Thursday and Friday last looked r&ther squally for the continuance of our sleighing. Indeed old Sol with his melt ing smiles made rather sloppy work of it. lint on Saturday it blew, and on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday it snew, so that now we are all right again, and the bells gin gle through our streets as merrily as can be. Well, "let her rip." Summer will be here after a while. Cgi, The Delegates to the Conferences on Tuesday, spoke, in most satisfactory 'terms as to the political prospect in the other counties of the District. What are we going to do, Republicans of Monroe? We can do much with proper organiza tion enoogh even to surprise ourselves. Let us go to work at once and continue to work faithfully. Our cause was never more worthy of our most active exertion than now. Street Passenger Railway. Ou the 19th inst. the corporators of The Stroudsburg Passenger Railway re ceived their charter from Ilarrisburg. granting them the privilege to build a street railroad from the Stroudsburg De pot to the Fair Grounds. The names of the corporators are A. Reeves Jackson, &Vid. Hollioshead, Luther Fillmore, Samuel S. Dreher and Isaac F. Puter baugk. Operations will be commenced im mediately. Court The February term of Court commenc ed on Monday last. Hon. J. Pringle Jones, of the Northampton District, pre sided in place of Jue Barrett, who is rstill detained at his home ?n Clearfield by '.continued indisposition in his family. As sociates Levering and De Young were, a? usual, in their seats. Harrison Sabring, Esq , of Price township, was appointed Foreman of the Grand Jury. We will eudeavor to give a full report of the pro- l: : a. .1, ... jccuius iu uur liuai week a jjupci. CT" We call the attention of our readers to the advertisement in another column of the "Improved Star Shuttle Sewing Machine." This machine i sold at about one-half the .price of other first-class machines. It has a (beautiful, noiseless movement and does to perfection all kinds of plain and fine sew. g. The sales are rapid and there is an increa sing demand for the machines wherever they are introduced. Agents will find in the sales of this ma chine, an opportunity rarely offered to make The Conferences. Wc publish, elsewhere, the proceedings of the Republican Congressional, Senato rial and Representatire Conferences, held at the American Hotel (Knecht's), in this borough, on Tuesday last. All the counties were fully represented, and we do not remember ever to have attended meetings of the kind before, when each delegate appeared so fully alive to the importance of the work before him. The " f t- : l .1 j . best oi xeeiing pruveu, uuu me enmu tittm was such as to indicate the thor ough and most effective organization for ,tbe campaign throughout the District, and bie Republican days' work at the elections in October and November. Res olutions instructing for Grant and Cur tin were adopted without a dissenting voice. This the people looked for, and this, we think,-they will triumphtantly sustain. Better candidates could not Landuy Le je:refd. i Mr. C. E. Pierce, is coming with His Grand Exhibition, and will give a popular entertainment at the Court-House, on Saturday evening, leb. 29th. The entertainment will consist of Stereoscope Illuminations, consisting of Bible scenes, Ancient Cities and Mountains, and Natu ral and Phantasmagorial scenes, portrayed through an apparatus possessiog a mag nifying . power of over three million times. Mr. P. being a cripple is worthy of and should receive a liberal support from a generous public. The exhibition will be strictly moral. T Col. C. D. Brodbcad, has removed his stock of Dry Goods from his old stand down town, into the elegant storeroom until recently occupied by J. A. Pauli as a Hat, Cap and Clothing store. Wc ob serve that the Col. has abolished the Grocery business, but be more than makes it up in the elegant stock of Dry Goods, Yankee Notions, and Fancy Goods, which he displays upon his shelves and counters for the benefit of his customers. Remember, reader, tho Colonel's motto is " The nimble sixpence is better than the slow shilling." Sale3 of Real Estate. Geo. L. Walker, Real-Estate Broker, reports the following sales made by him: Feter S. Clitkner's Farm of 73 acres, in Stroud township, to Edward Weckes, of Brooklyn, for 2,500. A. II. Storm's Lot of 7 acres and buildings, in Hamil ton township, to Mrs. Elizabeth Wood ling, for 61, '225. Also, one Lot, 30 by 250, in front of the Brewery, at East Stroudsburg, to L A. Phillips, of Phila delphia, for 5260. Mr. Phillips intends building a handsome house this summer. Mr. Walker has now only 7 lots at the depot left, and these he offers very cheap. They will soon be gone, as they are very desirable lots for building purposes. The Lecture 1 Stephen Holmes, jr., Esq., delivered bis lecture in the Court House, on last Monday eveuing, to an appreciative au dience. His subject, as previously an nounced, was, Curiosities of Language." Mr. Holmes' lecture showed that he had given it no little attention; that he had spared no research to render it instruc tive and useful. He showed the differ ent meanings attachiug to quite a number of words in different periods of time. He successfully ridiculed many phrases which were used in polite society merely to hide the truth. Eve was the inventor of language, which would account fur the fact that women were such ready talkers. Adam named all the animals and things. but this he did before Eve was created, otherwise tdie would have saved him that trouble. The Heathen meaning of the days of the week was alluded to and cx plained, lliursuay was said to mean " thunder" day, and the lecturer inferred that the custom of washing did not pre vail in these times on Monday, or that day would have beeu called " thunder ' day. But we cannot enlarge. The lec ture was quite entertaiuiug and profitable to all taking any interest in the origi and history of lanuae and who ought not to be interested in this subject. It was a matter of regret that the weather was so unfavorable, which, doubtless, pre vented many from receiving a number of useful hints in the proper u?c of their mother tongue. This closes the course of lectures, which, when we consider the subject matter of the lectures, may justly be regarded as a success, but when we consider the sum realized for the ob ject which gave rise to them, we fear that they were not quite as successful as they might and should have been. The Impeachment of the President. The House of Representatives on Mon day last after au exhaustive debate, voted that "Andrew Johnson, Presidnet of the United "States, be impeached of high crimes and misdemeanors." Upon this resolution 12G Representatives voted Yea, while it voted No. It will be seen that the Republicans acted in a body, while Mr. Cary or Ohio, and Mr. Stewart ol New-York, Independent Republicans, to ted with the Democrats. Inreaehmcnt, defeated before by a large Republican vote, is now accepted without a single dissenting Republican vote. . The following is the Resolution of Im peachment adopted by the House: Jiesolced, That Andrew Johnson, Pre sident oj the Unitl State, le Impeach ed of high crimes and misdemeanors. Alexander II. Stephens, the defunct rebel Vice President, is now iu Philadel phia, where he is supervising the publi cation of a book which he has writteu on the rebellion. A correspondent of tu inquirer recently called on him. and m the course of the conversation that pass ed between them, Mr. Stephens expressed his preference for Andrew Johnson as the next candidate for the Presidency. This should have some weight with those lead ers of the Democracy who are such great admirers of Stephens. As the latter has had considerable experience in that capaci ty, why not place him on the same ticket as Vict President ? The Pennsylvania Republican State Convention will be held iu Philadelphia on the 11th ef March. On the evening of the 12th of March a grand ratification meeting will be held at the Academy of Muie.

The Mechanics' First Annual Supper. On Thursday last the 20th inst. the mem bers of Monroe Council, No. 90, 0. U. A M. met at their Hall to make arrangements for partaking their firt annual Supper. This Lodge, above all others, is the most worthy of honorable notice. It was organized six teen months ago and now numbers ninety members the most useful and intelligent to be found in the Country. " We need not ob serve that a practical mechanic is the first in honor amongst all civilized people, there is a worth in his ability which surpasses in greatness any other man, however exalted Were we to compare a dozen such men with the same number of the most distinguished aristocrats in any country, we should find more real merit, more genius and capability and twice as much usefulness to their fellow beings than can be found in their com pet i tors. ' Tis to such men that society owes its comfort and happiness, the government its stability, and the world at large its prosper ity, riches and contentment The cultiva ted mind directs the misterly hand. At eight o'clock the members of the Lodge, accompanied by a great nnmber of visiting members, proceeded to the Stroudsburg House, where mine host, Marsh, prepared the good things, and at half-past eight tho carnival of luxury commenced. The tabls groaned under the luscious burden. Turkeys, chickens, oysters, aud fruit, in abundance, and to sweeten all down every one was gay, cheerful and boisterously merry. Order and decency characterized the happy eveniug. A blessing was invoked by the C, and every gentleman whetted his ap petite to correspond with the edge of his knife. The utmost jocularity prevailed during the repast. 44 Who wouldn't be a niechauic now?" was reiterated in friend ly joke, and a general feeling of enjoy uieut lightened every heart and made every one happy. Ou the cloth being removed, cigars and wine were brought in, aud during the remainder of the evening toasts were freely drank and re sponded to by. Messrs. Lee, Green wald Drake, Jacoby, Waters, and several oth ers. A surprising amount of intelligence was elicited all were united friendly and happy. All felt a manly importance and regretted that the festivities were so soon over. Every thing was admirable and all were pleased and delighted. A more general harmony has not been cx hibited' in any meeting in Stroudsburg these many years, and we know not that such an eveniug will be vouchsafed to us again. A MccnAMC HARRISBURG. Luzerne County Fraud-A Blundering Larceny. Special Correspondence Pittsburg Caze'te. llAiimsBuna, Feb. 10, 18C3. The Committee on the contested seats in the Senate, went to Wilkes Barre. Lu zcrne county, on Friday, to examine the Naturalization Dockets, and see l the names of those who voted in Clear field county on naturalization ccrtifi cates purporting to have been issued Jroui .Luzerne county were upon the rec ords of that countv. These naturalization papers all bore date iu lSijb, and when the l rothonotary of that countv was before the Coaimittec. here, he was asked if he could produce bis Naturalization Dockets, if summoned to do so. He rcolied that he would not unless the Court gave him orders te that etlect. Ibis made it necessary for the Committee to go to Wilkcs-Barre and examine the dockets themselves. Upon arriving there they found that the Naturalization Docket of 18G5 icas misunn. It was the docket of 1SG6 that the Committee wanted ; and it was uow pus peered that, as soon as the Committee resolved to co to Wilkes-Barrc. some one telegraphed there from hero to make way with the docket of lbob, and that in .1 m m a . tnc baste ot complying with this order the docket of 18G5 was taken instead thus committing a bluuder as well as : crime. Tho Committee examined thorouirhlv the docket of lGG, and not a simjle name of those icho voted tn Clear Jxtld county upon naturalization paper vurportinn to have been issued in Jjiizerne count u. in that y ear i was found upon it. It is, tberelore, plain that every one who voted upon tneso papers was uuutv of castin a fraudulent vote, In view of this development a bill will probably be passed making it a nenal of fense to offer to vote upon a fraudulent naturalization certificate ; aud a bill re lating to the same subject, already on the files of the Senate, will also tasa. reouir- ing the officers of election to keep a re cord of each naturalization naner offered at any ; election the name of the nartv ouering it, bis residence, the date of the ,v . . . . . - - ' paper, aud wbere and by what Court is sued. These two bills will put a check upon tins buzerno Uounty fraud. Democratic National Convention. The Detuocratio National Commit-- in secret scission at Washington last week, adjourned ou Saturday after selecting New York city as the place for holding their Natioual Convention unon the fonrth of July, doubtless upon, the principle 'the better the day the better the deed." a .. a a. patriotic oouy very I Ibero were ei"ht States unrenrcsentcd in the Committee. In the 1 Convention they propose to admit delosratcs indis. eriminately from the loyal and rebel States upon the basis of the last annortionnipnl giving each State twice the number of re presentatives to which thev were entitled in Congress. ; Several persons from New York have been negotiating for the purchase of lands on the Flats in' 1'hillipaburg, and propose, if; they can make arrangements, to put up a boiler factory there. FROM WASHINGTON. JOHNSON VS. STANTON "A. J." RE SUMES ACTIVE HOSTILITIES DEPO SES THE SECRETARY OF WAR GEN. LORENZO THOMAS AS HIS 8UCCESSOR 7 A DECIDED SENSATION IN THE SEN ATE. Washington, Feb. 21. At about two p.m. tho President's Sec fetary brought to the Senate several com munications, and when they were quietly opened were found to contain the nomin ation of George 11. McUlellan to be Min ister to England; .General George II. Thomas to be Lieutenant General, and General by brevet; and an announcement that the President had removed lion, i. M. Stanton as Secretary of War, and or dered Adjutant General Lorenzo Thomas to assume the duties of the ar Depart mcnt, under the authority of an old stat ute exhumed for the occasion, and which dates prior to the Tenure of Office bill. which letter, 31 r. Johnson does not ad mit, was repealed by the Tenure of Office law. The uews of this action of the Ex ecutivc flew rapidly over the Senate, and soon a motion was made to go into Execu tive Session, which was carried by a par ty vote. simultaneous with the departure of the Presideut s Sectary for the Capitol, Ad jutant-General Thomas, accompanied by General ilhams, called upon the Sec retary of War and read him his order from Mr. Johnson to take possession of the War Department, all papers. &c , and a letter to Mr. Stanton, from the l'resi dent, to surrender the office Mr. Stan ton laughed, and asked how summary he iuteuded his process to be, and if he would have time to gather up his papers aud put on his coat. Geueral Thomas responded 44 that he would;" and Mr Stanton said that he would like some tiiue to consider upon it, and desired to have a copy of the notice served upon him in writing. General Thomas then withdrew, and soon after sent in a copy o! his order from the Presideut, which Mr iStanton immediately had copied and trausmitted to the House of uepresenta tives. ' j. ne removal soon became noised around the Department, aud a genera suspension of work followed, every one luquiring of some ooe else. 44 What uext? " 44 Will he Ko? " 44 What wil Grant do?" About three p.m. a committee of Sena tors, consisting of Messrs. Cameron Chaudler, Cattell and Thayer arrived and were granted an immediate interview They informed Mr. Stauton that they came at the request of their uepublican col leagues to ask that he should not surrender except to physical force, and on no ac count to leave his office Ions: enough for Geueral Thomas to move in and get pos session, so as to put upon him the neces sity of resorting to auy unusual means to retain the office. Mr. Stanton replied that if the ReDub lican party were uuited upon the ques tion, and they considered it to be his duty to remain, he would do so until he was re moved piecemeal; that this was not his quarrel, but that of the loyal people, an he wanted it to be understood. That i they would act in the matter, and act promptly, he would see it through; but he was not disposed to keep up this fi"ht siujrle handed aud alone. The Senators assured him that on this question the Uepublican party were a unit, at the Capitol, and they would act iu the matter before the adjournment; aud that, as he had frequently ipent uiht auer uignt in ins omce when the country was in peril, it ought to be repeated now, lor they considered the same emergency now exists as then. They then left, promising that be should hear from them officially before many hours. They proceeded to Geueral Grant's headquarters, and found him makio" ar rangeuicuts to go to New York to night, but ou their putting the case to him aud announcing their intention to resist any attempt to remove Mr. Stanton, thev soon found that he coincided with their views, aud left for the Senate. Ou their return they found the Senate in Executive Session, and Mr. Shcrtuau making a speech and repudiating the pre tense of the law which the President had set up No question was before the Scu ate except the point as to the power of the President to remove Secretary Stan ton. All the Republicans were clear iu their views that he had not the power, and wero anxious to get some action to Jay, but the Democrats were equally anx ious to secure delay, aad indulged in long arguments in defense of the Presi dent, aud . the Republicans accordingly took up the gauntlet; and now, at half past eight, the debate still coes on. Messrs. Howard, lesseoden. Edmunds. Conkling, Thayer, Yates and others, have made bold, clear and powerful speeches, arraigning Mr. Johnson for his defiance of law, and for his evident determination to plunge the couutry into another civil war, sooner than be baffled in his at tempts to turn over the goverumeut to the very uieu who opposed its salvation dur ing the late loug aud bloody Rebellion. Ihere are two propositions nmv under consideration ainou the Republicans. One beiug to merely return the notice of the removal of Mr. Stautou with their disapproval, and another to state that it was returned because he had removed him in violation of law. Some object to inis, oo tno grounds that if they so vote it may interfere with their action if the resideut should be imprcached by the House for this very violation of 1 aw. But this latter, proposition ia most likely to After leaving Mr. Stanton. Gnrnl Thomas, who has previously promulgated -ii viuur uy airection ol the I'resident, cloasing the deportment to-morrow is com memoration of Washington's Birthday, ieu me uepartmenland wentto the Whito House ; from there back to tho depart ment, and then down to his hotel, station- to several persons who asked him about his intentions that he considered he wa Secretary of War, but as to-morrow was a uon dies on account of its bein" a holi- lav the dernrtmcnt J - I - - -. nvct'l i , i his orders, and also upon Sundav hni that "on Monday he should take posses- aion" of his effice, but declined to stats how he rould "take" it if Mr. Stanton refused him. When Mr. Stanton's communication was received by the House, they were in Uommmec oi me noie on an appropria tion bill, and, not knowing its contents the seal was not opened for some time af terwards, when, it being read, it was promptly referred to the Committee on Kocoustruction as being the most radical committee in the House. But the moro the matter was discussed among the mem- hers, the more they became exasperated, and the Democrats tried to carry au adjourment. but after three roll-calls, last ing over an hour, they were beaten by nearly a strict party vote, and the Housed went into committee aatn to have tliG bill read, in order to put in order to put in time while they privately caucussed around among one another to see what was best to do, and it wa3 concluded) t& rescind the resolution to do no business' to morrow, and this was carried by S3 to 44. Nearly all those voting nay were Democrats. In order to start the ball properly, Mr Covode, rising to a privileged question- offered a resolution of impeachment. an.-J at the request of Mr. Boutwell, consented to its reference to the Reconstruction Com mittee, which he was assured would meet at ten o'clock to morrow, and act prompt ly upon it. Amid noise and confusion, it was agreed to by the Republicans, and the House at once adjourned. Mr. Stevens wa3 not well enough to be at the House to day, but, on hearing of the action of the House aud of the Pre sident, he rose up in his bed aud issed au order to bis clerk to assemble his cqiu mittse at ten A. M., on Saturday, and to say that he would be there, and in the meantime to gather up all the necessary documents aud papers pertaining to thi case. There is an evident determination on the part of the many Eepublicans who have hitherto opposed impeachment, now to move upon the President, if there is a clear violatiou in his action of to-day,, and there seems to be but little difference ofopinonion that point. What to mor row will develop, none can a yet tell, but it now luoks more likeau impeach men t, than ever before. 9 P. M. The Senate is still in sesMorr. Hon. E. B. Washburne was at the Senate, and had a long consultation with Senator Wilson, after which the latter oSerd a preamble and resolution, in which it is set forth that the removal of Mr. Stamon being in volation of law the Senate douot consent to it. This was carried by a vote of twenty-three to nineteen; but some of the Republicans thought that they should not vote uow ou the law, and an attempt is being made to get it iuto such shape as will secure a strict party vote, and at the same time not recede from wh-it they believe to be the true and correct posi tion, aud upon which they could stand. U.30 P M. Secretary Stantuu remains at his office in the War Department, hav ing had his dinner scot to him, and has received sveral callers, who were anxious to learn the latest phase of affairs. He awaits the action of the Senate. - Adjuntant General Thomas has been in the bar-room of one of the principal hotels, this evening, and announces his intention of taking possession of the de partment to morrow. The Impeachment Washington, Feb. 25. Another scene in the great drama of impeachment passed off very quietly to day, and the business of both houses pro gressed, uninterrupted or unretarded by the impending trial. At one o clock the members .of the House commenced to gather in the Seuate, and soon after Messrs. Steveus and Binhatn entered slowly, arm in arm, the former dragging along an ua willing frame by means of his indomitable will. Arriving at the cud of the central aisle, they halted, and as Mr. Stevens diseugaged his arm from Mr. Biugham's he tottered to one side , but caught himself with his caue, and, draw ing from his pocket a paper, he was re cognized by Mr. Wade, who aunouueed : 'A committee from the House." Iustantly every voice was hushed, every eye turned upon the olJ man, aud every ear listening to catch his words. Lighty-four Represetatives crowded around the semi-circule of Senators, and the galleries leaned over in eager curiosi ty to catch the momentous words of that one energetic, indomitable old man. Gathering with a great effort all the vi tality he could rally, he read iu the now broken and husky voice. 4Mr. Presideut: Iu obedience to the order of the House of Representatives we appear before you, and iu the name of the House ol Representatives, and of all the people of the United States, do im peach Audrew Johnson, President of the united States, for high crimes and mis- icmeanors in office, and we further iu- forui the Seaate that the House of Re presentatives will iu due time exhibit particular articles of impeachment against him, and make good the same ; and ia their name we demand that the Senate take order for the appearance of the said Andrew Johuson to auswer the sai'4 pcachmetit." bo still was the beuute that) YQ'i coull have heard a whisper iu.th.o icuiotcst coi ncr, and as Mr. Stevens handed the pa per from wkich he h:vl reud to an officer, Mr. Wade repliod : i4The Senate will si order," and the great commoner's strength failing hiin, he was assisted to a chair close by, where Uo remained daring tho action of the Senato upon the coiumum catiouA and t,hcu returned to the llou-ic.
