Finance and Currency.

From the tribune
As to the prospective action OF Congress on
finance and currency, our guess may prove
quite erroneous; but it is our impression that
the sum total of the doings of this session will
be Just abont nothing at all. We judge that
there is a majority in the House who would be
gratifed if further imitation and debasement
could be covered by any decent preteXt; we
trust that there is no majority in either House
ready to venture upon it without a preteXt
The Senate, we hope, would not vote to initiate
whether with or without a pretext, but it has
NOT vet broken ground for prompt resumption;
and does not allow us to forget that it originated
The provision OF last session whereby the Secre-
fary OF the Treasury was forbidden to make good
the Governments greenback promises to pay
Until further developments, we shall presume
fhat the proximity OF the 4th of March aud the
urgency OF other business VIII preclude dec-
siVe action on the currency at thls session.
Meantime, Secretary McCalloch will go on with
his regular withdrawal and destruction oil
preenbacks at the rate of $4,000, 900 per month.
THIS is not much, but 1t is better than nothing.
AS to the various projects which look to the
wholesale withdrawal of the notes OF our Ma
tional banks and their replacement by green
backs, we regard them allIWlth complacency, /
not with positive favor; but we insist thai
resumption shall be the first step. Let us hav'
no more systematic national falsehood. WheI
our greenbacks were first authorized and Issued
IL was with distinct understanding that the!
should be convertible into interest-bearn
BONDS at the option OF the holder and that the
should be redeemed in coin at the easiest poss
BILE day. They were issued as a gigantic force
loan, in satisfaction OF our imperilled Union
urgent, imperious needs.
The expedient scarcely differed little in pru
ciple from, but WAS an improvement upon, Uha
debasement of the coinage so familiar to tn
despotic rulers Of the middle ages Its justil
cation is found in the national peril wherein
originated and which it powerfully aided t

The Democracy and the Impeaohneent.
From the World

From the World.
Nj. Greeley, who has recently spent several
days in Washington, briefly sums up the result
of his observations, in an editorial in Mondays
Tribune. On the subject of impeachment he
makes this statement:-"The idea of lmpeach-
ing and removing President johnson has more
strength in the House than we had supposed,
and seems to be gaining supporters. However,
it is not likely to be definitely acted on at the
present session."
This confirms the impression we had received
from our own sources of information. The
enemies of the President are keenly in earnest
Soon after the 4th of March they will vigorously
! press the impeachment. Mr.. Greeley thinks
! the movement incorporate and traught with
! probable ruin to the party; but since his famous
! Niagara mission, the party has been accustomed
! to pay little respect to his judgment. The lul'
! peachment will proceed in spite of him. and
! before the trial Is concluded we shall doubtless
see him whipped into the traces by the coerclve
| power of party discipline.
! In so great conjuDcture as a gr0undless
attempt to depose the President, what will be
the course of the Democratic party! 1t is quite
impossible that this question should receive 6
circumstantial answer in advance. whether
the Democracy will resist by force, or by peace
full opposition, cannot be decided until 1t Is seer
to what precise pitch of headlong eXtrrVaganct
the Republican party will go; but that we shal

Rsv1lls, of last Saturday, says that 9
petition to Congress has been made by
the people of Arizona, asking a retro

They represent that their connection

Carson, our capitol, can be reached only
by many hundred miles of desert travel
ing, one Of the deserts being the cele-
brated Death Valley, which is almost
impossible to cross; or it is necessary to
make the journey by San Francisco, a
distance of twelve or fifteen hundred
miles. The Reusille is opposed to chang

FENALE DRuSKENAss-The Round
Table publishes q startling article upon
drunkenness among fashionable ladies,
and that some of the most elegant of
them will pass the summer, not at Sara
toga or Newport as usual, but at an
asylum for i~nebriates. The writer init
mates that the vice of fashionable drink
ing is now more prevalent among the
ladies than among the gentlemen Of this
country. That certain dressmakers
make It a point to furnish their custom
ers with a drink, while in some stores
bottles Of wine are also kept on hand
for lady shoppers, and in others the
merchants allow their boys to 60 to
the nearest bar-room for liquor when
ladies desire it. Whisky and brandy
are the favorite drinks of these ladies,
and as some of the saloons they fire.
quent do not have these liquors on
the bill Of fare, a neat little sign-"If
you do not see what you want, ask for
IT," gives the hint to the initiated. In
dressmaker's bills, the significant item,
"small trimmings" often covers up the
expense Of liquors which the lady has
ordered through the modiste who pan
ders to her vitiated taste, while at the
watering places, q bride TO the waiter
p~rocures asecret supply ofliquor, which
by the connivance Of the landlord, 10
charged as "extra luncheons." It is
asserted that girls Of. eighteen, daugh-
tiers of most respectable New York mer-
chants, have been seen grossly intoxi-
Gated in Broadway stages, and upon the
public streets, and that no superiority
Of intellect or social position is suficint
to guard a lady against this vice.

Two WASHINGTON CELEBRITIES. =
Every person who has spent one winter
in Washington has met Beau Hickman,
q species of American Harold Skimpole,
who, without any other Q of sup
port, levies tribute on every gentleman
who is introduced to him. AS his per-
sonnet is impressive and his audacity
something superb, he succeeds in Sc
curing q living. A correspondent Of
the N. Y. Tribune thus narrates an
amusing incident in which Beau figures:
A little incident occurred in this city
during the recent visit of John Morris
sey worth relating. As this gentleman
was standing in the door of Wizards
he vas approached and saluted by the
notorious Beau Hickman in his politest
tone, who remarked: "The Honorable
Mr.. Morrissey, member of Congress from
New York, | believe" "The same, at
your service" good-naturediy replied
Morrissey. dI am Beau Hickman, Mr..
Morrissey. I am glad to zee you"
"Ah, Mr.. Hickman" giving him his
hand, "what q l do for your Gan
introduction fee of n dollar from you,
If you please, Mr.. Morrissey." The tax
was cheerfully paid, and the two celeb
rites conversed for some moments upon
the state Of the country, the policy Of
the President and Congress. Beau sub
sequently, in remarking upon the gem
tlemanly manner Of Mr.. Morrissey, said
that it really appeared to him that the
South had got back and the country was
safe.

A SLIGHT MIsrAKR.-A little incident
transpired In a family circle up town
the other evening that is too good to
keep, and shall be confided to the read
ers Of the Herald. The kitchen Of the
excellent family of which l speak is pre-
sided Q by a good looking domestic
whom we will call Mary Ann, she ~rejoic-
ing in the attentive devotions Of q manly
young male servant, employed by a
neighboring family, named John. Now,
such were Johns relations with the fair
Mary Ann-they we're "engaged" just
like anybody's folks-that be was in the
habit Of entering his inamoraia's do
main without the formality of knocking.
And be it known that the lord Of the
mansion had been absent several days,
and was expected home by the evening
train. On that evening the mistress Of
the house sat in her boudoir painting in
expectation Of the coming Of her hus-
band. Shortly she hesrd-or thought
she did--his familiar footstep at the side
door, This usual place Of entry,) and
dashing down the stairs in the darkness
she precipitated herself into his arms.
A loving, lingering kiss was imprinted
upon the cheek Of the representative of
the sterner sex. He answered not, but
pressed her closer to his heaying bosom.
How long this thing would have gone
on is not easy for US to say, had not an
adjoining door been thrown open by the
pretty Mary Ann with q light in her
hand, when what a sight wal revealed
to all threel Mary saw her handsome
mistress in the arms of her own lusty
lover John; the mistress saw, not her
expected spouse, but Mary AIMS young
man; and John-well he was so dumb
founded (supposing that be was hugging
Mary Ann all the time that he couldn't
see anything. In the midst Of the mud
die the husband entered and the tableduz
piivant was complete ! He soon compre-
hended the affair, however, and had too
much good sense to scold his wife for
"carelessness," or to keep 80 good q
joke to himself, but,he lever imagined

CoxpLrxrxrARY.-The following is an
extract from q letter from Mammoth
District, Nye County, published in the
Reese River ReveilIs of Saturday, and is
highly complimentary to n Of her
Representatives in the Legislature. The
Assemblymen, we believe, were both
elected with the distinct understanding
to 20 for Senator Nye's reelection I:
"The Fon. W. T. Jones leaves next
week for Carson, as one Of the members
Of the Legislature from this (Nye)
County, and if he is as thorough and
attentive to the interests of his constit-
uents q. Carson as he has been to the
interests Of this mining district, no bet
ter man could represent us, and Nye
County may well feel proud Of her rep
r~esentative." The other member from
that County is the Hon. J. N. Groves.
