IMPEACHMENT IN MINIATURE
The resolution to impeach Canal Commissioner Dorm,
which was made the special order for to-day, was
adopted by a vote OF ninety TO one A minority
report was submitted in the interest Of those OF the
canal ''ring'' who were anxious TO let down
gng in the impeachment OF democrats and
others who were formerly in the canal office.
The point was made that impeachment could not
tend to persons whose terms OF Office had expired. So
Commissioner Dorm was made at one and the same
mo the object OF democratic vengeance and the scape
goat or republican corruption The duty OF announcing
tho impeachment to the Senate Is placed In the hands
OF a committee to BIO appointed by the Speaker

THE ARCADE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD.
Senator Palmer has introduced tho bill to incorporate
promises TO constitute of the important features Of
the present session. The introduction OF tho
measure has beon delayed to this late day
under tho impression that 1t would come in
after all the other undigcsted schemes and go through
''with rush." The plan Is the most handsome and
certainly most unobjoctonable OF oil that have been
presented; but 1t impossible to dspe the doubt In
many minds that 1t Is impracticabe. In It's general
features II differs very little from that OF last winter.
