BEN OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- GRAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. THE APPROACHING SESSION—THE IM- PEACHMENT PROJECT. There exists little disposition in Washington in tavor of a prolonged session of Congress at this time. In fact the desire of all members already here 1s to close the approaching meet- ing the moment the requisite explanatory re- construction legislation can be consumfiated. That is, without appreaching the consider. ation of anything else whatever. The Ju- diciary Commitiee will surely have their re. port upon the impeachment proposition ready by Wednesday next. Its members favoring impeachment will doubtless urge the reassem- bling of Congress by the Ist of November, (if not some time in October,) to consider that subject. Their success upon that point, it strikes us, will depend almost wholly upon the impression that may prevail among the ysoembers as to the probable amount of embar- Tassment the reconstruction laws are likely to meet with from the executive branch of the government. SHERIDAN. While not disposed to palliate the tone of General Sheridan's last published letter to ‘General Grant, the insubordinats temper o ‘which cannot be justified, we believe that his well-known ingenuousness of character and ardor of temperament, as well as his great Public services in Louisiana as in the fleld, will, as they should, inclineall but rebel sym- pathisers to overlook his mistake in this par- ticular. No one ever bad greater reason to feel personally aggrieved against those around the Executive Mansion who have been en- deavoring to defeat the measures he finds necessary in the work of bringivg Louisiana baek inte the Union. The publication of his dispatch concerning the New Orleans riot, so garbled as to make him an endorser of tha; most atrocious affairof wholesele murder that ever disgraced the history of acivilized people, was & stab at him which no man could be ex- pected to forget. LUMBER FOR BUILDING PURPOSES, In view of the great number of buildings being erected here, and the proposed creation by the City Councils of the office of inspector of new buildings, witha view to safety in their cusstruction, attention is being directed to the cuaracter of the material used. The vast amount ef lumber used by the Government during the war, and the demand for building Purposes since, nearly exhausted the con. siderable accumulation in dealer’s nands five or six years ago. and builders are compelled to use a great deal which has not undergone tke proper period of cearoning. Five years-is generally consumed in the preparation of lumber for building purposes; but now, 80 in- ordidate is the demand, that in many cases it goes straightway from the forest to the builder. The result, where it is used, is that the lumber shrinks and warps after being used, leading to badly-fitting windows and doors, early de- cay of beams and girders, anda consequent Settlement of the brick or stone work with Which they are connected. COL. FORNEY’S LETTLRS FROM EUROPE. No newspapér correspondence from Eurepe, heretofore published, has attracted more gen- eral attention than the series of letters from the pen of Colonel J. W. Forney, now in course of publication in the columns of the Philadel- phia Press and Washington Chronicle. They are likely to secure for Col. F. a very high reputation as a public instructor in a line of newspaper writing im which he had not pre- viously made his d-but. The admirable letters in question, while they are making the Ameri- can public thoroughly acquaintsd with the progress of liberalism in the United Kingdom, are knitting together the minds and hearts of | all on both sides of the Atlantic who believe nand cherish the fundamental principle of American liberty, viz: Tnat man was made fora nobler purpose than that of being rid- den, booted and spurred, by the mis-called “Grace of Ged.” THE PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICAN STATE ConvVENTION at Williamsburg yesterday nom- inated Henry W. Williams of Allegany, as Judge of the Supreme Court of the State on the nintd ballot, anda ‘declaration of princi- ples” endorsing the reconstruction measures of Congress and condemning the action of the administration, was reported by Hon.

It was read and o:dered to be printed. The plan proposed would ef- tect a complete revolution of the Pi dic! item of Baltimore city and the coun- ties. ‘he State is divided into eight Juaicial Circuits, with three Judges for each, except in Baltimore city, where there are to be six Judges, making twenty-seven Judges in all. Uuder the present Uonstitution there is but one Judge in each county, excepting Bailti- more city, where there are four. An election for Judges, Clerks, etc., is to take place on the first Tuesday in November next. In Baltimore City one of the Judges of the Supreme Conrt, and in the counties the Associate Judge of the Court, is to be the Judge of the Orphans’ Court of the county in which he resides. Duri: the consideration of the article reciting the Powers of the Legislature, aclause was adopt- od declaring that “the credit of the State shall mot in aXy manner be given, or loaned to or in sid of any individual.association or corpora- tion, nor shall the General Assembly have the pOwer in any mode to involve the State in the construction of works of internal improve- ment. Pending its discussion the Convention adjourned.

The Cumberland Alleganian gives the following summary of the report: The reve- nues for the year 1566 execed those of 1965, $7,112, which was much greater than any pre- ceding year. The total receipts from tolls, water rents, and houses and fines, amount to $366,846.96. The current expenses of the com- pany for the year were $231,356.37. Excess of revenues overcurrent expenses, $132,590.49. The ordinary expenses of maintenance of the canal were one-third more than those of the preceding year, owing to the continued high rates rates paid for labor and material, and to & greater amount of work done on improve- ments of the canal than hitherto. The report refers to the reduction of tolls on coal, which took effect on the firstof March, and will re- quire an increase of transportation of coal to the extent of twenty-five per cent. to realize & like amount of revenue at the for.nerrate of toll. It also states that all the floating debt of the company, amounting to $301,024.25 has been paid within the last two years with the excepton of about $10,000, due for outstanding certificates for repairs and small balances on the sunerintedencies, to parties who have not presented them for payment, which can be paid when demanded. Forall practical fiscal purposes, the floating debt of the company may be regarded as e: guished. §.20's, In.& Jy, [ee Con tnorcR’s OFFICE, CITY HALL. WashineTon, June 27th, 1857. TAX SALE—NOTICE.
