Boston, May 22, 1888.
This city of notions, centre of literature
and bub of the unhorse, at it is sometimes
designated, is not calculated to make the
most favorable impression during tbe rain;
season, or the Tret and disagreeable weather,
which we have had during the entire month
of May. One of tbe great advantages of
New York is tbe fact of its easy access, by
land and water, to all parts of the world, by
steamships and by railways. Tbe. travel and
tiade between New York and Boston is
immense, and no less than five or sis daily
lines of the finest steamers in the world are
running on Long Island Sound, carrying
passengers and freight to BoBton and other
Eastern parts, as well as intermediate cities
on the Sound. The Bristol and the Fall
River lines make what is called the outside
passage, which, when the weather is rough,
will give one a taste of sea-sickness, espe
cially as you approach Point Judith.
The Bristol line, within the last year,
have. put on new steamers, which, in point of
elegance and comfort, are not surpassed in
the world, certaiuly not in the lavish ex
penditure of money. I took passage in one
of theso, the "Providence," at New York, at
6 P. SI., and arrived at Bristol at 3 A. M.,
took tbe train at 4.80 and arrived in Boston
at 8 o'clock in tbe morning. The cngino of
this splendid steamer is rated at 2,800 horse
power with 110 inch cylinder, and cost about
$200,000. The entire cost of the two ves
sels, the Providence and the Brittol, with
their splendid equipments, was about two
and a half millions of dollars. These ships,
for such they are, are 870 feet in length and
83 feet in width, or across the beam, and
have 210 state rooms, including eight bridal
rooms.
Boston has greatly improved i since I last
taw it, some ten or twelve years since. In
the old city tboro is scarcely a singlo
straight street, and Washington street, is tho
only one of respectable width. But tho new
or upper part of the city has its regular
wide atroets and beautiful parks. Tlicro is
one peculiarity in the structure of most of
the private residences that is seldom seen
in New York or Philadelphia, which is a
semi circular, or what they call a swu'.led
front. It has, in some measure, tho advan
tages of a bay window, and enables tho in
mates to look up aud down tbe streets. One
of tbe great institutions of Boston, of which
the citizens are justly proud, is their grand
organ, mado in Europe In power and com
pass it is not exceeded iu the world. It is
open to visitors and played every Wednes
day and Saturday, from 12 to 1 o'clock. Mu
sic Hall, which contains tbe organ, is a ca
pacious building, with lofty ceilings, and
will seat nearly three thousand persons. The
cost of the organ was fifty thousand dollars
in gold. The dimensions of some of the
large pipes are such that a man might crawl
through, the tones of which resemble dis
tant thunder, and as a Bostonian informed
mo, could be more readily felt than heard.
To show the varied powers of the instrument,
the organist played that beautiful and pop
ular air, the "Last Rose of Summer," in
tones that resembled the mellifluous caden
ces of a lady singing at a distance. In an
instant after the organist, seemed to throw
his wholo force on the various key boards,
and like a perfect Jupiter tenant, command
ing Eolus to loosen all the winds of heaven,
the powers of this grand instrument were
developed and put iu motion. To those who
appreciate tbe deep, solemn and impressive
tones of the organ, the effect was truly
grand and sublime.
The Massachusetts legislature being in ses
sion I embraced the opportunity to visit the
Btate-IIouse and take a look at tbe body of
lawgivers of this enlightened Common
wealth. Stating to the single door-keeper,
seated outside the hall, that I was a Penn
ylvaniap, and desired to enter, bo intro-
'ducod me to a member just going in, who
cordially placed mo in a member's vacant
seat, as there were apparently but a few
other scats provided. From a member at
wayside I learued that there were only 240
members of the House and 40 in tbe Senate,
Formerly there were about 400, when the
galleries were necessarily occupied by mem
bers. In the Senate chamber, across tho hall
there is a small space behind tbe railing,
which affords standing room for about one
fourth as many as can be accommodated at
Harribburg. Contrasted with the numerous
door keepers, &c, of our own legislature,
the Democratic simplicity of this body was
most obvious. There are no desks for mem
bers, who sit closely in rows, with small ta
blets in front for the convenience of writing.
But even this is an improvement on (heir
British ancestors. - Pitt, Fox and Sheridan
bad no better facilities than what their laps
afforded to take notes, in the House of Com'
wins, seated, as they were, on benches.
The State Home is an old, substantial
building UU1y ' remodeled and improved
iniiif, at an tipenss of 200,000. It is not
classic in iu. stylo of architecture, but .is
comfortable and substantial, and contains
forty-seven rooms in all the departments.
I vu in Boston when-the news of the
nomination of Grant and Colfax was receiv
ed. Whilit they would have preferred their
own fellow citizen, Senator Henry Wilson,
they were unanimous in their opinion that
no better selection, or a more satisfactory
one than Mr. Colfax, could have been made
This opinion is universal, and acknowledged
by Republicans and Democrats, everywhere.
New Yobk, May 20th, 1808.
Returning from Boston to New York, I
took the Stonington line, passing through
Providence, Pawtuckot and other thriving
manufacturing towns in Rhode Island. ThS
new steamers on this route are trulysplcndid,
though not so large or half as expensive as
their riyala of tbe Bristol line. The fare on
this route is only $3 for about 00 miles tra
vel by railroad, and 120 by steamboat.
Now York, though the commercial centre,
is not, exactly, the political centre of the
Union, so far as the Republicans aro con
cerned. Its 40,000 Democratic majority is made up
of material that does not add much to the
character or prosperity of the country. Out
side of the city, where the foreign element
is not bo large, the Republicans have a large
majority. The New York Democracy have
beon greatly disappointed in the Chicago
nominations. They hoped to get up a feud
among the Republicans in the nomination
of a Vice President. Unfortunately for them,
the selection of Colfax for that position has
left them nothing to hope for. Perhaps, no
public man in tho Union is so universally
popular, or more generally esteemed, for all
the qualities that adorn the man and states
man, as Mr. Colfax. Even tho New York
World, the leading paper of the Democratic
party, admits this fact, and the only fault it
can find in Mr. Colfax is that he is ambi
tious and aspiring. And who has a better
right to be ambitions f His aspirations were
noble and honorable, and by his own efforts,
the poor printer's boy has become an emi
nent Statesman, and is acknowledged by
Republicans and Democrats to be one of the
ablest speakers that ever presided over Con
gress. It is a common thing to hear Demo
crats, everywhere, ssy that the nomination
of Grant and Colfax was decidedly the best
that could have been mado by the party,
which is utmost equivalent to an admission
of their election.
Tho result of the trial for the Impeach
ment of the President surprises no one.
Though nominally and legally acquitted, be
nevertheless stands convicted iu the eyes of
the people, notwithstanding his nominal
acquittal, by tho purchase of four Senators,
which even then, gave him but 19 out of the
54 votes. The investigation of these facts,
thns far, has satisfied every reasonable mind
that bribery and corruption saved Andrew
Johnson from being deposed from his high
office. The testimony of Thurlow Weed
alone establishes that fact. Mr. Weed is a
prominont and distinguished politician, and
is the intimate friend and counsellor of Se
cretary Seward, aud was a most unwilling
witness against President Johnson.
The vote on the -second article, relating
to the tenure of office act, having resulted
like the eleventh, there was no use voting
on the remaining articles. Thus ends this
famous trial of Impeachment, which some
well-meaning people of both parties deplore,
but which, I think, has left an impression
that will bo a lesson to future Presidents,
and restrain them from the exercise of arbi
trary power. The resignation of Mr. Stan
ton is what was expected. Ho had some
time since determined to resign as soon as
the Impeachment trial was over, whether tbe
President was convicted or acquitted.
THE WOBK OF THE CONVENTION.
Though the nomination of Gen. Grant for
the l'resiucncy by the party ot Union, free
dom, and .true democracy, has for several
months been conceded by all, aud though
the fiery political ordeal tUrouuh which the
country has lately passed has added to his
tame as tuo first captain ot the age, tho re
putation of possessing a clear judgment and
an unbiased fidelity to the will of the peo
ple iu all political affairs, yet the unanimous,
enthusiastic, overwhelming choice of the
true and tried Hero by six hundred and
fifty delegates voting on behalf of all the
States and Territories of the Union is a
triumph as gratifying to the nation at lareo
as it can be to tho General and his immedi
ate supporters. It is the universal testimo
ny of the majority of tho American people
that the principles of Union, Liberty, and
true Democracy, which inspire the Repub
lican party, are largely indebted for their
victory over tue Kebcllion ana blavery to
the genius and fidelity of Gen. Grant. For
all in vain would have been devotion to
freedom, or eloquence in its vindication, or
sagacity in marshaling its hosts for poli
tical corjnict, it, wucn tueso lift a culmina
ted iu the all-involving struggle of blood
and death, the tide had gone against us. In
that great agony of the Nation, when the
prayers and groans of millions ascended to
the Unseen Ruler of events that He would
bless the nation with a leader of judgment,
skill, patriotism, and courage equal to the
sublime task before him, Providence re
sponded by raising up Gen. Grant. Under
uib guiuiug unuu, i ne acciBive uattics 01
the war were fought, upon the issue of which
depended whether the Union should sur
vive, whether freedom should "be extended
to all classes of men, and ultimately whether
universal suffrage and loyal supremacy, the
present policies of the Republican party,
should prevail throughout the laud. With
no other man is the triumph of Republicans
in principle so closely identified as with
Ulysses 8. Grant. With him as tbeir
champion, they went into the struggle
which determined whether Liberty or Sla
very should rule on this Continent for the
next century ; and with him they came out
triumphant. His life has been tboire, bis
triumphs theirs ; and it is well that tbe Re
publican party, with instinctive gratitude,
have made him tbeir champion for the ap
proaching campaign and tbeir choice for
President. That same calm judgment, ster
ling - sense, accurate cstimato of the men
whom he selects for executive' positions,
and, above all, that sensible habit of confin
ing himself to his' own duties, leaving to
others the performance of theirs, holding
all bis subordinates fully to their responsi
bility, and leaving all his coordinates in
complete independence, even of bis advioe,
and still" more of his control all these
qualities, which have shone so clearly in
the character of Gen. Grant, are among tbe
highest qualifications that could be conceiv
ed for the Presidential ofilce. The lamenta
ble failures and mischievous crimes of An.
drew Johnson have at least taught us that
the first qualification of a good President
must be willioguessto leave legislative
sud political polities, to tbe rtpitstntstivcal
of the people, and judicial questions to the
courts, without attempting, by coercion,
bribery, or threats, to bias their action, or
by evasion, resistance or defiance, to over
rule it." Gen. Grant will bo .found to pos
sess this Just estimate of the executive func
tions By bringing all the energies of his
administration to enforcing, instead of dic
tating or resisting the laws, we believe be
will prove as successful in conquering the
corruption which now infests every depart
ment of the Government, as he has been in
snbduing the great Rebellion.' Tbe execu
tive command of fifty thousand civil office
holders will be a more familiar task to the
General who has commanded a million of
men in the field, than perhaps to any other
person ever elevated to the Presidency.
The country will welcome the nomination
of Gen. Grant as the harbinger of Peace, of
a thorough and righteous reconstruction,
and of a prudent and popular administra
tion. The nomination of Schuyler Colfax for
the Vice-Presidency is the most universally
satisfacfory that could be made. Notwith
standing tbe desire to avoid taking both
our eandidatea from tbe West, or rather
from the center as we must Boon come to
regard Illinois and Indiana it was wisely
felt that no geographical reasons should
weigh against the imperative wisdom of
putting forward our two best men, both for
availibility before the people and for capa
city and integrity in office. Such are Grant
and Colfax. It is a noble, glorious, ticket.
Since the days of Washington and Adams,
we nave naa none more worthy ot tbe over
whelming, unanimous support of tho Ameri
can people without distinction of party.
The platform is fair, temperate and firm.
While denouncing all forms of repudiation,
it consults the interest of the tax-paver by
recommending a gradual redemption of tbe
public debt and reduolion of the rate of in
terest. It sustains reconstruction on tho
basis of impartial suffrage and loyal supre
macy, justifies tbe impeachment of Andrew
Johnson for his high crimes and misdemea
nors, and guarantees protection to all natu
ralized citizeus.
Against such candidates and principles,
the treacherv of false friends and the hos
tility of open foos are alike futile. AH the
States were represented in tbe Convention.
Now let our friends in Congress push on the
work of reconstruction the chief present
duty of the Republican party so that tbe
votes of all the States, if possiblo, may be
cast at the election. Let us nave an Admin
istration unanimously elected by all the
States, aud by eo large a majority of tbe
whole people that its adversaries will tuans
us for omitting to mention them.
The campaign opens gloriously. On with
tho great work I Let our watchword be
Gbant, Colfax, and Victouv I
Bcyino an Acquittal. Any one accus
tomed to reading the papers will at once
recognize tho following cool thing as a
genuine Copperhead scheme Iis from
tbe New York World, and is given editori
ally under the head "now to secure an Ac
quittal :"
"Let the men of wealth in this city, with
out regard to party, assemble at tbe Ex
change or in the Cooper Institute and
Subscribe a sufficient sum, ten millions dol
lars, if need bo, to buy a favorable verdict.
There are fourteen Radical Senators, whose
terms of oflice expire in 1809. Beyond that
time they are euro ot no political position ;
so far as they know now, they aro sure of
no 'paving place.' Surely as many as eight
of these men would far rather be sure of a
million cash in hand than to wait for the
uncertainty of a $5,000 office by and by.
Let us buy their votes at their own price ;
when we consider tbe commercial and
pecuniary interests at stske in this city
alone, ten millions now is a mere trifle in
comparison. Let us buy tbe verdict which
is so vital to the interests of this city."
By no word, or sign, or act, has General
Grant sought the nomination for the Presi
dency. The convention bad no alternative.
It merely recorded the expressed will of the
people in formally nominating General
Grant. The vote of tbe people will boas
emphatic as the voto of the convention was
unanimous. It would be a work of super
erogation to urge reasons why Gen. lirant
should be elected why the action of the
convention was a wise one. Tbe people
rule. And there are no two opinions among
the loval men of the country as. to the wis
dom of this choice. Schuyler Colfax, of
Indiana, is placed second on the ticket.
From a poor printer, struggling upward
always, pure as a man, unimpeachable as a
patriot, wise and discreet as a statesman,
lacking in no quality demanded of a man
chosen to fill tho places in the public ser
vice to which be has been successfully elect
ed, it will be found that be will meet the
expectations of tbe people who will elect
him Vice President of these United States.
He is as true, as faithful, as gocd, as honest,
as clearheaded, and can comprehend tbe
wishes and purposes of the people, and will
meet their demands as surely, as any man
in the Republic. He has never been found
wanting. He never will be. Ho has the
hearts of the people to back bim, and their
hopes to stimulate him. Ho is incapable of
treachery, and beyond the reach of corrup
tion. He is a man of the people and for
the people ; and the people of this country
will vote for him. Chicago Rqmblican.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Col fox ior Protection.
Last year, on the seventh of May, Hon.
Schnylcr Colfax, now tbe Republican nom
inee for Vice President of the United States,
delivered in this city, iu National nail, on
Market street his famous and graphic
speech, "Across the Continent," in behalf of
a monumental fund then being raised by
some of the most influential and patriotic
citizens of Germantown, wdo wore about to
erect a handsome shaft in honor of the fal
len heroes who went from that place. Those
who beard it will not soon forget the firm
faith of the speaker in our grand future,
which lifted even his plain relations of fact
into eloquence and prophecy.
There was one point, however, especially
pleasing to his Philadelphia audience, which
we now recall with fresh and significient
Interest. Clad in a suit of California home
spun wool, the speaker Indulged in a glow
ing and eloquent tribute to native industry,
and declared himself, without reserve or
qualification, amid rounds of hearty ap
plause, an advocate of protection for home
labor and the American laboring man.
We reproduce from Tub Press of May 8,
1807, an editorial reference made at tbe
time to this event I

STUBBORN" ' WITNESS - ARRESTED.
Washington, May 25. The House, was
visited with a sensation to-day, a parallel of
which has not been witnessed since the
memorable first days of - impeachment.
About two o'clock Mr. Butler appeared on
the floor, fresh from the meeting room of
the Impeachment Managers, and immediate
ly asked leave to make a nrivftWn rAnori.
"Members and newspaper correspondents had
suwiiptHu woat was coming, ana wuen
Mr. Butler obtained the floor every one of
their number who was around the building
soon appeared. No objection was made
and the report was handed to the Clerk to
read. It began with a resolution setting
forth that as a man named Wooley, whom
tho Managers had summoned as a witness,
had refused to appear, the House arrest
him for contompt, and compel bim to ap
pear. In support of this resolution came a
preliminary report of the Board of Mana
gers, containing nearly all the evidence
they have so far taken in their investigation
of the alleged corrupt influence brought to
boar on Senators to effect the result of the
itnpcsohment. The closest attention was
paid to the reading of the report, and the
astounding developments contained therein
produced a decided sensation among all
present. The Democrats appeared as much
astonished as tbe Republicans. The Presi
dent has evidently expected that Mr. But
ler would make a report, and according
ly had sent two of his private secretaries to
be present to hear, to see, and report tbe
effect. They, with Mr. Merrick, of Surratt's
counsel, and Senator Patterson, the Presi
dent's son-in-law, were on the floor, sitting
together on one of the sofas, listening, at
tentively. Senator Trumbull camo in dur
ing the reading, and wandered around on
the Republican side, no one paying any
attention to him. He talked awhile with
his colleague, Bromwell, and then went to
the Democratio side and had a chat with
Randall and Ross, closing up with an inter
view with John Baker, member from the
Alton District, 111. 1 A significant coinci
dence happened about an hour afterward,
when Baker obtained tho floor and made a
savage attack on Butler and the Board of
Managers, because there was no Democrat
associated with them, and denounced their
report as a partisan affair. There is a great
deal being said about tho course Mr. Baker
has been pursuing lately, aud the friends of
tne party Here express the hope that the
Republicans of tho Twelfth district of Illi
nois will examine well his record before
they enter into tbe next campaign. Sena
tor Ross came into tho House during the
i; . . . .... .
reading, aou remained ontui adjournment.
He took a scat on the Democratic side,
with Mr. Sitgreaves, of New Jersey. After
tbe reading had been finished, Butler de
manded the previous question on his resolu
tion but gave way to Mr. Brooks, who con
sumcd ten minutes in denouncing the Mana
gers for having found out so much. Mr.
kldndge madea short, whining speech, en
tering a complaint for the reason that there
was no representative of his party on the
Board of Managers. Mr. Butler replied by
asking Mr. Eldridge whether he was of the
party lavonng irautl, or of tbe party oppos
ed to frauds, and taking it for granted that
he was of the latter, he was already repre
sented. Mr. John Baker then came to tho
aid of Mr. Eldridge, and denounced the in
vestigation as a partisan affair, for the rea
son that there was no representative of the
Democracy on tho Board of Managers.
Butler replied by asking Mr. Baker if he
were appointed by tbe House to make an
investigation. Ho did not think he could
give impartial justice; and if so, did he
tufnk or charge that any member of tbe
Uouso would do otherwise f Mr. Butler,
completely demolished Mr. Baker, much to
his amasemcnt. The resolution was then
passed, and soon afterwards the House ad
journed. Members gathered around Mr.
Butler, and congratulated him on his suc
cess, and discussed the merits of tho extra
ordinary occurrences. The report of the
Managers to-day is tho subject of conversa
tion everywhere to-night. The suspicions
relative to undue iulluenee on the Senate
have been strengthened, and it is now seen
that the newspaper dispathes on that sub
ject had some foundation in fact, and were
not the invention of an imaginative corres
pondent. The general feeling is that of
disgust and indignation at the conspirators
in this plot to defeat the ends of justice.
The developments go far but sharpen the ap
petite of the public for more information on
tbo subject, and thero appears to bo no
way of putting an end to the expose except
by a full and complete investigation. The
Mauagcrs are determined to unearth every
thing, if possible, but the labor is not en
easy one, eo carefully have the conspirators
covered up their tracks. Subpoenas have
been served on a large number of other
members of the Western Whisky Ring, and
some of them are expected in town to-morrow.
It is generally believed to night, in
well informed circles, that the vote will not
be taken to-morrow on any of the remain
ing articles. The Senate held an informal
meeting on the subject this evening, nnd
another will be held early to-morrow morn
ing, to consider the best course to be pur
sued under the circumstances. The John
sou men and Democrats are rather chop
fallen at tbe developments of the Managers,
and with a strange kind of logic say that it
ought not to influence the action of the Sen
ate to-morrow, but that the vote should be
taken on the balance of tbe articles.
FROM WAKUIXtiTOX.
Vote on tho Second Article.
ANDREW JOHNSON ACQUITTED 1
Washington, May 20. The Republcan
Senators, after having been in caucus nearly
two hours, have agreed to postpone the vote
on the remaining articles of impeachment
until four weeks from to-day, in order to
await tbo investigation now in progress by
tbe Managers.
The Senate met at noon, when the Chief
Justice resumed the chair and called the
court to order.
The Mouegcrs and President's counsel
were all present with the exception of Mana
ger Stevens.
The members of the House of Representa
tives were announced at quarter past
twelve.
After raiding the Journal of the last ses
sion, Mr. Williams moved to rescind the or
der adopted at tbe last meeting, and to pro
eed with the vote on the remaining articles.
The yeas and nays were demanded and
resulted as foil ws 20 for to 25 against.
Mr. Conkling moved that tho Senate, sit
ting as a court for the trial of the impeach
ineut of the President of the United States,
will tow proceed to vote in regular order
upon the remainiag articles of impeachment.
On this tbe yeas and nays were demanded,
and stoodyeas 20, nays 28 ; so the motion
was not agreed to.
Various motions were considered by tbe
Court without any definito action, until final
ly Mr. Williams moved that the Senate
proceed to take a vote on the second article.
The President was acquitted on the se
cond article 19 voted for not guilty.
Tbe court then proceeded to vote on the
second article of impeachment. The vote
stood 85 to 19, being precisely the same as
the vote on tbe eleventh article taking on
the sixteenth, as follows :

Mr. Williams now moved that the Senate,
sitting as a Hish Court of Impeachment, ad

E,ntct from Washington.
. Washington, May 274 v. m. The Sen
ate, on motion of Mr. Wilson, went into
executive session for the purpose of confirm
ing ucnerai Bcnoneia as (secretary ot War.
After the doors were closed and the ques
tion called up, Senator Cameron objected,
and the-matter went over.
It is thought that he will be confirmed to
morrow. The recent rumors in regard to Cabinet
changes are founded on something more
substantial than mere cucss work. Tbe in
formation was obtained to-day from a strict
ly reliable source, that Postmaster General
Kanclall has requested tbe President to ac

some weeks at tbe President's disposal.

power to remove the Secretary of War, and
delegate any other officer to perform the
duties of that office ad interim, havine this
day failed to be supported by two-thirds of
the senate present and voting on tbe articles
against you by the House of Representatives,
I have relinquished charge of the War De
partment, and have left the books, archives,
papers ana property in my custody as gccre
tary of War, in care of Brevet Major General
Townsend, tbe senior Assistant Adjutant
uenerai, subject to your direction.
Edwin M. Stanton,
Secretary of War.
To the President.
He also addressed to General Townsend
tho following dispatch :
War Department. Washington, May
20, 1808. General : You will take charge
of the War Department and the books, and
papers, archives and public property be
longing to the same, subject to the disposal
and direction of the President.
Edwin M. Stanton,
Secretary o, War.
To Brig. Gen. E. D. Townsend, A. A. G.
A Washington dispatch snys : The pros
pect, of tho new party look very gloomy
indeed, and there is not the faintest indi
cation that Messrs. Chase, Fessenden, Trum
bull, and Grimes, will bo able to carry with
them even an omuibus full of Republicans.
Tho announcement of the formation of this
new party, under tho lead of these recusant
Senators has had the effect of waking the
old enthusiasm of the Republicans Und two
indignation against them gathers strength
every hour. Influential Democrats laugh
at the thing, and the whole movement is
mentioned with derision everywhere.
TnEiR Aoes. Grant and Colfax will
come into the zenith of their famojust in
the zenith of their lives, the former at for
ty seven years of age, and the latter at forty-six.
Grant was born on the 27th of
April, 1832, and Colfax on tho 23d of
March, 1823. The strength and prime of
their manhood will be given to tho country
in their four years of service in tbo highest
offices in the gift of tbe peoble.
Progress of thk Union Pac ific Rail
road. Telegraphic dispatches report the
completion of 000 mile of the Union Paci
fic railroad. The rapidity with which this
railroad has been constructed is without
precedent in all the history of railroad en
terprises. Two years ago, only forty miles
had been built, and yet, at the close of the
working season of 1807, 510 miles were in
active oppciation.
