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. '

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

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.

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

a million of dollars. General Carlin, at
Nashville, was making efforts to send rations
