The impeachment of Governor ; Reed, of Florida, was killed in the ; House last week by adopting the I minority report, by a vote of 30 to 21. In the Kansas Senate the memorial asking Congress to submit the sixteenth amendment to the various States was tabled by the casting vote of the Lieutenant Governor. The West Virginia Senate, last Saturday, by a vote of 14 to 6. concurred in the House resolution for the impeachment of Judge Nathaniel Harrison, of the Seventh . Judicial District. In the House i the political standing of the regis i tration question was made the! ‘ subject of the most profound con- j test which ever transpired in the Legislature of the State. A movement is on foot to organize a new political party in ] Virginia. The new party propos ; es to take a position between the j two parties. The proposition is not regarded with favor by the Virginia representation in Congress. It is thought by many fore- ' politicians that the move j would be a successful one, and , would redound to the best interests of the State. A remarkable clerical scandal is reported in the Philadelphia palters. The delinquent is a Catholic priest, name unknown, and the victim of his wiles, a Miss Louisa j Daber, who has suddenly and mys- ' a teriously disappeared. Rev. Mr. IJartlej*, of the Second Reformed Church, has received a letter from Miss Dal er, in which she states she is confined in the cell -of a • Catholic church, and that she is to be sent to a nunnery in Milwaukee. The affair creates much excitement in religious circles in the Quaker City. The Dilemma of Reconstruction. The New»Xork Herald thus puts the dilemma of Radical reconstruction : ‘•The Southern States were required to ,ratify the fifteenth amendment as a condition of restoration to the Union. As they could not be tru ted to come in and then ratify it, they ratified it * first and then came in. They were, therefore, not in the Union when they acted on the Constitution or else they were never out of the Union. Either, then, all the reconstruction laws of Congress are Invalid, or these Southern ratifications of the fifteenth amendment are invalid. If the States were in the Union there was no need to admit them, and if they were not in the Union they could not participate in making law for Slates that are in.” Over 80,000 acres of land changed hands in Ja*|M?r county, during 18«»9. at an average price of five uollart per ncre. Nearly one half of thia real estate wns in Car|tenlcr township, within five miles of the jail road, and was l»ought by actual ».*Uicra. Revel apells hie name Rerelle lime Lje gas elected Senator.

Decision on the Legal-Ten-der Act. On Monday the long-deferred decision of the United States Supreme Court upon the validity of the legal-tender act of ’62, was rendered. The causes before the court were argued over a year since, but the decision reserved to avoid the injurious effect it would probably have upon the paper financial policy of the party in power. With a happy facility for confirmation to the popular current, the court passed the question of the constitutionality of the legaltender act; the contracts at issue before the court having been instituted upon an undertaking for gold, made prior to the passage of the legal tender act. While the court held that these contracts are valid, it distinguishes between those made after the passage of the act, upon which questions it maintained a dignified silence, thus attempting to avoid the monetary disturbance that would be the inevitable consequence of such a decision. As individuals, municipalities, and States have taken advantage of the legal-tender act to wipe out long large amounts of indebtedness, it follows that a portion of those debts have been repudiated. And no matter what the legal status of those debts are ' to.day, the moral obligation to pay I the uttermost farthing still exists. The argument of the bondholders friends, the organs of the Radical party, should be repeated to enable creditors to receive their dues in full. When questions involving con tracts made since the passage of the legal-tender act come before the court, we shall have the decision complete. It is nothing, say the friends of the act, to pay in greenbacks a contract made in gold ; but is a terrible wrong to’pay : jn greenbacks a debt contracted in i greenbacks. This is the position ' of the Radical party. X-sT Several members of Congress have been peddling West Point cadetships from 8500 to 82000 a piece. The matter is to I be made a subject of investigation. 1 Stealing and swindling is reduced i ° •to a system; so with investiga- • tions. These committees get extra pay while attending their duties, and kindly throw the mantle of charity over the errors of brother I congressmen, on the principle that 1 one good turn deserves another. I i The way these reports are got up i to make black appear white is re duced to a science. Tlie Location of' the Capitol Blunder. That the location of the Capital on the Potomac was a blunder, 1 which even the great name of Washington can not long hide, we have long felt. That location is neither the head nor the heart of our country. We believe theCap- ' itol will be removed, but not very I soon. The West is gaining wealth I and population more rapidly than ever before, and the States beyond I the Mississippi will have at least thrice the relative strength after j the census of 1880 that they have iio the present Congress. They; lean afford to wait. Meantime the | agitation will prevent the piling up 'of costly marble and granite in I Washington to be abandoned while ■ still new, so we trust it may be persisted in and intensified. The Re- ' public's investment at Washington I City is as large as prudence wi.l ' justifies. The Fifteenth Amendment. — The Washington specials to the j Cincinnati Commercial state that j “a very prominent and thoroughly , infermed Republican Senator told a Kentuckian, this evening, the fifteenth amendment would be rat ified and officially promulgated within twenty days, and advised an immediate organization of the negroes in Lexington, Kentucky, with a view of a sweeping Republican triumph in that city, at the ■ 1 municipal election to be held on the first Saturday in March. Im- ' mediately after the promulgation of the amendment, there will be passed, he believes, an act providing severe jmins and penalties on , all who interfere with or prevent > the exercise of the right of fqmC chise of those upon whom it is r conferred by the fifteenth amend , ment?*— Sentinel*. week there was a severe I st*>riu in Warren and Benton eown- • Uee Huums ami trees “Were • blown down nu<| nutnlten- of horses . and cattle injuretL

Tbe Cincinnati, Richmond & Fort Wayne Railroad Correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazette. Richmond, Ind., February 3. ' The Board of Directors of the Cincinnati, ' Richmond A Fort Wayne Railroad having practically Abandoned the project of raising sufficient money by taxation to complete the road, the field is now open to outside parties. I undersftwltlmt the C., H. <fe D. Company have - under consideration o' proposition to connect the Fort Wayne road with their Richmond branch, and make it a through line to Fort Wayne and Chicago. In order to give your people some idea of the advantages Cincinnati would reap from such an arrangement. I propose to give you a brief sketch ot the country through which the road will pass, and the ■ bearings of its trade. This city, which is now the northern terminus of this branch of the Cincinnati, Hamilton A Dayton, is a city of from 16,000 to 18,000 in- ■ habitants. It is the most important manufacturing point in the State. It is surroundedby as fine a farming district as can be found anywhere, and suburban villages enough to swell the population to something like fifty thousand. To give you some idea of what Cincinnati is losing at this point alone, it is sufficient to state that the exports the past year, from this city to Cincinnati, only amonnted to a little more than half of what they were in 1854. And while this falling off of trade with Cincinnati has taken place Riclt mond has doubled its population and quadrupled its business. I doubt not that other leading points on the proposed Fort Wayne road would show even gi eater changes comparatively in the current trade than this. Winchester, the county seat ot Randolph county and the largest town on the line of the road between Richmond and Ft. Wayne, has a population of from 3,000 to 4,000. It is situated on the Belle fontainc Railroad, to which it now contributes tbe bulk of its important trade. Our Ft. Wayne road crosses the Bellefontaine at right angtes at this point, and when completed will turn the drift of trade and travel of this section toward the South, and restore to Cincinnati her former prestige with the merchants and farmers of Randolph county. At Ridgeville, a thriving village of 1,500 inhabitants, the Ft. Wayne road crosses the Chicago branch of the C. C. L AI. C. It commands the part of the trade of the Upper Mississinewah Valley, and contributes its pork, cereals and lumber to Chicago and Cleveland, for the want of an outlet to a Southern market. Portland, the county scat of Jay county, is on the line of this road. The improved lands of this county are well timbered with the several v&rities of oak, hickory, ash, walnut, Ac., and the county is well watered by theSaWmonie and Wabash rivers and their tributaries. There is no railroad passing through the county except the C. C. &I. C. R. R., which passes across the southwest corner. There is no railroad north or cast of this county within forty miles, leaving a large scope of country which will be tributary to this road alone. The county is rapidly increasing in population and wealth, and it is confidently believe both would double in a very few years if furnished with a railroad... Next we come to Decatur, the county seat of Adams county, which, like Jay, embraces a large body- of arable land. Her products, now considerable, will, in a few years, be equal to those of our best developed counties. At present her only outlet is Pittsburg, Ft Wayne A Chicago road, and even this passes at an inconvenient distance. Fort Wayne the northern terminus, is the second city in the State as a railroad center. Its population is estimated at 30 000, and rapidly increasing, the surrounding coun j try, though rich, not being half developed. The Pittsburg. Fort Wayne A Chicago and Toledo. Wabash A Western cross at this point, and sweep its immense grain I and timber trade East, North and West, while Cincinnati once and naturally her principal market, is now scarcely known to her trades I men as such. The completion of the Cincinnati,. Richmond A Fort Wayne road will at onge turn a large part ot trade-diack into its old channel, t nd not only this, but 1 t also that beyond Ft. Wayne, which ; 1 will be carried down on the Fort; i Wayne A Jackson road from the j richest fields of Michigan. Os the I great value of the Michigan lum tier trade, 1 need hardly speak, ss ! , it is well known to be the most im- • portant in this country. Last year I on the eastern shore alone, to i which this road will give direct access byway of Saginaw, there were I manufactuaed 736,541,700 feet of lumber in boards, and 243,820,000 | ■ feel in shingles. These are but' two items, enough, however to give some idea of the lumber trade ‘ .of this region. Besides the lumber, there Is an 1 inqHirtant salt trade nt' k Saginaw, I . which has hitherto l»een inono|M> I

lized by New York, whence it has gone second-handed to Baltimore and the Southern markets, to which it should have gone—and will go when the Fort Wayne road is completed, by a direct route. But a still more important feeder for our Fort Wayne road will be tbe Grand Rapids line, which leads directly north through the heart of Michigan and the richest pine re gions in the world, making Mackinaw its northern terminus. This road will be the only southern outlet for Grand Rapids, which is already one of the leading commercial and manufacturing cities of the State. The importance of this direct communication with the Michigan pineries is inestimable to the manufacturing interests of Cincinnati and Baltimore. As a through route to Chicago the Cincinnati, Richmond A Fort Wayne road will be from thirtyeight to forty miles shorter than the route byway of Lima and Fort Wayne, from twenty to twenty-five miles shorter than that by Way of the W. W. Valley road, and only eight miles longer than the old Cincinnati & Chicago air line. D. S. .ii.- liM » I —— State Items. In Evansville hay sells at twenty dollars per ton.

According to our devil, the most prevalent disease is obstetrics—and, although the disease amounts to almost an epidemic, it adds to instead of diminishing the population.— Boone County Pioneer. • Tbe lew Fuddlug Bill The funding bill reported by the Senate Finance Committee contains some good features. The decrease of the rates of in terest upon the public debt will diminish taxation, and to that extent the bill can be condemned. But with the good is mixed up the evil. The bill provides for an increase of the capital of the national banks of 8100,000,000, and the withdrawal of that amount of greenbacks—in other words, substitute; ing 8100,000,000 of gold interest- ; paying bonds for the same amount . of securities that draw no interest. , That is another specimen of Radical financiering A Lillie Story with a Big Moral. A thirsty but honest countryman walked into a barroom in Cortland street the other day and calleci for a glass of ale. Having swallowed the refreshing beverage with inward satisfaction, he laid five cents on the counter, and was preceding on his wsy, when the barkeeper stopped him, and blandly intiinted that the price of a glass of ale was ten cents. “What, ten cents for a glass of ale? exclaimed the worthey old Jerseyman, wqth a look of indignant surprise; and then, while he brought from a bulkey pocketbook the required currency, his' countenance settled into an ex | pression of mournful resignation as he plaintively continued : “Ten cents a glass for ale, he ? Well, if I bad ever suspected tliat, I'd have took whisky!” Considering our betrayal of Cm;ba and submission to Spain, and I considering the extravagant ex--1 {icnditiires proposed by the present Administration, a great many Rc- ' publicans who voted for General 1 i Grant arc thinking that if they had ever suspected how much that em ; inent champion of .American ncu--1 trality was going to humiliate and ito cost the country, they would ' I rather have taken—well, almost anybody else than the individual whom they elected President, uuj der the most stringent promise of , a truly American policy abroad, i and an honest and economical ad I ministration of the Government at home.—.Ve»r York San.

Irritable Invalids. Indigestion not only effects the physical health but the dispositions and tempers of its victims. The dyspeptic becomes, too, in a measure demoralized by his sufferings. He is subject to fits of irritation, sullenness, or despair, as the case may be. A perternatural sensitiveness which he cannot control, leads him to misconstrue the words and acts of those around him, and his intercourse even with those nearest and dearest to him is not unfrequently marked by exhibitions of testiness foreign to his real nature. These arc the mental phenomena of the disease, for which the invalid cannot be held justly accountable, but they occasion much household discomfort. It is to the interest of the home circle, it is essential to family harmony as well as to the rescue of the principal sufferer from a state not far removed from incipient insanity, that these symptoms of mental disturbance be promptly removed. This can only be done by removing their physical cause, a ment of the functions of the stomach and its allied viscera, the liver and the bowels. Upon these three important organs Hostetter's Stomach Bitters act simultaneously, producing a thorough and salutary change in their condition The vegetable ingredients of which the preparation is composed arc of a renovating, regulating and alterative character and the stimulant which lends activity to their remedial virtues is the purest.aiid best that can be extracted from the most wholesome of all cereals, viz: sound rye. No dyspeptic can take this genial restorative for a single week without experiencing u notable improvement in his general health. Not only will his bodily sufferings abate from day to day, but his mind will recover rapidly from its restlessness and irritability, and this happy change will manifest i’sclf in his demeanor to all around him.
