WASHINGTON. The Holy Crusade Against Collector Murphy. JOURNALIST DINNER TO COLONEL FORNEY The Prospects of the Income Tax Repeal Bil Work of the American-Mexican Commission. WASHING TON, Jan. 29, 1871, The Raid Against Collevtor Murphy. B, F. Tracy, United States District Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and Chariton Lewis are here, the bearers of a petition to the Pre- sident for the removal of Collector Murphy and the appointment of Silas B. Dutcher in his place. The petition is signed by thirty-five clergymen of New ‘York and Brooklyn, It is claimed that the removal of Murphy and the appointment of Dutcher would heal the divisions in the republican party of New York and put an end w the squabble between Fenton and Conkling. With all the pressure against Murphy it is understood the President does not intend to remove Dim. Its suspected that the preachers want Mur- phy out because of his actuvity in receiving the ex- ded Fenians, ‘The preachers who signed the petition are all Protesianis, whereas the exiles are supposed to be Roman Catholics, The Income Tax Repeal Hill. There 1s a good deal of speculation as to what ac- tion the Senate will take relative to the return by the House of the bill to abolish the tax on incomes, Those Senators who opposed the repeal of the income tax are secretly pleased with the action of the House, because it is thought it wili defeat the at- tempt to repeal the income tax. ‘The question as to whether the Senate will recede from its action is regarded as doubtful. It will be held that the repeal of the income tax does not come within the pale of that part of the constitution which makes it obliga- tory upon tne House of Representatives to originare buls of revenue, and that therefore the Senate had ® right to originate and pass the bill. The American and Mexican Claims Commis- sion. ‘The magnitude and importance of the business before the American apd Mexican Claims Oomumis- sion has exceeded ail expectation. The treaty of July 4, 1865, under which it 1s acting, was framed for the purpose of settling ail claims of the citizens of either country against the government of the omer which had arisen since the 2a of February, 1848, The ciaims prior to that date had been settled through previous commissions. By the treaty either government was authorized to refer to the commls- sion all claims on the part of its citizens against the other which had been presented before the date of the treaty, as well as all ciaims on the part of citizens of elther country against the other which might be presented within eight months after the first meeting of the commissioners, or within a further period, if not more than three months thereafter, in proper cases, The commis- sion organized on the 3ist of February, 1869, On the 13th of August the government of the United States referred some three hundred anda fifty-eignt cases, the whole number of american claims which had up to that time been brought to its attention. Between that date and the Sist March, 1870, when the eight months for the first meeting expired, some five hundred and fifty-seven other American claims, not previously presented to the gov- ernment of the United States, were re- ferred, the greater number, more than one-half, of these coming to the notice of the gov- ernment and being referred a tew days before the expiration of the six months, the commissioners having extended the time for referring claims to the seth of June, 1870; the fall perio of three months after the expiration of elgnt months from the organization there were presented to the gov- ernment of the United States and referred to the commission some 121 additional American claims. The docket of American claims thus ex- hibited some 1,017 claims against Mexico. On the part of Mexican citizens against the United States there are some 910 claims or about twelve hundred separate cases. As the proofs in support of claims were in but few in- stances presented with the statements of the claims, the commission allowed the claimants to file and perfect their proofs after the reference of their cases by the government. They also provided that the de- fensive evidence on the part of the government against which a claim was preferred should be filed within four months after the claimant gave notice that he had closed his proofs. The commission, having adjourned on the 29th of December, 1869, to give the claimants time to file their proofs, met on the 20th of June, 1870, when four American cases, but no Mexican cases, had matured for hearing. From September 1, 1870, to the present time the commissioners have been in session considering the questions of law raised by the several counsel of the two governments, On veme leading questions they have been divided in ppinion, and referred them to the umpire, Dr. Fran- tis Lieber, of New York, for decision. The argu. ments of counsel of the governmenjs before the commissioners and the umpire are all in writing. Bach government Is deeply interested in having cor- rect awards; not only on account of questions of public law involved, but also on account of its rela- tions, under the treaty, to the claims in favor ot which awards may be made. More dificult and intri- cate questions of international law were never raised before any previous commission. The claims on the partof Mexican citizens against the United States consist of various Classes, the most numerous being for alleged depredations within Mexican territory, comuitted by Apaches, Navajoes and other Indian tribes prior to the Gadsden treaty, founded on the Elevench article of the treaty of peace of 1848, ‘These amount to several millions of dollars. As the commissioners investigate the claims on both sides with great care and deliberation every safeguard against improper or exaggerated claims that the nature of the proceedings admits seem to exist. The commission expires by Imitation on the ist of February, 1872; out as the magnitude of the business 4s 80 much greater than was originally comtem- plated it is probable that the time wili be extended by @ supplemental treaty, as in the case of the British-American treaty of 1864. The Dinner to Colonel Forney—Reunion of Washington Journalists. ‘There was a complimentary banquet given last night by the representatives of the press here to Colonel J. W. Forney, on the occasion of his retire- ment from Washington journalism. Among those present were Senator Sumner, Colonel Fitzgerald and Daniel Dougherty, of Philadelphia, and avout thirty correspondents, representing most ot the Yeading newspapers of the country, Ben Periey Poore presided, In response to a toast offered by Mr. Noyes, of this city, Coloael Forney spoke as folows:— SPEECH OF COLONEL JOHN W. FORNEY. Let meconfess, gentiemen, that | lave a profes- fional prefudice against a public dinner, There was an aye—it seems Almost a century since—when I had a great longing to be invited to one; but that ‘was in she genesis of my newspaper aspirations. 1 cannot tell you how much 1 am obiiged to you for this really generous coinpument. 1 am not go- ingto say do not deserve tt at your hands; for Mere is not one man in this goodly company that 4 do not count as my personal friend, and to whose house I would not go, uninvited, if | happened in his town hungry and poor. [ hope you will ail be- lieve, if you come my road, that my home will be open, and my heart wari to welcome you. | feel, therefore, that it is rigiit for us to be together to. night. Shave been, of aud on, a quarter of a cen- tury hereway. I have seen, us you have, a great many changes, but that which bas most gladdened me 1s the rapid rise of our profession. You here at this board, each man representing a great paper, and so many trustees of the In terests and honor of your chiets; not a few, fitto be chiefs yourseives, have done much to ele- vate the character Of that profession. The very re- sponsibility imposed on the correspondents at the capital inakes them gentiemen. It is astonishing how apen in the hands of an honest man always appeais to his consctence. Tcan remember tne old * Ramage wocden press and the buckskin balls wath which J worked of many “a token,” giving @& toanedition. AsI stand belore one of loe’s fin tit creattos which throws off its twenty thousand an hour, I feel like standing before some genii born to annihilate error and to uplift the oppressed of all the world, I came first to the nation’s capital when most of the Wasnington papers had passed out of existence, all save the old /nfelligencer’ and the Glove; but b remember well the influence exerted by Dutt Green, the bold ability of Francis P. Blair, the personal power of that Mustrious — palr, Gales and Seaton, whose genie manners in society and whose scholarship in journalisia gave them such a prestige in all circles and secured to them au enduring fame. Party olicy had just superseded the Blairs for the ‘itchies, In tho e days a government organ did not need more than a year o- two to enrich the pro- prietor, The chotcest plum that could be given to the faithful seribe, democratic or wi Was LO ap polnt hia government e:litoy, with all the piling: patronage ef printing aud adverusing. ‘ihere never was & mere disinterested or simple. hearted man than Thomas Kitchie, He was suc eceded by General Armstrong, of Tennessee, equally generous and honest. IT pave often thought, if the Dui! Greens, the Blairs and Riveses, the Rivehies aud the Armstrongs, had had railroads, telegraphs aud short-hand reporters atgtheir command twenty or thirty years ago, they would have made Wasii- ington ‘city the seat of a prosperous and per- ole manent journalism; for they paid all their employés” like princes, But all these great agencies are the outgrowth of the !ast twenty years—may | not say 1, almost the outgrowin of the war? We had no such pen-photographs of Congress and society as we have to-day. Our telegraph news amounted, when it came, to no- thing. But now onr responsibinties ineresase every hour. Improvements in machinery, paper and type, In the ransmission of news and the education o: the peopie, demand stupendous efforts in proprietors, publishers and editors. We are trovping out of the reaim of Fancy into the realm of Reality, ‘the — only — intoleravce tole rated now 18 intolerance of loose writing and uniounded statement, No sensauon compen- sates like that which is based on truth, Keasders and ediiors clamor for the oid of facts. A ripe jour- nalist, like » ennett or Greeley, who pays tousands of dollars for a single accurate telegram from te seat of war, at home or abroad, receives more com- liments than a successful general, and is better, hecause ungrudgingly paid. And although in my own opilionh we are still too negligent of our influence and of eur interests, no one van trace the magical growth of journalis.a in this couotry and its magical improvement in style and temper without predicting a still heaithier and wore thorough revolution. in fity years, when our popu lation shall have attained, on the present raiio of increase, to one hundred and fifty miliions, the boy of seventeen to-day wili have a far difer- ent story to tell, God only knows what science will do tor humanity in the Interval.

Such a token is 10 my mind an example which must do much to smotier those <ifferences which unhappily too often arise in pubic life. Are We nov told tat we shali reap as we have sown, and his not our guest always sown the seeds of Kinuitess and good will, and, therefore, should he not now reap bis reward? 1 remember full well that in my early friendship with our hon- ored guest there were diderences on important questions; but | remember also tuat amidst all these differences there was @ constant amenity which made me always love him. He is about to go from this circle, by which he is now surrounded and in which he has so long lived in intimacy, to flud his home in another circle, and the best wish that I can ive to him is that wherever he goes he may find he same happiness and the sume welcome wich 1 am sure he has here.

Ican only wish you social enjoyment to-night, and may you go to your homes strengtvened in heart and refreshed in soul. (Applause.) Short speeches were also delivered by Colonel Fitzgerald, Mr. Dougherty, Colonel Florence and many others. It-was a very clegant and brilliant entertainment. State Expenses Daring the War.

This act provided for a duty of six cents per pound on argols or crude tartar. Under this provision has been heretofore ciassed crude argols and partiaily refined argols under tne de- cision that the term argols embraced both kinds, The act of July 14, 1870, exempts from duty crude argols and the Treasury Department has decided that argols partially refined are subject to duty at the rate assessed by the Collector at Boston, Admiasion of New Mexico, ‘i Mr. Chaves, the delegate from New Mexico, will make an effort to have passed this week the bill pro- viding for the admission of that Territory as a State into the Union, Personal.

A Scene in a Jersey Court—The Rebuffs His Counsel, and Denies Is Insane—A Verdict of Guilty. The trial of James Marsh for an attempt to murder Joseph Littie, manager of Wilson's Mill, in Trenton, N. J., on the 6th of December last, took place ou Saturday. The prisoner hatis from Blackburn, in England, and from his boy- hood he had been occapied with looms and spindles. He was employed about one year in Wilson’s mill aud was always gramb- ling. He complained that somebody altered his looms and that there was a conspiracy against him. On the morning in question Mr. Little discharged him in consequence of repeated complaints, and 10 a few miuutes afterwards Marsh approached Mr. } Littie, orew a pistol and fired at him, but fortunately the ball missed, Marsh was atonce collared and secured. ‘he Court assigned to Mr. Wilson the task of de- fending the prisoner. Tne defence set up was that the prisoner had a monamania on conspiracies; be- Meved that a conspiracy agamst him began in Bnglaod, extended to this country, and that his wile’s friends were in league with his enemies nere to preveut him from getting work or advancing bim- self. Prisoner was indignant that a plea of insanity should ¥e set up. One witness detailed how prisoner walked out into the yard star gazing of a might, Whereupon defendant exclaimed, “YOU ARK MAKING A NICE, SWEET MESS of this cause. What does insanity couxist in? se- canse a man goes out fo look at the stars, does that joake himinsane?’ Wheu a lady was giving evi- dence us to prisoner's strauge conauct defendant, after hstenmg to her for a time said, “She has a good deal of tongue, has that.” At one part of the trial the prisoner supposed that the mull iaanager and friends had paid counsel for the defence to prove him Insane, and he pulled out & five dollar bil and offered it to the counsel, pro- vided he would change the line of defence. Medical men gave testimony that the prisoner was sufering from monomania, but the jnry, after a lenginene: trial, found Nim guilly of aiempting to shoot Joseph Littie. Prisoner bat He THE © MINERS?

The Atlantic Steamship Lines of 1870. The Vast and Profitable Business Done by Them Last Year—Vessels Employed, Voyages Made and Passengers and Cargoes Carried Between New York and European Ports—Is There Room for an American Lino? Now that earnest and enterprising citizens of the United States are making an effort to once more obtain a foothold on the ocean, and are petitioning: Congress to enact sacn laws as will ald them in well directed movements to the end of regaining a luttle of the nation’s lost commercial supremacy, it May not ve out of place to give a synopsis of the vast trade being carried on in sleamships between this country and Wurope. The business is enormous and increasiag, but the profits go into the pockets of fereigners, who recognize with no little satist: tiom that the longer Americans are blind to their own interests .in this matter so much longer will itt befor they can reap any of the benefits accruing therefrom, —- During the past year eight regular European steamsnip lines connected with the port of New York from those in that country. Their vessels are magnificent productions of naval architecture and mechanical skill, ranging from 2,000 to nearly 5,000 tons burden, and year by year, since the merchants of thts lind were driven from the commercial arena by the cloud ef civil war, have been added thereto, until the combined fleet of 1870 represented 107 steam- ships. These lines all did a protitable business, and, so enticing is the trade with this country, their owners are building other vessels and adopting measures to add still other lines to connect with Atlantic ports, which may materially decrease the chances of pro- jected American lines. Yet the attempt 1s werth trying to restore our navigation interests, and perhaps the subjoined par- tienlars of the vast trade done by foreign bottoms in the twelve months just passed may open the eyes of intelligent legislators and representa- tive men in such a manner as to increase their exertions to do something that yet once again American steamships may be seen at our wharves, and going to and fro, as did our renowned clipper ships, weave the unseen treads of gold that link together nations widely remote in a community of Interests, The particulars given can be relied upon. They embrace the vessels employed during the year by each line, number of voyages made from and to New York, the cargoes carried either way, their charac- ter, number of passengers, cabin and steerage, from and to Europe, together with such imeidents asare of imterest. It was a year of very heavy weather on the ocean and of more than one terrible calamity. One gallant steamship sailea away from this port in the mists of the mermmg and the shadows of night and never more has been heard of, Nota plank. notaserap, not a vestige of the great ship. All went down into the caverns of the mighty and insatiable sea. Another that left us with a gallant crew, noble passengers and a valua- ble cargo was wrecked at the moment of making the land, and but one of all on board was saved to tell the sad tale. Yet the many Ines have prospered, and, while opposition has been rife among them, have been exceedingly well managed. In the latter particular any American company hereafter formed may wke pattern. CUNARD LINE—NEW YORE TO LIVERPOOL. Althoug . the oldest, the Cunard line still main- tains its standard of excellency among the rival companies that do the carrying trade of the Atlantic Ocean between the United States and Hurope. Its fleet of steamships are wondrous productions of naval architecture, while the government of the line and the direction of its vast interests merit unquali- fied praise, Twenty-five vessels were employed during the past year. Of their size, capacity, ac- commodations and beauty of appointment there need little be said in this mention, as they have repeatedly received their meed of admiration. Their names are Abyssinia, 3,509 tons; Aleppo, 2,500 tons; Atlas, 2,000 tens; Algeria, 5,500 tons; Batavia, 8,000 tons; Calabria, & Hecla, 2,000 Java, tons; Walta, 2,500 tons; Mar Morocco, 2,000 tons; Olympus, 2,000 tons: Palmyra, 2,500 tons: Parthi o» tons; Russia, 3,000 tons Samaria, 3,000 tons 3,000 tous; Seotia, 4,01 Sidon, 2,000 tous; ‘Tarita, 2,000 tons: Tripotl, tons, and Nem: 3,000 tous. These made the ‘aordinary number of 125 p: seach way, the quickest’ of which are crediied to the Scotia, being to New York in eight days, three hours and thiriy-eight minutes, and to Queenstown in eight days and two hours. The cargoes carried nthe ports of sailing reach the enormous quantity of 450,000 tons, bemg divided in dry goods, hardware, silks, <c.; from Liverpool, to the figure of 200,000 tons, and from New York, in cotton, provi- sions, grain and general mere! In the twelve ionths there were brought as passen- gers from Liverpooi 43,681 persons, divided as fol- lews:—Cabin, 9,156; steerage, 34.525. From New York and Boston the number foo's up 11,420, dt- vided—cabin, 6,270, and steerage, 6,100; the total number tramsferred either way being 55,10i—a goodly exnibit indeed. In these operations it ts but just to say that not a life was lost nor a limb Maimed. The sieamsnips Algeria, Abyssinia, Par- thia, vatavia and Calabria were the new vesseis of the year, ANCHOR LINE—NEW YORK TO GLASGOW, This ne in a few years has become one of the most important running from this port. During the twelve months just passed there have been in constant employment twenty-eight ocean sivam- ships, ali finely constructed and fitted up with every comfor) and luxury long expenence could suggest. Their names are the Angita, Australia, Britannia, Caledonia. Columbia, Europa, India, Ismailia, Towa, Scandinavia, Scotia, Acudia, Dacian, Dido, Dom Pedro, Dorian. Genova, Livorno, Mace- don, Messina, Napoli, Rom Spartan. Sidontan, ‘Trojan, Tynan, Valetta and Venezia. They are from 1,000 to 3,000 tons burden. ‘The route of these vessels 18 from New York to Glasgow, calling at L donderry to land and embark passengers. In con- nection with the Glasgow trafic there are branch unes to various parts of Europe. By one—the Northern Scandinavian—they despatch two or three steamers monthly, connecting with arrivals from New York, to the several ports of Grauton, Chris- ttansand, Christiana and Gottenburg. Another line is that between Glasgow aud ports in tue Meuiter- ranean, Which maintains a weekly communication with New York, bringing as cargoes macn of the rich fruits and productions of Southern Europe. These steamships during the year 170 made 102 voyages from New York to Glasgow, and from Gias- gow and the Mediterranean ports 103 voyages to New York. fhe quickest of these passages was made by the Angila, being from port to port in mine days and six hours. The cargoes carried averaged about 1,500 tons each trip. ‘To New York they brought goods in measurement, railroad iron, Scotch granite, uuchinery, &e.. beside the fruits referred to, and from New York grain, four, cotton, cheese and provisions were taken. The year’s work in passengers consisis of 31,457 cabin and stcerage brought to this port and 8,149 sated therefrom, dl- vided as follows:--Cabin. 2.095; sicerage, 6,094.
