A Worthy Object.
CHARLESTON, January 9,18C7.
My Dear tiir: From some charitable neighbors
mostly merchants-thc cum of one hundred and
sixty-seven ($167) dollars has this morning been
collected for the poor, the half of which-say $83
has been entrusted to me for distribution ; and I
know not how I can better dispose of it than to en?
list your kind agency in the matter. Please at
once find some of tho many needy yon know of,
and apportion at your discretion. It were unneces?
sary to Bay to you, my dear sir, that this contribu?
tion is for the needy, no matter whom.
Very truly yours, Ac.,
(Signod) R. M. BUTLER.
To Rev. E. J. MEYNABAUE.
Messrs. Editors: The foregoing oommunioation
Bpeaks for itself. I desire; through the medium of
your journal, to acknowledge th 9 receipt of the
amount which it enclosed ; and in behalf of thoso
who have suffered during the recent rigorous
weather, to thank the gentlamon for their timely
contribution.
Under ordinary circumstances, blazoning the
charities of those who are mm d ful of their solemn
obligation to God and His poor, would be highly
objectionable, {jut at this timo, amid unparal?
leled want and distress-affecting moro or lese
overy order of society-such free-will offerings in?
dicate that the selfishness to which the wreck of j
fortune and gloomy forebodings have driven many,
has not entirely destroyed that noble sensibility to
the demands of charity which once distinguished
our peoplo ; and, inasmuch as the example might
induce others who havo not yet done their duty in
this direction, to do so without further delay, I
hopo to be parionod for the publicity which is
hereby given to the matter.
Permit me to beg that those who aro blessed
with comfortable homes, cheerful firesides, and
the necessaries-in many instances tho luxuries
of b'fe, would remember tho poor, whom we always
have with us. And even thoso who have but little
to aparo, yet much to be thankful for, may place
their thank-offering upon the altai-a reasonable
service to Him who has promised to accept in
such language as this : "Inasmuch as ye have dono
it unto one, of the least of these, my brethren, ye
bavo done it unto me."
Very respectfully,
E. J. MEYNAUDIE.

night of tho 1st inst. I was sent on duty on that
post at 7 P. M. About half-past 9 P. M., being on
the north wharf, I heard a noiso, and saw mon run?
ning down from East Bivy toward a vessel lying at
the south wharf. 1 immediately started bvor to
ascertain what waa the matter. I met a man who
told mo he was Captain Sandy, of tho brig Che
buctoo, and that his first mate had been badly
beaten on East Bay, but that all were aboard now,
and there should be no moro difficulty. Whilst
talking with the Captain, I heard tho cry pf "Man
overboard I" Both of us ran to the brig and found
the mate and another man in the water, both of |
whom wo succeeded in rescuing. After taking
them on board and caring for them, the Captain
Bent for a bottle of brandy and poured ont some in
a cup, which ho drank ; he then poured moro and
offered mo. abont one-fourth of which I drank. I
then bade him good night, and started out of his
cabin. At tho nead of the ladder leading to the
deck I saw a man standing with, as I supposed, a
knife in one hand ana a steel for sharpening knives
in tho other. As I advanced he said : "Damn and
buggor > our oyes. You tried to drown two of our
men, and now want to take thc rest of us away, do
you?" A man standing near tho ladder said:
"No, ho helped save 'om." This did not seem
to satisfy the man above, who advanced, saying,
"Damn and bugger your eyes, PU have satisfac
ti on ont of you." I was alone, and all hands on
board wore 'drunk, and had just been in a row.
What was I to do ? I warned the man to get ont
of the way and let me pass, which ho refused,
cursing and swearing he d have his satisfaction
out of me. I drew my revolver, and, as soon as I
did it, my arm was caught by thc man nearest me.
Turning my hand, I fired at him, but missed him;
then covering tho man in front of me, who waa
still disputing my passago out, I fired, the bau, I
think, taking effect in the face; he fell, and I
started up, firing ono other shot up the ladder,
not knowing but there might be others there. On
reaching the deck I attempted to rogain the wharf,
but missed my footing and foll into the dock, ris?
ing on tho opposite sido of tho vessel, with my
back to her. Not knowing exactly my position,
and seeing a vessel ahead of mo, I swam to her,
but aaw no one to help mo. Hear ng a noise be?
hind mo, I turned, and saw a light on another ves?
sel, and swam for uer. At her stern I discovered
a rope, but too high to reach. I attempted to
catch it but failed, and sank. As I rose I took
hold of tho rudder, when I heard some one say :
"Another man overboard I" I can toll very little
after this. I had swallowed so much water, and
was BO much oncumbored by my overcoat and
police accoutrements" that, had I been drunk, I
must havo boen drowned. What has happened
since I was rescued can better bo told by mv
Ehysician and my officers, lt is only to-day that i
avo been able to leave the house.
Respectfully, P. EYARS.

[SPECIAL COBBE8PONDENOE OP THE DAXL7 KEW9.]
WASHINOTON, January 5.-Well, Cougress has
"retnrned to its mutton," since the date of my last,
and already begins to indicate that something is
upon the tapis, on t-h eroding all their foi mer radi?
cal legislation, and dcstmod in some way to star?
tle the country. The idea is evidently to forestall
tho rising of a new and embarrassing issue, and
by extreme measures to put it away altogether.
The issuo that threatens is based upon the Con?
stitutional Amendment, and it involves the dis?
agreeable necessity of Congress declaring definite?
ly whether the adoption of that amendment shall
be the ultimatium to he rewarded in the South by
admission to representation, or that there aro
more and undetermined penances to be inflicted.
It is to deliberate upon this very question that the
Republicans have called a caucus m the Repr?sen?
t?t i ve Chamber to-night. One of tho policies then
to he urged is, that the Reconstruction Committee
be privately instructed to report that in the senso
of this Congress no exclu led State shall have a
color of right to admission that has not undergone
a thorough revision of the governmental system
established by President Johnson.
Before this letter roaches you I suppose the
project of impeaching the Executive will be initi?
ated. At all events, Monday is the day named for
the introduction of tho resolution; and, unless tho
councils of to-night's caucus prevail against it, it
is certain to transpire. The prime mover in the
promises is a hair-brained Radical from an Ohio
district, named Ashley. He is utterly without
conception of the shock and nervousness he is
about to impose upon the people and commerce of
the whole country, and his zeal in the matter is
solely actuated by a desire for notoriety. He
boasts continually that, on a careful canvass, he
finds he can pass the resolution in question, but it
is barely possible that he mistakes in his reckon?
ing of the Radical hosts..for I am apprised that a
largo number of Bepubncans go into tbe caucus
to-night determined to fight the impeachment
down, as a projqct ruinous to their party, and in?
expedient under the present unsetUement of trade.
So then, if the telegraph apprises yon, before the
reception of this, that the proposition for impeach?
ment; has carried, you will know that that inquisi?
tion, destined to bo so bootless, was not instituted
without a division and demurrer in the Radical
ranks.
Thad. Stevens, it will be observed, seized the first
availablo moment in the resumption of Congress
to obtain tho floor, and deliver a phillipic against
the late decision of the Snprome Court, denying
the constitutionality of military commissions in
districts whore the civil tribunals are in full opera?
tion. As the decision was unanimous, it will
scarcely be very pleasant for that violent Radical,
Mr. Chief Justico Chase, to hoar from tho great
expounder of his party that he concurred m "a
decision not leas Lufa moue than the Dred Scott de?
cision, and nearly as dangerous to tho liberties of
the people." Binco tho delivery of this speech Ste?
vens has thought better of it, and ho still withholds
it from tho official publication for revision, fear?
ing that ita extreme violence may hurt his chances
for the Pennsylvania Senatorahip. Por the latter
distinction he has very little show. . Cameron,- bis
principal competitor, ia spending money like water
through both honses of tho Legislature, and will
undoubtedly carry the day. Old Thad.?atnrta for
Harrisburg on Monday, to personally supervise his
own forces in the approaching election.
The President, during theae times, ?B in a very '
complacent condition, despite the proximity of tho :
enemy who assail him "at the other end of tho
Avenue," and the menace of impeachment, of
which he is fully apprised. An impression that it '
requires a two-thirds vote of tho House to preter I
articles of impeachment, is very generally preva- -
lent, but I finu, looking at the Constitution, that .
such is not the case... If tho resolution be offered '
at a time when ? it must take precedence of the '
regular order of business, it then requires a two- 1
thirds vote to suspend tho rulos and admit of its 1
introduction ; bat a majority of ono is sufficient to ?
its passage. Those Radical Congressmen who, in !
stumping their districts last fall, proclaimed with
so mach thunder from the stamp that Androw
Johnson would yet be brought as a culprit before
the bar of tho Senate, to answer and dofond tho
indictment of the lower House, reckoned strangely
in ignorance of the law. The Constitution ia wholly
silent on this point, about compelling the presence
of the party against whom trial by impeachment ia
pending. There havo never boon but two such
trials in the history of tho Govornmont-ono in
the time of Jackson's Administration, and the last
in the case of United States Judge Humphries, of
Tennessee, impeached during the late war. Nei
thor of these individuals appeared, nor could their
bodies have been brought into Court.
The 8orgoant-at-Arms that summons Andrew
Johnson to present himself beforo the impending
Congressional Inquisition, will learn of these pre?
cedents and privileges with a promptitude that
cannot fail to suggest an imuediato withdrawal
from benoath tho Executive rc-of. With Congress
resolved into a Court of Impeachment, tho House
becomos tho Grand Jury, finding the indictment
and conducting the prosecution, the Senate acting
a? the Jury in the case. In all instances save tho
trial of the Exocutivo, tho Yicc-Proeidant presides
over the tribunal, but the latter oxcoptiou pro?
scribes that tho Chief Justice shall occupy that
position. Generally, tho House will olect throe
members of thoir own Judiciary Committee to con?
duct the prosecution, and the defenco may appear
by counsel and witness almost without limit. Thc
trial closed, it takes two-thirds of the Senators to
find a verdict of guilty, each .Senator, in responso
to tho call of his name, having to step forward to
the bar of the Chamber and exclaim, "guilty" or
"not guilty," as the case may bo.
Wita the patty impeached, tho Constitution only
prescribes removal from office and a disability to
evor hold'place of trust or confidence under the
Government again. And this proceeding, tho Con?
stitution avers, shall not prevent the arraignment
of the same porty ia any court of justice having
jurisdiction of tho case on tho same charge or
serios of charges preferred in tho iniictmcnt upon
which ho was impeached.
The snow and tho sleighing with which Washing?
ton was gifted on New Yoar's held on amazingly,
until within the last forty-eight hours, whon a
thaw proved too muoh for it. There is beginning
to be a faint flicker among tho Capital's upper-ton
doin, I otokening tho initiation of tho ."gaieties of
the season." lue regular winter receptions at the
White Houso will hogin within a fortnight, and
following in the same train will come tho enter?
tainments of his Cabinot Ministers. It is probable
that to Gonoral and Mrs. Grant mil bolong the fe?
licity of opening the season. They have announced
a series of three receptions for the winter; tho
first to be given on tho 9th of the present month.
Though General Butler is in town, it is probablo
that he will escape the receipt of an invitation.
About thia timo last year, and just after tho pro?
mulgation of Goueral Grant's famous report, in
which he characterized Butler as being "liermetl
ccUly sealed" with hie command at Bermuda Hun?
dred, during some portion of the last eighteon
months of the war, an invitation was sent Butler
to attend ono of Grant's receptions. Theiraaciblo
"Beast" immediately returned a note that ho
would tolerato no further intercourse with oithor
Grant or his family. The latter, in this year's fes?
tivities, will no doubt concede that favor.

Our New York Letter.
[VBOM ODE SPECIAL COEltBSPONDENT. ]
NEW YOEE, Januar)- 4.-The annual report of the
Police Board, just handed in, shows that there has
been an alarming increase in tho number of arrests
for crimes and other misdemeanors in this city.
The averago oxceeds that of the paat sevou years
by eleven thousand, but thc number of those
whose business consists in tho cutting of throats,
robbery on the highway, arson, burglary, and tho
liko, ie thirty per cent, larger than before; thal is
to say, small fry criminals havo beon doing a good
business, but the large dealers havo flourished in
a most extraordinary manner. New York city to?
day puts both Sodom and Gomorrah in tho shade,
and if it advances in crime as it has boen advanc?
ing for several years past, in ten years hence it
will bc as ordinary an occurrence for a man to cut
a friend's throat as his acquaintance.
It is rumored hero, and tho report is generally
behoved, that Ball, Black & Co. havo failed for
two millions and a -half.. If this be true thoro is no
doubt but that other failures vrill follow, for when
tho middle pin falls, or ono of tho middle pina, it
seldom falls alone, and Ball, Black & Co. was a
very important pin in tho mercantile bowling alloy.
Mon who oro better acquainted with business mat
tore than your correspondent-aud Heaven help
thoao who aro not-toll mo that merchants have
imported too heavily, that trade is exceedingly
dull, and that it would not surprise them to sec a
financial crash ero long. They predict that several
large houses will "go up," and that gold1 will then
follow suit, and go up in a difforent acceptation of
the phrase. You noed not be alarmed, however,
for I am willing still to roceive my pay in green?
backs without discount.
In accordance with an Act or tho Legislature
empowering the Street Commissioners to contract
for thc ropairing of Broadway from tho Battery to
Fourteenth street, tho fat job has boen given to
ono Charles Guidoi, who undertakes to accomplish
it for threo hundred and acventy-two thousand
dollars. Tho street will bo repaved with granite
blockB, threo and a half to four inches wido, eight,
to twelve inches long, and nine inches deop, to bc
set not diagonally, as at present, but at right an?
gles with the sidewalks, as it is said that by this
arrangement there will bo a surer foothold for
horses and lesa supping. Tho work will be begun
on the first of next April, and will bc completed in
eighteen months from that time.
Thoro Richmonds are in tho field as candidates
for United States Senator, tho Richard, Horace
Greole)', being out of thc lists. Ira Harris, thc
present incurabont, wishes to retain his position.
Roscoe Conkling prefers it foi* himself, whilst thc
friends of Noah Davis think that ho ia thc host
man of the three. It matters very little to your
readers or mvself which of the three Bichmonds
comes out victorious, I tbprefore dismiss the sub?
ject.
The gambling mania has even taken possession
of tho few Chinamen who are in this city-even the
Chineso indulge in faro ; they not only gamble but
they cheat-not only cheat but steal. A Chinaman
named Hong playea faro with a Chinaman named
Hung, who ought to bo hanged, and tho latter
finding that he could not win Hong's money fast
enough, laid violent hands upon Ins pile of green?
backs and fled in haste, richer b? three hundred
and fifty dollars than ero he betook himself to
flight. Hong has brought suit for recovery, and
Hung is now in custody.
There has been pretty good sleighing here for
the past three days, but tho livery stable keepers
I charge such exorbitant prices that none bat tho
rich can take a hired slide; a man named King
thought this a hard case, and so, yesterday, see?
ing an empty sleigh standing most temptingly in
the street ne got in and treated himself to a ride.
A gentleman named Lean, to whom the sleigh be?
longs, takes exception at the proceeding and pro?
secutes lung," whereupon the case comes up in
court and the Herald facetiously calls it a King
Lean affair. i
The jury of inquest held over the body of the
murdered shoemaker have rendered their verdict,
in which Uley find "that the deceased came to his
death by a stab wound at the hands of Charles
Manuel (colored), alias "Bummer Charley," at No.
46 Thompson street, on the 29th day of December,
1866, and they find Thomas Cook accessory before
the fact"
Tho Board of Health reports that many of tho
tenement houses in this city are in such a filthy
condition as to bo uninhabitable, and order that
their condition be imroediately improved. The
Board are much alarmed abont the cholera, which
is to visit us next summer, and are very properly
taking time by the forelock.
A man who stole a double-barreled gun on New
Year's night, when arrested and held to answer,
answered frankly that he did steal the gun, bat
was drunk at the* time; that he had put an enemy
into his month to make him steal away a gun, and
should be excused. The magistrate failed to see
the thing in that light, and did not discharge either
the man or gun. It appears that there was much
method in tne drunken man's madness, as he had
pawned the gun which he had stolen-thus did he
begin the year.
There was quito an excitement in Wall street
yesterday, caused by a rumor that the President
was abont to be impeached The gold and stock
operators were at a loss what course to pursue, s
whether to believe the report and buy, whether to
disbelieve it and sell "short" to those who did. if '
any there were, or whether to keep quiet till the *
news should be confirmed or ita falsity exposed. I
The majority of them concluded to keep quiet, and
so gold and stocks kept quiet likewise, and few, if ;
any,. lost or made anything out of the canard.
Wero the President to bo impeached, gold would ?
riso so rapidly and BO high that we would believe
that the old Confederate tm CB had come upon us
again.. There is no danger of this, for the Badi- 1
cala, as bad as they are, will not risk to take such !
a dangerous stop. <
A private party of gentlemen, who had made ?
some little bets on the yacht race, met, a few even- .
inge ago, to settle up and in said settling np the
comfortable little sum of one hundred and ninety- 1
five, thousand dollars was handed over to those <
who had backed their judgment on the Henrietta. ?
Who will contend that there is no royal road to ,
wealth ? Betting large amounts on the Henrietta
was certainly a very royal road indeed.

Jewish Reform in New York.
From a lengtny article in the World, of Satur?
day, wo make the following synopsis : In 1843, a
Dumber of young Jewish mechanics from Bavaria,
"educated, who possessed a clear perception in. j
religions matters," felt dissatisfied with tho care- <
less and mechanical performances of Divine sar- <
vice then in vogue, and they resolved to effect a
reform. Dr. LUDWIG MEBZBACHEB, of Furth, came
to New York abont that time, and built up the first
congregation, corner of Grand and Clinton streets,
organized in 1845, In 1847, tho congregation built
a synagogue in Christie street: an organ was pro?
cured. '1 ho biennial cycle or the reading of the
law, the memorial service of departed souls on thc
day of atonement, and the confirmation of boya
and girls, were gradually introduced. In1848 an
elementary school was established. In 1854 a re- -
ligious scho..l was opened, the days of attend?
ance being tho Sabbath and Sunday. Tho accom- 1
modations soon bocoming inadequate, tho syna? '
gogue lu Christie street was sold, and a commodi- i
ons church in Twelfth street purchased and chang?
ed to a synagogue. Tho ladies' gallery was now -
removed; in its place family pews wore con?
structed. In 1864 a committee was appointed to
revise the old Liturgy, and on Passover, m March,
1865, Divine service was hold for the first time ac ?
cording to tho form of the new prayer book. In !
June, 1865, the uso of the "scarf," and in Sep- <
tomber following, tho celebration of the second
days of all Jewish festivals wero abolished. Dr.
MEBZBACHEB died October 1,1865, and Dr. ADLER.
tho proseut rector, was appointed his successor.
In May, 1865, a law was passed ordaining the at- '
terdnnco of Divine sorvica with uncovered heads.
Tho marriage ceremony and funeral service were
?ut into a form Bruted to the spirit of the age. In
lecomber, 1835, they protested against the de?
cision of an assembly of rabbis, who declared that
tho Talmud was the lawful and binding interpre?
tation of tho Bible. In 1860 they issued a protest
against the endeavors of a number of orthodox
congregations, who wished to establish a head or
central authority for all America, to give decisions
upon all matters concerning Jewish Divine sorvice
and religious observances,
During the past year this congregation contrib?
uted to tho assistance of the needy Jows in Jeru?
salem $1,326, and to thc Jewish Orphan, Asylum in
Now York, $17,000. It founded the Emanu-El The?
ological Seminary. At Passover, it presented to
its Rabbi $10,000, and six months latex $3000 to itu
Reader. Tho new Templo, now in course of erec?
tion corner of 5th avenue and 43d street, will cost
some $600,000. The site alone cost $106,750. This
synagogue is to bo in tho Moorish stylo, and prob?
ably will be the handsomest house of worship ir.
America.
There aro now five congregations that mako use
of tho now liturgy, viz : tho reformed Jews in Al?
bany, San Francisco, Buffalo, Jackson, Michigan,
and the Portuguese Reformers in Curacoa, Dutch
West Indies. There is a groat wont felt by
both orthodox and reformed congregations in this
country for English preachers-that is, learned
and efficient men who must be able to express
themselves with facility and elegance in tho En?
glish language; and, as these are very difficult to
procuro, Hebrew oollegoyare now hoing establish?
ed by both parties in America, JOT the express pur?
pose of educating young men for the ministry.
Both branches of Judaism support tho Hebrew
institutions of Now York. The Jowish Orphan
Asylum derives annually $40,000, and the Jewish
Hospital $10,000 from tao several congregations.
& Movements in tho direction of reform are not of
recent date. ' There have boon orthodox and hete?
rodox in tho Jewish fold for centuries, just as those
divisions are formed in the adherents of every
other creed; but there never has boen any broad
concert of action in this field. Every ? individual
congregation has had to work ont the problem for
iteclf. Dr. STEIN, in Frankfort, twenty-five years
ago, was quito up to whero tho New York Reform?
ers are to-day, bnt there being no national Jenish
ecclesiastical" organization auywhore now, these
individual efforte nevor extend beyond the circle
of the immediate vicinage of tho actor. To the
New York congregation, we think, belongs tho
credit of having inaugurated tho reform move?
ment on a larger scale, and on amore thorough and
systematic Basia than was ever done before else?
where. _
Immigration in 1860. ?
Tho fallowing article, which presente copious
information on this subject, wo abridge from tho
New York Staats Zeitung, the leading German or?
gan in tho United States.
The number of emigrants who landed in the
several ports of the United State3 during the year
of 1866 was about threo h un dr od thousand. Far,
the greater number of these landed in New York.
New Orleans and Galveston had more than their
usual proportion. Immigration during the past
yoar has been greater than at any period since
1851, '52 and '58. At. that time it was so large,
owiDg to tho famine in Ireland and its conse?
quences, just as the events following the revolu?
tions of 1818 and '49 in Germany had led to a large
tide of emigration rr#m that quarter.. Usually the
number of Irish emigrants to the United States
is greater than that of tho Germans. This year,
however, the latter fully oquaUed tho number cf
the formor, if they did not tronscond it. For the
principal reason of this result we must look to the
late war in Germany, although the efforts of the
Southern States to obtain German labor doubtless
had its influence. In all probability the Gorman
immigration will bo still greater in 3867, because
tbero will probably be greater exertions made by
many of these said States, and there will be, more?
over, a largo numbor of tho people of Saxony,
Hanover, Hesse, Nassau, and South Germany, who
will resolve on emigration, becauso they like not
the new order of things, or because they have no
exooctation of a botter futuro, or of a lasting peace.
That this tido of immigration s could be directed
to thc proper channels-in other words, to provide
thc most advantageous pisces for tho arriving
immigrants-is a task, the successful execution of
which ia not only for tho beuefit of the immigrant,
but has a much greater significance, in BO far aa
it influences the equable development of our na?
tional resources.
A wostern paper has some very sensible remarks,
addressed to the laboring classes, in regard to the
groat and constantly increasing disposition to fivo
in large cities. It oxhorts tho laborers to avoid
this, and to ?eek employment in the country.
It has boon demonstrated that not less than
twenty-five per cent, of tho immigrants landing in
New York, endeavor to make that city their home,
and only choose or Beek another place of abodo
when compelled by circumstances. This would
give New York an annual increase, from this
source alone, of seventy-five thousand, which, with
tho natural growth of population, and the constant
additions mado to it fiom every part of tho Uuion,
is a much greater rato of incrcaso than at all
warranted by tho yearly incrcaso and development
of tho business of the city ; and the necessary
coneeqnonco must be that a certnin part of this
population must be without employment, suffer
want, and not unfrcqucntlv fall into vice, and
become guilty of clime.
This is tho case, to a greater or less extent,
with all the largo cities of the Union. The best
means of preventing an undue accumulation of
labor in thc large cities, ia for each State or
Territory, in need of fcuch labor, to have a reliable
agent in New York, who should always bo kept
informed of tho special wants of every town and
county he represents, and whose duty it chal? be
to endeavor to procure the desired foroe.
