CAMPBELL, or CAMBRIA COCKTY. EDITORIAL COHRUBPONDENCB. Washington, May Ctb, 1803. The centre of attraction bore, at present, U , the great trial of Impeachment of the President of the United States. On Friday Mr. Evartir of New York, the President's most able counsel, closed his hree days' peech. Mr. Evarts is of medium size, but very slender, with a pale and claBsie caste of countenance. In his delivery be is cooli deliberate and stately, using choice lan guage, but lacking the impassioned fervor and energy of Bingham, Butler and Wil liams, on the side of the people. On Satur day Mr. Stanbery took the floor. He is tall an;l slender, with sharp features, and evi dently felt that he was the Ex-Attorney General of the President. He had not spoken long, in rather indistinct tones, when it was evident his' strength was failing, and be asked that his private Secretary should read hi speech, from the printed copy, which be did in fine style and voice, having evi dently studied the same. But there wss nothing in the speech to make it attractive, and tho galleries were thinned out long be fore its conclusion. On Monday Judge Bingham, on tho part of tho managers, commenced tho closing speech. The floor of the Senate and tho galleries were jammed. Tho Judge is also a tall man, but with more bone nnd mu9clc than his competitors. Ilia voico is strong, bis language chaste, and bisuttcranco clear, distinct and emphatic, nnd at times strong ly impassioned, n bis opening, when re ferring to the character and death of Lin coln, he brought tears in the eyes of a num ber of Senators, both radical and conserva tive, while the galleries listened with the profoundest silence. After a abort recess, the Judge took up the legal points advanced by the President's couusel, and utterly de molished the whole structure reared by the defence. Before concluding, the Scnato adjourned at 4 P. M. I then wcut over to the House and listened, for several hours, to the most remarkable personal debato on record, on a question of privilcdge, between Messrs. Donnelly, of Minnesota, and Washburne, of Illinois, which ended in raising a committee of investigation. Donnelly is a raw and i I oyisb-lookiug Irishman, who studied law with Attorney General Brewster, of Penn sylvania. TVashburno has been sixteen years in the House, and is Btern, unsocial and un popular On Tuesday Judge Bingham resumed his speech, and such was the pressure for tickets of admission that hundreds got in by means of tho "underground railroad," and every available spot was covered by ladies and gentlemen. Judge Bingham did not, how ever, conclude, as he had expected. lie will CuibU to morrow, and will, no doubt, refer to Scralor Fesseuden's opinion, on the power of removal by the President. There arc various rumors of the defection of several Republican Senators, and it is pro- , bablo that Mr. Fesseuden and Mr. Grimes may go over, but still there are forty Sena- . tors for conviction who will stand by nnd save the credit cf and restore tho govern ment. This city, which sinea its foundation had exhibited no signs of life or prosperity, un til tho close of the war, now bids fair to be come a plncc of some importance, independ. cnt of the fact that it is the seal of the Xa. tional Government. The war has relieved it of tho incubus of Southern institutional Southern laggardncas, indolence and lack of enterprise. Northern enterprise has already infused a spirit of improvement thnt will do more for Washington, in five years, than has been done in thirty under Southern rule. Ono great thing still remains tiusup plied, namely, good hotel accommodations at fair prices. To pay f 4.50 per day for such accommodations as one gets at Willards, ranked as a first-class hotel, is simply fulfil ling, in one sense, the scriptural injunction of "taking in strangers." The new dome of tho cnpitol Is a splendid piece of architecture. It is built entirely of iron, and in its fuir proportions looms up most beautifully. From the base of tho wes tern entranno to the top of the statoo on the dome tho height is 877 feet. The frescoo painting? in the ceiling of the dome, repre senting Agriculture, Commerce," Peace and War, in all about forty figures, are hand somely executed. In the rotunda there are some, but iiot many, new paintings. Thero are, however, at present on exhibition the prizes and diplomas awarded by tho Paris Exposition to American inventors. Thrro art four grand gold medal prizes, valued at one thousand francs, and four crosses of honor with them, and a number of other gild and silver medal prizes. Among the recipients for these, are tho names of Hughes, for the "Telegraph," Cyrus W. Field, for tho "Cable," BIcCorniick, for the "Reaper," Wood, for the "Mower," and Howe, for tho "Sewing Machine." Ho. Galcsha A. Grow, of Bradford county, bus been appointed Chairman of tho Republican State Committee, and will rtoubtlcss at once commence tho work of organization for the great struggle of 1808. Mr. Grow is eminently 6ttod for the position. He is an earnest, systematic worker, and will, we doubt not, mako the most complete organization of tho Republican forces that hai ever yet been effected in Pounsylvania. Hie high character for integrity, bis experi- ence as a politician, his ability as a cam raigner, and hia hiethudical industry, all point to a whety managed and most vigor . oucampaigo just the requisite for sue We are indebted to Hon.

We may add that Mr. Grow, the chair man, has issued a call for a meeting of tho committee, to be held at the rooms of tho National Union Club, No. 1105 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, on Tuesday, the 12th rl of Mav. at 3 o'clock, V, M. - i .it b a ; ii .11 k x r . Washington, May 1. Mr. Evarts has at last Gnislictl his argument. That the argu ment was too long drawn out to be effec tive, is generally conceded. It was inge nious and bold, but changed no Senator's opinion, and was designed more for circula tion and effect over the country than upon the Senate. Towards its conclusion, Mr. Evarts' voico failed so that he could bo heard with difficulty, much of the time, iu the galleries. The House mot to day, immediately after the adjournment of tho Impeachment Court, nt four o'clock. After sovoral amendments to the navy bill wero passed, Mr. Brooks called up bis resolution of yesterday pro viding for the appointment of a committee to investigate the Alta Vela case. .Mr. Brooks led off in an ironical speech, to the effect that the honor of the honoraulo Mana gers and tho dignity of tho House of Repre sentatives required that tho charges should be investigated, and that their characters should be cleared of all imputation. Mr. Wnshburne.of initio's, offeiod an amendment thnt the Managers, and such of the members as may desire, be allowed to give- their explanations. The House refused to order tho previous question, and debate was in order. Mr. Marshall, of Illinois, followed, and said that the letter was evidently in tended to reach the President and influence him. Mr. Logan replied that he denied the right of tho House to investigate the subject. It was the mere letter and opinion of a member of Congress, for which he could not be called to account by tho House. He characterized the attack as "villainous," for which he was called to order, but was al lowed to retract. Continuing still in bis excited remarks, lie safcl thnt "the statement was untrue, and that he (Eldridgc) know it." For this again he was called to order, and was again allowed to rcttact. General Butler followed, aud made a direct nsnult on Mr. Brooks. He proceeded to give the history of the Alta Vela case, and satisfac torily cleared himself of any illegitimate connection with bint. He observed that he had made it a rule never to touch a case' in his practice as a lawyer where he could possibly be led into any personal dispute, or where he had any persoi.nl feeling with any of the parties concerned. As an instance of this ha cited the case of Clark agniut Erastus BrookB, who was ono of the propri etors of a pcnuy a-lino sheet in New York, to compel hira and one James Brooks, the other proprietor, to settle an account invol ving thn partnership of thatnper. In reference to the President's trial, he al luded to Mr. Evarts as a pscudo Republican, ' who bad stolen tho livery of Heaven in which to bcrvo the devil." Mr. Eldridgc again spoke, much to the same ettcct as be- lore, ana uiauu an atium on j.ntrnn, lor w hich he was called to order, but Mr. Logan said he would let it pass, remarking, soto voce, that much could not bo expected from a blackguard. General Uartiuld then made a short, dignified explanation, giving the history of tho signing of the paper and clearing his own skirts of the charges and insinuations made against him. Tlintliletis Stevens, who was present, appeared anxious to say something, but was unable to got an opportunity, nud was obliged to sit u pas sive listener. Mr. Brooks again came to the attack. He opened on Butler in a fierce strain of invec tives, saying iu justification that Butler had pursued him rcuiorscly, and never omitted an opportunity to attack him. Mr. Butler asked, "did you not call mc a 'bold robber' on this floor, when I was in tho service of my country ?'' Brooks replied that he had, and insisted thnt he was justified in doing r o. He icterrcd to tho oft told tale of New Oilcans, anu alluded to Fort Fisher and some sixty thousand dollar, which only by the decision of a New York court Mr. But ler was forced to return to a New Orleans merchant. Brooks was railed to order by the Speaker for applying (he expletive "Billingsgate" to Mr. 'Butlor'e remarks. Finally the whole subject was laid mi the tatile, to come up again to morrow, and at 7.40, after spending more than three hours in the grossest personal abuse and invec tives, the House adjourned. WASirijioTos, May 4. After the reading of the journal, Mr. Bingham commenced the fiuul urgument for the prosecutirn, protest ing that ho took part in these proceedings from no partisan feeling, but with a u eighty sense of their solemnity and true meuuing. He proceeded to sketch the events attend ant on the assassination of Mr. Lincoln aud the accession of Mr. Johnson to the Presi dency. Referring to his oath to execute the have, he spoke of their majestic supre macy in our form of government, end claim ed that tho President was cqua'ly subject to their authority with tho humblest fron tier settler. He dwelt on tho high trust committed to the Senate, aud asserted that the issues of Ufa nnd death to tho republic hung on their decision. He asked how the charge of violating the supreme law of the laud was met by the counsel who fur hire defend the treason of the crimiuul respond out. It wus by the outrageous assert iou that each branch of thu government had a right to judge of the coustitutiouality of the laws, aud obey them or not ut pleasure. This was the Ufuuee luadu for hit highness the fast kiutj cf our cation. Mr. Biughaui held that tho Senate, by upholding thu proposition, would lay tho louudutiou for mouaithy first, aud anarchy afterwards a reign of , chaotic darkness. On this iobi:c, which, iu t-pite of lawyers' tricks aud special pleas, was .the real ques tion iu vol veil, this ducUiou must bo made aud they must stiiud for trial by the people, lie repeated that the question was whethei the I'lesitleut could bo held to uuewu fur a violation of law. He Jiuld, first, that the Seuute hud Eotu power to decide every question of law arising on the issue. They were also the final arbiters, aud the frequent attempt of couiutil to Iriug the Senate and tba Court iu onposiUu were, miserable de vious to divert tti'.entiou, ll would not imitate the eloquent coun sel (Mr. F-varUj, who bad shown himself an enter-up of syllables, a auapper-up ui trifles who had displayed mote Latin than law, more rl.etoriu than logic, and more intellco tual pyrotechnics than either He also re ferred to the length of Mr. Evarts' speech by saying be tried to reudtr it immortal by makiBg it ctoroal. 1 1 Mr. Giaguau) Laid simply tUt the Senate I wisth iewtn)t eu'i feai judical tribunal I of tbe I nued States, sod as te the argu rnent which bad been mado at Bitch inter minable length that the Supreme Court was the court of laet resort for deolsions in ton ttitutlonal ciutjsttons, he held (that It bad ho more to do with , the present question i .ban the court rif St. 'Petersburg, and that -the Judgments Of this tribunal could not be r-i-htnA .,1onialnn. nf tlie- Buorome Court, made cither before or after tbe impeachment trial. He argued tnat tue onginm jureuu tion of the Supreme Court did not extend to impeachment, and that therefore their reference to its decisions were Irrelevant and their argument on thii point without colorable excuse. He then considered the propositions ad vanced by the counsel, that heads of Depart ments were merely tbe registering secre taries of the President, bound to do his will. Reading from decisions of the Supreme Court in cases quoted by Mr. Evarts, ho claimed that it was therein plainly laid down that such officers were bound by the law, and not by the President's will. Ho also claimed that tho other positions assum ed by all tbe President's counsel, that he could ait in judgment on the validity of the laws, wero overthrown by decisions of the same tribunal thirty years ago, which deci sions bad never been since in question. He proceeded to read extracts from them. He further asserted that tho Attorney General was wholly inexcusable in attempt ing to force into this trial as an authority the decision of tbe present presiding officer in the Mississippi case, aud argued that it had no relevancy whatever to the qucetion in dispute. He claimed that it was proved that we could not allow the President dis cretion as to which law he would execute without interpolating words into the Con stitution. He referred to tho action as Washington iu suppressing tho Whisky Insurrection, and that of Jackson in crushing out nullifi cation, as instances in which cbuoxious laws were executed by Presidents who en trrtaiued crave doubts of their constitution ality. He also spoke of the acquicsence of the American people in tue unconstitution ality of the iniquitous fugitive slave law, until its abolishment, and in this connec tion dwelt at length on the subject of sla very, with its various characteristics. He spoke of the counsel's references to Mr. Lincoln, in saying that he had violated the laws of his country and furnished pre cedents for Johnson's crimes, as bold, ca lumniating slanders on bis memory. The suspension of tho habeas corpus was not made bv him, but by the civil war, which rendered it necessarv. In regard to the passage of the Indemnity act, he said the purpose of Congress in such legislation was to furnish authority to tie courts to dismiss cases brought agaiust the President's agents for what they bad tlone in pursuance of the Constitution. If their acts had been unwarranted, the Indemnity laws would have becu of no avail. The Court then took a recess. On rc-asscmbliug at 2:30, Mr. Bingham resumed, and referred to tho argument of Mr. Evarts based on the successful resis tance to the brokers' tax law in New York as an insult to tho Senate, and said that one capable of making it was not fit to argue grave constitutional questions. He then discussed the constitutional pro visions relating to the passage of bills over the vi to, maintaining that any one who has learned to read can plainly settle the ques tion whether or not the President broke a Referring to a citatiou made by Mr. Nelson, he contended thnt it had no bear ing on this case, and that besides its author, Jefferson, was not authoritative in regard to the Conslitutiou, which he did not help to frame. Reading tho list of powers granted to the President by the Constitution, ho called at tention to the fact that no power of sus pending laws until their validity should be tested is anywhere given ; aud he said that such claim of both legislative aud executive functions was in contraventions of the ex press terms of that instrument. He insisted that this claim involved also an assumption of judicial powers, and characterized the entire proposition as too absurd to be sub- nutted to children. By tho exercise of this assumed power the President could suspend legislation of all kinds ; could prevent the creation of judicial districts, the erection of States aud the election of representatives; the enactment of revenue laws; and iu short could destroy the framework of our consti tutional government. Whether he bhall be allowed to do this is a qucstiou now to be determined, and for a righteous elecisiou the prayers of millions now ascend. As to what crimes can be considered im peachable, be said that all offences under common law arc indictable in thu District of Columbia, and that the sauio cases arc also impeachable. If this proposition were not self-evident, he need nut eigne, for as to the ofieiices specified iu tho articles, -he held that no one could deny that open vio lation of law by tho President was an im peachable crime who was uot destitute of honor aud sense, of duty. Hu said the defence of the President, as exhibited iu his nuswer, rests on the assump tion that lie possesses the ngnt to resist and bring to a judicial decision any law which hu supposes to intrench on his con stitutional prerogative. This assumption ciuld bs made a splendid excuse for refusing to execute any law whatever. Referring to the position assumed on this occasion by Mr. Evarts, he read from a pamphlet writ ten by Mr. Curtis in 1802, tho expression of a contrary view, which he commended aa good law, and went on to assert that uo man who did not admit the assumption that the President possessed judicial as well as executive powers, could deny that writ ten orders clearly showed his violation of luw, and proved him worthy of conviction. Mr. Bingham cited legal authorities to show that avermeut and proof of real iutcut are not necessary in proceedings, and except any class of persons except judicial officers; and that, in their case aloue, can ignorance, of law be admitted as excuse. With regard to tho defeucc, that the President suspend ed Stanton under tho Constitution, and supplied tho vacancy under the law, hu claimed that the President's answers showed a violation of the law ; for that limited the tenure of such appointments to six months, and tho President appointed Thomas' for an iiideGuitc period. Mr. Bingham spoke of the argument that a Presideut is bound to intervene to pro tect the people from unconstitutional laws, and said it waa a fallacious position. The people are the guardians' of their own pow ers, and Congress is responsible only to them. At this point Mr. Bingham yielded to a motion to adjourn, and tho Court aud Sen ate adjourned accordingly at U.50 P. M. Washington, May 0. Thero is a decid edly bettor feeling in impeachmeut circles this morning. . For several hours yesterday everything looked dark for impeachmeut, nnd those who hifd been sanguiuo thnt it would be a success became considerable dis couraged. AH this resulted from apparent ly well, authenticated statements, mado re garding the positiou of Senators Sherman and Fesseuden. If these gentlemen voted for acquittal it was conceded that a suf ficient number of other Republicans would join them to render Johnson's couvictios impossible. At no time since the trial commouccd lias there been so much excitement aa tbero waa last night. Members of Congress aud stran in tbe city flocked to tho newspaper offices to get tho true situation of affairs. Senator Fesseuden was visited by a colleague, sod ia answer to a qutBtioo whether be wm writ irg an opinion against conviction, aaid i thnt tbis story wta aUol'itely untrue. He was putting into shape eonsldcrationi in regard to a single article which had occured to him, and lie bad not shown tbi to any person, r - - 1 lie i resiueuis irienoi are circulating various rumors again ,'thii. morning, but they fail to create the impression expected from them. Mr. Bingham will not conclude until three o'clock, nis argument to-day is con fined to the tenure-of-office bill, discussing at length the power of appointment and re moval, nnd quoting from various acta' of Congress relating thereto. An unusually large number of strangers are here to-day. Horrible Tragedy, Cincinnati, May 5. A dispatch to tho Commercial, from Delaware.

The Question is often nBked, "Will not the conviction of Mr. Johnson injure the Rcnublican cartv t" To this tbe Cincinnati 2'inirt answers no, for the following rea sons ! 1. Mr. Johnson lost character when be disgraced the nation at bis inauguration as Vice Pacsident. 2. He completed bis ruin by denouncing Congress winte swinging rouua tue circle. Hence there is not enough left of him to attract the sympathies of any one. 1. He volunteered to reconstruct the South a business he bad no right to mod die with except under tho instructions of Congress. 2. It was understood and declared by his Urst Hccretarv that Ins work in the South would be subject to the discretion of Con gress. 8. Beforo Congress met. ho concluded to force that body to accept his Constitutions and admit representation under them. Hence, he so far overstepped the limits oi Executive authority, and so tar mtring- cd upon the rights of Congress that no one, however much ho may have regretted the impeachment, will very seriously regret his conviction. 4. To force his unauthorized policy upon the country lie commenced an ucnppeas able warfare upon Congress and vetoed everything done by that body with refer ence to the frcedmcn, the refugees anil the POUtll. 5. This warfare encouraged the conquer ed rebels to a tlecrec of insolence and oppo. sition to the will of the conqueror thnt would not otherwise have been manifested and without which the mild XlVth amend ment would have been accepted aud the Union restored a year ago. Extensive CosFi.AonATioN The Frank lin Works in lluinJ.o Thirty 7wiiMnd DullartrartiiiUy Covered hy Iwturance. About two o'clock this morning our citizens were aroused from their slumbers by the alarm of fire, caused by the burning of the Franklin Works, situated on the corner of South and Short streets, Messrs. Jennings, Stevenson & Stecvcr, proprietors. We pro cccdcd to the scene of conflagration, and found the works enveloped in finmes, burn ing with great vehemenco and rapidity. Our firemen, aa usual were promptly on hand, but, owing to some difficulty in ob taining water, were unable to play upon the Games for a considerable length of time, but when they did get their streams in oper ation the fire was soon subdued ; and by their energy and vigilance, a number of houses in the vicinity, which had caught from the sparks carried by tho wind in every direction, wero piomptly saved. The buildings burned arc tho Franklin Iron Works, a three story brick building. on South street, the foundry adjoining, which was frame, nnd the pattern shop on Short street, a two story frame building. Several build ings in the immediate neighborhood were more or less injured. At about a quarter before three o'clock the walls began to givo way, aud shortly afterwards tho front on South street full to the ground with a great crash, scattering bricks in all directions. It was rumored that a man was injured by the falling wall, but upon inquiry wo found it wns incorrect. A building on State street caught fire from some of the sparks, but it was soon extinguished. The loss by the firo is estimated at $30,000, upon which there is $0,600 insurance, divided as follows : In tho Lycoming Insurance Company, $2,- 500 ; iu the Columbia, 12.500 ; in the York Mutual, $3,800. and iu the Allen nnd Enst Pennsboro', $S00. Mr Stevenson's indi vidual loss, exclusive of that of tho firm, will amount to $3,000, iu the destruction of a number of steam engines he had on hand. The fire oiigiuntcd in the back part of tho foundry, and is supposed to have been thu woik of an incendiary, as there was no fire in the building during the day. Wo have been informed that tho firm expect to commence immediately the erection otnew works, nud will be able in a abort time to fill all their orders and contracts. Mr. Bering, the designer and architect, has gone to Philadelphia to secure a full corps of putteru makers, and we have no doubt thnt ere long the works will again be in success ful operation. JJarriaburg Telegraph, May 2. A Wife's Conspiracy. In tho fall of I860, one Edward Murphy was convicted of murder at Mackinac, Mich., and was sentenced to life imprisonment in tho Stato Piison, being the extent ot punishment lor capital crimes in that State. After serving tlve months ot his sentence, lie was pardoned by the Governor, his innocence having been shown. Recutlv Murphv has made appli cation to tho court in Chicago for the re covery of property, which lie claims was his at the time of his Indictment and conviction, and part of which was sold by his wife, who, he believes, was a party to the con spiracy by means of which be was charged with crime and incarcerated. Ho was married to her in 1831, and tbuy lived to gether on a farm ia Will county, III., uutil July, 18G0, duriug which time be had ac cumulated considerable land, stock, and farming implements. To get rid of him, he was charged with murder, aud taken to Mackinac. It was iu tho power of bis wife and supposed friends to prove an alibi as be was uot within two hundred miles ot the place when the murder was committed, and bad never beeu at the locality. For somo reason bit wife aud other witnesses failed to appear, and he was couvicted for want of evideuco to acquit him. His wife then sold part of his property and removed to Chicago, where she died in 18U4. Her sister's hus band then appeared aud secured bis ap pointment as administrator of her estate, c'aimiug that bis wife was tbe only sur viving heir of tho faithless Bridget Hawley, alias Tracy, aud now has possession of the property. This man, Edward Courtney has now been summoned to appear and account for the property hold by bun. The case is certainly quite a remark ablo one, aud bat mauy of the clcmcuts of a romance in it. There scorns to bo no doubt that Murphy has been most foully wronged. , A Washington dispatch says t Jerry Black is now at home in York county, Ps., and too ill to come here. His son bus made soveral attempts to. get tbe President to allow Black's letter to him, withdrawing from the inipeoobruent case, to be published, bnt be refuses to do so; It will probably get out any bow, as a certain party here has copy of it.
