GRANT trig NNW YORK.. t .f-
The great meeting at the Cooper Institute,
in New York, last evening, vas a splendid
affair. The style of men who managed it,
and the tone of the. speeches which -advo
cated the nomination of Gen. Grant, will tell
powerfully upon • the whole Republican
party of the country. The great feature of
the occasion was the speech of General
Sickles. In an effort of great eloquence and
admirable argument, he gave an exposition
of General Grant's views which is the
strongest endorsement which the nomination
for the Presidency has yet received. Gene
ral Sickles defends the nomination of General'
Grant on the broadest Republican principles,
and the more distinctly those IninciPles
were enunciated the more hearty was the
response of his vast audience. His tribute
to Kr. Stanton, his defence of pongress, his
denunciation of Mr. Johnson, his assertion
of the • rights of all classes of
loyal men, Ids repudiation of
the policy which seeks to ignore the rebel
lion, all came in, in harmony , with his main
theme df General . Grant for the Presidency.
The speech is racy throughout. It cute right
and:left, and its pungent hits at the local
politics of New York are mingled with flying
shots at Philadelphia and hiassachusetts,
equally well-deserved. • ,
The other speeches of the eyening, espe
cially that of Mr. Tremaine. were in unison
with that of General Sickles, and we greati •
regret that timed space forbid our report
ing the proceedings in full. Mr. 'remain
concluded his speech by recommending that
the Union Convention construct a platform
of pile hickory timber, leaving out every
thing of copperisrn, and - Johnsonism, and for
Vice-President select such a man as shall, in
case of his succession to the Presidency, by
a dispensation of Providence, be a man who
could be relied on to preiierve the liberty of
the people.
GENEK AL HANCOCK.
General Hancock's administration of affairs
in the Fifth Military District is not likely to
add Much to his fame, if his first acts in
New Orleans are to be taken as specimens of
his administrative ability. General Mower,
having been left in command of the depart,
meat, after Sheridan's removal,. appears to
have carried out the policy of his former
chief in removing "impediments." General,
lianeock, with a haste that precludes the
possibility of his havinz given any serious
examination to the cases of removal, • .com
menced, two days after his arrival, to undo
General Mower's work. Arriving on Friday
evening in New Orleans, on Monday morn
ing he first tried his reconstructive
hand on couple___of policemen,
who had been ' removed by General
Mower. The public neither knows why
these two high public functionaries were re
moved by Mower, nor why they were so
hastily reconstructed by Hancock. But as
their restoration to office was at once fol
lowed by an order relieving General Mower
and ordering him to his regiment, it looks
like a determination on the part of the new
military commander to inaugurate a policy
less in accordance with that of Congress and
General Sheridan, and more in harmony with
the "My Policy" of Andrew Johnson. Fol
lowing the initial move of General Hancock,
in which be tried his "prenticehand" on a
brace of police-officers, comes the order, on
the same day, removing Judge Cutler, and
ru-instating Judge Cazebot in the Second
Judicial District of Louisiana.
General Hancock's friends and the public
at large must not be over-hasty in deciding
the policif which that officer intends to pur
sue. It is, of course, quite probable that in
the particular cases in
,point, Mower may
have been quite wrong and Hancock quite
right. But it will be a most unfortunate
thing for General Hancock if he shall be be
trayed into jeoparding bisfine military fame
by now making himself the ally of Kr.
Johnson and the patron of the rebels of
Louisiana. His course will be watched by
his friends at the North with anxious scru
tiny and with an earnest hope that he will
act wisely, loyally and well, in the difficult
and responsible post which he now holds.
ABOUT GOIGD WATCUL:cS7.
Just as straws show which way the wind
blows, gold watches may be taken an'in
dication of the growth of our city. In fact,
northward and westward the march' of gold
watches takes its way, and in districts where
only pinchbeck time-keepers and bull's-eye
repeaters marked the hours forty years ago,
gold chronometers and full-jeweled levers
now nestle in multitudinous vest-pockets.
To be more explicit, the returns of the gold
watches in the city, made with a view to
local taxation for 1868, are now-gathered in.
The aggregate is 13,625 time pieces, against
4,489 for 11367. Where this Increase of 9,136
comes from is a subject for speculation
We do not propose to explain away this
rudder), increase; but possibly the fact that
gold *itches are taxattle under the United
states Revenue laws, and that the returns to
the revenue officials are required to be made
under oath, may have had something to do
with the fuller returns made to the
,city
Assessor& In many of the Wards the dif
ference between 1867 and 1868 is'something
marvellous. Many Wards multiplied their
)44 preeeeding return five, ten and. even,
1 0.1-titnes,' while the First, Third, Eighteenth
Au 6 Twenty 7 eighth Wards which were
goldlatcbless a year fig% now admit
peaelsnient of having within Weir
tfinii.:pieces nuinbering froml43
to;,' 450irt each Ward. Whether there are kola
i4BlikfrOlociiiiiluttb3 per Ward who have
la)caine sufficiently "finale' 'within the past
tielve-nsonth to line - their maiden watch
** Witbgalat or Variiiipr a stricter assess.
toent is to (tumult for the difretenee, is, we
repeat, a mblem.
t , New , as regards the, gold watch as an, etri- ,
&nee of thegrow th of the city. Forty years
ago a careful census of all the gold watchesin
town would have shown that most citizens
who then indulged in the luxury of carrying
this description of time-keeper, resided withiti
the limits of the present Fifth and Sixth .
Wards. There wore well-to-do and wealthy
familleS who resided in the eastern portion
of the limits of the present Settnth and
Eighth Wards, and who carried Aden re
minders of the flight of time; but trick and
lumber yards, stables' and' shanties are not
prolific of gold watchea; and as the greater
portion of the Wards htst named were thus
occupied, with a slight dash of canal-boat,
ing, the gold watch returns from that direc
tion Would have been slim. Some of the
stout Detchmen in the Northern Liberties,
who had brewed and baked to some purpose,
would have shown their golden "turnips"
forty years ago ; but the rank and tile
would either have been watehless, or they
would have exhibited something approxi
mating, to Captain Cuttle's colossal silver
affair, which he always set going by giving I
it some hearty thumps upon the table,
and which he kept right by setting it an hour
or two backwards or forwards; as the case
might be, each morning and afternoon.
Then there were Kensington and Southiark,
with -a few lucky ship-builders and truck
farmers to make a display of stylish repeat
ets; but the field was not prolific, and the
returns from those districts would have been
}titan. As for the Thirteenth, Fourteenth.
Fifteenth and Twentieth Wards the chances
for chnonometers, with cases from the coast
of Guinea, would have been particularly
smalL Slaughter houses, duck ponds, cab
bage gardens, Potter's fields, hanging grounds
and brick yards, did not yield much in the
gold watch line in 1527.
1267 tells a different story. The Fifth and
Sixth Wards combined have but :.01 gold
watc.hes,,:rwhile the Seventh and Eighth
Wards, that were in the main given over to
brick ponds and tumble-down shanties forty
years ago, now return 2,247. The Thirteenth
Ward, which was almost entirely in
the slaughter-house interest forty years
'ago,
"now returns 1,097 gold watches,
figure which is "congderably mere
ithan double that of the Fifth and Sixth
Wards combined. The Fifteenth Ward,
which takes in the old hanging-ground at
Bush-hill, and which did not have much else
to distinguish it in 1827, now turns out 1,531
gold watehes,which, taken as an evidence of
the westward progress of civilization and
luxury is a very handsome exhibit against
the 501 of the Fifth and Sixth Wards com
bined, which represented the substantial
Philadelphia of the last generation.
The Fifteenth Ward makes the largest re
turn of gold watches, and it could scarcely
help so doing if it were to try, for it is in the
direct high road of the city's increase and
improvement. The Twentieth Ward looms
up with its 1,026 watches, while all others
Of the new and flouri=shing Wards show, by
their returns, their progress in the way of
prosperity and gold-wsttchdom. It will, of
course, be understood that the Bu tirrni does
not consider any individual either better or
worse for the possession of a gold watch ; and
it only urges gold 'watches, and the progress
thereof, as the strews which indicate in what
direction and to what extent the substantial
prosperity of the city is tending.
The firemen bave settled the question of
the succession of Chief Engineer Lyle by
making choice of Terrence McCasker, of
the Moyamensing Hose Company. Mr. Mc
lusker is a Man of nerve, and his conduct
when the American Theatre was burned
proved his eminent fitness to meet a grave
mersevey. He saw that the falling out of
the front wall of the theatre wad.. a probable
contingency, and when his admonitions to
the crowd to get out of the way of danger
failed, be turned a stream of water from a
Lose-pipe upon them. At this same disas
trous conflagration be proved himself equal
to the occasion by staving the liquor casks in
the bar-room of the theatre, when he found
that his subordinates were making too free
draughts upon them. With such a head as
Chief Engineer blcCusker promises to be,
and with such splendid material as there is
in the Fire Department of Philadelphia, we
only need to reorganize the department on
the simple and just plan of paying men for
their services, to make it one of the most ef
fective in the world.

Boller Explosion and Fire.
FALL, RI% nu i Dec. s.—The main building of
the Prltit Works, in this city, was de
stroyed by fire at half-past 6 o'clock this morn
ing. • It contained six printing machines, and a
large quantity of printed goods unfinished.
The fire was caused by the %plosion of the
steam-boiler. The boiler-how° WU entirely de
molLshed and the boiler thrown a dit4ance of 200
yards. Another boiler was driven through the
wall of the main building, which was of stone
and two feet thick. making a breach 40 feet wide
'and the entire height of the building.
- Two or three other boilers vrerebiown into the
air, and descending on the roof of the dye-house,
smashed it in completely. fica'ruly had the ex
plosion occurred when the entire building was in
flames.
The other'bnildings connected with the estab
lisment were saved. Henry Pierce, the foreman,
who was sitting in front of the boiler, was blown
out by the concussion, and a mass of material
fell upon him, breaking his ribs and braising
him severely.
Hannah Murphy, aged 18 years, who waspasa
ing the Works,was struck by a flying missile and
sustained a fracture of the skull.
A house was also struck by a portion of the
exploded boiler, and badly shattered. The in
mates narrowly escaped with their lives.
From Fortress Monroe.
FORTRY:ss Mormor., December ad.—The fire at
Portsmouth, Virginia, on Saturday :"evening,
broke out in the grocery store of H.G. Brinkley,
at the corner of Crawford and King streets. It
originated by a colored man drawing kerosene
oil from a barrel and accidentally letting a can
dle fall on the floor, igniting some oil, which set -
the whole store in flames. The fire departments
of Pertsmouth and Norfolk were promptiy on
the spot and rendered very efficient service,
assisted by the steamer Torrent from the Gos
port Navy. Yard. If they had
not been on aid so promptly the loss of pro
perty would nave Mem very great. 31r. Breakley's lost• is estimated at $1.000; 'wined for , a' 1.000.
The building was owned by Mr. J. M. Bleford,
and v. as.valui d at $6.000, lesured in the Virtonie
Mutual Insurance Company, and is a total toss.

irg, as she was peeling into the harbor at Crie-

ject of the meeting, and concluded by introdn
deg Ex-Governor Vance, of North Carolina,

Carolinas. He was very severe on the RidiAl
°raters, who have been stumping the South for
political purposee,and charged them with , engen
dering hatred between the black and white races.
He closed his remarks with a stirring appeal to

The Argument for Impeachment.
His View's on SuspelWion.
1116. llontsten on Impeachment.
Moods' Despatch to the Prinadelphia Evenbus Bulletin.]
WAsnrserois, Dec. 5.---The galleries were ,
again crewded to-day, In anticipation of the de
bate on impeachment. After the expiration of
the morning hour, the House „,proceeded to the
emote/cruet:lt of the majority report of the Judi
chtry Committee on the subject of impeachment.
Mr. Boutwell, of Massachusetts, obtained the
floor, and addressed the House at great length.
The following is an, abstract of his speech: Mr.
Boutwell said—"ln opening this cease to the
House, I shall confine myself to a. concise pm
sentation of the views which the occa
sion imperatively demands at my
hands,, , giving no rein whatever to
those efforts and forms of speech which men, in
similar circumstances, have Often freely em
ployed with great propriety and power. The
gravity of the occasion is unusual, leading men,
as it ought, to exercise great care in
_speech and action, but not inducing
us to swerve, in any manner, from
the line of duty. It is one of the incidents of
public life that public men are called
to take responsibility, but it is one of
the achievements of life to meet and
bear successfully such responsibility when
tendered by eircumstances or events. It is not
strange that a sensitive and conscientious peiblic
opinion shrinks from a proceeding so solemn in
its character, the end of which men cannot foresee.
In one scale they place all the present material
and political interests of the country, and in the
other the project for the removal of a President
who has fifteen months only of official life. If
this were a full statement of the case,
and these were no consequences of evil likely to
f0110w, 5 1 certainly should not hesitate to yield to
the suggestions which invite us to leave the
President where he is. In the first place, the
impeachment of the President ' does
not invoke any .neglect of the
questions and subjects to , which the atten
tion of the country is largely directed. In any
event, Conc:russ vs - ill have time to deal with
all . these questions, and it ;will
deal with them, undoubtedly, ' with
a reasonable degree of. success. On the other
side, if the conclusions of the majority of the
committee are correct, then we arc charged
with a grave duty, concerning the country
in all Its material and political
interests during the present administration, and
furnishing an example affecting ; favorably 'or
unfavorably. the fortunes of the country in all
future tirri&' • .
The speaker then proceeded to discuss quite
fully the idea as to whether the President could
be suspended during trial, denying that Congress
had the power under the Constitution to suspend
the President, by a law or otherwise. These
were grave questions, but the Constitu
tion must be adhered to in all
its forms, and it would not be necessary, in the
opinion of the speaker, even if that right
was possessed, to avail themselves of
it. Everything depended upon the law,
and if, as claimed by the minority,
tli
the law will not sustain the charges made by e
majority or the Committee , then there is HO ca
whatever against the President, and it must fa .
The attention of the Comimttce was
directed almost constantly to the nature
and extent of the power et impeachment, as it
exists under the Constittitiornand the practice of
the British Parliament from the earliest historical
times to the beginning of the present century.
The experience of England affords much in
struction, and something of warning, In reference
to proceedings by impeachment, but it does not
furnish precedents which ought to control, or in
a large degree to influence, the House of Repre
sentatives acting under. the Constitution.
The speaker then proceeded to discuss•the four
clauses in• the Constitution relating to impeach
ment, declaring that they were not in
tended merely to punish criminals, but
to remove from office persons unfit
for offices of trust, or parties charged with an act
tainted with criminality. The object of im
peachment Is not to punish, but to secure the
euuntry against the presence of . the
effer.ders in any place of trust or
power in future. If the judgment of the Senate
were a punishment, then the seventh paragraph
of the third section, first article of the Consti
tution, which provides that the party
convicted shall, nevertheless, be liable and
subject to indictment, trial, judgment and
punishment according to law, would be wholly
inconsistent with the nature of our institntions.
This phrase of the constitution has been
drawn aside, or rather torn from its
legitimate connections and office, for
the purpose of furnishing a proof
to the doctrine that those acts that are indis
pensable and those alone are impeachable of
fences. The true and different meaning of
the phnase is easily understood. Its office was
to change the common law practice of England.
By that law, a person convicted by
the House of Lords; upon proceeding
by impeachment, could plead that conviction
atd sentence in case of an indictment in a
criminal Court for the same offence. Thejudg
ment of the Rouse of Lords Carried a
punishment with it entirely dis
tinct from removal from office.
. _
In England removal from office was au incident
or consequent of the proceeding, while its main
object, as in ordinary' criminal trials, was the
punishment of the guilty party.
The speaker then proceeded to compare very
fully the method of proceedings for impeachment
under our laws with those of Great Britain,
claiming that, under the provision of the Consti
tution, there are offences which are
impeachable, when they are `not
indictable. Ile further. .'ditcussed what-
. -
constituted "high crimes and misdemeanors"
and other impeachable offences. He showed
where these words were derived from, and
where they were inserted into our constitution,
and that they must at that time have been
perfectly understood by the framers of that in
strument, and that by the construction ascribed
to them at that period must we accept them
now. Treason is one of the impeachable
offences which is defined by the Constitution,
and Congress has not the power to enlarge the
limit or in any degree to qualify, the jurisdiction
of the Senate when sitting as alCourt for the
trial of the President. While Congress does not
declare what constitutes high crimes • and misde
meanors, it; limits the definition of the clime
of treason to a single ono of
these forms. It is 'impossible
for Congress to make certain offences crimes
and iniseemeauors everywhere in the United
States the same,as Congress has not power to pro
vide for the punishment of Ile (Ante of murder.
It is limited to forts and ars'enals t and tolthe Dis
trict of Columbia and the Territories of the United
States. A eiyil officer might be guilty of murder
within tholuYisdiction of any State - Where crime
is not and cannot be . punishable by law,
and Coil„rPress, both. house and Senate,
would be ' linable to remove hiM
from office. At the present moment no law
exists which declares that it shall be a hi,') crime
or misdemeanor for the President to decline to
recognise Convene, and yet, should he decline
to recognuAe :Its ' lawful 'and constitutional
existence and authorit), , , and thus . virtually disi-'
solve the Government, would Congress be impo:,..

• Mr. Boutwell continued : "After most careful
deliberation, I rest firmly in the opinion
that the phrase 'bribery and other high crimes ,
nuti.misdemeanors, ? is 'need, in the Constitution
- lii accordance with and subjectlo the principle
and rule of reason which lie at the foun
dation of the English Common
law of crimes. This rule is that no person
can lawfully do an act contrary to good morals;
and subjecting the provisions of the Constitution
to this rule, the *unit is that neither the Freed
-
dent, Vice President, nor any civil officer, can
lawfully do any act, either official or otherwise,
that IS contrary to the good morals of the office
he holds."
The speaker then quoted quite largely from
great jurists, English and American, as to - the
law bearing upon cases similar to the'one' under
discussion, and the whole argument was to prove
that the law sustained the position assumed by
the majority of the committee, and rendered
their case a clear one. .
-Mr. Boutwell then preceeded to consider, the
facts in the ease and analysed the charges
against the President, his acts, his Cabinet
advisers, his motives, his speeches, his
messages, his . interference .- to I prevent
the adoption .of the 'Cons utional
Amendment, his surrender of abandon . lent%
his removal of Stanton, Sheridan and SLekles,
and then closed es follows: "Bu sir in conchs
sion,
lam prepared to aceept the judgment of
this House as a patriotic judgment. I shall
wait for 'the teaching of events. I
do not despair of a great people. They can en
dure trials; they can overcome obstacles. They
will assert, finally, the - authority of .justice and
the majesty of the law. Let nothing be
done under the influence—of passion, pre
judice or political excitement; but the
vindication of the laws is a duty, and it
often falls to the lot of a party to perform it.
M own convictions are clear. I see my
country first emerging from civil war, dis
tracted, torn, and bleeding; her people
heavily taxed, and the public revenue plundered;
her currency depredated; her credit impaired,
so that in the market of Europe she is associated
with Anstria,Turkey and Spain; million's ofpeo
pie but recently in rebellion, still bold, defiant,
aggressive; and millions more,loyal, dutiful and
hopeful too. Even when peril menaces, after
two years of struggle, we are still without secu
rity, and all this, I believe, is in consequence of
the doings and designs of the President of the
United'States. Can I hesitate? Can I yield
judgment to.circumstances which in the nature
of the case utast be tempeirary ? I will not ask
this House , to do its dp,ty.,- That would not be
decorous in me. It will do its duty, add
its duty will have been equally
performed, whether the results harmonize with
my judgment or not. But,. sir, I may look be
yona the present moment, and assume that to
be done • which upon my judgment and
conscience ought to be done. Consider
how all the attairs of the country would
be changed and improved. Civil government
.would ,be • restored speedily to the States; the
civil rights of all the people re
wont* ~ cognized
le
and made secure. The loyal me
-government, exer
else the great privilege of • se -government,
safe in their own power and in the
benign protection of the National Government.
Those recently in rebellion mould soon be re
stored to all their political privileges. Industq
would be . honored and well recompensed;
production - consumption and trade im
mensely l eveloped; the , revenue of the
country collected; public, plundering
no longer protected and practiced as an art; taxes
reduced; public credit so improved that the ques
tions dependjng upon the value of our currency
would be settled without disturbances er violent
legislation; the - army reduced and the . power of
the nation so augmented and every
where respected as that a single ship
of war would protect the commerce
of the Mediterranean or of the Gulf of Mexico.
These things are not and cannot now be, because
the President is not clear in his . . high office, dis
regarding as he does the injunctions of the
Constitution upon him, to take care that the
laws be faithfully executed. , So mighty Is
the machinery. of the Government that the
weight of the President's hand upon the eeutral.
lover affects the fortunes of every citizen. With
a hundred and fifty million in the Treasury an%
unlimited power to accumulate or disburse, a nod
of his bead makes his friends prosper, while his
enemies perish in the presence 6f his power; and
surrounded as we are; with evidences of the evil
result of a policy which we have--so long
tolerated but never approved, are we to.
hesitate; to delay, to abandon the field in
the hope that by' other means and by other
agencies a final redemption of the nation is to
be secured? Believing that Andrew Johnson
is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors, I have
assented to and by the direction of the majority
of the Committee on. the Judiciary. reported a
resolution for his impeachment. This resolu
tion I drew up upon - my conscience and best
judgment. In contemplation cif the hew 'and
upon the facts I believe, him so goillY,
and thereon I ask a- judamcnt of the House. •'
