sOn-The Impeachment Remedy-Signin.
cant Proceedings.
Tho arrest and holding subject to bail of
General Lorenzo Thomas, appointed by the
President to ill the Office of Secretary OF War,
in the place of Stanton, removed, Is explained
by the fifth section of the Tenure of Office law,
which is as fOllows:--
SECTION g. And be II further enacted, That il any
person Shall contrary to the provisions of this act
accept any appointment to employ in any Office
or Shall hold or exercise attempt to hold
any such oice or employment he shall be deemed,
and is hereby declared to be, guilty OF high misde
meanor. and, upon trial aud lcon thereof he shall
be punished therefor by fine not exceeding thou
sand dollars or by Imprisonment not exceeding five
years. or both said punishments in tho discretion Of the
court
This carries the case Of General Thomas
into the Supreme Court Of the District of
Columbia, we suppose but when the trial
will come off and be brought to judgment it
is difficult to conjecture.
In the next place. it appears that the Recon
struction Committee have resolved by a strict
party division--seven to two-to recommend
to the House the impeachment of Andrew
johnson, and their case, doubtless, rests upon
the sixth section of the Tenure Of Office law,
which is as follows:-
SECTION g. Aud be it further enacted That every re-
moval, appointments or employment made. had or
exercised contrary to the provisions of this and the
making signing sealing. counersgning issuing Of
any commission letter of authority for in respect
to any such appointment employment, shall be
deemed and hereby declared to be- high misde-
meanors, and upon trial and conviction thereof
person guilty thereof shall be punished by fine not
exceeding ten thousand dollars by imprisonment
exceeding five years, both said punis ishments in the
discretion of the court Provided that the President
shall have power to make out and deliver alter tho ad
journment OF tho Senate commissions for all officers
whose appointment shall have been advised and con-
sented TO by the Senate.
Now, when in the first section OF this act it is
declared substantially that the members Of the
Cabinet shall hold their offices respectively
during the Presidents term of Office and ono
month thereafter, unless removed by and with
the advice and consent of the Senate, it will be
perceived, with the recorded refusal of the
Senate to consent to this removal of Stanton,
that here is case which may enable the i'm
peachment committee to carry their scheme
through the House. The Reconstruction Com
mittec is composed Of Messrs. Stevens, of Penn
sylvania chairman; Boutwell,, Of Massachu-
sets; Bingham, OF Ohio; Farnsworth, OF
Illinois; Hulburd, of New York; Beaman,
of Michigan; Paine, of Wisconsin, republicans
and Brooks, of New York, and Beck, OF Ken.

III IS only now that the startling features OF
the winter fashions in Europe are becoming
fully developed in this city. We have laughed
over the caricatures Of the prevailing fashions
of Europe in Punch and Charioori as something
that was invented only for the burlesque
stage; but those caricatures have met us ON
Broadway for the last few days. The cactus and
other thorny kinds of dress, the ornithological,
chronological and genealogical styles of toi.
lets are extensively conspicuous on our great
thOroughfare latterly, and some of our most
beautiful pedestrennes are clad in raiment
that would astOnsh their grandmothers and
other respected progentors Yet there is
pleasing exception to the rule of absurdity and
i'll taste. Many of the recognized leaders OF
fashion on Manhattan Island have yentured to
wear in public toilets that exactly cOrre-
sponded with their particular style of beauty
in form, height, complexion and manner.
Next month the great opening day of the year
will take place, and our metropolitan modistes
are closeted at present, studying over the
latest phases OF fashion and devisng startling
novelties for their customers.

this week informs us of many interesting facts.
First, the modern Viking, Farragut, gave
grand ball on his flagship at Nice, which was
garnered with rich toilets and pretty women.
Then the third official ball at the Tuileries
brought forward in the most resplendent man
ner several American ladies, whose toilets
and beauty were the theme of all the fashion
able wiseacres on the other side. The Pr n
cess Metternich presided over German ball
at the Grand Hotel, which was characterized
by superabundance of dreamy eyes, fair
chignons, interminable waltzing and Teutonic
bodices. A clergyman's wife in London wants
all servant girls to wear uniforms but the OBJ
stinate "help" refuse to agree with her sug-
gestions. The dtcoAetees of Paris are fast ap-
preaching Eve-like simplicity. If their style
Of dressing be adopted there will be little OF
the bodice of dress left for us to speak about
at the opening day i'll March. We agree with
our correspondent in saying that there is no
use in preaching to servant girls as long as
their mistresses indulge in every kind of toilet
extravaganza.

up Then the president and Boggs and Stubbs
and Nash, their counsel, opened their mouths
simultaneously, and gave utterance to an
oracular Ahem." The profundity OF the gen.
ueman who had gone before had dumbfounded
them with new theory OF majorities, and
there was silence of all the court during which
ladies Missed and giggled as best suited them.
There seemed to be no doubt that the
young apostle must be triumphantly acquitted.
AS between Boggs and Stubbs it was obvious
that there could be no minority with either or
both OF them. Out of two a majority was
logical impossibility.
Thus seemed matters until Mr.. Nash rose
from his seat with great dignity. Mr.. Nash first
read the canons, then Mr.. Nash proved that if no
majority of Boggs and Stubbs was attainable,
then it was quite impossible that Mr.. Tying
should have spoken at all, with the permission
of both OF them, without breaking the canons
And thus was logic demolished--the logic of
the defence.
The president Frightened and a grave smile
hickered over his venerable face Bocgs and
Stubbs smrked; Tying, senior, looked blank
and mentioned that he should argue the matter
from his own pulpit, and, with an audible
litter, the ladies made their way out of court

FINANCE AND TRADE
WOOL
BOSTON.

| The wool market has been enliyened
during the past week by the not alto
| gether unexpected appearance of sew
eral large buyers, who evidently meant
business, SAYS the Bulletin, and have OPP
Grated quite freely wherever they found
lots of staple meeting their views as to
price and quality. On this score they
experienced but little difficulty, as most
holders, ut this stage Of the season, are
anxious to realize, and willing to let the
market down to its lowest bearings
pending the process of buying up the
new clip. Hence, most OF our Leading
wool houses have made large sales dur
ing tho last few days, and transactions
for the week foot up larger aggregate
than for long time past.
The buyers now coming in represent
a number of large manufacturing cor
porations, who are carrying out their
usual policy, toward the close of the
season, 81 taking supplies of old wool
sufficient 10 bridge over to the new clip.
The wisdom of this policy ut the pres
ent time can hardly be questioned,
since the stock of desirable staple are
sold very close up, and the prospect of
an early supply OF the grades most
wanted is rather dubious. Besides, old
wool is much lighter and preferable to
new, and consumers find IL for their adj
vantage to use the former as long as it
lasts, even if compelled to pay higher
prices. 1t is not probable, however,
that any considerable quantity of the
new clip will cone upon the market at
rates lower than now ruling for the
corresponding grades of old wool.
This stocking up movement on the
part of few manufacturers, will doubt
| less be followed up by others. We
should not be surprised to see a brisk
demand for wool during the balance of
the season, and considerable competi-
ton among buyers for the few desirable
lots still remaining in the hands of
dealers. The transactions of the last
few days have entirely cleaned up the
stocks of several commission houses.
and, at the present rate of absorption,
the market here will be left bare of old
wool in the course of two or three
weeks.
The sales of the past week comprise
several large lots of Western fleece and
pulled, the latter at little reduction
| from FORMER prices, also, one OF TWO
large parcels of California new clip,
which is beginning to arrive quite free
ly, and quick of sale, being wanted as n
substitute for the medium grade of
Western. The latter is scarce, and in
demand at rates so relatively high, that
they can scarcely be maintained after
the new clip shall come forward in
quantity sufficient to equalize the as
sortment. The sale of fine fleece wool,
below the double extra g. ade, have been
in most instances, at shade lower
prices, as holders are most anxious TO
realize on this description. Fine for
eign woods are very quiet, being mostly
held above the views of buyers. The
medium grades are sold very close up,
AID coarse carpet woods are in fair sup
ply and moderate demand ut steady
prices.
Sales for the week have been very
large, and foot up about l,250,UO0 lbs,
at range of 45a55c for fleece, and 42a
SIC for the grades of pulled.

Heath refused To surrender his office tt
Mr.. Conway, the newly elected Mayer
claiming that his appointment was con
tirmed 10y Congress, and declining tt
recognize General Buchanau's authority
To remove him. He was consequently
placed in the hands Of the police by
Captain D'Russey, of the Generals
staff, and Conway put in charge of the
office. Judge Dupaulier issued writ
quo ,raITdntO upon Conway, but Captain
D'Russey said, as Conway was installed
it must take its proper course and
could not interfere with the discharge
of his duties. Upon the delivery of the
keys and books Heath was released Oh
parole. Considerable excitement pre-
walls and a strong body of police are sta
toned at the City Hall.

tlict refuses to give up his office, as il

paragraph -, imposing special tax
on cattle brokers. The paragraph re-
lating to the proprietors OF bowling al
leys and billiard rooms was amended by
making the tax twenty-five dollars in
stead Of ten. The paragraph relating
to jewellers was amended by including
in the description persons who manu-.
facture goods or wares of gold and
silver, and the paragraph relating to
manufacturers of gold and silver was
struck out. The paragraph relating to
warehouses was amended to read, pro-
prietors of United States bonded ware
houses for the storage of articles in
bond. Mr.. Schenck moved to amend
the paragraph relating to distillers by
adding the following provision : Pro-
videa, that no tax shall be imposed for
any still or other apparatus used by
druggists and chemists for the recovery
of alcohol for pharmaceutical, chemical
or scientific purposes, which has been
used in that process. The amendment
was agreed to.
The House then took recess.
