December C.-Tho impeachment aijjumeni : ttract3 but little attention. Bjutwcll's lins of argument is mainly to ?how that the Com? mittee t\ as right in its report, though tho House should refuso io impeach. He combats Wilson's position that impeachment is possible only on in? dictable off ness. The impression is that after Wilson's speech the whole matter will be tablet!. The Senatorial caucus decided to retain Forney us Secretary, and Brown as Sergeant-at-arnis. Tho revenue from spirits during tho fiscal year ending June last, was twenty-eight and a quarter million dollars. Grant's corrected estimates for the array reduces tLe sum to thirty-seven millioufc. Th9 Cabtuet session lasted until after 2 o'clock. Ul were prosent. The Custom* recipt-? from tho 2ith u thc 30th t?timo, inclusive, were $1,903,000. The Revcnuo roceipts to-d.iy amount to ?624,000. A private dispatch from Now York says that a banker ca Wall street had twenty counterfeit $1000 legal tenders shoved on him this morning. The vo:2 yesterday in tho Senate striking tho word "white" from the ui-ttrict laws and ordi? nances was strictly of a party character, indicat? ing that the late elections have had no effect on senatoral radicaliam. John S. Walton was confirmed as Treasurer ol the Branch Mint at Xow Oileans. Tho proco-idiri^s in the House to-day indicate that thero are 55 members for impeachment, and 110 against. On the Republican side of the House there is 50 majority opposed to impeachment. Longresslonul. SEN VTE.

Horace Greeley's Account of His Vcsvepa per Struggles- Kst&blishincnt of Ike Kew York Tribune-Iiis ?pit.ioii of Itcymou?'s Ability-How Success was Achieved. In his "Rocolkctions of a Busy Lire, ' Mr. Gree? ley gives it very interesting account of his early struggles a3 a journalist. Alter a sketch of the career of several short-lived political sheets with which he was connected ns editor r.r publisher, be proceeds to tell us now THE TRIHI NI: ?? AS ESTABLISHED. On the 10th day of April, 1811- a day of moat unseasonable chill, and sleet, and snow-1 issued the first number ol' the New ?ork Tribune, lt was a small sheet, for it W.IH to be retailed for a cent, and not much ol a newspaper could bo afforded for that price, oven in those spoeie-paying times. 1 had boen incited to tins enterprise by several Whig friends, who deemed a cheap daily, address? ed more especially to tho laboring class, eminently needed in our city, whore thc only two cheap jour nals then and still existing-The Sun and Thc Herald-were in decided, though unavowed, anl therefore moro effective, sympathy and affiliation with the Democratic party. Two or three had promised pecuniary a:d if it should bo needed; only one cv?r made good that promise, by loaning mo*$1000, which was duly and gratefully repaid, principal and interest. HU VIEWS ABOUT JOCBNALISM. My leading idea was the establishment of a journal removed alike lrora servile partisanship sn the one band, and from gagged, mincing neutrali? ty on the other. Parry spirit is so berco and in tolerent in this country thu*, tho editor of a non? partisan sheet is restrained from saying what he thinks and feels on the most vital, imminent top? ics; while, on tin other hand, a Democratic, Whig cr Republican journal is generally oxpeited to praise cr blame, like or dislike, eulogize or con? demn, in precise accordance with tho views and interest cf its party. I believed there was a happy medium between these extremes-a pos.iioa from which a Journalist might openly and heartily r.d vocatc thc principles and comm nd thc measures of that party to whicii bia convictions allied him, yet disse.it frankly i.om its course on a particular question, and even denounce its candidates if they were shown to bo deficient in capacity cr (far worse) in integrity, I felt that a journal thus loyal to its guiding convictions, yot ready to ex? pose and condemn unworthy conduct or incidental error on the part of men attaoned to its party, munt bc far more effective, even paity-wise, than though it might always be counted on to applaud or reprobate, bless or carse, r.s the party's preju? dices or immediate interest might seem to pre? scribe. Especially bv tuc Whigs-who were rather the loosely aggregated, mainly undisciplined oppo? nent- of a" grout part?. than, in the stricter sense-, a paiw ihemseives-d d I feel that such ajournai was consciously uccded, and should be fairly sus tamed. SLENDER CAPITAL. 1 bad been ten years in Now York was thirtv years old, in lull health and vigor, and worth, 1 presume, about $2000. half of it in printing materials, ihe Jeffersonian, and still more the Log Cabin, bail made me favorably known to many thousands of those who were most likely to take such a paper as I proposed to make the Tribune; while the Kew-Yorker bad given me ?orne literary standing and thc reputation ol a useful and well informed compiler ol election returns. In >liort, I w.iR in a bettor pj.-ition to undertake the ostab lishmont of a daily newspaper than the great mass of those who try ii and tail, us most v. ho make the venture do ana* must. I presume- thu new jour? nals (in English) since startca iii this city number no', less than one hundred, whereof barely two the Times and the World-can be fairly said to be still living: nt.a the World is a mausoleum wherein the remains o' thc Evening Star, tho American, aud the Courier and Enquirer, bc mumed; these having lor g u;: > swallowed sundry of their prede? cessors, iel several of tiioic which have mean? time lived their little hour and passed away, wero conducted by men <-\ decided ability and ripe ex? perience, and were backed by a pecuniary capital at least twenty times greater than the fearfully inadequate sum whereon 1 started th: Tribune. WHAT HE TUINES OF RAYMOND. On the intellectual Bide, my venture was not so lash as it seamed. My own fifteen years' dovotio u to newspaper-making, iu all its phases, was worth tar more than will be generally supposed; and I had already (secured a first assistant tu Mr. fienrr J. Raymond, who-baring f ir I wo yearn, while- in I eollegc :it Burlington, Vt., been u valued eonlribu- . tor to tho literary aide of I'bo 'Tew Yorker-had jj hied to tho eily directly upon graduating, late in I 1910, and gladly accepted my offer to biro him at J 53 per week until he could do better. I had not J much for him to do till the Tribuno was started; then I had enough; and 1 never found another pei?on, barely ot apo and just from II?H studlea, who evinced so much and BO versatile ability in journalism as ho did. Abler aud stronger men I mnv hove met, a clover, reviler, inert' generally of Qcient journalist. I never saw. Ho remained with me eight years, if my memory serves, and is the only assistant with whom I cv..-: f lt required ta renionstrato Cor doing more work tlian any hu? man brain ami frame could lie expected long to endure. His salary was of course gradually in? creased from timo to time; but his ftorvioos were more valuable in proportion to thr-ir cost than those of any one else who ever woricod on the Tribune. TUi: ENTERPRISE LAUNCHED. About rive hundred nantes of subscribers liad already beeen obtained for the "Tribune" before its tirst issue, wjercof I printed 5,(J0d, and nearly succeeded in giving away all of them that won'd not sell. I had type, but no presses ; and so had to biro my press-work dow; hythe "token;" my folding and mailing must bare staggered mc but for ibo circumstance that I had few papers to mail and not very many to fold. Tho hick of tho present machinery of Railroads and Expresses was i grave obstacle't > (ho circulation of my paper outside of thc city's suburbs ; but I think its paid for issues wore 2,000 at the close of t .:c first week, and that thev increased pretty steadily, at tho rato of 500 per week, tili they reached 10.000. My cur? rent expenses for tho first week were about $525 ; my receipts ?'J2 ; and, though the outgoes steadily, inevitably increased, the income increased in a still larger ratio, till it nearlv balanced tho former. But I was not mado fora publisher; indeed.no mau was over qualifiod at once to edit and to pub? lish a daily paper such aa it must be to live in these times ; and it was not until Mr. Thomas Mc Elrath- whom I had baroly known as a member of tho publishing firm over whose atore f first set type iu this city, but who was no?v a lawyer in pood standing and practice -made mc a voluntary and wholly unexpected proffer of partnership iii my still struggling but hoteful enterprise, that it might be considered fairly on its feet. A PARfNE'aSBTP. Ho offered to invest $2000 as an equivalent lo whatever I bad in thc business, and to devoto his time and energies to ita management, on the basis of perfect equuUty in ownership and in sharing tho proceeds. This ? very gladly accepted ; and from that hour my load was palpably lightened. During the ten years or over thal. The Tribune was issued by Greeley & McLlrath, my partner never once even indicated that my ant:-Slavery, anti-Hang up. Socialist, and other frequent aberrations from flic straipht and narrow path of Whip partisanship, were injurious to our common interest, though he must orien have sorclv felt tint they were f.o ; and never, except when I (raroly) drew from tho com? mon treasury more morey than could well be spared, in order to help some needy friend whom he judged beyond help, did he even look grieved at anything I did. On tin o ber hand, his business management of tho concern, though never brilliant nor specially energetic, wt.ssosafe aud judicious that it gave mc no trouble, and scarcely required of mc a thought dui'.''ir; thar long era of ali but unclouded ptospcritv. The transition from my four preccdina years of incessant pecu? niary anxiety, if rot absoluto emba i la? ment, was like crouping from the dung 'on and thc rack to freedom and sympathy. UIS LOSSES D? LNDOSSINO.
