B. HAMIB, IMttor A ProprDMer. HimillRV.rA. a3 SATURDAY, MARCH 83, 18G7. , A MBW TEST FOB DEMOCHACT. Our damocralic friends, in tbis County, at elxowlicre, lire la ft quandary. They linve Cot only lost faith, fa lint U termed mo dern democracy, but in the individual mem ber of the purty. They cannot trust each other, and have therefore come to the con rlution to put the Democracy of Northnm IwrUnd county under linnd. Hereafter tbore will be rery few free and ontram meled democrats. At a meeting of the Standing Committee, on the 11th inst., a committed appointed for the purpose, re ported a form of oath, with a sett of rules requiring the persons holding the pr.iinnry elections to go. voluntarily before a Justice, od swear that they will boldthe said election according to the rules of the pnrty. " The rules read as follows i ' 1st. That the above oath ornflirmntinn bo administered to the above named officers, ball be taken before a Justice of the Peace, or aome one legally authorized to administer oaths or affirmations. id. This committee would recommend tbo repeal of the resolution passed by the Standing Committee at tliuir last meeting, imposing a certain amount fixed on candi dates for the payment of expenses of th'j election campaigns. 8d. All persous who rotef? the whole Democratic ticket, or nearly so, at the Inst Uenerul Election for State and county offi cers previous to the one offering to vote, and still continue to remain faithtul Demo crats, shall be entitled to vote at the Pri mary Election for nominating candidates. 4th. That none but qualified Dcmooratlo electors, according to the laws of Pennsyl vania, and within their own districts, shall bo entitled to vote, or interfere with tbo same at the Primary Election for the nomi nation of candidates at any such election within the said county of Northumberland. J. R. lln.nrsn, 1 Q.J. IIartleix, Committee. J. W. Hoffman, ) The 2d rule discloses tlfe fact that candi dates for office are assessed to pay expenses. Burely this is contrary to the principles of true domocracy. No democrat should use money to procure his election. The 8d rulo is rather muddled. The voter must have voted tho whole democratic ticket, "or nearly so." There have been so many of the faithful who have been lately kicking over the traces that some such clause or loop-hole, for escape, was necessary, The words "or nearly so" will allow great lati tude of opinion. The Judge, under his new tangled oath, not tho "iron clad oath," will, bo doubt, be liberal, and proclaim that "Whilst the lump of life hold, out to burn, The vilett (part;) inner tuny return. " The 4th rule limits the right of suffrage only "to none but qualified Democratic dec- tors, according to tho laws of Pennsylvania." If the Committee will only refer to the book and page of that celebrated law of Pennsyl vania that confers the right of suffrage only on Democrats, they will readily carry every district in the State. The chairman of the Standing Committee will, no doubt, enforce tho laws and see that the right of suffrage la kept pure, and that none but democrats be allowed to vote hereafter. THE SUNDAY CAR QUESTION IN THE SENATE. The Sunday car question was debated in tbe Senate, on Tuesday last, or rather Mr. , ..Lo wry made a rampant speech in opposi tion to tho bill allowing the citizens, them selves, to decide by vote, whether the poor people of Philadelphia shall have the same privilege to ride out in the fresh air on Sun . day, in the poor man's carriago, as is quiet ly accorded to the rich, on the same doy, in their private carriages. As this speech was commended and endorsed by our cotempo rary of the Ilarrisburg Telegraph, we ex pected to find something more than mere as sertions and rough witticisms when we read it, but wo failed to find in it one single argu ment that, in our opinion, ought to have weight with any liberal-minded and inteli gent christian or moralist who Las investi gated the subject. The real question at is sue is: What is the proper observance of the Sabbath t admitting that Sunday should be kept as the Sabbath. Some of our most eminent divines differ in what should be re garded as an observance of the Sabbath. To those who think it right to compel others, who may differ with them, to adopt . their views and opinions on moral and re ligious subjects, we commend the bold and eraphntle language of the great German Re form on this subject, who says ; "Keep it (Sunday) holy for its use sake, "both to body and to soul. Hut, if any "whero tbe day is made holy for the mere "day's sake, if anywhere any one sets op its "observance upon a Jewish foundation, then "I order you to work on it, ride on it, to "dance on it, to feast on it, to do everything "that shall reprove this encroachment." Such was the opinion of a great and good man, who bravely fought tyrranny, bigotry and intolerance, in every form, and was not afraid to meet bis powerful accusers, face to face, "if there wero as many devils In Worms as tlrlre were tiles on tbe houses.'1 Uu was in favor of observing the Sabbath, but would never sanction intolerance of opinion in matters on which good men may differ. That Mr. Low ry ahould be tbe champion of the opposition, on this subject, surprises even himself, who says be expects the ridi cule of tbe Press at borne. lrif Tiik Southern Stutes have suffered severely from the recent wars. Whole dis tricts of country have been submerged by fluods. In some parts on the Mississippi, the floods have extended over the country, back to the bills, a distance of thirty miles. Our Southern brcthern have been severely punished fur their sins of omission and com mission. After tho sufferings and depriva tions of tbe cruel war, tbey brought upon themselves, tbey were visited with a famine that left same districts in a state of absolute starvation until aid was Kent them. And now to add to their cup of affliction, tboir country is submerged by water. ti7 Post Master at Pnir,AiEi.iHiA. We are pleasod to learn that the nomination of Col. II. 11. Bingham, for Post Master at Philadelphia, has been confirmed by tbe foliate. Col. Itinglmin Is a young man of excellent character and superior abilities. Duriug the war be was a favorite officer on Jeo. Hancock's staff. A few months since Mr. C. M. Hall, tbe late Tost M inter, offered lim tbe chief cleiksbip of the Philadelphia I'oAt cfflc, which Is accepted. ' 'i3firEAi:M.'ttr..Tr TJndcr the Constitntion of tho United States the subject of Impeachment are the President,' the Vice-President, ancV all civil officers, ami tha offenses for which they may be impeached we treason, bribery, aad ether high crimes aad mlsitcaiealors. '.The ar ticles of accusation isuit be lodged by the House of Representatives and tried by tbe Senate. The usual course is for a member of tbe House to introduce a resolution either preferring Charges; or calling for a' com mittee of inquiry. ' After the resolution of impeachment has passed the House, a com mittee is appointed to conduct the prosecu tion at the bar of the Senate. A vote of two-thirds of the Senators present is neces sary for conviction. When the President is tried the Chief Justice must preside. The Judgmout cannot extend beyond removal from office and disqualification to hold any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States. The y. T. Tribune, speak ing on this subject, says : The case of Bacon was only one of seve ral which the same Parliament pursued and punished. Sir Giles Mompesson, Sir Francis Mitchell, Bonnet, Judge of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, Field, Bishop of Lan daff, Yelverton, tbe Attorney General, were all prosecuted within a few months, and a barrister named Floyd, for no more serious ciiVuse than rejoicing at the expulsion of tbe Palatine from Prague, was sentenced to be degraded from the estate of a gentleman and declared infamous, to stand in the pil lory, to be fined 5,000, to be imprisoned for iife, and to be whipped at the cart's tail. The whipping, was afterward remit ted. Three years later, in 1624, the Lord Treasurer. Middlesex, having been impeach ed, through the influence of Buckingham, of bribery, oppression, and neglect ot duty, was condemned to pav a fine of 50,000, and to be imprisoned during pleasure, and for ever excluded from Parliament and the vcrce of the Court. But when the memora ble conflict between the King and Parlia ment, ending in the revolution and Protec torate, broke out in tho next reign, tbe im peaebment of Buckingham himselt was a subject of long and angry controversy. The protection of Clitrlcs "I., who went to the length of dissolving Parliament in order to save his favorito, could not have shielded the Duke long from the vengeanco of the Commons ; but bis career was cut short by the knife of an assassin. . The power of impeachment now became, in tbe hands of the popular party led by Pym and Hampden, a weapon of tremen dous power, and they used it without mcrcv. On the 11th of November, 1040, the House of Commons debated with closed doors, and when these were opened, a ma ioritv of the members, with Pym at their bead, proceeded to the bar of the Lords and impeached Stafford, the most obnoxious of the royal ministers, of high treason. The trial took place in Westminster Hall tbo following March. Next to tbe trial of Vt arren Hastings, it was probably tne most remarkable impeachment case in English history. The Commons sat on elevuted benches on each side of the Lords. The King and Queen occupied private boxes be hind the throne, hoping vainly that their presence would act as a check upon the for wardness of the witnesses and tbe violence of the managers. A gallery was erected for ladies, who paid bigU prices tor admission. The trial lasted thirteen days. Tbe specta tors used to come aa early as five in the mornincr. By seven tbe ball was full. Tho proceedings began at nine, and were often prolonged till two, three, or four o'clock in tbe morning without intermission. The Commons ubandoned the impeachment and introduced in their own body a bill of at tainder, charging Stafford with an attempt to subvert tbe liberties of the country. Convicted and sentenced to death he met his fate with magnificent calmness and dig nity, und has doubtic&s received a more le nient judgment Iron posterity than if bis fate bad been less cruel and his prosecutors more merciful. When Stafford was led out to execution, he knelt before tbe window of a cell which he had to pass, and begged tbe blessing of Archbishop Laud, who was there imprison ed on charges similar to those for which tbe Earl himself was to suffer. Laud was im peached, and, after a year and a quarter, was brought to trial. The cause was pro longed six months, and then was tcrmiua ted just aa Strafford's bad been. The Com mons, despairing of a conviction before tbe Upper House, brought in a bill of attainder, and tbe Archbishop was beheaded. Impeachments, indeed, from tbe time forth, seem to have been, with a very few exceptions, tedious, irritating, and expen sive failures. Charles L impeached the leaders of the Parliamentary party ; but his action was clearly unconstitutional, and nothing came of it. Lord Clarendon was impeached of high treason in the reign of Charles II., aud went into voluntary exile. Lords Arlington and Danby were impeach ed in the same reign, and the prosecution failed. But during tbe insane period of Oates's "Popish Plot," tbe venerable Vis count Stafford was placed at the bar of the House of Lords, charged with complicity in that imaginary scheme, and after a seven daya trial was convicted and executed. His death bad an effect very different from what bis prosecutors desired, and probably did more tban any other thing to arouse the nation from its bloody dream of plots and conspiracy. Indeed tbe tendency of im peachment in modern times has almost al ways been to raise tbe prisoner to the digni ty of martyrdom, and benefit tbe cause for which be suffers. The circumstances of the trial of Warren Hastings are so well known that we need only briefly refer to them. Impeached for tyrannical and corrupt practices during his administration as Governor-General of Bri tish India, he was tried before ono of tbe most distinguished assemblages that ever gathered in Westminster Hall Burke, Fox, and Sheridan making some of tbeir most celebrated speeches as managers on behalf of tho Commons. Tbe articles of impeach ment were brought forward in April, 1780. Two sessions were consumed in preliminary measures. Tbe trial began in February, 1788, and lasted until April, 1705, one hun dred and forty eight d-iys having been actually consumed in tbe process. Hastings was acquitted by Jarge majorities on all tho charges, and puolic opinion, which was savagely hostile to him at the beginning, was strongly in his favor before tbe end ; and iu neither case was precisely just. Henry Dundas, Viscount Melville, the celebrated colleague and friend of Pitt, was impeached in 1805 for misapplication of the fiublic money and complicity with a swind iug paymaster, while Treasurer of the Navy. His trial began in Westminster Hall, May 20, 1800, and on the 13th of June be was acquitted by a large majority a result which satisfied nobody of the innocence of the accused, and tended to bring into con tempt both tbe House of Lords and the practice of trial by impeachment That was the last notable Uial of tbe kind which bas taken place in England. William Blount, a Senator from Tennes see, was impeached in 1797, for having in trigued to transfer New Orleans and the neighboring districts to Great Britian, by means of a joint expedition of English and Indiana. A long time was spent fn discus siog the affair, aud it was finally dropped by tbe Houw, tbe Senate having passed a rtiaolutios) of expulsion. The ease of John Pickering, Judge of lh District Ceurt of ' -' tbe District of New Hampshire, who was impeached in March 180& is apccularono. Tbe trial began March 8. and closed on tbe all the charges, and judge Pickering was removed ! from : office. But! it waa clearly shown on tbe trial Hist tbe accaeed bad been for Several years totally deranged. TB itipeaohment or eamuei vnase, an saociata Justice of Ihe Supreme Court of the United States, for official misconduct, was the cause of great public excitement and party commotion in 1804-5. Judge Chase was one of the signers of the Declara tion of Independence, arealoos and. indus trious patriot during the Revolutionary War, and an able and upright judge, though sometimes Irascible and overbearing. The prosecution was Instigated and managed by John Randolph. The articles . embraced eight charges, and related chiefly to alleged arbitrary, unjust, and tyrannical conduct on certain political trials those of John Fries for treason, and of Taylor and tal lender for seditious libel.' After the examination of Mr. Chase's witnesses, seven daya were oc cupied in arguments on both sides, and on the 1st of March tbe vote was taken on each of the charges separately. ' There waa a ma jority in favor of the accused on flvo of the eight charges, and a majority against him on the others, but not the two-thirds re quired by tho Constitution to 'convict. He was accordingly discharged, and retained bis seat on the bench until bis death. James H. Peck, Judge of tho United States District Court for the District of Missouri, was impeached of high misdemea nors in office in 1830. The ground of ac cusation agaiust him was that he had Ira- Erisoned and suspended from . practicing in is court an attorney named Lawless, for an alleged contempt in commenting in a news paper communication upon one ot tne Judges dicisions. The articles of impeach ment were presented by Mr. uucnanan, May 4, 1830. Tbe trial began on the 20th of December, and lasted until the 31st of Jan uary, when the accused was pronounced acquitcd, twenty-one Senators having voted bim guilty and twentv-two not guilty. An attempt was made In 1843 to impeach President Tyler, and this movement derives especial interest from tbe closo resemblance between tue circumstances of Mr. Tylers case and that of Mr. Andrew Johnson. On tbe 10th of January, John Minor Botts presented charges in tbe House of Repre sentatives and uiovod for tbe appointment of a committee of inquiry. The charges accused tbe President ot gross usurpation of power ana violation ol law In ordering tue payment of rejected claims npon the Treas ury; of wickedly and corruptly abusing the fiowcr of appointment and removal; of retain ng men in office for months after they had been rejected by tbe Senate; of abusing tbe veto power, and of other high crimes and misdemeanors. The House refused by vote of 127 to 83, to appoint a committee of inquiry, and so tho matter was nllowed to drop. Judge Watrous of the United States Dis trict Court for the Western District of Texas was accused of official misconduct and cor ruption, and a Committee of the House of Representatives reported in February, 1807, in favor of his impeachment ; but after a ten months' discussion the affair was dismissed, the House resolving that there was no oc casion for further proceedings. The last case of impeachment before the United State Senate was that of West II. Humphreys, Judge of the District Court of the United states in tue District of Tennes see, for complicity in tbe Rebellion. The charges, seven in number, were presented in April 1802, and the trial took place on the 20th of June of the samo year, lasting only one day. The accused tailed to appear, and there was ot course no detense. lie was found guilty by nearly an unanimous vote, on all tho charges, and a sentence ot re moval and disqualification was passed with out a dissenting voice. Tho remedy by impeachment, like the Habeas Corpus act and other laws, is copied from tbe British Constitution. Tho earliest instance of Parliamentary impeachment was in 1370, when Lord Latimer, the Chamber lain, was tried and deposed from his office for extortion aud malversation of tbe public fund. When Richard II was deposed the form of impeachment was adopted. For sometimes tbe remedy by impeachment had fallen into disuse, but the corruptions, du the reign of James I, caussd its removal The most important case, during that reign was that of Lord Cbanceller Bacon, the great Philosopher, Judge and lawyer, who was deposed from office and fined 40,000. Ilia fine and imprisonment were remitted but he died, broken-hearted, five years after. Wednesday, 18th. In the Senate the Judiciary Committee reported a substitute for the House supplement to the Reconstruc tion act. Laid over, objection to its consi deration being made. A resolution for the appointment of a committee to inquire into the conduct of the Printing Bureau of tbe Treasury Department was agreed to. In tbe House, in Committee of the Whole was considered tbe Senate joint resolution appropriating 1 1.000,000 for the relief of the destitute people in the southern and southwestern States. Mr. Butler offered a substitute to the effect that $1,000,000 be appropriated for the relief of tbe widows and children of the Union soldiers starved to death in tbe rebel prisons of Anderson ville, Salsbury, Libby, Millen and Belle Isle, A lengthy discussion ensued, and the matter was not disposed or. Thursday, 14th. In the Senate Mr. Ram sey offered a bill authorizing the Southern Pacific Railroad toextcud iu road westward through New-Mexico and Arizona, to the east boundary of California. The supple mentary Reconstruction bill was taken up and discussed. In tho House Mr. Covodo desired to intro duce a resolution to appoint a committee to investigate certain reported irregularities in the Treasury Department, but objection was made. Mr. Julian introduced a bill to Ox the time for tbe election of Representatives and Delegates in Congress. Fkidat, 15th. The Senate passed the resolution prohibiting tbe sale or introduc tion of liquors into the Capitol buildings. Mr. Pomeroy introduced a bill to secure the speedy construction of the Union Pacific Railroad, southern branch, and telegraph line. Also, a bill granting lands to aid in tbe construction of a railroad and telegraph line from Lawrence, Kansas, to the Mexican boundary line. The supplemental Recon struction bill was debated for three hours. Mr. Sherman introduced a resolution to re move the disability to hold office from Robert M. Patton, of Alabama, and Joseph E.Brown of Georgia. , In the House the Committee on Retrench ment reported joint resolutions directing the Secretary of tbe Treasury to sell tbe gold, amounting to $100,000, claimed by the Richmond banks. An amendment that the coin be placed in the Treasury was agreed to, and the resolution waa passed. Mr. Wood called op the New York Custom House matter, and, after a discussion, Mr. llulburd's resolution to revive the Committee on Public Expenditures was adopted. Mr. Scbenck offered a resolution instructing tbe committee to inquire into tbo conduct of Henry A. Suiythe, tbe Collector of New York. . . . . Satcrdat, ltb.

Tbe bill as amended was then passed, ayes 88, nays 8. Messrs. Buckalew and Hendricks voted nay; and Mr. Johnson, of Md., voted for tbe bill. Tbe other Dem ocrats were absent. The bill goes back to tho House for- concurrence in the amend menti. .'1.1'' .-i . Tuesday, 10th. In the Senate upon mo tion of Mr. Trumbull, took up the House joint resolution suspending all proceedings relative to payment lot slaves enlisted or drafted into the ierv&e of the United States, but at the suggestion ot Mr. Davis it was aid over until to-day.

Some opposition being manifested to this resolution, on motion of M. Fessenden it was laid over. M. Conncss introduced a resolu tion of inquiry in relation to the divulging of the proceedings of the Senate in executive session, and authorizing the President of the Senate to inquire into tho matter, with authority to send tor persons and pnpera, At the request of Senator Conkling it was laid over until to day. The House bill to supply an omission in the enrolling of the bill to provide lor increased revenue upon Imported wool, was passed, as was also the bill authorizing the Secretary of War to is sue one complete suit of clothing to each invalid soldier in any regular soldier's home in the United States. Mr. Johnson stated in the Senate yesterday that it was tbe de sire of Hon. Philip F.

Mr. Cole introduced a bill to further define tbe qualifications of members of Con cress, but without action it went over. Tho committee of conference on the disagreeing votes ol the two Houses on the supplemen tary reconstruction bill made a report, which was concurred in, and tho Senate went into executive session and soon after adjourned 1 ho House agreed to a Ioint resolution prohibiting the further issue of agricultural college scrip to any State lately in rebellion except Tennessee, until they Bhall have been restored to their rights as States in tho Luton. Mr. Stevens called up the bill uitro duccd by him some days ago to confiscate the property or those engaged in the rebel lion. This bill is sweeping in its provisions, and should it become a law. would be terrible blow to the already prostrate and suffering South. Mr. Stevens undertook to address the House at length in support of his bill, but bo was overcome by his physical infirmities, and bis speech was read for him by the Clerk, at the conclusion of which the whole subject was postponed until the sec ond Tuesday in December next. The House then took up the bill appropriating one million of dollars for relief of the destitute in the South, but after a somewhat rambling debate, it was laid over without action. Tho conference committee on the disagreeing votes on the supplementary reconstruction bill made a report; which was concurred in, and the House then adjourned. Terrible Itlot at Carlielet Carlisle, Pa., March 10, 1807. Last evening two soldiers came into town. When near the Court House, they were attacked by A. Uammil and P. Gilmorc. Neither party were hurt. The soldiers then left for tbe garrison. At 8 o'clock about fifty sol diers came in town, armed with carbines, revolvers, sabres, and halted near the Court House and fired into a crowd of citizens who were standing near the point where the polls were located. The citizens drew revolvers and fired, when a general riot ensued. The soldiers ran and the citizens pursued the soldiers firing back, and when, on reaching the edge of the town, they took a position. The guard came in from the post, and the firing was kept up. The guard having ar rested 'some citizens and started for tbe gar rison, meeting Hammil, who had a gun, was ordered by the guard to lay it down. On refusing be shot him. The ball struck left of the right nipple, And came out near the left shoulder blade. Ho died in three hours.

Tbe important towns of Orizaba and Cordo va have been occupied by the Liberals, who expected also to capture Vera Cruz immedi ately after the departure of tbe French. Tbe great battle between Maximilian and tbe Liberals was expected to take place about tbe 10th of March, but if we are to judge from certain passages in tbe late accounts Max. will aim for the coast and be glad to get away with a whole skin.

The continuoua though moderate raina we have bad for the last month, extended to tbe west and southwest, but there they were very heavy, raising the rivers to an inordinate height. A fearful amount of damage has been the consequence in Tennessee, western Virginia, Ohio, Indi ana and other States. The lower portion of Cincinnati was submerged, and in Covington, on the Kentucky side, hundreds of houses were under water. Near Louisville, the river is reported to have flooded a tract of country thirty miles wide, completely devas tating the farms along tbe bank. Stacks of bay, wheat, oats, &c, have been washed , away, and nearly all tbe steamboat landings are under water. In East Tennessee bouses, mills, barns, and bridges without number have been carried away, and railroad travel bos been almost entirely suspended. Tbe damage to tbis section alone is estimated at $3,000,000. . Tbe levee near Mound City gave way, and that city is threatened with inundation.
