"A STATEMENT has been prepared by the
Secretary of the Treasury which is intended
as proof of tho incompeteney Of Mr.. Roll
Inns, Commissioner of the Internal Revenue.
The substance of the paper is that of the 139
changes in the assessors and collectors OF the
revenue during the year 1867, 20 were made
by the President without and 119 with the
recommendation of the Commissioner. In
the former case the average falling of in the
receipts as compated with the previous year
was Si6,47o per district; in the latter case
S160,942. In the 101 districts where no changes
were made the average falling off was $780, 06
The statement is obviously a partial one, but
we give it for what it is worth -sA

1HE CASE OF JUSTICE FIELD OF the Supreme
Courti is to be made the subject of Congress-
ional inquiry. One day last week at pri-
yate gathering of members of both political
parties, he took occasion to denounce the re-
construction acts of Congress as unconstitu-
tional, and declared that the Supreme Court
would pronounce them to be SO. Upon being
cautioned against so injudcions declarations,
he grew warm and reiterated them. The au-
thority for the story is derived from the Wash
ington Express and Baltimore Gazette both
Democratic papers. The next day Mr. SEQ
ted, Of Pennsylvania, introduced resolution
in the House Of REPRESENTATIVES., directing the
judiciary COMMITTEES to inquire into the truth
Of the allegations against Justice Field and re-
port whether the ofense is one authorizing
impeachment Some ofthe Democratic mem
bers made slight opposition in debate, but the
resolution passed by vote Of % to 81 Fields
friends denytte truth of the charges against
him.

ST.. LOUIS. May 6. 1868.
The weather is red hot - for this time of the
year, and IL rains regularly at least once day,
and frequently oftener. At noon to-day we had
"right smart" shower with heavy wind and
very liberal supply Of thunder and lightning. The
prediction of the New York weather prophet that
this would be season of violent storms and hur-
rcanes is being fulfilled in this locality. Probably
more rain has already fallen here this year THAI
during the whole of the one previous. Its effect
on the wheat and grass crop is beneficial, and
those two products of the soil are, am Informed,
looking finely and promise an abundant yield; but
il rains so much and so frequently, that planters
are seriously interfered with In their attempts to
plant corn, potatoes. tobacco, etc.
Business is not so good as it should be, yet in
every branch of trade there is considerable doing,
and things are gradually assuming Tor resumingl
their ante beilttpe shape. Even In these times,
which we call dull. more business is probably
transacted in the aggregate in st. Louis than in
any other river town, not excepting Cincinnati.
but we expect the heaviest part of the seasons
business will not be transacted till after harvest.
Then we shall look for rush.

The growing crops were very badly cut up; the
wheat beaten down and brokea the corn
blades cut into strings and many stalks crushed
the cotton so badly cut up as to make Unnecessary

nearly all destroyed on the places in the path Of

place containing nine thousand trees is all ruined
and the prospect of a great fruit crop was very
promising before the storm. A great number Of
poultry Of various kinds, and some pigs. were
killed by the hailstones. Turkeys setting in the

and every egg broken. window-glass, of course
