WESTON ARRIVED AT HIS JOURNEY S
EYD.-Weston, the great pedestrian, has
reached Chicago. He walked ,276 miles
in less than twenty six walking days. Such
task would probably have killed the most
powerful horse: bet the man has thrived
under it. He has averaged fifty miles day
Tor Q stretch Of one month at a time, and
f9'the Pacific at The same rate Of travel.
He has done what no man has ever attempt
ed before, and deserves honor for the per
sisteEcy he has displayed in his undertaking.
AH account says Mr.. ingalls,, who accom-
panied W Weston, Is completely worn down
with excessive fatigue, although he has rid.
den the entire distance, and saws he would
not repeat the trip for $4,000 in gold,
Weston, however, seems never to be tired.
no matter how far he has walked, or how
bad the roads are, and what is still more
singular, never perspires.

The IMPEACHMENT QUESTION. The
Washington correspondent Of the Philadel-
phia Egepinq Bulletin SAYS.
Among politicians, yesterday, the time
vas principally occupied in general can
gass for ascertainlng the prospective vote on
Impeachment when that question comes up
for a GnaI verdict The excitement over il
has become calmed, giving many who bad
not done so an opportunity TO glance through
| the testimony. Attending Thanksgiving
/ sermons here among Congressman was
construed as meaning the reading of the i'm
Deacameut testimony, and 10 this respect
/ tbe day was well observed The effec; has
1 been marvellous, and there no longer re
mains a doubt that the subject will have to
/ be dropped. and that speedily, ifthe Repub-
/ .icau5 desire 10 maintain harmony 10 their
/ ranks, for within two days many who during
1 the year past openly advocated such a mea-
sure, now, with the evidence before them,
! hesitate not 10 say 1t IS devoid Of sufficient
! proof TO sustain the charges. They confess
/ that there are many very ugly facts in the
| evidence against the President but do not
| consider them impeachable. OF thirteen
/ Ohio members who have been the strongest
4 for impeachment, the canvass yesterday
/ showed all but four have changed, and il
| the New York delegation, but three are
counted sure for it. The Republican pres.
| throughout the country has counselec
against such a measure, and this has served
70 strengthen the anti-impeachment party
As things now stand, the heaviest vote
that can be polled for impeachment il fifty
seven, and an application Of party pressure
| cannot change this much Although i
seems probable that when the matter come.
up next Wednesday, very large amount ot
speech making will be done, yet it is equally
certain that the matter viii be laid upon the
table, and a vote Of censure OF the Presiden
and an expression Of want of confidence il
his constitutional advisers in the Cabinet
viii be passed by a strictly party vote, ant
thus end the impeachment agitation.

InPEAcHmENr RECoRD.

Our limited space preeludes Us from pub
fishing in full the Report of the Judiciary
Committee in favor Of the impeaehing An
drew johnson The following are the main
taots.-
The evidence upon which the majority Of
the Committee report in favor Of Impeach-
lneut aiscloses the following facts: An uncon-
stitutional usurpati0n of the power en- the
part Of the President to organize aud recOg-
nize the civi, State Governments; the denial
of the right of Congress TO control the work
Of organization. and the exercise OF power
and omission of duties in support of this
usurpation and denial; the wiltul and un-
constitutional assumption Of power 70 sus-
pend the operations of the acts Of Con-
gress, and the corrupt, wilful and unconsti
tutional refusal to execute the laws; the au-
rhorlzed and illegal surrender and sale Of
Government property, and the fraudulent
breach of the public trust, wherein the ac
tion of the President in relation to the
Southern railroads is detailed at length, and
much evidence Is given relative to the sale
aud surrender Of railroads aud rolling stock
and other property in which it Is shown
that all this property was turned over
against the advice of the Secretary of War,
and Quartermaster General Il is also
shown that the President extended the time
for the payment OF installments of principal
and interest en- the railroads purchased by
the rebel companies. The evidence further
shows that these railroad companies had a
sufficient amount Of money on deposit to
meet their Indebtedness. BY his connection
aith the Southern roads, it showed that he
realized a profit of over eighteen thousand
dollars
The other grounds Of Impeachment are
the corrupt and unconstitutional abuse OF
the veto power; the abuse of the pardoning
power; the surrender Of property to rebels;
the disregard of the rights Of the property
of refugees and freedmen, and of the United
States, and the unconstitutional and corrupt
exercise Of the appointing power Under
the latter head, a vast amount of testimony
has been taken relative to the suspension
aud appointing Of civil officers, and the
cause therefore, in direct violation of the
