IMPEACHMENT.
What the New York Papers Say.
rSnao,a1 n,cpafeh to tho Star1

tCpeClh lspdtCu W Tue SiN
NEW YORK, Feb. 26-The Times says that it
seems to be assumed in Washington that the
Washington that the President will De con.
yicted. This is partly based on the suppostion
that the vote in the Senate will be as rigidly
party as that in the House, and partly that his
guilt is so clear that no effective defense re-
mains open TO him. IL there is but one charge
brought against him, the case will be reduced
70 a dangerous simplicity. But the Senators
are sworn TO consider the case simply In the
light of the Constitution, and ad Judge il on the
evidence, we may trust that great a degree
OF faiTmindedness and fair dealing will be
brought 10 the trial as is possible in any court
that could adiudIcate such a case.
The TriJuae argues that impeachment j.
peace, reconstruction, supremacy of the law.
and the triumph of republican institutions
The World thinks that the substitution OF a
radical for Mr.. johnson viii make but little
difference in the strength OF parties. 1t de-
iends the President on public grounds. aud op-
poses impeachment from no personal or party
motives. IL insists that johnson Is a Republi-
can President, and that the difficulty betwsen
nm and Congress is quarrel IN the Republi-
can party. That be accepted the policy and
retained the Cabinet of his predecessor The
constancy with which he resisted the revolu-
uonary measures of the Radicals deserves ap-
probation. HIS methods of resistance have
been weak, and il he had taken the ad vice OF
Democrats of standing, the present imbroglio
might have been avoided.
The Herald says that this scandalous con let
between the President and Congress. on the
part Of the latter, is for the maintenance of th
party in power through universal negro suf-
frage and negro political ascendancy in the
reconstruction OF the rebel States. On the part
OF the President, 1t is mixture of retaliation.
self-conceit. offended pride, and ambitious folly
Congress sees nothing but johnson as the greai
impeachment to reconstruction. and johnson
sees nothing but Congress. johnson accuses
Congress of usurpations and despo,ic laws,
while Congress impeaches johnson Of '.hlgh
crimes and misdemeanors."

by Mr.. Stanton as Secretary of War; and dated
on the 25th instant, (yesterday.) No action was
taken upon it up TO the closing Of the Dapart-
ment last evening, and il was reported that the
Secretary Of the Treasury would not Jnor the
requisition because II was signed by Mr.. Stanton
as Secretary of War. This morning, however.
the Second Comptroller approved the requisi.
tion, and Secretary McCulloch signed warrant
for ITS payment This will, no doubt, be a pre .
cedent for action on other req uisitions and will
greatly relieve the minds of clerks and other

his counsel thereupon asked for a writ of hab-
cas- corpus, with view of ex pedlting the prog.

Court. Bu, Judge Cartier, by declining 10
hold him, and ordering his discharge, put aside
the plea for the writ Of habeas corpus. and the
cas- may now be considered at an end, unless
it should hereafter come up regularly before

Court This course, however, as involving
the slow course OF an appeal, is a tedious one,
hence the earnestness with which the counsel
for General Thomas sought to make n a case of

liberty, always takes precedence, and would
have afforded short cut to the end sought.

Dry Goods.


The course of the dry goods market has been
exactly in accordance with our predictions
prices have steadily advanced ever since the
first ming Of trade at the CONNIE ncement of
the year, and there was more excitement among
buyers during the past week than at any time
within the past year. The advance in the prices
OF the raw material has been slightly checked:
but IL Is now seen that there is no oyerstock of
goods, while the country is comparatively b1re,
and there is no likelihood Of a decline in prizes
The ease of the money market tends to increase
trade, while the disturbance in political affairs
are not OF a nature to interrupt the ordinary
course of business.
In unbleached goods the transactions have
been large and the demand very active. In
some makes there has been an unexpect ted
scarcity which cannot be easily explained.
Prices Of standard sheetings have adyanc ced
full one and a half cents, and in some cases
more. The supply OF the best maxes is very
limited for the season.
Much greater activity has prevailed in
bleached shirtings than has been known before
in long while, and, the stock in first hands
being small, prices are steadily tending up
ward. New Yorks Mills has ruled as high as
ports Of dOmestics from the port Of New York
since January I. 1865, are 1900 packages,
against only $50 packages for the same time
in 1867.
The market has been very active in every
other des cription OF domestic cotton goods, and
especially in prints. Prices are unsettled,
and the disposition to purchase largely has
been so strongly developed that some of the
manufacturers agents have withdrawn their
goods in expectation of realizing much higher
prices. The advance Of the week has been
about cent and a half yard. Ginghams are
in better demand and are selling at improved
rates. Printed lawns are moderately active
Rolled jacOnets have advanced in price, and
are in good demand, As are silesias and cam
brics.
In mousseline delaines there is not so much
doing as in cottons but prices are well sustain
ed and the demand is fairly active.
Italian cloths show slight degree Of i'm.
prove ment. In cloths there is not much change
in price though there is a more active inquiry.
Fancy cassimeres are in rather better demand
at unchanged prices. Satinets are dull. Flan-
nels sell but slowly, without change of prices,
and in small lots. The opinion prevails that
woollens will not undergo any immediate
change of rates: but there Is disposition to
purchase at present prices and hold over until
next fall, under the conviction that there must
be a considerable advance before the next sea-
son opens.
There have been some heavy sales Of foreign
&C ods, and the importations are now becom ing
quite large; but there is not q corresponding
activity in foreign fabrics compared with the
state of the domestic markets. The goods here
tofore offered at auction have not been Of the
really choice styles of dress goods adapted to
the coming season. Linen goods for mems
wear and staple silks are In good demand, and
prices are ehrmer.-fnde pendent.

Change Of Ministry In Enxland.

The Liverpool Courier contained a report yes.
terday morning that Derby had resigned the
Premiership, and that his resignation had been
accepted by the Queen. During the day the
news was confirmed. 1t was also ascertained
that Disraeli would replace Derby as Prime
Minister, al the same time retaining his present
post. In the House OF Lords yesterday after.
noon, Earl Mains berry announced that Derby
had rendered his ~ ignation to the Queen on
account Of i'll health, and her Ma iesty had
called upon the present Chancellor Of the Ex
chequer to form q new Cabinet. Russell and
others expressed their sympathy for Lord Der.
by, and hoped he might recover and resume h,s
post at the head of the Ministry. In the House
of Commons the announcement Of the rssigna-
was responded to by Gladstone, who, with
much delicacy and feeling, expressed his sor-
row. The transaction Of business in ths House
has been postponed until Friday.
