"Impressing Hogs ail Cora" The GAZETTK favor.-: its readers with two more columns of original editorial hysterics, and a column and a half 0/ revised and amended paralogy on tha subject of ''Money or Men." The GAZETTK believes in cutting the dog's tail off l».y inches, under the system of taxation now in vogue. Because the Government did not daro to treat properly with the same severitj' that it treated men, it now inflicts upon the labor of the country the payment over and over of a debt made double or treble what it should have been by the nation's cringing to money in time of war. The debt has already been puid in gold interest, and the principal remains. Tho Government should have put the burden of the war a3 heavily on property as ou humanity, it should not havo made pork and corn and dollars sacred above men. If this be Communism, so much the better for Communism.—[Express.

This is our communistic neighbors contribution to the literature of martial law as a safer and batter, and more equitable system than civil law.

It still ignores the fact, that Government treated all men alike in impressing them. It tries to excite class predjudice by essuming, what is false and what it kuows to be false that there wsu no class distinguished from all other classes*, whiuh in personal service was not compelled to lend a helping hand, This is a piece of demagogism, seen through by its readers, and for which they must in time learn to despise its author.

As 10 the interest already paid equaling fhe loan, aud the principal still rem inlru unpaid, that might be a question for dispute. But we have no present purpose of discussing the fact. It may, or may not be so. If it is meant to refer to the whole debt, it is false But true or false, the theory the Express bulids up therefrom, is as false as the bottomless pit. Proudhon's disciple says that when tlie interest which has been paid ou a loan, equals the loan, the debt should be extinguished. What the contract was, makes no difference. Agreements are nothing. Honor is 110thf. A borrowers word is nothing.

Jjo matter what the agreement is, between debtor and creditor in mak* ng the debt, when the Express hud paid in interest ou a note, a turn equaling the face of the note, it has paid the note. '1 his is a pretty theory. Of course when a debtor comes to pay a debt, as we very seriously question if anything of that kind would ever happen in the communistic Utopia of the Express,he would insist upon having deducted from the face of the note, a suui tquxl to the aggravate interest paid. Apparently, money is a drutr in the market which men desire to be rid of. On no other hypothesis eau we imagine any one ever loaning his money. It is a lovely 1 heory, and we commend it to the prayerful attention of all unfortuuate persous holding the notes of Communistis.

By the same reasoning the Express uses in this case of interest, when a man who has rented a house for a number of years, has paid in rental a sum equal to what his landlord paid for the house origionally, the bou«e belongs to the tenant. But for the foct that, we knew the Express was vastly more honest as an individual than it tries to ma^e itself out as a citizen, we should ndviseMr. Ross to look ou-. for hi« buildingr. Some of these days tha Express will have paid as much in ren*. as ihe building cost him originally, aud then it belongs to theExpre.-s.

In very truth, the be3t tbiag for our contemporary to do in its present straight, is to confess that iisioriginal article was a pi. ce of demagogism, intended to arouse the passions of the rabble, whose reason it insulted, and was not desi^ued fot the perusal of sensible people or expected tostand criticism. This will leave the Terre Haute Journal and the Evansville Courier in a "devil of a pickel," but then who carps? Thev ran into the trap like ac up.e ofdonkeysar.dmay be left to extricate themselves as best they may.

"Commaill tic Swash'' Stave 1. The GAZETTE assumes that we have favored a bap-bazard and unequal iuipresstnenfc of property in time of war, without the responsibility of impressing officers, to any one.[-,-Express.

The GAZETTLI assumes that the "Expres« favors a 1 apr^-hazard and uueqnal impressment -of property without responsibility of impressing officers, in time of war, for severai reasons. (1st,) Because the Express de nounces the present sysiem^gf^colr

lectin? the revenues as an outrage. If there is a prominent peculiarity a bout the present system, it lies iu the immense pains which is taken under it, to levy the burdens of Government equally upon property anil a

cording to rule, with great responsibility to law resMng upon the collectors of the revenue. For proof of the first part of this proposition read the revenue lawn, which the Express ought to be ashamed of it- elf for denouncing without acquaintance with their provisions. For proof of the second, behold Joyce McDonald and Co., When therefore the Express denounces a system, the three prominent aud exclusivefeatures of which are, that it is not hap—hazard Uiat it not unequal and that the officers tire not irresponsible, the assumption is warrentable that is favors a.t-ystem embracing those evils. Of course such a thing cannot be openly avowed. But every sane man knows that the subversion of civil law by military law, the substitution of "Provost Marshals and Recruiting Officers" for revenue collectors, and the supplanting of Boards of Equalization by Drum Head Courts Martial, would make the collection of the revenue, as compared with the present way, hap-hazardf unequal and irresponsible. (2.) Because the Express holds up as a model for imitation, the system adopted by the Confederate Government, when it was in the last throes of dissolution. Every well informed mau, knows as a f.-ict, that that was hap-hazard, and unequal, and that the officers were irresponsible. Every sane mau, knows by reason, and his knowledge of human nature, that it must have been all that, and could by no possibility havo been anything else. (3.) Because the system proposed by the Express was practiced to the full extent by the Commune of Paris during the late sie^e of that city. The workings of the system are written in the bloodiest chapter of the worlds history. 4--Because every sane man knowa there is less inequality, aud greater responsibility, in a word more justice and less injustice, under civil than military laws. We have been fools indeed if we have guarded so jealously civil liberty, when martial la»v, could attain ihe ends of justice so much more surely aud better.

Confession and repentance is needed at the hands of the Express,

Communistic Swash—Stava 2. "The GAZISTTE assumes that we have favored a system of impressment hy military force in time of peace.'' Express, Begging pardon, we said nothing of the kind, What we did say was, that to be logical, it ought to favor such impressment. That we did say. 'Ihat we do say. Our contemporary says that du/iug the war, money "sneaked, and hid, aud ran away," and that •'government did not dare to impress it." Taxation, according to the Express, is not impressment.

Moreover, it maintains that property—by which it means men well-to-do, if it means anything which we seriously doubt—was an extortioner, and men—by which it means the poor—were generous. Mens natures are very much the same in war aud peace. Extortioners in war, are extortioners in peace, and tho generosity of war does not addle iuto miserliness in peace. If now. peace has its triumphs no less renowned than war, government in time of peace has burdens to impose on property, only a little less ouerous than those of war. Why then, we ask, should not a system,. that would accomplish exait justice in time of war, and keep money fiom "'.-neaking and hidinxand ruuning away," he continued in time of peace? We have au immense aud onerous debt which the "people who fought the battles are being required to pay." Should not the system which could have prevented such a catastrophe, be used fo surmount it? Is it possible that it is less efficacious as a cure than as a reventive?

Again, if (he contrivance we have constructed in time of peace for collecting the revenue and trained officers, are both to be discarded at the first sound of war, why might not those "Provost Marshals aud Recruiting Officers" after an extensive experience during the war, be counted upon to do their vrork effectually and well in peace? If when untrained and inexperienced, anil working uuder martial law, they are better than trained and experienced officers working under civil law, why when trained and experienced, should they not be better than anew set of ci vil officers acting under anew civil law? 1^ training aud experience injurious? Is only inexperience reliable?

For these reasous we ha\Te asserted that to be true to its discipleship of Proudhon, the Express should insist upon martial law and Provost Marshals, instead of civil service revenue collectors, iu time of peace as well as war.

Communistic Swash—Stave 8. We believe that it—Governmentshould have made no natiouol debt for the people, in large part the very sol diers who fought our battles, to pay over and over aud over in interest.— [Express.

This answers a very important question and develops the theory of ir eommunistic contemporary beautifully. It would have carried on the war on the cash basis, paying up everything 'as it went along. In addition to all the burdens the nation oore during the war it wou'd have imposed all the burden of the debt which we have been paying since at the rate of a hundred millions a year. This is a heroic method of treatment and sounds well- The only objection to it is, that it would have smashed the country into "Smithereens." There is no need of arguing this point. The Express would have made the^eneration that fought the war, pay for it, and all during the four brief years of the war. The statement of the question is its best refutation. The band is requested to strike up that familiar tuue, "Hell on the Waoash."

TIIR dcseiple of Proudhon is begin mug to do works mem for repentance. It ad mils for the third time this morning, what it has thrice three times denied, that the possessors of "un worshipful and not-sacred-above-men, corn, hogs, etc*," did volunteer, and were impressed, just like those who did not possesss the unwoishipful and not sacred. TheGAZKITE sincerely trusts, that it wili grapple this truth to its poul with hooks of steel. We have labored long and patiently with the Express to gain Ms coover«ion to this truth, There is more rejoicing in.tbe

GAZETTE office over this'conversion, than over ninety and nine men, who eaw the point, and accepted the faitn at the first. If the Express should rewrite its communis editorials of the last week, w|th this truth in mind, many a prouj sentence would be dismantled, and be shorn of its faLe beauty.

•WASHINGTON.

That Troublesome Eiuma Mine.

SCHGVCK TRIES TO EXPLAIN UOW HE MAME I1Y THAT STOCK.

He Wil Come Home aud Meet His Accusers.

Washington,March 1.—Lyon again appeared before the Committee on Foreign Affairs to-day, and exhibited copies of Senator Stewart's letters, to which allusiou was previously mado. WiDness reiterated his testimony ot yesterday to the effect that Seua'or Morton did not receive any money, nor had ho anytning to do with him and Senator Stewart in connection with the suit of tho witness in the Utah court.

The witness then referred to a telegram sent to London in 1S71, stating that Senator Blair had introduced a resolution calling for an investigation of General Schenck's connection with the Emma mine. Iu a conversation with Park, the latter stated that he had fixed the matter with the Geueral, whom he bad induced to give him, Park, his note for the stock, and then to write him a letter saying that it' his note and stock wore not sufficient security, he would give a mortgage on his house and lot in Washington. Park said that he had certified this statement to Stewart, and if Stewart would do the same thinpr, it would dry up the resolution. The committee called to be read, a correspondence between S. T. Pafford and General Schenck. Iu a letter of July 9, 1873, Pafford wished General Schenck to givo him certain information about the Eir.ma mine, and repeated the rumor that Generel Schenck did not bona fide pay for his share? whether this was true or not, a countryman of Schenck's then in London, said that 5000 shares had been given to Schenck, to float the Emma mine stock, and that statements obtained from him and other confiding shareholders, large sums or money. He asked whether Schenck indorsed the acts ol these men, aud said if an answer should not be given, he would furnish a full statement, to bo published in the New York papers, and also call the attention of President Grant and Lord Granville to the question. To this Gen. Schenck replied, July 10th, 1873, saying that he id responded to the previous letter, because it was re spectful in character, but when Pafford subsequently attacked him in public prints, the publication being accompanied by inuendos, he could take no notice of his strictures. He, however, bad no objection to give Pafford all the information in bis possession if he would call upon him at 10 o'clock the next Sunday, his engagements being such that he could state no other time for an iuterview. The witness, Lyon, then stated that Pafford had an interview with Schenck, who told Pafford that he did not know much of tho witness except that he was an adventurer, and asked Pafford •whoth©* -his name and Stewart's were not better than that of Lyon, as tbey occupied high and responsible positions? Paffork said that General Schenck said there had been ihany current circamstances to induce persons to belivo that money was given to him to float the stock, that a countryman ot Schenck's had said that the latter's means were to inconsiderable to p»y for shares. Scheno^ informed Paflord that he bad a patrimony from his lather's estate in the shape of a coal mine in Wisconsin. On this he borrowed $25,000 to pay for one half his stock,and the other $25,000 he borrowed from Park,and had not yet paid him all back. The witness said to Paffnrd that there were no coal mines in Wisconsin Subsequently the witness tiled on McCulloch,of the banking house of Jay Cook, McCullocb & Co., when McCullochasknd him to "let up" on Schenck.and not be too severe on him, and said that the General was very indignant whenever the name of the Jlimna mine was mentioned. The witness said .in reply, that he was not surprised at that, and that he could not forgive Schenck for calling him an adventurer, MoCulloch informed that Schenck had denied that he called him adventurer.

The committee authorized Col. Gorhatn to inform Senator Stewart that tbey would hear him whenever he should present himself and the committee further said thbt Lyon wonld be recalled at that time, so that Stewart could interrogate him.

Lyou snid that this would be very agreeable to himself, and then resumed his testimony, repeating that Parke had often informed him that General Schenck's name had sold the Emma mine, and this the witness believed from concurrent circumstancc.

It appears lrom the replies to the uestioning of witnesses by members of the committee that be compromised his interest in the mine lor $150,000. There was great inducement to withhold it from the public lor about a month. Schenck's resignation as a Director of the Emma Mine Company, Park very much regretted, as the shares fell as low as 14 pounds sterlin'g the Emma mining transactions. American securities generally were much depressed. J. H. Paleston, ol the banking house of Jay Cooke, McCnlloch &Co., bitterly complained that their firm had bsen badly treated, having received only 25 000 pounds sterling for the use of their name in putting the Emma mine stock on the market.

The chairman laid belore-t he committee tho following telgram dated London, to-day, addressed to himself: "The'report of the proceeding as to Gen. Schenck's connection with the Emma mine, published in to day's London Times, states that James E. Lyon testified that I told him that! nave Senator Stewart 2,000 shares to become a director and assist in geitinL' Schenck's name on the board. This statement is absolutely untrue. I have never seen Lyon, nor hud any communication with him in my lifo. I never K»ve Stewart any shares either to become a director himself, or to get Schenck to become a director, and I give Lyon's testimony the most unqualified contradiction. [Signed] ALBERT BANT."

The above telegram having b^en shown to Lyon he denied ever having made such a statement. tiirani A. Johnson, of New "iork, who acted as attorney for Lyon,gave a detailed account of the manner in which Schenck, of the Emma mining company, was placed on the London market by Albert Grant's name did not appear tn the prospectus. The latters name was so disreputable in financial circles thatifit had been known in England that Grant was protector and promoter of the scheme, a subscription would not have been secured even with General Schenck's name to the prospectus. $50 000 circulars were sent out in a single day by Grant to as

i- ed that he was united with a scheme, at the bottom of which was A. Grant, whose dealings were so bad a9 to lead him to change his name, and forced his retirement to continent. Witness availed himself of the earliest opportunity to dis abuse the public mind as to the scan dalous character of this mining scheme. He sent out circulars to counteract tho prospectus of the com pany, in which he narrated all he then knew about the property. Witness then related a conversation with a solicitor of London, and with An derson and Pemberton, members of parliament, who had taken shares He staled to tbem, among other tliiug-j that Grant had receive 1 very large sum to float the scheme and that Professor Silliman received $5,000 to go out and examine and re port on the mine. The origional contract with Silliman was that if the mine should be Bold he was to have a further compensation of $40,000. There was also a rumor that Gen. Schenck received 500 shares for consenting to serve as a director Witness said to Pemberton, "You are a barrister, aud I am not acquainted with your laws, but if I was a solicit or I would put the strong arm of the law of Park and hold it there until he surrendered the money of which he had robbed yon and your associates shareholders." Witness never had a conversation with Schenck on the subject. In conclusion, Johnson said he stated iu his circular that ther was only one man in the world who could have the audacity to ask Gen. Schenck to serve as a directer of the company, and that man was Wm. Stewart

The committee adjourned till to~ morrow, but it is not probable any witnesses will then be examined.

Senator Stewart telegraphs from San Fraucisco that ha desires to testify before the j:io':.- committee on foreign relations in ihe Emma mine investigation. It is understood that Minister Schenck will sail for America next Saturday' and appear betore the committee in person. Friends of Gen. S.-heuck, now in this city, say they are iu posession of a letter written by Lyon, making an offer to ex Senator Stewart for $40,000, under threat of publisning bis Ryan's story. They also say that this story is impeached iu every materral assertion by every witness and document in the litigation now pending in England. SCHEIsCKCOMING HOME TO MEET THE
