On the outride of (lie present issue of

mend to tli c attention of t ho citizens of
niir comity. As will be seen the purpose
i-t tbe company is to iret a line of Kail

id lln.'l'alo. There in now in operation a
v.nd from Lnyfayatte, in Mclvcan coun.
ty, to Caioliton, a station ou the line ol
(lie New oik it l-Jrio. From Lafayette
to Johnstmhurg, on the lino of the P. &
K. J!. . the distance is lint ttcnitg mile,
mil to t. Mary's, Lut tucntj'foitr
tniics. lt, Mary's is but ten miles cast
ct this poiut, nnd Johnsonburg eight
miles wot. At both of these places coal
ij abundant, and only awaits a market
to lave thousands of ruiuers employed
in dicing it. Then wc have tho Shaw,
unit and the Kcisoy coal Companies
which would doiivc immense benefit from
u:h mi cutlet. Tukii.j; all together,
we think that some nearer connection
with the lake?, would be of incalculable
benefit to our county. It looks to us as
very probable that we will have a road
completed to one of the above points in
this county possibly to both before
(mother winter closes in. Let our citi.
yens take hold of the matter and sec
what can be done.
ti'orc to be I intone.
Anions the causes of the popular up
lisif'g against K ulieal suprc niacy, is the
jurit indignation of the masses of tho
North at the injustice and oppression
pr ii'ticid upon their fellow-countrymen
of the h'ouih. Our national character
is not cruel nnd vindictive, nor can the
teachings and the example of a faction
make it f-o. At tho close of the war,
when wounds were smarting and the
mold was still fresh ou tho gravos of the
fallen, there was naturally iu the popu
lar heart some degree of resentment and
hard feeling. 5ut that has all passed
away, and, except in the bosoms of
ruthless demagogues and blood-thirsty
fanities. the CUcxiiLdejLrQ.i.01l,.9r8
nnd good will between the two sections.
This conciliatory spirit is not due exclu
sivcly to tho generous impulses of the
people, but is partly founded upon their
appreciation of the proper course to be
pursued tu insure the general prosperity
and the safety of the country. A party
that lives and thrives upon the elements
of convulsion may wish to keep alive
the embers of strife and to provoke the
discord that enables thorn to retain their
usurpations ; but the intelligent masses,
having changed their swords into plow
shares, and having passed from the fields
of war to those of industry, desire tran
quility and order, and are uuwilling to
injure their interests for tho sake of in
flicting torments and insults upon tbeir
unarmed and unresisting countrymen.
Therefore, when the Democracy shall
have regained tho nssendancy in the
National Congress, which will bo the
inevitable consequence of the preseut
sentiment of tho people, it cannot bo ex
pected that tho fabric of injustice
wrought by the lladiauld in the South
will be permitted to stand. Just so
surely a3 it is based upon injustice un.
constitutionality and unrcpublioanism,
just so cutely must it be swept away,
leaving no more trace of its existence
than if it had never been. The whole
process of what the Radicals call recon.,
struction, unconstitutional from the be
ginning, is to be specdilyand completely
undone. The woik of the conventions,
with all the questions of negro suffrage,
representation in Congress, local govern
ment and judicial action involved, must
be either be declared null and void, or
Lo reviewed or passed upon by the peo
ple of the South under those constitu.
tional forms and proceedings that would
bo used by the people of any of the
States of the Xorih.
' m .
In Ohio, Minnessota, Kansas and
AVi.--con.-in, the votsshows that the Rad
icals arc largely opposed to oegro suf
frage ; yet they acquiesce in the 'policy'
of their leaders, which is to force negro
puflVago upon tho people of teu of tho
Southern States. Is this tho tendency
ol "grand moral ideas?" Do such
Radicals pretend to be Christians ? Can
they soy that they aie goveroned by tho
g&Hcn rule " Do unto others as you
won! i wi-.li other io do u:ito you?"

The Impeachment Question.
Wasuinuton, November 25.
Tbe inauguration of the impeachment
movement in tho House to-day attracted
o largo crowd of visitors to tho galleries,
and the excitement extending to the
Senate, that body adjourned after a very
brief session, nearly all the Senators
present repairing to tho Hall ot llepro.
sentatives, to witucss tho opening of the
great impeachment ball. It was hinted
last week that a change of views had
taken place iu the Judiciary Committee
on the question, and that Mr. Churchill,
of New York, had gone over to the im
pcachcrs. This story was so generally
credited that numbers on both sides were
prepated for just such a report as was
presented. Neverthe!ess, tho rumor was
flatly contradicted at the Capitol this
morning, and it was not known positive,
ly outside what would be tho character
of tho report until Mr. Boutwell (ut
2;40 P. M.) rose, and submitted it as
tho views of the majority of tho commit,
tee. The excitement at this poiut was
intense. The demand for the reading
of the document, however, had the cf.
feet of diminishing the crowd somewhat,
besides giving evidence that no imme
diate action would be taken, which turn
ed out to be true, for after a portion of
the report had been read, it was agreed
to have it printed, and the whole sub
ject postponed until Wednesday, the 4th
of December. The very able report of
the minority of the committee in opposi
tion to the impeachment scheme was
presented by Mr. Wilson and ordered to
bo printed. There was a great scramble
for printed copies of the evidence, only
a limited number of which were ready
for distribution. The probable action
of tho House on the exciting question
now beforo them is actively discussed.
Tho iropeacherf, led by Uoutwell, of
Massachusetts, and Williams, of your
State, claim that they have a majority
of all the members ou their side. Ash
ley is remarkably quiet, and scem3 rath,
er tudiffcrcnt to the result. Wilson, of
Iowa, and Bingham, of Ohio, are mar
shaling their f orces on the Republican
side, and hope, with the aid of the Dcm.
ocratic vote, to be able to kill the prop
osition as soon as it shall come up. So
far as can bo ascertained thero is very
little disposition on the part of the Sous.
ate Republicans to have tho matter sent
to them, but the IIouso impeachers are
straining every nerve to throw tho issue
in their hands. The action of the com
mittee was communicated to the Presi
dent early this afternoon, but it had
been anticipated at tho White House
.Vetcs fetus.
