The testimony of Mr.. Rollins, Commissioner
of Internal Revenue. before the Judiciary
Committee, and his letters to the Secretary
of the Treasury, which our Washington
correspondent furnishes this morning, place
the responsibility for the present inefficiency
of the revenue system so clearly upon
the President that, when plans for the re-
lief of the national finances are under de-
bate it will be well to recur to it for few
valuable hints. The removals and appoint
ments in the Internal Revenue service during
the year 1866 were made by the President
alone. without consultation with the Commits
sioner; and indeed Mr. Rollins soon ceased to
make any recommendations to Office, knowing
that they would not be regarded He believed
that the changes made by Mr.. johnson had
cost the country many millions Of dollars.
Many of the most competent and vigilant Off
GERS were removed for purely political reasons,
and corrupt or inexperienced men appointed in
their places, and "as rule, in those States
"where removals were largely made, the best
"men were removed" On the other hand, Off
cials whose removal Mr. Rollins had for good
reasons requested, and against whom he had
filed formal charges, are still retained. In view
of the damaging character of his testimony, it
is not at all surprising that the Commissioner
himself should have been turned cut

FLORENCE, Feb. 14.--Menabrea, the Prime Minis-

STATE DINNER TO Admiral FARRAGUr.
Yesterday evening Admiral Farraeut. having re-
covered from his slight illness, attended state
dinner at the Royal Palace to which he was invited
by King Victor Emmanuel. The Admiral was
received with marked courtesy by the King, and was
treated with great honor and consideration by the
distinguished company assembled Among those
present on the occasion were the members OF tho
Italian Cabinet the high officials of the Royal Court
and of the City of Florence and the chief officers OF
the army and navy. The Italian journals contain
frequent reports in regard to the visit OF Admiral
Farragut and seem to be persuaded that he Is hero
on some mission of great importance The last rnor
which has appeared is to the effect that bis object 10
to obtain naval station in the Mediterranean Cor
the United States and that he has been instructed 70
apply to the Italian Government for the OF tho
port of Spezzia for that purpose.
New-York tribune., 1868-02-15

The bill introduced by the English Govern
ment into Parliament for the suspension of
habeas corpus in ireland shows how serious
the Fenian movement continues to be, even In
the eyes of the English, There is, of course, no
chance whatever at present of the success OF the
Fenians, and on that account the frequent
transgressions of the English laws are unwise
and useless moves. But England, which has at
no time been anything else, with regard to
Ireland, than its oppressor, has no right to
charge the leaders of the National party with
the violation of an oath Of allegiance which
they have never taken, and which they abhor.
All the legislation which is based on such re-
voting Misrepresentation Of the true state OF
affairs will only tend to widen the breach be-
tween England and Ireland. and to secure to the
latter the sympathy of the civilized world.

Mr. Delmar's statistical tables, published
December 21, are wholly devoted to facts bear
ing on the foreign trade of the United States
and other nations. Not a single fact or figure
is given relative 70 any branch of industry
carried on in the United States. Our great
agricultural, manufacturing, mining, transporta-
ton, river, lake and canal systems, our labor
interests-our home capital in whatsoever
branches employed--aford vast field for in
yestigation, and the statistics in regard to them
would be of inestimabe value. The current
politics of the country cannot be comprehended
without them. The history of our country can
not be truly written because of the want OF
them. Yet Mr.. Delmar Is blind to everything
but what takes place on the ocean. He is q
saltwater bird, and if he were appointed Di>
rector of O Bureau OF Statistics for the five
great oceans Of the globe he would be in his
right place. As it is, the statistics he publishes
are rehashes Of matter furnished to his hand
by our Custom Houses, and are OF so little
consequence to the American people, and prove
such an utter incapacity to appreciate the OPP
portunities and duties Of his position, that we
are glad to see that, in the appropriation bills
now passing through Congress, no appropria-
ton is made for the Bureau Of Statistics. II
the President .caDnot be induced to appoint Q
more competent Superintendent for the Bureau
It had better be abolished.

plenary knowledge of the History OF the Mid

Mr.. Jared Sparks was the best person OF his
time for the Presidency, because he was best
acquainted with the details of our Colonial and
Revolutionary history. Several OF our learned
cotemporaries would seem to be of the opinion
that nobody should be constitutionally eligible
to the Office except Masters of Arts and Doctors
of the Law of Laws. Some of them may even
favor n preliminary examination of the candi-

Perhaps the events of these latter days nave

if the President of the United States could be
