that it would be dangerous to the public interest

adjourn and abdicate its practical control over 
thejadministrutiuu of the government, by sur¬ 
rendering its destinies in the present critical 
condition of affairs into the hands of those thus 
impeached before the nation, aud well known to 
be not only hostile to the policy of Congress, 
but to entertain the opinion that all the acts of 
this Congress looking to the restoration of the

solving on an adjournment from to-morrow at

if there be no quorum present in both houses, 
they shall adjourn from day to day for five days,

An Important Acquisition. 
On Saturday, the 30th ult., the President 
communicated to the Senate the fact that a 
treatybad been negotiated with Russia, by which 
for the consideration of $7,000,000, that Govern¬ 
ment eedcB to the United States all the country 
known as Russian America, together with the 
adjacent islands. Theterritory ceded comprises 
the whole of the continent of North America west 
of longitude 141 degrees. It is bounded by Brit¬ 
ish America and the Pacific and Arctic oceans. 
The area is about 400,000 square miles, or nearly 
nine times as. large as tbe State of New York. 
The arrangements for this important acquisi¬ 
tion of territory by the United States have been 
conducted bo Becretly that even the reporters 
and correspondents nt the Capital arc taken by 
surprise. Sir Frederick Bruec, who represents 
tbe English Government at Washington, has 
telegraphed to Earl Derby for instructions to 
protest against the ratification of tbe treaty by 
our Government. The country ceded is valuable 
for the fur trade, besides including naval sta¬ 
tions and fishing grounds of great importance. 
It is regarded as significant of Russian policy 
in view of impending European complications 
on the Eastern question. Russia codes her Amer¬ 
ican territory for the same reason that induced 
France to sell Louisiana. In the event of a war, 
Russia would probably lose this territory, und by 
parting with it the Czar secures the friendship 
ol our Government.

Business in New York and Boston continues rather 
dull. The floods at the West, the stagnation lu business 
industries at the East, and the general depression at tbe 
South, have bad a tendency to check bus!ness. Tlie 
Journal of Commerce says “tlie last few days have 
brought In more of nearby custom, and a week’s pleas¬ 
ant weather would do more for the trade than the most 
skillful system of drumming.” The papers and dealers 
who visit New York, report an absence of the rush and 
excitement that formerly existed at this season of the 
year. Tlie Bostoa Commercial Bulletin saysBuyers 
haveheldoff with unusual persistency thus far, thinking, 
probably, that something might be gained, aart that no¬ 
thing could be lost be uehiylng to take their usual sup¬ 
plies of goods.”

How to Collect C. S. 7.30 Bonds. 
Farmers arc said to be large holders of U. S. 
seven-thirty bonds, one series of which are for 
redemption in August of this year. The Rural 
and other papers, recently informed ns that Gov¬ 
ernment would, up to March 31, pay the express 
charges both ways on these bonds sent to Wash¬ 
ington for conversion into five-twenties. Since 
thou 1 have read a circular from tho Treasury- 
Department, Washington, saying that Govcrn- 
ineut will pay express charges till May t. Now 
farmers can send on their bonds to Washington, 
D. C., tor conversion, themselves, without incur¬ 
ring any expense of brokers’ commissions, or oth¬ 
erwise— as I have proved by successful experi¬ 
ment—by observing the following directions:
