Failure of the Impeachment Scheme.
The well-infor;ned correspondent of a
New York journal, writing from Washing
tou, says:
The impeachment scheme has been aban-
doned for the present session. The radical
leaders have become convinced that the SEN
ate cannot be brought up to the point in
time to have action on the proposition at
present They have, therefore, taken an
other tack. The change of policy was the
work of the select committe appointed at
the caucus just before the meeting of con-
gress, to decide upon what party legislation
should be pursued during the session. That
committee made partial report at the eau
Gus which overhauied Raymond. To use
their own words, 'they found the senate too
weak -kueed, OR too much olu fogyism in
that body to make it polite for them to press
the impeachment at this time" This being
the case they adopted another line of policy,
which is, to set as many investigating COM
mittees at work as possible in hopes of obtain
ing sufficient data against the president and
the south that would enable them to obtain
pressure of public opinion that would
force the senate into cooperation with
the extreme men Of the house. They boast

the close of this session. The proposition
for the fortieth congress to assemble on the
4th of March, is pressed by the radical
leaders, under the BELIEF that they will have
made sufficient progress in this direction
that impeachment can be taken up the first
thing after the organization of that congress.
In the meantime they propose to tie the
presidents hands as far as possible in refer
ence to the natro,,are wine ont the south
ern states governments, and declare all that
he has done in the way of restoration was
null and void Having accomplished this
much during this session, they propose to
commence impeachment as soon as the next
congress assemblies, and spend the summer
on that business.
over proposed law, providing for the sus-
pension from Office of all officials under trial

in the minds of some of the more prominent
among them whether they can pass law

RACK Rock NrsEs-The Virginia TrespGss, Of
gard to these mines
Yesterday we published intelligence from the
Rlaek Rock mines, upon the authority OF Charies
Isenbcch, who has just returned from that country.
where he has been superintending the working of
various from the mines thereabouts. al Evans
& Co.'S mill This morning we received call
from l.. Bass. who is a partner OF Evans IN the
Black Rock mill, who makes statement directly
in eontrayention of what Isenbeck informed US, and
making direct issue of veracity between TIM two
gentlemen. We do not propose to take any stock
the fight but feel willing that both parties shall
have full benefit of all doubts arising as to the
wealth of the Black Rock country. Bass says:
81 am part proprietor of the Black Rock mill
engaged Charles isenbeck TO go there and superin-
tend the working of the Black Rock ore. at salary
of 81 coo per month, provided he could procure
paying returns from the ore ; paid HIM s9oo IN
advance and he went 10 the mill ; furnished him
everything he demanded that would insure success
in reducing the ore; he worked batween ten and
twelve tons Instead OF the quicksilver gaining l22
pounds Of amagam, stated by Isenbeck yester
day, it lost the usual amount IN working and all
the analgam found was about half pound. which,
upon examination and assay, proved to be nothing
bat copper with no trace OF gold silver therein
After this test by lsenbeck, | called upon him to
return the $500 ADVANCED upon contract, which he
promptly refunded to me, he not having been able
TO procure any precious metals from the ore By bis
process. Isenbeck is the third person who has
serted that he could get rich returns from the ore
each has failed and never yet have seen quarter
of dollar in silver gold actually produced from
wor king the Black Rock ores, and never any signs
of either, except in fire assays, one OF dozen OF
which have perhaps shown gold and silver in pay
ing quantities. | believe yet in the richness OF our
vast deposits of ore and hope for some method
whereby tie can be proftably worked but
rs yet none has been discovered. At this time His
key, of Dall's mill al Franktown, is engaged in
working y tons OF ore from the Snowstorm ledge,
and the returns thereof will make public. de-
sire only the truth to he told relative TO the district
untruth will only initiate against the best inter
ests osthe country in which / am as deeply inter
ested any one.
Bass statement differs most materially from that
made 10 US by Isenbeck, and we leave the matter
in issue between those gentlemen, only hoping that
the wealth of the country may be as enormous as
lsenbeck says it is, and as Bass hopes il Is.
