THE IMPEACHMENT OF THE PRESIDENT.
While we do not think that any consid
erable number of republican members of
Congress seriously think of impeaching
President JOHNSON, or that any force among
the people would justify it, there are still
some who are urgiug this measure upon
the attention of both. Now, in our way of
thinking, next to abandoning the Constitu
tional Amendments, and adopting General
Amnesty, the impeachment of JOHNSON, for
anything he has thus far done, would be
the most unfortunate procedure our party
could adopt. Aside from the fact that the
Executive would use all his power to de
fend himself, and call into requisitionJihe
army in retaliating measures, thus inaugu
rating auother civil war, there is the im
portant consideration, that in such a con
lest as an impeachment would awaken,
Congress would be forced into the adop
tion ot many expedients ot doubtful pro
priety, if not some of positive usurpation
and wrong ; aud who does not see that
this would call down on us just censure,
and materially weaken us before the coun
try. We must not forget that JOHNSON cau
not hurt us as a party, either by any thing
he cau say of us, or do against us. It is
only our own mistakes and errors that can
injure us. So too, with JOHNSON, he hurts
himself most in striking at us.
No one condemns more heartily than we
do the miserable betrayal, or been more
j disgusted with the little,mean, spiteful cou
-1 duct of the Executive, and under excite
l meut provoked by his perversem ss, have
| at times felt, as if hanging was too good
for the miserable ingrate who could, as he
has done, ti rtnre his benefactors ; but so
lar thought asks : " What do we gaiu by
quarrelling with or retaliating upou JOHN
SON his dirty work?'' And the answer comes
back, " Nothing but loss."
We must not forget that the government
is in the hands of the republican Congress,
that the nation expects Congress to at
tend to the public weal ; and if this Con
gress gets up a fight with the President,
(and an impeachment will stir up a desper
' ate one,) how can it attend to the public
interests ? And to neglect the public in
! forests merely to attend to a quarrel with
! an officer of the government, will, of itself,
! carry with it condemnation.
Abide from this, wo aver that is no tang
ible ground on which to found an iinpeach
riutit. The President's bad faith with us,
his vulgarity, his profanity, his occasional
drunkenness, aud shameful abuse of Con
gress, are really not impeachable ; and
his gross, lawless usurpations in the ap
pointment of Provisional Governors for the
rebel states, and other acts of their recog
nition as states, together with the villain
ous abuse of the appointing power, during
the recess of Congress, can all be justified
on tin: ground of precedent. No impeach
ment, therefore, gun rest on any of these
acts. To sustain an impeachment legally,
and before the conntiy, there must be no
trumped up cuaiges, but a bold and clear
ly defined crime ; ami when this is found,
we will not only sustain an impeachment,
but will insist upon the institution of im
mediate process. In the present condition
of affairs however, we as positively insist
that there shali be. no thought o such a
thing as a party measure, and this because
our safety as a party depeuds upon for.
bearance and moderation with the Presi
dent. He is a co-ordinate branch of the
government, and our duty calls for consid
eration, beciuse its responsibilities rests
upon us ; an t if it Ruffers in any of tts in
t rests, because wo are intractable, will
we not be the losers? No, the sentiment
of the republicans is, everywhere, that
Congress is iu the right, and it bus the up
proval of the people, and can therefore, af
ford to be abused, and be nuresentiul, aud
pven magnanimous.
! ©@ The Philadelphia Press gives a sum
| mary of the las report on the G ratd OB-
I tale. T:u; estimated gross revenues for
iBS7-'6B are $330,000, an iacruase from last
year iff ever fifty per cent. The value of
the real estate is constantly increasing,and
as it cannot be sold, or leased for a longer
period than five years, it must always fur
nish a large and steady revenue. The trust
owns nearly two hundred properties in Phil
adelphia, consisting of stores, dwellings,
j wharfs, lots and farms, besides valuable
J coal aud timber lands in Schuylkill aud Co
! lutsibia Counties. Some of the rents have
1 been doubled, others trebled. It is hoped
that, the fund will soon be able to support
j twelve hundred orphans.
Seg li is alleged that thejrecent attempts

it can, bv the aid of a little simple machin
ery for rolling the leaves, be produced at a
! cost of from five to eight cents per poundi

THE REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF
THE TREASURY
Is not calculated, according to our judg
ment, to advance the financial interests of
the nation ; and its crudenes-, on some, in
deed, on the chief production of wealth, is
not flattering to its author, and if the inev
itable laws which regulate productions and
trade, could b§. influenced by the Secreta
ry's opinions, they might prove disastrous.
But fortunately, tue proverbial folly of fi
nancial scribblers, and their name is legion,
has no more effect on the silent workings
and positive results, growing out of a na
tion's industry, or idleness, than the Ptole
maic system of astronomy had on the rota
ry motions of the earth.
Take for example, the assertion of the
Secretary in this last report of his, where
he says, it is necessary to curtail our redund
ant currency in order to increase' labor !
Now, a greater fallacy was never uttered
indeed, its falsity is almost self-evident.
We have only to look to our experience as
a nation, during the continuance of the re
bellion, to show this. Notwistauding the
withdrawal of five hundred thousand la
borers from the free states, there was no
diminution, and rather an increase, of pro
ductions, in these states during the war'.
Then what man of experience does not
know, that men would raiher work lor a
dollar, than fifty cents a day, even if the
dollar does not buy more than the fifty
cents ?
We suppose the Secretary considers it a
sharp trick to fix the period for the redemp
tion of specie payments immediately after
his retirement from office, thus throwing
the responsibility and censure of its failure
on his successor, and judging from this re
port, the Secretary means, so far as he can
hinder resumption, to produce this result,
lie should remember that men who dig pits
lor others, some times fall into them them
selves.
But the most reprehensible part of this
financial report, is the covert attack it
makes on Congress for not admitting the
rebel states. The astute Secretary appears
to think the people do not know that the
rebels put themselves out, and keep them
selves out. For all they have to do,in order
to get hack, is to adopt the conditions Con
gress has prescribed, the most reasonable
ever offered to a rebellious people ; and so
long as they do not comply with these, they
are certainly chargeable with their own dis
franchisement. The loyal people of the
north see this, but Secretary MCCULLOUCH,
and his worthy master, do not.
In apparent triumph, the Secretary asks,
Can the national credit be elevated and the pub
lic debt be rap dly reduced unless the Southern
Stotes shall largely contribute to the public rev
enues, and can such contributions be robed upon
as long as they remain in their present disfran
chised condition ? Will the tax-payers of the
North continue to be patient, unless their burdens
or taxation can be J-sseued by being equally shar
ed by the people or the South V
Why yes, Mr. Secretary, the national
debt is now being reduced beyond your es
timates, with the rebel states included, and
they still disfranchised ; and the loyal peo
ple will gladly continue to contribute to
this reduction, upon condition that the rebels
arc not enfranchised. And the northern
tax payers will patiently bear the burdens
of taxation, if traitors are punished, and
treason is made odious ; but upon no other
conditions Let those who are laboring BO
assidously for representation to a criornal
people, bear this in mind.

A branch railroad from the Great
Western Railway to the oil wells at Petro
lia, in Cauadu West, has been opened.—
There are now upward of 150 producing
wells in Enniskillen Township, Canada W.,
ranging from eight barrels a day to upward.
Most of the wells are pumping wells, but
recently large flowing wells have been
struck of great magnitude. The latest
event of this kind was the striking of a large
flowing well, the capacity of which is over
600 barrels of oil per day. This well is now
undqr control, after thousands of barrels
have flowa to waste, and it is now kept
down to 250 barrels' per day till sufficient
tankage accommodation is prepared.
ftag- The National Republican- learua that
Judge Wayue, of the Supreme Court of the
United Stp.iea, will, under the recent decis
ion of that tribunal against the right of mil
itary commissions to try citizens not in the
military or naval service, issue a writ by
which Dr. Mudd, one of the assassin conspi
rators, will be removed from confinement at
the Dry Tortuga*,and brought before a civ
il tribunal for trial. A late dispatch, how
ever, says that the writ will not be grant
ed. The recent decisions relative to mili
tary commissions does not apply in these
cases.
B&" From the Santa Fe (New Mexico)
Gazette it appears that in the northern part
of that Territory cur authorities are feed
ing the Ute and Jicarilla Apache Indians
(who threatened to become hostile),instead
of fighting them. During the month of
November 000 of the former and 800 of
the latter were furnished with half a pound
of beef and half a pound of flour per day.
This plan is probably iess expensive, and
certainly more humane, than a bloody and
' ■ ~
exterminating war.
THE WAT or THE WORLD.—The Oil City
Register of a recent daio contains the fol
lowing interesting facts in regard to the
John W. Steel farm, ne' that place : We
noticed iu brief, in yest rday's paper, the
sale of the John W. BteJ, more familiarly
known as the Widow M. Jliutock, farm, by
the United States deputy collector, W. L.
Groves, to satisfy the cla nof the Govern
ment for taxes due. It v is bid in by the
Government to secure tl.o claim, amount
ing to $11,600. At a previous sale, by
the sheriff of this county, $74,000 was bid
lor the property, but the sale was stopped,
the Government proving prior claim. The
claims against the property are heavy. A
brief history of this farm may not prove
uninteresting to a large class of our read
ers. The Widow McGlintock farm, consist
ing of about 100 acres, is immediately op
posite the flourishing town of Rouseville,
on Oil Creek. It was one of the first
among the oil producing farms of the val
ley. The Van Slyke well, on this farm,
struck early in 1863, produced for some
time at the rate of 2,500 barrels of oil per
day. The Hammond well struck some
time after, produced at the rate ol 600 bar
rels per day. In 1864, Mrs. McGlintock
died. Her death was caused by being bad
ly burned, while kindling a Are with crude
oil. After her death, it was found by her
will that the farm and all her possessions
were left entire to her adopted son, John
W. Steel, a youth of nineteen or twenty.
The daily income of the larm, accruing to
the laud interest at the time of her death,
averaged about $2,000. Iu the iron safe
where Mrs. McGlintock kept her money,
was found $40,000 iu gold and $lOO,OOO iu
greenbacks. All this fell to Mr. Steel as
Heir. He was a young man of fair aver
age principles, but uneducated. No soon
er had he obtained possession of his prop
erty, than he was surrounded with para
sites. He proved an easy victim to these
sharpers, who weut with him all the time,
and he gave no heed to the counsels oi
those who were his bestlrieuds. To finish
the history, we will merely state that Mr.
Steel is now reduced to poverty, and is
shunned by those who fawned upon him in
his day ot prosperity.
SILVER MINES IN ALLEGANY CocNTr.--The
Angelica Reporter, states that a Mr. Otis
Marsh, residing on Crawford Creek, about
four miles from Oramel, has discovered a
silver miue on his premises. It says : "Mr
Marsh was first led to the belief of the pres
ence of some kind of mineral by finding a
spring which emitted a tarnish appearing
water. The first impression was that the
water flowed over copper, but on excava
ting a few feet, he came to the sulphate of
silver, and when he had penetrated forty
teet below the surface, he came to a rich
strata of silver quartz, (a bluish rock filled
with particles of silver) and on digging a
few feet deeper,ho discovered the pure met
al—a vein the thickness of a case knife
blade,and about three leet wide. Mr. Marsh
has had some specimens of the quartz as
sayed by a New York chemist, who valued
them at from $1,500 to $l,BOO per ton. He
can quarry several tuns a day."
TUAF THE Brutal Treatment of the freed
rnen, practiced by their former masters,has
at iength attracted the deserved attention
of Congress. A bill has been introduced in
the Senate, to put a stop to the outrages in
the shape of corporeal punishment now
practiced in the South. We have long been
aware tbat the whipping post, the lash and
the raw hide were as much iu requisition
in the once slave States as when slavery it
self ruled supreme. Men and women are
horribly beaten for the most trivial offi- n
ses. In the remote agricultural districts of
the revolted States, where neither civil law
is respected or military occupations recog
nized, the most fiendish brutalities are in
flicted on the freedmeD. They are whipped
until the flesh literally falls from their
backs. They are tortured with a refinement
ot cruelty which far excels the revolting
brutalities of the inquisition.Every traitor's
hand is against the freedman. He is assail
ed by men who show their hte of the gov
ernment by striking at him ; and therefore
it is the duty of the authorities to protect
its friends against its enemies.
MCDD, SPANGLER, and the other assas
sination conspirators now at the Dry Tor to
gas, h tve friends at court. The people of
Baltimore, that is, those who stoned Union
troops as they passed through that city to
defend the national capital, have sent two
lawyers to the Presideut to plead the cause
of Lincoln's murderers, and insist on their
unconditional release. Had two damsels
been employed to secure this release, there
might have been some fear entertained that
the murders would be set free ; au J even
as the case is represented,if it can be prov
en that tbe prisoners hate Congress and glo
rify Johnson, their pardon is sure.
THE CRETAN WAR.—The rising of the Chris
tians of Crete against their Turkish oppres
sors bids fair to be a formidable insurrec
tion. Up to the latest date,the Turks seem
to have been snccesslul in crushing out the
insurgents, but by the very latest advices,
the aid and comfort extended to them by
Greece have enabled them to fight another
great battle against tbeir common enemy
with success. Tbe Turkish troops are now
conducting the war with great ferocity, and
unlesß the great powers interfere, the war
bids fair to result in the extermination of
one party or the other. The sympathies of
Greece are almost ready to involve that
country as an ally of the Cretans. The war
ning advice of France and Englaud alone
deters her from open hostilities, and at the
best, may possibly yet overstep the bounds
of neutrality, and become the active enemy
of Turkey.
Wtf General Sheridan explains that he
arrested Ortega "on the same principle that
the Fenians were arrested in attempting to
violate our laws by the invasion of Canada."
He charges that Ortega was in league with
parties in New York and Brownsville to
make an armed demonstration at Matamor
as, and that, under these circumstances, he
was guilty of an infringement of our neu
trality laws when he attempted to enter his
native country from otir soil.
Bay There are now iu various schools of
Pennsylvania, receiving care and education
at the expense of the Commonwealth, be
tween three and four thousand little boys
and girls, orphans of Pennsylvania soldiers
and sailors who perialied in the war for the
Union.
THE FORTIETH CONGRESS.—By a vote of 127 '
to 30, the House of Representatives passed
a bill calling the Fortieth Congress togeth
er on the 4th of March. Its passage in the
Senate by a vote of more than two-thirds is
ceriaiu. There is a creditable feature in
this bill, which is this, that the members ot
the present Congress who were re elected
to the next, will not be entitled to mileage
by the immediate transfer from the Tnirty
ninth to the Fortieth.
Had such a law as this been on the stat
ute book on the 3d of March,lB6s,the course
of Andrew Johnson and his "policy" could
have been arrested before he did so much
mischief by usurping tin; legislative power
of the Government.
The Troy Whig states that the mea
sles has been raging iu that city to an un
precedented extent for several weeks past,
but the disease is now somewhat abating.
One physician has been called in over three
hundred cases, but has had the good for
tune to lose only one or two patients.
There has beeu nearly one thousand cases
