Itapenchment. ,,
On Thursday Mr. Curtis opened the ease
vn behalf of the President in a speech
which lasted during the whole of that day's
eession, and a part pf the next. It is ad
mitted by all, including the President's most
bitter adversaries, that his arguments were
most masterly, and the friends of Johnson
consider them unanswerable. Immediately
after Curtis closed, the examination of wit,
nesses on behalf of the President waz com
meneed. General Thomas was first called
to the stand and testified to the fact of his
appointment as Secretary of War, &c.—
Some of the facts respecting that raid of his
upon Stanton to obtain possession of the
War Office were rather funny. It will i.e
remembered that the country stood with
bated breath, expecting to Lave borne uq ou
the breeze, from Washington, "the clash of
resounding arms"—the horrid clang of the
battle-blade of the blood•bodabled Thomas
upon the protecting shield of the mild.man.
nered Stanton. Here is the actual scene,
as depicted by the valorous Thomas before
the "High Court of Impeachment;" to a
question of the President's counsel, Thomas
answers:
Witness—Mr. Stanton turned to me, and
got talking in a very familiar mariner with
we ; t said, "The next time you have me
arrested please don't do it before I get
something to eat." llAughter,Pal have
had !totting to eat or drink to-day. (Con
tinued laughter.] lie put his arm around
my neck, as be used to do, in a familliar
manner, will ran his hand through my hair,
and turned around to Ueneral through
and
said : Sehrivor, have vou got a bottle
here? Bring it out." [Roars of' laugh ter.
Sehriver unlocked his desk and took out a
small vial; the Secretary then proposed
we should have spoonful of whisky; I
said I would like a little ; General &bluer
poured it out into a tumbler and divided it
equally. Ile took the glasses up this way
(indicating) and measured them with his
eyes. ' presently a messenger came in with a
full bottle of whisky, and the cork was
drawn mid he and I took a drink together.
Q. Was that all the force exhibited that
day ? A. That was all.
Q. Have you at any time attempted to
use force to get into the office? A. At no
time.
Our fellow citizens will se bow narrowly
they escaped a dreadful danger ! Old Bour

but it is pleasant to think that ho kindly
stepped in as a peace-maker on this occasion,
and obviated the necessity of " buckshot

STARVATION OF TIM ENULINII POOR.—
On the sth of this month, an inquest was
held in the Holloway road on the bodies► of
two boys, of five and seven years of .tge,
both of whom had died of starvation. The
parents of these children were quite respect
able mechanics. About a year ago the fath
er's health failed him, and he lost his work
as a whitesmith, which had brought hint in
comfortable wages. But the cider children
earned enough to pay the rent and leave
about three shillings a week over. They
had been long living at a starving rate.
Rut the whole house was kept by the moth
er in such good order that the parish surgeon
said, "you might have eaten your finxl
font the boards; everyway beautifully
clean." The boys were seized with convul
sions one after another, and after their death
the surgeons made an examination of their
bodies, and found that their intestines wcra
completely empty, and that they died of
convulsions, the effect of starvation. The
poor laws do not keep the poor front star

THE Committee in the Robinson and Shu
gart ease have reported in favor of the for
mer, the Radical. Shugart has occupied
the seat in the Senate all winter, and has
been voted pay for the present session. Of
course Robinson will also be allowed pay.—
The Commit tee find a majority for Robinson,
they say, after throwing out all the alleged
illegal votes east, of sixty-four. Senator
Jackson from this District gave notice that
a minority of the Committee would present
a report as soon n 4 prepared. The decision
of the Committee is considered a gross
wrong _u ,on the sittin member and the
elective rights of the people of his I Istria.
Not a single case of like character haoi been
disposed of by a Republican Legislature of
this State but what has been decided against
the De WOCT:sile vo mtv,tant. These Commit
tees are always largely Republican, and their
object at,tl aim is not to impartially and
equitably try the case, but to admit the con
testants holding political opinions consistnnt
with their own. History will amply prove
this to be the ease.
E.Ml , llls, Tennessee. had a population
of about 50.000 whites and 15,000 negroes.
At the rate of ono voter to Wen people
this would gite 7,100 white voters and 2,100
negro voters. At the late election, howev
er, the negroes polled 4,200—0n0 voter to
less than three and ono half of negro popu
lation, and 3,100 votes more than they were
entitled to. The whites polled 2,400 votes
—one voter to twenty-one of white populu•
Lion, and 4,700 less than they were entitled
to. These 4,700 are those who have been
disfranzhised by the Brownlow•negro gov
ernment, and they constitute the most re
spectable portion of the people.
OUR PEACE I:STAMM/MM.—The ex
penditures of the War Department for the
' month of March were about t 14,000,000, a
greater stun than the whole yearly expenses
of. the Goverment under John Quincy
Adams. And all this money is expended,
, for what? To put the white men of the
South completely under the domination of
the negro, when no Northern state will give
him a vote! Is it not high time this vast
standing army was dismissed, and peace and
Union restored? Are we to continue topay
our one hundred and fifty million dollars a
I year to keep men of our own race is subjec
tion to barbarian Degrees? What •say the
Conservative Republicans of this County?
MM. THOMAS CHALVANT, Member of
the Legislature from this District, has our
thanks for public documents. Mr. Cum.-
ran has made an able and very efficient
representative, and should be returned. It
is time this two year rule was broken up.
After a wan has come to be of service to
his constituents he is kept at hum. That
is all wrong, and can be proven if we saw fit
to elaborate on the subject. The position, we
are Fare, is nut a lucrative one. We most
111aly will have more on this subject.
Aar election fur Governor and other State
officers was held on Senator Sprague's faiui

from Busting and Plymouth Rock, but lost
a large number of county officers, Senators

indelibly to the "decline and fall" of their

THE Pennsylvania Legislature adjourned
on Tuesday last. At this announcement the
people of the Old Commonwealth will feel
rejoiced. This Radical Legislature has the
credit of dealing largely in corruption dur
ing the last three months. The Treasury
has been filched of much of its contents,
barely leaving enough to pay salaries and
mileage to members and employes. A largo
amount of log-rolling has also been done, at
somelloody's expense. A great deal of time
was occupied making political harrangues
during the session, by members belonging
to both of the prominent political parties of
to-day. Of course this tickled certain ones
of the respective parties, but MN not cal
culated to lighten the burdens of the peo
ple.

SHADE TsEx.s.-- There i® nothing that
our citizens should feel greater pride in than
having our streets adorned with shade and
ornamental trees, and their lots and yards
with choice fruit trees, which in a year or
two will commence to yield and repay
them ten fold for the outlay. The old asser•
tion that in business streets shade trees are
an impediment, is litigious. A beautiful
tree is certainly much cooler and more-Con
venient than an unsightly awning. Those
who have not their property thus adorned,
should take immediate steps to plant.

The election In Connseticut on Monday of
last week resulted in the re•clectLen of Gov

pin of 794 since last year. Hundreds of
thousands of dollars wore spent by the Rad

significant.

An election was held in Michigan on the
same day Ibr two Judges of the Supreme
Court, and a Constitutional amendment to
the Constitution establishing negro suffrage
was also submitted. At the last election In
Michigan, for Justice of the Supreme court
in 11/67, the Republicans carried the State
by 24,684 majority. The negro suffrage
amendment is defeated by from 30,000 to
35,000 majority, showing a change of nearly
00,000 since the election last year. The
Republican candidates for Judges of the Su

An Important 51ensure.
both houses of' Congress have passed the
bill striking out the 94th and 95th sections
of the Internal Revenue Act, thus relieving
all departments of manufacture from the
onerous tax under which they have been
so long struggling. The bill will of course
be signed by the President, and become a
law. It is said that this will reduce the
Internal Revenue about one hundred mill
ion of dollars ; and it is a question with the
Secretary of :be Treasury whether the
amount collected after its passage, will be
sufficient to meet the wants of the Govern
ment. It probably will not, unless the ex
penses of the government are reduced in
like proportion. The cost of every depart
ment can be very much cut down, and its
eff►ciency increased. The army and navy
are too expensive, and they should be re
duced. Lop off all such excrescences as the
Freedmen's Bureau ; put an end to the
humbug of reconstruction, which costs sev
eral millions a year. Place the South in
the hands of the whites of that section,
and thus restore its tranquility and prosper
ity and enable the people to pay their share
of the taxes. This great reduction of taxes,
at this time, is only a political dodge to cur
ry favor with the people. After the election
the act in question will probably be repealed
for the wants of the government will re
quire it, unless there'be great reduction in
the expenses, of which there is not much
prospect while the Radicals rule Congress.—

The Impeachment.
The Impeuelunect ease was resumed on
Thursday last. On behalf of the Impeach
ers, a disappointed offioe-seekor, and a sus
pended office-holder, gave their versions of
conversations held with the President. Mr.
Benjamin It. Curtis then rose and opened
the case for the defense. This gentleman
is a lawyer of great ability and experience,
a leader of the bar in Boston, of which city
he is a native. Ile was the lawyer of his
day who most enjoyed the confidence of
Daniel Webster; being his associate in his
most important eases, as well as his intimate
friend. In 1851 he was appointed a judge
of the supreme Court of the United States
by President Fillmore, and he was on the
Ilona when the bred Scott ease was divi
ded. Judge Taney delivered the opinion"of
the Court, in which Judge Wier, Wayue,
Nelson, Daniels, Campbell, and Catron eon
curred. The other two Judges, McLean,
of Ohio, and Curtis, dissented. The dis
senting opinion of Judge Curtis was very
long, learned and elaborate. It gained for
him unbounded applause from the political
party that assailed the Judgment of the
Court. Ile resigned from the Bench in
1858, to return to the practice of the law,
and ho almost instantly resumed his high
place and extensive practice in the profee
ion. We do not know that Mr. Curtis :
wanks himself with the Democratic party ;
but of late years he has openly opposed the
destructive and unoonatitutional measures of
the Radicals.—.dye.,,

Camas* AO steamer Sea
Bird helmet] to the Two Rivera, Manito
woc and Sheboygan line. She had made
four trips this season, and was on her fifth
when she met. with the terrible disaster re
ported to-day. Whim of Waukegan, about
8.30 A,M., fire was seen issuing from a pile
of miscellaneous freight, stored around the
afterguards, outside the ladies' cabin, and
in ten minutes time the entire stern of the
boat was wrapped in flames.
From the statement of one of the rescu
ed it appears that all on board became de
moralized, even the officers, and no effort
was made to lower the boats. The only
survivors as far as known are C. A. Cham
berlain and Edwin Ilanneburg, passengers
from Sheboygan. 719 latter makes the
following statement :
There were in all about ono hundred per
sons on board, including eight or ten ladies
and seven or eight children. I saw smoke
arising front the deck below the ladies cab
in. There was a lot of straw and some
tubs laying near by, and the fire got among
them. I cried fire, and the crew and pas
sengers rushed front their rooms. There
was great confusion, and the fire spread so
rapidly as to convince me that it had been
burning a long time. Within five minutes
the after part of the boat was in names. I
don't think that all of the ladies had time
to get out of their state rooms, and some of
them Dud the children must hale been
burned to death. An Obit was made by a
portion of the crew to reach the small boats,
but it failed.
Mr. Chamberlain states that about 6.30
A. M., he was looking over the tides of the
steamer, and saw a porter come out of the
ladies' cabin with a scuttle of coals and ash
es, and going to the bulwarks, near where a
quantity of miscellaneous freight was, throw
the contents overboard, In about fifteen
minutes heard the alarm of' 6re, and saw
the flames issuing from this pile of freight.
It seemed not more than ten minutes before
the whole after part of the steamer was in
flames. In his opinion, when the porter
threw the coals overboard, the wind drove
some back into the freight. lie heard no
explosion, and thinks if the fine had caught
from a boiler explosion, it would have been
discovered sooner.
Captain Yates, of the steamer Cooklia,
states that when off Waukegan he saw a
burning steamer. Ile was distant from her
four or five miles, and bore down and resen
t two pmtkengers;---14e-t-kiaks it is nut pos
sible that any others were saved.
We learn from one of the survivors that
;Alter the steamer took lire below, the helm
was lashed hard sport, causing her to whirl
round and rand, as long as the engines
worked. The Cordelia did not leave the
wreck until it was burned to the waters
edge.

Short was her time of suffering here,
No power her life could save,
But few short days had passed between,

But why should we lament her death,
She has left a world of strife,
But though we miss our infant, dear,
She has gained eternal life.
Triumphant in the closing eye,
The hope of glory shone,
Joe breathes in thy expiring sigh
To think the race was ruu.
Then weep not, parents, for thy child,
Who front this would bath gone
To shine, a love of splendor, bright,
A star iu Jesus crown.
Why should we weep or grieve or wish
T. call her back from dust,
For she has gained a home in Heaven
Where gold will never rust.
Then weep not, parents, for thy child
