It frequently happenB that a question, the Im portance of which ia BecondarJ? Is forced Into a most prominent position by the ability of Its advocates, while the absence of discussion loaves a far more vital Issue pass by un heeded. This was the case in Congress on Saturday, when the impeachment vote mono polized all the interest of the public, to the de triment of the far more important question which was decided on the same day. We refer to the passage of the House bill in opposition to any further contraction of the currency. During the session of the Thirty-ninth Corgress, a bill was passed, April 12, I860, authorizing the Secre-tary of the Treasury to withdraw, if he saw proper, the United States notes in circulation, at a rata not to exceed $4,000,000 per month. In accordance with the power thus given him, the Beoretary for several months withdrew the amount designated; but finding that a stringency in the market was beginning to result, and that the finances of the country were not in a condition to authorize any long continuation of the measure, he has not for many months past exercised the power vested in him. On Saturday the Committee of Ways and Means reported the bill repealing the power previously given, and preventing In the future any furthur - contraction until another law was passed expressly providing therefor. The vote on the question wa3 128 yeas to 32 nays. The manner in which our Pennsylvania delegation voted on that im portant question is a valuable index as to their views on the subject, and we give the vote in detail: Vls, Cb rles O'Neill, Leonard Myers, Wm.

This latest proof of the spirit of the House, iven by auoha decided majority, may be can sidered as settling, for some time to como, the policy of the Government. Whether or not it can be con strued into a declaration in favor of farther expansion, we cannot tell. The Unjust and injurious polioy of moving the previous question on such an important topic, and thus cutting off debate, prevents all opportunity of an explanation of their votes by any of the members, and leaves us without any guide as to the feeling of the House save on the direot question at issue. We cannot deprecate in too strong language this rale. It has been years since we had what may be called a debate in the House. Whenever an important question comes up, instead of hav ing that free and able interchange of opinions for whioh Congress is compelled to assemble together, the previous question ia moved, and the only persons who Lave any voice in the framing of our laws are the members of the committee who had the matter in hand. It has been frequently remarked, and, in fact, openly acknowledged by members, that by this means all chance for a compromise is cut off, and the friends of the movement who are in favor of its modifica tion, have no alternative but to vote with its enemies or accept it as it comes from the com mittee. We send representatives there to counsel together and to harmonize views, not to leave everything to the discretion of a com mittee. If the "previous question" had been in ubo in the days of our forefathers, we would sever have had a Unien or a Constitution. It was only by mutual compromise and concilia tion that they were effected; but now a bare majority seems disposed to tyrannize over those who differ from them in opinion. We refer to no political party, for it frequently happens that the same result is achieved by the votes of the Democracy, as was shown on Saturday by the impeachment vote. We think that the rule allowing the "previous ques tion" should be repealed. A wearisome de bate is better than systematic gag law. We have (Teen led to this digression by the uncertainty resulting from the forced vote on the contraction question, and the doubt as to whether it can be so construed as to favor infla tion. While we are glad to see the action taken, yet we do not believe that further infla tion at present is sound policy. What the exigencies of the future may .require that future only can reveal, but it is well to re member that while we tnav ride clear of the present storm by means of a farther issue of "greenbacks," yet we are in the condition of a ship running before the wind it Is all safe and pleasant sailing so long as we conti&ae in that direction, but the longer we continue the harder and the more dangerous will be the final return to the destination from which we Lave been drifting. As the tendency now 'Seems to be rather in favor of yielding to the wind, if we can describe inflation by that elmlle, we would impress on our legislators the difficulty of ultimately reaching the wished-lor harbor of epecia payment. Ja connection with this Bubtect w nan but Impwtfs upon Congress the sentiments of the New York Journal of Commerce, whioh gives a correct idea of the real status of the 'greenbacks." While we do not go so far as to denonnoe the "lgal-tenders" in the un measured terms In which our contemporary indulges, yet we desire as earnestly as it does that specie payment may be resumed, and the necessity which oompellod the "greenbacks" being issued be removed. It says: "The recognition by the Secretary of the Treasury of the fact that all the financial eviln which are now manifest, and the dangers which are apprehended, are due to the direct issue by the Government of an inconver tible currency with the legal attributes of money, affords gratifying evidence of a whole some change in publio sentiment;" and adds: "It is something to gain official recognition of the fact that the issue of legal-tenders was a grand mistake from the beginning, inevitably demoralizing and corrupting in its tendency, and to be withdrawn before there can be any hope of restoring the country to a sound financial condition." The great danger to whioh we are continu ally subjected by legislative action on finan cial topics arises from the lability of profes sional men to go to extremes in business transactions. Congress is composed to a large extent of lawyers, and has but a small propor tion of merchants or business men. Uenoe, there is always danger of the grand law to "never use force in finance" being overlooked. We hope, however, that having declared, very properly, against further contraction at pre sent, that body will also exhibit a commenda ble discretion in the exercise of its other attributes in the power to issue new loans, and thus prevent inflation. Of the two evils, it is hard to decide whioh will do the country more ultimate harm. A Quietus. As the country had every reason to suppose, from the temper manifested by a majority of the Republicans in Congress, the proposed impeachment of Andrew Johnson was de cisively defeated on Saturday afternoon, the vote standing 108 noes to 57 ayes. Of the former but 42 were given by the Democratio members, while (SG Republicans altogether voted in the negative. The opposition to im peachment, therefore, embraces not only two thirds of the whole House, but a clear majority of the Republican side of it. This last fact is one on which the country certainly deserves congratulation, for it places the impeachment faction so clearly and definitely in the minority that they have no hope whatever of gaining the ascendancy as matters now stand. It like wise places the position of the Re publican party squarely before the coun try. Andrew Johnson is considered by a large majority of its adherents, if not by every ruan who can properly lay claim to cooperation with it, as a "bold, bad man." But it has decided most emphati cally that, although it oonaiders the President guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors which might warrant impeachment, publio policy demands that for the present it shall not prosecute these charges "to final trial and punishment." In the language of Mr. Bout well, "it is not strange that a sensitive and conscientious publio opinion" shrinks from a proceeding so solemn in its character, the end of which men cannot foresee." Such being the deliberate decision of the recognized leaders of the party, after months of wearisome agitation, we hope we shall not again have oocasion to refer to impeachment during the remaining fifteen months of Mr. Johnson's administration. At the end of that time he can be quietly lost sight of, and left at liberty to devote the remainder of his natural existence to ruminating upon the vast amount of mischief which he accomplished while in the flesh politically, and the still greater evils in the effort to thruut which upon the country he was forestalled by a faithful and patriotic Congress. But it is not enough that the question of impeachment has been formally and definitely settled. An end should be put to all discussion of the matter, especially in the halls of Congress, which has enough before it in the single department of finance to occupy the whole of the present session. The country will, therefore, regret that, as soon as the vote had been taken, and the attention of the House turned to the im portant subject of the contraction of the cur rency, several members dragged the dead carcass of impeachment before that body and attempted to fan it into, spasmodic vitality Such a course should be deprecated by all who have the welfare of the country and the inte grity of the Republican party at heart, and we hope that we shall not witness the repeti tion of such an unseemly farce. EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. Kansas llevlslted- 1N5T and 180T Con trasted. Lawrence, Kansas, Deo. 5, 13G7. Trobably no part of the country has witnessed more cxtetitive and Important changes, during the past ten years, than, Kausas and Western Missouri. Two days ago I stepped aboard of the cars at St. Louis, in the afternoon at half past three o'clock, en route for this place. The afternoon and evenlog wore rapidly away In conversation with old friends whom X cltaaced to meet, and about 11 o'clock we took our berths for the nlgbt. Morning found us refreshed by sleep, and clear across (he State of Missouri, at the Stale line between it and Kansas, where a fine hot breakfast was awaiting us at the rail road eating bouse and hotel. A transfer to the cars of the Kansas Paclno Railroad, a couple of hours' ride up the matchless valley of the Kaw (or Kansas) river, and we are at the beautiful and hlstorlo city of Lawrence, renowned not less for her devotion to, than her sufferings in, the great cause of human freedom. I made this same Journey tea years ago last spring, and, by way of contrast, let me briefly describe H. The simple recital may serve more vividly to picture the actual changes that have taken place than any general expressions could serve to do. Then, as now, I took the cars of the Missouri Puclfio Kallroad at St. Louis, at the same depot, and at the same hour of the afternoon. There, however, all correspondence c The train was an Immense one, loadod down with emi grants for Kansas. About seven hours' ride brought as, ia the nleht, to Jeflersoa City, on the Missouri river, the then terminus of the railroad. The remainder of our Journey to the "promised land" whither we were tending was to be made by boat. I well remember what a rush there was from the cars down the steep gangways, lighted with naming pine torches, to the boat. Our tickets were through tickets from Buffalo, New York, and called for "state-rooms" and meal on board the Mis souri river packets. But, alas! how should a boat with stale-rooms for perhaps a couple of hundred passengers, find accommodations lor nearly a thousand? The boats, at that time, ran dlreolly from St. Louis through to the Kansas border, taking poengers tho whole distance. The result wan that every state-room had been taken by those who got on at St. Louis, making the entire trip by water; so that when the boat stopped at Jefferson City for the crowd who bad oome up by the cars, there was simply room to take them aboard, and that was about all. However, an Amerloan assemblage rarely loses Its good temper, nor Its fertility of Invention to make the best of everything. Per haps, too, a little Incipient hardship was not lost upon those who were so soon to brave the privations and perils of Kansas life, such as 11 then was. The first thing was to improvise some kind of arrangements lor sleeping, for the human system claims Bleep as lnexorubly as it does food. The immense cabin was turned into a vast dormitory, one end being curtained off for the women ana children, with rows of mattresses on the floor from side to side. Eac u man took his carpet-sack for a pillow, and soou the cabin was filled with the reclining forms of the tired travellers. It was hours, however, before the crowd quieted down, so that much sleep could not be obtained. I havo always no ticed that If you get a dozen men together under unusual circumstances, Bomebody'd sense of the ludicrous will be so excited, that he must make a "deliverance" of some sort. So it was now. Imaginary wallers were hailed with commands for articles of comfort or luxury clearly beyond our present condition and surroundings. Some mirth-provoking question would be put with all possible gravity by a man to his neighbor, when a dozen an swers would come to It from all parts of the cabin, accompanied with roars or laughter. I remember one chap, who must have been the original of the definition given of man by So crates, or some other equally responsible au thority, that he was a fowl without feathers, for his imitation of the crow ing of a rooster was most perfeot, and loud enough to have aroused the "seven sleepers," bad he lived In their day. The o Ul cers of the boat finally interfered to check the boisterous mirth, in favor of those who desired to fcltep, and quiet soon prevailed. Thus passed our first night on a Missouri river packeUboat. The trip occupied three days and nights. Tuere were many little things that struck one as singular. I shall never forget my emotions as I stepped into the wash-room In the morning and turned on the water for a wash. A yellow, dlny-looking fluid poured forth, like the waters of the SchuylkiU In a freshet, apparently as Suitable for Gil9 ablutions a mud-puddlo after a heavy rain. The appearance, however. was worse than the reality. The Missouri river water Is very pure naturully, but loaded with a fine, almost Impalpable yellow sand. Let It stand for half a day, and it becomes cloar and palatable for drinking. The steamboat bunds, however, dip It and drink It directly from the river, and experience no ovll effects from its use. The matter of feeding so large a crowd was no slight affair. Tables were set the whole length of the cabin. Tuose who managed to get to tho flrbt table fared very well, nut woe to the unlucky wlght who depends ujon the second and even third tables! The only chance to Eecure a good meal was to pre-empt a chair along the sides of the cabin for an hour or two before meal-time, and to hold on to It until the chairs were placed at the table, and then to stand behind It ready to defend your olalm against all comers. I am afraid Chesterfield would have lost his polish under such unfa vorable circumstances. The animal triumphs over the spiritual iu man on very slight pro vocation sometimes. The process of "wooding up" at night on one of these great boats. Is picturesque In the ex tieme. They consume great quantities of wood for their engines, and at convenient points for landing, those who make a business of furnish ing wood for steamers cord It up in long piles of hundreds of cords, generally In the depths of some forest. Asa boat approaches one of these places where she Intends to wood up, she blows two ar three long notes of warning with her whistle, whioh can be heard for miles around, so that the owner or bis agents may be on hand. There Is no waiting lor them, however. The wood Is taken whether they are present or rot. In case of the owner's absenoe, the captain writes the name of his boat and the amount of wood he has taken on a oard, and leaves It sticking in the orevloe of a stick at the end ot a pile, and settles the bill on his return, or on his next trip. Arrived at tho wood yard, the planks are thrown out, the boat fastened to the shore by a huge' cable, the torches lighted, and all hands fall to and bring on the wood. The torches are made of pitch pine split into fine pieces, and are burned in a sort of iron holder or frame work, Bet up near the bows of the boat, and leaning out over the bow, so that the falling pieces may not endan ger the boat. They make a beautiful and bril liant light, illuminating the whole neighbor hood. On the third day we arrived at the great bend of the Missouri, 'and got our first view of Kansas, at the point where the flourishing town of Wyandotte now stands. Tho re were a few houses there tben, but the Bile was beauti ful and Inviting. The ground gently rose and swelled away from the banks of the river; the trees were shady and green, and the whole ap pearance of the land as one first gazed upon it, was calculated to rejoice the heart. The emi grants crowded the deck and gave three oheers for Kansas. The crowd now began to disperse. Some bad already stopped at Kansas City, a couple of miles back; ethers slopped at Wyan dotte, and still others were to get off at Quln duro, Delaware, Leavenworth, and other points. Lawrence was then the great point of Interest In the Territory, and from all these points on the river tbere were daily lines of stages to ti ll being situated on the Kaw river, some forty miles In the Interior. I bad determined to slop at Qulndaro, a tew miles above Wyan dotte. I bad seen, before starling, an advertise ment In the New York Tribune, that tkere was a daily line ol boats from Qulndaro to Law reuoe by;the Kaw river. I never found the Hue, and the navigation of the Kaw, exoept for cattish, lias since, In slang phrase, "played out" Qulndaro was a town of balf-a-dozan houses, Kituated on the steep face of a rooky oil IT, rising directly from the river's edge. It was one of twenty points in the Missouri River whioh were all expecting at that time to make the future metropolis of the Slate. Ooveruor Cliurle Hoblnson.B, N. Simpson, and others, were at that time making their headquarters there, and shares In the town were selling readily at from five hundred to eight hundrel dollars in gold. The town eoro.pao.y- had commenced grading the main street to the river, and were making an immense out through the rocks at the top of the bluff. It remains unfinished to this day, and shares are now worth the value of 'the land for agricul tural purposes, although a modest little village has grown up' back ot the river, n the height of land. We put up at the chief and only hotel of the plaoe, a large building which had Just been erected. In lieu of mortar the partitions between the rooms were covered with white cotton cloth, a device which was quite com mo a In Kansas in those days. The evening after I arrived I had my first view of the political contest that was then agitating the Territory. The Free State men had refused to reoognlze the laws passed by the "bogus" Legislature elected bv the Missouri Invaders. Tho cousequenoe was that the coun try was left to be regulated by the law of local publio. opinion and organization. In Quln daro, which was a unanimous Free-State town, the law wus that no whisky should be 6(ld. About night-fall I noticed a sudden as cent blage of men near the river. I went down to Bee what was up. When I got there I found a young man atandlng on a dry goods box and in a deep bnss voice haranguing the crowd He went on to state that, in the absenoe of all lawful authority in the Territory, it de volved upon the people to protect themselves. The people of Qulndaro bad enacted that no Intoxicating liquors should be sold in their midst; notwithstanding this, the prisoner at the bar (the bar was a big stone) bad been guilty of opening a saloon and of selling whisky, In defiance of the law they bad adopted. What would they do with him? A court was extemporized, the case was tried in about ten minutes, the offender found guilty, and some alight penalty affixed, with a warning of a severer fate if the offense was repeated. This was Kansas law under "squatter sovereignty." The distance to Lawrence was forty miles; the stage line was a span of second-ra'e horses, for the whole distance, and a mud wagon; the number of passengers elgbl, with an average ot two big trunks each. We t-tarted with a light wagon, but gave that up before we hud gone a mile, and sent back for a heavier one. Finally we were off, and a more delightful morning for i a ride never dawned. It was April, the sun was genial, but not oppressive, the trees all about us wore bursting into leaf, the wild goose berry bushes were In full bloom, the grass was springing on the prairies, and the birds singing in the trees. We soon left tho timber and struck the "long prairie rolls, green billows of a Bea which had turned to solid ground, ere its bosom had sunk to rest. The road was a suc cession of long gradual ascents and desceuls As the load was heavy , we soon established the precedent of walking up the hills to relieve the team, which looked none too promlslug for ibe Journey before us. Thus we travelled ou till about three o'clock In the after noon, when we struck the deep wooded valley of Wolf ceek. We had. breoUfosted early, and the lapse of time, as well as the exercise of so much walking, had made us all ravouously hungry, but there was no seitlenieut on the whole route. It was au Indian reservation that we were passing ovef , and uninhabited by them eveu until within a few relies or Lawrence. Happily, we herelound a camp of laborers who were building a bridge over Wolf creek. They had been to dinner, but bad left a pot half full of baked beans aud a lew biscuit. We bought the stock, made a ring around the pot, one of our company produced a bottle of pepper-sauce from his trunk, and we made a feast off of those beans and biscuit sueU as hunger alone could have prepared for us The best bill of fare ever put before tho guests of the Continental could not have been eaten with greater relish. We drove on, and, as the afternoon declined, our poor team became more and more weary, until we were forced to walk all the time, down bill as well as up. At last, a little after sun down, one of the horses stopped, and would go no further. He was completely tired out. A couucllof war was held. We were still seven miles from Lawrence, and all of the way through the woods. There were no houses except a few Indian cabins along the road. We bad no food or blankets for camping out. It was determined to leave the driver with the team and the trunks, hoping that the horses would finally drag through, while the passengers would push on, on foot, for Law rence. One of our company knew the road well, so that he could act as our guide. I will cut my story short without walling to describe our stopping and getting supper with old Sar coxie, a Delaware Indian chief, and some laughable Incidents connected therewith, aud simply say that, after a long and weary walk, we arrived on the panks of tho Kawt opposite to Lawrenoo, at about midnight. It took us nearly an hour to rouse the ferryman on the Lawrence side, so that he would come aerots and ferry us over. At last we heard the plush of his boat, and soon found ourselves among friends in Lawrence at the end of our Journey. That was ten years ago. The nearest railroad wus then at Jefferson City now it is here, aud exttnds three hundred miles west, with a branch road to Leavenworth, and another line leading south under construction. Then the telegraph lines reached only to Boonvllle; now they have been extended across the continent to the raoific, aud we are In Instant communi cation with the whole country. Then the Kaw liver was crossed by a rope-ferry now a splen did bridge, cowling forty thousand dollars, spans the stream. Then Lawrence bad oue weekly ppper, with malls twice a week now she has dully mails east and west, and two large dally papers. Then Lawrence had about oue thou hand Inhabitants now she ban teu thousand, with a State university, publlosahools, churches, and all the appliunoes of modern civilization. Such are some of the ohaugt-s of the last ten yewrs, as shown by a Journey to Lawrence in 1H57 und one In 1807. T. I). T. CARD.
