Washington City Gossip.

Both Houses of Congress adjourned at
half past four clock, on Saturday after
noon, July 10th, to the 2lst of November
next There was sim attendance in each
house during the day, which fact, in the
lower branch, gave the friends of impeach
ment an opportunity to accomplish some
thing. After spicy debate between Messrs.
Wilson, Williams and Woodbridge, a
resolution was offered requiring the Judici-
ary Committee TO submit the testimony ta-
ken on impeachment forthwith to the House.
The vote was 81 to 10, and the absence of
the Democrats, together with a number of
Republicans, gave the impeachers decided
victory The result, however, surprised
every one, and created no little sensation
about the capitol Mr.. Wilson, chairman
of the Judiciary, Immediately summoned
the members of the Committee to their
room, where the evidence was gathered,
some of it being in large printed volumes
and other portions in huge piles of manu-
script. The Committee held brief meet
ing, and hurriedly brought the evidence in
the hall. 1t then wanted but short time
of the hour of final adjournment and SEEM
ingly by a concerted movement on the part
of those opposed to having the testimony
submitted, the floor was occupied until the
Speakers hammer fell announcing the close
of the session. The committee, therefore,
had no opportunity to comply with the or
der of the House, aud the evidence was
carried back by armsfull to the committee
room. This sharp practice was not discern
e9 in time, either by the committee or its
opponents, for no one seemed to doubt that
every moment would bring the presentation
of the important documents pro ,torDsG from
the Speakers table The members of the
committee had even commenced to give the
representatives of the press such portions OF
the evidence as had been printed, and there
were lively times among them as they rush
ed around calling in the copies they had
furnished. In some cases the copies were
reluctantly returned, but the committee feel
assured that none of the evidence has leak
ed out The result seems to be that no re-
port of the evidence will now be made until
the meeting of the House the last of next
November.
The President has pocketed the bill pro-
yiding for negro jurors in the District of
Columbia, and hence fails to become law
The appropriation bill to carry out the
Reconstruction act was also vetoed by the
President, but the bill was promptly pass
ed over the veto by both Houses without de-
bate.
On Saturday, July Goth, the President
sent in the nomination of Horace Greely, as
Minister to Austria. 1t was taken up, and
would have been confirmed, had not sin
gle objection made by Upton, of Nebraska,
carried itover under the rule until the next
day Of the session, which in this instance is
the 2lst of November next. Mr. Upton
said he would not consent to confirm any
man who would go bail for JEFF Davis No
other objections were made

The Contest for the Jndgashin.

The supporters of Judge Sharswood are
becoming exceedingly restive and uncom
Portable ut an early day in the canvass.
Placed, at the outset, on the defensive, by 4
decision of their candidate, which, had not
a maj ority of the court been composed Of
men with sounder heads and more loyal
hearts, would so far as its influence went,
have made our currency worthless and de-
stroyed all values, they have the sagacity 10
perceive that the people are turning instinct
lively and anxlously to Judge Williams.
That Judge Sharswood is an able and CON
scientious man does not help the matter
but for him makes it even worse. Seeing
that his doctrine, If put in practice, would
result IN disastrous consequences to every
valuable interest Of our State, his election
at this time is, on that account, thing all
the more to be deprecated. When great gifts
are employed in behalf of error, and when
error has the Endorsement Of men reputed
to be conscientious as well as able, the
friends Of the right have all the more reason
to be vlgllant. No one doubts that Long
street, jackson, and other rebel Generals
were conscientious as well as able leaders
Those very elements Of character added to
their strength and efficiency That they
were conscientious did not prove them to be
right or good Their cause was bad, and
had Judge Sharswood's doctrine prevailed,
that cause would have derived incalculable
advantage at moment when the fortunes
of the Republic were suspended in bal
ance, and when the voice and labors of
Judge Williams were employed night and
day, in its behalf
We might doubt the conscientiousness of
Judge who, whatever his convictions, un-
less he really wished to aid the rebel cause,
would, at such moment, utter single
word calculated to iniure the future of the
Republic. We only know that Judge
Sharswood, at the most critical moment of
the war, went out of his way to argue from
the bench against the federal currency. He
might have contented himself with simply
dissenting from the majority, but he chose,
being in the minority, like Vallandigham
and the pestilent tribe of which he is lead
er, to argue for false doctrine, as if no 9TH
er reason in the world than for sympathy
with the rebellion. Intact Sharswood seems
to have been the Vallandigham of the
Bench, and to-day he is no more worthy of
the support of the loyal people of Pennsyl-
vania for judicial than Vallandigham is
for political position. Commercial

Copperhead Tactics.

The Copperhead newspapers of the State
do not admire Judge Williams, the Repub-
lican candidate for the Supreme Bench.
This was to be expected, for Judge Williams
stood firmly by the country during the war,
and made decisions upon test questions
which were free from the hair splitting ten
derness for rebels and traitors that distin-
guished the course of some of the Democrat
ic Judges who were upon the bench during
the great struggle, and who were always
ready and anxious TO help treason. One OF
our country contemporaries, in speaking OF
Jude W, INDUCES in the following out
burst He is simply higgling, calculating,
close fsted. fanatical, curly headed, sour
faced adventurer from Yankee land, &c,
DC These peculiarities OF hair and counte-
nance should of course settle the question,
and no lover of his country should be eX-
pected to vote for Judge who is "calcu
lating" man OF who has curly hair.
The manner in which the democratic or
gans are opening the campaign contrasts
strongly with the course of the republican
newspapers. not one of which, so far as we
have seen, has made an unkind or disre-
spectful reference to Judge Sharswood
the Democratic candidate for the Supreme
Court. Judge Sharswood may well exclaim
Save me from my friends - for this system
of tactics does him vastly more harm than
it can possibly infict upon Judge Williams.

The aAFTsmAnss JOURNAL,
Free Railroads.

There is no mistaking the temper of the
people on the subject of free railroads, or
the right Of any set Of capitalists Uh0 hare
the n0ney and are Financially responsible to
tutld railroad, wherever they may deem
such a road necessary and where the people
want railroad facilities We say there is no
mlstaking the temper of the people on this
subject, because there has not been a candi-
date for the legislature thus far nominated
for election IN October next, aCith0Ht a sol
enlIa pledge giren that he ociU faithfully and
ARRAYS tc0rk for tie passage Of q free rail
road tdoC. The people were never more in
earnest on any subject than they are on the
subject of free railroads They want fair
competition in trade ar home They are de-
termined to guard against the establishment
OF monopoly in any shape. They are con-
vinced of the bad policy OF allowing any cor
poratlon to control the resources of the
State. Hence it Is that the utmost care is
taken to exact well understood pledges on
this subject from all candidates for the Leg
islature. We confess we like the disposition
OF the people in this particular. 1t is a heal
thy sign of the times when the people thus
eyince an interest in the details Of legisla-
tion and jealous as to the opinions and pur-
poses of those who aspire to represent them.
1t is the business Of the people to dictate to
their servants, and not the right OF the ser
wants to dictate to the people. Not only on
the subject OF free railroads, but on all 9th
er subjects of legislation, the people should
have well defined policy, and that policy
should be clearly set before the men who as
pire to represent them. Telegraph.

More Testimony.

Last week we published an extract from
a Supreme Court decision highly comph-
mentary to the judicial ability of Hon.
Henry ". Williams, the Republican candi-
date for Supreme Judge. We now clip,
from the Commercial the following equally
complimentary testimony, which is an ex-
tract from the Legal Journal, of August
lst, 1857, in which issue the editor of the
Journal commenced the publication of what
he styled THE able opinions delivered by
. the Judges of District Courts, in the
confidence that they would prove fully as
< acceptable to the profession as decisions
g of the Supreme Bench, and that they viii
g afford additional assurance of the high
Judicial capacity of the eminent gentlemen
"who compose the Court After gen
erous recognition of the ability of Judge
Hampton, the editor says:
Judge Williams is distinguished for
cool, calm, unwearying earnestness, "a stern
determination to see that right and justice
are DONE a clear, well balanced judgment
In determining between conflicting reasons,
and great energy In enforcing his views of
the law upon the jury. Both manifest the
most untiring devotion to the arduous duties
of their position, and an eminent courtesy
and conciliatory demeanor towards the bar,
and at the same time strictly maintain the
dignity of the Court Allegheny county
has reason to be proud of such Judges, and
it Is certain that no county in this State, if
in any other State. can present Judiciary
better qualified by character, learning, abil-
ity, and integrity for a faithful and capable
discharge OF Its responsible and honorable
functions.
Now, to give full weight to the above tes-
timony in behalf of the ability of Jadge
Williams as iurist, it must be remember
ed that the editor of the Legal Journal,
John II. Bailey, Esq, of the Pittsburg
Bar, gentleman of fine legal attainn ents,
a0aS then and as nO,o prominent Democrat
In view of such high Democratic testi-
mony as the above, and that of Judge
Woodward in quoting Judge Williams as
high judicial authority, it Ill becomes such
men as the editor of the Clearfeld Repub-
Ecan. and his ilk, to assert that Judge VIII
liams " has no reputation for legal
knowledge, " but that he is simply hig-
. Cling, close listed, fanatical, curly headed,
sour-faced adventurer, whose mind is
. largely developed with reference to negro
equality, womans rights, and spirit
"rappings."
Reader which will you believe? The
unbiased testimony of Judge Woodward and
John IL. Bailey, Esq, as to the qualifca-
tions and ability of Judge Williams, or the
slanderous, bare faced assertions of the
Clearfield Republican and its likes?

Republication the Policy of Democracy.


1t is clear now that the Democratic party
intends squarely and fairly to take ground
in favor of Reputation. We had almost
despalred OF getting an expression on the
subject from the leaders Of the opposition,
but it now seems that we are to be agreeably
disappointed ami that the Democratic party,
through the President, Andrew johnson, is
to be, in fact has been, put on the record in
favor of repudiating the national debt.
With decency which has not characterized
Mr.. Johnson's 5 other acts in favor of his
rebel upholders and applauders, he does not
declare that the national debt shall not be
paid. Mr.. johnson is fully aware such
declaration would elicit an indignant oppo-
sition he never could withstand He is sat
isied the loyal masses are honest, and that
to pay every dollar of the national debt
every dwelling house and perch of land have
been pledged Hence direct reputation is
not recommended. What is urged is, that
as the Government of the United States has
annulled the rebel State governments, as
Congress with thea aid OF the army and navy,
has destroyed the rebellion, put an end to
the confederacy, therefore Congress as b0uad
to pay the rebeLdebt. Mr.. johnson evident
ly desires it to be understood that, if the
contederacy had been a success, the debts of
the rebel States would have been paid. Con-
gress prevented that success from bein
realized. Congress destroyed the rebel
States. Congress, with the army and navy,
crushed rebellion. Hence INSISTS Andrew
Johnson) Congress must assume, and the
loyal men Of the country liqutdate tie rebel
debt. This is Andrew Johnson's mode of
getting at the reputation of our national
debt. If he can compel the country to as
sumo the rebel debt, that load added to our
already great burden, will of course crush
the nation, and escape from reputation will
be thus rendered impossible. Judge Shars-
wood declared that our debt was Illegal
that our currency was not legal Andrew
johnson insists that the rebel debt IS legal
that Congress must assume its liquidation
Both Sharswood and johnson are endorsed
by the Democratic party In view of this
fact, what honest man can support the
Democratic party, or any of its nominees

In 1854 Judge Sharswood promulgated
the judicial opinion that ''Greenbacks' are
unconstitutional and not a legal tender in
the payment of debts-but he was then over
ruled by his colleagues on the bench Judg-
es never ''go back on their opinions orce
expressed-and he will so decide again if
he ever gets the power. The case of Shars-
wood vs.. Greenbacks is row on trial before
the whole people of the State-and Shars-
wood will be again over ruled by very large
vote.
