With another week of uncommonly fine June
weather. corn and other farm products are
growing rapidly. Still, clay soils are far from
having dried out so as to pulverize. In many
gardens some kinds of seeds have only been
planted within few days. Potatoes have rot
ted extensively. and replanting is going on even
now. Wherever land has been drained, the ad-
vantages are so apparent that the result of this
uncommonly wet Spring will be the buying Of
large quantities of tile. Whoever can should
make it point by this means to fit his ground
for withstandng the extreme Of wet and dry
weather In the West, and through the Ter
xitories to the Pacific shore, farmers are highly
encouraged. In the South the prospects are
favorable for full crops, while greater variety
of productions will be harvested than ever be-
fore grown upon that soil. From England and
the Continent we have cheering accounts; and.
on the whole, we may safely predict that the
civilized world will have full supply of bread
stuffs. OF course, there are sections whence
come adverse reports. but these are so linz

The House OF REPRESENTATIVES AND
IMPEAcHMENT.-It has been stated that
the House will be unable to proceed with
any legislative business whilst the trial is
in progress. This may be, but is not
necessarily so. In the trial of Judge
Peck, which is referred to for precedent,
the House, at the commencement of the
trial, daily went into Committee of the
Whole, and proceeded to the Senate
chamber. After some days, however, this
practice was abandoned, and not resumed
until all the evidence had been received
and the argument of counsel commenced.

GOSSIP ABOUT Washing
ton, February 25.-Those who rushed the
project through with such hot and indie
cent haste are now giving themselves time
to breathe, aud are now coming to the
conclusion that it is not so "big thing
as it looked in the beginning. Some OF
the eover-enthusiastic friends of Mr.. Wade
were offering bets last night that he would
bold his first levee in the White House two
weeks hence, but to-day they are singing
another tune, and asseverate that impeach-
ment is very slow process, and that in q
case of such magnitude as the present it
will not do to be in too great hurry.
Whispers are flying about the Radical
camp that the Chief Justice cannot be
relied upon in this emergency to promote
the party ends. It is we'll known that the
friends of Mr.. Chase feel much chagrined
at the turn events have taken the last few
months, the result of which has been the
complete overshadowing Of their favorite
by General Grant, and it is surmised that
they feel little revengeful towards the
Grant men.


However this may be, it is felt quite
sure that the Chief Justice will insist upon
strict adherence to all proper forms in
the great trial over which he will now be
called to preside, and that proper delibe-
ration shall mark all its proceedings. In
addition to all this is the fact that Mr..
Wade, who hopes to succeed to Presi-
dental honors, is cordially detested by
several of his associates in the Senate,
and opposed by several others on the
ground that he lacks the craftsmanship
essential at this critical period in the
party's history, and that one result of his
occupancy Of the White House would pro-
badly be the defeat Of the party next fall.

WHEN WILL THE TRIAL COMMENCE p
The answer to this question depends on
the will of the Senate. The next step to
be taken is the presentation by the House
of the articles of impeachment. 1t is ex-
pected that these will be reported on
Thursday, and as the only question con-
nected with them will be one of form, the
fact of impeachment being already ordered,
no great delay is expected. Probably,
therefore, the articles Of impeachment will
be presented to the Senate on Saturday by
the managers chosen by the House. The
Senate has then to issue summons to the
President, fixing the day returnable, which
will be the day Oh which the trial will
commence. Though there is no absolute
law or rule in the case, it is thought, on
the strength Of the precedents, that the
Senate will make the summons returna-
BILE in ten days from its issue. This will
bring the opening of the trial to Monday
or Tuesday week. Some, however, pre-
dict greater delay. The time occupied
by the trial will also be within the control
of the Senate. The evidence, it is antici-
pated, will be but small part of the case.
The facts on which the charges will rest
are all conceded, and the testimony will
consist chiefly of certified copies of the
several documents relating to the removal
of Secretary Stanton and the appointment
of General Thomas. The pressure to take
testimony on subjects outside of this mat
ter will be resisted by the managers, who
will control the case on the part of the
House. The great feature of the trial will
be the argument of the points of law
involved in the case, and the ablest constl-
tutional lawyers of the country will be
heard in behalf of both the prosecution
and the defence.


1t may be predicted, as far as the Senate
is concerned, there will be no unnecessary
delay and no unseemly haste in the pro-
gress of the trial. That body will act de-
liberately and with the decorum due to
the importance of the trial, but will give
no countenance to any subterfuges to delay
action. The idea that Chief Justice Chase
will, on the plea of prior engagements, en-
deavor to obstruct the commencement OF
the trial, is secuted on all hands. Such
action would be opposed to the Judges
characteristics, and only find believers
among Mr.. Johnson's friends. When the
Senate fixes the day he will be prepared
to take the place assigned him by the Con-
stitution.


AS an evidence that the Chief Justice is
already preparing for the duties imposed
upon him, the fact may be cited that he.

The Southern people are informed to-

placement Of General Blair and the sub

General Blair was nominated in defer
ence to the opinions and wishes OF the
Southern wing of the Democratic party.
The only issue in which the South is in
terested is the right OF wrong of reconstruc-
ton. Blair had declared that the State
Governments organized under Congress

reflected Southern opinion. He was nomi-
mated as the embodiment of that opinion

struction and scout the authority Of Con-
gress. .....


In letter to Jefferson Davis, Just before
the war, Frank Pierce used the following
language:


And if through the madness of Northern
Abolitionists that dire calamity (war) must

rial assistance which they received from

For the past ten years the Democratic
press of the North and Democratic orators
in and out of Congress have urged their
brethren in the South to be firm and
patient, to oppose reconstruction, for day
Of deliverence was nigh at hand. Northern
Democracy would never stand by and see
