FoRSEr on TIE CRIsIs.-An earnest editorial
article in the Washington Chronicle says

article IN the washington Cnrontes says
every moment given to Andrew johnson In
Office Is moment Of agony and dread to the
millions he has betrayed. He lives only to per-
secute those who elected him. He allows nothing
to stand In the way Of his fendish purpose-thc
feelings Of his own ministers, the safety Of the
great Industries, and interests, the appeals OF the
hunted freedmen, the sanctity Of the laws. Even
now, when he is at last arraigned for high crimes
and misiemeanors, he continues to employ the
agencies Of the Presidency still further to insult
the people and their Senators and Represents
tivcs in Congress. We make no appeal to the
Senate In the language Of the lawyer or the ora
tor. For II there is no remedy in our free gov
eminent for such an offender, then We have be-
come the slaves Of our own betrayer. We only
endeavor to speak to Congress what we know the
American people feel, what they expect as they
watch their public servants and pray for their
stern and speedy action"

TIE TAX BILL which passed the House with
only two dissenting votes, passed the Senate
with only three votes in opposition. While pend
ing before the Senate various amendments were
offered, generally proposing to retain the inter-
nal tax on certain manufactured articles reliev-
ell BY the House bill. The one reducing the tax
on petroleum one half was retained. Another
was added imposing tax on all sales OF manu-
featured goods above $4,000 Of 81 on every
additional $500. The bill now goes back to
the House for its concurrence IN the Senate
amendments. The promptness and harmony
with which Congress has acted on this important
matter are highly commendable. There Is dan
ger of deficiency in case the bill passes, 1t is
true, but that undesirable result It 10 hoped to
avoid by collecting the whiskey tax. And
whether the relief Of manufacturers from taxation
results this year in deficiency or not the in
creased prosperity Of the country will, In the
long run, undoubtedly rebound to the interest
Of the revenues Of the treasury. The bill as II
now stands Is said to be particularly satisfactory
to Eastern Congressmen.
To the West Il Is not so entirely agreeable, the
people Of that section Of the country desiring q
modification Of the tariff to correspond with the
reduction Of internal taxation. The shipbuildcrs
Of this State will regret that the amendment nj
lowing drawback on articles used In their bus
ness did not pass. II was defeated by the
jealousy Of Western members. II is hoped,
however, that this important interest will be
properly treated at later period in the session
