The project to imre.ch the President, the
telegraph announces, has been dropped at
Washington Such radical leaders as Stew.
ems, Chase, Fessenden, and others, on the
projec: being named to them, hooted at 1t as
ridiculons-ahsard. The fact that it was the
pet project of Butler the Beast was of itself
sufficient to give it quietus. No abuse or
corruption can be named in the presidential
Office, supposeable or possible, but was
60 ualled in the actual performance by Butler
in his administration at Fortress Monroe
and New Orleans.
What are the charges on which Butler
proposed to have the President impeached
LIST, His speeches during his western tour.
Foolish as we're some Of Johnsons speeches
on that tour, did he utter anything to com>
pare in vulgar brutality with either Buffers
Chicago Or Brooklyn speech? 2. The Pres
ident appointed men to Office after the senate
had rejected them. Lincoln did the same
thing in the case of Frank Blair and dozens
of others that could be named, and besides,
the Attorney General, the Presidents Official
adviser. decided that he had the right to do
so. 3d. The President has pardoncd rebels
Besides his unquestioned- right under the
constitution to pardon any criminal, congress
in 1863 passed an act coaferr:ng upon the
President special powers to extend pardon
to all rebels BY proclamation. 4th. New
Orleans massacre. The President knew
nothing about 1t until it was over; and
would have prevented it had not that iadlcal
pet, Stanton, suppressed dispatch to the
President informing him Of the impending
danger.
The truth is the whole impeachment
scheme was concocted by Butler to deveit
attention from his own delinquencies and no'o-
rious crimes, and possibly to deter the Presi-
dent from instItu;ing . closer investigation
into his administration at New Orleans and
other points.

Our Paper.

The FREk TRADER, for some time past,
has not been, either in its editorial OK me-
shanical arrangements, such paper as we
have felt to be dae to Our subscribers The
demand upon our advertising columns has
been greater than we could accommodate in
Justice to most of our readers. The type,
too. upon which the paper Is printed, is con-
sidsrably worn, aud the print is not such as
10 be credtable to an office that proposes to
do Job work equal to any Chicago establish
mcnt The difficulty in the way of such a
radical improvement az we have desired to
make, has been the want of suitable press
machine costing 81 500 to $4,000. OF
late, however, the pressure has become SO
great that we have been obliged to yield to
it, and we have ordered q new power press
~ we'll as new set of type all round. 1t
will take some weeks, however, befLre the
press will arrive, and before all our arrange.
rueuts car be completed. But then-say in
eight or ten weeks more, at the farthest, we
hope to be able to present the Free TRADER
in q new and enlarged form, printed in a
style that shall not only be a credit to ours
selves but to our city: and 50 improve it cdi-
toriallv rs we'll rs mechanically, rs shall
make it n welcome az we'll as useful visitor

Annexation Of Canada.

The Rev. j. A. Allan, on the 22d ult.,
preached i strong sermon, or rather made a
.peech, in the cathedral at Kingston. in
favor of annexation 10 the United States.
His remarks were SO we'll received that mex,
day meetings we're held at Montreal and other
places to agiiate the same question. The
difficulties attending the project of Union
of tie provinces, the fear and disquietude on
account Of Fenian invasions, and the GOODNESS
and Indifference of England towards the
Canadas, have given a new impulse TO tie
annexation movement.
A Montreal dispatch Of the 23d says:
All day there has been intense excitement
il this city, particularly in official circles,
&ith regard to the annexation movement and
the Fenian invasion. There are upward Of
five thousand strangers in this city and st.
Albans, chiefly United States ex-velunteers,
aud this, along with the growing feeling in
favor of annexation, causes unusual anxiety
and great excitement.
To add to the general feeling, the Frcuch
Canadians are exa,peratei beyond all meas

Prote.tants to the Queen on the school cues.
ton, and as they are believed to be friendly
to the United States, und in favor of annexa-
ton, and also friendly to the Fenisns from
religious notions, the government finds itself
in a terrible quandary-bsing between three
cross>fres of opposition.
For several days past, French lawyers and
orators have been travelling throughout Cam
ada East. haranguiug the people after serv>
ices on Sundays and other church DAYS in
which speeches annexation to the United
States has been boldly advocated.
II the hotels. saloons, and on the street
corners, crowds are constantly collected dis.
cussing the anne xation question, and il is
reported IN official circles that the Catholic
clergy are secretly in communication with
Fenian leaders.
Large delegations of French Canadians
came up the St. Lawrence river to-day from
the lower parishes of Canada East, and /,
was a mos. singular fact that in the crowds
which arrived, every hete ard there was to
be seen the well>known blue oyercoat of the
United States volunteer.
Last night, the inhabitants of this city were
astonished at band marching along Notre
Dame street. playing yankee Doodle" the
"Star Spangled Banner and other United
States national airs.

This falling OIL Is attributed solely to the
large supply Of stock in the country, and
while there may be slight reaction il. the
latter part Of December, the general opinion
is that for the next six months the average
of prices cannot be higher than we quote
to-day. Large operators, with plenty of
means to hold cattle, have no faith in proph
ecies of better prices; and one firm, at loss
of near $4,000 per week, continue to send
cattle forward in even larger numbers th an

pork, beef and mutton, cured or fresh, tie

the leading markets east and west. is nearly
equal to so per cent. The New York World

as much as $500 per car load was lost on
