Tlie Ketliodist Conference.
The annual conference cf the Philadel
phia Methodist Episcop&l Church con
Tcccs in Philadelphia this week,
The Republican Convention.
This body of patriots met at Philadcl
hia yesterday, to nominate candidates
or the offices of Auditor and Surveyor-
General, and delegates at large to reprc
sent the State in the Chicago Republican
Convention. At the time of our going
to press we had no word as to the doings
of the Convention; but judging from the
importance of the occasion, and the ne
cessity for careful action we have no doul t
but that its action will meet the hearty
approbation of the people. We have not
the shadow of a doubt, but that true and
tried men will be placed in nomination, and
men who will faithfully represent the
Republican scutituent of Pennsylvania
and that, as a consequence, the disgrace
which wc suffered" last fall iu the defeat
of Judge Williams for the Suprcnc
Bench, solely because of our supiueuess
will be wiped out by an overwhelming
majority for the nominees. The mon
grels, forming the Democracy, hope inucl
from the action of the Convention. They
would delight in nothing so well as
wrangle between the different interests
for the Vice-Presidency they would
particularly rejoice in the defeat of Cur
tin. But we anticipate that they wil
not be delighted that Gov. Curtin wil
not be defeated, but, on the contrary, in
obedience to the behests of the majority
of the Republican voters of tht State
that the delegates to the Chicago Conven
tion will be, with great unanimity, in
structcd to vote for him. Should such
however, not be the case, their delight
will be but short-lived. The masses of
the party comprising at least a twenty
thousand majority of our people, art
fully impressed with the necessity of see
ing true and tried representatives of prin
ciples placed in public positions; and, as
" measures, not men " has become the
watchword, they will not hesitate to yield
men, iu order to secure themselves, from
the danger of being Johnsonizcd a second
time. Ia the war of the Rebellion a
bloody and expensive fight wag fought,
thus far, owing to the treachery of the
"great impeached," without results coil
nieusurate with its cost; and though we
should prefer Curtin, because we know
him to be sound at all points, wc cannot,
and the party will not, allow even his de
feat before the Convention to interfere
with a mighty and successful effort to
secure a right man in the right pbrcc in
November. Though we arc earnestly ftr
Curtin first, we arc for ths success cf
those measures of Republicanism which
alone promise to restore peaca, and the
fullness and fatness of prosperity to the
Jmd, first, last, and all the time. When
this paper shall have reached the reader
the result will be fully known. In aJ-
vance of that knowledge our sentiment.
are fully and freely expressed.
Since the above was iu type a telegram
informs ub that Mr. Grow has withdrawn
from the contest for the Vice-Presidency
This secures the nomination, by the Con
veation, of Gov. Curtin.

port which was adopted : That the prompt
restoration of all the States to enjoyment
of all lights in the Uuion is esseutta
to our progress and prosperity as a ua
tion; that the Coustitutiou is the su
oreuic law of the land, and that the re
cent attempts of the Legislative brand
to uurp the office of the Executive am
destroy the power of ihc Judicial brand
of the Government are in utter violation
of its spirit; that by rigid economy

States to their just relations iu the
Union; that the President in judgiug o

The Registry Law.
The Registry Law now before the Leg
islature is a "ool one and ought to be
pised immediately. If this law had
been pushed through last winter, is would
have secured the election of a Republican
J udge of the Supreme Court. It is said,
however, that a sufficient number of
illegal vote have already been discovered
in the State in contested election caes,
to elect Judge Williams, who declines
from motives of delicacy, to contest the
lection. If, however, such is the case,
and can be so proven, we hardly think
Judge Sharswood would continue to hold
the situation. If he "does, the people
ought to take the matter into their own
hands and see it executed.
The registry bill makes the election'
board the registers, aud the names of all
known legal voters can be put on the list
without their meeting the board. It is
only the doubtful voters who must ap-
prear and prove their right to vote, ten
days before the election. This gives time
to examine their qualification, and also to
as-certain whether their naturalization p-a
pers are genuine or not. and whether they
belong to living or dead perss i;s It also
provides for a diucieut mode of assess
mcnt. J he assessors are required togiv
in -addition to name, the place of reai
dencc and. occupation, which is an nu
portant feature.
lc ought by all means, to be pushc
through the Legislature before the Spriu
assessments commence, and we hope the
Republican press of the State will urge
prompt action on the bill. Ilu-lf the cop
perhead triumphs which occasionally oc
cur, are gained by fraud. Pvttsville

The Pennsylvania Democratic Conven
tion has resolved that "in enacting "the
Tenurc-of -office law, the .executive "an
legislative branches of the Government
each had a right to judge of "its cousti
tutionality." Very true. The Pre.4
dent, judging of "its constitutionality'
for himself, disobeys the act. The House
judging for itself, impeaches him for it;
and the Senate, judging of the same ques-
tion lor itself, convicts and removes him
from office. Mr. Johuson is at full liber
ty to regard the act unconstitutional if it
aifordd him any comfort.

THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL.
Washington, March 7, 18G3.
There was nothing interesting in the
Senate yesterday aside from impeach
ment. The objections to Mr. Wade's be-
mg sworn were reneweu uy iuu lciuu-
cratic members. An attempt was made
to check debate on the point, by the en
forcement of the 23rd of the rules adopt
ed by the Senate on the 2nd for the con
duct of proceedings during the impeach
ment trial. Ihc Chief Justice held that
rules adopted prior to the organization as
a Couit ct Impeachment were not bin 1-
iDg. Mr. Drake appealed from this de
cision, when the Senate sustained the
Chief Justice by a vote of 24 to 20.
Mr. Hendricks finally withdrew his oh
lections, when iJr. aue ana ail ol the
uri i it . i
remaining Seuators were sworn, aud the
Chief Justice annouueed the Senate or
ganized as a Court for the-trial of An
drew Johnson. 1 he Chief Justice then
sixain stated his belief that rules adopted
by the Senate, as such were insufficient
for the goverutneut of the Court. He
accordingly put the question Whether
the rules adopted March 2nd shall be
considered rules of proceeding in the
Court ? There wa3 hut one negative.
The House aud the Managers of Impeach
ment were then notified that the Senate
was ready to proceed" with the trial. The
Managers soon appeared, anTl Mr. Bing
ham, Chairmau, demanded that coguiz-
ence be taken ot their appearance in
Court. It was then,, on motion of Mr.
Howard, ordered that Andrew Johnson
be summoned to appear at" the bar of the
Senate on Friday, Mureh 13th, to an
swer to the charges against him.
Washington, March S.
The summons to thc'Prcside.it is made
returnable on Friday, the lith, when the
President's coun.el will" ask for a delay
of thirty da3-s, but there is no probability
.that over a week or tea days, will be
granted him. Some of the Senators are
opp scdto giving him any more time th;.u
to the ensuing Monday, but there are
enough conservative SenJt.-rs to combine
with the Democrats to give him all the
t'.me hc needs.
The managers on the part of the Houc
have uot yet taken any testimony, and
all stories to the contrary are unfounded.
Several witnesses have volunteered, lut
none have as yet teen accepted by the
committee, nor has the .question of with
drawing Mr. Butler's article even beeu
suggested in the CJinmittec.
There is iijuch diversity of opinion as
to the d'irationcf the trial, an 1 although
no accurate estimate can be formed at
this time, it is nioit likely that the triil
will last uutil the middle or Lst of April.
No one hero who has an opportunity to
judge and who can look upon the issue
impartially, doubts a conviction at no dis
tant day, aud none believe that Mr. John
sou can so far overcome his insatiated
thirst for office as to resigu even for a
day or an uour.
The President stated to a member
Congress -esterday that hereafter atl in
Ifrim Thomas would be invited to atteud
Cabinet meetings, and should be rccogiz
ed as Secretary of War, aud if any one
did uot like to have him cxerciso the du
ties of the office they could resort to lega
proceedings to remedy it. What demon
stration he will make to get possession o
the War Department none can tell : pro
bibly none beyond his usual demand
He may open a War oGice in the WJiite

of which are open to him.

timate the number of the insane in the
State at 3,500, of which 1,500 are In asy
lums, 500 in the alms houses, leaving 1,
000 entirely unprovided for. This ap-
proximatum is certainly understated, and
an accurate census would disclose a iuuch
larger number of these unfortunate suffer
ers. The necessity of State aid was fully pro
ved by the report of Comiiiissioiier Marlorv

fearful condition of the insane of this

The charge that Republicans make the
matter of impeachment a party questiou
is eOectually disproved by. the course of
the party in the New-York Assembly.
Mr. " Dorn, a Republican, one of the Ca
nal Commissioners, has been charged
with malfeasance in ofTice by a Democratic
Af-scu.bly man from Kings (Vnnty. Af
ter lull deliberation the artk-k-s cf im
peachment have been agreed upon, and
when the main question came to a vote
ou Thursday there was but oDe negative.
The Republicans, by cotumou consent,
invite the most searching investigation.
At Washington the case is dillcrcut. As
a matter of party discipline the entire
Democratic force goes squarely against s.
trial, and then every man of tlu-m i-ritx
out that the Republicans are tucking it at
party question. It would be news to the
country if we could show smy ii.vpiHtant
question in any legislative body that the
Democracy did not debate un 1 adjudge
from a purely partisan ttand-poiut.

More Lottery Enterprise.
Circulars are being sent around by par
tics in New York, addressed to person
claiming to have drawn prizes in the va
rious lottery schemes so prevalent of
late, aud which prizes they have not re
ceived. These parties say they will re
cover the prizes for claimants, ('the sum
ol S'i" is forwarded to them. This plan
may entrap some of the unwary. It is
evidently a confidence g.ime of the same
stamp as the lotteries themselves. The
$2 required to be remitted will, in all
probability, take the same direction aa
the one dollar or the five dollars previ
ously pnid for the tickets in the lotterv.

In every view ol the cae,. removal by
impeachment of Andrew Johnson, will be
beneficial to the nation It will save the

Levenue service will uave its morale aud
honesty restored ; business will revive :

can do the people no better service than
to remove this worst of obstacles to peace

" I stated that the law was binding on
me, constitutional or not, until set i.side
by the proper tribunal." So wrote (Jen.
Grant to l'resideut Johnson in the cor
respondence about Stanton's restoration
to the War Office. That doctrine will do
to stand by. The l'resideut has uo more
right to decide upon the constitutiouality
of a law thau we h:ive. Such decision
must be made by the Supreme Court in
regular sessiou. Een the Judges, as
individuals, have uo right to retuse obc-
dieueo to a law because they think aud
may hereafter decide it to be agaiust
the Constitution.
Don Piatt, in a letter to the N. V. 7Vf

is the orgnizc l ignorance and blind pre

Democratic party will come up shoutiug
