The administration of President johnson

secretary Of the treasury, under the following
provisions of en- act Of congress approved on
the Sd of March last:

secretary of the treasury Is hereby authorized to
appoint a commission, consisting OF three per-
sons, toinquire and report, at the earliest prac-
ucIble moment, upon the subject of raising, BY
taxation, such revenue may be necessary In
order to supply the wants OF the government
having regard to, and including the sources from
which revenue shou.d be drawn and the best and
most efficient mode of raising the same and to
report the form OF a bill and that such commits
SION have power to inquire into the manner and
efficiency of the present and past methods of COL
ecting the internal revenue. and to take tie stmo-
YIN such manner and under su ch regulations as
may be pr sscrbed by the secretary OF the trsasu-

ST. LOUIS, june 1.-THE Dispatch Of this
afternoon contains q letter from Hon. Ed
ward Bates condemnatory of what he calls
Gov. Fletcher's illegal and tyrannicsl sssump-
tion in forcibly ejecting Judges Bay and Dry
den from their seats on the supreme bench.
Mr.. Bates declares that Gov. Fletcher must
recant his usurpation, or maintain il against
law by. the power of the bayonet, and thus
inaugarate civil war in Missouri. He furth
or says the governor is guilty of an impeaeh
able ofense in assuming to determine. who is
and who is not the lawful Judge of any court
in the state. He also states that the shree
new judges lately put into Office by brigs-
der general of militia are plainly liable to
have their pretensions tried by quo scarran-
to in the circuit court. This, it Is said, will
be done if the Judge of that court can secure
posse comitatus to enforce his orders. The
