COMMISSIONERS OF INTERNAL REvENUE--Co
.ress last week. in answer t. resolution
got from Mr.. Rollins, Commissioner Of IN
ternal Revenue, copies Of letters sent by him
to Secretary McCulloch from time To time,
urging the removal Of Inefficient and dishon-
est assessors and collectors. These recon-
mendations Of Mr. Rollins were not only
never acted upon by Secretary McCulloch
and the President, but many changes were
made in officials against the Commissioner 5
protest. Since the complaints of great frauds
in the Revenue department have been made,
the Presidents friends have thrown all the
blame upon Mr.. Rollins, bat these letters
show that the Commissioner has been entire
Iy ignored both in his recommendations and
protests. The anticipation of an exposure
Of Mr. johnson s conduct in respect to these
appointments is the reason. doubtless. why 4
successor to Mr. Rollins has been nominated
and it will also, no doubt, be the reason why
Gen Wisewell will wait some time for his
confirmation. IL should also be reason
with Congress for passing law requiring
the appointments and removals Of Revenue
officers to be made only upon the recommend
alton of the Commissioner.

Impeachment.

impeachment has again come t. grict.
The correspondence between Grant and the
President had been urged as disclosing the
President IN the position Of resistance to the
laws and as therefore Liable to impeachment,
and the Committee on Reconstruction have
been considering the subject; and they also
had the old impeachment testimony referred
to them. Last Thursday the committee took
action az follows
The Subcommittee On Reconstruction sub
mitted to the full committee the testimony
which they had taken IN the impeachment
business. It gave rise to some discussion,
after which Mr. Thaddcus Stevens called the
attention Of the committee to the fact that
he had prepared articles Of impeachment
which he wished to submit. Mr.. Stevens
then read the articles as follows

The late James prentiSS. ESQ.

We briefly noticed recently the decease Of
James Prentiss, ESD, formerly of Montpel-
Ter We copy below from the Watertown,
OYis.) Democrat, just and appropriate no.
tee Of Mr. Prcntiss
Mr. James Prentiss, ex-Mayor of this
city, after protractcd illness, died in the
city Of New York, in the 18th year of his
age, on the 9th Of January 1868. His re-
mains were taken TO Cooperstown, n. J.,
the former residence Of his wife, for burial.
Though this sad event was not wholly un-
expected, still it has. fallen with no less
painful severity on his family and relatives.
who were 50 tenderly and warmly attached
to the departed husband and brother Mr.
Prcntiss was born in Montpelier. Vt. on
the 10Th Of July, 1924, and was a graduate
Of the Vermont University at Burlington.
After studying law in the office of his father
the late Judge Prentiss, he came to Wiscon
SIN in 1913, and aseociating himself with
he brother, Hon. Theodore Prentigs, chose
Watertown for his home. During the 10
years he has remained here he has been ac
lively engaged in business pursuits-his in
dustry and sagacity heving resulted in the

did mt take the bait, and Mr. johnson will
be obliged to look to Rousseau, as the only
army officer who can be relied upon to do his
bidding. If Rousseau fails him he can turn
to the late Gen. Mcclellan, although that of
ficer would not be able to give definite re-
ply until after the next presidential election.
Hancock might do, but even Hancock finds
that he is obliged occasionally to defend loyal
men against rebels and, besides, if Johnson
should recall him from New Orleans, whom
could he send to that Department satlstac-
tory to the rebels?
Mr.. johnson is in bad case. Men Of
responsibility don't incline to burn their
fingers pulling his chestnuts out Of the radi-
cal fire. Postmaster General Randall is the
only man that NE can think Of entirely avail
able for his purposes, having no character to
lose, and being quite willing to do any dis
reputable work ana Mr.. johnson should al
once nominate him Breyet General, and as
sign him to the command Of the Department
of the Atlantic Doolittlc could mt take the
place. n he would lie obliged to resign his
seat in the Senate. and le does Mt care to dc
Wisconsin that favor. Randall is the man
for the place and he ought to have it, if for
nothing else as 4 reward for calling Gen.
Grant "a ID liar and "a sneak - Let

,Esr. .SOi.nS0n'S Game.

The game Mr. Johnson tried to play with
Gen Grant was j very pretty one, and his
anger at having il spoiled is therefore great
Mr. johnson knew that a portion, at least,
Of the more radical Republicans were op-
posed to the nomination of Grant for Presi-
dent. iayoring Chase or Wade. For the last
two years johnson has lost NO opportunity
to make it appear TINT Grant was very con
servative, il fact almost friend Of the
Johnson policy u reconstruction and he
has confidently expected that the General
would become 80 far identified with that
policy as to render his nomination at Chicago
am impos7ibility. let while such nomina-
ton would, in that case, have been impossi-
Die. Mr. johnson zap doubt expected that
the Generals personal popularity with many
Republicans would Be $50 great that the
party would lose enough, by not nominating
him, to make the election Of the Democratic
pro-rcbcl candidate tolcrably certain. This
was pretty little -,nc and if Grant
hadn't blocked it, would have worked
charmingiy. Is it strange that Mr.. John
son is in wrath at having his plans not only
defeated, but exposed, and Stanton back in
the War Department at the same time

the House of Representatives, and all the
people of the United States, do impeach An
drew johnson, President of the United
States, of high crimes and misdemeanors,
and acquaint the Senate that the House of
Representatives will in due time exhibit par
ticular articles of impeachment against him,
and make good the same.
Resolred, That said committee do demand
that the Senate take order for the appearance
of the said Andrew johnson. to answer to
said impeachment
Mr.. Stevens wished to have Il vote, and
after some discussion Judge Bingham moved
to table the resolutions. which was carried
by the following vote Yeas -Messrs- Bling
/ ham. Paine, Beaman. Hulburd, Brooks,
Beck-6 Nays-Messrs. Stevens, Boutwell,,
and Farms worth-3. Before the vote was
taken Mr.. Paine, who voted for impeach-
ment last year, attempted to dodge the ques-
ton in committee, and moved towards the
door to leave the room. Mr.. Stevens, OBJ
serving his movements, said, shaking his
finger at him, Paine, come back; YOU have
got to face the music. Go on either the one
side or the other Paine hesitated. and
then Stevens said, CLERK. put him down
against impeachment, and Air. Paine was

ALABAMA.-The latest news from Alabama
leaves probability that majority Of the
registered voters in that state have voted az
the recent election, and that, therefore. the
constitution is adop ted and members of Con
gress are elected. If this should turn out
not to be the fact, Senator Sherman's bill to
admit Alabama and declare the constitu-
ton adopted will pass Congress. The law
requiring majority Of registered votes TO be
cast at the election is an absurdity upon the
face Of it; and it helps the rebels to defeat
the constitution, DIS it is much easier 70 keen
a negro away from the polls than 30 make
him vote on the wrong side

SOUTH CARoLISA.-The first seven sections
of the bill of rights adopted by the South
Carolina Constitutional Convention now in
session would seem TO indicate that the mem
bers of that body know what they are about.
Substantially, the sections affirm the follow
ing basis
L. All men are born free and equal.
.. Slavery is forever prohibited.
;. Vests all power in the people, and be-
slows the right to modify the form of gov
eminent
4. Citizens owe paramount allegiance to
the government of the United States.
5. Future attempts to dissolve the Union
shall be resisted with all the power of the
state.
g. The right of people to assemble is not
to be abridged
.. The right of free speech and liberty of
the press are asserted.
This is the negro domination that Doc
little and the rest of the reconstructed are
afraid Of Government according 20 the
above constitution would be new in South
Carolina, but it will not prove failure if
the whites will strictly adhere to its require
mente.

WASHINGTON, -. c.. Feb. II, 1868.
General You will please issue an order
creating military division, to be called the
Military Division of the Atlantic to be
composed of the Department of the Lakes, the
Department Of the East and the Department
Of Washington, and to be commanded by
Lieut. Gen. W T. Sherman, with his head
quarters ut Washington ntil further or
dere from the President YOU viii assign an
officer to the permanent command Of the
Military Division Of the Missouri.
Respectfully yours,
(Signed) ANDREW JoHNsoN-
Gen. U. 5. GRANT, commanding Armies of
the United States, Washington, ID. q.
Whether the President was intending to
ignore Gen. Grant. or try him by court
martial for INSTRUMENTATION, or suspend him
without the form Of a trial, not quite
apparent on the face Of this order, but it was
Quite evident that some new effort 10 defeat
the laws was about To be set on foot from the
White House, and Gen. Sherman was To be
used, II possible, as the instrument it. The
result however Of this startling coup detqf
must have sobered Mr.. johnson, as it Ger
tainly elated the friends Of law and order.
Washington correspondents agree upon the
following account of the favor which tins
:. ORDER received from Gen Sherman
WAsnINGToN, Feb. II, 1865
The PRONUNCIATION by the President to-day
of the order creating the new Department of
the Atlantic, and ass signing Gen. Sherman to
its command, has given rise To much specu-
lation and good deal of comment among
those who divine the object of the Executive
Gen. Sherman, at least. seems to look upon
I the movement as one calculated to array
himself against Gen. Grant, and he has taken
firm stand in the matter. Today he tele-
graphed to his brother, Senator Sherman,
that his nomination to the Senate by the
President as Breyet General was without
precedent that he did not desire any such
honor adding that he wished his nomina-
ton rejected He also telegraphed from St.
Louis that as a soldier he would obey orders,
but that if it was insisted upon that he should
remain at the head of the new Department
in Washington ne should resign his commits
sion in the army. His nomination as Brevet
General was referred in the executive session
of the Senate to-day to the Committee on
Military Affairs, who will report adversely
upon it.
Gen. Sherman is classed among a. conserv-
alive politicians, but he is one of the class
of conservatives who believe in loyalty, and
remember that there has been such a thing
as treason. Johnson doubtless hoped 20
bring him over to his side by this appoint
ment, and was perhaps opening a way Tor
Sherman g nomination as Democratic candi-
date for President. The Lieutenant General

Such an abuse of patronage this adj

rebuked. Advertising in the city af Wash
ington the sale of sit horses in San Antonio,
Texas, thousand miles or more away, is
ridiculous enough but it is made more
ridiculous if possible, by the appearance Of
the advertisement the day the sale was to

make it pay, but, we submit, such donations
