THE NEW Constitution of North Carolina confers the right of suffrage upon thousands of "poor whites " whol the aristocratic ride of former days disfranchised under the property qualification.

Fruit prospects which have been gloomy in the spring have frequently been followed by a yield far more abundant than was antici pated, but we see but little reason to hope for such a result this year. Our Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky ex changes,l with those of our ( own and other Middle States, express but one opinion, and that a clear and decided one, as to the fatal consequences upon the fruit of the unu sually severe weather which has uniformly prevailed from the middle of March to this date. It is not only the unseasonable cold which 'has done the mischief, but the low temperature has been so frequently pre ceded by wet, clinging snows, which, sur rounding the buds, have been frozen with them into a solid mass. ( • THE GREAT TRIAL. Technically, the Managers closed their case early last Week,. and Mr. Jonicsox's_ counsel have engaged the attention of the Senate since Thursday. But this, it seems; was only a stroke of policy on the part- of the Managers, the result of which has re fleeted the highest credit upon their pro fessional skill and has displayed more con spicuously than ever the strength of their case. Affeeting to yield the 'floor to the de fense, they have submitted with the best grace possible to the infliction of Judge CURTIS' five hour speech, preliminary to the introduction of testimony for the President. This, under a searching cross-examination, goes directly and powerfully to support the articles. Judge CURTIS' argument did not make a solitary Senator more doubtful as to his duty. Forty - of the Senators are con. vinced that the President removed Secre tary, STANTON, because he was determined to resist the law; no argument can shake this conclusion and no testimony seems likely to show it to be unfounded. , Certainly, there is no likelihood of this when the con spiracy to resist the law is proved by one of the conspirators, Gen. THOMAS, who con fessed on the stand thathe intended tosuse force, and had so stated to others. He also swore that he was hiniself Secretary and ac knowledged as such, although his co-con spirator, Mr. Jorixsolg, denies the removal of Mr. STANTON, and; by his counsel, in sists that he still remains the Secretary. This, too, in the face of the President's official order removing him under the law itself. No evidence which was offered 14- the Managers in chief went further than ,this' to establish the validity of the Im peachment. It is not to be wondered at that the Sen ate should be disposed to indulge Mr. JonN sox in the widest possible latitude in offer mg such testimony. The plainest princi ples of the law of evidence have conipelled them to exclude the testimony of General Sirgnmax as to what the accused may have said to him concerning his intentions: If an accused party should be suffered, to es tablish his own innocence in advance, by his own declarations artfully contrived with an express view to their use in his own behalf upon a future frial, the rules of evi dence would become but a mere . mockery. But whate4er witnesses may be legitimately offered by Mr. 501INSON'S counsel will have the widest liberty of testimony, and will be found, tinder the test of cross-examination, to be, - as TitoatAs has proven, efficiently supporting the prosecution. We are justified, therefore, in our remark that the case, for the Managers, although technically closed, is still proceeding with the accumulation of proof, and that this has been considered in heir tactics froth the first. The oral and documentary testimony for the defense will all be in this week, perhaps by Friday. The Managers will not require more than two days for rebutting proof, and final arguments' will begin early next week, probably by the 21st or 22d of the month. The country hopes to see the trial ended before May-Day, and the indica tions that way are quite encouraging. NATURAL it EALT I II`OF NEW Hon. CH-hRLES P. CLEVER, delegate in Congress from - New Mexico, has just issued an interesting pamphlet of forty-seven pages on the resources of New Mexico— . " her necessities for railroad communica tion with the Atlantic and Pacific States— :her great future," which will add materially to the very limited stock of knowledge yet possessed by the world at large respecting that exttaordinary territory. . It is now a little more than twenty years since our Government acquired possession of New Mexico; yet until 1867 we knew very little about it. 'We thought of it as a region of arid plains and barren moun tains; cut off from the civilized world on all aides; inhabited by a few Mexicans of the lowest grade, <and overrun ,by predatory savages. We thought of it as a portioti of our national domain of ,no present and but little prospective value—a sort -of Zahain sti'e:tching between the good part of our territory on this side and the good part, on the other side—an impediment to national progress rather than a, spur—a possession something like the rough and sterile ,lands of Pennsylvania, of which it is a common expression to say that " the more a man has of them the - poorer he is." Never was there. a greater mistake. In climate, New Mexico is probably. not sur passed by any other-portion of the globe. About latitude 86, deg. the great RoCky Mountain system begins to break down into an extensive plateau, having afi altitude of from four to seven thousand feet above the sea level. -The atmosphere is exceedingly pure and clear. Some snow falls .in the winter season, bunt rarely. . lies more than a day or two. - The surnmers, owing, to the great altitude, are never Oppressively hot. Much less rain falls than in the States east of the Mississippi; yet the entire country, mountains, valleys, and even the forests, are well covered with grass,,uutking- At, one of the best pastoral 'regions in the world. . The timber consisispf .pine; : , spruce, ced ar , Ai, and otber::424red trees These are found mesat - orlo4i, t . toulanwetiwittEtbiplrion (progoine4 ;s*li • kof *vs koz 44gu ; PITYSFURGII 'GAZETTE pinyon,) a . yaluable timber, often mixed with cedar'. On the streams the,nat ural growth is principally made up-of cot tonwoods, sycamores, hackberry, . willow, &e., with some walnut and oak. The higher lands, including the moun tains, afford excellent pasture. The valleys of the rivers and lesser streams can all be successfully cultivated, but mainly- by the help of irrigation. Irrigation is effected by leading the water of a stream on a level along the higher part of the valley; or bot tom lands, very much as it is carried in a race with us to a mill wiled; and is let off at proper intervals, to be led by plough-fur rows over the adjacent fields. These ditches, or little canals, are called acequias in the vernacular of the country. Sometimes a farmer will have one fbr his own exclusive use ; at other times the whole people of 'a district will unite and construct a "sakey," as they call it, several miles in length, and appoint a water master to deal the water out fairly to the several stockholders. "It is true (says Mr. CLEVER) it costs some labor to make these ditches, but then .the farmer is sure of a crop ; and the running over. his land of water highly charged with detritus, made up of decayed vegetation and rich mould from the mountains above, is a source of fertility. In this way the land never wears out. Irrigation thus becomes a fer tilizer." He continues : "The agricultural interests of New Mexico have heretofore been confined to the raising of wheat, corn,/ beans, oats and barleY. In some localities' in the North potatoes grow well, but along the valleys they cannot be successfUlly mild ; vated. " Agriculture among the New Mexicans is still prosecuted in the most primitive fash ion. The plough is a little better than" a crooked stick, with which they can only scratch the surface of the soil, yet their crops average more per acre than ours; and having the needful water perfectly at corn-, wand, their crops are sure. They suffer neither from wet weather nor drought -In some valleys irrigation can be dispensed' with; and it is believed that when deep ploughing shall be instituted, the necessity for artificial watering will he greatly abated: In a country so fall of mountain peaks and ranges, valleys and stfeims are very-nu merous, and many of the "bottoms" are quite extensive. That of the' Rio Grande is from two to ten miles in width for a dis tance of more than a hundred miles within the boundrics of New Mexico. That of the Pecos is little if any less. Both are among the best vine growing regions in the world. Mr. Clever remarks : • "The variety of the grape which is most cultivated in New Mexico cannot be surpassed for flavor by any grape in the world. The wine made from it surpasses the best Burgundy. It requires but little labor to cultic ate the vine, as no trellises are used.' The same is true of the vines of Southern California. In fact the two countries, in soil and climate, are very similar. Grape culture and The manu facture of wine of the finest quality will soon become a business of enormous magnitude in New Mexico, Arizona and California, a continuous region stretching at least a thousand miles along the line of the Uni t on Pacific Railway, Eastern Division—a dis tance equal to that between Philadelphia and St. Louis. But, after all, the great wealth - of that territory is in its mines of the useful and the precious metals, and in its exhaustless coal mines. Our apace will not permit us to go into details; suffice it to say that the number of ledges of gold bearing quartz which may be profitably worked are some thousands in nuMber, while new discoveries are constantly being nuide. The silver mines are but little less numerous,_in many of which the metal is found in combination with lead. Copper ores ,of various kinds, and yielding about the same per tentage as the iron ores of PennsyYvania, abound in lodes from two to ten feet thick in many local ities; and iron mere, strongly resembling that of the Iron Mountain of Missouri, exists in masses practically inexhaustible,' Very rich hematite ores are also found in great abun dance. Coal of excellent quality, having a much larger per tentage of fixed carbon than the bituminous coals of Western Penn sylvania, is immensely abundant for a long distance along the base of the mountains this side of the Rio Grande. The veins are four to fourteen feet in thickness. Other veins are found - west of that river; and there is a report that a coal vein fifty feet in thick ness has been found on the San Juan river, a tributary of the Colorado.' Anthracite coal, in a vein of about five feet in thick ness, exists near the line of the railway, a few miles southwest of Santa Fe, but its extenthas not been ascertained. There is enough of mineral' wealth in New Mexico to give profitable :.employment to millions of men; but there it must lie until 'a railroad, can be constructed to p it. There is not a mile of navigable water in the territory, nor within hundreds of miles of it; and to expect that such a country can ever be developed so as to yield up its bound less treasures to the fise of mark, while the only connection‘betviven it and the rest of the , world is the slow-moving ox-train, re quiring three Months to make the trip from the Kansas to the ilk) Grande, is simply preposterous. OF THE distinguished „Representative from the Allegheny District, a:Wasithigton letter says : Mr. Williams, who has' not opened his mouth thus far in the trial, has nevertheless been of great service in the preparation and arrangement of evidence, and in the prompt citation of huthorities. His absolute silence has surprised those who know his abilities, but he has not failed to render sufficient support Messrs. Wilson and Boutwell have done the same, and Mr. Bingham, of course, besides his occasional speeches, has had the general direction..of the proceediti: MR. JOHNSON 88,Y8 that, if convicted in' the impeachment he will take the stump for the Democratic Presidential ticket, and it is understood that he hasidready invited 'a particular friend, to accompany hi m as . .hte bade-holder. can - only regard this as a n . avail attempt_ to "blaelc-mairt the De. goticiact4fiiiilaipagi odor i*. .1,44 *ON.I) il,y, 7 ,.- 4..T"1t . 1.1.. .43, 180,9 c WHEN we have expressed ourapproval ~ • , ___ . of Fenianism , no intelligent reader can have understood us to object to the natural sympathies which 6iy. Irish-born citizens Must ever feel touching the political and material condition of their native Island. Our criticisms were applicable only to those overt manifeaations of hostility, against a foreign power with which the Republic is at peace, which were iii violation of our laws, of our treaty-faith and,Of the true and loy' allegiance which this class of our peo ple t gave sworn to the Republic, when ad ini ed to the privileges of its citizenship. We i have Ito censure for hearts which beat still warmly with love for the native land; indeed, in that very sentiment, we can dis. cover t the truest and deepest foundation of all the higher qualificailons for a good Ameri carcitizen. This sentiment has its. legit'. • mate effect, morallY, upon public opinion, at home and abroad, and aims to reach the Correction of a national wrong through the general condemnation ofun enlightened world. With this, it ends; it should vio late ho law here or elsewhere, nor should it disregard the paramount - obligations of loyalty to our institutions and our laws, one of,which forbids any hostilhacts Azainst other nations at peace ',with us. We have condemned, as plainly and for ierwe know how, the schemes Of mili tary, intervention with . which Fenianism has proposed to array our Irish-born citi zens iu unlawful hostilities against a friend ly power, but we have never' accused them of designing to advance the interests of Ireland by any mean or cowardly way. We shall be very far, therefore,. from hnputing the assassination of D'Ancr M'GEE, at Ot tawa, to a Fenian plot for the' taking' off of an opponent by midnight murder.' We are quite sure that lab such crime has been con templated, or could ever be Sanctioned, by the Brotherhood, here or in Canada. The murderer may have been an Irishman, but he was not necessarily a Fenian, while it is far more probable that a private grief or sorUe domestic wrong has been avenged by this, assassination. Those who best knew Mr.k IV GEE while living, will understand the anger In this way to which he .was frequently exposed. 1 We decidedly prefer this explanation to the other and more gen eral one which represents the crime as a Fenian outrage. The Brotherhood which violates our neutrality laws have not, andove are confident, never will countenance mid night assassinations. 1 IT mks come to be pretty well understood in both monetary and political circles, that the financial policy of the gOvernmentiis not likely to he altered or even materially dis turbed for twelve months to come. Among all the schemes which have teen proposed, affecting the volume of the 'currency, the status of the public debt and the National banking system, the only one upon which Congress hai been able to agree was that suspending the contraction policy. The effect of that Vote. and of the reception which all other new propositions meet at Washington, is to establish the fixed policy of the government in the continuance of the present state of affairs, withorit other legis lative intervention, and subjept only to the influence of events as they may naturally arise in the progress of, the country. All' parties, except the extreme 'Pendletonian wing of the Democratic inflationists, are agreed to let the entire subject alone, at least until the next Session of Congress, For the present, thereviill be neither ex ,Pension nor contraction, 'redemption nor repudiation, nor will any measure whatever be entertained ,having ; in view an accele ration of specie-resumPtion. .The - country is doing very well as it is, and 'everybody is willing to forbear an injurious and meddle some tinkering upon a state of things which is, on the whole, so _ gen erally satisfactory. Specie payments will be resumed as soon as •the country is ready and able to take, care of all its debts, 1. e., just as soon as the great body of its -creditors shall become ronvinced of its sol vency—that they - can• have the cash now if their claims wish, or thattueir claims are Absolutely safe to be paid, dollar for i dollar, when due, in case they incline to prefer the interest now and the principal- to ibe settled hereafter. Trade and business generally have already -reached the hard-pan,lvalues in almost all - eases heing estimated ripon the, specie -basis, and in due time the public finances will be controlled•by the same standard. The ar bitrary, forced value given to our paper, cur rency and secnrities, under the pressure of necessity a few Years since, must, when that pressure is removed, yield, sooner or later,,.-'to the inevitable laws of political economy. , In business, as in every other field of human experience, whateer is facti tious and unsound is sure to give place, in duik time,to a more sound and:natural state of things, unless bolated up by the 'arbitra ry -force of- unsound 'legislation. So, we trust that Congress will keep their hands off, and• permit the country to continue with out interruption in the natural course,which is leading slowly but; certainly'. back' to the normal and, healthy condition of affairs which existed eight years ago. COLFAXWADE AND UOL are likely to htIVO for close, contest the second place upon the ticket at Chicago. 4 Washington „letter speculates as follows: Minn the delegates, so far as,elected, the friends of Mr. Wade count upon Ohio, Ken tucky, Maryland, Kansas, California, solid, and part of New Jersey and Michigan, mak ing one hundred and thirty-four delegates.

T A - Fatal Panic in a cnttren. The services on Good Friday evening at St. Mary's Cathedral in Chicago, were interrupted by a false alarm of fire. The edifice• being crowded in every part, a fearful panic ensued, and With shocking re sults, three women being crushed to death and two others fatally injured. The Repub lican reports this melancholy affair as fol fows : They had proceded as fhr as the third Psalm, and were singing the lamentation commencing "Domuerunt Sdmniuni &MUM —Sle i eping they." tt - c., when a scream was heard, and in a moment all Was confusion. No words can convey the horror that in an instant filled the scene of peaceful worship. Those persons in the body of the church, feeling their utter inability to move, fearing the fall of the crowded galleries ; those most remote pressing toward all the avenues of escape. The Rev. Father Halligan was chanting the Tenebrae at the moment. His voice was drowned by the screams of the women and Children. In% moment some one near the door, cried "fire." This was the signal for a panic. With great presence of mind, Father Halligan cried out at the top of his voice, My Children, keep quiet—there is no ,fire—no cause for a larm." But his words of assurance had no effect upon the terrified people; and, to add to the trizlit and con fusion, the cries of, "The galleries are giv ing away," sent a fresh thrill of terror through the auslience. Many of the women swooned away in their seats, others fainted -in the aisle. Some of the men maintained their composure under the trying circum stances, vand did much toward restraining many in the body of the church from rase ly crowding upon each other. The people in the galleries, on becoining panic stricken, quickly poured headlong down the stairs: In descending from the south gallery, in their impetuosity to force their way rapidly to the street, the people ran, jumped, and tumbled, until they had got themselves into an entangleicand strug gling mass at the bottom of the stairway; opposite the door, which opened inward, where were many human beings literally piled together in horrible confusion. There lay, pressed tightly together, the living, the dead and the dying. The harrowing groans that issued forth, told of the intensity of the suffering that was being endured 'by many of the unfortunate people. It was a work of great difficulty to disentangle thli tightly wedged mass of humanityVso impacted that the rescuers found themselves at times liter ally tearing the clothing from the bodies of the victims. Mrs. McNulty, an old lady of immense size, whorl:tad been among the first to gain the stairs, but- who had in the excitement missed her footing at the top of the flight, rolled to the' bottdm, , and when reached, was found with her head on the floor, with her feet in an upright position. Life was extinct. Crushed about her, lay others dead and dying. AU the victims- were remov ed as speedy as possible to the Convent of the Sisters of Mercy, adjoining the Church. Here the dead and wounded were placed on the parlor floor—side by side; and every thing that tended to alleviate the pain of the sufferers, was done by those kind ministering angels—the - Sisters of. Mercy. Medical aid was immediately sent .for, but some delay Was experienced in obtaining surgeons, as many of the nearest who were called upon, were absent in attendance upon their patients. The Lake Michigan Disaster. Of the hundred or more human lives on board the steamer. Sea Bird, burned on this Lake on Friday mprning, but three were iaved. Of one cause of the siveeping fatal ity of this disaster, a Chicago journal says: From the, best evidence it would appear that no effort was made to stop the engine until circumstances prevented its, further motion. The result was that, the helm having been put a-port, thz boat described a circle of nearly a mile in diameter. The belief of those who ought to know is that had the progress of the steamer been stop ped at the first alarm the boats might have been gotten out, and all on board saved. The Steamboat Inspector of this District has decided to issue an order to engineers of all steamers on the Lake, andtheir assist ants, to stop their engines on the instant of a fire alarm, without waiting orders from , their superior officers, and not to start again without an order delivered personally by the chief officer. THE Detroit Tribune says of the recent election in Michigan : "The new Constitution is -badly defeated. It was opposed by all the enemies of Impar tial Suffrage in this region, and in many sections in the interior by the Prohibition ists, who feared the success of the revised instrument without the Prohibitory clause.• It also encountered a heavy adverse vote in the Republican party on the ground of its increased salaries, its . exemption clauses, the railroad question, the agricultuial £Ol - location, and other points involved in its variou%sections. These questions invi ted the shattering fire of thousands in the aggregate, all over the State." T E Homeopathic Medical Society of Massachusetts has just finished a sharp wrangle over the question of admitting into its ranks a woman who has been graduated with all the honors, and is already,a success. full practitioner in Boston. When the final vote was taken there was very nearly a tie—thirty-three doctors voting against and thirty-one for the admission. This was a defeat for Mrs. Mercy B. Jackson, of course; but 'a defeat which:came so near a victory is a sign of promise: .'The two or three physi— cians who inade:Up the .adverse majority will be', quite 'fikely to change their minds before the yearls'out.
