WASHINGTON.

Affairs in our village are jogging along as usual. The Sunday school has passed it's annual reorganization, and Rev. Angus tus Smith is Superintendent with Deacon Stephen s. Baldwin, Assistant. A Con. vention of all persons interested in Sun. day Schools will be held here some time in the month of June.
 MT. F. W. Gum commences his schoo this week with as many scholars as he can accomodate. As Mir. G. was returning from New Milford, the other day, he spied g fox on the opposite side of the Shepaug river, and drawing out his trusty Maynard, let fly and dropped him. With old Whitey he crossed the stream to get Reynard, com. ing to shore, himself in one place, and the horse in another. Pretty we'll considering the violent attack of measles from which he had just recovered.
 There has been a great deal of blast ing and digging on Bsinsmade Avenue for week past. A young man in passing the other night received quite an injury from falling over the Instructions.

GOSHEN.

While in the store at West Goshen, May 18th, I incidentally learned that there was still large supply of that staple article called cheese. Notwithstanding the mer- chants have been steadily forwarding it to market, during the winter and Spring months, it still stands in the way of new cheese. Four hundred had been sent away that morning, 1000 were in the store room boxed and awaiting orders, and thousands Of pounds are still held by dairy men, who express themselves ready to sell as it is not pleasant to look old cheeses in the face when new ones are accommodating. There is no fixed price for cheese: they are sent to market and sold and the owners receive the price ranging from to 12 cts per lb. accor- ding to quality. There is no call for new cheese at present. Last year the first order was filled, May 9th.
 Butter is selling at 40 cents per pound. Potatoes are scarce, and there is still greater scarcity of beeves and beef-steak; but Mir. Lawton furnishes us with good veal, and never sells steak out from the neck without telling his customers of it. MT. Soudant is constantly in receipt of good things from the sea.
 Fortunately I have no serious accidents to report, though the escapes have been rather remarkable. Two little girls, three years old, twin children of D. Wickwire, were at play in a meadow near the street, and climbing up an old wall, it fell, with one of the children head down wards among the stones, large one fall ing upon her. The screams of the children soon brought the mother to the spot, but her strength was insufficient to remove SC large stone. A gentleman passing, jump. ed from his wagon, ran and extricated the child, who is reported as not seriously in- jured. MT. M. Pratt was few days since thrown from his wagon in consequence ol the breaking of the seat. The wagon was large one, drawn by two horses and heay- fly loaded with sand. It passed over one leg and foot. and though the young man winced some at the time, and was lame fol @ few days, no bones were broken

TO FARMERS OF NEW ENGLAND

The subscribers call your attention to a new Fertilizer prepared by the Lodi Manufacturing Co.,, made from Night Soil, Blood. Bones and Offal of New York City, called
 DOUBLE REFINED POUDRETTE. which is an entirely different article from the common Poudlette made in former years. It is double the strength of the old kind, fine as flour, free from coarse impurities, and is as strong and effective as any superphosPhate in market although sold for only twenty five dol lars per ton.
 This article has only been used one season, but it's effects have astonished every oue who have tried it, and the company confidently as- sert that used in quantities half as large as was formerly used of the common Poudrette, that it will not only double the crop, but ripen it from ten days to two weeks earlier.
 This makes it by far the cheapest and most preferable manure ill market.

IITCHFIELD.

On Monday the slips in the Episcopal and Congregational Churches were sold at public auction. The former realized $1222. and the sale of seats remaining, will probably increase the amount about $50; the latter obtain $1, 800, and the whole amount will probably reach $1 1850.
 We wish this custom was dis continued. The public sale of the right to hear the gospel, like the public sale of Southern negroes and of Northern paupers, seems to us a relic of barbarism. As the matter now stands. scarcely any family will regularly attend a church where they have not purchased seats. Hence many whose attendance is most to be desired, from poverty, or from default of the heads of families, are prac- tlcally driven away, while none are iauited. We see from our exchanges, that the Free Church system has been adopted by many parishes in this State during the past year.
 We notice with pleasure that the pub hcation of manuscript reports from Epis- copal ministers sent to this county before the Revolution by the English Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, is to be continued. The Rev. Mir. Perry, of this place, who, jointly with the late Dr. Hawks, edited a portion of the same, has been authorized by the House of Bishops to finish the work. It is one of much general as we'll as denomina- tional interest
 On Monday telegraphic dispatch appeared in the N. Y. Times, stating that Americans had been shot at by supporters of Salnave, and that Mir. Hollister had sent for Government vessel from Havana, and to Jamaica for British gun-boat, which had gone to his assistance. We hear that the insurgents are headed by officers for merly in our service, which may account for Salnave's hostility. We cannot believe. however, that he would permit any insult or injury to foreign minister. Before a Haytien Senate, such performance might injure Haytien President.
 The people in East Litchfield have raised by contributions of money, material and labor, about $65O towards the erection of church at the Station. About $1,OOO more is needed, and paper is in circula- tion, here, for assistance. Three individ- uals have subscribed $13O.

The Legislature.

We are glad to notice that business is progressing with unusual rapidity before the Legislature. The Senatorial question is finally settled in favor of Gov. Bucking- ham. The canvass was lively. but without the bitter feelings sometimes engendered. To the excellent law of Congress which ne cessitates speedy action, is due the fact that this most interesting question of the session has been settled so satisfactorily, and with so little delay of regular busi. ness. In this connection we would call at tention to the manly course of MT: W. W. Eaton in the debate, which we give in an. other column. He rightly discriminates between the requiring of an open vote from the representative and from the cleo. tor. Although the strictest of constitu tional constructionists, he makes no at tempt to pettifog away such plain provis ions of the United States Constitution as the following:-
 Sec. 4. The times places and manner of holding eleceons of senators and representatives, shall be f,,t si M o"on e'aCo, " tne legislatlon thereof put the congress may at any time by la,c make o, dtter such regulations, except as to the places o choosing senators. W.,
 The folly of anew and interminable hear ing of the Bridge question before commit tee is like to be avoided; the demand fo, free school system is favorably received and the subject of taxation, one of grea, importance, seems likely to meet an earl, and thorough discussion. The Derby ant Fishkill, and Fishkill and Springfield rail roads will no doubt get the franchises the, ask in Connecticut. without opposition.

Impeachment.

Mr. Johnson has been acquitted by $ vote of 35 to 19 on the 11th article, and vii no doubt be acquitted on all. His friends are rejoicing and firing salutes over what they seem to consider victory, We de not think any of his predecessors would have thought an acquittal on a charge o high crimes and misdemeanors, by single vote in Senate of fifty four, matter o rejoicing; but for MT. Johnson it cer tainly is great victory.
 We do not pretend to feel satisfied with the result. We consider the verdict against evidence, and the precedent an evil one. Still we could hardly have preferred con- viction by one vote, to an acquittal by one vote. Such an outside pressure has been brought to bear, ,on both sides, upon doubt full Senators, that neither acquittal or con- viction on such votes as that of MT. Ross of Kansas can carry any moral weight We re- gret and condemn the conduct of many of our own party in this regard. Their misconduct has been more open and noisy than that of our opponents-it certainly has not been so effective.
 But if the Senate has much ground to complain of the conduct of the public, the public has grave reason to complain of the conduct of the Senate. A law was pas sed by a two thirds vote of that body re- stricting to the utmost the Presidents ap- pointing power. He was warned by an express provision that a violation of that law should be ''high misdemeanor. New ertheless, MT. Johnson openly defied this enactment, and did that which by repeated resolutions the Senate declared violation thereof. In favor of these resolutions are recorded the names of most of those Republi- cans who voted for acquittal. That those gentlemen had right to mod ify their opinions we cannot deny; but our Representatives in Congress have a right to say that it is this vacillation, and and not their action, that has cost the country millions, in the expense and the delays of a protracted trial besides it's in- eyitable dangers and settlements. We would like to believe, with many of our Radical contemporaries, that the Republi- can vote for acquittal is, throughout, tri- umph altogether lovely of the judicial once the partisan instinct. Unfortunately the facts will support no such theory. With MT. Fowler of Tennessee, noisy impeacher, out of season, converted into an acquittal, in season; with MT. Ross of Kansas. carrying out his openly expressed intention of Friday night of voting for conviction, by voting for acquittal on Saturday, the moral hypothe- sis fails. That there has been some Sena- torial conduct precisely like that of the s doubtful" voter parading his uncertainty on election days, affords the only palliation for much that appeared in the editorial columns of the Tribune during the days immediately preceding the final vote. In acquiting the prisoner, some of his judges have, beyond rperadventure, convicted themselves.
