The IMPEACHMENT NEws.-The news oil
J the failure to convict the President on the
! Eleventh Article was received by our citi-
| zens generally with every token of salts
faction and joy. No sooner had the extra
STATESMAN conveyed the glorious news
from one end of the city to the other, than
the truly loyal" began to hunt their
holes, while the rebels and copperheads;'
triumphed Ger them. One of the peculiar
tiles of the case was that it was utterly inn
possible to find any man, even of the Re-
publican party, who even believed the
President would be impeached, though
some of them had staked hundreds on the
Eleventh Article. Jokes innumerable were
cracked at the expense of the few RAIDS
found on the streets after the news came.
Charley Wagner had big placard attached
to the sign in front of the door of his res
taurant, on which was inscribed .
WAITING FOR THE VERDICT!
K. h. Ia.
On the top of the sign sat huge owl,
the very picture of Gen. Comley. AS he
sat there supreme in his gravity, he seemed
like the spirit of the Journal Office waiting
for the returns of the last California cleo
tion and result of impeachment with every
prospect of its souring ON his stomach, and
refusing to believe the current reports, and
demanding facts, my boy, facts"
FENIAN MEETING-A large and enthusi-
astic meeting of the Fenian Brotherhood
and friends of Irish liberty generally, was
held on Saturday night, at the old State
Street Theater. The President of the
meeting introduced Prof. Brophy, who
made an eloquent and impassioned appeal
to the Irishmen of America. but particu-
larly those of Columbus, to respond to the
call tor aid for suffering Ireland. General
O'Neitl, the President of the Fenian Broth
erhood, next took the stand and held the
audience spell-bound, as he referred in
glowing language to the gallant deeds per-
formed in the past by the brave sons of the
Emerald Isle, and of the many heroic deeds
and results yet to be accomplished ere the
golden harp could float uncrammeled over
the green hills and lovely wales of Erin as
in days of yore. He was followed by Cen
eral Spear, soldier of thirty-three years
service, and at present Adjutant General
of the Fenian army, who made few re-
marks, but said that he was a soldier, and
having never learned to make speeches, he
would leave that to those more gifted than
himself. r

THE STEAM WHISTLE NUISANCE The
delight locomotive engineers take in giving
long ear-piercing signals with their steam
whistles at the dead hour of midnight is
not shared in to any remarkable extent by
other citizens. We wouldn't live in the
neighborhood of the depot if we could live
there rent free just because of this unbeara-
Bile nuisance at night. There is a reason in
all things, and there is no reason in allow
ing the public peace to be disturbed by
these fearful noises when a short and mod
crate whistle would answer the purpose
Just as well. The Council should respect
the rights of the public, as well as those of
the railroad, and enact an ordinance that
would do Justice to both.
CHANGE OF TIME.-We call the attention
OF the travelling public to the new time
card of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in
another column.
This road now offers to passengers from
two to eight hours quicker time to Balti-
more and Washington than any other
route.
This, with the advantage of a free visit to
Washington City, which is offered to all
passengers holding through tickets to East
ern cities, must give to this line large
travel. Tourists, we are sure, will appre-
ciate their many advantages. There is now
no change of cars at the Ohio river.
STREET RAILROAD MEETING.-There will
be meeting of those interested in the
rapid commencement and completion OF
the work on the proposed railroad on
Friend street, at Capt. Merion's office, cor
rer of Friend and High street, over Brooks,
Merton Sc Co.'s store, tomorrow (Tuesday)
afternoon, at three o'clock. 1t is hoped
every citizen feels the necessity of this i'm
provement and is willing to give it his
support, but more particularly are those
dwelling on Friend street interested. The
building of this road will increase the value
