The charge that Republicans make the
matter of impeachment party question
is efectually disproved by. the course Of
the party In the Newly ork Assembly.
Mr.. Dora, Republican, one of the Ca
nal Commissioners, has been charged
with malfeasance in Office by $ Democratic
Asscmblyman from Kings County. AZ
ter full dclibcration the articles of i'm
peachment have been agreed upon, and
when the main question came to vote
on Thursday there was but one negative
The Republicans, by common consent,
invite the most searching investigations
At Washington the case is different. As
4 matter of party discipline the entire
Democratic force goes sqGarely against
trial. and then every man OF them cries
out that the Republicans are making it
party question. 1t would DC news to the
country if We could show any Important
question in any Legislative body that The
Democracy did not debate and adiudge
from purely partisan standpoint. -

HARTMAN ELECTED GOVERNOR
ABOUT 5000 MAJORITY

A dispatch from the Scranton Morning
Rcp"dttcan brings to US the glorious iu-
telligenee, that the gallant Hartman has
again met the Rebel enemy and routed
them horse, foot, and dragoon. His ma
jority over Sinclair is about 5000. The
vote reaches some 1900, the largest
ever polled in the State. The Rebs had
built high hopes on carrying New Hamp-
shire; indeed, had set it down as one OF
the States certain for trcachery and A j.

the Committee on Resolutions, made re
port which was adopted: That the promp
restoration of all the States to enjoymen

10 our progress and prosperity as na
ton; that the Constitution is the su

cent attempts of the Legislative branc!
to usurp the Office of the Executive an,
destroy the powers OF the Judicial brancl
of the Government are in utter violation
of its spirit; that by rigid econom.
ia every branch of public service
taxation shonld lie reduced and paymen
IF our Indebtedness be assured; that tn
Republican party is responsible for th
delay of the restoration Of the Southerl
States to their just relations in tn
Union; that the President in judging o
the constitutionality of the Tenure o
Office law was only complying with hi
oath TO defend the Constitution; that hi
pending impeachment is a gross an,
reckless abuse of partisan power
that return to specie payment at the ear

the interests of the people and the coun
try, and that the national debt should b
plId as rapidly as consistent with tn
laws upon which the loans were made
that until the government is able to re
deem legal tenders in coin, the holder

them in payment that the exemption o
government bonds from taxation is un

The wool convention, to 5e held here
on August 18th, 5th and 9th, is expected
to be one OF the most successful and bene-
fetal special enterprises of its class ever
gotten up here. It is intended to be not
merely an exhibition of various grades

about southdowns, merinos, etc., but to be
an occasion which shall bring together
wool growers and manufacturers for the
discussion Of matters Of vital interest to

acquaintance Of each other. a prominent
feature Of the exhibition will be the spec
linens of American wooden manufactures.

TIE radical journalists of this district
seem considerably concerned and slightly
exercised over the fact that c. II. Reeve
Esq. of this place was presented by his
friends as a candidate before the conven-
ton at Wanatah, for congress. And not
satisfied with heaping eplthets on general
principles upon that gentleman deem it
their privilege to misrcpresent and
falslfy his position. The charge is openly
made that in the remarks made by Mr..
Reeve before the convention, he advoca-
ted reputation. Now this is simply
an unqualified lie, and the authors of it
know it to be SO, and any and every man
1t repeats, either ignorantly or
wilfully, lie. Mr. Reeve never made a
speech in his life that favored repudia iation
or was susceptible of such construction
by any man with sense enough to go at
large.

to unqualified falsifying and downright
