MEN
MBE TESTlMONY.—Secretary Stan
ton, in. his testimony before the im
peachment committee, thus refers to
one:of the "high crimes and misde
meanors" upon which President John
son was impeached. •
Q. Did any of thosdabinot express a
doubt of the power of the Executive
branch of the Government to recog
nize the State governments which had
been in rebellion . without the aid of
Congress? A. None whatever; I had
myself entertained no doubt of the au
thority of the President to take meas
ures for the organization of the rebel
States on the plan proposed during the
vacation of Congress, and agreed in
the plan specified in the proclamation
in the case of North Carolina.
'GEN. GRANT EOR PRESIDENT.—There
appears to be a fixed determination on
the part of many Republicans, to put
General Grant io,nominatien for the
next Presid4t. \there is.ohoelass of
Republicao whostrOniiOtislY-,oppose
lfis,nc?mination—and theYarolho more
extreme men of the '
'party, and the
same men ,
who epposed,t i he. nomina-
Lien of President The midi
date of tho Radical Republicans for
President is Judge Chase, while the
candidate of tho Consorvativo Repub
licans is General Grant. The senti
ments of Judge Chase aro well known—
ho is as Radical as the most•radical of
the party; while the opinions of Gen
eral Grant aro not known, to any defi
nite extent. As for' the latter, if wo
can place any reliance on reported in•
terviows, be is just as much a, Conser
vative Democrat as ho is a Conserva
tive Republican. But take up his tes
timony before the Judiciary Impeach
ment.Committeo,.and wo find his posi
tion nearer than we have.it from any
other Source. In his testimony he ad
vanced views 'which would Make it hp•
pear,fts, if hoWanttid to abandon the
right to punish the military leaders of
the Rebellion, while President Johnson,
on the Other hand, *as eager for their
punishment. ,114 admirers of
,General Grant can reconcile that state
ment, and .in the same breath crimi,
nate President Johnson, we cannot
understand ; Johnson; it has b'eeU re
peatedly said;htifi gone back on his:as- ,
sertions, that "traitors should bo pun
ished," , and "treason must bo made
odious," but now wo find the very
men who were loudest ,in their cries
against Johnson are new loudest in
their appeals in aid of Grant, who
from the very beginning until now,
has been opposed to the punishment of
the leaders of the rebellion.
Our 'own ,ptivato opinion is that
General Grant not only doer not seek,
but will not have the position of Pres•
ident, if it is offered to him at the Re:
publican nominating Convention. He
has now a position as General-in-Chief
of the armies, from which the people
can not well spare , him, for• services
rendered in the past. his reticence is
Worrying the party Politicians, but his
silence can not be considered as con
senting to the nomination from any
party, for if it can be considered as
consenting to ono party it can also be
considered asconoontios to the other
piirty. We take it; however, that his
name is being used by the politicians
of the Republican party for the effect
that it may have in rallying the party
until some ono more acceptabli: may
be nominated.. We look at it in the
light of a more party dodge and not as
expressing the real, honest sentiments
of .the party; and wo predict that if
any can be prevailed upon to build
high hopes of the nomination of Gen
eral Grant, as a 'Republican candidate,
they will be doomed to disappoint
ment.
THE BA NKR UP,l' LAW ENDED.-All
who contemplate availing themselves
of the benefits of the Bankrupt Law
must do so previous toMareh 2d, 1868,
as the fifty per cent. clause takes effect
on, that . day. There aro only about
one hundred and fifteen days left. All
claims against a bankrupt who applies
after next March will, as a matter of
•course, be proyon. Section, 33 of the
law, in relation to the, fifty per cent.,
is as follows:: "And in all proceedings
in bankruptcy; commenced after ono
year from the time' this act 'shall go
into operation, no discharge shall be
granteAL to a debtor s whose assets does
not pay fifty per
,cent. of the claims
against his estate, unless the assent, in
writing, of a majoritY_ in number and
value of his creditors, who have, proved
their claims, is filed in the ease, at or
before the time of application for dis
charge."
m.A.n unparalleled amount Of deS
titution and suffering exists in Rich
mond. Very lately a largo number of
persons have been discharged from the
workshops. On all• sides is seen the
evidence of hard times, and worse is
expected, and this winter may present
to the world the spectacle of an! indus•
trious people, living upon 'the most
productive soil in the world, abounding
in minerals of all kinds, literally star=
ving—starving for the want of bread.
—Pittsburg Commercial.
And the poor people of the North
taxed to deathlhat; the negroes of the
South may govern the whites.
llEr "It would seem that, after all,
'Andrew Johnson, extreme as he is, is
not up to the requirements
,Cof the,pure,
orthodox school of Democracy as rep
resented by Black, Yallandigham, Cly
mer, Pendleton, and Viroodwar&"—
Forney's Press.
It would seem thon, that, after all,
you have for months and years boon
misrepresenting Andrew Johnson by
asserting that ho had gone over to the
"enemy." It is now possiblo that
Forney will soon be a Johnson man
again—or something else.
zTho people are looking with pa
tience for the President's Message,ond
the other official documents. While
Johnson's Message may excite some
interest, we think Grant's report will
excite still more: Everybody is being
taught to look to him now. Well, wo
will see what we *ill see, when the re
port is published. Wo believe the
President will talk moderately and
impassionately in tone, while Grant
will mind his own business, and give
.the politicians very little comfort.
,C4r The efforts of the leading spirits
of the impeachment movement to got a
majority in each House to Myer their
scheme, it is said, will fail.
TUE IMPEACIIMENT BUSINESS.—The
Pittsburg Commercial, one of the best
Republican papers in the State, gays :
"It is probable that we ,could not
state a more significant fact than that,
up to this time, so far as our observa
tion extends, not a reprosontive Re
publican paper, of indeed , a Republi
can• paper of any kind, has come out in
unqualified support of . the proposition
to impeach the President:en, the testi
mony reported by the Judielaty. Com
mittee, while most of - them strongly
oppose such a course. This, wo think,
may be taken as accurately reflocting
the ROpublican sentiment at the pres
ent moment. The terse report of the
minority, signed by Messrs. Wilson
and Weedridgd,'We,apihohend, is Prot
ty generally approved' by the popular
judgment.'
' The fall elOctiohs are over—politi
cians cannot see` that they can deceive
the voters any : longer—and they, con
fess their politibal Shia. The ImP`mich
meat Committee has . eost the people
hundreds of thOusands of dollars, : to
gratify partisan .passion, and all its la
hors amount tO.nothing:: We never
believed - President Johnson could bo
impeached. We believed the threat
was only made to influence the mass
of voters to vote With the .radical par
ty. The Radical's Must now arrange
a new programme, to deceive •and
plunder the People—the impeachment
swindle' is,played out.
lairEacumENT.--The , almost univer.
sal tenor of the comments of the Re
publican papers is in accord with the
following, which is the conclusion of
an elaborate article in the Chicago
Tribune, the leading Republican journal
in the Northwest :
Let those who propose to sacrifice
everything to impeachment remember
that at the next election they will have
to go before a pdoplo who have deman
ded a revision of the revenue laws, an
improvement of• the currency, and a
stable adjustment of tho debt, and who
will laugh with conterept in the face
of the man wholias the impudence to
toll them that a neglect of those, is com
pensated or atoned for by an attempt
to impeach the President upon charges
so strained and threadbare that
they ought not to merit an investiga
tion by a court of potty sessions. .

impeachment Losing Ground
The Impeachment project is losing
ground. Well informed members ex•
press the belief that if a vote were ta
ken at the next mooting of the House,
triatibjobt-would.bo-tabled by a de,ei
sivi3 majority. Two or three who wore
known to favor the impeachment last
summer have come out openly against
it since reading the testidony, and as
can be ascertained, not a single con
vert to impeachment has been made
since the testimony was printed.
The President's Temperance.
B, B. French, Esq , of thie city, has

.Tho . Message.
Nov. 30.—The President called the
Cabinet in special session to-day, all
the members being present. Yesterday,
in a full Cabinet; the President's mes
sage was discussed and several chan
ges were made.
~To-day the message
was again read , ) froth corrected proof
slips. It is understood that the Presi
dent adheres in tpe main to his own
plan of reconstruction as heretofore de
veloped so far inoire South under tin"
military laws. Ile devotes consider
able space tio' the. natiotial finances and
favors,substantially the policy of the
Secretary of the _Treasury ,regarding
the volume of the currency.
The TiOcisitry Report.
The report of itie Secretary of the
Treasury was this afternoon mailed to
Collectors of ROvenue and Assistant
Treasurers, to delivered to the
President simultaneously with 'its pre
sentation to Con'gress. It is learned
positively that the Secretary holds to
his well known policy of contraction of
the currency, and thinks that the law
giving him the discretion to contract
forty-eight milliens a year ought not
to be repealed. He takes, on the other
hand, strong ground against expan
sion and declares that if that policy bo
inaugurated by Congress, it will prove
disastrous to the country and ultimate
ly lead to repudiation. 'Re interprets
the law in reference to the government
bonds as pledging tbo country to their
payment,principal and interest, in
coin. He believes that if their redemp
tion in currency shall be adopted the
effect would be disastrous.

What the Country Needs,
[From tho N. Y. Tlmos.] • -
"What the country needs now more
than anything else is pacification. Wo
need peaeo. 7 ,-not only in; form,
but in
fact, peace that shall involve harmony
of sentiment; unity of purpose and of: ;
feeling among the people of the sec:
tions lately at war. Without such a
peace as this, nothing else that M '
may think wo have secured will be
worth a straw. We may force negro
suffrage upon the South, and maintain
it by the bayonet;-but until it ie there
by some different tenure than that, 'it
will be a curse instead of bleSsing to'
all concerned, and especially to the ne
groes themselves. When negro suf
frage can be established in: the South
_With the assent' of the Southern poeplo
—an assent based "on - the conviction
that it is intendedi for the common
good, and is not sitaply . another form
of hostile; force, it ,consolidate "
Southern political soeietY,.and' contri
bute,largely to, the good of the whole
country. But 'this stattr of thing. 4 can
not be reached until Peita—the spirit
of peace, as-well as its form—is yestor
ed to the section hitcly,al war:, And
the same thing fs trne tho'chang-'
es and reforms which should follow in
the South as the results
,of ,the war.—
We may force them`Upon the South
ern States as upon a conquered section.
We may maintain them there by mili
tary power. But so long'as this is the
only hold they have ; upen ,the South
ern people, they Will only breed strife
and contention—not 'contribute to the
peace and strength" Of the common
country. The South 'will regard them
as simply force in another form.
The great mistake in what has been
done since the war was closed; to, 'that
it has been: done in- the spirit and tern--
per of, conquerors dealing with a cony,
quered people. :After a war between
independent nations peace comes only
through a treaty; a compact to which
both are equal parties ; it is not impos
ed by the victor without_ the consent
of the vanqiiished, and maintained--by
a constant display, of armed „power.
Such a close of war Would not be peace.
It would have nothing of the spirit of
peace. It would) beal none of the,
wounds, soothe nofiii of the .asperities;
allay none of the. hatreds which :Abe
war bad caused; and this is far more
true of the peace that should follow -
war between contendino , sections of
the same country. The terms of peace
in such a case, Wit is to bring'with it
the fruits*of peace, • must be such as
the judgment of both parties can ap
prove and , such as both can: accept
without a sense of humiliation. The
President's policy had this feature to,
recommend it at all events: Whether
right or wrong in its details,. it made
the South an assenting and willing
party to the peace which it sought to
bring about. And the groatdefeet in
the policy of Congress' has been, that
it springs froin a different temper and
breathes a different' 'spirit. Whether
:right or wrong in-its details, it is
,im
posed upon' the Soitth,bY force. It goes
out under threats—backed up by mili
tary power, and enforced as an act and
badge of subjugation rather than offer
ed as a basis of peace which both par
ties can accept with honor, and as con
ducive to their common interests. Dif
ferences of detail ~would have been
very easily adjusted, if the subjeet had
been thus approached in the spirit - of
a real and substantial peace.
But this has not been done. We are
as far, from real peace to-,day as
--we
were when the war was closed, In
deed, the feeling that now prevails be:
tween the two, sections is less peaceful,
more bitter and more hostile, than it
was when Lee surrendered to Grant.
The people•feel thisto be the fact, and
'they deplore it as dalcolated to plunge
the country deeper 'And deeper into
trouble and confusion. We are not
coming out of the war with either cred
it to dui-solves or profit to, the country.
We are simply prolonging its enmities
and 'widening the breach which the des
sation of armed strife ought to have
closed. Nor does the progress of re
construction, under the law of Con
gress, promise speedy relief. That is
regarded as a hostile act by the pee:
pie of the Southern States—as intended
to' overturn and humiliate them, and'
as calculated to disorganize their soot-,
oty and destroy, their prosperity. ••
The coming Presidential, election
will bring.this.matter to an issue. If
the Democratic party should elect a
President; representing :the principles
and policy to which - they have adhered
throughout the war, we should haVe
the whole contest ,to be fought over
again, in the political arena, if 'net In
the field of arms.' If the Republicans,
on the other hand, should elect one of
their "representative men"—;a: politi
cian who has achieved distinction by
waging a war of sentiments and-ideas
