The preliminary report of the impeachment
Managers on their investigation of the alleged
corrupt means used to influence the vote OF
the Court of Impeachment was presented in
the House yesterday 1t caused Sensation"
to say the least, and seems to have given
Impeachment a new lease of life. The report
dwells on the operations of Mr.. WOOlley, who,
it alleges, was the principal agent of the COM
bination formed to bribe Senators, and
declares that evidence exists i'll a certain
telegram that the work was accomplished.
1t is to procure an order for the arrest
and detention of Wooley until he can be
made to divulge something more of the plot,
that the Managers make this report. The
| evidence is startling, and proves that the sus-
piciOn of corruption among Senators is only
| too well founded. Mr.. S. S. Cox, Mr. T. Weed,
Mr.. Collector Smythe, and others, testify that
various schemes for the purchase of Senators
votes were broached to them. The House
granted the order for the arrest of Woolley,
for further examination. 1t is, nevertheless,
uncertain whether the Senate will postpone
the vote on the remaining articles to-day.

that the names and principles thus presented
will be overwhelmingly indorsed by the votes of
nearly ALL if not absolutely ALL the States in
the Union. Even the recusant Senators hasten
TO announce their fealty to the ticket and the
platform, in the hope thus TO glide back unob-
served amid the general congratulations and re-
sumo their places beside those whose convictions
of right and opinions of law did not change
with every trihing verbal alteration in the
form of the oath they were under. The
Satanic press bastens i'll vain to weaken the
ticket by offensive and damaging praise The
press whose function it is like Blondin, to
hang balancing and manacled over the chasm
which divides truth from error and right from
crime, unbasket their feet and hurry to land
Oh the "hithern side.

ton. This mountain, which is situated near
the middle of the island is about 1850 feet in
hight and of immense breadth, is the largest
volcano known, and its former eruptions have
been remarkable for the great quantity of
ashes and lava thrown out. The mountain began
in earnest after the heavy shocks, and three or
four days afterward new crater a mile and
half in circumference was formed. From this
crater four or five huge jets of lava constantly
shot forth to hight.of 500 to 1000 feet, forming
one continuous spouting nearly mile in breadth.
The lava, red-hot and filled with earth and
stones, poured down in solid river, in some
places more than thousand feet wide. This
river spread over great amount of territory,
and was expected very shortly to reach the
sea. One account says that 1900 shocks OF
earthquake have been felt within ten days.

REAL ESTATE,

The characteristic of the real estate market,
Just now, in SO far as the sale of lots in this
city is concerned, is quietude The time has
at length come when the Spring sales are over,
and the Summer sales have not commenced,
and during this interval stagnatiOn is ever the
rule 1t is not probable that there will be
any great number of city building sites
put upon the market until the Fall,
when the intOxicatiOn over country residences
will have been removed, and beauties can alone
be found in town mansions, to possess which
the wealthy, who are not already provided.
Will be willing to pay, as they have in
the past, whatever prices may be de-
manded. Building, however, is prose-
cuted with vigOr at present, and can
only be retarded by the conduct of
workmen, who may avail themselves of the pre-
vailing demand for skilled mechanics to insist
upon an increased remuneration, which may
not be warranted by the terms of existing con-
tracts, and thus necessitate suspension of
business The only hope for averting this ces-
satiOn of labor is the good judgment of the
employees, and the probability that contractors
anticipated such a course and have pro-
vided for it in the terms of their
agreements. In almost every part OF the city
new buildings, that will much improve their
several localities, are in process of construc-
ton, and any event that may tend to retard
their completion is to be deplored. Although
there are few sales of lots and houses now
effected, the prices of real estate do
not lessen, nor is 1t probable that
they will depreciate. There are too many
causes operating in this city to maintain the
existing high rates; they may, and doubtlessly
will, still further advance, but a reduction need
not be hoped for unless one courts disappoint-
ment Country lands will soon be in the mar
ket-indeed, they are already; and here just now
is where people of moderate means may hope
to obtain homes for themselves and families.
Those with a limited bank account are also en-
abled to possess a lot whereOn to build house.
because of the small advances required and the
long time given in which to complete the pur-
chase. Until September rural homes will mo-
nopolize the market; after that month urban
residences will be the desirable offerings.

We print on another page very full particu-
lars of the wonderful earthquakes and volcanic
eruptions in the Sandwich Islands, of which
some accounts have already been given by
dispatches from San Francisco. These phe-
nomena have been (and still are, according to
latest advices) unparalleled by any similar
events in the history of the world. Even the
outbreak of Vesuvius, in which Pompei and
Herculaneum were overwhelmed, was trihing
when compared with this effort of Mauna L0a.
The main facts of the case before us are these
On the 2Sth Of March began frequent shocks
of earthquake, of considerable severity, grow
ing more and more frequent until the I'd of
April, when the whole force seemed to con-
centrate into one terrible conyulsion, when the
earth opened in various directions, the sea rose
in extraordinary waves, and the small islands
fairly rocked like trees in gale. In this
single shock several villages, inhabited chiefly
by natives, were destroyed, and more than one
hundred persons were killed. At the hight of
the shock the sea rushed high up the
land and instantly receded to great
distance. The whole island of Hawaii, which
is about the size of the State of Connecticut,
was covered with dense smoke from Mauna
Loa. which now began to give signs of eruD-

Mr. John W. Chanler is a Representative in
Congress of that portion of our City wherein
the Rebellion of 1868 was most persistent and
murderous and where it cost more human lives
than in all other districts. That district was
pro-Rebel by a large majority, and its repre-
sentative was as much so as he dared be in
view of the peril of expulsion. Mr.. Chanler
now, in perfect consistency, asks Congress to
resolve that his brother traitors, being White,
have a right to dsfranchse the loyal Blacks OF
their respective States so soon as they shall see
fit. When Mackerelvile elects majority to
Congress, Mr.. Chanler's resolve will probably

is from $25 Al TO $31 % (nOt els, as Putnam
says), while the United States tariff of 1865 is
S25 to $50 per tun. On small iron wares the
French tariff is $29 80 and upward, while ours
is from $50 to S70 per tun. On tin pots and
pans, the French tariff is $5s 62 per tun, while
ours is the much less protective ad vdtorem
duty of 35 per cent. Putnam states that the
French tariff Charged but S2G per tun on
"steel, in place of our duties of $50 to SCI
"per tun." On steel in bars, the French duty
is 500, and our own is from S45 TO S70.
But steel in bars sustains the relation of raw
material to the fine manufactures of France,
When manufactured into tools, the tariff ia
$40 per tun; and on sewing-needles it is from
S175 per tun to $3.50 per tun. While linens in
our tariff have only two grades, and those
ad UdlOrem, in the French they have "A
grades each nicely adapted to graduate the
degree of duty to correspond to the amount
of labor invested in it. Our Morrill, tariff
graduated the rates on cotton yarns, according
to the number of threads, so as to make four
grades; while the French Disseminated in its
rates of tariff on the same by the threads 50
as to make 140 grades.
No further facts can be necessary to show
depth in attempting TO describe the character
or effects of the French tariff, still more to de-
rive therefrom any reasons for abOlishing our
own. NJ Theirs, the French historian has just
closed speech in the French Chambers on the
Tariff question, the details of which have not
yet reached u.s., but in which he aims to show
that it is not as protective as it should be, and
that the present prostratiOn of industry in
France is due in part to this cause. However
this may be, the French tariff is far more
nicely adapted to the protective principle than
any we have yet had. For while, as NJ. Ba-
roche affirmed on behalf of the Emperor and
the Council of State in the French Legislature,
it leaves no department of French labor with
out adequate protection, onrs levies heavy du-
ties in many cases where they afford little or
no protection, and leaves exposed some branches
of industry which it would be desirable to
guard

Mr.. Samuel F. Cary yesterday asked the
House of Representatives to resolve that the
Five-Twenty bonds of the Government are
payable, not in the currency which the takers
were expressly promised and which they un-
doubtedly expected to receive when they came
to the rescue of the country from Rebel sub
version, but in another and inferior currency.
He says the public creditors and the War PEN
sioners should be paid alike, which can hon
estly be effected by the simple process of Re
sumption. But Sam doesn't want that-he wants
to inaugurate gigantic fraud, like that which
sent him to Congress as a Republican, when he
is at heart a PendetOn COpperhead, and will
be reelected as that if reelected at all. We
advise him not to run the same year with
GRANT and COLFAX.
