FROM WASHINGTON.
Impeachmcnt mattors,


New YORK, Oct. 1S.-The Herald's WASH
inston special says: Republicans from the
West now i'll Washington are reported to
have said that the impeachment of the
President at present would cause a revOlu-
zion of sentiment in that section of the
country which would prove fatal to the
Radical party.
The Worlds special says the Presidents
views concerning the impeachment pro-
position have undergone no change. He
looks upon it as party movement and is
Indifferent to it; but if there is an attem pit
made to suspend him from Office he will re-
sist it with all the power he can command.
1he War Department.. l-
An occupant for the War office has not
yet been determined upon, though there is
good ground for saying that he will be
civilian who may have been heretofore in
the military service.
Southern Railroads
The committee to Investigate the affairs
of the Southern railroads, has reached
Richmond. The sum these railroads owe
the Government is between six and seven
hundred millions of dollars.
The Georgia military District.
The Tribune special says: Strong pres
sure is being brought to bear for the re-
moval of the General commanding the Dis
trict OF Georgia, and Governor Jenkins is
in Washington urging it.
The President in favor of Specie Pay
mentS. =.
The President favors an early resump-
tiOn of specie payments and a steady con-
traction of the currency to that end. A
considerable portion of his annual message
will be devoted to the important question
of finance.
The Counterfeit Taos.
WASHINGTON, October 1S.-Col. Wood,
Chief of the Secret Service Division of the
Treasury Department, has had all his de-
tectives al work discovering the counter
felt 7-30 notes. 1t has been definitely as
certained that over $i,0O000O have been
put in market and that the plates were not
made in Europe but in this country.
1t is further stated that Philadelphia has
been the headquarters for the printing
the clue to the whole proceeding is said co
be in possession of secret service officers.
According to representations, one of the
cOunterfeiters had been so successful with
his 7-30s that he forgot his discretion and
commenced putting into circulation coun-
terfeit SO and $50 bank notes.
Upon the latter charge he was captured,
when he proved to be one of the very men
of whom Col. Wood was in pursuit He
was identified as having passed a number
of 30s on Brooklyn banker. His name
i, Cooper.

ALL RIGHT AGAIN.-Right pleased we
are to greet the appearance of the Madison
County Democrat again. Dressed from top
to toe in new and handsome suit, it looks
as handsome as a new bride, hat won on
election, ten dollar gold piece, or any
thing else most lovely. Tobe Bryan, its
active and live editor, has been untiring in
his efforts to get things to rights again af-
ter the fire, and, thanks to the great
hearted people of Madison county, he has
succeeded. He is making first-class
country paper out of the Democrat, and we
are glad to see that his labors are appreci-
ated by his neighbors, without regard to
purity. Go ahead Tobe. May your sub
scription list reach 100000, and your county
always be Democratic.

VINEGAR FROM APPLE PoMACE.-A cor
respondent of the New York Farm ers'
Club says: Do not allow your sweet apple
pomace to go to waste after the sweet cider
is expressed, bat put them in some water
tight box; allow them to remain until they
are well heated; then return them to the
press, and add, say, to the production OF
thirty bushels of apples, six or eight gall
Ions of water, and you can press from one
and half to two barrels of vinegar from
the same, and good article at that. Vim
egar made in this way will sour much
sooner than otherwise.
