IMPEACHMENT.

The House of Representatives at five
O'Clock yesterday evening, by a strict
party vote, adopted a resolution i'm
peaching the President of the United
States OF high crimes and misdemean-
ors. The vote is not stated in our regu-
lar report, but note from our obliging
friend McKelvey, of the Union line,
says the operator at Washington in
forms him the vote was 125 to AZ. On
the impeachment resolution reported
last November by Mr.. Boutwell, on be-
half of the majority of the Judiciary
Committee, the vote stood 81 Republic
cans for and 81 Republicans against,
there being l24 Republican votes cast.
a number being absent, as usual. The
sixty-seven Republicans who then
voted against the impeachment, have
been convinced of its necessity by
the logic of Mr.. Johnson's subsequent
conduct, and one of the absentees has
been added to their number.
It is apparent that the friends OF the
Government at Washington are mas
ters of the situation, and Mr.. johnson
Is powerless to invoke the argument Of
force if he wished. Congress and the
American people have been patient
and long suffering, but the point has
at last been reached where these quail
ties cease to be virtues. The House of
Representatives has done it's duty
firmly, promptly and nobly. Let the
Senate do the same and the country
win very soon be at peace.

The Next Procedure.

Now that the House has passed the
resolution for impeachment, the next
proceeding will be for the House to ap.
point a committee to proceed to the bar
of the Senate, and announce that the
House, in its own name, and in that OF
all the people, has resolved that the
President should be impeached of high
crimes and misdemeanors, and that in
due time the House will present arti-
Giles, and make them good. The House
will then appoint Committee OF Man
ayers to draw up articles of impeach-
ment, and when passed by the House,
the Managers will go to the bar of the
Senate and announce the action of the
House, and ask the Senate to fix the
time to try the charges, and cite An
drew johnson to appear. The Senate
is then bound to fix the time and in
form the House. AT the trial the House
attends in body, and five Managers
conduct the prosecution.

The follwing account OF General
Thomas last interview with Mr.. STAN
ton was written out by a person who
was present:
About 1l:3O A. NJ, General Thomas.
having just been released on bail by
Judge Cartier, presented himself at the
door of the Department and told Mr.
stanton thathe would like to see him.
Mr.. stanton told him to proceed with
| anything he had to say. Gen. Thomas
remarked that he had come to dis.
charge his duties as Secretary of War
al Interim, having been ordered to do
SO by tho President of the United
States. Mr.. Stanton replied that he
could do no such thing, and
oroefed MIN to perform his du-
ties as Adiutaut General. General
Thomas replied that he Ind been order
ed by the President to act as Secretary
of War, and he intended to do IL. Mr..
Stanton again replied he should not,
and again ordered him TO his own room
and denied the power of the President
10 make any such order. Gen. Thomas
said he would not go; that he should
obey the orders of the President, and
not obey the orders of Mr.. Stanton.
Mr.. Stanton remarked-"As Secreta.
ry of War, order you to repair to
your own place as Adjutant General, ~
Gen. ThOmas-'I shall not doso."
AIR. stanton Satd-"Then you NAV
stay there as long as you please IL the
President orders you; but you cannot
act as Secretary of War"
Gen. Thomas-'I shall act as Secre-
tary of War"
General Thomas then withdrew into
room opposite, being Gen. Shriver's
room: Mr.. Stanton Immediately fol-
lowed him.
After some conversation Mr.. Stanton
said :-"Then you claim 10 be here "a
secretary OF War, and refuse to obey
Gen. Thomas-"I do, sir; 1 shall re-.
ment TO be delivered to me, and shall
transact all business OF the War De.
partment."
At this juncture General Grant and
aid came in. General Grant said ,plav-
fully, to Mr.. Stanton:-"I am sur
prfsed to find you here. I supposed
you would be at my headquarters for
projections"
Gen. Thomas remained until the al.
ternoon. and then went over 10 the
White House to see the President. Gen,
Grant left Secretary Stanton in about
an hour.

Inc wheeling and Toledo RAILROAD

The wheeling and Toledo Railroad.
The Railroad Convention at New
Philadelphia, Ohio, last Thursday was
quite considerable affair both in
point of numbers and weight of charac-
ter. There were present some two
hundred delegates, men of intelligence,
responsibility and energy, representing
several counties along the line of the
route between Wheeling and Toledo.
They came together full of the idea of
buildings road from some point on the
Ohio river at or near Wheeling to some
point on Lake Erie west of Cleveland,
Before adjourning they agreed upon
Wheeling and Toledo as the termjni,
and alsC upon New Philadelphia
Is one OF the intermediate points. The
route from here to the latter place will
be up Indian Wheeling Creek to Still
water. thence down that stream to the
Tuscarnwas, and thence up that river
to New Philadelphia. The maximum
grade it is said will not exceed thirty
i've feet TO The mile, and the average
grade will not perhaps exceed twenty
feet.
One OF the hTSt considerations in
connection with this new, road is OF a
local character. 1t will open up to
Wheeling direct and convenient
avenue of intercourse with rich scope
of country in the counties of Belmont,
Harrison and Tuscarawas, aud in the
counties on either side and west of
them. We now reach place like New
Philadelphia by going up the Cleve-
land and Pittsburgh road to Bayard,
or else to Urichsville on the steu BEN
vile and Indiana road. BY either
route tho journey is long, expensive
and tedious. Could we go direct the
distance would only be % miles. or
course our trade is necessarily limited
in that direction by reason of the
present poor facilities for shipment
and yet in the aggregate it is
not rrifie in the course of year.
Open up tho proposed road and where
we now sell one dollars worth to the
counties that would be served by the
line We should possibly sell ten or
twenty. Our relations would nece..
sarily become close and intimate with
