AN OVER CROWDED LABoR MARkEr

The New York papers we see are cautioniny
country workmen against seeking employment
in New York city, telling them that the labor
market there is overstoc ked, business dull. and
multtudes OF workmeR are discharged while
the rate OF wages is falling. We feel it duty
to give the same warning to persons coming to
Washington in quest OF employment. In our
long experience in the newspaper business
we have never before known SO mauy
persons out Of employment in this CITY
A lorge portion OF the floating population
brought here by the war still iinger long after
the demand for their labor has ceased, ana
jostle each other for . livelihood in all the
trades, and in a fierce contest for the smallest
governmental office. Descending the social
scale we have some thirty thousand coll
ored people. contrabancs, &C., seeking
employment here, OF whom 1t is safe 10
say that twenty thousand will not average
days work in week during the coming win

TIE THREATENED IMPEACHMENT

The crazy idea Of attempting the impeaeh-
ment Of the President, if ever seriously con-
templated by the extremists, has been aban-
doned by all but Wendell Phillips and Gen.
Ben +. Butler. 1t is denied now on behalf of
Hon. John A. Bingham, of Ohio, that he ever
made use of the threat to move the impeach-
ment OF the President at the approaching ses-
sion of Congress. except Professionally in case
fne President should officially assert what it
was alleged he had unoffcialiy proclaimed,
tnat Congress was an illegal body unlawfully
assuming the functions of legislation. The
fact - that even the bitterest of the extreme
men find the project of attempted impeachment
OF the President on purely partizan grounds so
untenabie that they are glad to abandon il, or
to explain away their advocacy Of it into the
merest seneralities.
