The friction is reduced by IRON BALLS, 80
arranged in all the bearings, that the whole

lever, will keep the power in motion. Thus per-

duced bill for the admission Of West Virgin
ia into the Union, and for other purposes, which
was read a first and second time, and referred
to the committee on Territories.
THURSDAY, June 26--In the Senate, the bill
to grant the proceeds Of certain public lands to
aid in the construction Of the Northern Pacific
Railroad, was passed. The Senate resolved t.
self into High Court Of Impeachment for the
trial Of Judge Humphrey Themembers cfthe
House we're presen. and participated in the pro.
ceedings. The accused was then summoned to
appear, but no response being made, the wit
nesses for The prosecution were sworn and their
evidence taken. The impeachment was car.
ried, article BY article, with the exception of q
specification in the sixth article, declaring him
guilty Of having cOn6scAsed the property Of cit
izens. A resolution was then adopted declAr-
ing the court Of opinion that the accused be re-
moved from the Office Of District Judge for the
District Court Of the United States for the dis
trict Of Tennessee, and that he be disqualified
from holding or epjOying any Office of honor,

wooi Trado IN OIarke Comfy.

The Springfield 70 Neps gives the follow
ing items Of the wool trade in that section:
Over five hundred and fifty thousand (550, 600
pounds of wool have been bought b, Springfield
buyers In this county. Messrs. Foos Il Co
(Which firm is composed of VIM. Foes, 9 s
Foos, and II. M Shepherd) have purchased
two hundred and fifty thousand (25O, 900,
pounds. Messrs. Rabbits & Foos composed ol
G Rabbits and John Foos) have bought about
one hundred and seventy-fve thousand (l75,
OO0) pounds. Messrs, Clark & Brother (frm
composed Of G. M Clark and John D. Clark
have bought over one hundred and twenty-five
thousand (l25 .0OO) pounds The average price
per pound has been about forty two cents 20 42)
per pound for good Merino and grade wools.-
The wool has come into market In better con.
dition than ever before. Since sheep owners
can protect themselves beforehand against
dogs, there will probably be an increase in the
quantity of wool grown In the county. As 1t is
now, Clarke is probably the banner wool-pro-
duoing county In the State of Ohio pn
By the foregoing figures 1t appears that $23l, :
0OO in cash has been paid out to farmers in
Clarke county within the past few days!

TaxasIon1 and AbOIi.IOnv a

Though the war creates necessity for high
or taxes than the American people have before
known, the people can and do appreciate this
necessity, and they will cheerfG.iy pay the taxes
II they can feel assnrancs OF two things: J..
That the war shall be conducted to its end for
the simple legitimate object for which 1t was
commenced, 2 That waste and proHigacy and
corruption in the public expenditures shall
cease, and that such expenditures shall be
made with the strictest economy consistent
with energy and efficiency In the prosecution Of
the war.
Nothing can 90 much cripple the ability of
the people TO pay the taxes as to divert the war
from the legitimate object fer which it was
commenced 60 the illegitimate object of aboli
tionism. Whatever reduces the wages of labor
reduces the ability of the people to pay taxes.
Slavery cannot be abolished In the South with
out throwing into the North an immense negro
population which will become competitors Of
white labor, reducing prices TO the starvation
point. Illinois, to be sure, has opposed bar
rier to the coming Of this population, but sur
rounding States have not, and she would
hence suffer about as much from the competi-
tIon as they. Nor does the evil stop here. The
surplus OF labor would create the necessity for
more taxes to support the laboRers who co1ld
not support themselves. Practically the redun-
dent negro population would have to be sup.
ported by. Increased public taxes levied upon
reduced prices Of labor.
We say nothing of the decentralization ofso-
ciety and the decline in the value Of property
always consequent upon the presence of q large
free negro population. Our suggestions have
reference only to the present question of taxa
ton. taf ~
The people Of the country can bear, or they
will try to bear, the taxes necessary to carry
the war TO legitimate termination. They
cannot bear the taxes which will come to them
if the war shall be used for the abolition Of
slavery.
The people must not wait until the gigantic
evil shall be upon them; they must take the
alarm now, and that alarm must move them to
the consideration of the abaolute necessity Of a
reypiutiOp in Congressat the ensuing elections.
