The Tariff BIII-FInanciaI Matters
Impeachment. .
A letter to the Post from Washington
| 29th, says: 1t is probable the tariff bill will
| fail from lack OF time and through eXor-
| bitant demands of manufacturers. 1t can
not at any rate secure the requisite vote to
pass it over the veto, and it would not sur
prise me if all great bills failed for lack of
time.
In financial matters McCulloch's policy
| will not be disturbed. rt'lt- F'N'i'
There is nothing new on impeachment
no new witnesses have been examined. 1t
| is not probable this Congress will do any
thing toward impeachment.
