The West.
THE PORK SEASON.

Western papers report that the pork sea-
son has opened with much more vigor than
in former years. The receipts of live hogs
at Chicago, during four days last week, foot
up 87,5tl-a larger number than ever before
received there in the same space of time,
The receipts on Tuesday were Al ,OO9-the
largest number ever marketed in tile United
States, or even the world, in any one day.
There is speculation as to the probable
length of the season. Some of the packers
figure that the present season will not last
more than thirty days, while others are of
the opinion that it will certainly extend to
the list Of January.
POLITICS AND CROPS IN MISSISSIPPI.
A native planter in Mississippi, since the
election, writes of the non-action policy,
thus:
The Conservativc-De Democratic opperhead
partys course in this election has done them
no good incline to believe their policy
will be the cause of extending the list Of
disfranchisement by State action. They
have been very bitter in their denunciations
of the Unionists, thereby renewed animosi-
ty has been engendered worse spirit pre-
yails than ever, and but for the presence of
United States troops, verify believe, inter
nal warfare would break out in less than
ten days. When the State is reconstructed
and the troops withdrawn, think it will
be highly necessary to call into being a
State Guard as in Tennessee, otherwise the
Union men will not be safc.'"
Oflhe crops he writes:
Cotton has tnrned out poorly. No
planters within the scope of my knowledge
will clear expenses, but all will loose heavi-
w. The crop will not average more than
one-and-a-balf bales to the hand. Before
the war ten bales to the hand was the
usual average"
of the Freedmen, he says, "Those that I
have hired work as well, and are as faithful
and respectful as in days of yore. have
no complaint to make against them in ny
form. -

THERE is GOOD authority for saying that the
Frecdmens Bureau will be continued until tbf
new State governments in the reconstructnp
States 20 into power which will probably be but
few months. Any other course would appear
very unjust to those Unionists for whose benefit.

We can hardly keep up with this Union
Pacific Railroad Three weeks ago we read
of four hundred and some miles completed,
then of five hundred, and now we are told
that the base of the Rocky Mountains, 525
miles from Omaha, has been reached. But
this is not all, even for this year. To the
summit of the Black Hills (thc easterly ridge
of the Rocky Mountain range) is but Thirty
miles further, and this point, the highest on
the whole line, is expected to be the hating
place for railway train in few weeks
more. The yigor with which this great ma
tiona undertaking IS being pushed forward
il one of the wonders even of this wonderful
age. Over the plains across the riyers-up
the mountain slopes, and through the defiles
beyond, the same restless energy urges on
the work, leaving us no reason to doubt that
the Pacific Ocean will be united with the
Atlantic by rail in 1870.
| All these great achievements cost money,
and great deal of it, Over forty million
dollars have already been expended on the
two ends of the line, and yet funds have
never been lacking. With directors of great
energy and financial experience, supported
by wealthy and powerful corporation, it is
no wonder that 1.-THE work goes bravely on. "
But still,if Uncle Sam had not put his Shout,

farm of half u continent needed a roat
through it-his Indians needed touch o.
railroad civilization to keep them peaceablc,
and it was very necessary that he should
open those great and rich mountain pockets
so full Of gold, which nothing but steam
engine could Intuition. 1t seems wise
therefore, that he should lend fifty million
dollars, and give even twenty million acres
OF land, which would otherwise be worth
less, to improve his own property, and take
a second mortgage on the greatest railroad
! in the world for security, especially wher
his own freight-bills for work done, at {
quarter of the old price, more than pay tn,

is to the country, it gives remarkable safet,

Washington Gossip.
WASHINGTON, December 0

THE RESULT OF SATURDAY
The Republicans opposed to Impeachment
had two reasons for pressing the question to
vote, without further discussion, as they
did on Saturday. In the first place, by
their theory, that "not to do it, was the best
policy, the less time wasted the better; and
in the second place they were afraid of the
effect of discussion by such men as Stevens,
schenck, Shellabargcr, Logan, Butler,
Thomas, Kelley, Maynard, and Kelsey, all
of whom had speeches prepared. Indeed.
no less than forty-eight of these in favor OF
Impeachment desired to speak. 1t is The
intention of Gen. Logan to soon offer am
other resolution for the Impeachment of
johnson for the purpose of giving himself
and others chance to make the speeches
they had prepared on the subject.
MR.. STEVENS.
Thad. Stevens was to i'll to lie present on
the floor, but when it was found that a vote
was to be taken he was sent for, and being
too feeble to walk, was carried in on the
moor. Ills vote was the last one recorded
for impeachment.
ANALYSIS OF THE VOTE.
An analysis of the vote shows 81 Repub-
licans for impeachment, and CT Republicans
and Al Democrats against impeachment
There were 20 absentees some were John
son Republicans, but at least eight of them
had they been present would have voted for
