ny is - in financial trouble. Its stock has
recently been quoted as low as 18, and its
bonds, payable in gold, as low as ' B7. The
prosperity of the coal trade during ihe later
years of the war, induced it to make vast
outlays in, conttrneting a railway, parallel
i to its etmal. froth Easton up to Minch
Chunk, and from thence, away from the
canal, over tbe ditdde, to,Wilkesbarre. ,As
there was no' profit in the itnthracite tride
last year, and none . this, ' embarassment
naturally ensues.
THE HOUSE agrees to adjourn from the
16th to the 25th. The resolution was once
defeated by the casting vote of Speaker COL
FAX, but subsequentlY renewed anti put
through by a majority of one: -Mr. COLFAX
deserves, credit for that vote, and :we hope
he will nothe the 'loser by it We --shoUld
express our hope that the Senate wpuld re

to hope for so sensible a decision. The ad-,
journment is ,to enable members to attend.
the Chicago Convention. Theyhave no busi

far better off without theirpresence. If im
peachment fails thimigh the weakness or
treachery of Republican Senators, these
would be likely to find Chicago rather an
uncomfortable place next week, - and. under

defeat the resolution.

for adieu fo-morrow. We trust the House
will pass the bill as to all the States sped.

apparently been made an omnibus measure
in order to' carry - through' Me one State

Republican pithy' cannot afford to disregard
its own; consistency. of record, or to..wink.

no prudent „ and' thoughtful friend of

IMPEACIIMES r
The air was filled with the- buzz : of ex
citing rumors from Washington, yesterday
afternoon. , Reports ran that, when the
Senate went into secret session after adopt
ing the suggestion of the Chief Justice, as
given in our dispatches, the expression of
opinions by individual Senators followed.
A. dispatch to the Chronicle says •.: -, . .
The result of the impeachment trial is I
clouded in doubt, although It is supposed "
that the President will be removed. The
session of the Court to-day is, with. closed,
door% When the final vota' . .Will be taken
is in doubt. A proposition *to plostriono
further action until the 15th of June has
been made by Republican Senators, and it
is claimed that a majority of Senators are
1 favor of the 'postponement, so that there
ino certainty that the final vote will be
tt k
-en on Tuesday, es heretofore ordered.
- I To-day. will "be ilevtited talargtircients liy
.*nators pro and con, but it is impossible to
slim up the status of the body on the great
question and it will probably remain so.
.r. Johnson seems to be perfectly confi
dent of acquittal.
Up to the time of adjourning, eight Sen
ators had spoken under the fifteen minutes.
=le, these were Stewart, Sherman, Grimes,
Hendricks, Edmunds, Williams, Howe and
Morrill, of Maine. Messrs. Stewart, Ed
munds, Williams and Morrill sustained all
the articles :of - impeachment, while Sher
man and Howe sustained only the second,
third,, fourth, eighth and eleverth. articles.
Messrs Grimes and Henrioks took sides
, with the President and declared him inno•
- cent of all the articles. My informant says
that all but the second, third, fourth, eighth
and eleventh article are sure to be defeated,
enough. Senators having expressed, them
selves inside of the Senate Chamber, who
have not spoken, to leave no doubt but the
others will be defeated.
Messrs. Trumbull, Fessenden, Ross and
Fowler have not, indicated as yet, how they
'will, vote, although it is expected that
.Trumbull and Fessenden will vote the
same as Sherman and Howe. A statement
was circulated throughout the Capital that
'Senator Trumbull had expressed himself
=intending to go against ,all the articles;•
Lilt it cannot be traced to any reliable
source. It.-is known, however, that be in
tends to speak during this afternoon, and
the excitement is rimming very high in
consequence, to know exactly how he
stands. The friends of impeachment are
not all discouraged by the treachery of Mr.
Grimgs, of lowa, although the feeling
against him is running very high among
the lowains at the Capital. The President's
private Secretary arrived at the Capitol
during the recess of the Senate, and was
closeted with Grimes in his committee room
during the rebess. . _
M.—After recess of the Senate
Garrett DavisLtook the floor in support of
the President's innocence, and was followed
by Senator Henderson, who spoke fifteen
minutes against the first eight articles, and
ceased on account of his time being up,
without declaring or intimating that he
was in favor of any of the articles. This
has discouraged the friends of impeach
ment somewhat.
Accepting this dispatch as reliable—and
we think it quite as reliable as Washington
specials generally are, for all of them weave
a very.Lirge filling of imagination upon the
slenderest threads of, trntk—it .is seen that
Mr. diu - sins will vote generally-for acquit—
tal, as everybody has expected hiin to fio,
that gHERMAIC and HOWE concur in
accepting but five of the articles,
rejecting the rest, that HENPERSON
condemned eight of the articles and
had no time left to' furnish the rest, and
that four other Senators sustained the en
tire indictment. We do not understand
liEraDEßsox's position> in the light of his
previous political history, and credit a good
deal less than half of the story. As to
SIIERMAN and HOWE, we shall be quite
satisfied if a two-thirds vote sustains their
position. And the accused will concur with
us that the wound thus - given him may not
be as deep as a well nor as wide as a church
door, but it will do his business forthira.
If the speculations embodied in the later
dispatch to the Associated Press should be
well founded, -- and the President's acquittal
be sustained by TRUICERJLL and FESSIENDEN
on all the articles, a conviction can only be
the result of the 'closest vote. Add with
these Games, and very possibly, Veri
Wrxxt,E, and FOWLER to the twelve Demo
crats„ and Mr jORNSON needs but two
more to save him. And a conviction, if
secured at all, may hang upon that much
derided eleventh article. We need express
no opinions upon these speculations. The
truth will be known to all to-morrow and
we forbear present remarks.
SECTIONAL POLITICS.
A New York , ; journal congratulates, its
readers and the pulAid upon the fact that we
"are now rid of that monstrous' anomaly in
our political system—the Southern vote."
There is much in this. The "Southern"
element in the political experience of tile
country, from.the - earliest.period. of bur Na.
tional existence, controlled parties and
shaped. the public_ policy, .at home and,
abroad, with an exclusive 'new; to - the main
tenance and, protection of the aristocratic
institution of slavery. No question of na
, tional import reached its decision without
first receiving the "Southern" endorse
, wilt, and no party expected or secured suc
cess which failed to conciliate this over
shadowing .anti , potential—influence,
Southern Politicians of all, parties were
champions of slavery first, and Whigs, or
Pemocrats afterwards. 'This "peculiar in.
ititution" was the touck-stone,oftrue South

THE NATIONAL MANUFACTITREHS ,
ASSOCIATION.
The first annual meeting of this Associa
tion, to be held at Cleveland on the 27th,
should witness,. a, very full representation .
from this city. 'At the prelikalitarrnieeting .
at Cleveland, in December, much regret
was expressed that a larger delegation was
not present from 'a district of such com
manding importance as this. It was felt
that the industrial interests of Pittsburgh
needed to be very independent of legislative
action, and very indifferent to the universal
demand for the reduction of taxes, the re
trenchment of expenditure and the reform
of the revenue service, to explain the non!
attendance of a large delegation of its repre
sentatives
at a meeting which could be made
so productive of general benefit to manufac
turers throughout the country. The ensu
ing meeting should have a strong delegation
from this cityarom every leading branch of
;.business, and, composed of the most intelli
gent and influential men. It - is within the
power of these industrial, interests, by, con
rcert of action, and the adequate and timely
1 presentation.of_their j@st.demands,to secure
that consideration from the Federal authority
to which they are entitled,. and to enforce
proper regard for their views upon the im-
1 portant subjects of retrenchment and re
i• form.. We hope that this matter will receive
1 the seasonable attention of all concerned,
and that Pittsburgh will send a strong dele
gation of its solid men to Cleveland on the
127th.
THE South Carolina Democracy vow that
they will never ricquiesce in the results of
Reconstruction, but will keep up an agita
tion until they gain the control "which of
right belongs to the power of mind."
They profess a willingness to concede a
qtfalified suffrage, with all other civil rights,
to the blacks, but "will never ampiiisco in
negro rule." Before the election; these gen
tlemen, in. State Convention, avowed a poli
cy of conciliation, for the evident purpose of
securing the colored vote. They recognized
this class of the populition as "an integral
element in the : liody- politic," and as such
entitled to equalprotection under, the law.
They also pledged to the blacks the right of
suffrage "under proper qualifications as to
property and intelligence." But their col-.
ored fellow-citizens - failed 'to "see it," end
over forty thousand majority for the new
Constitution and the Republican ticket il
lustrated their opinion of the sincerity Of
the Democratic offer. Now these gentle
pen, having failed to secure the blacks to
their suiSport, return to their true colors and
re-assert their determined Hostility to the
Congressional plan. Their protests now,
like their bribes heretofore, will prove fu
tile. The new era has been fully inaugur
ated in South Carolina, and will take 'no
step backward. Let the Democracy be en.,
couraged in the hope that future efforts, to
win the confidence of the Majority of their
citizens, will be more successful than the
first has been. - ,
THE SOUTHERN MISSION CONFERENCES,
of the Methodist Church, are so called be
cause the field is nominally in the regular
possession of the other wing, known as the
Church South, and such conferences as have
chosen to unite themselves to the Church
North are regarded as, in that respect, mie
aims in a foreign field. These Conferences .
have a white memberehlp, of ninety thou
sand, and the two colored Conferences have
over twenty-six thousand members. It is
the question of admitting these bodies, ir
respective of color; which is now under dis
cussion at Chicago, but it is well understood
that if there were no colored Conferences
interested, no discussion would have arisen,

as deadly as • prussic acid. The basis or the regular

amount of "herbal extracts" can overcome the bad
tendency of this pernicious element.' The essence
of sound Rye, thoroughly rectitled“ is the only
