ROBERT BUCHANAN how 1 Got Acquainted With Buhaver. aranalated for the Cincinnati Commercial. rom the Girr man Daheirmi Many of my readers will doubtless remem ber the time when there was no family of some culture in Germany that had not read all of Bulwer's romances. "Eugene Aram," "Pelham," "The Pilgrims on the Rhine," "Cola di Rienzi," "The last days-of Pom peii," and especially "Night and Morning," were at"that time more popular . in Germany than the noblest works of Schiller, Grain and Lessing. I was a youth at that time, and, having heard so much about Bulwer's books, I was perfectly familiar with their titles without ever having read them. Years passed, and although I swallowed many novels since then; I happened never to have read a word written by Bulwer. One day I was at Genoa, and while await ing the hour when the steamer would start for Marseilles, I sauntered through the streets, and stopped at last in front of a large cart, on which, as is customary in Italy, second-band books were offered for sale. I opened several of the Volumes, threw them down again, opened-others, in short, I did everything Omit a dealer in second-hand , "books,7iss - to bear a hundred times daily, and which every time drives him to despair. 'Suddenly ',happened to see a German book; I looked at the title; it was a.German trans littler,. of Bulwer's "Night and Morning," bat only the second volume. "Have you got the - first part!" I inquired. "Look among the boas, if it is there," was the reply, for these dealers who buy their books as waste paper, never know what books they have got. I looked—looked— but did not find the first volume. Suddenly I heard one of the many persons that were standing around the cart asking in rather broken Italian, "Have you got the second voltime of this work?" "Look among the Woks, if it is there," was the reply. glanced at the volume which he held in his hand, and .the binding showed me imme diately that he had the first volume of "Night and Morning," afar which I had been lookingw "Excuse me!" -I addressed hith. in German,b t`Offr researches seem to cross each other." "Non' eapisep, Signore," (I do not under stand you, sir,) he replied, cast the volume on the cart, and left. "What a funny felj , Iow!" I murmured to myself. "He wants to biiy a Geniaan translation of Bulwer, and does not understand any German. I bought the two volumes for 24 soldi, and went oil board the steamer. I can assure the reader that I seldom read a book with greater in terest; we had already half our trip behind us, when I finished it, and went, profoundly moved, on deck. The first person whom I met there was the stranger who had wished to buy the second volume of the translation. Hemp a tall man, whose exceedingly pale • fees possessed a more marked expression of aristocratic refinement than I had ever seen before. Ile seemed to recognize me—l do not 'know whether by my appearance, or by the books which I held yet in my hand, for be gave a start, came to me, lifted his hat a little, and said in French: "Did you buy the work?" "I did," I replied. "Will you , sell it again ?" "I will not." "Par don!.." Re turned his back on me and con tinued his walk. When we met again I ad dressed him: "If you like to read the book during the trip it is at your disposaL""Aferci,' he replied, coldly,. "I only want to buy the two volumes, anti offer you three times as much as • you paid for them." It was my turn now to turn my back on him, and dining the remainder of the trip 1 did not ex change another - word with him. Other passengers told me he had offended them likewise, by his abrupt and exceed ingly supercilious bearing. I resolved to avenge the company on this gentleman. By means of a small sum of money Iprevailed on the steward to slip the two' volumes (to which I attached no value, since I had read them) into the 'bided shawl of the stranger. On the fly-leaf of the first Volume I. had written 'En sour/ uit des `ugreabkB re latiO7lN‘ (WC 110118 (wow? eves star le bateau ,(ii)( ur Li; rekv•C (lc Oates a' Mil 1.- !" memory of our' agreeable rela tions on board of the steamer Veloce, during the trip from Genoa to Marseilles). I added my initials to these words. After our dis embarkation 1 did not ineet any more the singular stranger, who. despite his want of politenes , , had made a deep impression on. me. And again, after years had elapsed, and I hod long since forgotten this insiguilicani event in, my traveling life. liiilwefs name was midenly forced on my mind in 9. Very clliiolll3 manner,' and I was reminded agtin of that meeting at Genoa and on board of the steamer. At the house where I lived, in Londob, V7lly a parlor, in which the boarders met often in the morning or at night. I had repeatedly seen there - a young German mer chant " but had got only so little acquainted with him that I was not u little astonished when, one morning, he hastened to and said to me. "Have you at this moment twenty-five grdneasat your disposal, so that you could . save a man from insanity or saieide?" I .re plied in the negative. He took his hat and caneand turned, with n blank look of de tipah., 'to ' We : door; but he, s•ahlaity Caine ' bai.:k affil said: "It is not for myself, but for : 4,;0144, - i-j ---; -, whb lives at this house;" and' he waked al I was ,at A logs what to think of tlia application. , It is tree, 1 knew there4Amat this noose a liungarlin refugee, 'who , lio - -tiekr.i introduced to me as Coupt 4 i..1-----,, !int Wirt was Wt. - Lie had withdrawn i froinfimp vet, sOme sort or afectation 'on hftcrihg . ,thiA .

He did so, shook hands with me, and set out. A quarter of an hour afterward the landlady informed me that a gentleman wished to see me, as she had told 'him that Count.G„had authorized me to re ceive letters, &c., destined for him. She handed me the card of the visitor, and to my great surprise 1. • read on it, "Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer, Baronet." I hastened down to the parlor, opened the door and recognized at a glance, despite the many years which had elapsed since then, my proud fellow traveler. on board of the Veloce. "Where is Count G-- ?" he said to me hastily.- "He left half an' hour ago." g „ • "Are you' afriend of his?" "No." And I told him how he came to request me to receive a letter destined for,, him. .2 The celebrated novelist ran untisily up and down, but suddenly recovering his presence of mind, he said : . "This is an affair in which an hour's delay i I may, 'Cost a human life. Pray, as soon as the Count sends yott his address, come to min.: you will be admitted,, immediately, Let me have your name, that you may not be turned away.' • I gaveshim my name, and he ' left me in great excitement. My countryman, the mer chant, was not a little surprised when I told him of all this, and envied me the acquain tance of the great poet,. whichal. was - about to make. But I was unable to obtain from' him an explanation of the sudden departure and affairs of the Hungarian Count. The next day I received from Folkestone a letter, in which the Count requested me to forward his letters, &c., to Dresden, under the address of "Frederick Seld." I took a hack and rode to Bulwer. All houses in Loudon are ash-colored and gloomy, but the, ancient building on the corner of IJyde Park' ;and a long, narrow, and sombre street, 'in which the most aristocratic novelist in Europe resides, made I the most disagreeable impression on me. It is built in a strange, medieval style, which is oppressive to the beholder, .' and is placed in a corner, in ..such,a-maaner 1 that no sunbeam has illuminated its largest part since it was erected. An elegant carriage was at the door,which was open,and through which a strange noise penetrated to me. 1 After alighting and approaching the door, I I heard two idlers at the deer saying to each other, "I am sure the mad lady is there again ?", Almost at the v .same moment a rather corpulent lady, in en elegant hat en tirely disarranged toilette, rushed out of the *door: I believe I never before saw a 'redder face than hers. It was scarlet, and as polished as a mirror. :If I had been a physician, I should have seized add • bled her. She, gesticulatedterribly, jumped into the carriage, and shouted to the coach-. man, "Bow street police court!" The two men had withdrawn,to the wall, close to me. I asked one of them if he knew the lady. .He replied that it was the eccentric wife of the poet, who, separated from him for many years.past, was . pursuing him like an evil genius , publishing . pamphlets against him,' a and had • charged him at least ten times already with having made a murderous , aseault upon her. He said that she had twice already been an inmate . of the lunatic asylum, but had always managed to recover her liberty. She was doubtless riding to the police court, at this moment, in order to pre fer against her husband another charge, -which. his political and literary affverearies would certainly turn to account. . „. _ I hesitated to enter ths house, but I re : solved quickly to do so, as I heard in the interior of the house the voice of a footman, who called to somebody in the court-yard to have the earriage - brought to the door. As I was afraid lest Bulwer should ride out, I entered, and was immediately conducted by the footman, to•whont I gave my .name, into the cabinet of his master. He was seated, wrapped in a huge dressing-gown, at his writing-table, leaning his head on one hand, and drying with the other the tears .of a young man of twenty-two, who seemed to ' have fallen into an easy chair rather than sat down,,in it. So great was his - resem blance tb the novelist that I saw at a glance that it was his son. No sooner had the old man seen me than he rose and took the Count's letter which handed to him. is: He glanced over it, and, le his eyes were fixed on the paper, I time to read in his features the bitterest grief which I had ever noticed in a man's face. The scene which l,had witnessed in the street gave me the key to his livid face:- "It is too late," he said, in a husky voice, "the Count has made an utterlyuseless journey. Tell, hint to return as soon as possible. I shall at all times be at his disposal." He waved his hand to me, and although I felt excetalingly desirious of embracing the op portunity and staying yet a few minutes in the cabinet of the celebrated novelist, yet '[ felt, after the scene which had just taken place, that the presence of a stranger could not but be disagreeable to him; therefore I have bowed, and was about to leave the room, when he suddenly said to me:- "I believe I had already, at some former time, the plea sure of seeing you." "On the Veloce, during the trip from Genoa to Marseilles, eight years ago," 1. replied. "Yes, yes," he said, and a f Sipa played around his lips, "I remember Atte present which - you made to me, and which was very dear to me, for I had once seen the same copy in the hands el Nicholas tenet!, your great and un• tbrtint at e poet. I ' wonder how the two vol umes came on the Barrochino in .Genoa. I suppose you would not have so generously complied wilt' my wish if you had known the meaning of the initials 'N. V. S.'

"Ito you know it already?" I asked. "1 know all," he interrupted me; "Cc ant G. carat: too late.

' "I do not un derstand a word of what you say," I ex claimed. - Discretion is now unnecessary," he said, handing me a copy of the Tim< 8, and pointing his finger to a telegraphic de „pateh. •I read: • ' , `C:(4‘irit Ladislaus 'Teleky, on whom sea= .terfce pfttliith had been passed in Austria, t•llaa..baar arrested in Dresden by , the Saxon Government, and is to be delivered to the Austrians.” . . • "('omit G." he said,aftcr I had read the dis pateh,"liad got wind of it; he could not write or telegraph; as the Saxon - Government • w weld have seized, Ms lettere and telegrams. lie had to go to Dresden end 'beano money.

The America of the Future. [From the Atlantic Monthly forpecembpn ] • r As one looks forward to the America of fifty years hence, the malli , source of anxiety appears to be hi a - prObable excess of pros r- fifty Mt in the Want of a good grievance. We Aeera nearly at the tifld of those great public wrongs which require a special moral earthquake to end them. Exceptto Milre the ballot for woman—a contest which is thus far advancing very peaceably—there seems nothing left which need be absolutely fought for: no great influence to keep, us from a commonplace and perhaps debasing . success. There will, no doubt, be still need of the Statesman to ad just the details of government, and of the clergyman to keep an eye on private morals, including his own. There will also be so cial and - religious changes, perhaps great ones; but there are no omens of any very fierce upheaval. And seeing the educational value to this generation of the reforms for which it has contended, and especially of the anti-slavery enterprise, one must feel an im pulse of pity for our successors, who seem likely to have no convictions that they can ' • , °neatly .be mobbed for. Can we spare these great tonics? ' It is the experience of history that allsreligious bodies are purified by persecution, and materialized 1 by peace. No amount of accumulated virtue has thus far saved the merely devout commu .nities from deteriorating, when let alone, into comfort and good dinners. This is most no ticeable in detached organizations—Rora vians, Shakers, Quakers, Ronian Catholics— they all go the same way at last. When per secution and missionary toil are over, they enter on a tiresome millenium of meat and, pudding. To guard against this spiritual obesity, this carnal Eden, what has the next f,age in reserve for us? Suppose forty millions of perfectly healthy and virtuous Americans, what is to keep them from being as 'sfiiinte rpting as so many Chinese? I know of nothing but that aim which is the Climax and flower of all civilization, without which purity itself grows dull and devotion tedious—the pursuit of science and art. Give to all this nation peace, freedom, prosperity and even virtue, still there mast be some absorbing interest, some career. That career can be sought only in two directions—more and yet more material prosperity •on the one side, science and art on the other. Every man's aim must either be riches or some thing better than riches. Now the wealth is to be respected and desired, nor need any thing be said against it. And certainly nothing need be said in its behalf, there is such a vast chorus of voices steadily ochu pied in proclaiming it. The instincts of the Americind will - take care of that; but to advocate alternative career, the striving of the le nature after something utterly apart from this world's wealth—it is for this ,end that a stray voice is needed. It will not takb long; the clamor of the market will re-, absorb us to-morrow. OXTAIL DAY GOODS. T.

Four members of the Convention who voted and protested against the Constitution, made speeches, pledging their hearty co operation lathe effort to defeat the Constitution. The State Execrative Committee recommends the organi zation of Conservative clubs throughout the State, and active efforts are being made to defeat the Consti tution. The protesting members of the Convention declare that they believe any government Maned -in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution adopted by the Convention, will entail upon the peo ple of -the State greater evils than any which now threaten- them. The Conyention to-day adopted a memorial to Con gress requesting an altemtion or amendment of the 150 ae to require only a majority of registered vo ters voting ou the question to determine for or against The adoption of the Constitution., Anordluaacewas passed to protect elections.

CONCLUSSON OF YESIIICADAIet3 I.ItAXME:DING9 House of Repreilentatives. MB. witsolis Briszcil. Mr. Witsori, of lowa, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee obtained the floor, and proceeded to ad dress the house against the impeachment resolution. He said that the gentleman from Massachusetts had made out a much better case than the record made out, but he presumed it was fair for him to conclude that the judgment of the House would be based on the record, and that was all that be deal:ed. The gen. , tleman (Mr. Bentwell) had consumed halfof his time in a determined and persistent attack on the feature of the minority report, which, so far as the proceeding was concerned, might be stricken from the record without effecting the case in the remotest degree. Pia member of the minority of the committee re garded the doctrine that'only crimes and misdemeanor indictable tinder the statutes of the, United States would justify impe,achment as of the elighest import ance, So far as the correct determination of this quation was concerned the minority affirmed ,the doctrine tat,correct, although it was antr a dam in to the report rather 718 It animation than as a declaration of law. It was immaterial what opinions members might have on it, he would let it rest on the argument contained in the minority report, and wait for some person to ana,wer it when a caw shoidd arise in which it might be important; nevertheless he challenged the gentleman from Massachusetts to give to thetiouse a/ single instmee wherein the English House of Lord% had crossed the path of the report of the minority case similar to this. The posit! n which the minortty occupied was, that no civil 01 .. of the , Thlked Stated could,•tie lawfully,' impeached except for a crime or Misdemeanor known to the law, and he wouldgive the, gentleman from ; Museacbusetts an opportunity of bringing_ in common Itilv,'statute law Or parliamentarY , law. .. I le , reminded ; the, getiletrian team MOSSchasetts at he (Mr. Boat ' well) had signed the report at the Reconstractlm I Committee, seserting that in some of the matters on which he how elaimedimpeaehment, the Prealdertt had Zil?ti:DOilli ligglVA bnt 4ll : l 4 POlttel , ' gi , 0 1 44 W 4 1100) . . ~ . =Fml=3l7mllwi l was not here to defend the President; he must be a bold than who would do that. For himself he had not sufficient boldness, elan if he had the inclination; but he was not prepared to say that a committee so able, so pertinacious, so thorough as the Committee on Re construction, was wrong when It declared that. the Preeldent !mid been actuated by no improper motives in the very acts for which the House was now asked to impeach him. .As to the surrender of property to Southern railroads, he disposed of all the argument on that point by show ing that it was done, not by the President, but by Sec retary Stanton, and, from motives of great public pol icY, tockpen the channels of trade and commerce. Re ferring to the intimation of Mr. Boutwell that soldiers would be used to prevent the blacks from voting in the South, Mr-Wilson remarked that the Honse was asked to impeach the President of high crimes and misde meanors because it was feared he might do something wrong.' • Ile thought, however, that the House would determine whether the President had already commit. ted high crimes and misdemeanors, not whether, be might possibly do so at some time in the future.. • The case would be tried on the record, and on that he was willing to take the vote of the House. In conclnsion, betaid, I believe the country desires to have the case dienoseklef now: they geelre to have it out of the way, either by sending articles of impeach ment to the Senate at once; or laying the whole subject on the table. I believe that the people of the country desire that we shall have done with this sub bject, in order that we may give our kuldivided attention to other matters, and, there foie, having thne gone hastily and briefly and im pezfectly over the long argumentof the gentleman from Diaesachusetts. and depending .on the strength of the case as presented in the minority report or rather de nending on the weakness of the case, as it is found in the record. I move that the subject be laid on the table. Although it was generally understood that this mo tion you'd be made. by Mr. Wilson, it caused much excitement among. the members who were , in favor of impeactrient, and a brim of disapprobation came from them. • • S'rEvnws, of P'ennsylvtnia, expressed the hope that Mr. Wilton would not ask , a vote on his mo tion. It was the most extraordinary thing he ever heard of. The tizzaxam reminded Mr. Stevens that tho mo tion wag not debatable. - - - Mr. FARNSWORTH, of Illinois, desired to know as parlininentafy question, whether if this were laid on the table that it would prevent any member from calling it up again as a privileged question,and moving,;the im peachment of the President. The SPEAKER replied that if this subject were now laid on the table no member could call it up as a privi lege dqueation, but any member could propose the im peachment of the President. or any other civil officer at any time, even though that officer bad already bee' prcltnited to the Senate, tried and acquitted. Mr. SerrEnCK intimated, jocularly, a desire to know whether it would be in order, in connection with the motion to lay on the table, to propose that a gold medal should he presented to Andrew Johnson. The Srcencn replied, seriously, that the motion was not debatable. Mr. LOGAN desired to ask a question, but did not get the opportunity. He thereupon took the floor, and moved - that the House do now adjourn. Mr. MayeanD, of Tennessee, moved that when the House adjourn to-day it adjourn to meet on Monday. On that motion the yeas and nays were called and the vote resulted--yeas,. 62; nays, 105. Then the vote wa& taken on Mr. Logarie motion, that the House do" tow adjourn, and it resulted yeas rst. nays 107. These two votes indicated the relative strength of the impeachers and anti-impeachers. Mr. SCHENCK moved that when the House adjourned today it adjourn to meetat half-past eleleven o'clock to-morrow. The SPEAKER reminded him that that reotion would require unanimous consent. the hour of meeting being fixed by rule. Mr. geIIENCK then modified the motion so as to ad journ till Monday. and remarked that as that was a very important motion, he would, have to aslethe yeas and nays. The motion was negatived-50 to 106. Mr. SCHENCK then asked unanimous consent of the House forlaimself and Mr. Logan to occupy five minutes each in explanation of their position. Then the matter could be disposed of by the House without further opposition on their part. Mr. RANDALL, of Pennsylvania, obi:ected. Mr. Sensnesthen moved a call of the House. Mr. Itomesoe, of New York, rising to a parliament try question, said, inasmuch as the leadingcharge against the President is that he is obstructing the action of Congress, andinasmuch as under the Consti tution a member of Congress is a civil officer, would it be in order to move as a privileged question that the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Sefienek) be impeached for obstructing the action-:'of Congress, and that he be suspended from office during the pendency of the case. [Laughter.] The tier-exen replied, still preserving his serious ness of manner, that It could not be. The yeas and nays were taken on. - the question whetherthere should be a, call of the Home, and re sulted leas 47; nays 104. Mr. LooAN made farther efforts to get the House to listen to a proposition of him, but there being ob jections from members on both sides of the House, the voting by yeas and nays on dilatory motions continued. Finally, Mr. Logan, of Illinois, was allowed to make pis proposition. It was the same -Ass that already made by Mr. Schenck, of Ohio, that those who were in favor of im peachment might have five minutes each to defend their position. Mr. SPALDING, of Ohio. objected, and again the interesting business of calling the yeas and nays was resumed. Mi. Meens. of Pennsylvania. attempted to get in a resolution of censure of the President, but objec tion was made to its being even read. Mr. skeur.eex again renewed the proposition that those in favor of impeachment should be allowed five minutes each. but objection was ineistedon. Two hours had been wasted in dilatory motions, and empty galleries showed that the spectators, at least, had be come tiny of the pastime. Still the Clerk went on calling the names of mem bers, and another clerk kept reading the responses, as gravely as if the vote was being taken on an import ant question. Finally, the majority appeared to yield, for on a vote by tellers on adjournment, there were 80 ayes to fiti noes. Then the yeas andenays were in sisted on by the unyielding ones, and the vote resulted —yeas, SO; nays. 77. So the House, at twenty min utes past five, adjourned Until to-morrow. The following Is the vote on Mr. Logan's motion to adjourn : Yeas--Messrs. Anderson, Aniell. D. R. Ashley, J. M. Ashley. Baker. Benjamin: Benton, Bromwell, Broomall, Butler, t htuchill, R. W.
