THURSDAY, NOVEVIIER 28, 1867
THE only business of importance that has
been transacted at the extra session of Con
gress, which convened on Thursday of last
week, is the report of the Impeachment
Committee. Most of the time has been . oc
cupied in presenting bills and _resolutions in
tended to be acted upon nt the regular ses
sion.
TnE Fortieth Congress will close its extra
session this week, and on Monday next, the
regular session of the Forty-first Congress
will commence, as provided by the Constitu
tion. As the - old officers will mostly be re•
elected, it is not likely that any delay will
take place in the organization, and the An
nual Messages will probably be transmitted
to both Houses on either Monday or Tues
day. We shall publish the President's Mes
sage in full in our next issue.
JEFF. DAVIS , Truitt. AGAIN. POST-
PONIED.
The.trial of Jefferson Davis, which was to
have commenced at Richmond, on Tuesday,
has been postponed to the fourth Wednes
day in March next, Owing to the alleged in
ability of Chief Justic - e' Chase to preside & 7
fore that period. Thi , Court, in granting the
extension, agreed that in case Judge Chase
could ndt be on hand in March, leave of ab
sence would be allowed to' Davis until the
following term: The counsel for theGov
emment will be Mr.-Evarts, the celebrated
Radical lawyer of_New York, and Messrs.
Charles O'Connor, Wm. B. Reed and James
T: Brady will appcaron the part of the pris:
oner. We do not believe that either Mr.
Chase or the Government really wish to try
Davis, and they- would gladly get rid of the
matter if _they kneW how consistently. It
would be a great deal bettei! to discharge
him at 'once. than to keep op this costly
piece of child's play:
GEN. GRANT'S VIEWS OUT AT LAST.
The long and anxiiiusly looked. for testi
mony of Gen. Grant• before the Judiciary
Ipommittee is published at last, and we sus
pect that the Radicals Will hardly be as
eager to elect him president, afterreading it.
Throughout the examination he betrayed an
evident desire to avoid Committing himself,
and on several occasions became slightly
provoked on being que4tioned pretty closely.
His testimony shows that whatever Grant
May be, ho is not a Radical at- any rate. lle
said that from the first he was opposed to
punishing the rebel officers and soldiers, be
. lieving that under / their paroles they were
entitled to pursue 'their individual occupa-•
_
- lions without molestation. On the subject
of-amnesty. he favored a 'proclamation ex
tending it to all classes,wltli very limited ex
ceptions. Tim:President, at the commenee
ment of his Admisistratinn, he says, was in
. favor of severe measures, but afterwards
changed his mink-and we are led to pre
sume' from the : tenor of the testfinony, that
; •
it was caused by the General's influence.
Re says he could see no reason miry a rebel
General should be excepted from amnesty
any more tliim a Private, and he did not. ap
prove the $20,000 clause of Mr. Johnson's
lamation. The General boldly admits
that, he signed the - application for pardon Of
Generals Lee,Longstreet, French, Stuart and
Beall, and regrets that he did not endorse
those of other leading officers which were,
presented to him. He. sustained the Presi
dent's- policy of establishing Provisional
Governments in the South, believing that it
was necessary ter the public security, and
entirely in accord with the Constitution. On
this point, his - -testimony possesses a vast de
gree of significance. He tells the Committee
' that Mr. Johnson's plan of reconstruction
- was precisely the same adopted by Lincoln
Just previous to his assassination, thus verify-
Me the assertions we have made for the last
two years. We give his language verbatim,
that our readers may see we are not mista
ken : •
"Mr. Lincoln prior to his assassination had
inaugurated a policy intended to restore those
governments. . I was present once - before his .
murder when a plan was read. The plan
adopted by Mr. Johnson was substantially
the plan which had been inaugurated by Mr.
Lincoln, as the.basis for his future action.
do not know that it was verbatim the- same,
I think the very paper which I heard read
twice while Mr. Lincoln was President was
the one which was carried right through.
"Q. What paper was that? A. The North
Carolina proclamation.
"Q. Yon understood that Mr. Lincoln's
plan was temporary, lobe either confirmed
or a new governmnt set up by Congress?
"A.-Yes, and I understood Johnson's to be so
too; that was my impre's'sion ; I never heard
the President say the plan was to be tempo
rary, but I was satisfied everybody lookedibt
it as simply temporary until Congress met.
"Q,. You stated that the North Carolina
proclamation was a continuation of the pro
ject submitted by Mr. Lincoln ; I wish to
inquire of-you whether you ever compared
Ahem to ascertain whether they were the
same or not?
- I "A. No, sir, I never compared them ; I took
them to be the very same paper, they
were substantially-the same, if not the same."
This testimony will place the General in
a new-and satisfactory light before the Ml
'don_ It shows hlm to be a shrewd, clear
-headed, patriotic and honest man, who has
.the courage and manhood to do what he be
lieves right, regardless of partisan ennsidern-
Sivas. . The Radicals who hre beep so eager
to - secure the General will now drop him
like a hot cake, and we shall see some Of the
most amusing specimens of craw-fishing that
have.ever been witnessed.
THREE FENIANS EXECUTED
_By Atlantic Cable we have the exciting
intelligence that the three Fen ians condemned
to death at Manchester, England, were pub
licly executed in that city at 10 o'cloCk in
the forenoon of the 23d inst. The cmwtl
which ivitnessittl the hanging was very large,
but the military preeautionj of the Govern
ment were so formidable that .no _outbreak
occurted. The bodies were given . to their
friends, and were followed to the grave by a
funeral procession consisting of two thous
and persons,,,,carrying emblems and other
devices expressive of their sympathy -with
the deceased. A meeting was held at which
the speakers condemned the execution in
bitter terms, and a feeling of the most,intesse
indignation prevailed among the Irish peo
ple throughout Great Britain, This senti
ment is rapidly extending over the United
States, and in nearly every city and town
meetings have either been held or soon will
be to express the indignation of the Irish pop
illation in regard to the matter. The inter.
est attaching to It is aggravated by the , fact
that cineli more of the men were natural-.
laed citizens of the United States, and plead
this fact in extenuation of their punishment.
It would seem, however, that no effort was
made in their behalf by Secretary Seward or
Minister Adams, and much had feeling ex
ists amongst the Irish relative to the course
of those officers.
A
FASHIONABLE lady of Reading, a woman
of culture and refinement, was found in the
streets of that city on Monday in a state' of
brutal intoxication and uttering most sho'Ck
lug language. A gentleman acquaintance
happened to meet her, 'and conducted her
away to her home.
The correctness of the above item, which
appeared in our news column, a few weeks
ago, is denied by the Reading Gazette, which
courteously takes us to task for inserting it.
It was clipped 'front one of our ) exchanges,
and we are sorry it appeared in tiar cohnuns.
We know from experience that the ladies of
Reading have no_ttuperiors fofrefutement and
morality anywhere.
- WAY is a sharp razor like a dull one ? Be
cause the one shaves thoroughly, and the
other ohms tho'-roughly.
TUB LATE. ELECT/WS.
Welive at last the official figures from
most of the states - in which . elections were
held in November . The voic of - New York,
complete, with the exception of Kings coun
ty, is as follows to
1803, Governor.'lsei Secy. of state.
Fenton, Rep., 366,315. McKean, Rep., n 4,095
Hoffman, D., 352,526. Nelson, Dem., 372,949
Rep. null, 13,789 Dem. maj., 48,8rA
Total vote, 718,841 Total vote, : 697,044
Falling off in total vote, 21,797.
Republican lon from 1866, 42=0; Demo
cratic gain front 1866, 20,423.
This is an enormous gain, but encourag
ing as it is, the result is trifling beside that of
New Jersey. That State gave in 1865, 2,769
Radical majority; in 1866, 1,491 ; and this
year the vote is tts follows:
Democratic, -
Radical, -
Democratic majority, -
In comparison with the votes cast, the
Dentocratic gain in New Jersey is the largest
obtained during the year, and our friends
there may well congratulate themselves there
on.
The returns from Maryland exhibit the fol
lowing figures: Bowie. Democrat, 63,603;
Bond, Republican, 21,890; Democratic ma
jority, 41,712, in a total vote of 85,492. At
the election in 1866, the total vote for State'
Comptroller, the higliest office voted for, was
Regular Democrut 40,204 ; Independent Dem
ocrat, 1,56; Republican, 27,351 ; a Demo
cratic majority of 12,913 in a MO vote of
69,183. -
The official returns of the election in Wis
consinitave reduced the Radical majority to
4,500, with probabilitii.s that it will be brought
down to about 4,000. The vote is one of the
largest ever cast in the State, reaching fully
to 130,000, while the vote cast last year, at a
period of unusual excitement, reached to but
a few hundred dyer that figure. The clear
Democratic gain over last year is 23,908. The
Democratic vote is 6,679 larger and the Rad
ical vote is about 13,000 scalier than they
then were.
The latest advices front Minnesoto confirm
the report that negro suffrage has been de
feated by about one thousand majority,
though the Radical ticket is elected.
The Belleville
,(Illinoi4 Democrat says that
at least two-muds of the counties of that
State gave Democratic majorities at the late
election. As no State ticket was etiosen,lt is
difficult to obtain the full vote.
The following table will show the inmort
ant gains made by the Democracy during the
year 1867, at the State elections: .
California, -• , - 30,000
•
Connecticut, -2,000
Indiana, -- - 25,000

"West Virginia," , • - ' - 4,000
Wisconsin, - - , - 24,000
In round numbers, three hundred and
forty-eight thousand ! That will do for the
present. It is a notable fact, also, that in not
a single state which has held an election this
year have the Radicals made a gain. They
have lost everywhere and in all.
GOY. PENTON IN TROUBLE.
The contest for Senator in the Chautauqua
Yd District appears to have created nti
unusual amount of •personal animosities and
bickerings among the Republicans.' Now
that the election is ON er,all this seems to cow.
centrate upon Gov. Fenton. Both factions
of his party are berating him in a manner
more forcible than elegant. His interference
has pleased neither side, and the friends of
both of the Republican candidates in the dis
trict lay the blame of their defeat at the door
of the Governor.
The ; Journal, of Jamestown, which has for
severafyears been the home organ of Mr.
Fenton, publishes two letters, written by his
Excellency during the campaign, which place
hint on both sides, and follows it up with bit
ter denunciation of his deception. Front the
facts thus related it appears that there would
have been no Republican run against Sessions
in that district had not Gov. Fenton urged
and requested it. The 'Governor, in fact,
headed the bolt against the regular nominee
of the party. But when the second candi
date was planed in the field the Governor
seemed to have been overcome with one of
those spells which frequently overtakes him,
and endeavored to play the role of non-com
mittal publicly and secretly took direct in- -
terest in the election of the bolters' candi
date. He played this so tine that he pleased
nolxxlY. The result is that Sessions and his
supporters are now denouncing the Govern
er for defeating him by bringing out another
candidate. Colonel Allen and his friends
are also berating the Governor Mr inducing
him to enter the field and then giving him
cold, or indifferent support at the best. Be
tween the two Gov. Fenton has no paity left
in Chautauqua outside of the members of his
military staff and his lobby agent, who is
there only a portion of the time.
TIM FINANCIAL qUIRSTION.
All the information we receive from Wash
ington leads us to believe that a majority of
Congress is in favor of a farther postpone 7
ment of specie payments, and - temporarily
inflating the currency of the country. The
following, homy'? Washington correspon•
dence of the Press, is a sample of the infor
mation sent from the Capital to all the pa 7
lets :
"The movement in favor of the spc:edy re
sumptjon. of specie payments will not be
strongly seconded in Congress, and no doubt
Secretary McCulloch hags-been duly advised
of it by this time. All the-great interests of
the country are directly involved in the cir
culating medium. This is not only true of
the West, but of the entire South. Money
can only be procured at the highest rates,
and men are prevented front embarking in
legitimate enterprises because of the difficulty
in procuring accommodations. Intercourse
during the day with members of Congress
and others leads to the belief that this policy
will be strongly and successfully supported.
There is equal unanimity against anything
in the shape of repudiation. "What is writ
is writ," and nothing can prevent the fulfil
ment of the national faith Wherever it has
been authoritatively pledged.' „Indeed, a lib
eral financial policy Is so generally advocat
ed that it will not be surprising if it should
include a large majority of both parties."
HARD TIMES.
A. Radical eotemp orary observes there ate
more people .out of employment now than
there were in the hard times of 1867. And
who are responsible for, this state - of affairs?
Who prevented tlte Southern States frorn
becoming purchasers of almost all the arti
cles manufactured in, the country ; who
drew capital from active ur ; who increased
the expenses of the government, and, as a
matter• of course, the taxes of the people ;
who, hi short, rendered it 'impossible for •the
poor man to earn a proper living 'for himself
and family, br , the merchant, manufacturer,
and mechanics to obtain a fair profit upon
money invested in their enterprises? If
people are out of employment, if business is
flat and unprofitable, the Radical party is in.
fault. They have had the control of the
giwernment, and it is their sectional policy
'which has produced that derangement 'ot
business of which ail classes are complaining
at the preserit time.
Tan - New York Times asks, "What is the
Democratic policy and what is its bUCCeSS r.
It is the restoration of the Union and a pin
of about 850,0tX1 cotes, more nr less.
THECA MPITTER REPORTRIPMACIIIKENT El FAVOR
, . OP T.
To the surprise of nearly everybody, a
majority of the ! Judiciary Committee of the
National House pf Representatives on Mon
day reported in favor of impeaching the
President. The report was signed lig Messrs.
Williams, Boutwell, Thomas, Lawrence and
Churchill, all Radicals. The latter is a new
member, who has opposed impeachment up
to within a feW days, and significant intima
tions are given out as to the motives that have
changed his opinion. The minority of the
Committee, consisting of Messrs. Wilson and
Woodbridge (Republicans), and Messrs. Eld
ridge and Marshall (Democrats), also submit
ted reports, taking strong grounds against
the impeachment, and conclusively arguing
that the testimony fails to establish the posi
tion of the majority. It is stated that there
are enough Republicans in the House, united
with the Democrats, to vote down any fur
ther proceedings on the subject, but we have
so little faith in Washington stories that we
prefer to believe nothing until we see the
question -decisively acted upon. Nobody
who dispassionately reads thestiniony ta
ken before the Committee will" blieve for a
moment that there is an inch of ground upon
which a partytan stand and justify such a
'course as that recommended by the men who
.favor impeachment. But the mere presen
tation of the report, tind the debate upon the
same, cannot fail to have a disastrous effect
upon the nation. Party lines will be more
tightly drawn, the needed legislation of the
counts•, delayed,' reeimstruckion postponed,
business injured, and the public mind in
flamed and rendered incapable of looking at
questions in a calm and reasonable 'manner.
This will be The fruits of - the impeachment
movement, and in the end the Radical party
will suffer More than the President. A great
many of the thinking Radicals foresee the dis
• astrous results of the policy of the ir partisans in
Congress, and the majority report has been re
ceived with a degree of coolness that must
cut the Impeachers to the quick. The Tri
bune, the Erie Dispatch, and- nearly all the
ablest papers of the party, pronounce the
majority report an absurdity, flea severely
criticise the inotirps mat led to its produc
tion.

NEGRO "LOYALTY" As IT WAs.
The plan of reconstructing State Gov
ernments. by placing them in the hands and
under the control of the negroes, meets with
the warm approval of the Radicals, because,
they claini, the blacks are Minost the only
really "loyal" people in th, South. In view
of this theory it is well to inquire how these
"loyal" blacks really stand, and to whom'qnd
to wharwere they "loyal" during the war ?
There were, according to the best estimates,„
about six hundred thousand able-bodied male
negroes in the South at the. commencement
of the rebellion. The records of the War
Department show that something like two
hundred mousana negroes In all were im
pressed, or volunteered, or purchased as sub
stitutes for the service in the federal army,
of whom nearly one-half were from the North.
It is supposed that.thesie negro troops were
more or less *useful, though it is some time
now since Sumner even has poured out his
pathos in the Senate over the blood shed by
these sable sufferers in their superhuman
struggles to reacts the soup-kettles of the .
camp. What they did or did nor do on the
Union side, is a matter of utter, insignificance
' in comparison with the fact that the remain
ing five hundred thousand and over able
, bodied black men in the South were in the
rebel service, directly ort indirectly ; that
they - raised the fortifications Which so suc
cessfully resisted our arms for nearly four
yetirs ; and that they, assisted by the oltine
roes and the negro women and children,
raised the food whit% sustained the rebel
armies in.the field. It is unquestionable that
without this neg,ro assistance the rebellion
would not have lived six months. The
blacks were the back-bone of the war on the
Southern side, and their labors were entirely
voldniary, for in whole sections of the South
the negroes were left almost entirely alone on
the plantations, while the whites were away
on.the field of battle. To such "loyalty" the
South owes the support which enabled it to
meet with such stubbornness the shocks of
:Northern armies, month after month and
year after year; and such "loyalty" - is re
warded by Sumner & Company with privil
eges and powers that make these negroes,
who kept the
.rebellion alive so long, the
virtual governors of the Southern States to
'day.

TOR PAUPER itowsPAPEzui OF TOE
The devices by which die Radicals in Con
gress manage to squander the many millions
of money wrung from the toil , and sweat of
the laboring men of the North are almost in
numerable. . As no newspapers were to be
foiind in the Southern States advocating ne
gro superiority, and as it was certain that
none such could be established there with
any hope of deriving support from a legiti
mate business, Congress proceeded to make
liberal appropriations for keeping up some
thirty or forty pauper journals in that - section.
Some of these incendiary sheets are given a
bonus of $20,000 a year. Their subscription
lists amount to about nothing, and almost all
the advertising they have is derived, directly
or indirectly, from -- the Government. Arc
the tax-payers of the North satisfied with this
znetluid•of expending the money wrung from
them ? If they - are, let them continue to
vote the Radical ticket; and they may rest
assured that the extravagance which non
marks the appropriations of Congress will not
be checked.
Tus Government clerks in Washington arc
trying for an increase of salary. We trust
they will not get it. Retrenchthent and econ
omy must now lie the national policy, and no
party which does not practice 'it need hope
forpopular &roc. If it were Possible to save
the enormous sums which we waste every
year in swindling, or needless outlays, taxa
tion would soon he reduced one-half. The
lobby has also mustered in strong force, and
it seems clear that Congress will he pressed
with unusual energy for enormous appropri
ations for .every conceivable purpose. But
the people are in no mood now for extrava
gance. They will insist upon the most rigid
economy in every branch of the public ser
vice.- Additional. bounties, additional pay
for public servants, expenses for unnecessary
committees, salaries for useless employees,
and all the other familiar expedients for de
pleting the public treasury, must be stopped
at once. Gen. Grant his set a good example
of retrenchment in the War Department, and
all the other branches of the Goveniment
must be mule to follow it.
DURING one of his late speeches, George
Francis Train was asked his opinion of the
negro issue, and.responded as follows :
"Educate him, send him to school, teach
him the meaning of a vote; and when he is
equal to self-government, give him the fran
chise. [Applause.)' "Why don't this team go
faster?" asketildtss Anthony. "Because," I
replied, "it is not our Race.' [Laughter.] It
-Was a mule team. [Laughter.) lam willing
to admit that the negro is our brother, but,
by George, he is not our sister, [loud laugh
ter,] nor our aunt, [laughter,] nor even our
dear grandmother. [Loud and continued
laughter.] All those who think he is say aye.
[Tremendous laughter and cries of no.]"
Pnommrsv,Radical politicians in Virginia
now declare themselires in favor of reinvest
ing the disfranchised whites with the ballot,
finding it. to be necessary in order to rescue
the State from the control of the negroes, led
on to desperate conduct by fanatics and Had-.
icalS, and to secure a proper white represen
tation to Congress.
IT Is said that Geo. W. Childs, the well-to
do publisher of the PhiludelphiaLedger,has
offered 51,250,060 for the New York Herald,
and that Bennett is seriously debating the
pmposal.
SOUTH
Couit Prociedings.
The regular term of the Criminal Court
commenced on Monday at 11,o'clock, Hon.
S. P: Johnson presiding. The forenoon was
mainly occupied with motions: haring no
public interest. In the case against -
Hewitt, charged with assault and battery, the
Court ordered that it might be 'settled if the
defendant would pay the costs and giyo bon,tls,
in $2OO to keep the peace a year. On mo;
Lion of the District Attorney; it nolle prose
qui was entered in the, ease of John Archi
bald, indicted for embezzlement", in consider
ation of his paying the costs. In the afternoon
the Grand Jury were called, and took their
places, S. C. Stafford' acting as foreman.
Judge Johnson delivered the usual. charge to
them, embodying the following features:
=9
The Grand Jury, he said, represented the
popular will of the county, and it became
them to look after its welfare anti good - re
port, It was their particular province to,
keep a watchful eye upon all its public offi
cers, to see that each and every one strictly
performed his duties; and if any were found
derelict, a presentation of such dereliction
must be made to the Court. They must look
after the Interests of the Poor House, make
an investigation of the Jail, and if, in their
opinion, it wits thought unsafe, it should be
so reported, with any recommendations they
saw fit to make.' If roads and bridges are
not properly attended to, it is the duty of the
Grand Jury to Make report of such facts ; if
the officers of the county are delinquent in
their duties, to take cognizance of such ; it is
the duty of members who are cognizant of
the existence of violations of the law,—such
as the sale of lottemtickets, establishment of
gambling houses, violations off the liquor law
and all other such cases that affect the moral
welfare of the community, to report them
and - bring them before the law. It is the
duty of members to Snake known any viola
tion of the law to other members, and if it is
thought proper, to bring presentment of them
US the Qourt.: Comparatively few of the vio
lations Of the - liquor law come to the copir
zance of the 'Court It is the special duty of
the constable to be vigilant In ferreting -out
violations of the lieense law, end - if he has
failed to make report of such; it is your dirty
to present the 'fact. Many constables have
endeavored to be fitimnil, but sometimes
failed. It litot been reported, to him that cer
tain .onstables and police, he knew not
whether it was practiced to any extent in
this community, had been in the habit, after
making arrests, of compromising with the
parties by receiving motley from them. This
must not lie allowed—there is no safety to
our lives unit property if such a practice be
suffered to gain a foothold: The Grand Jury
must see to it. The poor directors of the
county had made a rail for finals, and it was
said that some $114,000 would be necessary
during the-year. It might be advisable to
change the site of the Poor House, as it had
been suggested' that the present firm is not
large enough for the number of persons that
might be profitably employed. It might be•
advisable to sell the present location and buy
in the southern part of the county where
land is much cheaper. In the disposition of
bills, where the evidence is not such as to
warrant bringing the case to trial, you will
add in your finding, whether the prosecutor
or the county pay the costs. In the case
where the presentment is made by an officer
it would be impolitic to put the costs on them,
as it would deter them from the proper dis-
Zharge of their duties. Theprand Jury then
retired.
The prosecutor in the case of P. Schaaf,
indicted for selling liquor to'v man of-intem
perate habits, havitg left for parts unknown,
a nolle prosequi was entered on payment of
costs by the defendant.
- On motion of , Mr. Camphausen, the fine of'
$lO imposed on D. Illig, for non-attendance
as a juror, at the last term, was remitted, the
latter gentle Man having made affidavit that
he did not receive a summons.
In the case of Thos:Turly, of Mill Creek
tp.. indicted for selling liquor without a li
cense, the jury brought in a verdict of not'
guilty, biit defendant to pay costs.-
George Brumstatter was put upon trial for
stealing a horse from Capt. Alden Pomeroy,
of Conneaut tp., on the night of the 23d. of
August. The testimony was very clear
against the defendant, and seeing the certain
ty of conviction lie plead guilty and threw
himself upon the mercy of the Court. The
Judge sentenced him to nay a fine of $lOO
and costs of prosecution ; return the stolen
property, and be imprisoned with hard labor
and solitary confinement in the Western Pen
itentiary for a period of four years and 'six
months.
Mr. Bowman, counsel for Martha Worden,
indicted for larceny, asked for a nolle prose
qui on the ground thut tho ru , sae-utor had
novand would not appear. The application
was granted.
In the case of Jerome Schneider, a nolle
pros. was issued, on condition that he would
pay the costs.
Geo. Stinnett. sued for wife desertion by
his wife, Mary Ann (late McGuire) was put
on trial. The evidence proved that he had
been her beau for ii year; that she had be
oome In an "interesting condition;" that he
married her before Esquire Gunnison, to
avoid legal proceedings; and afterwards re
fuse,d to live with or support her, she having
given birth to a child soon after the marriage.
He was found gifilty and sentenced to pay
her $2lO for past expenses, $3 per week for
maintenance, payable every three months,
and give bail in the sum of $l,OOO to do as
ordered, or go to jail. lie chose the latter,
and was sent to board in the Fifth Avenue
