Ix another column will be found a card from Mr. THOMAS Wrror.rAms, in which he states, in substance, that while he will ac cept a re-noraination for Congress, he will not canvass to obtain it. As yet, no com petitor brought him for the nomination has been brought forward, and, perhaps, con sidering how near theday,o the nominating convention is, it is reasonable to conclude that none will be named. . AT la said that Senator SirErist.kx will acquit the President on the Articles charg ing a violation of the Tenure-of-Office Law bf the removal of STANTON. Mr. SLIER mar: will undoubtedly vote according to his perceptions of duty. His impartial disin terestedness and purity are so well known in Ohio, that the opinion has rapidly strengthened, within a year or -two past, that he is quite too good a man for the de moralized politics of the day, and that the Republicans of his State should mark their tender consideration for his goodness by relieving it as soon as possible from firther - exposures to temptation. THE FESSEND&N story is just about this. An unreliable New York journal asserted positively, on Tuesday-morning,:that thii Senator would vote for acquittal, and that his reasons therefor were already in mann script upon so much foolscap. The report er had counted these folios, making the number exactly twenty-five. On Wednes day it transpired that Hr. FESBENDEN de nounced the whole story as false and his confidential friends , and associates express unabated confidence that he will vote to convict He has, n0..-doubt, prepared his opinions in writing and specifies, precisely his judgment on each article. That he Will acquit on them albs too much for a reason able belief, ' Son . days ago a suggestion was sent, from Washington, to Mr. GROW, at Phila delphia, that it would be well for him, as Chairmariof the Republiam State Commit tee, to reqtiest the Pennsylvania delegatet to the National COnvention to meet at the COntinental on the Friday or Saturday im mediately preceding the day for assembling at Chicago. He decided, in the first place, that the delegates would not go so far out of their way, and, in the,ext place, that as he had no• authority in the premises it might be deemed impertinent for him to meddle in the matter. If a meeting for conference is desirable, this city is . the best place for it, because most of the delegates can conveniently come this way. Such conferences are not unusual; but we are not aware that important results were ever accompliahed by them. All, or nearly all, the delegates will - bt3 in Chicago in the morning of the day preceding the. Convention, and all needful consultation can be had then and there. MAKING UP THE JUDGMENT. The arguments upon impeachment con cluded with the speech of Mr. BrnonAm yesterday. The responsibility of judgment now rests upon the Senate, and the country awaits its verdict with an anxiety of ex pectation beyond anything known in its previous history, unless, perhaps, we ex cept the intensity of interest with which for aday or two it accompanied the pursuit of the assassin, Booth. The anxiety in this case is explicable upon grounds not wholly foreien to the consideration of the other.. No mere political event, a Presidintial elect tion or the like, was ever bilown to awaken so intensely feverish a state of public ex citement as these two events. The asas sination of one President and the constitu tional deposition of the successor whom that mtirder inaugurated in the office, and who, we trust, is now to be removed from it for acts of flagrant miseTidev4 wibe known hi oar history as events of far more than mere political significance. Of course, the latter days of the trial, and each day to intervene,' until the Senate makes nubile the residts of its deliberati ons, could not, fail to be marked •by the wildest and most sensational rinxiQrS• k `lf Q11%1)111%0 gives credence to all_the. stories that will fly- from the Capital upon,: - 0 0- wlnge ;of;: the. lightning during. the **four or 119;i - days its credulity will ' , bee enormously taxed: Particulal'lielatOiti are named as certain to disappoint the expectations of their political friends by voting for an acquittal. Messrs: FESSENDEN and Sagunto.: have already been particularly specified and the reports concerning them wore for a time a plausible air. But the assertions of one day are con tradicted the next, and the FESSENDEN story which every one credited on Tuesday, is on Wednesday repudiated and forgotten. , The public -will be amused or harassed in this way for a few days longer, and then, in the light of the simple and inevitable truth, it will wonder at its.own stupid gullibility in swallowing fabrications so ridiculous. RAILWAIi COMPETITION, Every business man 6imprehends the effect of competition upon trade, no matter in what department, for there is no essen tial difference. It•is to reduce profits to the lowest possible point, thereby cheapening the cost to the rawer. •- ' Business men who are so situated that they experience no competition, whether in Consequence of possessing patents, or pecu liar processes, or felicity of location, are Rot apt to put down prices. They are i i rather inc li ned to maintain them at the highes point the market will allow. In stances ban, indeed, be adduced' in which dealers consider scrupuldusly the demands of eq ty, and content themselves with modem and usual per centages espon . their outlay ; but •ench instances axe compara tively e *Tetanal. The en who build and manses railways are swyed by the same comilderations which ontreasa,ga, cious individuals in con ducting\ their private ' concerns. They do not profess to proceed upon the principle of universal intioselence; and if they did so proceed, would be unfit for the positions 1 they l occupy, and deserve to be remitted to to the curative agency of Lunatic Asy lums. They ~ ens Trustees for the stock holders, and are bound to consult primarily their welfare. To do otherwise, would be a breach of trust, of such.fiagran cy as ought to open the doors of penitentiaries to those guilty of it. Undoubtedly, in many essen tial p rticulars, the interests of steckholilem and the general public are identical, just as 1 the welfare of natzethants is, in the long run, - involved in the well-being of their custom ers. Sagacious merchants aim tolgive a full consideration for all they take, undeistand ing that "honesty is the best policy;" and in the same way railway managers, if. they are upright or only politic, seek to deal justly with all who have transactions with them. But there is a strong dispipition on the part of business men to exact more than this from railway officers. JiLanyl appear to rest under the delusion that men who have money, put it into railways as a kind of charitable investment, intending to promote the common good, rather than their own, and are equally content, and ought to be, whether they get valid returns therefrom or find it speedily and irrevocably swept away. Those Who indulge thir are careful to put little or no nu own into railway enterprises. Now, competition is, on thew'. thing in all private enterprises. It sharpens the wits of those who are subjected to it, putting their qualities to proof, and excites to new and improved methods and - Instru- . mentalities. It lessens the 'cost of all corn; modities to those who have need to purchase them, and promotes those exchanges of la bor and the products thereof by which whole communities thrive. So long, as one railway company has ex clusiiely the transportation of persons or merchandise for a particular district, or be tween important commercial centers, it will be very likely to adopt such schedules of charges as shall comport with its , own inter sts. Not that it will neeessarily incline to deal unjustly; but in the absence of competition there is nothing to qualify the value it sees proper to put on its services. The comptirison not between the railway of that Corn pany and another, but between the one railway and all other existing modes of intercom munication. No good can possibly result from grumbling. The solitary. Company 1 understands its advantages, and will press I them, controlled simply by its own sense of justice or ideas of liberality. Finding fault with it will avail little or nothing. This has been demonstrated, thraugh a consider able series of years; In the course of a ma jority. of the business men of this city to wards the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. There here been steady streams of complaffi ings, which may have afforded personal re lief, but have had no other result whatever. - What has been -needed ajl this while - has been the introduction of competition. —The opening of a rival route from this city to Ne* York and Philadelphia would have cured all the troubles complained of, so fa: as they are curable; because existing, not in imagination, but in- fact.. This policy we have steadily advo ed, and shall continue ` to advocate, until it hall be consummated. crit As we have often pointed out, not only an excellent coulp et ng route can • be found between this city d New York, by way of the Allegheny Bey, but actually the • best of all • attaina le routes. Much has already been done towards opening this line of communicati n, by the construction of the . Allegheny alley Railroad. Our often pointed under th lead of, Mr. Pundars, acted generously, a well as wisely, in that enterprise; but so ething remains to be done. The Pennsylvani , Railroad,Company sold out its interest in the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chica_o line, some time ago, and is now engaged with characteristic en ergy, in perfeeting new. combination., at once towards Chica l o, Cincinnati and St. Louis. This not on y detaches the Pitts burgh, Fort Wayne ,nd Chicago Company from its foimer ident ty with the Pennsyl vania Railroad Com any, but puts it Into a position where ane outlet eastward is'ea- Benda to its highest prosperity The situation suggest& what,. ought to be , tdone. Let the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago RatiroadSoldpany,,at least affiliate with the Ailegbßy, -4 14 /r o 44__ *Ay, and complete as independeat line to 1 4 19,! York, This line willtevertidn fersect existing roads leading to Piiiladel- • -- "W , SIV. . • - PITTSBURGH -- GAZETTEI .- THURSDA:Y.;-M - AT-7; • -18(1871-t----- 'English Common Law enjoins that own ere of tattle shall keep them within their own erichisures, or otherwise restrain them, and be liable in damages for mischief done by them when breaking away and entering upon lands of other holders. Several of the countries of continental Europe are almost entirely without fences, owing to the ab sence of surface stone, the scarcity of timber, and the value of the soil. • In these un fenced countries owners of cattle are, as a matter of course, compelled to prevent them from depredating. In Pennsylvania the hiw relative to fenc ing is not clearly defined. Indeed, even good lawyers find it difficult to give an -intelligible account of what the law is, the. principles of the Common Law have been varied from in .so many particulars, either by statutes or the rulings of magistrates. This ambiguity has arisen front the condi tion of the Commonwealth in the several stages of its development. Many of• the counties have now progressed so far that a return to the Common Law, on this point, is desirable; while some of the counties are still so new as to make a return inexpedient for them. However, not many, years will elapse before the law of fencing will be settled, and on the same basis as has pre vailed in Great Britain and other.old coun tries fof long periods. • A very large proportion of the farms in Pennsylvania will not sell for enough to reimburse the cost of existing fences. In many of the counties in which stone walls are used, - iris not unusual to sell farms by the estimated value of the walls, comput ing at so much a rod. In many instances the sum total is less than would hit required, in the same neighborhood, to construct an equal length 'of - fencing. This - perms to show to - ntat expense farmers are subjected by .the 'system •of fencing; but • does not fully cover the case.- Fences occupy a con siderable part of each farnt, so as to for bid cultivation, and afford burrows for weeds and brush to occupy. The time must and will ultimately come when the cost and inconveniences of fencing will be dispensed with in this country. A suit has gone up to the Supreme, Court of this State, from one of the Northern counties, of suclia nature, apparently, as to force the• Judges to meet 'the question of feacing squarely, which.they are, doubtless, not inclined to do so long as any other course is practicable. A. farmer had an unenclosed piece of land, adjoining an highway, which he sowed".with oats.- A neighbor'i cattle made pasturage of the oats, and the owner of the field brought action to recover ;lama ges. That is the whole of the case.l •it is difficult to see how the Judges can avoid teciding, with such facts before them, and no others, whether inhabitants of Pennsyl-, vania are each bound to fence to keep his own cattle in, or to keep , the cattle of other people out. - This-case is of very great importanceout side of the larger towns. But, wa;appre bend the time has not arrived when, the Judges will be found' ready to meet it promptly; and that they will seek, in some way, to decide upon this particular case without determining the general principle. By what refinement or subtlety this can be done, we can not exactly perceive. wo nuipnitia—T parties are contending, most disgracialy, for possession of the is land of Alta Vela, or, rather, of the guano deposited thereon. Mr. BLACK speaks, in terms more forcible than polite,. of "Mr. SEWARD and the thieves whose interests he has so. faithfully protectedin that matter." This means that Mr. tintvann and a set of , opersttors with whom he is connected, in : . eluding ono of his nephews. are exercising ownership, and making large profits there bjr, while Messrs. Ruck, B1:11`LER and others would like well enough to get Mr. 13EwAnn and his friends out, and get iu themselves, either personally or throughlhe medium'of eontrdentlai f riends.- The whole matter-has a dirty aspect, . discreditable to the eminent political men involved in It: It Bowi, ~w o fo i mu ldo thh ae v r ine b g ee in n v n e - e ati ll ga , _tf t. :l ol4e 444 .e instead not 014 ordelred it; made it decidedli i'i' re yll; ig : In that case,:it ne tions =trolled the con4uq either party to uto dispute,, the fact would have been 11 Q0 to aPPear,'While now 'bout Mies are open to the most in suspicions. pbia. Such a movement Would put the 'Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Rail road Company into a commanding position, as an independent trunk line, and introduce t h e sharp compeiition-our citizens ardently desire. That Company already has the Baltimore connection in view, upon the completion of the Connellsville %Broad, which is neither Problematical nor distant. An independent connection with New York would afford it almost unprecedented advantages. Mr. GEORGE W. Cass has a golden op pertiliqity before him. He has unusual abilities, especially in Ids 'chosen caffing. He has the confidence of this entire corn inunity, and of all men else Where who are acquainted with him either personally or by fame.

Our Republican State Committee has been organized and has already entered upon its preliminary duties.. The Committee is well chosen, of active and influential citizens, and its chairman, Mr. Gnow, pledges to his Republican friends of the Commonwealth the fullest measure of his zeal, discretion and experience. So far it is well; indeed, it is auspicious in itself of a well-considered opening of the Campaign, and this is a long step in the path of a certain victory. But this is very far from being all that the Re publicans of the Union have a right to expect from their friends in the Keystone State; fur front being all that the party within the State arc entitled to expect from each intelligent voter who understands the precise value of the objects to be secured' by a victory in the autumn, - nor is it all that is needed to ensure that success. The State Committee simply' takes the initiative, and its wisest prepa rations will' prove a useless nullity, unless followed up promptly, vigor ously and effectively by a thorough organi zation of the party, by counties, townships, wards and scbool district& This organize ,ticin should be so thoroughly minute as to bring home to every voter a sense of his personal responsibility for the result of the campaign. The work to be done in each separate precinct, by citizens who personal: ly know every voter at their respective polls, who make it their individual duty to strength en the wavering, to encourage the weak, to prompt and stimulate the careless, to inter est the indifferent, and to ensure that the vote of every Republican in his district shall be cast before noon of the election day —this is the kind of work that proves the sterling value of the citizen's political faith, that measures his practical usefulness to his party, and that, more than any mere party machinery, renders success in this canvass a certainty. Another fortnight witnesses the assem blage of our National Convention and a Presidential ticket Is then to be put in the field. Shall it find us unprepared to respond to the action of our delegates ? Shall OnArrr's nomination fall upon the ears of an unorganized party, a large and respecta ble but undisciplined mob, or shall it find us with our ranks in line, leaders at their posts, banners flying, and ready to move atthe tap of the drum ? We submit to our Republican friends that it is worse than' idle, that it is not altogether safe to postpone for another day the details of a thorough organization. Let us agree together to get tbe party at once in hand, to welcome our Commander irOchief and to follow him instantly into the enemy's works.- Let us. have Gnaws clubs formed in the cities, wardsand rural districts, enrolling every Republican voter, and each member not only comprehending that he has work to .do, but determined to fight it out on that line if it takes all summer. Let us have a Gn.i.wr Club in each divi .sion of the cities, at once ! THE PUBLIC BUSINESS The participation of the Rouse in thelm peachment trial has for the present termina ted, and its attention. will be immediately directed to other measures which urgently demand legislative action. Prominent among these are qutstions concerning, Ist, the re-habilitation of those Southern States which have accepted the Reconstruction policy, and, 2d, the tariff and tax-bills. The internal revenue bill will be reported forth with and Mr, Savages, Chairman of the Ways and Means Committte, will insist.that the entire bill shad be considered and pass= ed, although a strong party among the west ern members are disposed to take up but a few articles and let the main question go over to'the next session. There is no :gen eral belief that any measure for the revision of the tariff upon importi can be enacted before the adjournment. ASPECTS OF IMPEACHMEN "Agate," the well-iniormed Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati 'Garotte, in a letter of the 28th of April, discusses the chances for a two-thirds vote on the convic tion and removal of the President. Num bering the Republican Senators, he specifies twelve of the forty-three who have been to some extent distrusted in the popular ap prehension. Three of ; these, Henderson, Frellnghuysen and Willey, he regards as beyond suspicion. He proceeds: ' We have left nine Senators, concerning whom there may be 'possibly a doubt. If only three oTimpeachment; succeeds.' are, sure, succeeds. On the other hand, if seven of them should' combine, they hold in their hands, not only the issues of this trial, abut the destinies of the Republican party. And they know it. Four of these men group themselves to gether in all men's minds. They are four strong 'Senators—two of them standing in the very front rank, and the other two only a little behind. If Messrs. Grimes, Fessen-. den, Trumbull and Sherman act together, it is quite probable that they have influence enough to 'carry three of the weaker breth ren with them. Will they,? To this propo sition the qUestion of success or failure in the impeachment seems to reduce itself. Mr. Grimes has been openly hostile to the inauguration of•any movement for impeach nient. He. has talked openly against it during the progress of the trial. He has said that lie was against iteince the evidence xas'concluded and half the arguments: were heard. And he hati;:on at least one occa sion,' pretty broadly intimated. to, a brother ,Benttor ..his intention , to vote against it. But Mr. Grimes is in a position to feel less the pressure of public sentiment (which, consciously , or unconsciously, must have some influence on all minds) than ally other Senator in the list.. He has , been sour and crabbed for two or three yearcOissatisfied, with the reconstruction, policy, dissatisfied with many leading features of= the party ac tion, disappointed *;the personal ambition; to, secure the Presidency of ,the Senate for himscilf if It should go West;or , for his most littlinate friend, Mr. Fessenden, if it should go East; disgusted' with the elevation of Mr. Wade, whom'he especially dislikes; galled at the certainty of Mr: Wade's 'llirther ad vancementi case impeachment succeed, vexed at the seeming failure of the party to recognize the fitnes,ELef either his friend Fessenden or himself for, a place on the Presidential ticket, in 4 enniged at tho prospect of Wade's securing that place also., Inatteneed. 'suchleelings, he la free ,to, yield tolhem by reason'of his' ComParative- Independence of popular opinion. He is about to retire from the Senate and from t public life. His career has been an honora ble and a useful one, and he knows it. He is undoubtedly honest •in his opposition to impeachment, and it is quite probable that he will independently close his career by putting that opposition into a vote. How- ever much it is to be regretted, I for one have no word of bitterness with which to assail this act, if it be, one arising from con scientious conviction. It is believed that Mr. Fessenden has not yet made up his mind; and certainly his bearing and expressipns have been eminent ly worthy of an upright' judge; PatlentlY hearing everything on both sides, and re serving his decision. He also has been op posed to impeachment, though not so vehe mently as Mr. Grimes. He has very much disliked the course taken by Mr. Stunner and others in this.trial, and his conservative habit of thought inclines him to very great reluctance in applying so severe a remedy. He is serving his third term in the Senate, and it does not expire until 1871. He has, besides, been Secretary of the Treasury, and after these prolonged public. honors and labors lie may feel less apprehension of ad verse popular criticism than many others. But, on the other hand, it must be remem bered that he is 'very, ambitious and saga cious; and it may be added that the other Senator from Maine, Mr. -Morrill—a gentle man as cautious in his expressions .as he is decided in favor of conviction—entertains no doubt that he and his colleague willagree on the final vote. Mr. Trumbull resembles Mr. Fessenden in more than one particular of his present po sition. He, too; has a conservative turn of mind, and a natural dislike to measures like this. He, too, has idled a - long course of public fife with many worthily -*Oh honors (he has been member of the Illinois Legis lature, Secretary of State for Illinois; Judge of the Supreme Court of that State, and Representative in Congress;) and he, too, is , now in his third term of service in the Sen ate, with a seat there beyond anybody's con trol until 1873. He is more of a lawyer than Mr. Fessenden, and more likely to be controlled by purely legal' considerations. He has given the closest attention to the whole case, and, so far, has been exceeding. ly discreet and decorous in any expressions about it. But it may be noted as a signifi. cant circumstance that his wife is a warm impeacher. Mr. Sherman's pEsition and character need no explanation in these columns. He has bEen opposed to impeachment, and he has committed himself most uncomfortably in favor of the Civil Tenure 'of Ofthie law on which the. President acted. Mitt he is pre-eminently a cautious man, he has a pro found respect for popular *mends when he appreciates their strength, and he-is only in his second term, though the ordeal of a can didate for re-eclectlon is still five years dis tant. In the Senate the active unpeachers have had no doubt of Mr. Sherman—Sum ner, for example, and lus class, have re garded him as being certain as themselves. Outsiders have been able to see how Mr. Sherman could vote convictien on the first article, in the face o: his declaration in the Senate that the law did not include Stanton; but they have expected him to vote guilty on the rest. On the whole, it may be concluded that these four can tardly combine. If they had absolute assurance of each other and three more, it is barely possible that they might. But they are all (save Grimes) too cautious; Mr. Sherman, especially, is too cautious to run any risks whatever in a matter of this kind, and absolute certainty. would seem tc be hardly attainable. Furthermore, it, is scarcely to be doubted that one er wo of them honestly believe the President to be guilty, at least on the technical counts; and it is not to be questioned that, where their minds are clear, they will vote uprightly under the sanction of their oaths. If there should be no combinationof these four, there is an end of any fear for the President getting the requisite seven out of the so-called doubtful list. • The rumors in regard to Mr. Fessenden are taking a more definite shape. -:A 'special • to the Philadelphia inquirer says : "Mr. Fessenden has prepared an opinion upon the first three articles; which ,covers them, and takes the ground that the Presi dent as the power of removal, and that Mr. Stanton is not included in the. Tenure-of-' Office act. It covers twenty-eight pages of foolscap, and has been seen by some of the Maine delegation, who are exceedingly un-, happy at the position he has taken,' but who are powerless to help it." Another special to the New - York 'Traune, under date of Monday evening, says "It is generally understood to-night that the greater number of the _Senators intend to present written opinions oil the evidence on the trial of the President, with a view of sending them to the country. It is said that air. Fessenden has _prepared such,aii opinion. Several other Senators are pre.. paring opinions, but their tenor is, not known. Conviction is, however, thought certain." - Another correspondent telegraphs as to! lows : , f There are excellent reasons for believing that only Messrs. Fessenden, Grimes and Fowler are without hope. and that only Messrs. Van Winkle and Henderson are in doubt. This still renders conviction cer thin, and those who have the best, means of knowing, still have unbounded confidence in its conclusion this week by the deposition of Mr. Johnson. _ The New York Tribune of the sth editor ially, under the heading "How do they.ex pect to win," says: , . • There are whispers in the•air, of private letters from certain Senators to Mr. John son, seeking for appointments, &a, which he now holds in ta7oreni over the heads of tho writers;thieatening to publish the docu ments if those writers „respectively should votelim guilty. We cannot: believe that there is enough in this to shake a single Re publican BE nator. There remains just one resoarce--Bribery —and the Whisky-thieves now defrauding the revenues at the rate of at least One Mil lion per week can well afford to pay Ten Millions to keep Andrew Johnson where he is, and thus secure impunity in their'ne farious but lucrative craft for the next ten months. TUE Ilarrisburg Telegraph makes highly flattering mention of General A. Purr sax, apropos to his candidacy for nomina tion as prosecuting attorney of Allegheny county.t The 'Telegraph briefly recapitulates his . military services, and adds : _ It would be useless to attempt any, etdo-, tium on this soldier, so full or so compli meutary;As Mere narrative of. the , facts Which we have adverted to. .I.llis history and Ids' fame are in'the records - the:War Department; his glory is the : knowledge of duty nobly pen'onned; and We may safely leave to the people of Allegheny county to decide, what shall be the civil 'rewards for Lis services, now that hisc.'eampaigni
