TI1B NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.
**?T&e moraiog dispatches from Washington
yesterday produced considerable excitement
in our community and prepared our oitizans
for the announcement of the passage of the
impeachment resolution by the House of
Representatives, reoeived at a late hour last
evening. Iq this action of the House we
have the ^culmination of the long con
flict between the President and Con
gress—the forme? struggling to maintain
the forms of constitutional government
against the revolutionary usurpations of the
latter, it is the first instance, since the for
mation of the Government, hi which the
Chief Magistrate of the Republic has been
arraigned for “‘high crimes and misde
meanors,” and precedent gives us no exam
ple of what is to be the result The ordeal
will severely test the stability of onr repub
lican form of government. Whatever may be
the result of the issue between Congress and
the President, the excitement and apprehen-
^ios.wliich it wilTtaBWtemong all classes of
the people. North and Sonth, will, we fear, be
productive of tUfeafilfififif cgnssquencua to
every interest, political, financial and social.
TUB COTTON TRADE
The recent rapid improvement of the cot
ton markets on both sides of the Atlantis is
the subject of muoh speculation everywhere.
Only a month ag(|mid4lii|g upland was sel
ling as low as 14 cents, with an apprehen
sion lAt the bottom had uot yet been reach
ed. Imt since the middle of January, prices
have generally advanced, standing now 10
cents above the lowest Jrot 5 of ^depression.
This change is due, Mh a New York jour
nal, to t£e growing c^mction in £ Dgland
that the supply for 181$ will be, beyond all
reasonabih'Soubt, a souily ©pe; increased
coiatumpiA,* consequfht' upon continued
large shipments of goods from England to
the East Indies and China; amcrantfng, for
the month ending 15th nit, to 124,1)00,000
yards, against 84.400.0Q0 yards foMhe cor
responding period last year, and-41,200,000
yards iu J8GG, and of yarns to 4,500,000
pounds, against 2.400,000 pounds, and 21,-
000,OQfl respectively; reduced supplies at
LiverpqGQPlight receipts of Hunt and figyp-
tiun, andtofioomy accounts from the South,
where tn% popular estimates of the crop

the compjfrativajjr small breadth of land
under-estivation. The stock at Liverpool
on t Up 31st aiU. consisted of 396,700 bales of
VB B MttWIalVA* PAKB9 ON THE
ADMISSION OF ALABAMA.
Sev^rid of the leading Republican jqfirote
at the NO*** 1 °PPOto Sherman’s bill to »ul-
nut Alabama Into the Union with her reject
ed negro constitution. Having backed up
Congress in Its unconstitutional reconstruc
tion programme, they are yet unprepared to
stultify themselves by endorsing this last
outrage, so manifestly in violation ol its own
illegal enactments. The Springfield, (Mass )
Republican is very emphatic in denunciation
of the proposition. It says it is “ a fraud at
heart and a fraud on its face,” and as “ con
taining a lie that would sink, and that ought
to sink, auy party." It retuseB to believe
that such a bill can possibly pass through
Congress.
The New York Times is equally deeided
in its opposition to the measure. The edi
tor expresses the hope that “ Congress will
not find it necessary or deem it wise to enact
that the Constitution of Alabama has been
adopted by the popular vote, and thus to re
stove that State to the Union. Snob an en
actment," says the Times, “ would rest upon
a falsehood, and would be an set of bad faith
toward the people of Alabama. The Con
stitution was not adopted, by any process
known to the law under which tftfe election
held—and except under the law the
election itself could have no validity what
ever. The people rejected the Constitution
in strict accordance with the law of Cou-
gress, and to reverse that result now by a
new law would be a violation of good l'ailh.”
The Times thinks Congress now, siuce the
defeat of the negro constitution in Alabama,
has an opportunity to amend and utilize' its
reconstruction scheme. He thinks “Con
gress ought not to allow any overweening
anxiety or apprehension about the Presiden
tial election to prevent its taking advantage
of it The country does not demand and
will not be satisfied with a mere formal and
fictitious restoration of the (southern States
to the Union. It desires that when they
come back atall, they shall come in proper
spirit to share in the burden and responsi
bilities, as well as in the privileges of our
common Government; and the mere act of
voting them with constitutions they have,,
never adopted and upon terms which they
rejeot and resent, will never give the country
that harmony and content, without which
restoration will be but ap empty aud useless
form." - V
These are certainly rational views, but
in the same article the editor says “the
principle of negro suffrage ought not and
cannot be abandoned." He admits that the
tendency of the present plan is to give the
negroes supremacy in the Southern States.
He deprecates the giving universal suffrage
to the blacks and restricted suffrage to the
Whites*, recommends impartial suffrage,
With certain qualifications of intelligence,
thrift or industry, applicable to both whites
and blacks alike, or to relieve the mass of
whites from the disabilities now imposed
upon them, So as to give both rnces the ben
efits of universal suffrage.
This is coming down somewhat from the
extreme measures of whiteman-degradutiou,
which the Times has from time to time ad-
vUed, but bis plan still retains the most
fibnoxious features of the Radical plan of re-
all kinA, Sbf a decrease of 14&.260 bales as
©ompargl with the corresponding period last
year. The stock at Havre was 46,000 bales,
of nearly one-hapless than last year. .Stocks

On this side a simitar state of affairs ex

prevailed awhile back, has been succeeded
by buoyancy. There are now 4 faint indica

Removal of tux Capital.—The recent
action iu the lower House of Congress clear
ly Indicates that the Federal Capital will, at
siirntj future day, be removed from its pres
ent locality. The vote was strictly section
al, and stood 77 to 97—a majority of only 20
against the change, and that, too, upon the
litet occasion of the serious agitation of the
question. The fact that the controlling
power of numbers in this conntry is fast set

the days of Washington, as the political
metropolis, are numbered. y~ -r p

IMPORTANT FROM WASHINGTON.
ImpiMhi
■t of tUe Pmideat, Ae
Wahsinoton, February 24.—Sex ate.—’Hie
prooeediugs iu the Senate to-day were unim
portant. ? j ■ K
House.—The session was Cut up in
speeches ot 3 to 20 minutes. The speeches
were crude And' generally explaining the
pre-determined votes of the speakers. The
impeachment resolution was passed by a
strict party vote, except Stewart, of New
York, aud Cary, ot Ohio, who voted with
Democrats.
The committee appointed to announce to
the Senate the action of the House relative
to impeachment i* Stevens and Bing
ham. The committee appointed to pro
pose articles of impeftohment ore Bout-
well, Stevens, Bingham, Loggp, Wilfoa,
Julian and Wind. This Committee have
power to send for persons and papers.
The House adjourned.
The most profound silence followed the
enunciation ot the vote on the impeachment
resolution, i
Secretary Stanton to-day said he wished
the reporters would let him alone.
The day closes with Stanton dining in the
War Department with Chandler and others,
the President at dinner at the White House,
Thomas at his home, and everything quiet.
The President is reported aa saying that
he recognized no one but General Thomas
as Secretary of War, and meant to recognize
no one else. He concluded the interview
by Saying that God And the American people
would make all right and save our iostitu
(ions. , • >, hi. 1 ifi , f
The President appends to his message
nominating Mr. Ewing as Secretary of War
the assertion that he has not violated, and
does not intend to violate the tenure-of office
law or any other law, and argues elaborately
hiu right even uuder that law to remove
Stentou and appoint op ad interim Secretary.
The following is telegraphed as a ipecimsn
of to-day’s speeches. 4 IfffiYkyttefi Who waft
the floor, said : “I yield two minutes to the
gentleman from Indiana, Mr. Shanks.” Mr.
Shanks said : “Mr. Speaker, my opinion is
iu this emergency that this House should
speak but.one word and strike but one blow,
and I desire that the blow should come first,
lam tired, sir, of this protracted discussion,
which postpones aa hour that the people
have long desired to see. I am in favor of
the political death of Andrew Johnson, and
think we should vote this impeacbbir 1- "
out debate. I am not surprised that
commenced his career in drunkenness should
end it iu crime.” ^ '
It is stated that Secretary McCulloch will
races—which he- must know the white men
of this country will never voluntarily accept.
We give the views of the Times as a sign of
the times, not that we have any faith in the
“ little villian" who directs the politics of
that paper, in whom experience has taught
us no dependence is to be placed, and who
should “ Congress find it necessary or deem
it wise” to force Alabama into the Union
with the rejected negro constitution will be
as ready an apologist for the act—as ready
to defend that “falsehood” as he has been to
sustain his party iu all its past career of in
justice and infamy.

FROM RICHMOND.
Proceedings of Radicaldte.
Richmond, Feb. 24.—Notwithstanding the
snow and rain to-day, the sidewalks in front
of the various newspaper offices were crowd
ed with persons waiting for ana ttiscttBslag
the news from Washington.
In the Circuit Court to-day, in ft suit for a
draft drawn here on a New Orleans house,
while that city was in possession of tho Fed
eral troops, the Judge decided that contracts
made when parties reside in cities occupied
by different armies in time of war; were
null and void.
The Convention spent the day in discuss
ing the suffrage question.
The announcement of the passage of the
resolution by Congress to impeach the Pres
ideut, was received with demonstrations Of
approval on the floor and in the galleries,
which were cheeked by the Choir.
APPRKHBNSIONO OF WAR BETWEEN
ESQLAND AND THE UNITED STATES.
Some of the leading Euglish journals ex
press apprehensions that the questiou of the
Alabama Claims will be pushed to the point
of war between the two countries, and cite
tbe intemperate harangues of prominent
politicians uttered recently at public meet
ings and in Congress in justification of their
apprehensions. The speeches of such men
as Chandler, Robinson aud other Radical
demagogaea in the House of Representa
tives may well warrant the belief that there
it a growing spirit of hostility in this country
towards England. But if our English co-
temporaries were bettor advised of the char
acter of the men, the extent of their iefiu
ence, their motives and the true status of af
fairs on this side of tbe water, they would
Teadily be convinced that, notwithstanding
the unfriendly feeling that exists, growing
out of the impartial non-intervention of tbe
British Government during our late civil
war, the United States are no more in a con
dition to desire a war than England herself:
There is a dasa of politicians in America
Whose normal condition is beliigerancy of
•ome kind—who have never been at peace,
end cannot exist oxcept they are at war with
somebody or'something. They seem to
imagine themselves born to the mission ot
setting tbe world to rights, and since the
formation of this Government have been
perpetually at war, at homo or abroad, and.
although England’s turn may come at some
future time, they just now have their hands
too full at home to attend to John Bull.
They are engaged in a safer business just
now than would be a contest with ine
whilom mistress of the seas. It is safer and
more profitable just now to trample down,
outrage and plunder the vanquished and de
tenseless South than to attempt the much
ooveted conquest of Canada. It is safer aud
more profitable employment for them to ex
tort hundreds of millions of dollars of taxes
pur annum to pay the interest on their qou-
taxable bonds than to peril their shoddy
investments by plunging tbe country into a
foreign war. For their present purposes it
will answer for buucomb to threaten, to
brag and bluster over the Alabama claims
and instigate and urge on the Fenian move
ment. New England fearful of the growing,,
and fast alienaUog West desires more
contiguous territory. As new States come
into the Uoiog ahe fears that she will lose
her Moendenoyln the Senate of which tbe
great Wiest is so justly jealous. To prevent
this, little New Eagiand must have more
•rsa. fhia.sbe can ably, obtain by getting
posssession of Canada, and if England can

success of the measure in the Convention
is doubtful.

shall have resided in the State twelve months

Increasing activity in all kinds of domes
tic goods has been th«v-characteristic of the
past week, and this activity must oecoisarily
continue to increase lor some weeks longer
as the season advances. All parties—manu
facturers, agents, jobbers and retailers, to
say nothing of eppspmers —^eem to have ar-
rivnd at the .logical conclusion that, as the
raw material has long since touched “ hard-
pan,” cotton fabrics have also got past that
conditiuti. Prices are now steadily tending
upward, and stocks mqsj. very rapidly di
mmish, as purchasers come in from the west
and jobbers fin their order?. GQ&$ &wry! eh-
couragtog symptom of a healthy revival of
trade is found in the circumstance that the
large jobbing-houses now prefer to make
their parchasea at fixed rates, instead of
making an average at the end of the month,
as was so oommonly done last year. This
indicates a rising market, and is undoubted
ly better for both seller and purchaser. The
transactions of the week in unbleached
goods have been on a large scale, and prices
of sheetings have advanced full one cent a
yard. In bleached shirtings and sheetings
there bos been great' activity, and prices
have generally improved. The market is
well supplied, but by no means overstocked,
and there is more eagerness to purchase
among, the jobbers (than is manifested among
the commission houses and agents to sell.
Drills are in better demand, and prices of
both heavy and light-weights have advanced.
Cotton flannels are without any marked
ehange. Cotton jeans are more active at
former prices, but not in quick demand.
Stripes and ticks sell more freely aud. have
advanced 1 a trifle in prices. Deofmd'azid
cottonades are iu improved request, special
iy for the light weights.—N. Y. Independent.

couragement and hope:
We regret to see from the Southern pa-

□unt of tbe disgust which they feel at
the hArd and oppressive governments
imposed on them, and tbe general con

bad that they cinnojl possibly live
where they have hitherto pissed their
Uvea, if the curse ot absolute starva

of coarse they are right to moke their esefipe
from an intolerable situation; but we do hope,
for their own sake and the country’s, that
they will remain where 'they are, if it is
^possible. .Whatever of strength and influ
ence they possess is sorely needed in the
