EAST FCT.K VALLEY HAILROAD. This contemplated improvement dees not seem to meet the reception by tliÖ6 immediately intereotcd that it should do. Its importance does, not teem to It understood, or if understood, certainly U not appreciated. The people of the Hast Fork Valley do not yet appear to be alive to

the opportunity now offered them, and. if they allow (Lit opportunity to slip by without taking advantage of it, (hey may nevtr aair have eo fuverabje. a proposition" made ' to them! ItVehoovea them, therefore",' to awake to their TjWn t&tercstir, and by csch of them irite.fin 'lhe;com ! parslivcly . insignificant sum Jtma tided of jhero, thus secure a speedy completion of an:tBterprUe that wiU not only doubly enhatjce the value "of their property and thus put liioney in their own pockets, but thst will "alio build up the waste placex along that stream with .iiuprovemcnta of vat importance to the counties through which the' road will pass, making the luut Fork Valley equal to any other Tulley in manufacturing 'wealth and privileges.' 'A writer in thedilcrtj IkralJ. places fon.e fads before tht .peilj : which are . worth careful consideration. We copy! "MisExuionf From your freqnent notice bf the intctests of the Kast Firrk Val leyj wo are entourage J to' addrcst you a tew, line, lelicvmg they will find tpaco tii your wide-awake puper.' Whilt our beuutiful valley has by nature maiiy advantages,' ir lubors under many disadraotuges, thnt prevent its taking rank with the West' Fork Valley. Nature his done much for botn these gieut valiies of the White Water Hiver, but men hare done more for the one than the other. , . " YcWs ago the enterprise of the citizens of tho Wext Fork completed their cunl, white the East Fork peoplo slept over a projected, but unfinished canal route. Sow l lie "West Fork people have a railroad, while the Kast Foi kers are resting quite s'anmnue ' that the timo wilt come when tbey hall have the samov liut at in the former, so will it le in the latter, unless it ahould be made jotherwiae by the persevejance Of a few tncn. Why, is it that land, ia worth more on the Other fork' of the river than on this? V hy are their improvements and towns ahead of oura? 4 Why do not large manufacturing firms seek site for the location of their mills and factories on the Kast as well aatho West Fork? " ,l llavd wo not as goad lands, as "good if not better water power rhan 'they? Then what is it makes the,. difference? The enterprise of the citizens. ' Unfortunately for Our valley we hare number of wealthy citiiens, who do not believe in improvement's, and make this as an excuse for not assisting io any enterprise that looks to the Improvement 'of K.ist, Fork- Valley. In all the?o enterprises ' it fw ' men go aheadwhile the others, for the, time being, look oh to growl, but afterward reap the lion's ahare Of advantiige.' ' f For sometime "past our people have been cinvauMtu . aii Kuft Fork railroad. There ia a great difference of opinion and action '''in reference, to this enterpri&c. Some asy they ara opposed to'tht reject artd will not help; among them are come of our wealthiest citizens. Others who are in favor of a railruud are so angum that the road will b built, that they are not willing to give. Others, and they the minority, are willing to give liberally, but we i'eiir enouglr cannot be realized to in duce the projector of the enterprixo to go ahead.;, thus we will lote tht Isat and best' offer we will ever get for a railroad up the Fsst Fork. A few men seem determined. Let us have encouraging words from your pupcr, and if the enterprise fail, it will bo alter every juHtifinble effort ha been made, and then the Hip Van' Winkles of the Kt Fork will be permitted to sleep on in their satisfied blifs. " ' ' Fast Funs. The Itichmond Trtrgram is much t xcrclued bccsue the Amrru'nn has published, from time to lime, short notices of (. W. Julian and bis meeting., mid notice' having been font to us for publication. Biookvillo American. ' Who writes the notice? ' Ha the stringency lutcly manifested in the editorial mechanism of the family journal published in this city, been causod by the heavy drafta upon it for Urookville editorui? Who know? Uichmond Telegram. The notices were copied from papers in the various counties wheru Mr Julian msdo speeches, copiea of which papers were sent u. In this County the noticcs were written by our own contributors, who were present at his meetings here. As to "stringency," can't clearly see the poiut in the reference to 'Urookil!e editorial." C. II. Ringham Kq , editor of the Ilrookville Auurlcan, was a frequent visitor at Ccntcrvillo tho past few weeks. Since the Hon. 0. W. Julian left for Washington, his visits have coaxed. The supposition is that (J. W. was availing himself of Mr. Riiham's wisdom on matters of National concern. Uichmond Telegram. Wt do not rcmombor having visited Centerville more than twice -once during the County Fair, Oct. 18th, when we did not meet with the Hon. (Jeo. W. Julian; and once during tlo week prior to that time, vtheu wo called upon him at his residence, remaining there about fifteen min utcs. The assertion that we wert a froqucnt visitor at Ccntcrvillo "the past fow weeks," don't tally with the bit. How ever, we did somewhat slightly and tailsfaotorily avail oursdf of hit wisdom on matters of national concern. ' WhUky Convention. The recent Convention of whisky men in Washington adopted a siting of resolu tions,' tilling Congress what they will take to bo honest; that is, how gret a tcmpiam a a i (ton Ihcy can, unUcr lavorabio circum stances, resist. They, think they could psy twenty five cents on a gallon under certain conditions and regulations without thcating the Government. A majority of tht participant In tht Convention art members of'firms whose distilleries eJlLer are, or have leo, under soirure, or who

owny ijiecinl lots of whisky which lave been seized.

; ' Gravel Road Law, ' ' Tho following letter from tho Attorney General txplanstory of the present lawa la force relative to plank and gravel roads, will be of gonerai interest.

Impeachment. .... In tho House, in Committee of tht Whole, on Friday, Mr. Woodward, Democratic member from Pennsylvania, made a strong legal argument on the impeachment question, takijg the same general ground as tho majority of the Impeachment Com mittee. An Addresa Issued. The few members of the Alabama Convention who refused to sign the Constitution adopted, bate issued an address) to the people, giving their reasons for the refusal, and coiling upon them to defeat the adoption of the instrument.' ' Licenses Refused in Boone County. At the recent term of the Commission1 c.rs Court of lioono County, ten application were made for license to retail whisky. Kvcry member of the Good Templars JSoVitty appeared in Court and remonstrated ogaiust the grsnting of the licenses, and the licenses were not granted. . i Destitution In tha South.

No trains are permuted to run. There is much fueling iu the matter, and the men are decidedly in earnest. - I Explosion of Guns. Saturday morning tho Great Western Gun Woiks, at Pittsburg, were destroyed by fire. A large number of loaded guns were in I lie Gun Works, which the fire soon reuched, discharging them in every direction, riddling with bullets buildings iu the vicinity.

It is - a case 'where centlemen usually ask unanimous enseut to. raake . personal explanation; but it certainly is Dot a question of privilege.' - Mr. JULIAN. Then T ask unanimous consent to make a personal 'explanation. Mr. Prctn. How long does the gentleman fleire? " - ' " Mr. Jl'ijajt. Cut a few minutte. v No objection was nude. - . ' Mr. Price. - Wi'l the gentleman from Indiana Mr. Julian permit me to ak him a question before bo proceeds with bis explanation? Mr. Julian. Certainly. . - i Mr. Prici. I would ask tht gentleman whether the extract he hua had -read was not written by one of the men profesaieg to ba loysl, who is now tcurity for Jeff. Davis, who rutve at large because he is. on his bond? Mr. Julian. I do not know as to that fact It appears in the Washington correspondence of the New York . Tribune. This is certainly a remarkable display of the freedom of tbeprens, and I must claim the right to refer to that portion of the extract which relatea to the Indiana delegation. The write; aays we voted for impeachment because we believed uthatsome future deed of the President would justify" our count. Sir, I do not speculate about the future deeds of the President. I know the past, and in tbe lis.lt of the past the Indiana delegation judged of their 1 duty and acted. That tht President will pause in his career of nialitdmiuistruliou and erime I to not for a moment believe. Hie capacity for evil stands out in frightful disproportion to his other gifts. He is a genius fa depravity, and not -merely ''an obstinate man- who means honestlv to deal with" the problem of reconstruction. His hoarded malignity sod pussian have neith er been fathomsd nor exhausted, and will not be during bis terra of omce. If I may JUUK oi ine entxi oi ine i rest acut s ibi ... . j. . .! . .w- : iiirsaa r m in ai a-ii r-aw nnii n ir nn ana on tht in flammablt temper of southern rebels, and followed swiftly by tht strong vote of this House renouncing its jurisdiction over his srimes, I csn have no hesitation in believing that a new dispensation of rapine and misrule will be the result. This will be morally and 'logically ' inevitable ; and while i respectfully commend it to the consideration of gentlemen who voted ugiintl impeachment,' I desire to say in behalf of myself aud the five of my colleagues who voted with mo that in the vote we gave wt assumed no jurisdiction whatever over acta of the l'resideut which have not yet transpired. Wt ' had neither the right nor tht disposition to do this, but1 wero governed by tht following amoug other good and sufficient reasons ' . . . Mr. Wood.' 1 rise to a question of order. ' ' ' The Speaker. The gentleman will rtate his poiut of order. Mr. Vood.: My question of.order is whether, when a geuikmsu has obtained unanimous consent to make a personal ex plauation, it it in order for him to go on and make a speech upon impoachtueut? The SfXAKER. The gentleman is very well aware that under tht rule when a gentleman obtains unanimous cnusent to make a personal explanation he Is entitled to the floor for one hour. Tho geutleman from I ndiana Mr. Julian rose, as he stated, to a question of privilege. . The Chair, after betting the ground upon which the genttemau bused his question, ruled that it was not one of piivilego. The gentleman then asked unanimous consent to make a personal explanation! aud there waa no objection. , ' Mr. Wood. to long as tht gentleman from Indiana Mr. Julian confines himself simply to a personal explanation he ia in order. Hut when ho transcends that privilege of tht Honst and goea into a discussion of tht merits of a question which the IIouho has passed upoa, theo he is not in order. N Mr. Julian. 1 am not dein;? that. , Tht Spkakku. , When tho House grunts unanimous consent to a gentle man to make a personal explanation it is very diftloult lor tha Chair to limit him. . Mr. Wood. .Then we on this aide of tht Uouso will avail ourselves of .the same privilege and discuss anything we please. The Stkakku. That ia fur the Uouso to determine, and not for tho Chair. Tht gentleman from Indians' Mr. Julian will proofed. Mr. Julian. We voted to impeach tht President be.'ause ho usurped the , power to call conventions, set up governments, aud decided the (justifications of voters,' io seven of tho Stales lately iu rebellion. ' Uecause be recognised these governments, thus unconstitutionally established by himself, ss valid civil governments, and condemned and denounced Congress for lawfully exercising the powers and per forming tht acts which he exeroised and performed, io violation of law apd pf the Coostitutioo. ' . .' ' I

.Ikcauoe ho created the office of provisional governor, as a cfvll office, which is unknown to the Constitution, and appointed .to euch oßca In' the rebel Statea notorious trsitora', well knowing them to be auch, and that they could-not enter upon thtdotieaof tht fcffict without tht crime of perjury. X - IJecaust he deliberately tfamplei ühdlf hla feet a law of Congress enacted in 18G2 prescribing an oath of office, and which law. ha (tad iwotb to execute, apd apbolnttd to offices, under the laws of the United States, men who were well known to him aa traitors, who could , not take tht oath

renailed. ...because hetefufed to .execute the. confiscation laws, and the laws against treason, and by the moat monstrous abuse of the pardouing power in innumerable1 Inatancea has made himself the powerful ally and, best friend of the conquered trsitora ofthe South'' whose unmatched crimes have thai utterly defied even the ordinary administration ot criminal justice. "Because the power of impeachment, as defined in the Constitution, clearly comprehends political offenses, "like those of which the- President ' bss been proved guilty in the caio recently' before titer House, and would otherwise bean empty ahd unmeaning mockery, leaving Congress wholly powerless to protect the nation against the most wanton acts of Kiecutivo rual-aoministratioD and lawlessncsa. ' f " Ahd because, finally., in tbe language of the majority of the Judiciary Committee, he has '.'retarded tha publio prosperity, lessened tbe public revenuesdisordered the business 'and finances of the country, encouraged insubordination in the people of tbe States recently in rebellion, fostered sentiments of hostility between different classes of citiseus,' revived and kept alive the spirit of the rebellion, humiliated the natiou, dishonored republican institutions, j ha ITnlnn and det.veJ und t.iistnnne.1 the peaceful and fraternal 1 rcorgahix.il ion of the (Jovernmcnt of the United States.' ' Sir, these arc Kotre of the reasons which - 1.1 . t . ... .... T-. J: : - . .1 - I compelled mx di iui inuiana uieanm to vote ''solidly in ile atürmative." We had no occasion-' 'to' carry our rehearches into the future iu order to find ajnific: tion for'our rites.'' And I desire to tar, sir, as emphatically'as I can,' that under' our view of the evidence and ' the law there was but' one' alternative left tu. i We rould hot allow our sense of duty, un;' der the oath we have taken to be 'swayed by any calculations as to tbe effect of impeachment upon the finances of the country or upon our own party relations, or upon the success of the Republican party next year. Neither could we pause to consider whether the impeachment would be pus. tained in tht Senate, or whether it would provoke tht President to renewed acts of violence and render him more devil-bent than before.' Vt 'had nothing' whatever Io do with considerations of this character. Sir, impeachment is not a policy, bat a solemn duty under the Constitution, which expressly provides for its performance. The New York Tribune itself says : that ' impeachment is the constitutions! safeguurd between the people and a dictatorship. To Tegsrd the Presidency as an in- J tact, independent office, responsible only to the moral influence called. Jthe people,' and to a political mob called 'a convention,' is to-tuako our ruler as absolute at tht emperor of China."' Sir, not to impeach in a case fairly requiring it. is itself ao act revolutionary and rebellious in ita character So the Indiana delegation believed, and so they acted under their sworn dutv of fidelity te tht Constitution of the United States. And having sq believed and acted, they have no apologies to make, no' man's pardon to beg, and no favera to ask in any quarter. In common with the fifty-seveu members who voted in the affirmativt, and the one hundred and eight who voted in tho negative, wt shall be judged by the people. None of us can eaeapt history," and for one I am peifecily willing to accept its final verdict. I only leg leave to say, in conclusion, that if the leading newspaper ot the country bad allowed tht peoplt to .. . j ,. , Af ,t ru III l ijwi I III lull VI un ui"jwiiijr l !! Judiciary Cotiinjtttee, the correspondent of tht Tribune would probally . havt felt less inclined tovulantcer an apology for tht Indiana delegation, which is as dishonorablt to hiuhtlf as to them. .
