The Probable Reason. The withdraw
al of Jeremiah Black, as counsel in the
President's case, id said to have a simple ex
planation. That he considered it sound and
honest advice to resign, is not doubted, but
the reasor, he gave for it is the interesting
part of the proceeding. About three 3'ears
ago a guano island, known as Alta Velawas
discovered or taken possession of somewhere
on the coast of Dominica, by some Balti
more parties, who laid claim to the owner
ship and engaged Mr. Biack to assist in en
forcing it. They had previously gone through
the forms of occupation, but subsequently
the Domiuicans expelled the claimants, who
were digging and shipping off the guano,
and took possession themselves. Mr. Black's
business was to induce Mr. Johnson to drive
off the Dominicans with a national vessel,
which the Preident refused to do, and it was
conceived by Mr. Black that the case of his
clients might be promoted, before Congress
by quarreling with the President, and so he
quarreled and withdrew.
"Gay and Happy Still," Notwith
standing the overwhelming defeat of Cop
perheadism in New Hampshire, our neigh
bor, of the Republican, is "gay and happy
etill." Ho finds, here and there, a small
gain in his party's vote at some town or
township election, and he exultingly chron
icles the fact as a great "increase." Anoth
er "increase," etc. And thus lie keeps
"piling" them up, as if chaff was of any
account to a stomach already full of Cop
perhead wind. It is wonderful how the
shams keepup their spirits on "increases."
It reminds us of the remark of the Dutch
condy-seller to the crowd of unreiuunera
tive urchins around his stalid : " You kec;;
dastiu'and dastiif ; vy don't you buy acerit's
wort' ?
. .
Plenty ok Grain. Many persons sup
posed that our crop of grain of the last year
would not be more than sufficient to supply
the current consumption. But the grain
movement throughout the country and es
. pecially in the West, is calculated to modi
fy that impression. It has been ascertained
that the stock of cereals on hand in the sev
eral leading cities is largely in excess of that
of I8C7. The scarcity during the winter,
and the consequent high prices, was due to
ownere holding back their crops for still
higher prices. The approach of another
harvest has forced into market the reserved
crop, and it is only really now that its quan
tity is known tq excel the compulations of
even the most sanguine.
The Dkmocracy and the Negro. The
Democrats have complete control of both
branches of the Legislature of Montana.and
yet every negro in the Territory is permitted
to vote. The colored vote in Ilelena city
polled at the last election amounted to 127.
The usual electioneering was done, but no
objection made to their voting. It would be
0 here. If darkeys had votes, not one
could come down street without having a
copperhead's arm on his shoulder, making
particular inquiries after the health of his
wife and children, etc.
True to Their Instincts. The Demo
cratic candidate for City Attorney, in Utica,
N. Y., at the recent local election, was a
soldier in the rebel army, lie wa3 elected
Utioa being a Copperhead city. His op
ponent wa in the Union army.
The defeat of the ambitious governor of
Maryland for the United States senatorship
is regarded as the last note of tbe dying
wanu.
Who Are the Bondholders ?
The New York Evening iW has ascer
tained, by careful inquiry, that of the five
richest men in New York city only two are
holders of United States bonds, and these
only to a very inconsiderable amount, and
that among those who return incomes of o
ver one hundred thousand dollars in New
York and Brooklyn, about the same relative
proportion of bondholders exists. On the
other hand, the savings banks of New York
hold forty-nine millions of bonds as invest
ments for,the funds ot their depositors the
interest of which, deducting the expenses of
the banks,is paid to 488,501 of the laboring
men and women of New York semi-annually:
Of the several classes of "aristocratic
bondholders" whose money is thus invested,
the largest in numbers are, first, domestic;
secondjaborers; third. seamstresses; fourth,
clerks ; fifth, tailors ; sixth, waiters ; and
seventh, cartmen. A list of the occupations
of the "bloated aristocrats" who receiTa the
dividends of the 5-20 bonds, taken rroin one
of the savings banks of the oily, shows the
following assortment : A'tists, baker?-, bar
tenders, blacksmiths, boarding house keep
ers, boatmen, boiler makers, book binders,
butchers, cartmen, coachmen, carpenters,
clerks, domestics, engineers, farmers, fish
ermen, gardeners, hatters, masons, huck
sters, junk dealers, laborers, milkmen, mil
liners, uurses, ostlers, pedlers, porters,
Slumbers, seamstresses, shoemakers, sel
lers, tailors, tanners, washerwomen, wait
ers, and weavers.
The Life Insurance Compnnies of New
York hold twenty millions of the bonds as
security for the persons, in all paits of the
country, who hold their policies, and the
Fire Insurance Companies hold forty-six
millions as securities for their customers.
A very large sum is held in the form of
trust estates for the benefit of widows and
oipiians under order ot the courts, j nree
hundred millions are held by the National
Banks as security for their bill holders.
"Ancient Landmarks." The following
item, whicb we clip from an exchange, shows
that the suffrage question is a matter of dis
cussion in Liberia as well as in America :
"Liberia is agitated by the suffrage ques
tion. At present only those possessing a
very visible admixture of African blood are
admitted to citizenship ; but a party has
lately arisen which proposes, as a measure
of justice, to 'enlarge the area of freedom
by enfranchising the down trodden white
trash.' The 'conservatives' strongly oppose
'so flagrant a departure from the ancient
landmarks of the Constitution, and contend
that 'there is no safety, socially or politically,
except in maintaining the Republic as it
was made by its founders strictly a colored
man's government.' " 0
It will be observed that the "Conserva
tives" in Liberia, as in America, are great
sticklers for the "ancient landmarks of the
Constitution" as made by thetr forefathers.
There is, however, this difference : The
Conservatives in Liberia advocate an exclu
sive "black-man's government" while their
colleagues in this country advocate an exclu
sive "white man's government" both favor
an abridgment of the area of freedom the
one would oppress and enslave the white
man,- the other the black man. Surely,
"Conservatism" is an anamoly that is hard
to understand.
The holders of Maxiniillian's bonds held a
meeting in Paris recently, at which it was
stated that the t tal amount of the loan to
the short-lived Mexican Empire was ?5S,
2S;;,424 in gold. Unless France a-sumea
this loan, which the Government is very un
willing to do, all this money will be lost to
those who lent it. Maximillian expended
this large sum in. court extra vagance,and in
the maintenance of a large standing army.
This loss mast be added to the cost of the
war,togive the total cost of "intervention."
The loss of life was about 20, 000 men by the
sword, disease and desertion. The cost of
the war for four years, added to the loss of
the loan referred to, would make the total
cost to the French people of interfering in
Mexico $250,000,000, or 1 ,250.(H 10,000 francs
at least. It may have exceeded that amount.
Prospect of G oou Crops. Our exchan
ges from all parts of the country, speak en
couragingly of the crop prospect for the
present year. The winter seems to have
been very favorable for wheat. The contin
uance of cold weather and the heavy snow
that covered the ground nearly all the .reason,
protected the roots of the wheat sprouts,
and prepared them for a vigorous growth in
the early spring. The wheat crop still has
many dangers to encounter before the har
vest, but it is gratifying to know that it has
not suffered from winter-kill the greatest
of all its enemies.
The New York correspondent of the Char
leston Courier, writes : "It is not necessa
ry to put an old fogy Conservative in the
field ; on the contrary, the very word "Con
servative" will be cried down by the active
young, men of the party. There are enough
energetic, live Democrats to be found fit to
become leaders of the constitutional party
of the country, and popular enough to raise
enthusiasm wherever an assemblage of peo
ple can be found. Such a man is General
McClellan,anci such a man is John T. Hoff
man, Mayor of NtiW York, whose populari
ty among the masses daily increasing."
7Jte Columbus fOhio) Journal, says:
"The telegraphic report, coming from Ala
bama, that Admiral Farragut is talked of as
a Democratic candidate for the Presidency,
will be read bv those who know the gallant
Admiral with irrepressible laughter. A
more uucompromising Republican and out
spoken Radical is now not living. While in'
Columbus, Farragut frankly and freely made
known to many of our leading citizens his
political views, and declared, in unmistaka
ble language, his detestation ot the policy
and principles of what he termed the Cop
perhead party !"
Saystha Chicago Post: Certain of the
CoDoerheads of Chicago, despite the male
dictions of the rebel organ here, are actively
at work for Judge Breeze as a candidate for
the Presidenoy ; and we learn that it is their
intention to contest Illinois against Pendle
ton, the elect of the repudiators. We shall
see lively work before the tight js over.
HARRISBURG.
The Contested Ejection Case. The Evidence of
Father Tracy.
The following from the correspondence of
the Pittsburg Commercial, of March 24th,
will be perused with interest by our readers ;
The Committee on the contested election
case of Robison vs. Shugart is drawing its
investigations to a close. The counsel for
the contestant are offering rebutting testi
mony this week. They are bound to close
that to-morrow night, lour readers well
remember that at the commencement they
produced a Mr. O'Mara who testified that
he had been paid five hundred dollars by a
priest, named Father Tracy, forgoing out of
the State and staying out until after the trial
of this case, so as not to testify as to what
he knew about the fraud that had been prac
ticed at Philipsburg. Mr, Shugart's coun
sel aud all the copperhead leaders said that
O'Mara had sworn to what was not true.
They impeached his character for truth and
veracity. They, summoned witnesses to
prove that he was not to be believed upon
oath, but they ne ver produced Father Tracy
to disprove Mr. O'Mara' s evidence. Fath
er Tracy they took care to keep out of
reach during the whole trial. Robison's
counsel could not find him until last night.
But as the case was known to be about clos
ed, Father Tracy concluded it was safe for
him to return to Clearfield and VAk counties.
Oue ot Robison's counsel happened to be on
the train from Philadelphia westward last
night, and he soon discovered Father Tracy
on board the cars and entered into conversa
tion with him, and found out that all Mr.
O'Mara had testified to was true. Howev
er as the counsel had no subp'na with him
he could not compel Father Tracy to stop off
as a witness. However, such men as u.B
Swoope and John Cessna are not to be baf
fled if enegy and legal talent will prevent
it. It is not necessary to say how they did
it ; but they had a man at Tyrone with a
subpoena when Father Tracy arrived there,
who subpoenaed him aud brought him. back
here to-day, and when the committee met
this afternoon and two or three witnesses
had been exauiined, Mr. Cessna called Rev.
Thomas Tracy ! It was rather laughable tq
see the long faces of Mr. Orvis and Mr.
Miiler, Mr. Shugart's counsel, when the
name was called, and when the priest came
forward to be sworn. That was the first
hint they had he was on hand. They de
manded at once to know what was proposed
to be proved by the witne.-s. Mr. Swoope
wrote down what he proposed to prove by
Father Tracy. Mr. Orvis noted down his
objections. They were both read to the
committee and the objections overruled, and
the testimony admitted. It was offered to
prove the correctiiess of O'Mara's testimo
ny, and to rebut the testimony of those who
swore that they would not believe him on
oath. The following is substantially Tracy's
testimony as taken down by your correspon
dent at the time :
"About two or three weeks before the
meeting of the Legislature the first of last
January I paid Mr. O'Mara five hundred
dollars in his own house in Clearfield ; it was
in the evening I paid him. The agreement
was he was to leave the State and stay out
for three months. Mr. Gorman a boss .of
Mr. Collins' gave mo the money to pay to
O'Mara. It was at the instance of Mr.
Gorman I made the arrangement with O'
Mara. I had correspondence with Mr. W.
A. Wallace on the subject. The intention
was to keep Mr. O'Mara out of the State
uniil this contested election case was deci
ded." The foregoing was on examination in chief.
Mr. Orvis cross-exaniiucd him aud elicited
the following : .
"Mr. Gorman was the only man that I
was aware knew all about my arrangement
with Mr. O'Mara; he was the only person
who gave me any money ; the only person
who authorized me to make this arrange
ment with O'Mara. Had some correspon
dence with W. A. Wallace ; he never gave
me any money ; lie said he would not give
any of ms own money for that purpose."
At this point the-committee had to arrest
the examination, as the hour for the meet
ing of the Senate bad arrived, and they
could not sit when the Senate was in session.
It was a great pity this witness had not been
allowed to give his evidence in full before
adjournment, and before Mr. Wallace and
his friends had lime to have an interview
with him. He evidently was disused to
tell the truth. . It will be seen how much
influence these desperate leaders will have
on him by his testimony before the commit
tee to-night. Comment on this is entirely
unnecessary. Just think of a Catholic priest
being employed to bribe one of his own fol
lowers to leave the State, so that the jrauds
practised by the party claiming to have such
reverence for the Constitution as the lead
ers of the Copperhead party have the ef
froutery to claim. Jitnius.
By the arrest in Tro3' of a drunken man,
a search of his person, and his own confes
sion, it appears that he one Patrick Daley,
from Salem, Washington County and
twenty others had just obtained their natu
ralization papers. Daley h-s been in the
country but two years and seven months. It
is believed that few, if any, of the others
were legally entitled to naturalization. Such
cases show the looseness, if not the corrup
tion, with which the business is conducted,
and also prove how easily the Democrats
manufacture voters.
. Rev. S. H. Tyng. Jr., "having silently
suffered all the ecclesiastical authorities de
sired to inflict," now addresses to Bishop
Potter a frank and urgent remonstrance a
gainst the"ignominiousceremonv" to which
he was subjected, and the "rudeness and at
tempted disgrace" with which the proceed
ings were conducted. He promises a full
review of the whole matter and protestinz
; i ll . i i- .
?ainst an tne proceedings, renounces the
authority of the tribunal in this regard, and
appeals to the general judgmentof the Chris
tian Church. -
The delegates representing the Fifth Con
gressional District of Pennsylvania, whose
representation at Chicago was left open by
the State Convention, met in convention at
Doylestown last week, and made choice of
Mahlon Yardley,of Doylestown, and Alfred
C. Harner. of Gerroantown, as delegates to
Chicago. They were instructed for Grant
and Curtin.
The Harrisburg feleqraph proposes Hon.

"Washington Cay Gostip.
March 24. The proceedings of the
Court of Impeachment were brief and of
little interest. The Managers of the House
presented their replication to the President's
answer, a very brief document, denying
"each and every averment in said several
"answers, or either of them, which denies
or traverses" the charges of the Articles of
Impeachment. The question as to grant
ing the ten da's' delay asked for the defense
then came up, and after two hours' deliber
ation in secret session the Senate resolved
to order the trial to proceed "with all dis
patch" on March 30th. When the Senate
retired for deliberation on the extension of
time to the President, Vice-President Wade
remained behind on the floor, conversing
with members of the House and others.
Judge Black denies that he retired from
the Impeachment case because he disa
greed with the President and his counsel
upon the line of defense to be pursued. It
seems that he has quarreled witli the Pres
ident in regard "to a claim which certain
persons have against the Government, and
for whom he is counsel. The case is a
claim of ownership to the guano on the Is
land of Alta Vela. Judge Black held that
the President could settle the claim in favor
of his clients if he felt so inclined, and that
this would be simply doing justice to an in
jured person. The President had promised
to settle the dispute, but Mr. Seward inter
fered and prevented Such a settlement. The
only hope whicli Judge Black now has is
with Congress, and not wishing to jeopard
ize his client's claim he withdrew as one of
the counsel of the President.
It is stated that a bill extending for one.
year the operation ot the voluntary feature
of the bankrupt law, without the fifty per
cent, restriction as it now stands in the thirty-third
section, has been agreed upon in
the House Committee,and is expected to be
adopted in both Houses. .
They say, at Washington, that the little
unpleasantness between Mr. Johnson's Sec
rotary, Seward, and his confidential friend,
Judge Black, is likely to result in a publi
cation by the latter of a review of sundry
transactions in the State Deepartment,with
the promise of "rich developments." Syiee
these gentlemen have fallen out, we have
faith enough in an old adage to believe that
the public may ultimately be profited.
President Johnson, it is said, has found
one solace from the impeachment, and that
is, since he . was summoned to appear for
trial the oflice seekers have ceased to annoy
him.
- Jefferson Davis has arrived at Baltimore,
on his way, it is said, to Washington, to at
tend the trial of President Johnson. When
Davis was in the height of his glory, John
son was fleeing for his life from his myrmi-
l dons in Tennessee. Again, when Johnson
; came into the Presidency, Davis was a fu
j gitive from the trops set on 1'iis track by
I Johnson. Now the tables are omie more
I turned ; the trial of Davis for treason has
been indefinitely postponed, aud he stands
by to see Johnson tried for the highest mis
demeanor known to the law. Verily the
ups and downs of real life are more wonder
ful than any we "find recorded in the pages
of fiction. '
The Senate on the 2Gth, passed the ve
toed bill relating to the jurisdiction of the
Supreme Court. The debate consumed the
j whole day, the Democratic Senatorsenibrac-
ing the opportunity to put on record their
protest against the abridgment of the powers
of the Supreme Court.
'. The reslution of Gerrit Davis, of Ken
tucky, on Monday a-week, literally declar
ing the Senate "an unconstitutional body
hanging on the verge of the Government,"
aud overwhelmingly defeated, receiving but
two votes in a full Senate, was a sad mis
take. Not only did the vote by which it
was rejected set the seal of reprobation up
on Andrew Johnson's arrogant assumption
against Congress, and place Chief .Justice
Woodward, the last parrot of that treasona
ble doctrine, in a humiliating attitude,' but
it was the solemn judgment , of the Senate
against what would probably have constitu
ted one of the strongest pleadings of the
President's counsel.
Minnessota has made some important
changes in her criminal code. She has
practically abolished capital punishment, by
the enactment of a law declaring that no
criminal shall snffer the penalty ot death
without the unanimous recommendation of
the jury. She has decided that in all crim
inal cases the accused shall be allowed to
testify in his own behalf. And further, she
has provided that an amendment to the
Constitution shall be submitted to the peo
ple next November abolishing the grand
jury system: -
The Hartford Courant calls attention to
the fact that although the Democrats were
told that with the. election of English as
Governor the prices of provisions would fall,
nothing of the kind has happened, and the
"domestic staple" of the Democracy, whis
key, is as high as ever. That is owing to
the increased demand for the article grow
ing out of Democratic joy at their victory
then, and the necessity for carrying on the
approaching campaign "with spirit."
