JSgfOrKNINO OF THE PRESIDENTIAL
Campaios. Under this head, in large capi
tals, our neighbor of the Democrat has an
illustrated column of democratic arguments,
tnadc up of roosters, a spread eagle and a flag,
Leaded with euch choice epithets, "Impeach
ment of the Infamous Impeachcrs," "Thad
Steoent Kith, kit wench," "Duller teith his
ipoont," closing with this benediction,
"Thanh Ood for continued tietory to the ?t
fenlert of Liberty, the Union and Constitu
tion.'''' At first glance, we supposed that
Andrew Johnson had, by some hocus pocus,
escaped from the "infamous Iropeaehers,"
And hence the rejoicing of the Democrat over
tho escape of one whom that paper denoun
ced, several years since, as the greatest villain
unhung. But then Andrew was a radical
And Union man, and went even further than
Thad. Stevens, threatening the rebel no1
only with confiscation, but with the halter.
But since Andrew has pardoned everal
hundred Southern counterfeiters, forgers,
whiskey swindlers and other criminals, ho
lias found favor in the eyes of Copperhead
Journals, -who have a strange idea that
charity, whiskey and oflico cover a multi
tude of sins, and have therefore adopted An
drew as one of the saints in their political
calendar. But the great marvel is tho very
small capital required to got up a column
f bluster and rejoicing in our neighbor's
paper. The editor forgets that his party
is now not only under a cloud, but in
a hopeless minority, "without rudder, sails
or principles," and that even very large
gains can never resuscitate it. Whatever
little vitality was left in it, after the
war, has beon squelched cut by its contact
and unnatural assimilation with Johnsonism
aud tho rebels.
EjT"The appoiutmcut of Adjutant-Gen.
Thomas, as Secretary of War, ad interim, in
placo of Mr. Stanton, whoso stupidity aud
imbecility was made eo glaringly apparent
on his examination beforo the court of Im
peachment as a witness for the President, is
of itself a gross outrago, so much so that
oven some of the Democratic members of
Congress have declared that the President
deserved impeachment for making such a
stupid blunder. Tho New York Tribune,
referring to thia matter, says : "The Presi.
dent seems determined to add to the charge
of having appointed Gen. Thomas in viola
tion of the Constitution and the laws, tho
severer charge of having appointed an un
mitigated blockhead, in violation of com
mon senso. That any witness t.hould swear
minutely to a vaycty cf fact:, swear when
cross-examined with equal minuteness that
these facts wore all untruo, and swear again
on the redirect examination to their truth,
is marvelous even to those who have long
experience and familiarity with all sorts of
witnesses. Yet it is such a person whom
"public considerations of a high character"
" have impelled President Johnson to ap.
point to tho difficult and responsible office
of Secretary of War, in place of Mr. Stan
ton. Had no Tenuro of-Offico law evor been
passed, the forcible removal of Secretary
Stanton to make room for Lorenzo Thomas
would have justified impeachment, if for no
other cause than that, with nobody but Gen
Thomas in tho oflico, there would have been
a perpetual vacancy."
217" Thr Impeachment Tkial. Tho
counsel for tho President having called Gen.
Sherman to give bis opinion and the dccla
rations of the President, in regard to the
suspension of Secretary Stanton, the qucs
tion of admitting such evidence was ably
argued by counsel on both sides, but the
counsel for the President were utterly over
whelmed by their opponents, and the Senate
decided by a vote of 33 to 15 against tho
admission of such testimouy. Subsequent
ly, the Senato admitted Gen. Sherman to
give his views, aud the President's dcclara
tions, not because he could do so legally
but because they desired to give the Prcsi
dont the benefit of any thing that might
excuso bis crimiual conduct. They failed
however, in making out auythiag from Gen
Sherman's testimony. The managers have
conducted the caso with great ability. Gen
Butler, wins takes tho lead iu tho proatcu
tion, is iu his elcmout, and perhaps no man
In the Union is better Ctted for the position
Sr"TiiB Democrat does not seem to agroo
with us, that tho President is not entitled
to auy more rights than the humblest citi
zen. Tho present race of Democrats are fust
bocoming man-worshippers, if wu believe
their journals, and aro adopting tho opiuions
of Southern Democrats, that laborers arc
mere "mudsills of bocitty." The Dvuwcrut
answers us with eneera at and a seeming
justification of tho assassination of Lincoln,
thus following tho lead of Brick Pomcroy.
In regard to the right of suffrage in the
8ouib, we have ouly to say that iu South
Carolina, w here negroes preponderate, the
Democrats have decided to let negroes vote,
provided they hold a curtain, amount of pro
perty, 'f bo truth is, the Democrats nowhere
object to negro suffrage where they cau bo
id ado to vote tho Democratic ticket.
KIT'Tue Democrat affects to tbiuk that
Geo. Grant la not popular. Tho editor has
changed hi tune,' wonderfully, of late. Gen
Lorenzo Thomas seems to be the pet mili
tary man of the Democracy now. Trot him
out, neighbor, for the Presidency.

A friend, who takes exceptions to the stric
tures wo publish od, condemning tho proce
dure and trial of Rev. Mr. Tyng, for an al
leged violation of tho canons of the Epis
copal church, In preaching in a Methodist
meeting house, sends us the following ex
tract from a New York paper, to show what
can bd said on tho other side of the question,
as well aa some comments of too scoulat
press, censuring Mr. Tyng's conduct. In re
ply, we can only aay that two wrongs never
make a right, and that, in our opinion, the
exercise of such extreme and intolerant mea
sures cannot be justified in any country whero
civil and religions liberty is the pride and
blessing of the people. Tho following is
.the extract:
"The Rev. Lorcn Stiles waa stationed at
Albion. Uo was ono of the most devoted
and popular preachers in Western New
York. On a week day evening he preached
in the Presbyterian church in Ilolley, a vil
lage some ten miles distant. There was no
other Methodist meeting at any time within
three miles of the place. But the Methodist
preacher at Hulberton had a few members
residing at Ilolley. lie thcicfore obtained
an order from the Rev. A. D. Wilbcr forbid
ding Mr. Stiles to preach in Hoi ley. Mr,
Stiles paid no attention to tho prohibition,
but contiuued to preach as ho had done be
fore. For tills, and for allowing Mr. Roberta
to exhort one evening a short Lime in one"
of his meetings, he was brought to trial at
the next session of the Coui'urctice. Theso
were all tho offences proved against him.
Yet he was not merely reprimanded, but tho
highest penalty known to ecclesiastical law
was inflicted upon him. He teas deponed
from the ministry and excommunicated from
the Church! Yet tho law of tho Methodist
Church was entirely in Mr. Slilcsa favor. It
reads as follows :
"You have nothing to do but to save
'souls; therefore spend and bo spent iu this
'work; aud go always not only to those
'that want you, but to those that want you
'most. Observe I it is not your business only
'to preach so many times, and to take care of
'this or that society, but to save as many as
'you can, and to bring as many siuuers as
'you can to repentance, and with all your
'power to build them up in that holiness
'without which they cannot aeo the Lord."
In this caso the Methodist pupcrs had no
thing to say. Would it not bo well to pull
the beam from their own cyo before being
so very zoalous iu plucking tho mote fiom
a brotiier'8 eye J
A Fhke JIkthodist."
New York, March 20, 18G8.
A BEGI8TBY LAW,
The Legislature has pessed, and the Gov
ernor signed, a supplement to our election
laws, requiring tho registration of voters
throughout the State. This is a much need
ed measure, and calculated to accomplish a
great deal of good in tho way of preventing
fraud at elections. Tho following is a sy
nopsis of tho mo6t important features of tho
bill :
Section 1. That the assessors shall make

OOOD EVIDENCE FOR COMVICTtOJJ.
Washisotok, . April Id. Good prog rest
waa made Jn tho trial to day. Mr. Curtis
finally concludod bis argumont. Without
any ceremony tho defence commenced on
their list of witnesses by calling
"AD INTERIM THOMAS,"
Who stepped briskly to tho stand, dressed
in the full uniform of a major general, and
his ooat buttoned up nearly to bis throat,
lie gavo hia respooces to Mr Stanbery's
questions in a loud, clear voico, and got
along finely until he was turnod over to the
tender mercies of General Butler for cross
examination. His testimony tip to that period boro
strongly in the President's favor, but under
Mr. Butler's keen scalpel ho was converted
into a good witness for tho Managers, mak
ing the President's counsel regret that they
had ever called him. Sweuriug first that
he had no orders from tho President to use
force, and that he never intended to, he
finally confessed that he had meant to, and
was only deterred becauso ho did not want
to shed blood, which ho found would be
tho caso if he persisted in his attempts to
wrest away tho oflico and papers by force.
This is of the vital points of the conspir
acy, and the managers now have oue of the
conspirators put on the stand by the de
fense to swear that it was intended to have
used force. Then, again, Mr. Curtis labored
extensively through his opening to demon
strate that tho President had not removed
Mr. Stanton, but that ho was still Secretary
of War, and consequently he had not vio
lated tho Constitution; but, again, their
witness swore that ho was Secretary of War,
that Mr. Stanton was removed, and that
since the 21st of February ho had been re
cognized by the the President as the Secre
tary, aud attended all his Cabinet meetings.
So there aro several slight discrepancies
between the President and his counsel. !
They say Mr. Stanton was not removed
under tho Tenure of Office act, and Mr. But
ler produces au order signed by Androw
Johnson, stating that he was removed un
der that act. Next, they say, ho is not re
moved at all, and their leading witness
swears that he it removed, and that he is
Secretary, and is so recognized by the Presi
dent, and by the leading counsel while he
was iu tho Cabinet. As was anticipated
lust night, several Republican Senators vot
ed to day to give a pretty wide latitude to
tho President on gettug in his testimony.
Tho managers wero really tho gainers
thereby, ns it showed that there was noth
ing on that point which helped tho Presi
dent ; and, consequently, nothing lost in ad
mitting it. But when it comes to admitting
conversations between Johnsou and his
Cabinet, and others there will not bo so
many in favor of admitting tho evideuco
manufactured for thia occasion, although
several of the Republicans will voto to ad
mit everything that is offered regardless of
tho rules of evidence which govern ordi
nary law cases.
EVEHY BESATOHWAS PRESENT
To-day except Saulsbury,- who has gono
homo on the account of the illness of his
brother. Kvurytbing still points to an
early conclusion of tho case.
GENERAL BUTLER RECEIVED CONC.UATILA
TIOKS From all sides for his skillful handling of
Thomas, aud tho successful terminus.
Washinoton, April 11. General Thomas
was then recalled and examined by Mr.
Stanbcry. Tho President "told him to take

GENERAL SHERMAN ON THE STAND.
General Sherman was then called and ex.
amined by Mr. Statibery. Was in Washing
ton last winter, about tho 4th of December.
Was called here to meet the Indian Com
mission, bubseqticntly was assigned to
tho Board for Revising tho Regulations of
the Array. Had several interviews with the
President nboutthat time. Saw him alone.
Saw him also in company with General
Grunt. Had several interviews with him iu
relation to Mr. Stanton.
Mr. Bingham here arose to object to this
mocie or examination, winch was resumed.
J. by Mr. Stunbery ; Whilo hero did tho
President ask you if you would take charge
oi tue warunico!
Mr. Butler objected.
Mr. Stanbery. Woll, I will coom to it In
another way,
Q. At what time wero there interviews ?
A. About the time I havo indicated ; Gen
eral Grant was president at the time. Q.
What conversation took place between
you and the President t
Mr. Butler. I object. '
Mr. Stanbcry. I will reduce the question
to writing,
Tho Chief Justice. According to the
lato decision of the Senate, this evidence is
admissible. If it la desirable, however, I
will put the question to the Sonate.
Senator Cooness. On that I demand the
yeas and nays.
Mr. Stanbery then proceeded to make an
explanation. He said that testimony they
expected to elicit from General Sbermau
was vital, and he hoped it would pe admit
ted. Mr. GUobery here read from Mr. B'ltWs
eppuinj; speech to i-how the itfi K bo waut
ed to docido. Ha then proceeded to argue
at length in favor of allowing General Sher
man to answer the question put to him.
Tho admissibility of General Sherman's
evideno, in relation to the several conversa
tions he had with the. President, lead to a
protracted discussion, but tho Senate final
ly decided that private talk botwoea the
President aud General Sherman would not
be used as evidence in favor or against the
President. The counsel for tho President
made several other ineffectual efforts to in
troduce conversations of the President, but
tho Senate decided not to bear U. The
question of the inadmissibility was so plain
that even Buckalew, a groat spokesman for
tho President, voted "No."
Tho decision of this question will rule tho
main defenso of the Presidont out of order,
and it is coneceded that the trial must close
within the next tun days.
Waskinoton, April 13.
an excitino day.
This has been the most interesting and
exciting day of the trial, and both managers
and counsel rctiro from the field, both sides
claiming tho advantage. The President's
counsel had determined to try again to get
in as evidence Mr. Johnson's conversations
with Lieuwmant-Geneial Sherman, and
though they havo partially succeeded, what
they have got is no doubt more to their in
jury than their benefit. They aro in high
'spirits to night, thinking that the doors
aro now opened, and tkey can go on and
get in moro testimony of the same sort, and
call in General Rosscau and others whom
tho President tried to use as he subsequent
ly used Lorenzo Thomas ; and the Presi
dent's counsel further allego that they have
thu Cabinet officers and tho President's
confidential newspaper correspondents to
put on the witness stand.
Every inch of ground will, however, be
contested by tho managers, though, judging
from the way the Sonato voted to-day, there
is no certainty of keeping out or admitting
anything, and no rule by which tho future
action of tho Sonato can be foretold. The
galleries were not very well filled to day.
Tho Senators were all prcscntcxcept Messrs.
Saulsbury and Spraguc.
THE CONCLUDING SrKECRES.
Managers Williams, Stevens, and Bout
well made an attempt to get the rules so
amended as to givo mure latitude to the
counsel and managers in the conclusion'of
the case, but the Senate seemed restive, un
der the idea that it would prolong the case,
and tabled the wholo question by t!8 yeas
to 10 nays.
LlECT.-GENEIiAL 8HEKMAN AtlAIN ON THE
STAND.
Lieutenant General Sherman, with all
eyes turned upon him, then resumed his
place at tho Clerk's desk, and Mr. Stanbery
asKcd linu what advice bo bad given Mr,
Johnson as to the putting of another man
at tho head ot the War Oluce t Quickly,
Mr. Butler objected, and Mr. Bingham, in
ten minutes, demonstrated clearly the im
propriety of any such question. Mr. Stan
bcry claimed that be had the right to call
witnesses ad infinitum to show the necessity
for Mr. Stanton's removal. General Butler
appealed to tho Senato to close the doors
Bgainst testimony which was not evidence,
and was only ahked for political effect, aud
could not bo lawfully admitted. No man
could authorize another to commit crime.
Senator Conkling showed the fallacy of
Mr. Staubery's question, by himself asking
if they proposed to show that tho witucss
advised tho President that tho removal of
Secretary Stanton was essential to the ser
vice, or that tho PrusU'cut should nominate
some ouo else to tho Senate. Mr. Stanbcry
said that ho proposed to show that tho ad
vice was that the removal was for the good
oi th pcrvicc. 3!r. Fuller demolished this
position, aud Mr Evarts tried in vuia to I
recover tho lost ground. Tho Senate re-1
fused to allow Mr. Staiibcrv's question by !
vote of thiity-five to fifteen. Senators I
Anthony, Grimes, Fowler, Ross,
TrtrTlibtll I
and Van Winkle voting with the Democrats
in tho minority, whilo Messrs. Davis and
Norton voted with the Republicans in the
majority. Mr. Sumner did not vote, though
he was iu his scat.
The managers then felt secure, and san
guine that the case would proceed in a pro
per and expeditious manner. Mr. Stanberv
appeared disconcerted and there was a lull
tor a tew
a few minutes, when Hevordy Johnson !
ctl GcDorul Bbermun it'he ever advisud
President to appoint another person as
asked
tho
Secretary of War, and the Senate rejected
this question by a vote of R2 to 18, Senntors
Edmunds, Fcssonden and Henderson, in ad
dition to tho fifteen above, going over to
the Democrats, and Sumner still not voting.
This discomfitted the counsel so much that
they abandoned all hopes of making any
thing out of the Lieutenant Gcneral, and
they reluctantly dismissed him.
A RECESS.
Mr. Ross moved that the Senato take a
recess. Half an hour was thus gained for
consultation und arrangement.
OENEitAL FUCRMAN RECALLED.
On re-assembling, some immaterial testi
mony being disposed of, Rovercly Johnson
rose, and to tho great surpriso of tho mana
gers, asked to havo General Sherman put
upon tho stand. This done, ho abked,
whethtT, when tho President tendered to
him the office of Secretary of War ho stated
what his purpose was in so doing I ThU
was in substance aud effect Mr. Henderson's
question of Saturday, which was voted I
down by 27 to 23, aud nearly every one ex-
petted it to bo summarily voted down
again, but beforo the roll-call waa half
through a murmur tprcad that it waa to be
admitted, aud soon thereafter it was an
nounced 20 yeas, and 22 nays. Those vot
ing for it iu addition to those who voted
for it on Saturday were, Senatora Preling
huysen. Morrill (Vt.) Whilo Mr. Hendricks
did not vote and bprague was absent.
Then General Hlierman made hia reply
to a breathless audience, and then another
question was asked, If he did, what were
hia reasons ? Again General Hutlcr tried
to resist, but it was admitted by a voto pf
26 to 25 there voting with the Democrats,
Senators Anthony, Cole, Corbett, Pessendeii,
Fowler, Freliughuyseu, Grimes, Henderson,
Morton, Ross, Sherman, Sumner, Trumbell,
Van Wiukle and YYilley. Again the Senate
Chamber was hushed to hear hia reply. It
came, but waa ao unsatisfactory thut Mr.
Stunbery strove to break its damaging force
by asking other questions, which General
Hutlcr resisted, and, on using the phrase,
the counsel for tho President, in connection
with Ueverdy Johnson's conduct, tho latter
sprang to hia feet, and, trembling with ex
citement, tried to purry the sharp thrust
of General Hutlcr, who Eat down in tbe
coolest manner, and waited until Mr. John
son was through, then he went on with his
remarks, retracting nothing. J'here h a
deadly fued between them, which arose
when General Butler was in New Orleans,
and said Mr. Johnson was sent down by
Secretary Seward to play the censor over
him, and thwart him. Hut General Hutler
carried his point, so far as keeping tbe
counsel from continueing to question tbe
witness after they had once dismissed him,
and in thia dilemma Senator Johnson moved
aa adjournment, which vwaa carried, aud
leaves the caso open for to-morrow, wbon
tbe President's counsel will again put Gen
eral Sherman upon the staud, to try and get
the account oi further conversations, and
get tbo Sonata to again reverse their deci
sions. Failing in that, General Grant is to
be called and asked the same questions

to answer ; thuu SUadman, and then no
