AUTHORIZATIONS EXHAUsTRD.-The appro-
pTIation for expenses to collect the revenue
from customs is so nearly exhausted that the
Secretary of the Treasury will be unable to
pay the salaries of the collectors and their
employees until the fund for that purpose Is
replenished by Congress.
The appropriation for the Treasury Exten-
sion is also exhausted, and it will be impos.
sible to make any further payments for that
purpose until Congress appropriates the money
Hands are still at work on the extension, and
1t is expected that the necessary appropriation
will soon be made, it is desirable to have the
remaining portion of the building completed
as soon as possible and ready for occupancy,
and thus save over $4,000 per annum now
paid for outside buildings.

BACK Door LITERATURR.-The new book
entitled "Behind the Scenes, by Mrs. Keckley,
OF Washington" TO which we referred a few
days since, is to be published by G. w. Carrie
ton & Co., of New York. The publishers bonn.
bastic announcement states that the author
was ''for forty years household slave in the
best (of course 'the best) Southern families"
''durirg the plotting of the rebellion copfiien-
tial servant of Mrs. jefferson Dayis,' and
''since the rebellion, and up to date, Mrs. Abra-
ham Lineolns modisfs (dressmaker) confiden-
tial friend, and business woman generally"
Precisely how these occupations fit one for
writing book proper TO be added 10 library
we are not able to perceive. Without know.
ing any thing more of the author than the pub.
Usher youchsafes, in the language quoted
above. and without wishing TO prejudge the
book, we are yet apprehensive that it will turn
out to be one OF those sloppy catchpenny af-
fairs. of which Carleton & Co. have toisted so
many on the reading public. Nevertheless it
is likely. in the language of the craft s.to have
run" and TO oe a successful venture, pecu-

THE EVENING STAR
THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL.
PROCEEDINGS TO-DAY.

The chamber was we'll filed to-day, in an
hcipaton that testimony OF interest would be
presented, The British Minister, Mr. Thorn
ton, was in the Diplomatic Gallery, which
was better filled than heretofore General
Thomas was placed on the stand again, aud
General Butler subjected him 10 pretty sharp
cross-examination, with results that seemed
rather satisfactory to the Managers.
Lieutenant General Sherman was next called
to the stand, and general interest was exhibited
in the galleries as he came forward. He pro.
ceeded TO give his testimony in a clear deliber-
ate manner, particularly satisfactory to the re-
porters when it was interrupted by an obiec-
tion put in by the prosecution against testimo-
ny as to conversation between the President
and Gen. Sherman on the 18th of February.
The argument by counsel for and against the
admls sion of this testimony was protracted
one, and brought out some sharp sparring.
serving to relieve the tedium Of the dry, legal
proceedings.
The argument had not been concluded when
the Court took recess at 23O p. m, and was
continued after the recess by Mr.. Wilson, Of
the Managers.
During the progress of the argument Gen.
Sherman occupied a seat on the stand to the
right Of the Chief Justice. He is anxious to
get in his evidence to-day, in order to leave to-
morrow on his duties in connection with the
Indian Commission.
Itis hardly possible that his testimony will be
finished to- day. The next witness for the de-
fence will proably be Barton Able of the St
Louis Dispatch, in relation to the Presidents
speech AT St. Louis.
At $3.50 the decision of the Chief Justice
that the evidence was admissible, was over
ruled by the Senate, by vote of 2S to %,
number of Republican Senator'S, however
voting in favor of admitting it. amongst them
Messrs. Sumner, Fessenden, Fowlar, Sprague,
Van Winkle, Anthony, Grimes, Morgan,
Trumbull, and Wiley.
The question, "What do you know abont
the creation of the Department Of the Atlantic!"
was then put.
Objected to by prosecution, and objection
sustained by the Senate.
The question: Did the President make any
proposition 10 you to become Secretary of War
oil interim -
Objected TO, and the point is being argued as
we go TO press.
tseems to be probable that the proposition
TO allow three speeches a side after the evil
dence is in will be adopted by the Senate in
which case Mr.. Bingham, of the Managers,
will probably make the review of the case,
Mr.. Wilson Will deal with the law points, and
Mr.. Boutwell, deal the iRvective. On the de-
fence Mr.. Evarts will probably lead and Mr.
Stanbery conclude the case.

1t is found to be exceedingly pure with laminsted

The MODELLING of Rebel MethOdIsts.

Mr.. EDITOR: In different parts Of the country
efforts are industriously made to produce the i'm
preston that the Methodist Episcopal Church in
East Tennessee, and myself particularly, are some-
how implicated in, or responsible for, the recent
whipping of Rev. Henry Neal, in Bloant county,
and also other instances Of violence. ali Iepresen
tstions of the kind are basely and wickedly false
While there may have been Individuals connect
ed with the NJ. E. Church who have participated in
such violence-though If there are do not know it
yet the Methodist Episcopal Church in this coun-
try has never lent herself 10 such works She needs
no such adjuncts or supports. If she cannot stand
without ;hcm, let her fall. She would deserve to
60 down.
So far as l myself am concerned, have always
opposed mob violence, and 1 always expect 10 op-,
pose it. On FIRST undertaking this District--n oc-
tober, 1861 proposed 20 Rev. James Atkins, then
Presiding Elder of the NJ. E. Church, Scuth, to de-
bate this question Of the two Churches in all the
principal congregations in Ey District with him,
and submit it to a vote Of the Methodist people
BE declined accoding 10 tbe proposition, alleging
among other reasons, that ho did not consider him
self safe In certain parts Of the country assured
him I would discountenRnce violence towards him,
and that If he would accede TO the proposition and
accompany me, should any one attempt to modest
him, could Gs1Crd him. AID they skoisla llsrt nc
first When the late Captain Sizemore, ef Rogers
vile, had threatened the life Of Rev. Mr.. Hickey,
IS / learned l went to Mr.. Slzemore and plead
with him Tor an hour or more against such course,
until he agreed not to lsy hands on him. Private
y and publicly from the pulpit and through the
press have diseounteaanced such conduct. 1t is
true, have been reauited for this interference in
behalf Of Southern preachers by diseonTtesy, pro
sefiption, abuse and falsehood. When in Ashe-
Vl'ie, found the rumor carrent that had advised
the driving out from East Tennessee or killing Of
southern Methodist preachers. This must have
been circulated there by some Of The body in behalf
Of whom had inteTtered.
Sc have continued, notwithstanding the way
nave been treated By them, 70 oppose violence to-
wards them And now, again, the whipping Of
M Neal is an occasion to revive the rumors that
myself and other Methodist ministers in East Ten
heee arc The cause If not the nstigators of these
deeds. Maryyiile and Louisville circuit in Blount
county, where Mr.. Neal was whipped, is not in my
district. Such methods Of promoting the ends Of a
sectional, disloysl organization as s the ID E.
Church South in Tennessee, are as unworthy and
wicked &c they are cowardly and unjust Shame on
the perpetra.orsl have not terms % express the
supreme contempt and utter loathing which they
deserve. THOMAS n. PHAEsE.
