Wool Markets

PITTSDCRG, jelly 81, 1901.
The wool market, since our last week
" report, has been extremely dull and
prices declining. Dealers have no hope
of any advance in prices until there is a
revival in the wooden goods trade, as
manufacturers are not disposed to pur-
chase at any margin in favor of our
dealers at the prices they are now pay
ing for woods and since our last there
has been a considerable decline in the
Eastern markets. The receipts in this
market are very small-and small as
they are, dealers are Indifferent about
purchasing at the following quotations:
Common fleece. 80 10 3ac
Quarter blood fleece. 80 10 4Oc
Half blood fleece. AZ 10 foc
Three Quarter blood fleece ..-....---.- 10 10 fic
r. mil blood fleece ...... SOC
The Steubenville Herald says: A very
large amount of wool has been pur-
chased in this market during the two
weeks last past. The average clips OF
Jefferson county have been purchased
at soc per pound. Fancy clips have
been sold at frCm 50 to 60c per pound.
We learn this morning that Mr.. Talbot
Hammond, of Brooke county, West Va,
sold his clip last week to Mr.. Wiley, of
Washington, Pa, for 75c per pound;
Other lots in the same neighborhoodi
have been sold from Is to 15c per pound
fancy clips, of course. The wool mar
ket is improving-and prices upon the
whole, so far as we have been able 10
learn, are stiffening up.
The Kenton Republican says: The wool
market in this section still continues
dull. owing to the inactivity Of the
trade in the East. Prices rule aOont
the same as our last quotation from 80
to 43c.

A Quietus.

AS THE country had every reason to suppose,
from the temper manifested by a majority of
the Republicans in Congress, the proposed
impeachment of Andrew Johnson was de-
eisively defeated on Saturday afternoon, the
vote standing l08 noes to 81 ayes. Of the
former but AZ were given by the Democratic
members, while 66 Republicans altogether
voted in the negative. The opposition to i'm
peachment, therefore, embraces not only two
thirds of the whole House, but a clear majority
of the Repu blican side of it.. This last fact is
one on which the country certainly deserves
congratulation, for it places the impeachment
faction so clearly and definitely in the minority
that they have no hope whatever of gaining
the ascendancy as matters now stand. 1t like
wise places the position of the Re-
publican party squarely before the coun-
try. Andrew Johnson is considered by
large majority of its adherents, if
not by every Tuan who can properly
lay claim to cooperation with it, as a ''bold,
bad man." But it has decided most emphati-
cally that, although it considers the President
guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors
policy demands that for the present it shall
not prosecute these charges "to final trial and
punishment" In the language of Mr.. Bout
well, 'ft is not strange that sensitive and
conscientious public opinion shrinks from a
proceeding so solemn in its character, the end
of which men cannot toresee."
Such being the deliberate decision of the
raoOnYoi1ad 1ao6arc Of he
of wearisome agitation, we hope we shall not
again have occasion to refer to impeachment
during the remaining fifteen months of Mr..
Johnson's administration. At the end of
that time he can be quietly lost sight of, and
left at liberty to devote the remainder of his
natural existence to ruminatng upon the vast
amount of mischief which he accomplished
while in the flesh politically, and the still
greater evils in the effort to thrust which upon
the country he was forestalled by faithful
and patriotic Congress. But it is not enough
that the question of impeachment has been
formally and definitely settled. An end should
be put to all discussion of the matter,
especially in the halls of Congress, which
has enough before it in the single department
OF finance to occupy the whole of the present
session. The country will, therefore, regret
that, as soon as the vote had been taken, and
the attention of the House turned to the i'm
portant subject of the contraction of the cur
renry, several members dragged the dead
carcass of impeachment before that body and
attempted to fan it into spasmodic vitality
Such a course should be deprecated by all who
have the welfare of the country and the inte-
gritty of the Republican party at heart, and
we hope that we shall not witness the repeti-
ton of such an unseemly farce.

the New York Journal of Commerce, which
gives a correct idea Of the real status Of the
"ereenbaoxs." While we do not go 80 far as
to denounoe the '1egal-tenders" in the un-
measured terms in which our contemporary
INDUCES, yet we desire as earnestly as it does
that specie payment may be resumed, and the
necessity which compelled the ''greenbacles"
being issued be removed. It says:--
''The recognition by the Secretary of the
Treasury Of the fact that all the financial evils
which are now manifest, and the dangers
issue by the Government Of an inconver-
tible currency with the legal attributes of
money, affords gratifying evidence of a whole
some chasge in public sentiment" and adds:
''It is something to gain official recognition of
the fact that the issue of legal-tepders was a
grand mistake from the beginning, inevitably
demoralizing and corrupting in its tendency,
and to be withdrawn before there can be any
hope of restoring the country to sound
financial condition.
The great danger to which we are continu-
ally subjected by legislative action on fnan-
cial topics arises from the liability of profes-
sional men to go to extremes in business
transactions. Congress is composed to a large
extent of lawyers, and has but a small proper
ton of merchants or business men. Hence,
there is always danger of the grand law to
'never use force in finance" being overlooked.
We hope, however, that having declared, very
properly, against further contraction at pre-
sent, that body will also exhibit oommenda-
BILE discretion in the exercise of its other
attributes in the power to issue new loans, and
thus prevent imitation. Of the two evils, it is
hard to decide which will do the country more
ultimate harm.

MONDAY, DECEMBER Q, 1867.
The Vote in Congress on the COntrac-
tiOn of the Currency.

IT frequently happens that question the i'm
portance Of which is secondary Is forced into
a most prominent position by the ability of
ia advocates, while the absence of discussion
leaves far more vital issue pass by un-
needed. This was the case in Congress on
Saturday, when the impeachment vote mono
polized all the interest of the public to the de-
triment Of the far more important question
which was decided on the same day. We refer
to the passage Of the House bill in opposition
TO any further contraction of the currency.
During the session of the Thirty ninth
Congress-, bill was passed, April
IL, 1856, authorizing the Secretary of
the Treasury to withdraw, If he saw
proper, the United States notes in circulation,
at rate not to exceed $4,000, 600 per month.
In accordance with the power thus given him,
the Secretary for several months withdrew
the amount designated; but finding that
stringency in the market was beginning to
result, and that the finances of the country
were not in condition to authorize any long
continuation of the measure, he has not for
many months past exercised the power vested
in him. On Saturday the Committee of Ways
and Means reported the bill repeating the
power previously given, and preventing in
the future any furthur contraction until
another law was passed expressly providing
therefor. The vote on the question was 128
yeas to 80 nays. The manner in which our
Pennsylvania delegation voted on that i'm
portant question is a valuable index as to
their views on the subject, and we give the
unta in dafaiI.-
