81 TIVE IMPEACHMENT THE Northern papers
ofal1 political com plexions, arc beginning to talk
moresseriously than ever, of the proposed i'm
peach nent OF the President, and of the settled
purpoSe,of thc Radical leaders to convict him
and remove him from Office and that, too, by
aGongress,. in which several OF the States have
no representatives in either House. 1t is
thought by many, now, who have heretofore
doubted as to the reahtg.c the threatened de
sign, that the determination is made, and that
tie public pulse is, or will be, 10 a month or
Two, ''at fever heat, and the ''patient pre-
pared for the experiment The opinion now
is; or seems to be, that the impeachment will
beort!ered by the next House Of Representa-
tiYes, which meets on the 4th of March, imme
diately upon the close Of the present session Of
to- believe that this scheme will be persisted
in. But, there can be no calculation made, as
to the influence that reason, and justice, and
policy, will have, or rather ought to have,
upon the minds OF the legislative rulers, in
shaping their future course Literally, it
seems, that: madness, rules the hour. Hor 4

pose which might otherwise be practically ef-

may be put in jeopardy, and all its interests,

The, newspapers are properly coming down.
upon the various Gift Enterprises, as they
are styled, started in different portions Of the
country, being, in effect, lotteries not licensed
by law, and far more objectional than any Of
the regularly authorized lotteries Of former
days. Many Of these "Gilt Enterprises are
mere Swinlling schemes, and all Of them de-
signed to put money in the pockets Of those
concerned in carrying them on. The late
Crosby affair in Chicago, has not helrcd the
matter, in tic least, in relation to The policy Of

\ LARGE CLAIM--A private land claim, in

\ LARGE CLAIM-A private land claim, in
volving halfa million, and possessing rather an
interesting history, was passed by the Senate
yesterday. In the early days Of Louisiana,
when owned by the French government, the
king granted to one of his favorilcs, Jean An,
tome Bernard d Antorire, a patent for tract
Of land Of the magnificent extent Of 455, 070
acres When, in 1915, The United States ac-
qurel Louisiana by purchase, the validity of
d Antorirc' and similar claims was recognized
The lands covered by his patent were appro-
priated to the use Of the government and claim
FROM his heirs for indemnity has been before
Congress for many years, but although its JUS
Lice has been recognized, and bill giving relief
has been several times passed by one or the
other branch it has never been acted on by both
houses Of the same Congress.
John e. Bouligny, of louisiana L former
member of Congress was one of the heirs
Mr.. Bouligny remained in Washington after
the breaking out Of the war until 1864 when
he died The bill which was passed gives 10
lis widow and two children, Corinuc and Re
lix, one-sixth part of the claim, amounting TO
Is, $40 acres, with the privilege to locate the
same upon any Of the public lands subject to
private entry. Upon the passage OF the bill
by the House claim will be disposed of that
has been before Congress for twenty-five or
thirty years --Buh. San

TIE TURKISH EMPIRE The intelligence
received by telegram shows that affairs In the
East are gradually tending toward conclusion.
The Canadians claim another decisive victory,
and the Turkish troops have been compelled to
evacuatc The only forts which for years they
have held in the principality Of Sesvia. The
Sick Man" is rapidly sinking. Disinteeration
is going on at rate which is perhaps sutficen-
thy rapid, and if the neighboring Powers will
but stand aloof and content themselves with
being mere onlookers, the time is not, perhaps,
so very far distant when Turkey in Europe

On the European side of the Bosphorns the
ltussulmans are but one to four OF the Christ
!ans. 1t is manifest, therefore, that it requires
but spirit and determination on thu part Of the
Christian populations to throw off the hated
yoke. The spirit seems at last to have been
aroused. Roumania acknowledges but the
shadow Of an allegiance, and abhors even that.
Thessay is arming her population and refusing
to be paciiied. Montenegro il equally defiant

The Senate has yet to act upon the bill, but it

The Revenue Act.

We publish to-day, to the exclusion of
much other matter, the Revenue Act passed
by the Legislature, and ratified on the
25th INST. We could not publish anything
which can be of more general interest to
our readers. Few, if any of them, but
what have direct interest in taxes-fich
and poor alike are concerned.
It will be seen that the present act is
founded upon the ad rnlOrem system, as
much as possible, and is pretty much the
bill prepared by the very efficient Public
Treasurer, Mr. Kemp P Battle, at the be-
ginning of the session, the alterations be-
ing few and generally unimportant. The
fact that upon most subjects the taxes are
lower than they we're last year, will prob
ably not be unpleasant to our readers.
