store, say ing that be would have to undergo tbe same ordeal at the station-house, and one search was sufficient. . The men were then placed in custody, and Officer Terry started with tbeci for the New Street Police station. While on the way to, the station house Watson 6uddenly put bis handkerchief to his mouth and was noticed to gulp a) though swallowing something. Whatever it was it cost bim a great effort to swallow it, al most choking bim. His face turned red and tears came into bis eyes. There is scarcely a doubt that what Weston swallowed, was the ring which be had purloined from the store, as a thorough search of his person and clothing at the station bouse failed to reveal its uresenec. The prisoners were arraigned,. before Justice Sherwood at the Tombs Po lice Court where a charge of grand larceny was preferred against them, and they wtre cemmitted for examin ation in default of $2,500 bail each.

Plymouth Mass., May 7. Wil liam E. Sturtevant, the triplo mur derer, was hanged this morning, in the county jail yard. To the last moment tbe doomed man maintained the composure and stolidity, which bad characterized bim threoghut, and was apparently unmoved by any conception of the possible bor refs of the fature. The arrangements for the execution were perfect, and from a professional point of view it was a complete j suecess.! The' old style of scaffuld, with its platform and drop, was discarded 1n this case, aad the more modern arrangement . of pulleys aad n eights was adopted, by which the body is jerked into the afrby the momentum of a falling weight attached to the other ead of the rope. This wrs the Crst occasion oa which this instrument, bad ever been used in this State. , ! A large number of Sheriffs of differ ent counties of tho State were ia at tendance, with a view of witnessing the experiment Tbe prisoner took a farewell leave of bis wife and chil dren last evening, since .which time he has seen no one but prison officials. He retired about half-past 9 o'clock, and slept soundly and undisturbed until G o'clock this morning. Owing to tbe expressed determination to take his own life, a double guard has been pal over bim, and . bis s every movemeni was under the strictest surveillance. At half-past 6 o'clock he breakfasted with as much appa rent zeat as though preparing for a mere pleasure trip. He conversed but little, arrayed himself in a plain black suit carefully, brushed hid hair and at S o'clock bad the air; of one all ready and waiting. The B.cr. Edward Hathaway, prison chaplain, was with bim, but to all bis efforts to turn bis attention to tbe subject of moral accountability,, repentance - or spiritual salvation, he made tbe same replv, "lou know nothing more tnan I what remains in the future. At 9 o'clock tho reporters and a few others were admitted to tbo corridor of the jail, and Sturtevant was led out to listen to the last services of tbo chanlain. He seated himself j directly in front, tilted back bis chair, i and with one hand partially support ling bis head, submitted to the ser vice more as a necessary lngreuient of the execution than something in- tended in niercy and kindness for him farewell with deep emotion. He alluded to tho fact oi their irreconcil able difference on religions topics, and omitted any special exhortation. After reading Scriptures and prayer Mr. Hathaway addressed tho prisoner in general terns. While feeling al- lusioa was made to Lis wife and children, Boon to be a widow and orphans, not tbo slightest emotion was visible. , His countenance defied scrutiny. At ten minutes of 10 o'clock all but the prison officials were excluded and final preparation was made. Tho prisoner's arms and wrists were pinioned with strong leather straps aad the black cap was placed upon Lis bead, bnt not drawn down over the face however. Promptly at ten o'clock Sturtevant was led out to tbe scaffold, .walking with a firm step tbe fifty feetor more that separated biui from death. Stepping upon the flatform, which was but a few inches from the ground, be faced th crowd still without emo tion. As the noose-was placed over his bead be moved it to one side, as if anxious to expedite - the business. The Sheriff's assistants quickly ar ranged the prisoner, and to the in quiry whether he desired to say any thing, the prisoaer pleasantly replied: ". -"NOTHING VUATEVER." f : The Sheriff then read the warrant, and shaking hands with tbe prisoner, commended bim to a merciful , Sav iour. ' Straps were then placed about his ankles and knees, the cap drawn down, and instantly the Sheriff touch ed tbe spring and the murderer was in a twinkle pulled into the air. The body was jerked up about five feet. Tbe neck was not broken and death ensued from strangulation. . Sturtevant was convicted of mur dering Thomas and Simon Sturte vant and Mary Buckley, an aged domestic, on the 15th of February, 1 814r after a long trial, ia which cir cumstantial evidence played the most important part. I he murdered mca were relatives of the condemed, who killed them to obtaia a large amount ofmoney they possessed. The wo man was followed through the fields and beaten to death. The triple tragedy was one of the bloodiest in the anuals of crime. Deaperate llnrataater with a Robber. A most daring aad desperate at tempt was made yesterday morning to rob ao express car oa tbe Pitts burgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad. Tbe train was the Pacific express, eastward bound. Tbc point at which the robber attempted to carry out his purpose was somewhere between Forest and Lima. The ex press car was ia charge of Messen ger Price. About three o'clock Price was surprised by the appearance of a man at tbc rear end of his car, who summoned him to rurrender, and at the same instant fired on bim with a revolver. Two shots were fired by the intruder in rapid succession. One ball passed tbreugh tbe arm aud cheek, of the messenger. The .latter immediately retreated to the front of bis car, seized his revolver and re turned the fire with an aim bo precise and stea'dy that his ball took effect ia the forebead'of bis assailant, t killing bim instantly. : ;. ! a The would-be-robber- for such Ito undoubtedly was gained admission to the car by sawing a panael out of tue door, lie was closely, masked, and had a rope hanging on bis arm with a noose at tbe end and a ' coup ling block in Lis Land. Vrhe rope wa3 a portion of the bcH-cord tut from the surplus at the rear of the car..-Ho had. evidently 'expected to surprise the messenger while asleep and tie bim, but finding bim a the alert, resolved to murder bim ia or der to carry cut hU purpose of rob bery. . I ;: " ..- ; After the shooting tbe :messeneer rang tbe bell and stopped the train, wnon several porters on the f-Wpmg cars acd breakmen, wh had Lard the reports of tbe pistols, ran forward. It was with great difficulty, however, that Messenger Price-was persuaded to open bis car, as be feared tLe rob ber bad accomplices on tho train. Tbe car was finally opened and a hasty examination made, when tbe train came oa to Crestline,' where the dead robber was unmasked and looad to be Hiram C. Biackley," of Fort Wayne. He was formerly a freight conducter oo the road, but was discharged last week, having been detected in the act of stealing goods from a train which had ' been wrecked. An examination of the car showed that a panel had been - cut .... . . cut out of the door of tbe rear part of tbe ear, and some oats, which had been piled op against tho door, re moved. Tbe body of tbo man was placed in charge of the Coroner at Crestline. Trice surrendered him self into-lh cunody of the authori ties at Crestline, and Mr. McLean, another messenger, brought the "run" to this city. Thp .safo . in tbc car contained abaut. half a million dol lars. , Tbe car, upon its arrival la this city yesterday, was examined by large eirowds cf people. Tho rear end of tbc car was filled with oats in sacks, which were sent from Cin cinnati fori the company horses in New Vork lity.' TLe sacks were piled - two deep against tL rcwr. door of tbe car. The, robber cr rubbers, with a chisel or hatchet, Lrtke the woodwork around ibciowcr panel of this door in order to niakeaa openmg for the hand saw. This was accom plished, when tbe lower panel was sawed squarely out of the door, the pieces falling inside cf tbe car. The saw also cut the sacks lying against the door. Mr. George II. Price, the messen ger, has been but a Ebort time on the run between Chicago and this city, aad is, we believe, a resident of Cincinnati. He was editor of the Ejrpreas Messenger, a monthly pub lication devoted to the interests of those engaged in tbe business. - Binckley, it is supposed, had . two accomplices, as two men were ob served jumping from the train- about the time the firing was beard. The deceased waa a married man, and leaves a wife and family at Fort Wayne.
