Ex-Fresident James IUx-haxa died at his home, Wheatland, near Lancaster, ou un Moulaj' morning last. For several vrefks past the venerable deceased has beet in a very feeble state of health, w h:ch add ed to Lis advanced age, left but little rea eon to hope that hid life would le much longer protra-.ted. Mr. Buchanan wab born In Fronklin county on the 22d of April, 1701, and hence was in his 73;h year at the time of his death, lie baa been hi public life almost constantly since the age tweuty-tliree, at which time he was elected a member of the Legislature. Franklin Fierce and Millard Filmore are the only burviving Ex-Presidents since the removal by death of Mr. Buchanan. The Cutl of Iuiyeatliuieut. It wHl be remembered that on the TGth cf Nay the Senate, sitting as a High Court of Impeachment, voted on the eleventh article, und acqaitted the Pretideut by one vote. TLe Court then adjourned until Tuesday, 26h ult. In the meantime the diacomStted and crett falluu Radicals had met in Oouveu tiu at Chicago and nominated their candi dates for President and Vice President. Al though that Convention did not pass any formal resolution of censure against the seven Republican Senator who had votod for the fttfquUtal of the President, although it did not expel them from the Radical fold, as was demanded at their hands, nevertheless it en dorsed the impeachment movement. Meet ings were held in vaiioiw portions of the eouutry by the Liyul League and kindred associations, denouncing the seven unregou erate Senators charging thera T.ilh orihery and corruption, and demanding their politi cal execution. Ou the day after the Preoi deyt'd acquittal on the eleventh article the ll.ulu'al Rump adopted a resolution author izing the Impeachment Mancgers to invetti gate the cha.gfe that corrupt means had brcii Used in procuring the verdict of acquittal It y the vote of the Souate. Thin hiveatigatiou has been going on ever siuc, ucder the lead ership cf that incanctt and most infamous of all our pul'lic men, Bei.jamiu F. Butler, whose very name is a stench in the nostrils of the people. So far as tho developments of Butkr'b committee have l-etn made pub lic, they do not implicate any of the seveu Senetors who could not be frightened into a mrreuder of their conscience by Radical threats and alusv; hut, on the contrary, tney make out a btrong case cf guilt against at lu.tst one Ihi.Iu-al Senator, who, It seems, wis willing to sell Limsj'.f Lr a concidera t:on. The invtetigation, therefore, in likely to prove an Australian boomerang in the hcuds of "bodied vp" I'utler, and may in the end turn round and plagued its inventors. Yhcu tho Striate n.et again as a Court, on tha 26;h of May, the Radicals indulged a strong hope that a vote for conviction rnijiht be had on the second article, which was con sidered to be as formidable as tho eleventh. It was thought. to, by the more sanguine, that Kos.? of Kiuoas would reverse hi vote for acquittal on the 16th, and would now voe for conviction, thus securing the talis mauic number thirty-six. It was the last expiring effort of a eet of desperate and wic ied men to concentrate all the power of the jjovernnicut.in their own hands. With them, as with a losing player, it was the last throw if th? dice and they lost T The vote on the second article tood 85 for conviction and 10 fr acquittal the same aa on the eleventh or'.icle. A vote was then taken cn the third article, and the vote was precisely the same 85 to 19. A motion was then made and carried that the Court adjourn sine die, or, as a wag expressed it, "until the day of judgment." And thus ended this great and stupendous farce. The meets of the Radi cal party in the coming Presidential cam paign wa fctakc-d on the issue of impeach ment. It was so proclaimed by its leaders, ad the people will not be slow in recording their verdict. The acquittal of the President is perhaps duo to Ciiief Jnstice Chase more than to any ether man; not that he did ay thing wrorjg, or that his course is not fully appro red by the leading members of the Bar throughout the country. Ilia bearing was dignified dur ing the whole trial, while his fairness and impartiality bespoke the unprejudiced and fearless Judge. None of the originators of this procoediug have won any laurels, but rather dishonor and disgrace. It was & shameless proceeding from its commence ment to its clone partisan and vindictive in all its aspects and surroundings. Iu his con" nection with tr from its inception to its ter mination, Benjamin F. Butler has sounded the fietk. arJd shoals of political and moral Jcfapy, while SUJveuo, .uauaBt and ven, CUtoUS a6 he 13 Stand dishonored and re buked by the verdict of the Senate. No o:ie but a bigoted Radical doubts that the evea Republican Senators who voted for the Pres ident's acquittal were actuated by pure and conscientious motives. They sacrificed their party devotion to the cause of justice, the law and the evidence. They will fce slan dered and abused, for such is the fate of all who, in a great crisisjike the one through which the country has jtust passed, have the moral courage to break the chains of party subserviency. In better days and by other men the purity of their motives will be vindicated. STiKTOX. One of the most gratifying results of the acquittal of the Preisdent is the retirement of Stanten from the War Office. On th evening of the tame day cn which the iai pcachmeut bubble collapsed in the Senate, he addressed a letter to the President inform ing him that he had relinquished charge of the Yar Department. There has been some tLing intfSbly base in the mauner in which Stanton has retained his position as a Cabi net officer. We doubt if there could be found another man iu the Fitted States, Ban. Butler excepted, who would imitate SUntuu's example. More than a year ago he very well knew that his presonco in the Cabinet was distatcful to the President, and that his resignation would be most accepta ble. During the debate in the Senate ou the civil tcuure bill Sherman of O'Ao, as well us other Radical Senators, gave him to un derhand that they entertained a supreme contempt for a Cabinet Minister who could so far compromise his self respect as to re tain his office against the well known wishes of the Pretidsut. But Stanton was immova ble, lost to all sclsc of shame, and regarded himself as being the very hti and front of the government. Defeated in his great pur pose, the impeachment and removal of the Priideut, he became disgusted with the ac tion of the Senate, and has resigned, sneak ing awuy like a whipped spaniel, leaving Audrtiw Johnson, by whom he is hated and despised above all other men, master of the situation and still iu quiet possession of the White House.

Wiiy Grant Dislikes the Ilebrc vr A corrcfpoiidcut of the Chicago Times says : J'he qucstiou Is often asked, "What has General Grant against the Jews !'' or "Why did he issue that notorious procla mation driving all Jews and oihtr vaga bonds, out&ido his eucaiupmeiit T" And not having Been any eatisfactory published answer, 1 will give you what 1 suppose to be the reul cause cf hiB duLkd lo the Jews. During the witor of 1859 and lbCO, while Giant was living at Galoua, he took it into his head to commence busi ness on Lis own hook ; and thinking there was fpucalation iu buying dressed hogs aud shipping theia to Chicago, he came down to the town of Belicvue, lying &onie twelve miles southwest, on the west bunk of the Mia-i?sijpi, fur the purpose of buy ing of the fariness as they came in town with their pork, and having it hauled to Galena, and there shipped on the railroad to Chicago, or in aDy other way was dis poetd of so as to make a profit which was very honorable, and, if managed uu derstandingly, could 1avo been made a profitable business. There lived at that time in IJellevue a man by the name of Ieosentha.1, who was a Jew, and who was in the pork trade, nnd, of course, would be glad to keep the trade in his own hands ; bo he determined, if possible, not to give Grant much of a chance, and the first two or three loads of pork were bid up far beyond its real value, and finally sold to Giant, liy this tirna Rosenthal discovered that Grant knew no ditFereuce between the price of light and heavy hogs, when, in rality, there is a difference of at least one dollar per hundred heuvy hogs being worth ona dollar the most the hogs already purchased by Grant being light, and he having paid the full price for be avy hogs. So Rosenthal goeb to his warehouse ; felecls out all his light hogs, enough to load two or three wagons ; gets some farmers who had wood racks ou their wagons to load on the hogs, drive out of town by another street, and come in on the main road to the corner where they were buying. Rosenthal meets them there by another street, aud commeuced bidding againt-t Grant, and, after bidding the pork up to the full value of heavy pork, it was Bold.to Grant. Hut the joke, or "sell," being too good to keep, it was not half an hour before everybody nearly was splitting with laughter to see how tho Jew had bold the Galena pork buyer ; which so disgusted Grant that he went home that night, and was never seen in Uellcvue after. And that transaction so embittered him against the old tribes of Israel that I doubt whether bo could now be reconciled. And this is undoubtedly the whole cause of the expulsion of Jews from the camp. We have not beaid of any of the bloodshed eo confidently predicted by General Grant, s the result of the Presi dent's acquittal, neither have there as yet been any indications of an intention on the part of the President to usurp powers not delegated by the Constitution. These bloody and usurping demonstrations will occur about the time that Uutler'a apple bl?"o9 make their appearance. Ttie IJcpnblfcan Sarly Read. A Lively Funeral UiiiCouise. Don Piatt, a well known Western radi cal politician, writes as follows to the Cincinnati Commercial, under date Mac- a-Cheek, May 17 : I wish to make a few observations of a philosophical sort touching the late Repub lican party. I assisted some twelve or thirteen years since at the birth of the party ju3t demited, having travelled from the Mac-a-Coeek val ley to Buffalo, carrying a plank for the platform ou which the newly born was to be oadled, and my affections have grown with its growth to such an extent that its -uddeii death threw me iuto a State of pro found grief, disturbed by indignation. I passed from lamentation to an indignation meeting, and from an indignation meeting to deep grief. But vih reflection came consolation. I came to the consoling thought that I was not the only sufferer, and haud iug out my Eurplus afiiictiou to my beloved country at large, 1 found my share could be carried without much inconvenience. TLe immediate cause of its death was dys pepsia, aggravated by whiskey. But ttie seeds of weakuiss and disease were planted iu its birth. We began a party of relorrn, of agitatiou, of aggression, aud we took into our embraces theoid whig par ty, that was a party of conservatism, ag;ra vated ky great dignity aud timidity. The result has been internal dissensions. The ulira reform party could not digest the con servative lump, and we have been afflicted with choiie, so to speak, that vveil nigh ties-, troyed our usefulness. Our actions, in con sequence, have been contradictory. While at one time we create a John Brown, and glory iu John Brown as our greate.-t and be.-a beloved, organized huije armies, fought out big wars aud liberated a race, on the other Land we have been busy smoothing our war's wrinkled front with the decayed plasters of past wroug doing. It is called compromise which moans to give- ths devil your suul in a dignified, peaceful manner. The last iuternal convulsion exhibited with great clearness the diffeient elements. Ou the one side we had Butler, Stevens, Bingham, Logan, Sumner and Drake; on the other stood, in calm tepose, Fcsseudeu and Tiumbull, while between floated another clement, born of the revolutionary times, thai had it.-s m i: kstabl-j value, and fluctuated as either party bid. Now, 1 am prepaied to admit that Messrs. Fessi:d.u aud Trumbull were actuated by the highest and the most houorable motives. I do not b.lieve they could be l-uht with moi.ey or swayed by prejudice. They felt that they were jim.r-i, under oath, answer able to their G d fur the verdict they ren dered. 2sor tlo I blame them f r responding as they did to the solemn question a.-ked them by the Chief Justice. 1 believed that the thirty five Tolitg guilty" were honor able, honeet men. But in political life a blunder is worse thau a crime, and Messrs. Fc6euden and Trumbull blundered in belonging to the republican organization at all. They sh.nil 1 have gone over to the party ol Stanberry and (iroesbeck, where the old whig dignity is preserved intact, au J where conservatism is so intense that au ancieut wrong js prtfe:red to a Lew right, aud where tincUl position is so glorified that a halo is thrown around an inebriated mule that an al -wise Providence, through some inscrutable reason, has set on end and made our President. hen lmpeachmect was first broache.l the cvid-.-nc? was as well known as it was at tho end of the trial. At the beginning Messrs. Fessaudea ai.d Trumbull should h ive made their fijht. Faili: to defeat it they should have resigned their positions, ae houoiahla men, aud washed their diguified hands ef (he responsibility. But they chos to resurve themselves for a conflict when their triumph would be our death, and are somewhat astonished at the popular howl of wrath aud indignation that comes up over their dignified, honest, honorable stupidity. We could have survived a blunder gieat as this is had it Come alone, but it is the concluding act of a long series. Through the unsettled condition of a country suffering from civil war we have developed m.re ri's cahty than any organizttiou ever called into existence. We have filled the offices with thieves aud tbir pickets with stealings. Wo have organized rings that iu turn create officeholders and control the gov rnn.ent Men go iu piOr and come out millionaires For one dollar paid to the government from hard earned taxes, hui.drecis stick to the d;rty finders of official scoundrels. We have whiskey rings, Iudian Buieau rings, mauufacturers' rings, national bank rings, railroad rings, landjobbing ringsa:i i iuternal improvement riugs. From tlie lowest offi cials up to Senators and Cabinet officers, the taint of corruption runs, until the people, dazed and confuse 1, confound the right and li.-.ten with indiffjreucc to the threats of ex posure. When charged with all this they have responded, "Audy Johns' u is eorrnpt and appointed scoundrels to office." Weil. Messrs. Fessendi-n and Trumbull have, un cer oath, pronounced him not guilty, and let him g'i acq. lit. At the end .l a fearful war the people had a right to expect that the expt-ns; s of the Government shoald be brought back at once to a peace footing They demanded a reduction of the aimy to what it was iu I860 ; that the useless monitors should be sold-lor old iron ; that the hundred thousand thieves catkd office-holders should be dis missed, and the appropriations cut down to a reasonable expenditure, We have replied that Andrew Johnson, who.came in through as-ussination, has or ganized assassination at the .Vuth, and an army of at least fifty thousand men is neces sary to keep tho peace. Messrs. Fessendeu and Trumbull have ToUd not guilty, aud let Andrew go acquit. The people have expected that in 'om hands reconstruction at the South would progress with reasonable speed, and that unhappy region lestored to a state of quiet and prosperity The expectation might not be reasonable, for the blind bigotry that hurried us into a bloody war has developed in hate that, with stupid fury, casts aside all social aud legal restraint. Bnt we an swer that our wise acts of legislation have been rendered null and void by an Execu tive that plants itself squarely in opposition to the law-making power. Now, Messrs. Fessenden i.nd Trumbull vote "not guilty," aud the accused goes acquit. We awaken to the uupleasant fact that not Andrew Johnson, but the Republican party, has been on trial, and the sentence is a sentence of death, rendered bv our own .Senators, who have grown fat. rich and great through our organization. To have such a trial, with siuh a reslt(and Messrs. Fesseoden ami Trumbull knew it as well at the beginning as thy did at the end), is a great blunder a blunder worse thau . a crime. It may be that the disgust feit by the country at large for the democratic peace party may call into existence a new organ ization ; but the Republican party is dead, and v?e rnav as well gracefully admit the fact and accept the situation.

If a backwoodsman should insist on using an axe to cut his crop of grain, in stead of a sickle, because the axo had rendered good servico in felling the forest that stood upon the sara3 ground the preceding year, "nobody would be apt to think well of his judgment in the selec tion of a utensil. As we are not to have a war, there is less fitness in the selection of a general than of a statesman, :-s a candidate for President. General Grant has been nominated solely in consequence of his milit iry reputation. Waivi'i-.-, f r the present, the fundamental objection that the instrument is not adapted to the proposed use, and that the presidency, luring the nut term, will afford no scope for the exertion of military talents, we challenge inquiry into the grounds of General Grant's fame as a soldier. We suppose (hat none of bis friends will seriously maintain that he is entitled to he called a gre.-U general merely because he has commanded great armies, much Uss because he has exposed and lost in battle great multitudes of meji. 1 1 is reputation rests upon the fact that all his campaigns have been successful. Dot success against such adversaries as Pillow or Peuiberton in the West is no very signal proof of abilities, unless they commanded greater forces ; which they did not. Geneial Lee was a more worthy antagonist ; b;.t Gen end Lee was not c.nqi:red by fight. ng him, but by exhausting his resources. Ho stood on the defensive for nctirly a year after GiHMt assumed command in the East, although the Confederacy was even then, when Grant crossed the liapidan, tottering and Wv'll-nigh spent by three years' exertion in a strenuous and unequal strug'e. It is certainly j.jst to credit Grant with the capture of Lee ; but there is a debit hh well as a credit side to tlu account. What General Scott called "ih e economy of !ifo by means cf head- ' work" will be sounht for in viiin in t!i campaigns of General Grunt. His suc cesses have been won by a prodigal ex penditure of his soldiers. In his last and greatest campaig'n he pitted an enormous army against a small one, and sacrificed twice as many men as Gen. Lee had un d r his command. It is not justice, but adulation, to praise him as if he had con quercd an army as l.irse as his own. It is not justice but an affront to humanity to give biin as n jh credit as if he had achieved the same result without such wholesale sacrilices of man. The follow ing is an authentic statement of the re spective forces and losses of Generals Grant and Lee between the Rapidan and the Jarnrs : Grant, on assuming command May 4, 186-1, had of effective men besides the re jorve, w hen he crossed the Rapidan, 125,. 000. Lee at the same date had an effective force of 52,000. Grant b reinforcements up to the battle of Cold Harbor, June 3, were 97,000. Lee's reinforcements up to tha same date, were 18,0)0. Giant's total force, including reinforce meiits, was 222,000. Returns to their respective governments showed that when b:th armies Lad reach 4 the James, June 10, the number of Grant's army that had been put hors du combat was 117,000. Up to the same date, the number of Lee's man who had been put hois du combat was 19,000. The two armies then met in front of Petersburg. We have been at some ptiins to ascer tain and verify thoe figures, and we vom h for their substantial ae curacy. We shall take care lh.it they do not ct-cape tiie no tice n -j slip thi recolLttion of the country We i-beei Lilly concede to General Grant the met it of success ; but it is light that the country should know the terrible cost at which that success was purchased. The truest test of military geniua s tlie accomplishment of gret results with slender means. We can recall no in stance (unless Grant an instance) of a general who establish, d his title t. b; call ed great otherwise than by succeeding against great disadvantages cither su perior numbers, or consummate abilities in the commanders opposed to him, or formidable physical obstacles. A man doeB not prove that he possesses a gi. nil's stiength by overmastering an invalid or a cripple. A general does not establish his title to be considered great by subdu ing an army one-third as large as hit own, aud losing live of his own men for every one that be disables of the enemy. We have had some experience before of running successful generals a3 candi dates for the presidency; but their achieve ments were, in this particular, a great contrast to those of General Grant. Gen eral Jackson won his brillant victory at "Sew Orleans with 7000 men against a British army of 1 2,000. General Taylor had but about 0000 men at Buena Vista, and thj Mexicans twice or thrice that number. General Scott had 8,500 at Cerro G jrdo, the Mexicans 12,000. The splendid victory of Contrera-i wa achiev ed by Scott with 1,500 men against 12, 000 M exicans. General Scot , in his re poit to the Secretary of War, speaking of the battles in front of Mexico, said : "And 1 assert, upon accumulated nnd unquestionable evidence, that in not one of these conflicts was this army opposed by fevvrtr than three-and-a-half times its numbers in several of them by a yet greater excess." If it be said thai Grant had disadvantages of ground and position to encounter in advancing through an enemy's country, the 6ime is equally true of Scott, who nevertheless with greatly inferior numbers advanced rapidly from triumph to triumph, while Grant, opera ting with superior numbers ugainst a nearly exhausted foe, required a whole year to capture Richmond, which finally succumbed to exhaustion rather than to military' genius.
