Now, if President johnson, the Northern
democracy and the ruling politicians or the
excluded States could be brought to realize
the advantages offered them with coalition
on their part to favor these divisions in the
republican camp, they would not hesitate In
yielding little in order to gain great deal.
They would come over to the pending consti-
tutional amendment a. the Northern ultima
tum of Southern restoration. But as upon this
issue each Of the parties named appears to be
inHexibly opposed to recognition Of the all
powerful voice Of the North, and a. the rebel
States and the Northern democracy seem to
depend altogether upon Hercules to lift them
out ofthe mud, the prospect Is that the radical
camp will soon absorb the floating republi-
cans Of both houses, and that after the meeting
Of the new Congress in March the impeach-
ment will be vigorously pushed to the removal
Of Mr.. johnson from Office. There must be,
without further loss Of time, some very power
full diversion in his favor, in change Of front
and change Of base, or the Northern popular
current which has set in SO heavily against
him cannot be impeded or turned aside short
of his removal.
As to the sorrowful conclusions Of the British
aristocraic journals that this proposed i'm
parchment involves a despotic exercise Of
Congressional power fatal to individual rights
and the cause Of liberty, they are needless ap-
prehonsions and sheer nonsense. The impeach-
ment contemplated Is a constitutional proceed
ing, expressly provided in the organization of
the government to meet the contingency OF the
usurpation by the Executive of tho exclusive
powers of Congress and failure on his part,
from negligence or design, to "see the laws
faithfully executed" This remedy in Congress
may be traced back to the example Of the
British House OF Commons, resulting from the
great revolution, against King James IL,
of 1858. The only drawback to the i'm
mediate prosecution of this measure lies in
the fears Of the weakened republicans In
Congress as to its expediency; but by the 4th
of March these weak knees will be strength
ened by radical rubbing from their constitu-
ents We think 50, from the Northern outside
pressure which has already commenced and
because the great strength developed by Con-
gress in the Northern elections of last fall
resulted from the bold stand taken by Congress
against Mr.. Johnson and from bis alarming
attitude OF hostility TO the rightful authority of
Congress. In any event his impeachment
and removal, instead of producing another
civil war or a financial panic, will practically
be equivalent to his death or resignation, and
nothing more.

NEGRO SLAVERY ABOLISHED AT LAST IN MARY
LAND.-Itappears that the Maryland Legislature
has passed an act abolishing the article in the
State code permitting the sale Of negroes into
slavery as punishment for crime, and that
hereafter there viii be no distinction in the
State in the mode Of Furnishing white and
black criminals. This Is just measure In view
Of the true intent and meaning Of the consti-
tntionsl amendment abolishing slavery and
the emphatic requirements Of the Civil Rights
bill; but how has this repeal Of the Maryland
system lately adopted Of selling negroes into
slavery on conviction Of petty offences, .

The Tmpeachmcns Question In Conxress-Th
Ccnaics in the Republican Camp.

II the position Of President Johnson at this
crisis may be aptly compared with that of
King Charles L, Of England, on the evo
Of his surrender to the English Parliament by
that Of Scotland, or to the dangerous situation
OF Louis XVI. Of France, when intercepted in
his attempted flight from that distracted coun-
try, so will the parallel In each Of these re..ark-
able revolutionary cpochs apply at this juno,
ture TO the Congrsss Of The United States. This
body not only stands now In the relation of the
famous revolutionary Parliament Of England
or Of the French revolutionary Convention
towards the King, but in the clashing elements
Of the dominant party in tao Parliament, the
Convention and Congress, there are some strong
general features Of resemblance. A in the
Parliament, which finally disposed Of the I'M
fortunate Charles by bringing him to the block,
there were the conservative Presbyierians
Against the radical Independents, and as the
violent Jacobins Of the French Convention, in
tent upon their schemes Of slaughter, had Hrst
TO dispose Of the objections OF the more mode
rate Girondists before they could reach the King,
so now the dominant radicals Of Congress are
confronted by the so-called conservatives of the
republican party against President Johnsons
impeachment
How this conflict in the republican camp
stands at present we cannot exactly deter
mine. The Judiciary Committee Of the House,
engaged in the inquiry upon the charges against
Mr.. Johnson raised by Mr.. Ashley, is properly
very reticent as 70 its proceedings, and the
members generally Of both houses have be-
come somewhat cautious in the expression OF
their opinions in view Of their probable respon-
sibilisies a. members Of the grand jury or as
judges Of the high court in which they may
be called to act In this projected impeachment.
But still In the occasional outbreaks Of such
leading radicals as Sumner, Of the Senate, and
in the general drift Of the proceedings Of the
House having any relation to this question, we
think the strength and fixed purpose Of the
radicals may be detected, as well as the feeble
and failing resistance Of the conservatives
We think it s apparent that as 10 the illustra-
tive English Parliament and French Conyen-
ton TO which we have adycrtcd, the superior
force and pressure OF the radicals must pre-
vail This impeachment has become, too, this

The necessity of uniting the twin cities Of
New York and Brooklyn by bridge across
the East river has been prominently brought
before the public within the last few days by
the ice distractions which have rendered navi-
cation on the ferries difficult and dangerous.
Inasmuch as 1t is absolutely imperative upon
large portion of the people doing business in
New York to reside in Brooklyn, for want Of
accommodation and moderate rents on this
side Of the river, there should be some more
certain and convenient mode of communica-
ton than the ferries afford. There is now bill
before tho Senate 1t Albany providing for the
construction Of bridge across the East river,
and the Board Of Supervisors for Kings county
ct their last meeting endorsed it Various
points have been spoken Of from which TO open
the bridge on this side ; some spot on the
Brooklyn Heights, Of course, to be the termi-
nus on that side. Chatham square, for instance,
was mentioned as the highest available ground;
but We believe that plan has been suggested
to construct bridge from Wall street or that
vicinity, commencing the work high up, pro-
badly as far as Broadway, and running 1t clear
over the streets and the river to Brooklyn. It
is said that ridge Of rock lying in the middle
Of the river at that point will afford good
foundation for a central pier OF masonry or
iron and thus divide the span Of the bridge
into two parts.
Whatever plan may be adopted, however, 1t
is for the interest of both cities that bridge
should be built Immediately; and II the pro-
perry owners in Brooklyn do not bestir them
selves about it they may find the value of
houses decreasing considerably before long.
People have become SO disguised with the DIFF
6culties and disappointments in crossing on the
ferries this winter that hundreds Of families
will probably desert Brooklyn altogether be-
fore another ice-bound season comes about,
and seek residence in some Of the other
suburbs which are more easily approached, and
where rents arc not quite SO high as they have
been in that city for the past few years.

The action Of Congress on the Tariff bill Is
partial and one sided, all for the benefit Of the
manufacturers. The immense pressure brought
to bear upon Congress by the manufacturing
interests, assisted by q powerful lobby and
plenty Of money Is producing this effect. Mr..
SPrague, the rich cotton manufacturer Of
Rhode Island,.is the active representative Of
these interests in the Senate, and after The ex-
tra0rdinary efforts he made on Wednesday in
his own and their behalf, Mr.. Fessenden was
constrained to say that though he chad great
respect FOR the manufacturers Of the country
he would tell the Senate now that from the
testimony before the committee, from all he
and that committee knew, II would not do to
leave the formation of the tariff to the manu-
facturers.n This significant language shows
what the manufacturers are at. We fear that
will form a tariff that will be burdensome to
the people for the benefit Of small class Of
tho community. The immense fortunes which
the manufacturers have been and are making
are taken from the agricultural and other in
dustrial classes--from every one who wears or
uses piece OF cot'oh, ciom VI oMci ~A0u
material A tariff for revenue, with the Incl
dental protection it affords, Is all we need and
the only one we should have. The manufac-
turers have very adroitly taken advantage OF
the time when the people are absorbed with
weighty political matters and not SO likely to
watch their selfish schemes to concoct . tariff
to suit themselves Ii is to be hoped that Mr.
Fessenden and other enlightened statesmen
like himself in Congress will resist to the last
the schemes Of the manufacturers.

The advantage of the butter produce Is that nothing

have had butter dairy for several years, with the
exception of one year. when milk dairy was tried.

At the present time, June. 1867 there are fifteen
COWS and one bull. From thirteen milking COWS we
have obtained during June average of some 6S or
20 pounds of butter week. which Is average of
So pounds of butter per per week. The grass
which these cows have fed has been almost exclu-
sivey produced by phosphates, and the COWS are but
the ordinary country breed. ~.
In order to have fairer view of the improvements
resulting from the liberal use OF phosphates should
add that the value of the above stock should be
to the profits OF the year. The whole farm i'm
