From the Philadelphia Ledgerl
This proceeding, even though it should fail 10
receive the endorsement of the House, can haIa-
" fail 10 disturb the business interests OF the
country. They are now so seriously unsettled
and embarrassed that even adverse TITLES aggrs-
vate their condition; but this steP,on so exciung
a subject is by no means a tribe. And all 10
what end The belief is general that the sense
of considerable majority of the House, al
though much incensed against the president, IS
AGAINST iupeachment. But the immediate ell
fort will be TO precipitate Congress into pas
sionate partisan debate, when the minds OF all
of the members should be devoted 10 cool and
dispassiouate consideration Of the great needs
of the industrial and business interests of the
whole country At this time when so many
factories are closed and closing; when so many
people are out of employment; when so many oil
those who are employed are either working on
short time or are threatened with reduced wa
ges; when the currency, the debt and the reVe-
,Nf ~
many men who are in business, and who In or
binary times would regard themselves as pros
porous and safe, are apprehensiye that some ad-
verse political blast may crumbe their sub
stance and their business into ashes. AZ such
time these interests should have the earnest and
important attention Of Congress 10 the exclusion
of everything calculated to embarrass their &C.
ton by arousing partisan passion.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-The White House
was alive to-day with visitors, among whom
were many members of Congress. Senator
Dooittle and Representatives Eldrldge, Robin
son, and others, had interviews with the Presi-
dent, as had also Montgomery Blair.
The impeachment cabal ale tonight tacturn
on the subjedt of their rash enterprise. The
comments of the Northern press fall upon them
like a wet blanket. 1t is whispered that the
Republicans will drsavcw the paternity OF the
majority report, OF VIII give IL 'HC SO-OJ huSH
nitely. The prime movers have incurred the
deep disgust Of the spectators in gold, who hnd
themselves forced TO sell at discount.
The overthrow of the national banking system
will not be accomplished without a vigorous
struggle. The fnanciers most Immediately IN
terested will net suffer tins fayorte and profit
able institution TO be demolished BY any default
on their part Whether the vote of the House
on the resolution offered by Mr.. Ross, TO sub
stitute greenbacks for national bank currency,
was intended merely as feeler, or whether 1t
truly indicated new financial policy, the effect
is being strong force against the measure. All
shades Of political opinions are represented here
in the bank interest; and the interested parties
are so equally apport:oned among the Radicals,
Conservatives and Democrats, that the oPposi-
ton fails 10 have partisan Specification.
The moried men are already showing bold
front, and threaten to strew with thorns the
path Of the one who attacks them in the most
tender part-the pocket. They all have inhu-
ence at the Capitol, and will exertit. They de-
nounce as hasly and immature any Legislation
that shall materially disturb the present bank
ing system, although conceding the necessity
of some modification therein.

assassins grave, and be states that at the proper
time he supposed the remains would be given TO
his friends.
