AS soon as the Impeachment resolution
was deposed Of on Saturday, the House
proceeded to act on the bill reported by
the Committee On Ways and Means to
prevent the further contraction Of the
currency. This caused more excitement
among members than the impeachment
question, and very great disposition to
filibuster by ContractipIii,ts. 1t one
time great confusion existed and it re-
quired the utmost effort cfSpeaker Colfax
tc obtain order in the House. After 4
half hours brief strH-s!" between the
contendin@ parties, the yeas and nays
were called on the passage of the bill,
and the result was that the bill passed by
vote Of l2S yeas and 81 nays.

Doubtless it would be convenience
to American citizens who are engaged in
commerce, if our Government owned
as mary colonies and naval depots as
Great Britain. Mr.. Seward is infatuated
with the idea of accommodating these gen
tlcinen, no matter what stress he may
put upon the Treasury in consequence
of his spcculations. 1t is to be hoped
there is sense enough in Congress to put
an extinguishrr on a line Of enterprise
which has 20 limit, and in which every
indulgence furnishes al argument for go

IMPEACHMENT DEAD.-Last Wednes
day the question of impeaching the Pres
ident came before the House, when Mr..
Boutwell,, of Massachusetts, proceeded
to speak in favor of the measure. He
spoke very ably for about an hour to
an attentive House, on the law of I'M
peachment, when he gave way to a mo-
tion to adjourn. lie concluded bis speech
the next day, Thurs lay, when Alr. VIII
son, Chairman of the Committee OH i'm
parchment proceeded TO address the
House in reply to Mr. Boutwell,, against
the measure. At the conclusion of his
speech, lie moved to lay the whole sub
ject on the table. This produced great
excitement and commotion in the House
and after considerable flIibustering, the
House adjourned without taking vote
TO lay on the table. On Friday after a
short wrangle on the subject, Nr. VIII
son withdrew his motion to lay on the
table, in order that direct vote might
be taken Oh the resolution in favor Of i'm
parchment reported by majority Of the
Committee. This was what the latter
wanted in order that there might be no
lodging. There was pretty full House
on Saturday morning, when the vote
was taken, and TIE result was yeas, 81,
nays, los so that the resolution WAS lost.
| No manifestation of applause took place
on the announcement. So the matter
of Impeachment, we suppose is finally
and definitely disposed Of.

THE RIVER was falling rapidly last
night. with about seventeen feet water
in the channel.
The steamer Eagle, which was ground
ed near the Washington rolling mills
when the breakup in the river occnr-
red. was in an awkward position last
night. She lay on the bank of the riv-
er. almost out of the water, and, as the
ice which had gorged under her was
rapidly melting, it was feared she would
topple over before props could be placed
under her. The chimneys had fallen
off, and fears were entertained that hei
cabin and machinery would slide and

The AurieuIrurnl College.

We understand that proposition has
been, or is about to be, made to the
Legislature by the trustees of Bethany
College, which, in our opi1ion, should
settle at once the vexed question Of the
location of the Agricultural College in
this State. Bethany College is the only
institution of learning in West Virginia
which claims or is entitled to the name
of a college, and we believe it Is the
Oldest, as it is certainly the best OF our
schools. The trustees now propose to
educate in thorough, scientific or class
ical course, or both if it be so desired,
two students from each county in the
State in consideration of receiving from
the State authorities three-fifths of the
proceeds of the Congressional grant.
If An experimental farm be needed, we
are informed that land in the vicinity
of Bethany will be donated to the State
for that use, and the remaining two
ffths of the proceeds of the grant will
be amply sufficient to pay for the stock
ing and management of the farm. The
two students from each county thus ed
ncated at State expense, may be re-
quired to teach during certain num-
ber of years, in return for the bounty
they have enjoyed.
Ii seems to us that this proposition
contains more substantial and imme-
date advantages than any other which
has yet been presented to the Legisla-
ture, or of which we have yet heard.
Bethany College has already established
a reputation second to but few institu-
tons of learning in the United States.
1t is already upon firm basis-a de-
cided success. Should the proposition
of which we have spoken be
accepted by the Legislature, all
oi the necessary arrangements
for carrying it into effect
may be made Immediately, and the stu
dents provided for may enter upon
their collegiate course at the commence
ment of the next term, without the ex-
penditure of a single dollar of State
funds beyond that derived from the Con-
gressional grant.
For Immediate and practical benefit,
We consider this proposition on behalf
of Bethany College, by far the best that
has yet been presented. We believe
that the Legislature would well serve
the interests of the people of the entire
state by accepting it at once.
The Wheeling daily register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1864-1878, 1867-02-07

the Confederate debt would be recog-
nized and added to the public burden.
1t is affirmed that very many thousands
of persons are influenced by these repre-
sentations, and the fears they excite.
If any explicit affirmation would quiet
them, and restore general conhdenc
and peace, it would be wise to
make It. 1t would cost us nothing. 1t
would involve no surrender OF any
purpose of ours. 1t would impose dis
