Is as follows:
We have assurances from Washington

i as his opinion that the only hope for the
peace OF the country is the success OF the
PENDING Impeachment trial. He feels that

FoRNEY DESCRIBED BY A RADICAL
George Alfred Townsend writes from
Washington Il" What shall l say Of For
ney3 Happy accident had nearly named
him Fawney. His record is one contemp-
tuous in all its episodes. He fawned to
Mr.. Buchanan. Lincoln once said: This
Forney makes fine art Of abjectness =
Andrew johnson dismissed him with the
epithet OF Dead Duck. Even johnson
could despise Forney. What depths of
contempt does that fact reveal More
miraculous to me is the fact that Forney
can find even parasites to himself, though
l believe he gets them out of his own
family chiefly, Jhones and the white horse
excepted His career is strewn with
broken friendship and illuminated with
cowardly senSualities. He wrote the For
rest amiSon letter, unparalleled in base
ness, criDging at an actors feet to ruin a
woman's fame. He searches the horizon
for the coming man, and hastens to fawn
upon him. When, in that. Christian dis
pensation, the devil is let loose upon the
world after the thousand years, there will
be Forney to hail him first and follow
after his standard, unless abhorrent nature
before that day extinguishes the race, that
man shall not be utterly shameless. This
Forney was the wine. faster to- Johnson,
and gave him to drink on inauguration
day. But better his whiskey than his
praises. I would rather be kissed by a
reptile than master to that man ~

THE SENATE GRANTS IT-a7 To 10.
Butler Suspected Of Treachery. ,

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The Senate met
at II o'clock, and the question of admis-
sion to the galleries was considered. The
abolition of the ticket system meets oppo-
sition.
Mr.. Conness said the rebellion was rife
as ever in Washington, and free admissions
would be dangerous. The question was
then postponed.
/, The court was then opened, and the trial
proceeded with.
Second Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, April 4.-The Senate went
into executive session in order to remove
secrecy from some executive documents
which the Impeachment Managers wanted
to use in the trial.
The resolutions Of the Indiana Legisla-
ture urging national law to make eight
hours days work were presented.
The impeachment trial was then re-
sumed. Reporters were examined rela-
tive to the Presidents St. Louis speech,
and copy was admitted as evidence.
Mr.. Chew, chief clerk Of the State De-
partment, was examined relative to the
routine of commissions, and the change in
the form of blanks so as to conform to the
tenure. Of Office act was proved.
A letter from the President to the Sc
cretary of the Treasury, advising him OF
the removal of Stanton, in conformity with
the tenure of-ofice act, was admitted.
The correspondence between President
Adams and Mr.. Pickering, and Adams's
message to the Senate announcing Picker
ing's suspension, in 1900, was admitted.
A motion was made for a recess. Butler
asked for few minutes delay, but the re-
cess was taken.
On re;issembling, Butler announced that
the Managers had closed the case, except
as concerned cumulative evidence.
The defence asked for an adjournment
until Thursday to prepare and arrange its
evidence.
|. Mr.. CoHness moved that the court ad-
journ till Wednesday.
Cries of "Shame shame - and
"Give them the other day ("
|. Mr.. Johnson moved to amend by ad.
journing till Thursday which was carried
with but two negative votes.
The yeas and nays were demanded, but
CONFESS accepted Johnson's amendment,
and the demand was consequently not
pressed.
On the final vote to adjourn the court
till Thursday.it stood: Yeas, 81; nays, TO-
The Senate adjourned till Monday.
The closing of the prosecution to-day
caused establishment, but the counsel for
the defence were not surprised. The pub
lie is much disappointed.
1t seems to be admitted on all hands that
Buffers management has not strengthened
impeachment. Some claim that Butler
gave undue Importance to his own article
1.-THE tenth). Others insinuate that Butler
is playing false, and that he Intentionally
made the proceedings farcical. .
1t seems certain that the defence will
now hurry the case to a conclusion.

Trouble at COalfield Great Excite
menI-FeRrs of IA Riot.


Special telegram to the Dispatch.
CokLFIELD, April 4.-The colored peo-
pie celebrated the anniversary Of their
freedom at this place as usual on yester-
day. During the day quiet and good order
prevailed
1t was generally agreed between the
colored hands-numbering between l25 to
15O-who work at the Midlothian Coal
Mines that the company should raise their
wages, and pay them a portion in money,
and not altogether in tickets, as they have
been doing for the past thirteen months.
One of the men informed the balance that
the first one who violated the agreement
would be instantly shot. To-day large
number have been walking about, idle,
and it is supposed without means of sup
port.
A fight occurred this evening about
o'clock between white and colored man
while under the influence of liquor. The
colored man ran off, and the white man
pursued him about mile. Since that
time the colored man has not been heard
of, and it is generally believed by his
friends that the white man has killed him
consequently great. excitement exists
amongst them. at o'clock they were In
pursuit of the white man, and say that
they intend to murder every white man in
this place if they do not account for their
friend.

TREAsuRr DEPARTMENT,

WARRINGTON, March 80. 1888

WAsHfEaToS, March 80, 1865 J
Sir,-Under the stringent orders lately
given, it is believed that cases may arise
in your district where Injustice will be
done to claimants If cases may not be more
samtnariy disposed Of than by reference
to this office or by trial in court. 1t has
therefore been decided that in all cases
where property is seized by you, or by one
OF your subordinates in. your own district,
the same not being distilled spirits, nor a
.d,stlllery, nor exceeding in value the sum
OF 81 900, it may be released by you, if it
should appear to your satisfaction that the
seizure was without sufficient cause.
If the property is distilled spirits, or IL
distillery, or does not exceed $1,000 in
value, it may be released by you, if it
shall appear both to yourself and the as
SCISSOR of your district that the seizure was
without sufficient cause. If proceedings
have been commenced by the district at
torney against property so seized, they,
may be discontinued by the concurrent
action of yourself, the assessor, and the
district attorney.
Improperly is seized in your district by
an officer reporting to the collector of an
other district, who Is empowered by the
commissioner under his own hand to make
such seizure. the custody of the property
SO seized will be turned over to you, to-
gether with statement Of the grounds on
which the seizure was made. You should
not release it, however, except with the
concurrence of that collector to whom the
officer who seized it reports, when it might
be released by yourself alone, and seized
by you within your district, but you will
also require the concurrence of the asses
sors of both districts if the property is Of
that description which brings it within the
rule laid down above, in which the action
of the assessor is required. IF an officer,
reporting specially to you, makes seizure
in another district, your concurrence with
the collector Of that district, and, if the
case requires, with the assessor also, must
be had before that collector can be allowed
to leave such property.
You will release no property seized by
yourself or your subordinates, or turned
over TO your custody by other officers, ex-
cept under the above rules.
If there is difference Of opinion be-
tween yourself and the district attorney,
or the assessor of your district, or the
cases of such character as to call for joint
action, you will report in detail to this Of
fee, when such instructions will be given
as the nature of the case may require.
The power to release before proceedings
are commenced by the District Attorney
must be exercised within five days after
the seizure.
II release is not made within that period,
Immediately upon its expiration the case
must be reported to the district attorney
for his action.
Very respectfully,
E. A. ROLLINS, Commissioner.
To John ". Frazier, Esq, Assessor
First District, Philadelphia, Pa.
