We presume there are few citizens of
Pennsylvania who mill riot admit that our
election laws hive been as satisfactory as
those of any Mate in the Union; that the
system of holding elections' has been aseilre 7
fully guarded ; ' and that we have had nci
more complaints of fraud 'than any of our
sister Conunonwealthe. The system has
been in operation for thirty years or over,
and in all that period, with perhaps here and
there an exceptional' case, the ptople .have
never asked for a change, and. the elections
held under it have been freely acquiesced
itij as affording as faii an expression of the
public will as it was possible to obtain. But
this very fairness of expression is what the
Badical leaders do not want. The election
(if Judge Sharawood last fall convinced them
that a majority of the people are Democratic
iu principle, , and that dnlei.s they could in
vent some plan to overreach the ruaAs their
power in Pennsylvania was gone. Most
of the working men arc Democrats, and
the 'conclusion was naturally arrived at that
the surest way to effect their 0 , 161 is to
place so many obstacles in the road as to
'keep this class away from the polls entirely.
To accomplish this, tt bill has been passed by
the Legislature and ~ ignetl by the Governor,
which will literally„deprire u large punkin
of the laboring population of the right of
' , mirage, by making it n matter of so much
trouble and daisy that they will be unable to
spare the necessary time for securing the
same. While the negroes of the South are
allowed to vote without regard to residence
or qualification, and given three or four days
•in which to deposit their ballots, white
'working man arc to have such stringent and
onerous restrictions thrown about them, that
they are deprived of the privilege altogether.
We have yet to learn that petitiou.s were
'sent to the Legislature from any source, ask
ing for the change, and if there were;they
were too significant in number to be deserv
ing of attention.
The Democrats of the Legislkture made a
desperate fight against the bill, but without
avail, the Radicals in a bddy voting for its
passage. During its final consideration in
the House, the .scene was one of the most ex
cifing that ever occurred in a legislative body.
Mr. Hickman. the Radical leader, in the
course of his remarks, asserted Unit an intern :
gent negro was supe r rior to an ignorant Irish
'Catholic, and should have the preference to
vote. Ta this Mr. Brennan, of Luzern°, re
plied in very strong language, denouncing
the member from Chester 'as an arrogant
falsifier. The privilege of debate was refused
to the Depwrats, the Speaker, by a precon
certed arrangement, preventing them from
securing the floor. Stung to indignation, a
large number of them walked out of the
; house, with the'object of leaving it without
it quorum, but, by some strange' determina
tion, enough returned to make fhe Constitu
tional quota, and the bill was soon after de
clared adopted. We do not wish to censure
those Democratic members who saw proper
to dissent from the plan of the majority, un
til we hear the reasons for their course, but
it must be confessed that, looking at the sub
ject from the present point of view, their
course is open to gnive suspicion and repro-
ANOTHER BASE OUTRAGE
The Radical majority in the State Senate
last week consummated an outrage they have
long been preparing" tor, by ejecting Mr.
Shugart, a Democratic member of that body,
from his seat, and giving it to Mr. Robinson,
his Radical contestant. The parties belong
to what is known . as the "Lung District,"
composed of Blair, Centre, Juniata, Perry,
Mifflin, and Fulton. counties, 'Which is en
titled to two Senatorial representatives. It
we n s careed out expressly to suit Radical pur
poes,,and was confidently relied uPort to
send two Senators of that party, hitt the
election of last fall disappointed their hopes,
3fessrs. Mclntyre and Shugart, both Demo
crats, receiving a majority of the votes. The
majority for the former gentleinan 'was some
thing near two hundred; while that for Mr.
Shugart was only twenty-two. On looking
over their prospects for the future, it was
seen that with the present Democratic repre
sentation in the Senate there was a fair pro
bability' of the Radicals' losing their -domi
nance in that body, and the design was at,
once hit upon-of declaring Mr. Shugareselec
tion to be illegal. Charges of fradulent votes
were tit l lly concocted, ‘ivw.d a committee of the
Senate was appointed for the- ostensible pur
po.se ot: investigating them, hut really with
the object of patching up a plausible excuse
for depriving him of his seat. The witnesses
examined were generally a set of unprinci
pled vagabonds, who could not secure
moment's credence before ably unprejudiced
body of jurors. One of the leading ones was
a man named o'3leari, whom twelve respon
sible persons, a soldier and a Radical; among
the number, swore they would not believe
upon urtb. Aui;ther was Elias hale, who,
the Clearfield Republican says,eloped with a
frail sister, 'quo weeks ago, and took five
thousand dollars belonging to the First Na
tional Bank of Curwensville, in that county,
along ; leaving a respectable wife behind to
rejoice at his departure." The friends of
Mr. Shugart brought scores of the best eiti
teract dee testimony of O'Meara and Ilate,but
their evidence had no more effect upon the
committee than a waft of the wind. The
ejection of Mr. Shugart had been determined
upon, proof or no proof, and if an angel front
the skies had spokt n in his favor, it is doubt
ful whether the committee would have
changed their determipition. By this means,
.the Radicals will prohably secure their as
cendary in the Senate a year longer, by one
vote, though there arc so many "slips be
tween the cup and the lip" That it would not
astonish us to find them tripped up yet.'

The most extraordi*J tritlittph cser won
•by our party in this countrrivris obtained:ern'
Monday by the Democracy of Connecticut.
For the last twelve Years thi Demperacy
have been regularly defeated there, with the
exception of Oita, when they succeeded by
the mere nominal majority of wir, on a poll
of near a hundred ~ .thousand votes. This
year the Radicals' made the most unprece
dented effiirtS to rigairiAelileratcf.
Money was expended without stint, speakers
sent into the 'State by the wholesale, and
every expedient for success resorted to that
ingenuity could 'suggest Gen. Grant was
nominated for President by the Republican
State Cdnvention, and the party had every
advantage which his supposed popularity
could give them. But all this availed them
nothing. The Democracy, without any ad
ventitious aids, with all the appliances of
unscrupulous partisanship against them, en
tered upon the contest, and won a most glo
rious victory, reelecting Gov. English by
about 1,800 majority, and carrying the Whole
State ticket along with him. ,We confess to
an agreeable disappointment at this verdict,'
for it seemed mutely - possible that the Dem
ocrats of Connecticut could heat' down all
the appliances of winoy and power brought
into use against them. The result proves
that Gen. Grant adds no - , popularity to the
Republican ticket On the contrary, it previa
that it is stronger without him thaw with
hint. It further indicates the judgment of
the people against the impeachment of the
President.. It is wore than thate--It is a pre-,
monitory symptom almost unerring, that the
Deniocracy will elect the nest President. lf
the Radicals cannot' earry Connecticut, a
New England State, and only retain their
majorities in other States of the aamaloc.sli
ty by steadily decreasing majorities, what
hopes remain for them in a contest which is
.to be decided by the people of the whole
I country?
Owing to this peculiar manner in which
the State is districted, the Radicals have a
majority p in IATIT - Suaches of the Legisla,
tare, not.Vithstanding the popular tilisJority
of nearly I,Boo...against them. This body has
a United States Senator to elect, in place of
Mr. Dixon, *hose term expires next fourth
of March, and who, although chosen as a Re
publican, has uniformly acted with the Dem
ocrats for several years. It does not follow,
however, that a Radical will be chosen. A
number of the members are known to be
conservatives, and Mr. Dixon's friends pro
fess to believe that he will stand a fair show
of re-election. There are sonic viho may
not understand why it was that the Radicals
carried the Legislature of Connecticut, while
the Democrats elected the governor. The
explanation is simple;and applies to all the
other New England States. Every town in
Connecticut has one membetof the Legisla
ture, however small its population. No town
or city his more than two members. The
large towns, such as New Haven and Hart- .
ford, are Democratic , but they have no more
votes in the Legislature than small towns,
with not one-tenth their population. It Is
under this system, based on towns, and not
on population, that the Radicals always car
ry the Legislature.
WE, give below a list of the Members of our
State Senate whose terms expire with the
present session, with the number of their
respective districta.:
2. Jacob E. Ridgway, Rep., Phila.
4. George Connell, Rep., Phila.
• 11. George Landon, Rep., Bradford.
12. L. D. Shoemaker, Rep., Lazerne.
13. Warren Coles. Rep., M'Kean.
18.=A. Heistand Glatz, Dena., York. '
19. David M'Conaugliy, Rep., Adams.
ri
22. Hariy White; Rep., Indiana.
23. William A. Wallace, Dem. Clearfield.
21. James L. Graham, Rep., Allegheny.
27. R. A. Brown. Rep., Lawrence.
Of the eleven Senators retiring, nine are
Radicals and two Democrats. The two
Democratic Senators have decidedly Demo
cratic districts, and will have Democratic
successors. We will gain a member in the
Ltizeriac district, where local defections de
feated our candidate in 1145. The Nine
teenth district is close on a fall vote, thotigh
it is nearly certain to be carried by the Dena
ocrat.F. With our present representation in
the Senate, and the probable gains in Octo
ber,there was a fair prospect of the Democrats
having a majOty in that body next year,
and, to avoid 51,41 A a result, Mr. Shugart, of
the Centre dikliet, has been ejected from
his seat by th ) Viladicals, on some petty
patched-up plea of frauds, which no fair
minded man believes to have had any exist;

MICHIGAN PLANTS WER HEEL ON
NEGRO SUFFRAGE.
, Michigan—Radical Mich igan—which gave
nearly 30,000 majority in- 1860, on Monday
last voted upon a new Constitution for that
State. One of the main features of the pro
posed Constitution—indeed, the one feature
for which the Convention was gotten up, and
the new Constitution presented to the people
—w4 Unit of negro suffrage. The COTIVM-
Aiwa would not submit the question of negro
suffrage as a separate proposition to the peo
ple, as it did of the liquor prohibition, but
embodied it in the new Constitution as a sub
stantive part of it, with the expectation that
the people, in order to carry the Consti
tution, which contained some popular fea
tures, would swallow DCVO suffrage. But
the result shows that they " counted without
their host." The telegrams of Monday night
figured up a majority of over 10,000 against
the Constitution, since when nothing further
has come over the wires on the subject. We
infer from this Ilia that even these high fig
ures do not cover the actual majority. Will
the Michigan Congressmen dare to continue
their attempts to force negro suffrage upon
the South, after such a verdict from their
own people ?

Our wort of the trial of POldeni. John
son closed with the proccedintraof 'Wednes
dayid last week. On Thursday they Were
renewed, and possessed hardly a general in
terest.- The galleries were thin, the fashions
were not so fully- exhibited, Senatom were
absent; and there were not twenty members
of Ilielrourssion'the Senate flOOr . . — tlia Chief
Justice took the chair a few minutes past 12
m. - In consequence of a tremendous dust
storm the chamber was so much darkened
that it was found necessary to, light the gas
over the glass roof, and the air was thus ren
dered very oppressive. The first witness put
on the stand was Representative Ferry,whose
testimony was to the same general effect as
that of Mr. Van Horn in regard to the inter
view between Gem Thomas and Secretary
Stanton at the War Repartment ' One point
'of additional testimony was elicited, in effect,
that in that interview Mr. Stanton asked Gen.
Thomas if he proposed to use force in getting
.posse,sion of the War Department, and Gen.
Thomas replied that be did not care to use
force, but. had fully made up his mind what
'to do. Gen. Emory, commanding the District
of Columbia, was called, and testified sub
stantially to • the Same effect as heretofore
published. He called on the President on
February 22d, in obedience to a note from
Col. Moore, the private Secretary, and in re
ply to the inquiry informed Mr. Johnson that
he knew of no changes in the disposition of
the troops, the number of which he also
furnished, as requested, for the reason that an
order for a change would come through
Gem Grant, and pass through the witness'
headquarters. Gen. Emory concluded his
evidence as follows: -
"The President said: `Ain - I to understand
that the President of the'United States can
not give an order to the army except through
the General of the Army or through Gem
,Grant,'and I replied that suet'. was my im
pressio4and that was the impression of the
officers of the army generally.. I said farther,
that when the order was issued some discus
sion ensued relative to its construction and
the duty of officers under it, and several
lawyers were consulted about it and gave it.
as their opinion that we were barred by the
orders, whether they were constitutional or
unconstitutional. The President read the
order, and said it was 'not in conformity with
the Co,nstitntion of the United States, which
makes me Commander-in-Chief, or with the
language of your commission.' -
The prosecution made nothing out of this
evidence, for it confined the President to a
mere expression of opinion, and did not con
vey an intimation that Gen. Emory was re
quested to act otherwise than in conformity
with the law and onlereited. The President's
rejoinder to Gen. Grant concerning the lat
ter's promise to hold possesSion of the - War
Office until formally relieved, - was then of
fered in evidence, and read, as heretofore
published. Mr. Stanbery asked whether the
Managers intended to read the certificates of
the Cabinet officers referred to.. in the com
munication. Mr. Wilson replied in the neg
ative. 31r. Stanbery asked the ruling of the
Chief Justice upon the point passed. A brief
discussion ensued between Messrs. Evarta
and Bingham. The Chief Justice submitted
the point to the Sennte as to• whether the
Managers should read the accompanying
certificates of the Cabinet ministers as part
of the letter or not. The yeas and nays be
ing ordered thereon, resulted—yeas 20; nays
20, So the Managers were not required to
reed the papers. Ex-Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury, Chandler, was next-put on the
stand to prove that in the appointment of
Edmund Cooper to the vacancy caused by
Chandler's resignation, the President was
conspiring to obtain coutiol of the public
moneys so as to secure the paymentof Gen.
Thomas' requisitions as Secretary of War.
This ridiculous pettifoggihg was foiled
by the witness himself producing a statute
showing that even an Assistant Secretary
could do nothing of the kind. The Senate
very properly refused to receive the evidence,
and ruled it out by 27 to 22. Two telegrams,
nearly two years old, which passed between
GoyernOr Parsons, of Alabama, and the
President, were next offered, the point of
which was not apparent, inasmuch as that
from the President advised 'agai nst the pro
priety of Alabama rescinding i t s ratification
. of the constitution submitted in 1805. ,As
the trial . closed . the Chief Justice came in
for a vote. There was a tie on adjournment,
and he decided by his own vote in the' let
firmative. Snmner's disguSt at this was ap
parent.
At the opening of the Court 9FiFriday, the
galleries were not more than bne third filled.
When the house of Representatives was in
notineed, no little amusement was created by
the appearance of just twelve. members, in
cluding the Speaker and the Chairman of
the Committee of the Whole. The seats for
the members of the House in the angles of
the Chamber remained vacant forthe greater
part of the day. The diplomatic gallery con
tained four representatives and a small boy.
The entire day was consumed i4roving the
allegations in the tenth and elev i enth articles
of Impeachment regarding the President's
speeches in Washington on the 18th of Au
gust, and at Cleveland, Ohio, on the 3d of
September, 1866.` The reporters who testi
fied, entered into a general explanation of
Pitnl an's system of phonographic short hand,
fron'i which it appeared that they were fully
competelmt to port the President's speech
on the first occasion named. Col. 'William
O. Moore, the President's Secretary, testified
to revising said speech without masking any
material alterations, and added that he did
so without the suggestion. dr authority of the
'President. The only point in the evidence
lay in the fact that the Washington (Irani
de had a report of the speech which bad not
been revised by Colonel Moore. After a re
cess at 2.30 p. m., Mr. Hudson, of the Cleve
land Leader, Mr. Meßwen, a phonographer
from New York,' who reported the Presi
dent's Cleveland speech to the World, and
Mi. Stark, a short-hand writer of the Cleve
land Herald, were examined as to their rc
ports of the Cleveland speech of September
3, 1866. They generally agreed as to what
the President said in that speech,though,Mr.
Hudson, who is not a short-hand wiiter,was
put through a pretty sharp examination by
Mr. Evans as to the mode and manner of re-'
-porting in long-hand. No legal questions re
quiring the decision of the court were raised
during the day.
The proceedlngti under the impeachment
articles on Saturday were unimportant and
uninteresting. They were confined to the
examination of 11. L. Walbridge, short-hand
repOrter of the St. Louis Democrat, of Jo-
seph Dear, another short-hand reporter, and
of R. S. Chew, chief clerk of the State De
partment.
,Walbridge testified to having
stenographically reported the President's
speeches at St. Louis, on the Bth of Septum- .
her, 1866. In one of the three speeches made
by Mr. Johnson in that city on that day, the
pointed comparison of the Radical leaders
to Judas Iscariot occurs. The speeches were
read by the witness in tit it emphatic sen
tences, by order of Ruder, but their dramatic
recoil was greater than the dramatic effect.
Dear's testimony was' to the same purport.
Mr. CheW's testimony went tro allow the
changes made in issuing itommis.sious to
Federal apPointees since the passage of the
Civil Tenure act. The time names prior had
been "during the pleasure Ol the President;"
these words have been changed to •subject
to the conditions prescribed by law." - The
Inter form has obtained ever since. the Civil
Tenure bill named over the veto. - C. Eaton
Creery, Appointment Clerk in tho Treasury
Department, was recalled. He identified a
letter from Mr. Johnson to Mr. - McCulloch, of
date August 14, 1867, informing the latter
that in compliance with the Civil Tenure
bill, Stanton had been suspended and Grant
appointed Secretary of War ad interim. But
ler's attempted point in this was to demon
atrate Mt. Johnson's recognition of,, and otti-
itial action under that A 1131, - Prepared
bp Secretary Seward,' of retrievals of heads
cifilepartments since the organization of the ,
' B utler. At
then pet in evidence by
'Butler. At this point Butler announced the
prosecution closed. Reservation was asked
and granted of a. right to submit evidence,
oral or documentary, of a' kind cumulative
of facts already brought out. Mr. Curtis,
counsel for the President, here asked for a
postponement of proceedings till Thursday
of this week. He stard that the delay would
enable them to systematize their testimony;
would expedite matters when they were
ready to put in their testimony; which testi
mony would comprise few witnesses,' but
would include considerable, documentary ev
idence which time was required to classify.
Conness moved that Wechac.day be substitu
ted for Thursday. Cries of "give Went what
they ask" from Senators in all parts of the
Chamber pointedly reflected on the repudia
ted Californian. Sumner attempted to hector
the Chief Justice into allowing the surcharg
ed managers to oppose the motion for delay.
Mr. Chase direcilV silenced Sumner, by eon
struing the motion into a proposition for ad
journment, and forbade &bate. Sumner
subsided in sputtering exasperation. Vote
was taken thedelay was granted; yeas 37,
nays 10—only Camerpn, Chandler, Cole,
Conkling, Drake, Morgan, Pomeroy, Stewart,
Thayer and Sumner being willing to qcny
the moderate request of the counsel foil the
President. • -
'The case, - as made out by the prosecution,
amounts simply to no case at all. Even those
who are loudest in declaring for the removal
of the President express their disappointment
at the weakness of the evidence adduced
against him, and sonic of . them go so far as
to express the opinionthat it is not sufficient
to secure the necessary two-thirds vote for
conviction. .That the case will be ten fold
stronger for the President when all the evi
dence is in, there can be no doubt. The main
point upon which the impeachers rely is the
alleged violation of the . tenure-of-office act.
Aside from! the manifest unconstitutionality
of that law, there is nothing in it'proteeting
Mt_Stantoufrotaretadval at any time.' By the
proviso in the first section the members of Mr.
Lincoln's I Cabinet are expressly excepted
from its operation, and, it is said that will be
made perfectly plain by both written and 07'1
testimony before the counsel for the defense'
close their case. In this connection it may
be stated, on the authority of a prominent
Republican Senator, that when the bill (ten
ure-of-office) was - under consideration, Mr.
Stanton appeared in the Senate Chamber, on
two or three different occasions, and advised
his party friends to vote against It, as it would
not protect Cabinet officers from removal, if
passed, and was a measure of very doubtful
utility. There are more Wan two dozen
Radical Senators who are cognizant of thi s
fhet, anti yet they are all expected - to vote for'
the conniption and removal of the President
of the United States, for daring to assert his
constitutional prerodative in seeking to rid
himself of an obnoxious Cabinet officer.
So far, not more than' six witnesses have
been summoned by the President's counsel.
Gen. Sherman arrived on Sunday in response
to a subtrna requiring him to testify for the
President. Judge Curtis will make the argu
anent for the President on Thursday (to-day)
and; as now arranged, the other speeches on
the same side will be made by Messrs. Everts
and Stanbery in. the order named. It is un
derstood that the two remaining speeches for
the prosecution are to be Made by Messrs.
Boutwell and Bingham, the latter to make
the closing argument. Wesuppose the Pres
i tlenfs counsel will rueet all the charges point
by point; but there are only two things
which they need to prove : first, that the
President disavowed front the beginning all'
intentiomto use force; and secondly, that ho
stated his sole purpose to be the procurement
of a judicial decision. If he ran establish
these two points by creditable proofs, there
is nothing left in the charges of substance
enough to deserve a refutation.
The Radicals have lost their impndent as
sumption of a conviction by a strict party
vote, for it is now conceded that several Re
publican Senators will vote against it. Mr.
Sumner is reported to have said that he was
apprehensive six Republicans would sustain
President Johnson. The friends of the Pres
ident claim that Fessenden, Trumbull, Vab
Winkle, FoWler, Sprague, Anthony, Feeling
huysen, Willey, Giimes, Rowe and possibly
Ross, Edmunds and Sherman, via not vote
for conviction. •
