Ia 1850 there were over seven millions
pounds produced in New England, and
in 1860 six and half millions, showing
decrease of half million OF pounds.
Vermont has raised nearly half the
wool produced in the New England
States, but from 1850 to 1860 the amount
OF wool produced in our State decreased
more than $4,000 pounds. Maine stands
next to Vermont, as a wool growing
State, and her increase OF production in
the same period was over d hundred thou
sand pounds. New Hampshire, stands
third. In the ten years the wool produce
was slightly increased but in MassaChu-
sets, Connecticut and Rhode Island, as
well as Vermont, the production was
decreased. Since 1850 there has been q
falling off in the amount OF wool pro-
duced in the Middle States. New York
produces about twO.thirds OF all the
wool grown in the Middle States, and
the production decreased in that State
in ten years over half million pounds,
while Pennsylvania increased over
quarter OF million pounds. In tbs
same period the Western States made an
increase OF nearly four millions poun ds,
and Ohio, which is the greatest wool
growing State Of that section, increase d
her production about q half million
pounds. The production in the South
ern States increased in one decade over
million pounds, and will now con-
stsut!y continue as emigration from the
North shall increase.
The increase of the production OF this
staple in the Pacific States is enormous
from seVenty-seven thousand pounds in
1850 they increase to 1860 to about three
and half million. California bids fair
to be one Of the largest wool producing
States in the country. They have nearly
three million head of sheep in that State,
and the quality of the wool is annually
improving through midness of the eli
mate and richness of pasture. Caifor-
MIA will be enabled to show at the next
census wool product nearly equal to
that OF the whole United States at the
present time.
The following table shows the amount
of wool grown in the different sections
OF the United States, according to geo.
graphical classification of States as com
pared with the population

The statement has been made that the
Judiciary Committee would submit the
testimony taken by them on the ques'
tion of impeachment to the House, on
the reassembling Of Congress, without
any formal report. This is doubtless an
error, as it is known that report Is in
course OF preparation. A minority re-
port will most probably be made at the
same time as one of the members Of the
judiciary Committee a few days ago
wrote for copies of certain documents
which he said were needed to enable him
to complete his report on impeachment.
The number of additional bounty
claims under the act OF July %, 1866,

145, 900 have been forwarded to the Sec
ond Auditor for settlement. OF these
$1,000 have been made up and paid,
leaving $4,000 in process OF settlement.

was, in 1861, appointed Consul to the
City of Mexico by President Lincoln,
and has remained at his post ever
since, with bat one or two brief absences.
He is quite young man, has made
good Consul, and the fact that he was
already in Mexico, and likely to stay
there, has doubtless been one of the
controlling reasons for his appointment.

The Wool Product of the United
States.

But few of our people, although emil
nently ool-produclug State, have
just conception of the amount of wool
produced in the United States, and a few
statistics upon this subject may not be
uninteresting to those especially engaged
in its growing-as showing it's steady
Increase and its Importance in the mate
rial productions OF the country. The
following is table Of the productions
of wool for three decades, 1910, 1850 and
1860, to which may be added at the least
estimate one.third more as the relative
increase since 1860.
1910 1892 ia lbs.
1850 52,516, $50 lbs.
1860 60,364 9l3 lbs.
This table shows the increase from
1910 to 1850 about l6,750,OO0 pounds,
and from 1850 to 1860, 7750OO0.
The amount of wool produced in New
England in 1860 was as follows

them from anything dishonorable in

mlttee on public expenditures, and
made general denial of all the sllega.
tiens against him. la spite Of this, the
House passed resolution calling upon
the President 70 remove him. AS the
Senate exonerates the members of the
Presidents family, there is nothing to
hinder them from so doing. The fact
that the committee on public expendi-
lures favored censure Of smythe IA.

cant. They did not care to send it to

EoSyPKLIBR, March 2S, 1867.
The bills granting the privileges ask
cd for Of bonding the Bennington 4
potlapd Railroad, also allowing the
towns along the line OF that route and
the lire Of the St. Jotnsbury and Mont.
pelisr and Essex County Railroad to
issue bonds TO aid the completion Of said
Youtes, were passed by the House before
the close of the daily session on Wednes-
day. They came in 70 the senste on
THURSDAY morning, and were immedi-
ately referred to the judiciary commit
Zee. The bill TO incorporate the Rutland
Railroad Company was passed by the
House las. evening, but this morning
Senator Taft introduced bill to repeal
the bill creating this new corporation,
which WAS sent at once TO the commit
zee, and on the adjournment Of the Sen
ate the committee on roads went into
session for its consideration. Able ar
guments were presented against the bill
by Hon. Levi Underwood on the part OF
the second mortgage bondholders, while
u. j. Phelps appeared for the first mort
gage bondholders, and Hon. Andrew
Tracy, in behalf OF the original corpo-
ration. Each OF these gentlemen pre-
sented statement of the present situa-
ton OF these several mortgages, and
that the bill was intended to facilitate
the negotiations pending between the
various parties in interest.
The committee reported unanimously
against the repeal of the Rutland rail-
road bill. We think that the question
was fairly stated, and that not only the
interest OF the parties but of the public,
demand this new corporation should be
created that these mortgages should be
consolidated in one company, that the
legal controversies growing out of this
question between the parties in interest
may be at an end. II the Legislature
has not passed any more dangerous
measure than this, the State may con-
slider itsel PECULIARLY fortunate. The
bill was again discussed by Senator
Martin against the passage and Senator
Tar in favor. The Senate, however,
very properly refused to repeal the act
creating the new company by vote OF
yeas, Q; nays, 20.
Mr.. Root introduced bill to incor-
porate the Bennington Gas Light Com
pany which was passed under a suspen-
sion Of the rules. The resolution cut
ting or the introduction of bills which
was adopted at the close of Wednesdays
session was reconsidered and bills were
again presented without opposition.
The question of the expediency OF again
opening the gates for bills to be present
Cd was somewhat discussed, but the
motion was prevented by yea and nay
vote Of q TOT. All the railroad meas
ares have been passed. The appropria'
ton for the expenses of the session is
ten thousand dollars. There is some
helipg over bill to levy a tax to re-
build the jail at Woodstock, the friends
Of proposed new Union County max
ing opposition to this measure, being
unwilling to be taxed for that purpose.

So'clock to morrow morning, although
the business will be completed at an
aaSay hour this evening.
