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 4ave*heen ^considerably reduced, owing to the compjfrativajjr small breadth of land under-estivation.

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.

On this side a simitar state of affairs ex ist, goods having undergone a marked ad vance, and the feeling of despondency which prevailed awhile back, has been succeeded by buoyancy. There are now 4 faint indica tions of, a better slate of things, in business, throughout the country. Some of the manu facturing establishments in the North are resuming work, and business men express a belief in a good trade this Spring. 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 tling iu the Great West, is conclusive that the days of Washington, as the political metropolis, are numbered. y~ -r p Admiral Slmmes.—This distinguished Na val hero is in Macon and will favor the peo ple of that city with two lectures on his fa mous cruiser, the Alabama.

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. not recognize Stanton's official requisitions. 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 qeitber be negOtUted nor blustered Into a oemtoo oTbUf new Dominion to the United the New England politicians nte^ iq11 m iprr the work of inaugurating a “ - * Britain for the emancipation lie liquidation of the Alabama _ Bit, jadfcing by the progress which they,are making with tbe settlement of home uffafUe tp their liltlig John Ball will (PI considerable, breathing spell before Yankee Poodle nets earoeeMy to work to JtaMte him. ont , of hie boots.

The success of the measure in the Convention is doubtful. The suffrage question, the order for twelve o’clock, wasTurther discussed, and the first section adopted, as follows: “Every male person born in the Uoited States, and every mile person who has been uaiuraiizod, 21 years of age or upwards, who shall have resided in the State twelve months next preceding tee election, aud thirty days in tbe county in which be offers to vote, shall be deemed an elector.” The yeas and nays were called, but re fused.

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.
