TIIK IMPKACHMKST lUKSTION.
CONTINENTAL IIoTKI., 1'fllLADKl.PBIA, (
November 27, 18GG.
9 o Oongrest:
lyold the impeachment question more dan
gerous to the republic than the firing upon Fort
Sumter and jour now sustained position will
be supported by It lie entire pe pie. Impeach
tba President, and your power will depart like
a shadow through the Just, active hostility of
Ue President a friends, and the majority of
yCurown party opposed to an impeach neut.
I Was opposed to the policy of radical states
wen fur the freedom of the slave through the
policy pursued during the war of sword tostlli
ties, believing it only ju&t, If the war must con
tinue, to confine It to a vindication of the Union
Under the Constitution, and when conquerors
to free the slave through a universal amnesty,
jradual emancipation, remuneration policy.
The victory over the South, the lailure of the
Presldcut to secure peace when in his power,
with an unwise call of tbo 14ih of August
politician Convention, caused my opposition
to him, while, In connection, the clear vindi
cation of the favor ot the people to your
policy, led to my late advocacy, here and In
Europe, of your policy, as the only legitimate
power in America. I was actuated In this course
by a patriotic desire to do what I could to sus
tain the Government of our lathers, founded
upon the will ol the people. The people elected
President Johnson to his posit 1 in. I have, no
Idea, therefore, as an American citizen, to
calmly look on preparations for an Impeach
ment of that President, for as indispensable vio
lations of the Constitution as was necessary by
your body, now ratified by the people.
The Union exists the Constitution exists
the Republic exist?. The people elected you,
elected the President, for the purpose of protec
tion and making peace that, then, Is your duty,
not to declare States territories, but to make a
peace lu the Stater, not to impeach the Presi
dent, but to correct him, thereby, in the one
case, destroy tbe Union.deslroy the power of the
Constitution; and In the other case, secure a
renewal of the war, for while you will, and
have the right to maintain your power, so has
the President the will and right to maintain his,
as he believes.
May you have wisdom to act in a legitimate
concert with the people, rcmeniberiug that they
govern through you. Let it be admitted that
the people, in confirming your power, con
demned the President's policy but that is all
they did do. They did not declare him an un
constitutional President, nor a constitutional
usurper. The people then demand of you mode
rationto securu a peace and to avoid a bloody
conflict. The President, under your power, is
powerless yet more powerful than even youi
with the shield of the Constitution as his pro
tector. The people are not forced to protect the policy
of any President; but they must, to save the
Constitution and the republic, protect the Pre
sident, If necessary, at the point of the sword.
Whilo, therefore, the President should be op
posed in his policy, through the now declared
will of the people, yet he should be, and must
be, protected as President.
As for myself, I hereby declare my purpose,
that if the President be impeached, from that
moment I will be one ready to join that por
tion ot the people who wilt rise up to sustain
the President during his term of .office, or
until the subject be referred to the people.
Wm, Cornell Jewett.
"Honor to Whom Honor is Due,"
From the Mobile Evening Sews.
It is proper that I should, in a few words, state
that I have no personal interest in the commu
nication I oner you, and tbat my sole oolect is
to commend an actot bleuded justice and bene
volenoe wnich this day came under my obser
vation in this city.
But to the subject-matter. Prior to the break
ing out of tbe war a well-known citizen of Mo
bile had insured bis life for a series of years in
tbe Knickerbocker Life Insurance Company, of
New York, then and now having an agency in
Mobile. lie had renewed his premium from time
to time, but his last renewal expired in March,
1862, at a time when the Company had no acting
agent in Mobile, and, owing to a total absence
ot communication between the Company in New
York and the party insuring, no renewal of the
policy was made, nor any premium paid after
that date.
Some seven months thereafter, the gentleman
in question died, leaving a widow and four chil
dren similarly circumstanced with most of us
in these daysot wrecked fortunes and pecuniary
distress; but upon a recent application on the
part of the widow and guardian of tbe children
to that estimable gentleman, Erastus Lyman,
Esq., of New York, President of the Company,
and his Board of Directors, suggesting the fact
that the deceased husband and latbei (owing to
an absence of communication) could not have
renewed the policy which he had previously
renewed from year to year, and but for this fart
would doubtless have renewed again, Mr.
Lyman, on bebalt of the Company, forwarded
to the widow and guardian the original amount
of the policy (five thousand dollars), less the
premium due March, 1862.
On learning these facts I obtained acapyjof
the letter from the guardian, acknowledging re
ceipt of the funds, and hand jou the same here
with for publication. Such acts of generous
justice and Christian benevolence carry their
own reward, and need no comment, nor the pen
need not write their pratset
Mobile, October 18, 1866.
Brastus Lyman, Esq., President Knickerbocker
Lite Insurance Company, No. 161 Broadway,
New York:
My Dear Sir Your esteemed favor of the 8th
Inst., covering copy of your letter of same date
to my friend in your city, indicating tbe action
of the Knickerbocker Life Insurance Company
in the matter of the widow aud children of ,
late of this city, is received, and to simply ac
knowledge Its receipt, and commend the Board
for it action in the premises, would be doing
lees than the eratetul tears of wido w hood and
orphanage demaud at my hands.
It becomes a source of regret for me to admit
that, in the sordid age iu which we live, the
motives and principles of self-interest and of
justice to others, too seldom go hand in hand;
or, tn other words, we are too little prone to an
observance of tbat golden rule, "Do unto others
as we would they should do unto us," even in
personal intercourse between each other; but
when this divine principle is illustrated on the
part of what, in law, is termed a soulless corpo
ration, it puts to blush "man's inhumanity to
man."

TALL AND WINTER
OVERCOATS
III. GREAT VARIETY.
A Mas Eat-Kii.leb Brutal Sct-.NR
amono "the JFanct." Some time since we
were Induced tf visit a rat-match in the
northern poition Pf 0,r city, and, under
ihe Buidance of a ''knowing one" promi
nent in "porting circle, found ourselves in
front of an ordinary looking tavern, a three
story brick boue with a tall sign-pot.
On entering the bar-room there was nothing
to iblingui-h it from a hundred similar places,
except that behind the usual tumbler and
ilecanter-loaded counter running along one
side of the room there stood, not a hirsute
bar-tender, but a remarkably pretty and morti'St
lookingjoung girl. Neatly dressed and suit
ing, lane presented a strancre contiaot to the
vulgar rowdyism by which sbe was surround"d.
It was a painiul thought tbat she mint have
had long experience, young as sbe was, thus to
encounter unabashed the brutal lanaruagc and
still more brutal looks of the ruffians she served
with drink. The greater part of the company,
in the intervals between nuks, crowded around
a stove in the middle ot the room mostol theai
could be rccognlzt-d at a plane as sports, earn
biers, sharpers, and pimpaj there was ul-o a
sprinkling of students from the medical colleges,
and one or to officers from a sblp-of-war in ihe
harbor. The proprietor ol the houe,;a thick
set hDgliehmen, seemed well acquainted with
my conductor, lor hn not only furni-died tickets
tor our admission to the coming fight, but
offered to take us tip stairs to see his canine
menagerie. We accepted the offer, and climbed
up to the attic, which smelt badly enough, but
not so bad as the brir-room. Here there neemed
to be dogs of all sizes, ages, shapes, and hues.
The proprietor produced two or three pet pup
pies lor our admiration, dilated on the supe
riority of his doge, and then led us down stairs
again to the rat-pit, which was in tbe cellar,
probably lor security from the attacks of the
police.
it was a dark, dirty place: rough plank seats
rose in tiers from tne pit in the centre to the
mouldy, snail tracked walls, with hero and there
a gas-Jight sticking out in a vain attempt to
enliven the dreary den. The rat-pit Itself was
circular, about six feet in diumeter, with a fence
round It to keep the ruts from jumping out. Tbe
bottom was covered with sawdust. The seats
soon tilled, and then a bull-heaaed little man,
die6?ed in fighting trim, shorts and tights,
jumped into the ring and informed us that he
was aisappolntod in the nou-arriv.il of a cele
brated dog he expected irom New York, but in
order that we might not lose our sport, the rats
should be put Into the ring, and he would either
match a dog of his own against them, or kill
them himself, lust as we pleased. Tbe majority
of the crowd seemed delighted at this, and
howled out a request that he would kill them
himself.
A boy then brought in a large bag, and, hold
ing it oy the corners, emptied two dozen big
ship lats out ot It into the pit. pretty much tu
the style that Professor Anderson sliakes out
his egg bag. The unsightly nnimals lan ro:iud
tbe pit for a few seconds, trying to Jump over
the fence, or find some other mode of eecupe:
but, tailing in this, they collected in big black
ugly ma?es, with their little eyes shinint like
beads. The ratcatcher then jumped into the
pit, and knelt on one knee iu the middle of it.
A confederate etood outside, holding a stop
watch, and all at ouce gave the signal to besin.
Then came a hon ible spectacle. Quick as light
ning the mnn plunged his hand into tne mass of
rats, si ized one by tbe bick and carried it to hie
mouth then a squeuk and a cruuch, and the
I iteless carcase was tossed aside with a broken
nerk.
As soon as tho ruts found whul was eoing on,
and that there was no escape for then, they
attacked the man, climbing up on bis thieh,
but he was too quick to let them get higher; he
kept both hands busy, and looked us if he was a
magician, pulling a constant stream of dead
rate from his mouth, before as long as It nas
taken to tell it, the bottom of the pit wa
covered with dead bodies. One or two terrided
survivors were caught and killed, and then,
amid acclamations ot delight from the audience,
the man jumped up, felt his lip, which had ben
bitten once or twice, pul'ed the rat hairs from
between his teeth, and washed atvay the taste
vi ith a g'ass of liquor. Such a description need.
no further comment.
AN OlD UTOHX. A. r.tL.. liolneye(l
story of Wife desertion came before K.corJer
Eneu yesterday afternoon. It appears tnt
Adams Idell, who was In bushies? In Cincinnati,
became acquainted with a lady in tbat plnce,
and married her iu 1851. They lived toaeiher
happily until 1860, when they both had occa
sion to go to Canada to see some relatives of tbe
wife. On going home again she took her niece
beck with her. Idell, it appears, became
enamored of this niece, and she reciprocating
his passion, they fled away together, and the
injured wife lot sight of them until a few davs
ago, when she received word that the guilty
couple were living together in this city, bhe
followed them here, and had her husband
arrested yesterday on a charge of adultery and
desertion. The case went before Recorder
Eneu, who, after hearing the facts of the case,
held Idell in the sum Oi $1000 bail to answer.
Slap-Jacks. For the past few months
the boys and many young men around town
have been in tbe nabu ot using wnat are canea
slap-lacks. They are made ot strong elastic
cord and a piece of leather, which contain the
missile intended to be thrown by tne elasticity
of the cord. They throw stones and bullets
even with almost the force of a bullet from a
gun, and with great accuracy. They are dan
gerous weapons, and are the cause of a great
deal of mischief. Yesterday a couple of youths
wern amusing themselves with one of them In
the neighbor bood of Seventh and Zane streets.
After breaking a few windows, one of tbem sent
a stone through the window of a passenger cr
tbat was passing, and struck a lady in the face,
injuring ner severely. One of the youths,
named Matthew Cummings, was arrested, and
taken before Alderman Godbou, who held him
for a further hearing
Results of Getting ok a Spree.
James Meirill and a quondam friend of his
went on a spree logetber. xbey Dotn goi iuio
a hilarious sttfte of intoxication, ana swore
eternal lrlendchip. Their oaths were soou
broken, however, for Merrill soon after left
his friend, and struck off into pnrt? unknown,
leaving hnu to ngbt bis own way througu nis
troubles. The consequence was that the friend
lest his watch, gold chain, and pocket-book
contain in a $3. All this happened in the early
part or last week". Lni nignt Merrill wai
arrested, and on searching him the band that
had been around the stolen pocket-book
dropped out of one ot his pockets. It was n
very peculiar one. unit was ai once recognizee.
AU the rest ol the stolen property had been
sDh-Ued away to parts unknown. Merrill hud a
hearing before Alderman Hurley, who com
mitted him In de'w.il' ot sno hail.
Mean Thievhs. John Malonev, aged 13,
was arrested esterday on acharge of larceny. It
appears that Maloney is one of a ganir who are
in the habit ot intercepting the children going
to and returning Irom the public schools ai
Second and Pine streets, and emptjing thei'
pockets of whatever oi value they might con
tnin. Their operations were conducred in the
old-fashioned Schuylkill Raneer st.yle, until the
police got wind ot their proceedings, when their
operations were stopped. Maloney was arrested
at Third and line streets, and had a lienrin?
before Alderman Butler, who held him In $5.'.
bail to answer the charge of larceny.

An Accomplished Hobsk-Thief. A
proi'estional lioi.-e-thicf. nsmed .Samuel Wlrti.
was arrested yesterday on the charge of stealing
a hor.e ami wagon from a hrai in New lork
city. It appears that some time ao Wirks was
ccuvicted on tbe charge ot stealing a black
muTP irom nr. tidiar, ol weir lork. He was
sentenced to one year's impmoninent ou Biack-
weira iianu.
On the 31st of March last, he and another
prisoner, under the cover of darkness, escaped,
and fiwam across to the city. He then went to
the practice of hia trade, a a barber, in Brook
l.vn, vntil tbe bepinning of the present month,
when he went back to his old practices again.
The mifsenger of tbe tirtn ot Andrew fc
MeUonald having oct-a-ion to stop at a store at
the corner of Chambers and Onue streets, on
the 5th of thfs month, left his horse and wagon
outside, vyirks, passing along at the time,
Jumped into the wagon and drove olf.
He took the turnpike and came down to the

attention called to it, aud a number ot arren
were made of those indulging in the pernicious
amusement. Two young men were arrested it
