The World has published on several occasions
lately statement of its receipts from sales
and subscriptions during the quarter ending
September 3Oth last. We think there must be
a largo mistake in the amount stated, and pro-
pose to test its accuracy. We suggest that
Col. Hoe be appointed to examine the books
of The World, and if the amount stated was
received from its sales and subscriptions, not
including advertising, We will donate to the
Newsboys' Lodging House the sum of $1,000;
and if the statement is not correct The World
shall pay 81 900 to that institution, which needs
the money at this inclement season. The de-
cisiOn of Col. Hoe shall be published in The
TRIBUNE and The World.

We publish to-day a communication respect
ing affairs in Mississippi which we commend to
the attention of Congress. A committee Of
fye' it seems have declared the Constitution
of the State, reported rejected at the last cleo
ton, to have been actually accepted the vote
of several counties being thrown out on the
glomd of fraud. We trust that this action Of
the Committee will not be sanctioned without
close scrutiny. The proscriptiye sections .of
the Constitution are much too severe, and
would be likely to insure its defeat. We be-
lieve that nothing is to be gained in the South
ern States by narrow and revengeful policy,
and it is better even that Mississippi should
stay out of the Union for while than that
she should be brought in by measures which
would embitter race against race, and prove
fatal to the hope of genuine peace.

Mr.. Bjngham's bill providing for an election
to be held in Virginia, to decide the adoption
of the State Constitution, was passed by the
House yesterday, amended to make the time
Of the election May 4, 1869. Mr. Bingham
argued in favor of January 90, on the ground
that the action of Oregon, NewJersey. and
Ohio, in Withdrawing their consent to the
XIVth Amendment to the Constitution, made
it important that other States should be at
once admitted to complete the number required
TO ratfy the amendment. But this argument
was overruled by the opinion of Messrs
Washbnrn, Butler, and others, that fair cleo
ton cannot be held in Virginia till Grant has
the authority to protect loyal voters from
Rebel tyranny.

We print on another page an interesting let
ter from Arizona showing that that Territory
is far from being the bowling wilderness de-
scribed in a fippant letter recently published
in New-YOrll contemporary. Of the mineral
wealth of the region, according to our CORE
spondent the half has never been told, while
the value of the tilable, grazing, and timber
lands is limited only by the power of immisra-
ton to develop and cultivate them. The pop
ulation has increased from almost nothing in
1860 to near 10000 souls.

President Johnson seems not to have heard OF
tbe election of Grant, and is stumping Congress
in favor of Seymour He repeats IN his mes
sage the language of the Democratic platform,
that there is no reason why those who defend
lis on the land and protect us on sea" the
pensoner, the public servants, the farmers,
mechanics artisans, &c, should be paid IN de-
preciated currency, while the bondhdlders are
paid in gold.
1t is the payment of coin interest on our
bonds which has preserved the National credit
and so made the greenbacks worth WHAT tliey
are. Without coin interest on the bonus our
credit would be much lower, and our currency
nearly worthless. But there is another differ
ence between the bOndhOlder and all the other
classes mentioned. The rate of interest on the
bond has never been increased. On the con-
tlary, when our currency deprecated, In order
To compensate for the depreciation the wages
of the soldier were raised 70 per cent, which Is
more than the average and twice the present
depreciation The pensions were ilxed alter
the depreciation and adapted to it. Some OF
the salaries of public servants have been raised,
and some have not, but not the first officer OF
the Government has yet suffered from poverty,
or retired from his position because the salary
WAS too small or evinced desire to exchange
his place for the risks and recommendations OF
private business. On the whole, our officers OF
the Government, in pecunary sense, are at
the average doing remarkably well. Farmers
prices have doubled and tripled in the depre-
ciated currency, and the agricultural classes
have never made as much money at the aver
age as in this very currency. so OF mechanics
and artisans. The demand for labor has for
eight years been steady, abundant, and remu-
nerative. Especially the mechanics and artisans
in the employ of the Government VINO are
getting ten hours wages for eight hours work,
are receiving in gold values about twice as
much as they ever received under specie
currency. The indestructbility of error seems
to be shown in the fact that this wretched
fugitive blunder. after being hunted down IN
the Presidential campaign, has taken refuge IN
the Presidents Message.

The Report of the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue states that the proceeds of forfeltures
paid into Court amount to 81, $50 70, and
that the amount collected from judgments
against defraudcrs of the Revenue is Sl27,3O "a T;
also, that $l,l54,O27 81 have been collected on
compromises. All these sums combined would
perhaps amount to as much as the fortunes
made by a single Collector of Revenue and his
leading deputies in one of our most profitable
collection districts. The most interesting facts
connected with our Internal Revenue system
do not appear in Mr.. Rolins's Report. If he
had only stated how many of his Assessors
and Collectors were penniless or iDsOyent when
they went into Office, how many of these have
lived ut rate three times their legitimate in
comes while in office, and how many of the
latter are now ready TO retire on fortunes
ranging mt from one to two millions, without
having engaged in any other than official bus
mess, his Report would have been not only
interesting, but sensational. IL he had made
a report on lnformers' fees showing their
amount and who got them, and what proper
ton the amounts collected by the Government
on compromises and seizures bore to the
amounts pocketcd by officers and informers,
tho interest would have been increased. In
fact, the most interesting portions OF Mr. Rol-
lns's Report seem to have been held in re-
serve, to be communicated to Congress at their
special request. We hope Congress will call
for q new report which will explain why the
frauds on the Revenue amount to twenty per
cent of the total revenue collected and in as
ccrtaining this fact let the main point inquired
into be, How much money has the Collector
n,a;lc while in office, and how has he made it2
1t may be easier to arrive at a sound general
knowledge of the result in this way than by
following each particular item of his profits
through the mazes of the law and the gaunt
let of dozens of adverse witnesses.

We heartily approve the suggestion made by
Mr. Sargent, Commissioner of Customs, IN favor
of amending or repeating the absurd rule which
allows passengers arriving at our ports to bring
wearing apparel appropriate to their social
position free of duty. If there be any such
thing in America az "sOca position" it will
hardly be contended that officers of the Customs
can determine what the social position of every
person entering the port may be, and if they
could the injustice would DC none the less. The
rule opens the door to that system of genteel
smuggling which has been so extensively carried
on during the past few years, and never more
largely than the past Summer Under pretense
of making u visit or tour through Europe,
families going out with lean carpet-b bags, n few
hungry trunks, and nothing to wear have
returned with caravansery of baggage, in
Guiding clothing for several years wear OF their
friends and relatives, the duties on which
would several times pay the expense of their
trip. Meanwhile seizures have been made of
the surplus clothing of honest immigrants having
perhaps as much cash, but less social position"
than these smuggling tourists. The amount
which may come in free of duty should be
limited both in weight and value, without
regard to the social position or wealth of the
parties

HOUSE.

The House proceeded to the con.
sideration Of the additional articles OF
impeachment, offered yesterday by Mr..
Jencks, who advocated its adoption.
Messrs. Highly and Lawrence support
ed the proposition; the latter member
desired to offer resolution directing
the managers ofimpeachmentt to present
to the Senate the first four articles OF
impeachment agreed upon by the House;
that they proceed to ask tho judgment
of the Senate thereon after proper
hearing and that if afterwards found
necessary, should present the remain
der of the articles agreed upon.
Mr.. Bingham expressed the hope that
the resolution would not be agreed to.
Mr.. Speaker stated that it was not be
