THE ROWING REVENUE COMMITS
SION.


Inc onitcd states Aeveuuc Commission
were appolnted IN pursuance Of ~ act Of Con-
gress TO inquire into and report upon the sub
1cct Of ''raising revenue" They seem now TO
nave tufned their attention to the subject. Of
preventing the raising Of revenue. They have
made report declaring that tho Imports
TONS oi goods during the first six weeks Of
Tue present year have been five times greater
thar during the same period of 1866, and that
Ito prevent panic'' Congress should imme-
d1ately increase the duties fifty per cent. The
object Of course is to prcrcnt importations,
and the result must bc, first, to dimlntah
revenue; and second, 10 put vast sums Of
money into the pockets Of those importers
who have got their goods already into the
country. In making such Recommendation
the Commission have orerstepped the limits
Of their official duty, and assumed to mcadlc
with matters which do not concern them.
Arc there any facts which justify this sort
Of oflclal impeEtinencee The ostensiblc OBJ
ject Is to "preycnt panic" The Revenue
Commission APPEAR TO think that trade is in

The approaching city election Is beginning
TO attrnct the attention Of our people, and
very properly. In view Of the possible ar-
rival Of cholera during the present yenr VIC
blull need moro than ever the advantages OF
a good city government. We need one that
will economically and wisely rule The city in
thcintcrcst Of cleanliness and morality, with.
out needlcssly interfering with the great -b,-
sincss interests on which our city depends for
Ills prosperity. To obtaln such an one the re-
spons'blc men Of every ward should cast
about them carefully, and select the
most sensible md able mnn in their Ward who
will serve. Give us men whose business tai
cnts and experience will secure them from be-
inS imposed upon, whose personal character
will rlnce them above being. bought, and
whose public spirit will induce them 10 de-
vote their time and talents 10 the public ser
vice from motives that shall be disntcnested
and patriotic.
But our election, occurring at this jnnctnre,
will have q political rs well as local import

Richard Fuller, D. D. has been known In the

Last evening the Fenians Of the tsumnit

Senators Morrison, OF NJ ssonrl, and Fitzger-

condition of the Inhabitants OF the Green Isle
vas clearly shown, and the appeals from the
distinguished speakers for aid and means to
secure the independence of "Ould Ireland"
were very eloquent and touching: The re-

only about s7oo. The Irish here being "Peace-

WASHINGTON, Msrch 20. 1866
As looked down from my seat In the gal,
lcry this afternoon upon the sad, solemn pa.
geant In the Senate Chamber In honor OF the
remains Of the great and good Solomon Foot,
Of Vermont, and saw the President seated
within few feet Of the coffin, could not
help thinking Of conversation that occurred
at the White House between the tllustrious
deceased and the chief, by virtue Of his rank,
Of the mourncrs, not long before the formers
last Illness. The Nestor Of the Senate, moved
with inteEsc solicltude at the growing signs
Of premeditated recreancy on the part Of the
President to the party that had elected him,
had called to satisfy himself, By personal In.
quiry, of the relative correctness of the eus-
pfcions that had taken possession Of all patri-
otto and rejecting minds. With his haDitual
directness and ingenious frankncss he in
formed the President Of the apprehension, felt
By himself and the loyal pnhlic ut large, that
tho Executive Was about abandoning
his true friends and joining hands with
their political enemies. He Eave expression
the general anticipation In this respect was
unfouudcd, and to the eladness With which
he would receive some assuruncc to that ef.
iect. The President, in reply, disclalmcd
lnus1 eafncotfy nny Intention to tusu LIS back
upon the Union party, or to disrupt 1t by
means of his official power and patronage.
lie protested with much emphasis that be
knew the Coppc5head Democracy too we'll to
bc drawn into any alliance with it, md That
his past record should be considered guaranty
enough for his fidelity to the Union party.
His language and manner we're apparently so
sincere, and Ills assurance 20 positive, as to
impress Mr.. Foot with the belief that there
was no danger Of executive detection. How
wholly he had been deceived was evident TO
him long before his untfmelT death Tho
thought Of having been, like go many Others,
. victim of misplaced confidence, must have
been extremely bitter to bis honest, trusting
soal. And Its bitterness would be but intcn-
si6ed By the remembrance Of the lorbcaring
md sympathetic charity which be had excr-
cised toward Andrew johnson upon his cle-
wilton TO the Chief Magistracy, little moro
than year ago, upon m occasion which will
always remain a painful sting In the national

WASHINGTON, February 26.-The following
important letter was read to night by Gov.
Cox, Of Ohio, to the Representatives IN Con-
gress from that State:
WASHINGTON, February %, 1865
Gen. Geo B. Wright, Chairman Union Cen
trail Committee, Columbus, O.:
NV Dear Sir: On Saturday last had an
interview with the President which re-
garded as Of sufficient importance to reduce
to writing while my remembrance OF his
statements were fresh in my memory. walt
ed upon him this morning TO make known
what had done and TO ask his VerIteatlon
OF the truth of my report and his consent 70
make the same known to the country. he
frankly gave his consent and asserted to the
accuracy of my report
The President said he had no thoughts he
was moi willing to avow, that his policy had
ration of peace on the basis of loyalty. No
Congressional policy had ever been adopted,
and therefore when he entered upon the du-
ties Of his Office he was obliged to adopt one
of his own. He had in some sense inherited
that OF Mr.. Lincoln, with which he thought
he agreed, and that was substantially the
same one which he had carried out. Con-
gress had no Just ground Of complaint that
he had done so, for they had not seen fit to
declare their views or adopt any measures
embodying what could be called policy oi
res torati, n.
He was satisfied that the long continuance
of military government could be tolerated
that the whole country would peremptorily
demand the restoration of a truly civil gov
ernment, and not to give that to the lately
rebellious States would be an admission o
the failure of the administration and Of th'
party which had carried through war, Il
prove themselves equal 70 the exigeney
