a Philadelphia friend, under date of
February l6, and says:
''The complication in political

There is gold enough being buried ut
the South to make itrichi if converted
into greenbaclls and then applied to
agricultural purposes. Nearly every
one who can sell land, cotton, or
realize money III any way, turns it
into gold. and then sec'n.eIy hic1es or
du5'ies it,
We cannot swear that this is a fic-
ton OF a merchant OF large and cx-
tended operations. but such is our
firm impression. He has probably
gone largely and extensively into the
realm of imagination. Planters and
others who have gold to bury are
rather few and far between. If we
are deluded upon this point, and the
count against our people is true, no
more lnjudicious language could have
been invented and published in refer
ence to the South.

CONGRESSIONAL RELIEF. The fol-
lowing preamble and resolution were,
on motion OF Senator Stewart, OF
Nebraska, adopted by the United
States Senate, on the 81 instant:
Whereas it & reported from various
sources deemed authentic that ex-
treme want and danger of starvation
exist extensively in several of the
Southern States:
Resoleeo, That Major O..
.. Howard, Commissioner of the
freedmen's Bureau, be requested to
report, with the least practicable de-
lay, what information he has from
official sources with regard to the
said extreme want, and what NAV be
his estimate of the amount of funds
necessary to purchase food to meet it,
if it should be found to exist.
The NmiO,uN Republican saws:
The spirit with which the FOREGOING
preamble and resolution was received
and passed by the Senate was in the
highest degree gratifying and signifi-
cant. There was neither difference
of opinion nor delay in the propriety
OF the inquiry; andif Gen. Howard's S
facts are III accordance with the in
formation received from other quar-
ters, we have little doubt tnat the
tortleth Congress will heartily and
generously relieve the suffering peo-
pie OF the late insurgent States.

Absurd Ideas ef the lmpcachsusnt Movement.
The European papers seom to be altogether
in the dark upon the question Of President
Johnson's impeachment The London Tines
in particular affects to be grievously distressed
lest the impeachment SHOULD dcmolish the con-
stitution and government OF the United States.
Some newspapers at home, who ought to t,ke
a more intelligent view Of the subject, talk
pretty much in the same absurd way. Now,
the fact Of the matter is that there will be very
little trouble about ii, and it will not turn the
country from the even tenor Of its way. The
President, we may assume, will be impeaehed
and removed General Grant and Admiral
Tarragut will probably be elected after short
lapse Of time to the Offices of President and
Vice President, Mr.. johnson will soon be for
gotten, and the affairs Of the country will 20
on in their accustomed channels, prospecting
and to prosper
The English press foresaw in the late rebel
lion the downfall Of our government and insti.
tutions, because, perhaps, the wish was father
TO the thought; and they were greatly aston
istcd to and that we put down the rebellion
and preserved the government But they will
DO more astonished at the result OF this i'm
parchment business; fer II will not in the least
affect or imperil our institutions. It's curious
and entirely novel episode Ia our history, II is
true, though not without precedent in France
and England; but II will come, 90 and be for.

win be established ]. he'd n the government. They
arc under momentum which cannot be
resis ed. All impedimenis which block the
way will be removed. 1t is the law of all
revolutions. This is only history repeating
itself. SO II is that no preordained event in
human affairs is more certain to come to pass
than the impeachment and removal Of Presi-
dent johnson from Office. This thing will be
done because II has become o necessity to the
consummaiion OF this revolution. Congress
has no alternative when the suspension OF its
authority over the rebel States for two years

Johnson.
We are just now in the position Of England
after the war between the Parliament and
King Charles the First, when, from his refuge
among the Scots, he was delivered MP 70 the
Parliament for trial. There were at that time
in the Parliamentary cause the independents
and the Presbyterians, corresponding with our
radicals and conserv itives of the present day.
We know, however, that Cromwell and his
radicals achieved their grand design in tho
condemnation and beheadng Of the King, and
that the Commonwealth was next established.
This Is one parallel to our present situation;
and there IS another equally striking in tho
history of the great French revolution. So
far as his continuance In Office is concerned
