Tun impeachment movement pro
grosses slowly. Tho popularity fought
by its prime movers is oven shadowed
by popular disfavor obaliiitf their ar

more experienced heads let ihu mutter
rest.
Tun Legislature occupies its time
mostly in tho passage of bills local and
personal. 'J ho Constitutional Amend,
ment has received some attontion but
Las not yot boon ratified. A general
railroad law is earnestly desired and
yet there is no movo toward its estab

15th inst, at Ifnrrisburg. The cere

THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.
An exchange notes that tho number
of Slates which have acted upon tho
Constitutional Amendment in referonco
to restoration, excluding tho disloyal
States, is not as great as many would
8iipposo. Up to thin timo tho ratifica
tion of tho Amendment in tho States
represented in Congress have been as
follows i Connecticut, June 27th 18HG
Tennessee, July Kith New Jersey,
September 11th; Oregon, j Ohio,
January -llli ; New York, January 10th;
Kansas, January 11 ill. The only re
jection has been by Kentucky, January
8lh. Thofuturo probabilities aro that,
in addition to the seven Stales which
have already ratified the amendment
it will bo confirmed by California, Illi
nois, Indiana, Iowa, Maii:e, Massachu
setts, Michigan. Minnesota, Missouri,
Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylva
nia, Rhode Island. Vermont, West
Virginia nudWisuonsin, making a to
tal of twenty-three. It will be rejected
by Delaware nuJ Maryland, making a
total ot three on that sido. If the doc
trine is established that it only requires
thrco-foiirtlis of Iho loyal States to rati
fy tho amendment, its success is esta
blished. Tho Southern States have
thus far voted against tho amendment
as follows! Georgia, Septomber 9th;

way, making the votes of tho Slates in

Slates have a right to volo upon the
subject, they will draw to them the votes
of Kentucky, Maryland and Delawtn,
making the total rejections thirteen.

CONVENTION OF WOOL GROWERS.
THE PENNSYLVANIA ASSOCIATION
ANNUAL MEETING.
Tho annual meeting of tho Pennsyl
vania Wool Growers' Association was
held yesterday, in tho Grand jury room,
! in the Court House. Dr. F. J. JU-Movne.
of Washington eouuiy, in the chair. In
the absence ot tho regular Secretary,
Mr. J. Mel), Glenn, of Allegheny, was
appointed Secretary, pro (cm. Alter n
few remarks by tho chairman, tho fol
lowing committees were appointed ;
Business James Slocuin, John W,
McDonald, Hugh Lee, F, Patterson,
John S Russell.
Nominating officer;; John II. lay
ing, Daniel Houston, Andrew Miller.
President LeMoyno slated to the
meeting that at the National Conven
tion held at Cleveland, a committee had
been appointed to visit Washington and
stay, to push tho matter ot a sufficient
tariff before the members. Ho then
made a few suggestions as to tho woik
the Business Committee had to do.
Mr. Glenn of Allegheny said, that he
thought t hat the report of Commissioner
Wells was more of a frco trade argu
ment than a tarilf one. Dr. LeMuyne
thought that the selling up of petitions
was of little uso. That question had
been discussed at the Cleveland Convcu
tion, and it' was then decided to do their
work in another manlier.
During the afternoon session tho re
port of the Committee on Business was
presented as follows ; That it is of the
first importance that tho wool growers
interest of our country should havo am
plo protection, nnd that tho present tar
ilf is wholly inadequate for that purpose.
Tho association thercforo resncetlullv
bul earnestly urges upon Congress the
passago of the bill, on Wool and Wool
ens, as passed by tho lower IIouso of
Congress at its last session.
We would recommend tor discu-sion
the wintering and general management
of sheep. Tho report was read and ac
cepted. Mr Slocuin, of Faycllo county, read
Uio hill mentioned above.
Mr. Leo, of Allegheny, said that the
bill as read did not exactly suit him,
but ho would be glad if they could get
it. Ilo thought they would bo doing
well it they did get it, but it would need
all their eft -its to that end. The gentle
man sp ike at length on tho competition
with the foreign production, and the
difficulties to bo overcome. Ho behev
cd that if this bill was parsed and in
operation' lighty.live percent, offoieign
wools wou'd come in at three cents du
ty. He therefore thought that tho bill
would not protect them enough.
Mr. MeFarland, of Washington coun
ty, coincided in the views of Mr. Lee.
Mr. Glenn, of Allegheny, made n
statement of tho manner ot shipping of
wools from foreign countries, and the
necessary proceedings tho foreign deal
ers had to take before our consuls abroad.
Ilo had been talking with a largo import
er, who argued tlr I tho tarilf proposed
was an unfair one. Ho thought t!yt the
great opposition uiado by Frco Traders
to tho new bill was cono'usivo cvidenco
that it w;uld bo for their benefit. lie
argued that this Asseeialioti should
abide by tho decision which the Nation
al Convention nad come to. That Con
vention had adopted this bill after full
mid free discussion and ho thought we
should abide by it.
He thought that if tho members
should show this Congress that this bill
is neoessary to them, it could bo passed.
If next year, this bill is found not to be
suited, then we will go to work again
and show the taut and havo ihu tarilf in
creased. It is necessary for us to
havo an iuorcaso ot the tariff and let us
show our Congressmen tho truth of this,
and they must give it to us. Ilo thought
wo ought to be satisfied with tho pres
ent bill at this time
Mr. McFiirland did not wish to dis
cuss tho quostion, but he thought that
this convention should recommend tho
bill as passed by tho last session of the
IIouso. Somo wool might creep in at
tho threo cent duty, but it oould not bo
helped.
A member oskod if thero was nny
difference in the bill recommended by
the National Convention and that pass
ed by the lower IIouso.
Mr. Lee stated that it was believed
that it was precisely the same.
Mr. McFarlaud moved the adoption
of tho following, as presented to the
Committee on Business, That the pres
ent tarilMs wholly, inadequate for the
purpose ot protection to the Wool u row
en. After some discussion on this
I point, tho whole report wns adopted as
tho -nse of the Convention.
A l,u iliiunw-'il ui unci nil' 11 nil Lll'lll'l
ill ninungcmoiit ot Miceii wns then
brought up, anil a numl.cr of gentlemen
expressed their views on this eiibjeet in
detail.
Mr. Glenn, ot Allegheny, offered a
resolution, as lollows, which n unani
mously adopted; Uelitvirg that lreo
trade, or a tarilt which extends no pro
tection to wool, would be ruinous to the
best interests of the country, w e pledge
ourselves, without di.-t'.clion of paity,
hereafter to support no man for Stato or
National elliee who is not heailily in fa
vor of protecting American industry.
Tho election of officers for the ensu
ing year was next taken up, when tho
following gentlemen, as u poi ted by tho
Commitsco, were unanimously elected ;

The two" great questions which aro at
present engaging the attention of tho
European statesmen are slowly but stead
ily approaching their final solution. In
Turkey, the resistance ot the Christian
population to the brutish despotism of
tho Turks has, since the beginning ot
the new year, largely gained in diinen
sion and strength. It is i.o longer Creto
alone which is in arms. Tho smaller
islands in tho Medit rranean havo iollow
ed tho examplo set by their larger sister
and united to chase the Turks from tho
sea. Tho province ot Thessaly, which
borders upon Greece, is likewise in full
insurrection, and tarnishes a convenient
rendezvous for tho great niimbur of
Greek youth who can no longer restrain
their warlike patriotism. In Greece
ll.o people, with tin astonishing unani
mity, aro bringing an irresistible piss
sure to bear upon' tho Government in

who constitute the bulk of the population

tho impending outbreak in Bosnia may,
therefore, givo to tho Turk:?, in a tow

eight months. Ilu-sia is quietly but

BREAK UP AT CINCINNATI.
Cincinnati, Juuuiiiy 17 The weather
suddenly turned very cold last night.
Tho thermometer at eight o'clock this

by here about midnight, tho ice exten
ding from shore to Hhore. The head of
the drift struck somo coal and ihitboats
lying above tho water-woiks, carrying
eighteen of them down Btream. The
gorge next struck tho steamer Argyle,
cutting her hull badly, and driving her
against tha America, a now boat buil
dinsr for tho Louisville mail line, and
both boats drilled down stream. Tho
America lay next above tho Pino Grove,
and struck her with great force, carry
ing away her guards and cook houso,
also breaking her cylinder. Tho New
port ferry boat, while making her trip,
was also caught in tho ice and carried
down stream, with the loss of ono of her
wheels. Tho America lies at the head
ot Picayune bar. Thy Argyle, at eleven
o'clock this morning, was at tho head of
MeCallum'H riille , and will probably

declare that, the nlectivu Iraiiohiso must
