IMPEACHMENT. The course Of the Presi
dent has revived the impeachment scheme
again. Many believe that he has no intention
Of carrying out the laws of Congress if he can
defeat them indeed, it is thought that he
would deny the authority of Congress as "a
body hanging on the verge of the Govern
ment," and refuse to submit to its authority.
Many persons and number of newspapers
that have heretofore looked upon impeach-
ment as wild scheme of few individuals,
now begin to apprehend that the President
may make the step necessary. Journals that
formerly regarded the project as a mere Wis
ionary scheme now speak of it as a possibility.


Among the journals that have opposed i'm
peachment is Harpr's Weekly. 1t now says

much Of tho opposition to impeachment sprang
from the feeling that he had not deliberately
set himself to defeat the will of Congress, and
that those who opposed it until that intention
was clear would earnestly advocate it whcr

From the Chicago Times. 2eth ult.


II is already apparent that the action Of
the demagogues at Springfield, last winter,
in passing the "eight-hour law" has
brought trouble upon the railways in Hi
nois, as we'll as upon all other branches of
business. The railway companies whose
construction and repair shops are situated
in Illinois, of course cannot submit to
an addition of twenty per cent. to the
cost of operating such shops in this State,
when no such addition is made to the cost
Of railways in other States. They will not
submit 10 it. This is the fixed determina-
ton of every railway company in Illinois.


Some days ago, railway company in
the central part Of the State notified its
employees that all of them who intended TO
strike on the first of May were at liberty
to leave the service of that company i'm
mediately. The number who left upon
this notice included two-thirds of the whole
number. That company is now making
arrangements to remove its shops from llli-
nOis to Indiana.


The employees of the Illinois Central rail-
way held delegate meeting in this city
some davs since, and resolved to strike for
eight hours, to "stand by each other in the
coming struggle and so on. The plans
and purposes Of the Central company have
not been made known, and probably viii
not be in advance of their execution. But
there is no reason 10 doubt that the railway
companies will act together. The ultimate
result therefore cannot be doubtful. Either
the shysters and demagognes who have
brought this trouble ON the State will be
driven to their holes or the railway shops
will disappear from Illinois.

On the other hand, the Republicans
were denounced for their opposition
to slavery before the war, for their de-
struction of slavery by the war and
for their endeavors to secure impair
tial legislation and privileges for
white and black men alike in all parts
of the republic.


A party which thus plants itself up
on platform of negations contains
no elements that will insure it success
among free and progressive people.
A successful political party must be
broadly independent in thought and
purpose, and literally aggressive in
its action. 1t cannot afford to spend
all its strength in opposing its oppo-
nents principles, but it must strike
out independently Of them and aim at
interpreting the spirit of the age and
the purpose and temper of the peo-
pie. The American people are not
to be beguiled into the support of a
party which seeks to revolutionize the
Government and to undo all that has
been accomplished for liberty and
progress by toilSome years of war
The Democratic party can never
march to victory in this country with
their present tactics, for they cannot
enlist the people in their ranks
Their threats of "internecine war"
will not allure voters to their sup
port, and they certainly cannot fright
en- men into the Democratic party
1t will be well for these loud mouthed
advocates of a civil war for partisan
purposes to remember that the Repub-
lican party carried through the war
Of the rebellion in spite of the arm
ed resistance Of the South and the
open opposition Of a large part of
the Democratic party at the NORTH
There were notable and honorable in
dividual exceptions to this course in
the Democratic party during the war,
but it IS matter Of history that the
ruling sentiment of the party was in
violent opposition to the war, as it is
now to its results. The result of
that conflict should teach both rebels
and Democrats to be careful how they
invite and encourage another resort
to arms.-BOSton Journal.

Romantic maiden, wilt thou tell,
Is thy home on hill or dell
Shall find thy loved retreat

Or deep amid the forests gloom,
Or near the dark and silent tomb
Lovely, blushing maiden sweet,

Where winter reigns the livelong year,
See, down their sides the cascades leap,
Their yawning caverns dark and deep,
Primeval silence reigns around
And there my lonely couch is found.

And on the mount sought my retreat;
Deep in the silent forest there
He passed the night with me in prayer.

that sheep were not mentioned in the
Agricultural Report for that year. III
the winter of 1863 there were only 500
