This is, of course, simply an oversight;
aud ii the people would call their atten-
ton to this, as has been done to other
matters, they might take notice.
When congressman advanced their own
pay from $4,000 to $4,000 PER aunum,
other persons who are employed in Wash
ington in the interest Of the Government,
by parity of reasoning asked similar
increase 10 their pay. There was no ar
gument In favor of Increasing the pay OF
Congressman 663 per cent. that would not
apply TO all other Government employees
in Washington, to the same extent. There
should have been no increase in either
case. They took, however, 66s to them
selves, and gave 20 TO others. The 20 to
others has ceased. The Coz to themselves
is, through oversight, or for some reason,
still continued, though retrenchment is
the order Of the day.
Some congressman are very sensitive
on suggestions from outsiders, or | would
suggest that there is splendid chance for
retrenchment, now that the war is over,
by dismissing all army officers except just
~e~~- w tAtttt tSrfh'NH Va '''N $500
mum number instead of the minimum.
That would greatly relieve the Treasury,
and make as efficient an army, though il
would thip out the shoulder-st straps from
this and other cities. A case of the SEN
sitiveness referred to, came under my own
observation a few day ago. One who not
only felt an rinterest In. public matters,
but wbe has an official connection with
the matter. called on Mr.. Spaldiug Of
Ohio, be lSng a member Of the Appro-
etio kmittee. ts= rspresenf some
facts bearing on an appropriation for
keeping 10 repair one of the public build
inss. La that case Mr.. Spalding not only
refused to hear the representation, but
treated the applicants with as much indig-
nifty as though they belonged to differenl
orders of beings, which to my certain
knowledge is not the case. Some men
wear honors with a different style than
that they wear when asking for them.

The Situation at Washinqton

The intense excitement at Washington
ss the result of the impeachment Of Andy
johnson has in measure subsided, but
the work goes bfayely on, and is the more
certain Of righteous consummation. The
Senate have adopted series Of we'll ma
tured rules for the trial of this and other
cases Of impeachment, while the House in
Committee of the Whole are celebrating
with becoming gravity the articles" OF
indictment upon which he is to be tried.
This is no child's play or farce, per-
forming for the benefit of stock -jobbers or
politicians; but the Congress of the Uni
ted States, inspired by the spirit of the
loyal people of the Nation, are about to
exhibit another practical test Of the prob
lem of constitutional republican govern
ment. We have demonstrated during the
last six years our ability to suppress and
destroy the greatest rebellion of modern
times, and il now remains TO exhibit to
the enemies of republicsnism, at home
and abroad. our capacity to impeacb, try
and convict of "high crimes and INSIDE
meanors" the highest officer known to the
Constitution. aud hurl him from power
and place, without in tho least endaDger-
ing or disturbing the peace and quiet Of
the nation.
Nsught will be done in malice. The
Senate will sit as high court of judica-
ture, presided over by the Chief Justice
of the United States, before whom An
drew johnson, the Acting President, will
be brought under arrest, and tried as any
other citizen Of the United States is tried
when charged with "crimes and misde.
meanors." 1t is right that it should be
SO. The humble shall be exalted and the
arrogant made low. The President is but
citizen Of the Republic, and is protected
or punished as the most humble in the
land. 1t is our pride and boast that we
recognize no distinctions because of birth
wealth or position, as

THIS Drill is now being extensively introduced
Il into all of the Corn Draining Sta es.
The old method of planting corn In bills 10
rapidIy being superseded by the IMPROVED
method of drilling, by which, if properly ione,
frOm five to ten per cent. per acre is added to the
yield.
The Campbell drill Is on the principle Of the
DRIVING " EEL and REVOLVING DROP
PLATE or DISK, which is the very best for dis
tributing the seed, as the grain is immediately
within the view of the operator from the time 10
leaves the seed box until il is deposited in the
ground, and is instantly covered, by deposit,
with two shires. of mellow earth, which protects
the corn during the first working.
Nearly all of the corn raised In the Great Mi
ami and hitewater Valley is planted with the
Campbell drill, and from the knowledge We have
acquired in the last ten years in manufacturing
Corn Drills, we have no hesitation in saying,
that, with the present improvements We have
adopted, we have the best Corn Drill in use. One
boy and horse can plant as fast as one man can
furrow out and farmers say that it is easier
than corn planted in hills.
To plant Broom Corn or Sorghum furnish o
device when ordered which cleses the holes in the
bottom plate TO the proper size for the seed. which
is but a moments work TO chsnge.
We could furnish any number Of certificates,
from farmers in proof of the fors going IL Ia

evidence of their decided preference.

c. ii. BINGHAM ESQ, Editor american /:
The true Union men Of this city are
looking on with deep interest as the time
Of your Congressional nomination APP
proaches. 1t is a truth unavoidable that
under the re districting Of last Winter,
with the known diseordant elements in
Wayne, Fayette and Union Counties, the
utmost harmony must prevail to insure
success. The blatant opponents of Mr..
Julian seek to fix the whole responsible
ity Of this necessity on him and his adj
herents. While il is to be regretted that
Mr.. Julian and his admirers recognize
none other than him as entitled to or
qualified for the place, there is self
constituted cabaI of his hafers. equally as
sump,ive, recognizing no succession un-
less the mantle falls on one of their shout
ders. The ear-marks of these gentlemen
were plainly visible at the late State Con-
vention in this city, monopolizing aud
shaping the action Of your District Dele
cation, greatly to the disgust Of better
and wiser men.
1t is currently rumored, and by many
believed, that this same qnarteRe of aspi-
rants, residing in the middle tier of Coun-
ties in your new District, met at Corners
vile during the Winter, and, self
tuted, agreed upon programme for the
coming campaign, the first t,co planks Of
which went under at the State Convention.
1t is believed here that your lead RcnRm1
of the District know ire4 and win Keep
close watch on their movements here
after. Their main object is to defeat Mr..
Julian for the nomination and secnrethe
succession, without which they prefer bis
nomination and defeat in October. l
know the men, their purposes. aud whom
they serve.
Bennett, Claypool and Sexton were all
named as candidates up to the Corners
vile caucus, after which the last two
gracefully subsidized, leaving but one of
those named on the track. 1t is surmised
that Judge Cullen would not have refused
the dictatorship of the District, but for the
fact that he could not serve as such while
on the bench, when the programme chan
ged and it was bestowed unsought on a
more worthy man, in the hope Of embar-
RAISING his prospects for Congressional
nomination. They may End in Captain
Farquhar too old and experienced poll
tician to foil in so glaring trick, and we
predict he will turn the nomination to
such account as win battle their pupy pur-
poses.
This is no time to parcel out Offices
The life of the Nation is at stake. The
whole State aud country are interested in
the success of your District ana all other
Union Districts. The good sense Of your
people should frown down all such truck
ling politicians, and with united voice
harmonic on the most worthy and avail
able man of the District, without regard
to locality or prior line of succession.

Articles of Impsachment.

The Articles Of Impeachment Of the
President, as finally agreed upon by the
House, are framed upon the violation of
the Consultation in attempting to remove
the Secretary Of War, and to put another
in Office, while the Senate was in session,
without its advice and consent; upon the
violation Of the Tenure-of-O law by
the same act; the conspiracy to take
possession of the office by force and arms,
and to prevent the Secretary of War by
intimidation aud threats from holding his
Office; the conspiracy to seize the proper
ty Of the United States in the War De-
partment; and upon bis attempt to insti-
gate General Emory to violate the law
which requires that all orders relating to
military operations, issued by the Presi.
dent, shall be Issued through the General
of the Army, and to make him receive
aud oct upon orders received directly from
him without notifying the General. Also
one recitlng the Presidents speeches in
swinging round the circle, and another
his declaration to the spokesman Of the
Philadelphia Convention that Congress
was an unconstitutional body, hanging on
the verge of Government.
The spirit of the House throughout the
discussion has been earnest, and its action
has indicated great harmony. 1t was the
intention of the managers TO respond to
the message of the Senate expressing
readiness to receive the articles, by bear
ing them to The bar Of that body, early on
Wednesday afternoon of this week.

"Don's" Letter.

We invite attention to the letter Of
"Don" in this issue. We heard COM
plants among the Delegates at the State
Convention of the Kind referred to, but
knowing nothing of the facts, attached nc
importance to them. The importance Of
harmony in our own ranks cannot be
overestimated. If there are those among
US who assume to dictate or scheme to
control our policy and nominations, the
people will soon assign them to that OBJ
!iyion which their deeds demand. The
people mnst look we'll to their interests.
In the selection of our candidate for Con-
gress, too much weight cannot be given to
asalabiti.y, coupled with experience and
) competency. If the feuds of the Old Fifth
are so embittered, as we fear they Gre, as
to cndanger the success Of ans one here
iofore embroiled therein, in the name Of
the country and its dearest interests let's
take a candidate in no wise implicated,
and forever heal The old sores and start
with the new District rsjayenated and dis
CENTRALIZED. 1t is due to ourselves AID the
Gauss We espodss TO discard oil personal
considerations and work for the unity Of
our party and the triumph Of hs prinei.
