ItItIIACHIMENT.
Although the .question of impachment .
was not .. setnary disposed .4:of by Congress
yesterday, a pointwas reachedwhich demon
strates the failure of the movement. Mr.
toutwell - concluded his argument, whie
may be accepted as covering the whole
position -of the majority of the Com
mittee. Mr. ;Boutweffs able effort is
mainly directed to the ; establishment
of two points. First, that the - - "high crimes
and misdemeanors" which are made im-'
peachahe under the Constitution are not
confined to Offences which • are indictable
under statute law. This .point is thus ex
pressed by Mr. arutwell:
"After roost careful deliberation,' I rest firmly'.
in the opinion that the phrase,*brtioery and other.
high crimes and misdemeanors,' "{used in the
Constitution in adcordance with and subject to'
the principle and rule of reason which lie at the
foundation of the English common law of,
crimes. This rule is that no person can lawfully
do an act contrary to good morals; and subject
ing the provisions of the Constitution to this
rule, the mutt is that neither the President,'
Vice President, nor any civil ofileet% can lawfully
do any act, either official or otherwise, that Is
contrary to the good morals •of the office he
bolds."
Having made this - point Mr. Boutweli
proceeds to argue, with great .force, that the
- whole line , of policy.pursual by the President
has been subversive of good public morals.
Reviewing his whole comae, he freely admits
that there is no one specific and heinous
offence to be proved against the President,
but he urges that ail the teachings of the
great mass of testimony point in, one direc
tion, and that the evidence convicts him of
"having lased,- as be had opportunity, and
having misused, as circumstances and necessity
compelled him, the great powers of the govern
ment in the -Interest of the rebellion, so that
henceforth this nation; in its legitimate connec
tion, in its relations, in its powers, in its histori
cal rights, should be merely the continuation of
the government that was organized at Montgo
mery and transferred to'Richmend."
This position, Mr. Boutwell enforces with
great calmness, clearness and ability. He
accepts as "the key that unlocks the whole
mysterious conduct" of Mr. Johnson, his de
claration made at the Burnett House, in Cin
cinnati,,in February, 1865, that "there was
no way to save the Union except*through the
Democrlttic party." And in thisotheory Mr.
Boutwell is probably correct. Mr.4Ohnson's
instincts have always bound him to the tra
ditions of the pro-slavery Democracy, and
though washed, for the time, in the pure
waters of Republicanism, he has 'naturally
returned to his wallowing in the mire.
Mr. Bontwell has argued his case in ex
cellent temper. There is no.attempt at rhe
torical effect, and no exhibition of heated
partisanship. He declares himself thoroughlY
convinced • that the President is guilty of
"high crimes and misdetnetutors," under the
Constitution, but also asserts his readiness to
"accept the judgment of the House as 11 pa
triotic judgment." His speech upon this ,
important question is highly creditable to
American statesmanship, and will add much
to the reputation which Mr. Boutwell has
gained in the public affairs of the country.
The task of replying to Mr. Boutwell de
volved upon Mr. Wilson. His speech,
however, was merely a reiteration of the
argument of the minority report, based upon,
the idea that no eh it officer of the Govern
ment can be inspea( hed, except f q r a crime
or misdemeanor known to the law. Mr.
Wilson was grief; and fell far short of any
thing like nrefutation of the materly argu
ment of his antagonist. But brief as he was,
he was careful to keep his hands clear of
Andrew Johnson. He declared that he was
not there to defend him. Ile was not bold
enough for such a task as that, even if he
had the inelination, which he had not.
But the House has made up its mind on
the policy of impeachment. Satisfied with
the damning record which both the majority
and minority reports have made against the
President, the greater part of the Republican
members prefer to worry along with him
during the brief remainder of his term,
I rather than to take the risks of the Senate,
and the tedious uncertainties of a long im
vachment trial, when so much vital busi
ness is pressing upon them. The impeach
mentef Hastings lasted for seven long years,
and it would not be difficult for Mr. Johnson
to eke out the fifteen months of office that
remain to him by technical postponements
and delays,.
It; is to be hived that Messrs. Logan,
Schenck, and otheis who desire it, may be
permitted the fi , iemainute speeches they
dentaiid: The House tan well afford an
hour, to P' omit these gergemen to be heard,
especial ) as it is now well ascertained that
the fir Al result of the Vote is perfectly
astur 4 Andrew Johnson will not be int•
pea', e d at the bar of the Senate. Be is
air.eady arraigned, tried and convicted at a
I iigher tribunal. The people have proncruaced
their voWiet with a unanimity that 'haves
him without ,filends, without a partymithout
respect. Hated, feared, despised st home;
condemned and denounced by the' more
imPartial judgment of Europe, ho is an
object almost worthy of pity; Congress
brands him and leaves him. WM pressing
needs of the country demand its Whole atten
tion. Grave questions stand waiting for
settlement on every %Bide. -At each step
Congress must expectlo meet Mr. Johnson
as a bar and hindrance to all qegislation; but
'Congress and theVresident have both learned
that, 'with all his desire for evil, there is a
power which the people have reposed in
their representatives which is higher and
stronger then the factious vetoes of an
obstinate and self-willed Executive. All
things considered, it is best that .the vexed
question of,lirnpeachment is to be thus re
moved from the arenwof American politics.

Mexico; Central America, Venezuela, Bra
zil, the 'West Indies and ether Foreign coun
tries have cadh and all been tried by those
unsubelued Southern rebels who swore . that
nothing could induce them to remain in the
detest td United States. A great many have
broken this oath as they did other oaths be
fore and during the war, and they are now
once more living under the American flag
much more comfortably than they ever did
under any other. But a few still hold out.
A. certain Colonel R W. Graham is in Kings
ton, Jamaicaovhence he writes a letter to
"Mon. J. M. Mason, late C. S. Commis
sioner." He tells him that "having become
digitated with the Federal Gfivernment," he
had tried British Honduras, but finally had
settled in 'Jamaica, which he describes as a
paradise for "Confederates."
Mr. Mason receiving the letter in Canada,
replies to- it; and has the correspondence
publizEid in the Richmond papers. He
thinks titpt it is best for the discontented
Tonfedekates" to wait, "in the hope and be
lief that a time must come when the reckless
and unscrupulous party in poWer at Wash
ington will be overthrown." He thinks that
: in such case the Southern' States will again
'become masters of the situation, and that,
without actually reducing the negroes to
slavery they can "be made to discharge the
incumbent duties of a laboring class—a hope
now much encouraged by the apparent tone
'of the North, as evinced in the late elections."
This is really the plan of the leading pro
slavery men of the South. They desire "ex
clusive control" of the negroes,. to .use Mr.
Mason's own words; which Means that they
want slavery re-established in fact, if not in
name. ' "The apparent tone of the North,, as
• evinced in the 'late elections," gives them
hope of success. So those Republicans
'of this State who neglected to vote for their
'candidates, can see how their action is inter
, preted bileading men of the South, and how
• they propose to profit by it. .
The cleaning of the struts of Parisis done
'by contract, but as compared with similar
.operations in this country, there is a
' , remarkable difference in the •relations of
the parties doing the work and those who
have to pay for it. In the French capital,
the contractors for cleaning the streets re
ceive the dirt for their oompensation, and
they also pay for the privilege of scraping it
together and carrying it off. The amount
'of bonus thus paid has gradually been going
, npward, until at the present time the parties
who clean the streets of Pails annually pay a
sum equal to one hundred and twenty
thousand dollars in gold for the privilege of
gathering up this dirt. It will be understood,
too, that the dirt is not allowed to accumu-
Lateuntil 'the scavengers can wade knee
deep through it; but the thoroughfares
of the great city on the Seine must not only
be cleaned but they must be kept thoroughly
cleaned, and this result is obtained by con
stant attention and and abundant .means to
accomplish the end. In our own city the
cost of cleaning the streets has gone upward
from year to year, until we now•pay oonsid
erably more to contractors for pot 'doing it
than the municipality of Paris hay.paid to it
for the/privilege of doing it effectually and
satinfacterily. Labor is cheaper in Paris
than In /Philadelphia, and dirt is more valua
ble there for manuring purposes; and, be
sides, ;French skill and economy utilize and
turn to profitable account much that we
throw away.- It is sOrcely reasonable to ex
pect the 'streets of an American city to be
cleaned as cheaply as the same work can be
performedzin France; but we certainly pay
quite enough to have the work efficiently
done, sad unless the contractor can live up
to hie bargain, he should not have
made such • a contract. At this
time very few streets of Philadelphia
are kept in a proper condition of cleanliness,
and very many Of them are in an absolritely
Maly state. The season admonishes us of
the upproach of hard frosts, when the frozen
mud will refuse to yield to likoom or scraper.
Then will come snows and thaws, with the
consequent pasty mud, so characteristic of
the streets in winter, so destructive to cloth
ng and furniture, so offensive to. sight ;and
tmell, and , so great a reproach to public de . -
cency. 'here have been many experiments
tiled with a view to getting rid of this muddy
evil; but they all seem to be 'failures, for
now, at the close of 1,867, and (It the thres
hold of winter, after our dear-bought expe
rience, we find ourselves still in the mire. A
thorough reform is needed in this important
departroent of the public service.
Nesterday,in the Court of Quarter Sessions,
the usual routine of habeas corpus, larcenies
and assaults and batteries was varied by a
suit brought by a young woman against a
young man for the heinous offence of tread
ing upon, the skirt of her dress, which was
trailing upon the sidewalk behind her. The
indignant damsel testified that the diffendartt
was on the curbstone and after she passed he
trod upon her dress, and placed his band
upon her shoulder; she turned, expecting an
apology, and found him laughing. When
Pat thought things were going tamely off on
a certain testive occasion, he exclaimed :
"lialfpast ten o'clock at Donnybrook Fig
and not a drop of 'blood spilled yet! Will
anybody have the ki,udnelta to tread, on the
all of tor coat!" Pat-y*llW to try the vir- .

don for assault Aga battery under a similar
prosecution-, and if the Irishman got his head
broken for his pains, Miss scarcely fared
better, for iihe lost her cause, the jaty ac
quitting the ' , defendant without leaving the
box. As some ladies will •still persist in
doing
,scavenger-work with their dress-skirts,
and as' masculine humanity cannot always
obey the railway admonition, not to get upon
the train'while it is in motion, it would be
well to have the rights of all parties clearly
understood. • Judge Brewster laid down the
law upon the subject by charging the jury
that it it was the fault of the prosecutrix, the
fault of the dress, or the fault of the fashions,
then the defendant would not be to blame.
If ho intentionally trod upon the dress, with
a desire to do injury, he would be guilty of
assault and battery, as that offence might be
committed by pulling a man's coat, the coat
being a pait of the person, It is well that
the mixed jury system has not yet been
established in this part of the'country. Think
of what trouble one strong-minded female
juror might give in such a case as this?
The firemen's convention, that was formed
for the purpose of attempting to get fifty per
cent. added to the annual appropriations to
the steam fire engine companies, met last
evening. The delegates did not give to each
other a very encouraging account of their
efforts to persuade members of City Councils
into adding $47,000 a year to the already
enormous expense of supporting the Fire
department. A committee appointed for the
purpose reported that they had called on the
Councilmen of a number of Wards, and they
found them generally to be in favor of either a
Paid Fire Department,or of a large reduction
in the number of companies. A plan for a
paid department is now before City Councils.
and even though this particular plan should
not be adopted, the end of the volunteer'
system is inevitable, and not very far distant.
Like the paying of public officers with fees,
and somo other antiquated abuses that still
hold a lingering existence, the volunteer tire
system.belongs to the era of door-porches,
wooden water pipes, town pumps, tallow
candles, town criers and leather fire-buckets.
The great argument of increased expensive
ness, hitherto urged, against the change from
a volunteer to a fultyaid system, has lost its
force, for the old systebrhas become so costly
that the change would be directly economical.

The Inquest in the case of the boiler explosion
on the steamer Matanzas was concluded yester

A sad story has just come to light in the case
of two young Brooklyn girls (sisters) who were
offered situations as' dressmatirs by a pretended
milliner on West Broadway, who, after taking
them Into her employ, enticed them away from

A serious accidmat happened on the lower

the steamboat Marshal, of the Cornell Towing
Line, of Kingston, was on her way down the
river, having in tow a number of barges and
canal boats, when suddenly one of the fines of
her boilers collapsed. The steam escaped with
great velocity, and before the engineer, Mr. Par

the way they were terribly scalded about the
face and hands. No one else on board the Mar

CHARLES PICKENS.
Close of the Readings lou Boston.
Bosroy, Dee-'6, 11, o'clock I.'-3t--This evening
Mr. Dickens gave his that of the series of read
ings announced for this city. It comprised
"Little Dombey" and "The Pickwick Trial."
Nearly all readers of fiction know well the spirit
of totiching tenderness that pervades those chap
ters of "Donabey and Son" which recount the
death of Little Paul. No piece could more test
a reader In the finer requirements of his art in
the less striking transitions from vein to vein,
where nothing is extravagant and where
there is no possible opportunity to take refuge in
the broad and easy appeals Ito applause. In no
piece has Dickens been more sue cessfuL His
voice, flexible and sensitive In the highest de
gree presents the general 'narrative; the speech
of Little Paul and of Florence with the moat na
tural feeling, and runs by such an easy flow into
the quaintness of Toots, that it is-Impossible to
analyze how the change has come over us or to
say where we began to feel the disposition to In
dulge such laughter as t the character provokes.
It Is a rarer-ability to be able to. read this piece
up to its Proper standard than to write it. It was
received with a deep attention that was full of
sympathy with its spirit.
"Dombcy" was followed - by "The Pickwick
Trial," the only repetition in the course. No
piece could better bear repetition, certainly, than
the one In which we meet such staunch favorites
as Weller and Winkle or look upon the bewild
ered gravity of Justice Btareleigh.
Thus closed the Boston readings. Mr. Dickens
will leave for New York to-morrow, In order to
be comfortably bestowed and well rested for his
sppearanee on Monday night.'
General lialheock and the Democrats.
IWishington CotTeopondeneo of the N. Y. Tribune.]
h.moug the arrivals in the city yesterday were
John B.Tiaskin, of New York,
John Hickman,
of Pennsylvania, and .John F. Reynolds, of Al
bany, all es-members of the House. These three,
It will be remembered, were the anti-Loccnnton
Democrats, who gave the organization of the
Howe in 180 to theßephblicans. They all met
on the poor of the House yestenlay, and their
being hero excites considerable comment. Mr,
Hatkin 'spent au hour with. the President early
this evening, and afterward was one of a party
of politicians who spent' the remainder of
the evening at Montgomery Blair's. Mr. Raskin
has been sounding President Johnson , on the
Presidential 'question; and the meeting at Mr.
Males laulght was for the purpose of comparing
netts on A candidate. The Chances of Johnson,
Seymour, Pendleton, and others were severally
discussed, but none of them were accepted. A
new an was agreed upon, and his name is Gen.
W. S. Hancock. Messrs. Raskin, Reynolds, and
ethers, who had Just been with the President,
stated that Mr. Johnson told them that General
Hancock was doing admirably, and had only be
gun the programme that had been laid out -by
them some two months_ ago.- They allow it to
be understood that General Hancock was Mr.
Johnson's choice, and was the only mat that
could make a show against Grant. Con
sequently , this clique , ' of politician s , •at
their meeting to-night, privately nominated
General Hancock as the De'mocratie candidate

[Special Debpatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.]
WAiIfINGTON, Dee. 7.
No sooner bad the House resumed the subject
of impeachment to-day, than the impeachers
commenced to glibuster.
General Logan stated that if the majority
would allow the minority ten minutes to give
their reasons for not dropping the subject, , they
would then consent to a vote being taken.
This probably would have been acceded to, but
for the objection being made by Mr. Spalding, of
Ohio.
Gen. Logan then moved that the House adjourn
until Monday next, and called for the yeas and
nays. They were called on the adjournment,
and the House astfused to do so. Gen. Logan
then Stated 4 Sat at, Mr. Wilson would withdraw
the motion/to lay the subject on the table, and
vote direet on the question of impeachment, the
minority would withdraw all oppOsition. Mr.
Wilson accepted this, and - the vote was then
taken fair and square on the impeachment reso
lution. Yeas were '4, nays 103. Many members
were absent, and there were no -manifestations
of applause on either side at the result. This
ends the great question of the impc4iPbment of
the President, and the vote for impeachment was
precisely the number estimated in these des
patches a few days since.

The yearly report of the. Hudson% Bay Com
pany, just issued, states that the returns of the
year promise to he satisfactory so far as the
quantity of furs is concerned, although a partial
falling off has taken place in martens; and al
though a large portion of the returns from Mac
kenzie River has not been forwarded. In Ru
pert's Land, the report says, there are sytuptoms
of a dispositien to settle, edveral persona hay
ing lately emigrated there front Canada. In view
of this, the directors state that they are more
than ever anxious for a speedy conclusion of the
questions pending between thecompany and Her
Majesty's governnieni. They may rely un
one thing, viz.: That no' one would go from
Canada or anywhere else, and take up their
abode In Rupert's Land,, if they for ono
moment imagined it probable that that
territory would long remain under the
management, or rather mismanagement, of
the Hudson's Bay Company. Although the rates
at which furs nave been sold this year have been
somewhat lower than usual, the committee of
management recommend that the usual interim
dividend of eight shillings per share should be
paid in January. With a view of making the
Canadian authorities more ready to come to
terms, the company have - lately revival the re
port about negotiations with the United States
Government for the transfer of the Northwest
territory to the Americans.

took place in the House to-day, when Mr.
Schenck reported back, from the Ways and
Means Committee, the bill to suspend the further
contraction of the currency. A disposition
was manifested to enter upon a discus

finance, but Mr. Schenck was inexorable In his
demand for the previous question, and refused
to yield either for debate' or amendment. He
said the committee would aford
ample opportunity ifor discussion when the
future bill was report koing more luto the
