DASSER BROS. & co. OPENED BUSI-
ID ness In Virginia City May lat, 1858, for the
purpose OF selling Clothing, Gents FURNISHING
Goods Boots, Hats, ETC., at prices TO suit them'
selves, without regard 10 the ideas OF any one
else. This determination OF ours not suiting the
celebrated Clothing Combination OF this city,
they tried to induce US TO Join In their compact;
which we would by no means agree to do, and
this refusal by Us 10 aecedc TO their proposals
brought on the famous Clothing War, lrom
which Banner Bros. i Co. came out victorious-
war not easily 10 be forgotten by the people OF
Nevada. who 40 largely prodted by It.
Finding all their efforts 10 run US out OF town
and break US up quite useless, they resortea 10
baser means 10 attain their ends. They had an
arrcement drawn up which they wanted the San
Francisco merchants to sign, by the terms OF
which they (the San Francisco merchants) werv
TO pledge themselves TO sell US no g9ods5not
even for cash--and threatened the San Francisco
merchants lin case OF their noncompliance Win
the terms submitted TO them) with the with
drawal Of the patronage OF their combination.
Here again they were doomed 70 disappointment;
but not satisfied with all the dirty work they had
attempted. they resorted TO tricks SIN dirtier; @
They offered Mr.. Frcehill ONE THOUSAND
DOLLARS, and hnally TWO THOUSAND DOL
LARS, II he would give them lease OF the
premises occupied BY US; but that gentleman re-
fused to comply with their wishes and act as
their tool to effect our ruin, and they faed again
in their effort to drive Us out Of the city, that
they might have things their own way, rs OF
yore.

cited to appear at a time hereafter to
he determined.
There is nothing new in the situa-
ton at the War Department. Mr.
Stanton still remains there and trans
acts business as usual. His authori-
ty, as Secretary, is not disputed any
where in the army, and lie WAS in
consultation with Gen Grant, on
military affairs, for some time to day.
Many prominent public men called
on him, but so far SO can be learned,
nothing of special interest occurred at
his interview with them.
The regular Cabinet meeting was
held to day, Seward, Browning, Ran
dali, McCulloch and Welles being
present. 1t is understood that the sit
uation was not considered particular
ly attractive or encouraging. The ses-
sion was a kind of meeting for mutu.
al consolation, and there was a deal
of the whistlirg to- keep courage sort
of talk. The principle question dis
cussed, with view to any action,
was whether heads of Departments
should continue to recognize Mr..
Stanton as Secretary. The difficult
ties in the way of ignoring him were
found upon investigation to be very
great. Secretary McCulloch was
strongly of opinion that the Treasury
Department, as one of the most inter-
ested, should continue to honor his
acquisitions at least for time So
far as could be learned, no conclusion
was reached.

The Secretary went in, and Mr.
Thomas a third time said his direc
instructions from the President wer'
to take possession of the office
and exercise the functions of Secre
tary ad interim.
Mr.. Stanton third time respond
ed that he would not be allowed II
do anything Of the kind, adding tha
he would do well to return to his of
fee and go about his business as Ad

Gen. Thomas said be could not de

Mr.. Stanton answered with pro

Gen. Thomas then said it was his
further duty to demand possession Of
the books and the days mail.
Mr.. Stanton made reply, "And il
is my further duty, as Secretary OF
War, to inform you that the only
hooks and mails you can touch are
such as strictly belong to the Adju-
tant General"
Gen. Thomas next suggested that
he might be obliged to issue an Or
der that Mr.. Stanton should not be
recognized as Secretary of War.
MIR. Stanton replied. 81 have al
ready ordered that you shall not be
recognized by anybody in the Depart
ment, except as Adjutant General of
the Army, and it is entirely useless
to talk further about your acting as
Secretary ad interim. Irefuse to sur
render my office to you, no matter

This ended the conversation about
official matters, and General Thomas
soon left the Department for the

THE ROLL CALL.

At its close, the roll call began on
the resolution to impeach the Presi-
dent. There was unusual quiet, but
no demonstration whatever when the
vote was announced. The call was
watched by members with some GU
riosity until several of the more Con
servatiye Republicans had voted in
the affirmative. When the character
of the result was known, only Gary,
and Stewart, of New York, among
those who have ever had any eonnec-
ton with the Republican party, voted
with the Democrats.
