IMPEACHMENT.
Great Excitement in POlitical Circles.
Special Dispatch to the Pittsburgh Commercial.]
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 28, 1867.
There has been a great goal -of ox
eitement in politieaLeireles on the anti:
ject of impeachment: The injunction
of secrecy voted by the Judiciary com
mittee at a recont.meeting has given_
rise to the impression that at least ono
of tho Republican members (Mr.
Churchill, of New York,) has changed
his views on the subject, of impeach
ment, so as to give a majority report
for the measure on Monday next.
There has boon an attempt to got the
Republicans into caucus on the sub
ject, but so many members have declin•
ed to participate or to agree to be
bound by its action, that it will not be
held. The . advocates df impeachment
have been very actively canvassing
since Thursday, hut, so many members
refuse ,to_ commit themsolves'before
hearing the testimony that"nothing
can be ascertained as to the probable
action of the House when the matter
is fairly before it.. The Missouri and
Tennessee" delegates aro quoted ,as
unanimously for the proposition. -A
majority of the Illinois delegates aro
against it. In the Ohio delegation,
Messrs. Ashley; Eekley, Shellabar
,' ger, Lawrence and Schenck, aro open
ly for it, and most of the others are
openly against it.
Mr. Bingham denounces the whole
proceedings as unwise for the country
and for the party, and says that unless
a stronger 'case is shown than was
inado last July, he will move 'to lay
the whole subject on the, „table.,
says it is a scheme to force the Repub
li9n party into the. aupport,of Benja
min Butler for next President. Allu
ding in conversation to the pending
bill, to suspend during trial, ho,, spoke
of it as the most outrageous piece of
legislation he had ever heard propos
od, and that it would blow the B,epub,
lican party out of.water if passed.
Mr. Ashley says that' if - a majority
report is presented in favor of impeach
ment it will certainly be adopted by
the House. He claims to have polled
the Republican members, and to have
ascertained how each will vote, yet it
is known that,several whom he records
in the affirmative have expressed no
determination to vote
_that way.
Mr. Lawrence, of Ohio, says the
President will be out of office within
forty days, believing it wilt take less
than thirty days to carry the articles
through,the Senate and secure convic
tion.

Now York .stock and gold specta
tors have been anxiously telegraphing
for. reliable information on this sub•
ject, in
,the belief that tho success. of
the impeachment project ekveu.. in the
House, will very materially affect the
gold and stock market.
The Committee on impeachment
had,a meeting to-day, but of the result
nothing is positively known. The
most that has transpired is that there
has been a very stormy time in the
Comniittee.
WA'SUINGTON; Nov. 25.
The Judiciary CoMinittee met at 9
o'clock this morning, for the purpose
of hearing read the reports of the ma
jority and minority
,ou impeachment.
They will be signed and presented to
the House after the Speaker announ
ces the standing committees.
The majOritjr report will be signed
by Messrs. Williams, Boutwell, Thom•
as, Lawrence, and Churchill. The'
mi
nority.by Messrs. Wilson, Chairman,
Woodbridge, Eldrige, and Marshall.
The latter's report is very elaborate,
nearly twice tho.length of the majori
ty report.' Great excitement prevails
throughout the city respecting the im
peachment question,"and it is the gen
eral theme - of conversation in all cir
cles.
The Negro Conventions in the South
Their Mots 'on.the Northt
[Pam% ,tho N. ]. ItorAldj
Alabama has led the vaa in the re
construction:of the •,United States by
the negro. Other States are to follow,
until, :under a glorious,negro rule, the
ten southern,. divisions of our republic
are bound and given.over to Africa, to
be governed according to the Haytien
style, The principles of the conven
tions which frame those negro govern
mente are.shaphd by the most unprin
cipled of all our demagogues. With ,
out n..dollar of interest in the country,
they, stir the pliable black man to pas-
Bien against the white, and while
moulding.the mass to suit rOical•aime,
sow the seeds.of, an unavoidable-,War
of caste. They do not fail..to promise ,
the negro all that his barbarous imag
ination may desire—freedom from .la
bor, a division of property, and even
the government of the-country. Thus,
for traifeient political purposes• they
force the whole' sunburned -brain of
Ethiopia to the same focus, and teach
it to expect what it can never realize
while there is a Southern and a North
ern sword • left to defend Caucasian
bloodblood originally purer than
that of Africa, and purified still more
by long centuries of arduous labor to
wards the summit, civilization; blood
prOgressive, in contradistinction to
blood retrograde and naturally bar—
baric in its impulses.
In the face of all this we see power
centralizing in" the South in the hands
of that element which according to all
history, is a threat against any oivili•
zation with which it comes in contact.
The platform of the radical Republi
can party of Louisiana is a fair -expo
nent of what threatens us in all the
Southern States by raising up a pow
er ten times more' destructive and na
tionally demoralizing - than any that
has heretofore existed. 'That platform
states :—"We as a party insist on per
fect equality, without distinction of
race or color, in the right to vote and
enter the jury box without any educa
tional or property qualification being
required. Again :'--"The' radical Re
publican party of Louisiana will sup
port no man for - office who will not
openly and boldly pledge himself to
make an equal distribution among
white and colored alike of all offices to
which ho may have power of appoint
ment."
These are the mad principles whieh
at a terrible cost, we urge upon one
half of our territorial extent, thus
threatening its complete. desolation.
Were it the destruction of only ono
half of the country we might, in our
wonderful stamina, live under it; but
the radical programme means more
than this—it means the' draining' of
every energy of the North to support
the one grand black idea, rind, at any
cost, forcing the negro down the throat
of the nation. We struggle under it,
we bleed, re,expend our millions, we
tax ourr-people to .the last feather's
weight, We fairly writhe beneath the
terrible-efforts, to swallow a dose that
would mammoth anaconda.
We cannot do
..it,and we cast it aside as
something that would give the coup de
grace to all the cherished hopes of a
people who are struggling for civiliza
tion, not barbarism. We are taxed
to-day one thousand millions per year
to support The radical idea that Africa
has a higher civilization than Europe,
and that it is necessary for the United
States, at any sacrifice, to approxi
mate itself to the African standard.
The radicals; ilete'rmiried to give all
the strength possible to the negro
card, train every element in the North
to its support; and while in the South
they tear down all barriers which dis
tinguish races, while they abolish
every aristocratic privilege, while they
inaugurate there a, UtoFian agrarian
ism, they give us a singular contra
diction of principles in the North.
Here they strive to build, up great
moneyed monopolies, a dictatorial
banking system, a centralization of
party power, an enriching 'of the rich
and an impoverishing of the poor.
Thus it becomes difficult to discover
that there is any great underlying
principles in radicalism, unless it bo
the, sole idea to retain at all hazards
the power into which the revolution
ary throes of the country forced them.
The North is beginning to dive in
to this problem, and is rapidly discov
ering its inconsistencies.- There is a
deep and settled resolution takingpos•
session of the masses that they will no
longer:lmpport , aristocratic privileges
in • the North or negro elevation and
barbarism itrtlm South. Bled to the
last drop of blood'and treasure, they
begin to ask, " What is this money used
for ?" and look whore they will they
see the question answered:—To prop
up a quarter section of Africa, until
we see if centuries hence it will be able
to march' onward unaided. God nev
er made one race to support another.
For this we made war in favor of the
black. As matters now progress un
der radical rule; we fast advance to a
war to relieve the white from support
ing the black: "
The future aspirants for the Presi
dency must learn the truths which we
bore enunciate. If General Grant ac
cepts the radical nomination upon
such a platform as the radicals now
tread ho will be defeated, de'sPite his
national popularity 'and his masterly
reticence. General Scott Was defeated
where there were similar but minor
principles involved; and President
Pierce, with all his irebecibility, then
stepped into powe'r.
In the South we see all the prelimi
nary movements fora desolating war
of caste, if the present programme be
carried out. The negroes have nu
merous leagues; and aro providing
themselves with arms, which are giv
en to theta by the radicals. The white
people, despairing of returning again
to prosperity, , and seeing their every
effort met by a crushing blow from
Congress, now give the country 'over
to negro rule, and emigrate elsewhere.
Domestic capital threatened, and
northern and foreign capital frightened
away; State and municipal privileges
completely under military domination,
which is destructive to every element
of our boasted republicanism; the cre
dit of the States destroyed; and one
half of the country desolated at the
expense of the other half,are all mourn
ful indications of Approaching barbaric
government. The effect on the North
is already indicated by the, late elec
tions. The negro wave must now ebb.
It has had its greatest flow. The radi
caliMay still float on the receding
black' tide;but the white 'people of
the Unite States, as a mass, have too
much semi() loft to . place their future
civilization and government under ne
gro domination.

VENGEANCE DEFERRED.—Upon one
of the festival days in Naples 'it was
customary to have some individual
mounted upon an ass, who for two
hours rides through the city personat
ing the Savior, and who ; during that
time, must endure the most intolerable
buffets and insults. So vile is the
treatment to which this persdn has to
submit it is Often difficult, even by the
offer of
.a large pecuniary reward, to
induce any person to accept the office.
On one occasion, an' American sailor,
tempted by the gold, accepted the job.
His ignorance of the language "Spared
hiiu the verbal contumely, but the out
rages upon his person 'wore" fully ap
preciated. He endured all bravely,
until, when'ricar the close of his work,
he was assailed personally in the most
offensive' manner. - Shaking his drip
ping garments, he turned upon his as

until I have done playing Christ, and

HAVANA, November 15
By this mail I send you, very brief
ly, the principal facts in regard to the
late disastrous tornadd in these is
lands:
The Porvenir of Porto Rico of the 31st,
of October says :—"At the late hour
at which we write it is impossible to
judge of the great terror which pre
vails, resulting from the horrible effect
of the hurricane of the night before
last. The great fall of rain, the force
of the wind, the almost complete dark
ness, produced in the minds of the
people a condition verging towards
insanity. In the early hours of the
night the Capital of "Porto Rico bore
altogether the aspect of a deserted city
At 5-45 the storm commenced, and at
6-15 the hurricane was at its height ;
at this hour the : barometer marked
29-60. During the prevalence of the
hurricane several vessels in the harbor
wore either'totally- destroyed or very
badly damaged."
The Porvenir of the 3d inst., says :
The hurricane has 'a multi
tude of victims, destroyed houses, de
solated plantations, swept,away fields
of grain, and deprived thousands of
poor in one night of their means of
livelihood.
At St. Thomas the damage was very
groat indeed. In the Island of Torto
la the destruction has been truly la
mentable. From what we can learn
there is not a singlo,thuso standing no
the Island; the'plantations are literal
ly swept clean; hundreds of lives have
been lost; in short, it is impossible ,to
judge of the deartietion at this rao,
merit.
On the island of Vieques the effects
of the storm are alitiost equally notice
able. Most of the vessels lying near
the island were destroyed. To add to
the terror with which the storm filled
the hearts of the inhabitants, a fearfUl
conflagration brolte out while the hur
ricane was at its height, and occasion
ed new disasters. •
In the Cidra we learn that 96 houses
were destroyed and several lives lost.
In Loiza 27 houses were destroyed and
several lives were lost.
It is impossible as yet to estimate
the number of lives lost, or the amount
of damage done to property. We, have
reports of English, French, and Span
ish vessels of large tonnage which have
been swept away by the force of the
storm.
The Porvenir of the Fish of Novem
ber contains additional accounts of the
disastrous effects of tire hurricane. ,
As the mail is just closing, I must
defer nutter particulars of this most
disastrous calamity.

Many of the farmers in the lower section
of Montgomery county have their crops of

work. They commence operations early in

A terrible accident occurred on the morn
ing of the 21st., on the Cincinnati, Hamilton,
and Dayton Railroad. The broad gunge ex
press train, due at 6 o'clock, was detained at
Dockland by a freight train coming south.
While the express train was waiting for the
freight train to take the siding, another
freight train, that had been following it, ran
into the roar of the express, before a man
could get out to flag them. Four ladies and
one man were burned to death, and nearly
all the train burned to ashes. The rear cars
were the ToleAo train that the express takes
at Dayton, tin. last, car being the sleeping
car from Toledo. The names or residence of
the victims her: , not been ascertained.
Beer The wonderful projectile, called
Greek fire, and also, "liquid fire," is
said to have been invented by one Cal

about the seventh century, and it was
used with terrible effect by the Greeks
long before it became known to other.
nations. Though its exact elements,
and their proportions, can now be a
matter of conjecture merely, it is rea r
sonnble to suppose that naptha, pitch,
and sulphur were some of its principal
ingredients. It was usually kept in
jars or large bottles, and could be pro
pelled; in its' fluid" - state, from the
prows of ships, and from fortifications! ,
with as much precision as water is
now thrown from a fire-engine. The
moment it was exposed to the air
it ignited, and became a continuous
stream of fire, carrying with it exeru;

water increased rather than diminished
its' poWer; it could.. only be extin::
