Wendell phillips,in in letter in the ti-SI;s-
very Standard, thus speaks:
The House Of Representatives is urged to
inpcach President johnson. We add our
voice to the demaad. There are abundant
reasons for the measure, and the need OF it is
sclleviicnt. # the present emergency does
lot demand recurrence Of this constitutional
method Of protection, !; Is impossible to con-
ceivc one which would.
But We hold impeachment Of little or no
value indeed useless, unless the House, when
i lays its articles Of impeachment before the
Senate, demands that Mr.. johnson be suspend
ID from the exercise Of his functions, and that
act as President until Mr. johnson is
acquitted, or, in any other result Of the trial,
until jhc next Presidential term commences. "
Phillips, also, urges The following:

iot the assembling Of the Fortcth Congress on

THE DANGERS OF PETROLEUM.

The disastrous petroleum fire of Friday
night last reviyes the question of its dam
gers andsthe way to avoid them. During
the early days of the petroleum excitement,
when lawmakers knew no more of its
properties and pecuiarities than did the
general public, law was passed forbldding
the storage of petroleum of less than s.
certain gravity, which met the danger much
as would law forbidding the handling of
gunpoWder whose grains were not of an
established cOarseness. The explosive
quality of petroleum. is benzole, which ex-
lists to a greater or less degree in all
GRANTEES of the crude oil, except in the
lubrieating oils. In some of the lighter
oils of Western Pennsylvania the proper
ton of benzole is nearly or quite twenty
five per cent. The first action In the re-
timing process is to remove this benzole,
which should then be thrown away, or,
at most, only used for fuel. The largest
and best-known refners never retain this
ingredient In their oils, justly considering
ittoo dangerous to be tempered with. There
are INSCRIPTIONS refiners, however, who
add this benzole to their refined oil to in
crease its bulk and their consequent profit,
and it is this oil, containing large proper
ton of benz0le, which explodes and brings
discredit upon the whole petroleum trade.
OlI properly refined VIII eXtlngulsh
burning brand as quickly as water, and
such oil only should be sold.
One simple law would regulate the ques-
ton of danger from oil explosions. Let
the law enact that policemen or other Off
GERS shall test all oil offered for sale, by
putting a lighted match to vessel con-
tanning it. If 1t extinguishes the match it
is safe; if it explodes let the oil be seized
and confscated as dangerous. The rapacity
Of INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers or dealers
should not be allowed to endanger the
lives and property of honest men.-N. 7.

sides twelve former stations which have be-
come selfsupporting. In 1868 the receipts
of both Boards fell short of $1,000. This

The crop during the past few years has

We find it selling here at 60 and cents

of seed cotton make one of ginned cotton.
Even at this price, with favorable seasons
and careful culture, it is profitable crop.
