wt 11 timed article from the Clearfield Ttepub- .
'wan, the widely known organ of the Democ
racy of that county, upon the Presidential
canvass, and the part which Pennsylvania
may justly ask to sustain in that great and
intensely important struggle. The source of
its appearance, and the internal evidence
which It bears, convince us that we cannot
be mistaken in attributing its authorship to a
gentleman in whose judgment and patriot
ism. the Democracy of Pennsylvania have the
most entire cordidenoe, and whose opportuni
ties for ascertaining the public temper entitle
his views to more than usual consideration.

IMPEACHMENT STOVE BELOW PAR.
The Senate met In secret session on Mon
day, to ; l3ear the dews of the several Senators
upon the hapeachment ease, previous to tak
ing a tint vote on the several articles report
ed for decision. An immense crowd was in
attendance about the Capitol all day, anxious
ne.vettre inform dion which would enable
them to goes., at the probable result, and the
excitement ran higher than at any stage dur
ing the trial. •On opening the proceedings set
the secret ,esAion, Judge (lime said that in
potting the vote upon the different articles,
he should adopt the form heretofore used :

Mr. Stonner's motion that each Senator
should rise it his place. and, without debate
or explanation, answer guilty or not guilty,
sya. agreed to. Dehate on the impeachment
articles then followed at great length. Mr.
Sherman, (Bad.), of
,Ohio, said he mold not
vote for the first article. because he was on
record to the effect that the civil tenure bill
did not apply to Mr. Staakin. Ife held that
the President had the right to make reafovala
by the aet of 17: , 19 It is supposed that he
will vote for the other articles, though he
gave no pledge of Such au intention. Mr.
Stewart, (Rad.); of Nevada, was in favor of
conviction. Mr. Grimes, (Rad.), of lowa, de
nounced :ill the articles, and Said they would
he kicked out of any honest police court. He
could not agree to destroy the harnionious
workings of the Constitution, in order to
gratify the prejudices of his fellow partisans.
Mr. Edmunds, of Vermont, and Mr. Wil
liams, of Oregon, followed, both intending to
vote for conviction. Mr. Howe, (Rad.), of
Wisconsin, could not support the first article,
but would the second, third and part of the
eleventh. Mr. Hendricks, (Dent.), of Indiana,
-spoke against thsk,whole series. Messrs. Pom
eroy, of Kansas, and Morrill, of Maine, (Rads.)
would rote for all except those resting on
the President's speeches and his interview
With Gen. Emory. Messrs. Doolittle, Dixon
and Johnson, (Dents.), spoke against convic
tion. Messrs. Henderson, of Missouri, Trum
bull, of Illinois, and Fessenden, of Maine,
(Rads.), argued against all the articles. Mr.
Buckalew, (Dent.), spoke aguifist, and Messrs.
Conness, Wilson and Morton fur conviction.
The Senate adjourned at a late hour in the
evening, and the impression was general in
Washington that•the President would be ac
quitted. The. correspondent of the N. Ys
Sun says :
"Immediately after adjournment Mr. Chase
took into his carriage Senators Henderson,
Johnson and Sprague, and in another which
tolloweal closely behind were Messrs. Grimes,
Trumbull, Fessenden and Van Winkle. All
eat to the residence of Chief 3tuttice Chase,
where an elegant dinner Was prepared, over
which it is said the formation of a new party
was discussed, in which the President is to
ploy a prominent part and Mr. Chase is to be
a candidate for the Presidency."

oppositiou to conviction, and it is not unlike
ly that others, finding the way the current is
setting, may conclude to follow conscience
and save their credits by voting on the same
side. Only seven votes are needed, ht addi
tion to the twelve Democrats, to give im
peachment its quietus, and The appearances
now indicate that they will be secured, with
- some to spare. The Radicals- all over the
country are In a high state of fury in regard
to what they call the -apostasy" of their
Senators, in refusing to perjure themselves at
the bidding of faction. The most terrible
. threats are launched against them, and a
powerful pressure is being brought to bear,

The Senate met lbr the purpose of taking
the vote on Tuesday, when it wa.9 ascertained
that Mr. Howard, of Michigan, one of the
impeachers, was 50 seriously ill that he could
not be pkesent. Not willing to risk the loss
of even a single vote, the Senate on motion
of Mr. Chandler, then adjourned to Saturday,
without positively fixing for a vote at that
time. Oar latest advices represent the Rad
icals, from one extent . of_the country to the
other, to be stirred up to the frantic point,
in their ruse over the probable defeat of the

being held everywhere to condemn the Sen

their names are bandied about, coupled with
the most offensive terms. 4 persevering at

ADMINSION OF ARKANSAN.
The passage of the bill to admit Arkansas
to representation in Congress was the im
portant feature of last week's session, anti it
WAS rushed through under the previous
qm , tion. It was admitted by members on
both sides that they had never had 'lnoppor
tunity to read the Constitution of Arkansas,
but Thad. Stevens did not seem to think
that would make any difference, and he de
clkted to postpone the bill to allow members
to become better informed. Hr. Eldridge
(Dem.) appealed to the House not to perpe
trate such an infamy as to force the bill
through at this time. A brief discussion
then followed, when Mr. Baker, an Illinois
Radical member, took the floor, and opposed
the fundamental condition in the hill which
provided that the State of Arkansas should
never restrict its present basis of suffrage.
He claimed that Congress had no right to
enact any such condition; but the bill was
passed by nearly a party vote, and sent to
the Senate for concurrence. It seems to be
the intention of tbe Radicals to pass this bill
and the South Carolina nil!, which is precise
ly similar, and admit the Representatives
from those States, without waiting for the
ratification of the fourteenth amendment to
the Constitution of the United States by
three-fourths of the States, as required by the
fifth section of the supplemental act of 1867.
GRANT'S POPULARITY.
The elections held this spring do not bear
out the Radical theory of Grant's immense
popularity. It has been morally certain for
the last six months that he would be the Re
publican nominee. The elections which
have taken place show that- the party -is
weaker than it was last year, and that the
reaction against it Is still in progress. If the
Republicans who reinforced the Democratic
party last year only practiced a stratagem to
secure the nomination of Grant, as was al
leged, why do they not go back..; It is quite
true that their great losses in the : autumn
electionli alarmed the Republicans,and fright
ened them into taking a candidate who is
not connected with them by his antecedents,
cares nothing for their policy, and has bar
tered his principles for a nomination. ,They
caught a( his supposed prestige as drowning
men are licahl to • catch at straws. Has he
Imoyanei enough to save them ? The recent
elections :demonstrate that he is not a float
but a weight; that the jutrty is weaker this
year dish it. was without him. In New
Hampshire, in spite of a strenuous canvass,
they lost part of their last year's majority.
Coln t) necticut, in spite of more strenuous,
nay, of desperate exEitions, they are worse
beaten th.in they wet' last year. If General
Grant hay any strewth 3IS a candidate, where
k the proof of it ? What tinge the Republi
cans gained by making him their candidate ?
THE CASE WELL STATED.
Ex-Governor Horatio Seymour addressed
a large meeting at Bridgeport, Conn., last
week. From his speech we make the follow
ing extract, and ask tiff it the attention of
every reader:
"I eutured to ask to-day a very intelligent
man, whose position in life is proof of his ca
pacity and sagacity, how much ii - would cost

could procure his food and clothing at first

to support himself? and the answer was, "six

estlmale. -Now, you are to remember how
much the east of every thing is multiplied
by taxation in its various. forms. Now, all
labor above .lx hours is put upon you by
the tax-gatherer. It is put upon you by the
policy of the Government. Of course we
cannot lift the load of taxation altogether

hours of labor to sixhours per day; but I tell

TEE - BATTL E THE BATTLEFIELD
AND TEE CANDIDATE.
The great issue of the pending ponflictis,
shall the Government created by. the Consti
tution be perpetuated, or shall it be supplan
ted by a centralized organism? Subordinate
to this and connected therewith arc the
questions of reconstruction, of fiegro'suprema
cy and of national finance. Radical leaders
see these the means' to the attainment of their
great end. States are coerced into the sup
port of this project ; negro votes are valueless
but for this object, and patronage and place,
banks, treasury and financial agencies are
made to lend their powerful influence, to the
preservation of Radical rule, to the centrali
zation of the Government and the overthrow
of the Constitution. The battle to be waged
involves the vitality of our iustitutions.
• The ,battle-field in this great struggle is
Pennsylvania. In Presidential contests fur
seventy years, the Keystone has invariably
voted with the majority. ller vote in Octo
ber has always been the certain precursor of
her verdict in November. Success in Octo
ber is invariably
i followed by success in No
vember; defeat n October is the herald of
defeat in November. Her voice in October
is potential . with other Commonwealths, for
New York and New Jersey usually follow
her lead, and always show sympathetic action.
Our victory in October, 1867, swelled the
majority in New York in November. To
lose the October election, is to luse Pennsyl
vania. The loss of Pennsylvania is the loss
of the battle. The loss of thLs battle is the
destruction of the'Government. Here is our
Thermopyhe ; the "ides" of October deter
' mine our destiny. To wiu this contest eve
ry energy should be bent; to insure success
every extraneous aid should C?a yielded us ;
to compel this victory our brethren every
where should aid us.
The action of the New York. Convention
In its selection of a candidate *ill be potent
in its bearings for good orevil upon ourcause
in OClaber, and that 'great party,"tribunal of
thelast resort" should heed the voices of our
counsellors, and attentively ponder the views
of the leading men of our deWgation. Penn
sylvania is uncommitted to a candidate. She
will sacrifice to success everything* but prin
ciple. We- believe that her Fletegation will
esteem-auecess here in October vital to suc
cess throughout the Union in November;
that they will insist upon the choice of that
crualidate who will most essentially aid us in
carrying our State, and that they will resist,
with all honorable means, the nomination of
any one mhuse antecedents or present posi
tion will tend to make that result in any de
gree probleinatical. We believe that they
will regard the prestige of a great name, or
the most faultless party record, as of no
weight, if it be rendered clear that success is
jeopardized by the selection of their possCssor.
The hour is inopportune for the requital of
party services or the elevation of party idols..
Our first duty is to save the Government ;
and we mistake the character of those great
men who arc now prominent for the nomina
tion at New York, if, in the spirit of self-sac
rifice, they too, do not say "everything for
the cause, nothing for men." The choice
of a candidate is net difficult, when an invin
cible will for the preservation Of the Govern
ment, a spirit of cordial co-operation for suc
cess and a determinatiori to sacrifice our Fair
sonal preferences to the common good, are
brought to, the task. The mass of our De
mocracy are deeply imbued with these senti
ments. bthe)" regard success here as a
tal prerequisite to final victory; and therefore
they insist upon the nomination of one who
can assuredly, carry Pennsylvania. There
are such, men, both-- - soldiers and civilians,
men of large minds, thoroughly trained in the
logic of our governmental system and in the
traditions of our party, of spotless reputation,
of unblemished party record, and surrounded
with the. prestige of success. Give xis one of
these, and our march to victory will be an
easy and a triumphant one.—Clearfield Re

of social distinction is wealth." How far
front that day are we in the United States ?"
CONSIDERABLE canvassing is going on in
Washington over the Radical nomination for
the Vice-Presidency. The contest has prac

Wade's chances• look the brightest. His

elected to the Chicago - Convention, while Mr.
Colfax is sure of but fifty-two.

THE New York Herald says that, "During

the government of, Mr. ,Lincoln strove to
soften as much as possible, rarely .invading

present Senatorial revolutionists this old
maxim has been materially modified, until
now it may be said to read: "After war - the

As "An LSTERLII" MAJIIIIAGE.—Another
curious case of marriage occurred near
Grandview, lowi4 last week. A young gen
tleman living iti-Johnsen'connty, lowa, pro
cured a marriage license in that county, and
went to Loulia county to carry away one of
its fair maidens,' He engaged a clergyman
of Grandview to de the hymenial knot, who
did so on the strength of the Johnson coun
ty license. They slept on it one night, but
only to learn, on awakening in the morning,
ihritif they were - married at all, It was only
an "ad interim," so to speak, for that if the
marriage was legal, the partied en in It
were liable to fine. What should be done!
They couldn't take it back, that was certain,
and more, they didn't want to. A council
was held, and it was decided that the groom
and clergyman should go to Wappello, pro
cure a license, and. go -through - the motions
again. They came; and the groom wanted
the license dated back one day "to kiver ac
cidents," but the judge refused. The license,
however, Was issued, liind the anxious couple
made one according to law.
Miss TERESA Cotters, of London, has been

in the arm with a knife; that, on another;
she had stabbed him in the face with a fork;
that, on a third, she had given him seven
wounds on the bead with a loaded _candle
stick ; that, on a fourth, she had nearly goug
ed his eye out with a key ; that, on a fifth,
she had cut his forehead with a plate ; that,
on a !dub, she had stabbed him in the thigh
with a pocket knife; and that, on a seventh;
she had knocked out three of. his teeth with
a glass, and cut his throat with the fragments
afterward. Altogether he had been five times
to the hospital through her violence. At last
he gave her into custody, observing that he
should. "not have taken so severe a course
with a lady if she had not done it so often."
Tun extraordinary phenomena of a man
marrying a man' occurred in an adjoining
county, but a few- days ago. A gentleman
"wooed and won" the hand of 'a young lady.
The day of the nuptials was appointed and
the groom "came to, time," as did, apparent
ly, the lady. But it seems the lady had a
juvenile brother, resembling her; so closely
that, when - dressed in calico, none but the
most practiced eye could discover: - the differ,
ence between them. -Ile presented himself,
was saluted with a kiss, and an unauthorized
prelate of the magisterial persuasion went
through the ceremony of making the twain,
one. Music and dancing filled the honr, and
