The Impeachment.
The trial of President Johnson under
the Iropcachineut resolutiou cf tlie House
in still progressing. Since oar last issue
the Senate adopted a resolution giving
all the managers and counsel iu the case
the privilege of filing written or printed
argunieuts, or of making oral arguments
in the case. The gentlemen concerned
-agreed to avail themselves qf the latter
"privilege, and the consequence i that the
od has been postponed it least one
week. It is now presumed that Tuesday
next will see the end of the cafe, and
that until that time we must accept A. J.
as he It, the President, instead of the great
cufiteJ, as he certainly will be, if justice
is douc him. Of the necessity of ihis
much speechifying, we have our doubts;
hut it may probably be a3 well to let the
public see, in all their bearings, the merits
of the case, as they will be ably set forth,
by learned and distinguished jurists, both
for snd agaiat the President.
After a close following up of the evi
denca ou both sides, we do cot see the
remotest possibility of an acquittal on
any one of the eleven articles of Impeach
jpeat. Several of our Democratic cotem
rporaries pretend to look for an acquittal;
but the lTrryihey bellow about executive
privilege and the constitutional rights ol
A. J. President, in connection with the
trial, shows plainly enough that they do
cot believe the doctrine they teach.
JJthers, again, of the Democratic editors.
ul kniong these the notorious " Brick
Pomroy," stand prominent, see that A. J.'a
treachery will be mo?t deservedly punish
ed by impeachment. These are denying
all political connection with him; and are
so honey combing the foundation of the
party, as to permit him to fall quietly
through into that oblivion which every
.sense of right indicates to be his.
.It is a hard fate indeed which awaits
Andrew Johnson ; but it is the fate which
should await all, who, fcr personal ad
v aceirent or aaranlisement sell them
selve?, and attempt to sell those who
made them what they are, to those who.
i; times that tries meu's pouI?, did every
. thing to destroy our country' liberties,
.n ujt a thing to save them. The trea
e n to party so boldly exhibited by An
drew Juhoaon was a savory morsel uuder
tr.ii tongue of Copperhead Democrats
Nnr-h, asd rr. !rif;ve rel-eh S..u:h, but
the traitor himself prced to be too nau
scoua a uoee even for these to swallow.
After the cry of the hour over the con
viction, and which will only be indulged
for the political capital it premise?, the
Democracy will bury A. J. among the
rontemptible dead things cf the party
the opposition to the war, the aid and
comfort famished to the rebs, and the
thousand and one -other mean things
which they are now attempting to hide
away from the recollection or the people.
No man was ever elected to a position
with more eutbusiasm on the part of his
elector, than was Andrew Johnson to the
Vice-Presidency ; and no man will ever
I 9 kicked out of a position, to whose fate
t! electors for the time being will feci
incline! to shout a more enthusiastic
Aiscu.

SST Horse Stolen. On the ISth
of April inst, a horse was etolea fiom
George J acob Miller, of Jackson township,
, from which time, until a few days ago.'
when he was discovered in the possession
cf David Marvin, of Sussex County, X. J.,
nothing was heard of his whereabouts.'
Oo Tuesday Henry E. Marvio, a son in
law of Mr. Miller, was arrested, and
charged with the theft. He had a hear
ing before Esquire Recs on the came
day, who held him to bail in the bum of
1,000 for Lis appearance at Court, Ezra
Marvin, Esq., father of the accused, bo
oooiiog bail.

K&y AuiCtg the distinguished anivalj
iu town, during Jjst week;. we noticed
that of Joiah p. lietricb, Esq., the dig
uified ted affable Revenue Collector of
the 12th Congressional District cf IV
We were pleased to see the Collector
looking so well, and to learn that, though
we were favored with none of his smiles,
his countenance wore a continued sub
dued smile during the whole of his so
journ here. The Collector was accompa
nied by one of his aids; and rumor has it,
that the object of his visit was to dis
cuss, with the faithful, the propriety ol
holding another Graud Wigwam Conven
tion about the Dog days. Iu view of the
impeachment prospect, it is presumed
that, by some such move as this, the pros
pect of the " Bread and Butter Brigade
which now look squally euough, may be
somewhat amended. But we fear it will
not work, as " clubs and sloues " are em
ployed by large politician, as well as
'small boys," in ''knocking the best ap
pies from the trees," aud Josiah's position
is really a luscious looking fruit.
Cabinet Making.
We notice that a number of our coteua
poraries,both Republican and Democratic,
have gone into the cabinet making bust
ness. on quite an extensive scale. They
have Lhored so heartily and rapidly in
the work, that they have already got to
gether several complete salts ready fur
Mr. Wade when he seaU himself in the
Presidential chair. As old Ben. is no
slouch, when hewing, slashing and fitting
up is necessary, we opine that it would be
just as-well to ease up a little, aud re
what he says and docs Tor himself. When
Johnson retires to his goose and lapboard
in Tennessee, it will Le time enough to
see wht is wanted; and if Ben. Wade
isn't the man to suit himself and the
country Letter than any one else can do
it, we are much mistaken. Of oce thing
we mav all rest assured the new furni
ture will be made cf the toughest and
bestsea.'oncd materia! the country nlTcrds.
Not a beard will be used that has not been
well tried and proved just the thing, and
not a nail but what is just as it should
be
Let us let eld Ben. alone.
SsaT The Festival held by the ladies of
tho Presbyterian Church, on Thursday
aud Friday evenings last. ia.G. II. Mil
ler's Bic-rerooto, djwn town, proved, we
are p'ensed to learn, a "successful opera
tion. Quite a nice little sum was netted
on the occasion. We presume that mere
efforts of the same kind will follow, and
be alike successful. Certainly there can
be no more pleasant way of spending an
evening, and no more worthy way of be
stowing our spare means, than in beauti
fying and furnishing a house dsvotei to
the Giver of ail good gifts.
t& Mechanics, builders, farmers, and
others, should not fail to read the card of

A btjva devoted to the sal- cf Hardware

profitable to consumers to deal with the

Mr. Editor,
As a friend of the hutean family, and
of English Grammar, I do beg of you to

"Tlie Jefforcoman. '
Our pleasant neighbor of the Democrat
must have been in a particularly amiable
mood towards himself, ourself, " the w orld
and all the rest of raankjuid,; wticn he
penned the articlu which appeared in his
paper of last week, over J he heading quoted
above. Like a lively lull on the rampanage,
he cavorted, and jumped, and kicked up and
butted at an amusing rite scattering his
froth on all sides, and making personal ex
positions which would better hive been left
unexposed, but reaily injuring no one that
we have heard of lo any aluming extent,
unices it was himself.
"Double dealing." " stigmatize" aud
'malign," are words which he employs
with a perfect racine?, in ciakicj public
Liu impression that we are not pleased with
the course he sees " Gl to pursue in the Mon
roe Democrat" But words meqn nothing
unless ihey stand as the representatives of
ideas based upon matters of fact; and aa we
have no disposition to cavil with tho course
which our neighbor sees fit to pursue, but,
on the contrary, are so deeply in love with
it, that we would not have him alter it, a
single jot or tittle, on any account, theic
particular words, in his employment of them,
become but vcrricst nonsense. Again; he
tells us he has nothing against us. We en
tertain the idea that he really loves us, and
have no doubt that if we should happen to
meet him in enthusiastic France, in the ex
uberance of that love, ho would have hib
arms about our neck before we were aware
of it. Agiin: he tells us that he was in
the publishing business before he came to
Stroudsburg, and thinks he knows his bui
ncss. The.-c arc itema ct news for which
we. fscl unJer the most prufjund obli
gation. The public hereabout?, end i;mre
particularly his own co-pirtizsn-, have often
expressed themselves to us as believing, from
the evidence furni&lied in his weeklv heb-
dcminal, that he was but row making his
first essay in the walks ct editorial and pub
libhiug lire; and, one of his most particular
Democratic friends, has f:en apologized to
us for h;s ehtirt eoriiiugs, eclely oo tho score
of his professional verdancy. "Give him a
clur.ee" has often mid this friend "and he
will come out all right." He, also tells us
that he is " not the son of a Governor" onJ
that he "never lived on the charity of the
town." Wliiie, that he 13 not the une and
did not do the other, detect no'hing from,
neither would a contrary state of ficts add
to, his manly reputation. In getting into
busir.ers here he certainly had tho liberal
aid of friends, .isj for a time at least, wes,
it Lois not now, thusrsr, the recipient of their
charity. He 1 yK a young man, and whit
the utter end f i'e rmy h-iye in ftore for
hi:n liiiic ulo'ie can ttll. His li e thus lai
has not, in every thinj, been a success.
Though he docs r.ot tell us so in print, it i
a mi.ch cherished practice of his tj descant
lirgely upon his travels in' Europ.-, and whut
lie taw and did there. It is certain thai
his effort in the acq-i siticn of Theological
lore, which was ore of the objects of his i rip,
was a failure ; whilehisgener.il oxpos.tion
of himeelf an J v. hit come cf liis travel?, tut
furnishes farther a-iJ more convincing evi
dence of the truth cf the couplet

the writhing and squirming of our friend
of the Democrat, in order to get over

therefore, inclined to think his acquaint

that I eaid would meet its reward if ut

I have not thought it worth whilo in

A FIENDISH CONSPIRACY, -v
Sit Men Enter into a Written Agreement
to Wreck and Rob a Pay Train on the
. Jeffersonville Railroad-Arrest of the
Conspirators.
From the JVric Albany (Ind.) Cummer
cialAprilTZ. -
One of the most horrible conspiracies
tLat we Lave ever heard of had its denoue
ment yesterday. Some ten days ago sis
men, two of whom we do Dot mention, for
the reason that they have not Lcen arrest
ed, the other four named Hughes, Kinney
Ruck and Durkett, and a seventh named
Collier, entered into a written conspiracy
to wreck and rob the pay train on, the
Jeffersonville Railroad. . ,
The particulars cf this conspiracy, ' t
Dear we can gather them, are fSrout s
follows: A written agreement . waf
drawn op, settiu-? fourth the plan of thr
robbery. This plan contemplated an
the throwing of the pay train Ircta iMt
track at a point near Slate Cat, seme tfffl
miles out from Jeffersonville, the mardjr,
if necessary, of all those upon the train.
and the robbery of the paymaster's safe
of its contents, which it was thoueht
would be from twenty-five to thirty thous
sand dollars. , - :?
The article of agreement was of the
most terrible character. ; It bound eaeh
conspirator to commit murder as well as
robbery. It also stipulated that if any of
the conspirators were wounded in the af
fair so as to be unable to get away his
companions were to kill Lira and thus pat
it out of his powerto inform against them.
It was further acreed how the money was
to be divided, the share of each being
specified. The train was to Le tnrowa
from the track by removing or loosening
oue or more of the rails. It was alo
agreed that if there were more than the
usual number of persons with the train
that the conspirators were to fire upon
and kill them jut as the train was reach
ing the place where it was to be wrecked.
The details of the whole affair were sst

at the crime contemplated, and gave in
formation of the conspiracy to the Super
intendent of the road, Horace Seytr, Kq.
It was at once determined to send oat the
pay train on the usual day, snd to add to
it a Laggage car, in which several well
armed and courageous men were to be
placed, prepared and instructed to ehe;t
down the conspirators at sight.
Uurkett, one of the conspirators, was a
brakeman on the train, snd when the
baggage can was hitched on Monday night
he became alarmed, and immediately in
formed his co-eonpirators what had been
done, and they, fearing that they wouM
be overmatched in numbers, abandoned
the conspiracy. It is proper to say that
the conspiratori had solemnly sworn tf
kill any of their number who might be
tray the plot. Fortunately, the human
nature of one of them revolted at fhe hor
ror ; he gave information of the plot, and
a wholesale murdsr and robbery was thus
prevented.
Yesterday forenoon. Hughes (whose
parents are very respectable and live at
Bedford), Kinney, Ruck, Burkett aid
Collier were arrested at Jeffersonvillfr
the Utter to be held as a witness. The
officers were after the other two, and tkey
were probably arrested last night.
Altogether this is one of the most hor
rible conspiracies we have ever heard of.
The jdacc selected for the accomphshmenl
of the bloody designs of the Sends was a
retired locality, well snited to the pur
poses of the bloody villains. We do not
know what punishment the law awards to
sucli a crime, but if ever there was an in
stance in which the death penalty was
just, it certainly is in this one. All the
men engaged in the conpiracy except
two have hcee, or were, us til yesterday,
in the employ of the company.
The debt of the Borough of Kaston has
