GENERALITIES.
The Senatorial Seven.

Most of the seven Republican Senators who
voted against the impeachment of Andy John
son have been singularly unfortunate. Hen
derson, of Missouri, and Van Wrinkle, of West
Virginia, have been superseded and left out in
the cold; Fowler, of Tennessee, will probably be
superseded by Andy johnson himself in the
coming Senatorial election in that State Fes-
sender, of Maine, is lying dangerously ILL.,; and
has resigned Only Trumbull, of Illinois, and
Ross, of Kansas, remain intact of all the bold
and independent seven. Such is the whirligtg
of party politics. 1t whirls men in and it whirls
them out, but still the world wags on.-N Y.

Two Thousand Gudgeons Per Day.
The police and the Marshal having failed to
get Messrs. Gumbridge & Co., alias Tunbridge ~
Co, alias Noyes & Co., with several other aliases,
into the folds of the law, Collector Bailey tried
his hand, and with apparent success. On Satur-
day Tunbridge was held by Commissioner
Shields in $1,000 bail to answer for carrying on
business wholesale and retail without Govern
ment license. The detectives who made the
arrest examined his safe and books, and his
Office in Wall street, and found conclusive proof
that his annual receipts amounted to $25, 900.
His business is selling photographs of United
States currency under pretense that they are
counterfeit, and charging avaricious country
men of doubtful integrity high price for the
same. Saturdays mail of his was seized and
found to contain over 1000 letters with remit
tances. Collector Bailey is determined to break
gagged in it pay for their privilege.-N. 7. Sum-
Speed of n Railway Train.

| Syracuse, was passed In 81 minutes Clyde, SO
miles from Syracuse, was reached in Al minutes,
where a stoppage of IL minutes was made to
| cool the journal. Leaving Clyde at 9 o'clock,
| Newark, so miles from Syracuse, was passed at
| 9'l4, 5S minutes running time; Palmyra So miles
| from Syracuse, was reached in 66 minutes run
| ming time, and Rochester, 81 miles from Syra-
| cuse, was gained in just "a minutes-on time.
| The engineer was James Wood, who once made
| the run from Rochester to Syracuse IN 100
| minutes-6 minutes more than the time given
| above. The locomotive is of the frst-cass and
