The COME dcrate Trcasurc-1hc
AmOunf-RepIy 10 Statement i'm the
phiIadeIDlhia Press"

The Philadelphia Press represents Gen-
eral Joseph Johnston rs making the follow
ing statement with regard TO the amount
Of treasure i'm the possession OF the Confede-
rate Government at the close OF the war,
and which was carried South under the
charge OF President Davis: L" He told me
General BeauregardD that he was con-
WINGED that the President had S2.500,00O in
specie at Greensboro" General Johnston
is then represented as saying 81 have no
doubt but that General Beauregard's esti-
mate was within bounds"
In view OF the foregoing publication,
feel it to be a duty that | owe TO the late
President, as well rs to the southern people
generally, to publish the following state
ment, which | received this day from a
well-known and highly-respectable gentle
man Of this city. He afirms that the money
at that time in the Treasury was placed in
his possession; that he carried it to the Of
| fee OF the Richmond and Danyile depot and
weighed it, and that there was in silver bull
lion 1,400 pounds, gold coin 1000 pounds,
and IS kegs OF Mexican dollars contain
/ ing $1,000 each-the whole aggregating in
round numbers something like Sjj0,O00.
| This treasure was carried by him and
Others in special charge OF il TO Abbeyillc,
South Carolina, where it was delivered
to General Reagan. This gentleman eX-
pressed the positive belief that the
most OF this treasure was paid out TO
! the Confederate soldiers, Il large number
Of whom were in that vicinity. He
also states that Mr.. Davis was not at
any time with the train, and that he had
nothing whatever 10 do with the Coniede-
rate funds which it contained. If General
Johnston really made the statement TO the
Philadelphia Press which it attributes to
HIM it is now in order to correct it. a
publication like that in the Press should
not be allowed to 90 into history, as II
would be not only q libel on President
Davis, whose integrity has never been
questioned, but il would east a serious re-
Election upon the whole southern people,
whose chief head and representative he
was. NJ.

fAlIentown Republican,
The Experience of an Editors Wife.

| consider ii proper 10 put in good word
for st. Jacobs Oil, which do from my own
experience. My wife had rheumatism for
years, and suffered very greatly. She used
very many remedies without relief. Anew
months ago bought bottle OF st. Jacobs
Oil, and the success which attended its use
leads me TO recommend this article TO all
similarly affected. The first application
acted like magic, and the occasional use Of
st. Jacobs Oil has prevented the return OF
this great trouble with its almost intolera-
BILE pain. | consider st. Jacobs Oil great
benefaction, and advise all who suffer with
rheumatism or other painful diseases TO try
this remedy, and they will see for them
selves that have not said too much in its
praise. L. u. RIM, Editor.

Ex-Speaker RANDALL and the new Re-
publican Speaker had the other day little
bout in which Mr.. RANDALL showed him.
self master Of the situation. We regret
that we have not room to copy from the
Confessional Record the report OF the
proceedings on that interesting occasion.
Mr.. RANDALL is easily the leader Of the
House when filibustering is to be done, or
difficult questions under the rules arise.
His clear-cut sentences express his meaning
so precisely that there can never be doubt
as TO what his points OF order are.

There is strong feeling among Repub-
icans as well as Democrats in both houses
of Congress in favor Of the reduction, II
not the entire abolition, Of the internal
revenue tax.-W Washington letter-Alerdn-
dria Gazette.
Let that feeling be encouraged and cult
waited. To abolish the internal-revenue
bureau would be to do the best days work
that has ever been done for this country.
Besides having the effect OF promoting
economy, it would be Il vast relief to the
tobacco-pIanters OF Virginia and other
States, as well as several other classes OF
PEOPLE. We fear, however, that the Ga
zett6S correspondents hopes will not be
realized.

The January No. OF The North Ameri-
can Reuielo contains, among other articles,
one from the pen of f. G. RUFFIN, who
was during the war between the States
Northumberland in the Confederate Blu
Yeau of Subsistence. This article will at
tract general attention in the South. 1t Is
interesting reading; but not pleasant read
ing by any means. 1t tells of weakness in
high places. Wewere sorry to read General
JOE JoHNsToN's remarks about Mr.. DAVIS
as they were reported the other day in the
Philadelphia Press. But we cannot say
the same OF the paper before US. Mr.. RUIZ
Pin merely recounts facts. We had in
tended TO make a synopsis OF Mr.. RUFFIN's
paper, but find that we are unable to do
so. II will not lack for readers, however,
since it accounts for things in the eXpe-
rience of the Confederate States which
would else be unaccountable.

Too Complicated

IN Mr.. RrppLEpERaER's bin 10 require
.ounop.holder 10 go into court OF justice
and submit the question OF The genuine
NESS OF his coupons to jury composed,
NO, Of experts, but Of men who arc totally
sncompctent to decide such question, we
mnst saw. as Mr.. THURMAN used to say IN
The United States Senate OF so many tmhgs,
that at won't do" The purpose 10 eVade

is an attack upon the judiciary oe-
rnrfment OF the Government, ana
cannot be regarded as anything less
than an attempt to set aside contract, ana
10 sci il aside in contempt OF the decision
of the highest court in the state that 'iial
contract Is a valid and binding one, ana
one protected by the Constitution OF the
limited states. II would be amusing, II 1t
were not so serious matter, to see Jury
Of men who had never handled a coupon III
their lives passing upon the genuineness OF
the coupons offered by experts in coupons
in payment Of taxes due 10 the Common
wealth.
We are not prepared to say that the Dill
in question could not be made an allowable
ono. The objection we raise TO il is that II
provides method VIGOROUSLY improper,
unreliable. and unworthy of respect, for
deciding whether coupons arc genuine or
not. The means provided are not calcu-
lated TO accomplish the object profeSsedly
had in view. Whilst decision is called
for which none but experts can inteill-
gently render, the work OF these experts is
by the very terms Of the law turned over
TO jury OF non-eXperts.
II may be replied that there are experts
in almost every county, and that the test'-
mony of these could be laid before the
Jury. But why not let the experts them
selves decideY They are the only persons
qualified TO render a decision Just to the
eoupon-holder as well as TO the Common
wealth.
But, after all, one OF the Auditors or the
Treasurer, or two Of the three, are the
yroper persons TO decide the question
which Mr.. RIDDLEBEIGER proposes to sub
init 10 jury. II constitutional bill can
be framed having for its object the ascer-
tainment OF the genuinehess Of coupons
rendered in payment OF taxes, such bill
would necessarily specify the officers who
now have the right TO reject counterfeit
ones as the proper persons to decide the
questions which the bill we object to refers
20 the decision Of jury. We do not know
that the courts would hold 4 law to be
constitutional which would forbid any cou-
pons to be received for taxes unless their
commences were certified by the Auditor
And vet we do not see why such law
might not be held TO be constitutional I'M
less, indeed, like the bill before us, it pro-
vided for such large fees as would indicate
purpose to render the coupons yalueless
rather than desire TO ascertain whether
they were genuine or not.
However, as Mr.. SCOTT said on Tuesday,
we turn over the debt question to the Re
adiUsters. II they settle it, they will sur
prise us as much as they will themselves.

SO ho where are those temporary
loan certificates? Mr.. RIDDLKBERGER
leaves them out Of his new bill, as we so
often predicted he would. The old bill
said there should be received by taX-col-
iectors:
"Gold, silver, United States treasury
notes, national bank currency, and the
tempOr0ry-ioan certificates as hereinafter
presided, and nothing else"
The new bill leaves out the words in
italics. And yet we were assured that that
ridiculous scheme was the persuasive fea-
fure Of the measure.

A Room for Gentlemen.

An agency in Paris furnishes men to
make calls at a fixed rate per hour. If
this conventional sort of sham visiting is
insisted on no American city, say of
$4,000 inhabitants and over, should be
without so admirable an arrangement.
It is true that few earnest men make
calls before they are married because of
business" and after they are married
it is we'll known that the wife makes all
the calls in every wen-regulated family.
None the less, the unmade call is ter
rible burden on the masculine con-
science. There is first the vague feel
ing that he ought to have made the call,
the series of doubtful excuses for not
having made the call, and, lastly, poign-
ant remorse that it is now too late to
make any call. Under these successive
shocks a social conscience, scared as
with hot iron, is at last developed. and
man gracefully accepts all manner of
hospitality, from a dinner down, with
never call to acknowledge the debt.
An agency will cure this after fashion,
and an agent" calls executed with
neatness and dispatch would probably
learn how to leave, when to leave, and,
above all, not to sit and say nothing, 81

The Monkey at Home.

When they are engaged upon any
very daring raid monkeys place senti-
nels upon the neighboring trees and
heights, to give them timely warning
of approaching danger; and should
they be surprised through any fault
of these sentinels, the luckless indi-
vidual is either severely punished Or
in some cases, it is declared, is put to
death for his neglect of the public
safety. According to some accounts
these raiders will sometimes form
long chain, extending from the field
or garden they are plundering toward
their own place of abode, and toss the
fruits of their robbery from one to
the other, till collected together and
deposited in a place of safety. BY
this cooperative system they are en-
abled to carry off much larger booty
than they could if each one only took
sufficient for himself. When leaving
the scene of their plunder, however,
each takes off with himself as much
as he can carry. Fruit and eggs are
their chief food. In state of nature,
