Vr..' ct in this case is flrod in tho
tniuda of the eonrt and the jury T Tho
IN'tw Hampshire election, taming up-
on t,.is issue as a party measure, set
tled tbe question ; for from that day,
w by general consent, frenluential
roii ciaos and the office-holders aud

calculations upon the probable conse
quencea of Andrew Johnson's remo

t:on to the Wbito House for tho rem
nant of the Presidential term to the
4th of March, 18C9.
Tha independent position, thero
.fore, taken by the Chief Justice in
tbis trial, looking to President John
son, amounts to nothing. J. lie trial
is a formality which cannot be avoid
ed tad a few duyl mora or less pain
d for ' the defence upon points of law
and evidence will serve mainly the
Advertisement, on a grand scale, and
trrataitously, too, or the learned law
vera concerned on both aides. This
impeachment is indeed a great thing
lor them and a hit lor the newspaper ;
but it is a mockery to Andrew John
on. - Tbe briefest glance at the pro
gramme for the prolongation of the
reiL'O ot Radicalism will serve to show
bow fallacious must be all estimates
cf a Republican diversion in the Sen
ate sufficient to save poor Johnson,
especially' when it is apparent on ev
ery band that the ouuide hue and cry
for bis removal will admit of no de
fections in the part)' camp. What
than is this Radical programme f
' It is a plan of operations not only
for the next Presidency and the next
Congress, but for such a reconstruc
tion of Slates, the right of suffrage
and sectional balances of power as will
La well adapted to secure a long pos
sesion of the Government The
great impediment to the plan thus
-recd upon has been and is Andrew
Ji.linson a President of the United
States. With his removal and the
transfer of Mr. Wudo ad interim, to
tho Executive mansion, the coast will
be clear. The outside Southern States,
under the supervision of a Radical
President, can be reconstructed and
restored bottom end up without the
lightest difficulty, or held over till
after tho Presidential election, as may
be deemed most expedient. Thirty
or forty thousand Federal officers,
mainly useless for Radical party pur
pose under Andrew Johnson, will,
Willi his removal, be thrown into the
republican Presidential market, and
n electioneering fund of millions may
thus bo secured from the whiskey in
terest alone. The Supremo Court
will n xt be made all right with such
additions of reliable, political judges
as will secure a Radical majority on
every important tost, against all con
tingencies, for years to come. A law
of Congress establishing universal ne
gro suffrage throughout the United
States would thus he made a sure
thing against any appeal from any
quarter Finally, with tbe eleven
rbel Statos reconstructed and reinsta
ted iu Congress on tho basis of uni
versal negro suffrage, and with Texas
cut up into three or four States, to
say nothing of negro suffrage in Ma
ryland and Kentucky, there will be A
Southern negro Radical balenco of
power in our national affairs as diffi
cult, perhaps, to overcome by the
North as was the late Southern slave
holding oligarchy.
This is the Radical programme; as
far as dovelopsd. It may, however,
fall fur short of the reconstruction
vttem contemplated with a man in
t5i a YVIite House whose certain signa
ture will make only a bare majority
of both house oocessary to consum
mate any Radical measure. Rut tbe
du-hadula of party ways and means
wo have indicated is long enough and
4. road enough to bring about, step by
tejj, a revolution in the Government
ni complete as to make nur future na
tional elections as manageable by the

Thing in A'orth Carolina.
The North Carolina Congo Con

Mr. Liltlefield took the chair and
crave out "Old John Rrown lies
mouldering in tbo ground," two lines
at a tune und the whole congregation
sang it after bim. They rang the
Gre-bells while the constitution was
being signed, till half the citizens
turned out, supposing the town was
on fire, and broke up in an orgio im
possible to describe. ;
Among the features of the proposed
constitution are the following : " That
whites and negroes shall be forced to
attend tbe same schools. That whites
and negroes shall be drilled together
in the militia prooabiy whites om
cered by blacks. That white children
are to be apprenticed ' to negroes.
That marriages between wbitee and
blacks are to be legal.
The worst criminals are being par
doned out of the penitentiaries, that
tbey may vote the Itadical ticket.
The Radicals pause at no measure
which will insure their success and
the country's ruin. The' negro Har
ris, member of this county, was nom
inated for Congress. He would have
been elected, but be received orders
from Washington, accompanied with
Kthoutand-dqllar bill, todeclinothe
nomination, which be did.' There is
nothing Radicals dread so much as to

- A very funny incident occurred in

a few days since, and one which ia too

would get it, with some others, stop

chase, One of the clerks, a modest
oung man, stepped up to wait on
or. The young lady threw back her
veil, saying ;
" I wan t ' Kock me to hlcep.
The clerk got the song, and put it
bofore her.
"Now," said the young lady, "I want
the ' Wondering Refugee.' "
" Yes ma'am,"' said tbe clerk, bow
ing, and in a few minutes he produced
the " Refugee."
' Now, Kiss Me,'" said the young
ady, of course meaning the song
above mentioned.
The poor clerk' eye popped fire
almost, as he looked at the young la
dy in alter astonishment, for ho was
not aware or the tact that a song by
that name bad been published.
" Wh what did you say, Missr
" Kiss Me," said she. "
I can't do it; I never kissed a
young lady in my life," said the clerk.

Salariei Ii Gold. The New Or
leans Bee say that the Into Judge
Taney refused to receive greenbacks
inpayment of his salary, on the ground
that the Constitution of the United
States itself provides, in section 1,
article III., that "the Judges, both
of the Supremo and Inferior Courts,
shall receive for their service a com
pensation which shall not bo dimin
ished during their continuance in of
fice." This, according to Judgo Taney,
inhibited the Treasurer from paying
him in anything c-lse than gold or
silver coin, or it equivalent. Mr.
Chase was then Secretary of the
Treasury, and he refused to pay tbe
J udges salary excepting in greenbacks.
But, adds the Bee, aniiupon informa
tion "from a high and responsible
source, it is a fact that since Mr.
Chase became Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court, the Jndges have been
paid their salaries In gold." The
public is interested in knowing if
thi i so, and Chief Justice Chase

The Urtat ExperimentShalt II
Hrtult in Failure 1
There is no Ineuuico of a republic
that long maintained its existence.
Every student of ancient history is
familiar with the riso and progress,
the decline and tall, ot tiio Roman
and Grocinn republics ; nor do tho
records of Vcnico or of the French
republics, in more modern timos, sup
ply a better argument totboadvocato
ol republican freedom than tho an
nols of antiquity. However fair we
are to believe in the capacity of man,
and especially of educated and en
lightened man, for self-government,
yet are we constrained to acknowl
edge that the experiments which havo
been tried stroni'ly niilitato against
the flattering theory. Brief episodes
there have been indeed, when peoples
have so nobly asserted their capacity
for self rulo that it wcro sin to call
that capacity into question ; but in
variably those briof episode have
been succeeded by the inevitable trans
fcr of power from the many to the few
The transition from the stern virtues
of AristidcH and the glowing repnbli
canism of Demosthenes to the brilliant
Macedonian empire, and from the no
ble Brain to the imperial Ciesar, has
been all too sudden tor history to id
spire mankind with any overweening
confidence in tbe theory of popular
sen-government.
To all this our forefathers were
keenly alive. In tbe experiment in
stituted by them they profited by tbe
failures of other repulics, and endeav
ored to place the American system
upon a more Solid and enauring basis
Avoiding the crude and unwieldy de
mocracy ol the one nation, tho aristo
cratic teuduncius of another, the cen
tralixing feature of a third, and the
anarchical elements of a fourth, they
look counsel of experience and wis
dom and perfected the most complete
system of republican government with
which man was ever blosaod. A rep
resentative Democracy, in a complex
system of a general and Stale govern
ments, seonied to give assurance that
the republican alembic had at Inst
prod uccd the long sough t philoph er'
stone. With their handiwork finished
before them the founders of the Amer
ican republic might well exclaim in
equul prido and confidence of spirit,
t.sto perpetual And tor moro than
three-quarters of a century the issue
seemed fully to justify the anticipa
tion, for never before did a country
prosper as ours has done, until within
the last few years. ilh perlect lib
erty for the peoplo, the nation waxed
mighty and powerlul, our commerce
whitened every sea, and our flag was
respected in every port. Prosperity
and freedom prevailed at homo, and
honor as ono among the greatest na
tion of tbe earth concudod to ui
abroad. Happy would it have bon
for us, for liberty, for civilization, if
II our own people had been content
that things should remain thus. But
a lime went on a party sprang op in
the land having for its principles ten
ets antagonistic to tho theories of the
government and fatal to republican
institutions." At first weak as the
stream from some icy glacier of the
Rocky Mountains, it grew in power
and volume as it went on until in the J
end it becomes mighty as tbo Misis
ipp'a flood, and destroying as the
molten lava that flows from the vol
cano's side. From this, formerly tbe
Abolition, now tbe Radical party,
tbe noble work devieed by the fathers
is in present danger of destruction,
the great experiment instituted by
them in imminent peril of at Inst re
sulting in disastrous failure. If the
people be not now true to themselves
and to republicanism tho time must
soon come when the American republic
will take Us place in history with the
other abortive experiments in self-government
.
We cannot believe the citizens of
the United States any more ignorant
of the crisis in their national affairs
than were the men of the Eternal
City whon they saw the chief officers
of the Republic put up for sale to tho
highest bidder, or than were the
Athenians when the fierce I hillipics
of their great orator rang In their
ears ; bul, alas ! that v should have
cause to ay it, there aro signs among
our people of tho existence of alike
ratal apathy, ll, having the power
to save themselves and republicanism
from the fute with which Radicalism
mneaces thorn they tamclysubmit,the r
case is no bettor, and is even less hon
orable, than if tbey yielded to some
resistless conqueror. No right-thinking
man but would infinitely prefer,
it our republican institutions are to
be overturned, and despotism is to
take tbo place of freedom, that it
should be the work of a too powerful
foreign conqueror than of an ambi
tious and unprincipled home faction ;
for a in the one case w should feel.
after fit til resistance, that wo' but
yielded to an incvitablcdccrce of fate,
so in the other we should have tho
humiliation of knowing our misfor
tune to be our own fault. And vet
wo do not despair of the republic.
e trust that the fares of liberty still
smoulder in tho breasts of tbe people,
and wo are not without hone that
those fires may yet leap forth into a
conflagration that will consume alike
the treason and tho traitors. Perhaps
after all, the npparont indifference of
the people to the monstrous usurpa
tion of the Radical conspirator i
ratbor apparent than real, rathor duo
to the want of efficiency and boldness
on the part of tho Executive, than to
want ol spirit in the people. If this
be so, and there is much reason to In
duce the conclusion, thon are the Jac
obin traitors heaping up for themselves
wrath against the day of wrath. Lot

government established by the fathers

will yet bo fully vindicated by their
successors, notwithstanding the im
peachment and kindred projects.
If republicanism fail in America
ho will bo a bold man that will here
after urge another trial of it either on
(his continent or elsewhere. We owe
It aliko to ourselves and to mankind
at largo that we should resist the
revolutionary schemes of tho Radical

such capability, and put to confusion
