Tblejaatterof the impeachment of the President is not being pressed at present. _It_will probably be started again and again referred to the Judiciary Committee where it will die out. The legislatiwf thela»t Congress leaves the Preaide^t. rather an unimportant branch of thegettoral Government and he is not especially anxious that his official mantle eTen as imall as it is shall fall on Ben Wade's shoulders. Johnson has learned that lie iaaj a master and Till perhaps behay#

W' the Legislature of Kentucky is 'cbtnprized of a prrc'ous set of fellows. It has been grinding away all winter at political matters, and accomplished little in the way of ^legislation except to pass a bill paying the

per diem

of its own members

in gold. The majority is pretty thoroughly rebel and that too of a meaner stripe than now eiists in South Carolina or Mississippi. Thejlast brilliant thing we notice, in this body is the introduction of a resolution condoling with A. J. about the passage of the military bill over his veto. About the only place now left where Andy has any popularity is the Kentucky Legislature. He ought to remove to "Confederit roads1' and take up his abode with Nasby as soon as his term of office expires.

THE Supreme Court of this Siate recently decided that there is no law now in Indiana, authorizing' the taxation of stockholders' shares in the National Banks located in the State, there being no si mi lar tax required on the shares in otber Banks within the State. The Supreme Court of Qhio, have also just decided the same principle, that a State cannot tax shores of stock in National Banks beyond the rate imposed upon shares in the other Banks of that State. The act of Copgress, of June 3d, 1864, does not expempt stock in National Banks from taxation unless that of State Banks is exempted In other words, it puts stock in National Banks on an equality with State institutions, If a State taxes' the individual I shares of stockholders in itb local Banks, it can also, to the same extent, tax those of the National Banks. The same rule applies to both classes oT stockholders. -v.» -W

The Bankrupt Law which., was passed by the last Congress is very lengthy and elaborate. It oonsists of fifty sections, many of them devpted to the minutest details. It is too long for our columns, and is said to have been too much for the President to read over before signing, and ,, that he finally approved it on the word and explanation of its author. We attempt only a statement of the leading provisions of the bill, referring our readers who may wish to know its lesser ones, to a copy of the acts, or to their legal advisers. ,/

The new law provides for the bankruptcy of any individuals, partnerships, and corporations. It makos two classes of bankrupts, voluntary and involuntary The District Courts of the United States "have original jurisdiction of the proceedingfl, and each have one or more new offi cers, called Registers in Bankruptcy, to assist them in certain matters. Any per son owing more than three hundred dollars may voluntarily take the benefit of the act, in the District where he reside*. 2e is to file a petition iu the United States

District Court, setting forth, among other things, hi* inability to pay his debts in full, and his willingness to surrender all his property to his creditors, accompanying his petition with a true list of his cred itors and debts, and a schedule of his property. Ue is to take an oath of allegiance and make all sorts of statements accompa nying his petition, which are to be verified by otth, The filing of this petition shall be nn act of bankruptcy. Notices to creditors and debtors are then to be served, publication made, and all control of the bankrupt over his property ceases. A meeting of creditors to provo their debt* and choose assignees is to be held within ninety days. Provision is made for the recovery, custody and disposition of the bankrupt's estate, compensation of assignees, &c. An exemption of not exceeding five hundred dollars, in household furniture ,(*nd necessaries, to be chosen by the assignees, wearing apparrel of the bankrupt and his family, and such other property, dot included in the above, as exempted by the laws ot the United States or any State, is made in favor of the bankrupt. A strifct examination under oath of the bankrupt and his wife, for cause shown, is provided for, and many safeguards resorted to against fraud and false swearing.— In disbursing the estate, three meetings of creditors are allowed, one in fsree, one in six months, and a final one when the court may direct at which dividends shall be made. The estate is to pay in full the following classes of claims in the priority following: the fees in the bankruptcy proceedings debts and taxes due the United Stutes debts and taces due the State wages, not exceeding fifty dollars, to any hand, clerk or servant, and lastly, debts due any persons who may be entitled to priority by any laws of the United States, the balance to go to the creditors pro rata as their claims are proved. After six months and within a year from petition, a discharge in bankruptcy, signed by the District Judge, may bo granted on the bankrupts taking a long and strict affidavit that he hat not done certain things. A person once discharged cannot take the benefit of the a^t a second time, unless his estate will pay seventy p?r cent, of Lis debts, or three-fourths in value of his creditors consent in writing. A debt created by fraud, embezzlement, defalcation as public officer, or while acting in a judiciary character, will be not be released in full by the bankrupt's discharge, but the dividend shall be a payment of that amount on it. A disci, a of the BANKRUPT OR a joint or partnership dibt GOM not release othor parties After one your fro:n the pr.sjftce of the -act no person can take th-9 benofit of it whose estate will not pay fifty per cent, of the claims against it unless a majority in

All attachments, assignments, cdtoriyaAce* or seizures of property procured to be made in contemplation of are^daclaredto be void, and punishable aa ofienaes. The bankruptcy of partnerships and corporations are fully provided for on a plan nesrlv similar to that of individuals.

Involuntarj bankruptcy may be decreed od petition of one or more credi-tors-whose aggregate demands amount to more than $250, on petition, showing any of the following facts viz that a debtor is about to leave the State with intent to defraud his creditors conceals himself to avoid process removes or conceals his property, makes a fraudulent assignment or conveyance of his property within the United States or elsewhere to hinder or delay his creditors, has been arrested and held in ciedidy for a sum exceeding one hundred dollars due on contract for more than seven days without payment wh in contemplation of bankruptcy makes any assignment or conveyance to prefer custody, whq beiDg a trader, or merchant,

banker has fraudulently suspended payment for fourteen days. The creditor's petition must bo brought within six months after the act of bankruptcy has been committed. Provision is made for the arrest of and imprisonment ®f an in voluntary bankrupt who is about to leave the State or fraudulently transfer his property, for taking possession of his estate and dispositon and final distribution of it, as if on the bankrupts petition The' act makes any attempt to defraud creditors a felony, and provide for the punishment of many acts on the part of the bankrupt, trustees, register^ officers of the Court

and appears to ijie Well

guarded to secure honesty and integrity on the part of all concerned. The act is a groat improvement over onr former bankrupt law. It will work well if it is not repealed as, soon as all dishonest peopjg have availed themselves of it, and if it is let stand and permitted to become a part of the defined and understood law of the iand. The- couutry needs a perma nent law, and time is required to see its operations and benefits. We hope this one will be given a fair trial and such amendments made to it, from time, to time as experience may show to be necessary to make it perfect, to protect the honest debtor aud creditor. -tar'

MB. EDITOR: It sometimes happens that our most energetic men and best workers, in public matters, either political or otherwise, men who are always on band when there Is any thing of im portance to be done requiring'management, and work, and to whose energy and skill party, sect, or society, is indebted in a great measure for whatever success they may have attained in their underta kings, are thrust aside and decryed as un popular, and officious by the croakers and fault-finders, who are found in all organizations like drones in the hive. z.ang ing round the corners with no brains to conceive and no energy to execute anything for the common good, but ready at all times to croak and find fault with those who have the nerve and the will to act. Such representative men are the life blood of the party, or society to which they are attached, and so long as thev keep the machinery in motion, and not usk any thing in return, they are all right but should some friends use his name for some preferment among his fellows, for which he may be qualified and entitled to the croakers assail from all sides, with, not available—good man,

make a good of

ficer, like to vote for him but he's been too active in our party, has stood right forward in the front ranks in defence of our cause, and has made himself unpopular, and I am afraid he can hot succeed. We had better take Oba diah Soapstick he has never done any thing to render him unpopular with our opponents, and it won't require as much work to elect, him as it will our friend, Reliable, although Soapstick won't be worth anything after he is "elected, while Raliable would be as we could desire if we take the trouble to elect him. Thus the men of fixed character, and energy are assailed, who lead out and give shape and vatality to public matters, and meet with unfaltering determination the attacks that are always made upon such persons even though they may come from those who should sustain him. Let a full blast of slander assail him, and not only his enemies but even those who may owe to him the position, public or private, he may occupy, lend themselves -to the work of defamation by rehearsing in a quiet way what his enemies have concocted for his ruin, men who have had fair reputation in private life, by accepting and performin public duties no matter how faithful, an against whom no act can be shown which would tarnish or sully a good name, yet by the insiduous retailing of petty slanders that gather as they spread until the

becomes a mountain, an his

name becomes a loot ball lor every slanderer retailed to give a passing kick. In all matters of a public nature whether political or otherwise there must necessarily be men to go forward and give shape to, and lead in every undertaking that results in the public good, and without the directing energy of such persons the public weal would bo left to wane nnddie. We have seen our boat workers in public matters shrink back when assailed, unwilling to meet and bravo the deadly Uupas of the slanderer's tongue, but how are we to remedy this evil but to drive the Slanderer buck to his devil's den where he belongs and save secure, our representative men from that vituperation and abu^e that is their too common lot. Can it be done by shoving them aside and put ling in their stead those already dyau in the shell If that policy were adopted how long would any organization have ntality enough to say, "I still live.'' There is to my mind but one true course to be adopted to remedy this mutter and that is for parties or sects to stand up for their tried and true friends who have withstood the assaults of the enemy without faltering

Since the passage by the Legislature of ohr city charter, our population has been increased by tiie addition of a countless company of real gnosts. The Second W a^d has the honor of containing the house in which our invisible citizens play their pranks. The "bouse is a small onesiory aud a halt" frame building in the estrenie northwestern portion of the place almost beyond tne city limits. Tiie present occupants, Mr. Mullens and his lamivery much annoved

ly, have of late been in the still hours of the night by unaccountable occurrences, rapid rnppings. footsteps on the stairs, opening of floors.

&r.

Dilicent search was made, but no human agency could be discovered.— Night after night have tnese uninvited guests of the shadowv world disturbed the slumbers. patedth« cheeks and astonished tbo minds of the rightful occupants of the dwelling. One of the strangest freaks of these "unknown and unseen" midnight

jlfowlers is to remove the beds of the sleej fering from cold. -The rumor strange-performances soon spread about among the country neighbors of course many were skeptical, believed it was all imagination and thd like, but the bop est, truthful stories of the epiritM-id&en parties were repeated, and the unearthly visitations continues.' «n«flly a p««y young men, well known throughout the county, determined to investigate the matter and spend the night with the afflicted family, and from these young men we have learned the particulars of what oc cor red.

One evening last week they met at Mr Mullen's,and nothing was seen or heard to disturb the sorenity of their minds un til midnight. The skeptics had begun to crow and laugh, and some proposed to go home and not waste time in such a foolish manner, but all were prevailed upon to stay. The boys and their host were in one room and Mrs. MulleDs and the chil dren in another. Soon after 12 o'clock series of raps were heard in quick succession. apparently coming from the ladies' room a light was procured and the apart' ment entered, but the knocking had ceas ed. It soon, however, was heard again, proceeding from the bed where the visitors lay—a muffled sound as if from between the beds. But the manifestations were not confined to raps. The candle upon the table leaped from its socket and fell to the floor—steps wore distinctly heard descending the stairs, but shape of man or beast was visible. The most skeptical were convinced and began to feel shaky, but the most unaccountable antic was yet to be seen- The host called their attention to a closet door in the room which shut very tightly, but which he affirmed, would open of itself.—: Against this closed door they placed chair, and in the chair whole ham to act as weight, and waited for developments after a short time the chair was shoved long by an invisible agency, and the door opened to the extent

three or four in

ches, right before their wondering eyes.— The cupboard was searched, but was found to be empty.

Now, this night's sights is but a sample of the performances of the- ghoata, or what-nots, which infest the cottage. The mystery is unexplained, and the most unbelieving are arbused to a state of excitement in regard to the .matter.

Interesting Correspoiidence 'be tween the President of the Amef lean Company and one of its Stockholders

Ornci or THE AMEBIC'AHEXPBESS CO., S3 No*. 122 & 124Broadway. N. Y., February i5,1867.

DEAR SIR—The Managers of the American Express Company have deemed it prudent and for the best interests of the stockholders to omit the usual quarterly dividend, payable on-this date, so that the entire earnings of the Company may be used in carrying on to a successful result the competition with an organization formed to black-mail this and otber estab lished Express Companies. Neither selfrespect, nor the permanent financial advantage of the stockholders, will permit any compromise with the already stag gering company, known as "The Merchants Union Express."

In making this explanation of the reasons for passing the dividend, it is due to those who hold the stock of this company as an investment to caution them against parting with it at present market prices which are much below its leal value. Is it evident that competing Express Com panies cannot long continue to operate upon the same lines, and it is clearly tl policy for this company to expend every dollar of its current and surplus earnings, and if necessary to assess its stockholders, to ensure complete and lasting victory rather to abandon a struggle which can have but one result. The circulars of the managers of the "Merchants' Uuriion, sent out as apologies for fresh assessments, and the advertisements published to bol ster up their sinking fortunes, contain positive proofs of their falsity. The ex travagance of their expenditures, the rec lessness of their management, the desperate expedients to which they resort to se cure business done at a positive loss, and to deprive other companies of the services of their agents and employees, by treb ling the salaries paid them, all attest the fact that they are losing faith in an enterprise undertaken to be abandoned when ever its projectors could command their price.

Under these circumstances, the Mana gers of this Company are so confident of ultimate success, that they refuse to part with their stock and it will be gratifying to them to know that their partners, who have shared hitherto in the profits of paying business, also decline to saoridc their stock, which cannot fail again to be come as valuable as ever, and that they continue t-o use their influence to promote and protect the interests of the Company

Respectfully Yours, HENRY WELLS, President, JAMES C. FARGO, Assistant Treasurer.

MERCHANTS' BAHK,

WATEKTOWN, Feb. 25, 1867.

Henry Wilis, Esq, President Am. Ex.' Co: DEAR SIR—I am in receipt of your cir

culars bearing date, .February 15, 18G7 saying "The Managers of the American Express Company" have deemed it prudent and for the best- interest of the stockholders to omit the usual quarterly dividend payable on this date, so that the en tire earnings of the company may be used in carrying on to a successful result the competition with an organization formed to "black-mail this and other established Express Companiei," &c., &c. must confess I had much rather have received notice that you were able to declare your usual quarterly dividend, than that you had foolishly spent all the earnings of the Company for the past quarter in carrying on a war (waged by you) against the "Merchants7 Union Express Company," and that you propose to continue to carry on tbo strife until you expend every dollar of the current and surplus earnings, and, if nccessary, to assess its stockaot'iers.

My stock in the American Express Company has already fallen in market- from &1,30 to leS3ti~an sixty cents on the dollar and I am now requested to still hold it until the officers hftve spent

the attempt."

If such a course will cause any stock to again become as valuable as ever, it will be contrary to all past experiences in the management of corporations.

On the contrary, if you would divide among the stockholders, the vast sums paid for publishing articles signed "PADLOCK," "STOCKHOLDER." and other larger and still more foolish expenditures, and $ive the same attention to the legitmate business of the Company, my stock would much sooner command a repectabie price in market, than it will under the present management.

SHEFFIELD SCIENTIFIC SCHOOL, ENATNNINQ CTRABTHTKT, TAI« CoLLSec, November 16,1866.

Ihev.- always recommended the pater polygrade lead pencils ae the only pencils fitted for both or» namectal and mathematical drawing: bat alter a thorough trial of the ACCXICAM PotTonsnx LEAD PINCILB manufactured by the AMerlCU iead Pencil Company, 5, T„ I find them superior tu any pencil in nee. even to the FafeCP or the old English Camber land lead pencil, being superior peneil for sketching, ornamental and mechanical drawing, and all the ordinary uses of lead pencil.

These pencils are very finely graded and have a very smooth lead: even the softest pencils hold the point well, they are all that can be deslrd in a pencil. It gives me great pleasure to be able to assart Americans, that they will no longer be compelled to depend u(on Germany or any other foreign market for pencils. LOUIS BALL,
