MATE, the correspondent of Mkt Cincin
nati Efateita, writing from Chicvo, men
lions the fact, as unusual, that no liquor
was dealt out at the head-quarters of the In
4dituut, delegation. The writer hereof was
.in ;;the head-qitarters of a nnmber of
The delegations, including those from
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Connecticut, and
krtows that liquor was not furnished at 'any
of them. There is much more gabble than
fact about the use of liquors at important
political Conventions.
TIM trial of Jamatso's DAvIS is an:
pounced to commence next Wednesday,
June 3d, at Richmond. Bat little public
interest anticipates this ,event, since -the
opinion is universal that theproceeding will
be a mere formality for the purpose of
obtaining, with the official sanction of the
Chief Justice and of Mr. Jour/sores Dis
trict Attorney, a clear record of acquittal
for the Coafederate Chief. Were there any
daager of his conviction, the tactics of our
Senate Chamber and its lobby would be
seasonably and successfully developed to
avert it.
The Commeretal denies that tlie Allegheny
Valley Railroad Company have made over
tures of sale to the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. We suspect, this denial is only a•
play upon words. Have not a deputation of
gentlemen, at the instance and with the ap
proval of the managers of the Allegheny
Valley Railroad Company, been to Phila
delphia either to offer terms to the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company, or to ascertain
what terms that Company would propose ?
This is purely a question of fact, from
which no imputation upon any one can be
inferred.
THE PRIMARVMEETINGS.
The Union Republican voters of Alleghe-
ny county are reminded that their primary
meetings for the election of delegateato the
Congressional and county Conventions, are
summoned for Saturday, the 30th. The call
from the Executive Cormnittee, which we
print, specifies the hours for the assemblage
of these primary meetings and the methods
xmder which delegates will be chosen. It
will be seen that the eleiticins the cities
and borough, inOuctilig all t6wilshipi;
the consolidated cities, are to be held be
*:(iot 5 P i4 : 4 1

and that the voting Will be`by ballot, de.
parting- in .this respect from the former
usage. The townships of Oakland, Plit,
Peebles, Liberty,. Collins and .Wilkins
vote within the ruune,hours ;under the old
plan of marking, and' all Other townships of
the zonntylrill alio mark, -but 'between the

We urge upon every Republican voter to
• make it his especial business to go to the
voting place and express his own individual
preference in the choicti of delegates. The
voter who omits; this duty, without an ade.
quite excuse in his health or business, has,

THE BRIBERY INVESTIGATION.
fislifire to assume that no man in the
United States, who had watched carefully
for any considerable period, the process by
which lobbies manipulate legislative assem
blies, and the
. outward indications of suc
cess in.such enterprises, had any doubt, the
day after the first vote was taken in the
Senate upon the Articles of Impeachment,
as to the nature of the influences brought
to bear on the minds, of several of the Re
publican members of that body: All the
indications gave positive raelation of a cor-b
rupt bargain and sale.
See how the case stoodl The Republi
can Senators bywhow voted .fie, President
was acquitted, had previously, and with de
liberation, under their official oaths, put
themselves on recordcto precisely the 'oppo
site effect. In the,debates upon the Office
.
Tenure bill, and in'givnigtheir , votesfor its
enactment into a law, they pronounced
,
_judgment upon the constitutional limita
tions of President's prerogative of ap
pointment tonnd remoyel from places of
honor, trust and profit. In the debates upon
the President'S message assigning his reas
ons forth& removal of, Mr. STANTON from
the War Department, and by their votes'
restoring him to that position, , their decided
the whole mite against. Mr. Joni:mon, , and
gave the strongest possible invitation to the
House of Representative's to Proceed against
him by Impeaclunent : In these instances
they acted without popular press are, and
in accordance with their matured and often
declared views of the = -genius of our political
system, and the obvious intent of the con
stitutional distribution of powers among the
co-ordinate branches of the government
At the opening of the current session of
Congress, when the House of RePresenta
; tives, after listening to the reports on Im
petrlment submitted by different sections of
the Judiciary Committee, dismissed that
whole business, the conntry acquiesced. A
feeling of relief was distinctly observable
throughout all the Republican ranks. When
the question of Impeachment was again
taken up it was not in response to outside.
I clamor or importunity. Upon its own
mo
tion, and in defence of its own preroga
tives, the Senate 'proceeded to adjudge
the President in the matter of the re
moval of Mr. STANTON, the seven recusant
Senators not simply consenting, but active
ly co-operating. It was then, and not till
then, that - the House of Representatives
again moved in the_premises. It took the
Senate, and these seven Senators , in par
ticular, at their words. What less amid the
House have done ? •
When the House was Preparing Articles
of Impeachment, the false Senators did not
dissuade therefrom. They. knew, as well
1 as they Imevr anything, that Impeachment
was the just and necessary corollory front
the record they had helped to .make In the
Senate. When the trial came on, and as it
progressed, they save their political asso
ciates no sign of change in their views and
purposes, but constantly gave them to un
derstand that however, they might differ
from other Republierine upon the details of
proceedings, they were unmoved and im
movable upon the decisive points at issue.
Meanwhile they established relations of the
closest intimacy with the President and his
defenders, listened to the seducements of
lobbyists to such a degree and with such a
spirit that those adventurers felt perfectly
safe filling the whole country with
predictions of unqualified acquittal, and
with prophecies that either a Conservative
party would be speedily organized,
with the Chief Justice at its head, and the
betraying Senators in co-operation, or that
these elazients would be merged into the
Democratic party, with Mr. CHASE as its
nominee` for President. Could a circum
stantial case be made plainer? Consider
ing these tokens in connection, no other
etinclusion was admissible than that the
Chief Justice and the Reptiblican Senators
sidLng_with him, were bought„ withaprice.
What that price was ` remained to be ascer
tained
i
The apologists of these functionaries 'de
nied that they were actuated by sordid or
pecuniary motives, but when pressed, con
ceded that they were controlled either by
personal antipathies and hatreds or by po
litiail ambition. How this Made their ease
any better, we failed to see. Some bad
men are not mercenary. They cannot be
tempted by offers of money. • But their
lust of power or their thirst for revenge.is
so inordirutte they will' do any thing , to
.gPatify or appease either. • Other • bad men
have no personal loves or hates, and hold
all other ambitions in strict subonlination
to an intense and consuming desire for
money. Mutt there is a difference in these
classes is obvious. Which of the two is the
worst it is useless to calculate nicely. Each
is as bad and despicable as it can well be.
What all experienced men inferred from
fscfe apparent on the, suiface of this case, his -

of the Mariagira of Inipeaclnnent 'de

PITTSBURGH GAZETTE : FRIDAY, MAY, 29, 1868
his' beersquexsel tilt of reluctant witnesses:
This s. This testimony coitpels
the conviction that
if the whole trucould be brought - out,
not a few men, heretofore
rated eminent in
ch' actet: as in position, would be - Consigned
to the penitentiary.
It is, indeed, poe, able that one or more of
the Senators who- have thus fallen into dis
grace did net yieldtO the greed of mone y . Who can c,.1
tell . whi they are ? Each one
of them deliberately, placed hhuself in such
relations as to drati suspicions upon him
self. They did this, presuming npbn their
reputations to' shield them from, ultimate
il condemnation. They discourse in stately
terms about their oaths, and consciences,
.
and sense of perso honor. Where were
their oaths, and nsciences, and honorti,
when - they voted fo the Office-Tenure act ?
when they soli ly adjudged that the
reasons given by th President for turning
Mr. Stsrroir out f the • War tea:* were
insuiiicient? when, y' their votes; they put
i i i
Mr. STANTON bac into the place out of
which the Presiden thrust him ?
To be frank t me may - as well confess that
we have little or no confidence in sleek,
. comfortable and dig i nified men, who Make
parade of social standing, of conscience, of
morality, ofpiety. They are no better than
pretty and volatile women who 'ceaselessly
chatter about their immaculate chastity.
Bluff; rugged men, making no pretences,
. .
careless of exterior appearances--in short,
such men as WADE and STEvrais—in
triverti never approach and the public never
suspect. Neither the intriguers nor the
public are mistaken. Such men are not ap
proached because they are unapproachable.
At the late Chicago National Convention
hopes of nominating a certain person to the
Vice Presidency were predicated on the
weaknesses or the necessities of the "carpet
bag" delegates from the Southern States.
The effort to buy them was, boldly made,
' and utterly failed. Poor .and without pub
lic reputation, but earnest and resolute
men; they put the eager trafficers to open
shame. If the places held by these "car
pet-baggers" had been held by the seven
recreant Senators and their like, thepro,-
posed bargain would have been struck, the
money paid, and the votes recorded accord
ing to agreement. Whitefield, in bold and
startling imaginary, depicted the aristocrat
ic and the dangerous classes of society meet
ing at the mouth of hell and plunging in
together. Through the disguises of educa
tion and fashion—the differences of form and
seeming —he accurately traced that identity
of moral character which brought them to
gether when ihe fictions and hypocrisies
of the earthly dissolved and disappeared
under the pitiless alchemy of the eternal,
• WE coEcamt—nay, we affirm as stoutly
as anybody—that it would be a good
thing for the business men of this city and
neighborhood, If the trunk railways were
compelled to carry freights at uniform rates
per ton per mile. The question is, how to
compel them If ••blowing" could do that
job the Commercial has expended wind up
on-it sufficient to -accomplish the result half
a dozen times. But the consummation is
as far off as ever. Hence we conclude that
"wind" is not adapted to that end.
It would be a good thing for many people,
if merchants and manufacturers in this city
were compelled to sell' their goods to all
comers, and at all times, at uniform rates.
But there is no law commanding them to do
so, and there will be none.-
Pennsylvania can pass a pro rata law,
and make it binding on all railway
companies within its borders—though we
doll% believe it will. But such a law would
not apply to roads running through Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and lowa. Nor will those,
States co-operate with Pennsylvania in es
tablishing a pro rata 'tariff from the Dela
ware to the Mississippi and the Missouri,
and beyond; for the plain reason that such
a measure would increase railway charges
upon their people. Is it a crime to utter
common sense on this point
Competing lines .'through Pittsburgh
would tend to equalize charges; but two
parallel hues would cease to be competing,
by entering into combination, whenever
they found cntting each others throats un
pleasant, and whenever the condition of
transportation over the water-ways allowed.
This is one of the most practical matters
in the world, and cannot be settled by inter
minable deluges of awash.
Limpet= Senators are eloquent in re
pelling die imputation that they bad dined
with the ,CUef JUstice. Have they no in
digniudprote.stations to offer against more
serious accusations?

LOW WEED, whose long and ripe experi
axe in public affairs guarantees his thor
ough understanding of what he is about,
finds it expedient to present specific and re
sponsible charges of corruption against a
Senator by name, the public may be assured
that business is seriously meant. The card
of that entleman,printed over his own name
in his own journal, the New York • Com
mercial Advertbm of Wednesday, arraigns
Senator Pomnigov upon an accusation so
precise, and including by name so many of
g i
the S e stars in its complications, that an:in
vesti tion is sure to follow. The country
will I ist upon it and the Senate cannot
avoid It, however unpleasant its revela
tions are likely to prove,
Mr. i WEED has delivered his fire with
great skill and direction, at the critical mo
ment. Simultaneously with the adoption
by the Senate of a resolution appointing a
committee of investigation, his card appear
edp4,. at New York. He understood the situ
ation and how to make it effective.
If he Senate, in ordering that Committee,
pro sed to itself a neat little white wash
ing operation for > its suspected members,
which there is great reason for supposing to
have been its intention, it may as well be
understood at Once ~ t this ratrt of -the ar
rangement Will fail..:lt was entirely prac
ticable to smother t . e matter, so long as the
current charges of e.rntption were based
upon irresponsible mors and sensational
newspaper reports. The Committee would
have had little difilc , ty in making a parade
of its virtuous ante . dons, going through'
the forms of an enq iry in such quarters as
would be safe to di- • spoint the public ex
pectations, and care lly avoiding the dan
gerous exposure of f• as from reliable wit
nesses. In due tim a report would have
been made that the , • rges of venality and
,
corruption we uas stained, and the Sena=
tors clearly pro ed t. be all honorable men. \
This was possi le, , long as the Committee,
were sure of ti ding only a timid handful of,
timid press reporters to deal with,• or the
sharpers of the Whisky ring to collude with
them in the sup ression of the truth. For
this we have no doubt to have been the pur
pose of Senator in instituting its "Com
mittee of Inver,igation." Mr. Waal)
watches for his moment and, in the'very
hour when the Mlegmph has advised him
that a Committee has been ordered, his car d ?
specifically charging Senators- by name;
goes into print. 'The Senate has committed
itself. The little job of white washing
which it had roposed,
1 - . le
- has become a very
different affair, and what Was intended as a
deception upo the public, a decorous cloak ,
for the perpetu 1 concealment of the corrup
tions of the Ca gob is Converted into a for
mal investiga on of specific charges from
a responsible so rce. it is not the entertain
ment to which nators invited themselves,
but they are in r it, and the
,i i
prosecuting
witness is one w o knows how to make it a
very serious affa r,
We havenot a ways admired 3!r. WErio's
tactics, nor have{ we usually, of late years,
accepted his po litical policy. But we rec
ognize him as a man of - marked ability, of
large and most varied political experience,
and, whether as journalist or politician,
having access 'to the most hidden sources of
information and familiar with the inner his
tory of public men and measures. We pre
sum that such a maul has made such 'a
charge upon no slight g4ounds, and that he
is entirely competent maintain his , part
as prosecutor in the, enquiry which he has.
challenged. He has a right to know Main
this matter he shall be encouraged and sus-
tamed by the approbation of every honest
man. The corruptions of Washington have
become ad flagrant as to shock the moral
sense of the people. The country demands
their exposure and punishment We care
not who is to be disgraced by the esposnre.
Whateier Senator may have sold his vote,
or for whatever price, whether his name be
one of the seven already conspicuously in
famous, or was to hare been given to that
treachery jf needed, the country has a right
to know, and we are-gratefhl for the belief
that this knowledge is not far off.
THE personal explanation made by the
Kansas Senator, Ross, on' Wednesday, es
tablishes amply the justice of the popular
suspicions against his integrity. It is a
muddy, incoherent attempt to avert the uni-
Versa' odium, by vague professiohs and
empty generalities, in the midst of which
maybe discerned the acknowleagementlhat
he had intended to support the eleventh ar
ticle, but changed his purpose two days be
fore the yore was given, and lie assigns "an
intended wrong to be perpetrated," as the
motive for that change. Here was a point
upon which the Senator would have done
well to be more specific. I What was that
"wrong" to which he mysteriously alludes?
It is reporte4 at Washington that he pri
vately assures his acquaintances that he
changed his vote "to break up a ring or
ganized for the defeat ,of General GRANT."
That explantition is too absurd for any de-
greet of credulity to accepts The proba
bilities are far more favorable to the other
ana more damaging allegations which con
neo him with'n "ring" of - claituants before
Congress and the War Office, in, whose
way Mr. STANTON was an insuperable ob
stacle. His ''explanation" confesses A
'change of front at the,last moment, 'because
that change was so well known that it was
useleSi tor him to - attempt a denial. Now,
let us have some more reliable explanation
of itireal caitie. • • • •

THE CAMPAIGN.
Address Vreim - tlie State 'Central Commit
• tee--An Appeal to All Good Citizens.
PHILADELPHIA, May 27, 1868.
To the Voters of Pennsylvania
The National Convention of the Repub
lican party, with a unanimity and enthusi
asm unprecedented, has nominated candi
dates for President and Vice Piesident and
announced the principles upon which they
appeal to the people for support.. As to the
individuals selected no word of commenda
tion is necessary. Their deeds form a part
of the history of the country. •
No matter who the candidates in opposi
tion may be, they must represent an organ;
ization that was unfaithful to the country In
the hour of its direst peril and false to lib
erty and the rights of man.
For four years the Republic shook with
the tread of armed men in a struggle to deter
mine whether the will of the majority con
stitutionally expressed should be the law of
the land till changed in the mode prescribed
by 'the organized law. - In that struggle
three thousand millions of treasure were
wasted—three hundred thousand hero
martyrs found in our ransomed soil their
graves, and sorrow sits to-day at almost
every fireside, mourning the unrettirning
brave. '1 -
This waste of treasure and legacy of woe
was caused by the minority, in a fair elec
tion, refining to submit to the will of the
majority constitutionally expressed. Sus
pended on the issue hung the life of the re
public and the hopes of mankind.
The only political \ organization to give
did, sympathy, and encouragement to that
minority in its attempt to dismember the
Republic and thus destroy oar liberties, was
the party calling itself Democratic. At its
last Nattonal Convention, while half a mil
lion of men were in arms for the overthrow
of the Governinent, it declared the war for
the Union a failure, and demanded an im
mediate cessation of hostilities.
"We weie asked to spike our guns when the foe was
at bay,
And the rags of his black banner were dropping
Andrtn the proud name our nation had won,
strike her brave bird from his home In the
sum "
Had the policy of the Democratic party
been tsuccessful, the genius of Impartial his
tory would have written on the tombstone
of the present generation an epitaph of in
delible, unfading and endless disgrace—that
it preferred the Republic should die rather
than endure the sacrifices necessary for it to
live. •
The Men and the party that saved the
Government in war can preserve and pro
tect it in peace. The great, captain of the
age will lead the loyal hosts'of the Republic
to victory in November next, as he led its
armies at Donelson, Vicksburg, and Appo
mattox Court House.
Republicans of the Keystone State, effi
cient organization secures certain victory.
Your party in its infancy saved the territo
ries of the Union fiom the blight and curse
of. human bondage, and consecrated them
forever to free homes and free men. In its
early manhood it has grappled and crushed
the most gigantic conspiracy ever formed.
for the destruction of liberty and free gov
ernment. Treachery of public servants or
apostasy of trusted leaders cannot stay its
onward march.
With truth and justice for weapons; and
and the hearts of the people for a bulwark,
if true to yourselves, a certain victory
awaits you.
