TIE IMPEACHMENT QUESTION is again
being agitated in Congress. The disclosures
MADDEN the Grant-J ohnson correspondence
show conclusively deliberate design on the
part Of johnson to defy the laws. It would
seem from present indications that we owe
IL alone to Grant frmness and determine
ton to obey the law. that we are not at this
moment engaged in an actual war, with
johnson in Control Of the military power,
resisting congress and the laws Of the land
and proclaiming himself Dictator. 1t seems
shat but Tor Grant We might at this moment
be again involved in all the horrors of an
other civil war. IF Congress once more
brings up the Impeachment question it is to
be hoped, the matter viii not be permitted
TO rest until so dangerous and reckless a
! character as johnson shall be regularly and
fairly tried and removed from the position
he has so shamelully abused and dishonored
While he fills the Executive chair the ma
tion cannot have peace. He seems to de-
light in strife and turmoil and exerts all his
ingenuity to prevent that condition Of peace
and tranquility which the country no much

rHE CURRENCY QUESTION.

Congress has at last settled the contrac-
ton question by passing through both
Houses the bill to suspend all further con-
traction Of the currency. We showed con-
clusively some time ago, that, notwithstaud-
ing the contraction cry, there was not actu-
ally as much currency or circulating medi-
um Of any kind available for the transacting
of the business Of the country, in proportion
10 the extent Of that business and the in
creased prices. as there had been before any
greeBbaUks were issued. We also showed
that McCulloch sinsane and almost suicidal
efforts at contraction had had no visible et-
feet upon the price of specie or Of the neces
saries Of life, and that the remedy Tor high
prices was not to be found in that direction.
Business prospects are already Frightening
under the feeling of confidence inspired by
this timely action of Congress Tine and
the laws Of supply and demand viii of
themselves correct the high prices and the
gold premium May the time be far distant
when We shall lose our present convenient
and every way desirable national and Green
back currency. We want better and more
equal distribution Of National Banks than
at present exists, but nothing more disas-
trous to the businessiuterests Of the country
could befaIl US than the abolition Of our ma
tional currency. Let McCulloch now give
his attention to the payment of the national
debt instead Of increasing it by borrowing
money to withdraw our currency and fund it
| in interest bearing bonds.

IRIS a noticeable fact that the late great
sneeeh Of Hon. Glenni W. Seo6eld, Repre-
sentative ia Congress from the Erie district,
land which was adopted as campaign
document BY the Republican National Com
miitee) is more generally published IN the
PENNSYLVANIA Republican newspapers than
any speech made in Congress by any OF our
Representatives. Facts like these, which
indicate public endorsement of the we'll
doing of public men, are worthy Of record,
as well to show sound state OF popular
feeling, as to reward true statesman for
the performance of a great duty.

w. B. REED, Philadelphia copperhead,
has Just published another pamphlet,
launched at the great historian, Bancroft,
in defence of his grandiather's revolutiona-
~ record. Imagine what deluge Of
pamphlets will be likely to food the coun-
try when the grandsons Of orr copperhead
cotemporaries, take mp the gauntlet to de-
fend the records Of their grandfather, during
the past rebellion, against the impartial hi1-
tory of some future Bancroft They will
doubtless find quite as hard labor as Mr..
Reed and much less sympathy. They will
have more than faint hearteduess to defend
against, aud infinitely less ground Of de-
fence. They viii then doubtless learn the
meaning Of the word loyal, which copper
heads of the present day seem utterly unable
to comprehend.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July p
The committee on Ways and Means
reported to the House u day the fol-
lowing bill, in obedience to the order Of
the House; saying, however, that it is
contrary to their own best Judgment.
They reserve to themselves the right,
rs members of the House, Ia oppose in
every possible way the adoption of
measure which they regard rs hostile
to public interest and injurious to ma
tional character:
4 ill 10 authorize an internal tdr on the
interest on bonds and other securities of
The United States:
BE il enacted, &C., That from and after
the passage OF this act there shall be
levied, collected and paid tax of III
per Centum on the amount of interest
hereafter due and payable on all the
bonds and other securities of the United
States. To secure the collection of said
tax the amount of interest hereafter
paid on any bonds or other securities
of the United States bearing interest at
& per centum shall be ut the rate of
) $40 per centum, aud bearing interest
ut the rate OF D per centum shall be at
the rate of only $40 per centum, aud
bearing interest ut the rate of 3 per
centum shall be at the rate of only
9 40 per ceHtam per AMMAN. No high
er rate of interest than is here prescrib-
ed shall he paid on any bond or other
security of the United States now out
standing or authorized to be issued, all
conditions of such bonds or other secu.
rity and all laws and parts of laws to
the contrary notwithstanding.
