Carroll County.—By rile jmM-mllnga
of a meeting held at Carrollton on the 4th,
.And which wo lay Isdorc our readers tM*

nominations liccdfdlngly. IAjt the frtenfl*

tiii’iACHYfKNT—>'l7ie Probable Programme.
The administration organs In Washington
and elsewhere are on the rampage over the
propositions broached in the late dispatches
»* the New York Times for the passage of
.a hill providing for the suspension of all
.Federal officer* during trials under Im
peachment charges, whleli they Haim will
result In the punishment of the President
before his conviction. In connection with
This matter, says a Washington letter. It
will he Interesting to know that several
prominent mem tiers of Congress have ad
vanced the opinion that immediately fol- |
lowing the presentation to the Senate of ar
ticle* of lm|N>nehnieiit by the House, the
President would lie placed In the same con
dition ns a man Indicted hv n grand jury
for any crime or misdemeanor* and its a
iiiituml sequence would be virtually under
arrest or lit the custody of the ollleers of
the House. They claim that the passage of
a Mil of the uature aliove mentioned is not
necessary, as the logical result, of iutitcach-
luent would be the suspension of the ofll-
rcr impeached pending Ids trial by the Sen
ate. They also argue that the President^!n
suspending Secretary Stanton, although he
acted ostensibly under the provisions of the
Tenure of Office Bill, lists established a
precedent w hich the House can consist-
ently follow, as they insist that if the Sen
ate refuses to •tiHtttin the removal of Stan
ton lie will be restored to the War Office,
and that if the Senate refttso to tind Mr.
Johnson guilty of high crime* and misde
meanors under the articles of impeachment
presented by the House. If they are pre
sented. lie would 1h? restored to his office.
There Is no douht hut what these views on
ibis subject will he submitted early during
Hie coming session, and may exert con
siderable influence on the passage of the
MU providing for such suspensions.

Good Ai>VICK.—The Richmond Whig
asserts that a strong tide of Northern em
igration l* now enriching Virginia, and
that it isaeeompliftldng great benefits for
the planter*, who have "too niucli land and
too little money.** The Whig wisely
adds:
If wo treat new settlers kindly, and if we
secure restoration and tranquility by going
through the reconstruction process with
out delay or disturbance, w« may at once
licgintorcAp the bonetltf of an hiimcnso
emigration, with all the capital, skill, en
terprise anil development that will accom
pany It. If we pursue an opposite policy
we must linger on Indefinitely in poverty,
weakness and stagnation,
ami to accomplish by indirection what he
has failed to secure tty legitimate political
warfare. The Democratic leaders of the
North, knowing full well that the conse
quence* of this protracted and fruitless
quarrel cannot, by any possibility, make
their condition morn liopele**, hut that, all
the 111* Incurred by It must fall almost ex
clusively upon the heads of the Southern
people, have allied tlictnodve* with the
President, and seek every mean* for the de
feat of Reconstruction.
I* it n«*t singular that, with the experi
ence i,f J.SiJJ yet fresh h; our memories, we
should longer continue in a mood to be
deceived and betrayed into litter ruin by
this party ? Who docs not know that, but
for the |Mipiilar belief in the South, In 18C1,
that the Northern Democrat* would re
main true to their pledge*, and thus be
come allies of the Gulf States in a contest
for State Sovereignly, we would never have
seceded and taken up arm* against the
General Government ? Who does not know
that this very party, which encouraged us
to go Into rebellion, acted treacherously
with u*. and piisilianiuioiisly toward the
Union party? And who doc* not know
that, to-day, among the ranks of the Dem
ocratic party, there Js a feeling of selfish
1 mliflercnee toward the South ami the
Southern people ? If Democratic leaders
can flutter and hoodwink us into their ser
vice, ami thus use us as pliant Instruments
in the work of reinstating tin: in selves, they
w ill have gained their point, and wo may
go to the duee. ii* wo did in 1801. If their
-elieme should Jill!, they id11 have lost noth-
ioij; thin poor South must receive the *Lripe*
provoked by their cupidity, whilst they
who originated the mischief, ami now
to keep up the strife, would be unmolested.
THE PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION.
The event* of this day. In Pennsylvania,
w ill do much to determine the future of the
Southern States. The Restoration of the
Union 1* the lending question of the day.-
A Democratic victory in Pennsylvania
would not. in all probability, defeat Re
construction; Imt it would encourage Mr.
Johnson - hi the work of resurrecting Ills
••policy.** lb* would drag it liefore the
INHiplc. and limmic emlmldcned to play a
desjieratc game for supremacy. Tills
would l»e misinterpreted by many who are
now disposed to accept the situation, whilst
it would confirm tho obstinate, and thus
conspire, not to defeat. Imt defer und pro
long the work of restoration. It would Ikj
accepted as such a reaction a* would war
rant resistance to the law* of Congress;
nnd Hits could hut result in the Imposition
of'terms of additional harshness upon the
Southern masses.
Our people should steadily keep In view
one fact: Let the elections In Pennsylva
nia and other Northern States go a* they
may. the present Congress will remain iin-
elmnged for nearly two years to come. Mr.
Johnson's “policy” Is among tho thing*
that were. \Ve might us well undertake
to resurrect the Issues of 1830, as to go
hack to 1863. The country lias got beyond
thoM* periods. It is* useless to look back.—

In Missouri it is rcimrteil at from 12,000

Petroleum as Fuel.—A trial of the cap
abilities of iictroleuin a* a fuel for produc
ing steam was made on one of tho •‘dum
my” locomotive* on tho Hudson River
Railroad on Wednesday. The mode of us
ing the petroleum was the method introduc
ed and patented by 31r. Calvin Pepper, and
Its chief peculiarity consists in thedispen-
alng of all the ordinary ‘•burners*’and ••re
torts,” and burning the oil in connection
with water, from a surface of sand. The
grate and ash-pan of tho furnace had been
removed, and in their place wax substitut
ed a circular pan of cast-iron, about eigh
teen inches in diameter and eight inches
in depth, having a jiorforatcd bottom, ci
cred with a disk of wire gunge. The j
Is tilled with coarse sand, and the oil Is
conducted from its receptacle, through a
pipe. Into a mass of sand. Another pipe
conducts water from tho tank of the loco
motive into the sand, and the oil rises to
the top of the water, and burns on the sur
face of the sand. The water, beside* ftir-
nlslilng a convenient means of controllng
the strength of the lire, also becomes de-
coiuposciFby the heat, and aid* the com-
bustiou of the oil. The bottom of the fire
box Is made air-tight, and a blower, driven
by steam power, furnishes a draft, which
may bo regulated at pleasure. If prefer
red, the exhaust steam from tho engine, or
a steam-Jet^from the boiler, may bo used to
supply tlie draff. The boiler used in the
experiments of Wednesday was of tho un-
rlgnt tabular style, about four fret In di
ameter. ami about ten feet in length, and
two-thirds filled with cold water at the
6bmmcncement of the experiments.—
Twelve quarts of crude petroleum nnd
three quarts of gasoline for lighting were
poured upon the sand In the fire-box. In
15 minutes’ time from the application of
tho match, va|H»ur licgan to show at the
upiXr gunge-cock, hi about 38 minutes,
with an efficient draff of air. the gunge in
dicated 5 pounds pressure of steam, and In
00 minutes it had risen to 30 i>ound*.—
Wnftt the pressure reached 110 pounds, the
locomotive was started, and run about 20
minutes, when it was found that the appa
ratus for supplying tho air-draff was sodc-
llclent that the supply of steam could not
bo maintained. Further experiments were
therefore postponed to another day.—
Though tho fire wn* kept up nearly two
hours, only about 15 gallon* of petroleum
were expended.
