The adjournment of the High Court of Itu-

articles:, was calculated, to excite some stir

that on the remaining articles the vote for
acquittal would have been stronger than on
any of the rest. To prevent that from ap

senators voted to adjourn, sine die.

ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC STATE
The. State of Oregon, on 'Monday, as we
anticipated and predicted, united herself
with the rapidl , extending Democratic col

a member of Congress, and, although the re
turns are meagre, enough has been received
to indicate a Democratic majolity of about a
thousand In 1800, for the same office, the
State waa Carried by the Radical by 553
majority. The Radical vote has been steadi

carried the State in that year by a majority
of 1431. I , l'yery county heard from has gone

SENATE.
The Leavenwdrib (Kansas) Conservative
charges rrat it was 'cno trap - when Setuar;r
Pomeroy, of Kansas, offered, through his
brother-in-law, to Colonel Cooper, to sell four
votes azamst impeachment. He was to dis
pose of his own vote, and three others of his
Radical colleagues, for that sum. ,The Con
servative thus enlightens us in regard to
Pomeroy's antecedentS. It says:
`Pomeroy and his brother-in-law haYe
been in this business of buying and .selling
before. The tirst adventure of this kind in
Kansas was in the Legislature of 1861; when
he purchased forty-nine Republican members
to vote for him for Senator, orcr Marcus J.
Parrott, and paid them out of the money de
posited with him by the generous people of
_the East to purchase food and raiment for tlie
starving poor of Kansas. Men arc. now liy

paid to each member, and some whO saw a
portion of the money paid to the purchased.
It appears he is not now in the purchasing
line; he is occupying the role of saleSruan!

The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Times adds the following:
"But there is still more testimony concern

party to select as its candidate fbr Pre,ident.
-Gov. Seymour:" the writer state:, "took de

would present to the American people the
issue of the judieiary against military power,

Pendleton by aiding iu thus harmonizing the
anti-Radical elements, would make himself
the great leader i.)f his party in the future.
In the course of conversation it Was hinted
that the platform upon which Mr. Chase
would stand would he acceptable to the anti-
Radical party. The Democrats present, rep
resenting nearly every section of the State,
received Gov. Seymour \ suggestion ; not, only
with the respect due to her source, but
many of them with livedy satisthetion, feeling
that if Mr. Chase's pogtion is such as the
' Governor intimated it to be, the Democracy
can have a candidate with whom, under the
circumstances, not only the Presidency, but
a majority in the House of Representatives
can be stewed."
SMOKING TOE:11 01,7
Gen. Cary, the independent Republican
Congressman from Ohio, introduced a mo
tion into . the Rouse last week quoting
%.zigu,.ge of the: , resot.ie
Which 'dtclared in fitvor of paying the public
creditor ui accordance with the 'spirit and
mode' of the . ontract ; and accompanying it
with an explantitory clause, that neither the
spirit nor the lcAte.c. of the law requires the
payment of the bonds in coin, but that it
will he good faith to pay them in the same
money that is paid to the soldier, then Wow,
the orphan and the laborer. The resolution
caused a great flutter in the Radical nest, and
several counter motions were made at once.
The Radicals dared not vote directly on the
resolve, and tried to dodge the yeas and nays.
Washburne declared in favor of the yeas and
nays, but by a party vote the resolution was
'Barked! Thus this 'highly moral and troo
ly foil party. disposed of this resolutin a
Manner so that it can be construed asst in
dorsement or a rejection of the greenback
policy, according as the member voting lives
in•the East or West. And this is the way In
which the two-faced platform at Chicago is
to be interpreted.
Tar. bloodshed which it is said Grtuit pre
dicted would follow the acquittal' of the
President, has turned out to be nothing but
the tear-shed of disappointed office seekers.
TIE SOIITHISRe zoL I2 OO EL . EGATES AT
The Southern delegation in the Chicago
Convention formed in many respects a curi
ous feature. There were in all some ten
colored delegates from the Sotith. These
represented a variety of hues, from the dark
black or ebony to the pale yellow, and were
as a general thing dressed "to kill," with
their ruffled bosoms, "exquisite neck-ties,"
and everything that would convey the idea
to their brother darkies that they belonged
to the aristocracy and the ruling class. They
were seen mixing in the crowds around the
hotels, but more as listeners than participa
tors. The uegroes appeared to feel above
placing themselves on equality with the com
mon mass of politicians, and whenever any
politicians desired to talk with them they .
found it necessary- to take them to their rooms
and do it up in a more genteel way. Some
of the New York delegates labored with these
colored gentlemen for their vote for Fenton,
but somehow those that they treated the -most
voted against Fenton from the first to the
last. They had the colored 'delegates from
Texas in tow, treated—them in their rooms,
and one of the delegates front New York City
invited them to call on his wife, who_was
then stopping at the hotel, and followed up
his invitation with a tong rigmarole of what
he had done in behalf of the negro and how
much he thought of the colored race. It was
rubbed in so thick that it disgusted the color
ed delegates, and from that moment forward
those colored "gemmen" - from Texas were'
opposed to Fenton and his friends who
would stoop co low as the person alluded to
did.
This is the first national convention in
which buying and selling.-of votes was a
common occurrence, boldly talked over and
done without the least effort to cover it up.
The Southern delegations were nearly all
put down before they arrived at Chicago as
certain for Wilson. Soon after they made
their appearance it commenced leaking out
that these men were turning over to some
other candidate, The Wilson men on making
inguiriea of delegates pledged to him, would
get the reply, "Oh, we are all poor, and who
ever gets - our vote must do something for us."
Another delegate would 'vary this story by
saying that he had to mortgage his place to
get to the CoriventiOn, and must be matte
hole. The next delegate would say that
there were several fatuities suffering in his
neighborhood and a little expenditure of
money would do a great deal of good. All
manner of dodges of this kind and statements
of be above character were made, showing
that money was what these men were after.
Before the nomination was made, they bad
got to be so hold that the matter was openly
discussed in their meetings. A committee
advocating the claims of a certain candidate
waited upon the Mississippi delegation, and
after stating their business were told by the
chairman, in the presence of the whole dele
gation, that these candidates had got to do
something before they would vote ibr them.
"We are poor ;Ind want monev," was the
constant store. In fact, the carpet-baggers
were looking:after their rations, and wet de
termined to tylvel them.
A friend (...f Wade went moue of the Flori
da delegaudn anti eked him to support
Wade. Thq, Florida delegate wanted to

A "WEAK CANDIDATE
Now that Gen. Grant has formally accept
ed the Chicago umnimaion, it is of interest
to inquire what elements of popularity he
possesses that will unite the Radical party
in his support, or which will be likely to
draw to him that class of wavering voters
who decide our election , . He has apparent
ly been a sneeessful soldier, if! not a skilful
and gallant one, and our presidential elections
have given very good proof of the willing
ness of the American people to honor those
whom they believe to be "military 'heroe.."
In this, General Scott proved to be.an ex
ception. He was wanting in the qualities
which awakeirenthusiastn. He was egotisti
cal, selfish, calculating, arid ambitious. These
qualities blinded the people to his nobler and
more generous ones, and 'it is not probable
that the same characteristics in Grant will
be overlooked hr the voters in the coining
presidential campaign. Scott Wasi a rue
friend and tin honest parlisan. Grant has,
by turns,-been treacherous to the President,
to the Radicals iii Congress, to Stanton, and
to the conservatives. The foibles of Scott
were" redeemed ht' sterling 'worth, proper
gentlemanly pride. and an unsullied charac
ter. The meanness and , eifishuti4 of Grant
are made more disgusting by his dissolute
habits. , Scott', military fame rested upon
victories achieved by an inferior over superior
force. Grant tuner hart tt.battle with au in
ferior force; anti, in his last campaign against
Richmond, he lost more men than Lee had
in IL;, entire army. This fact, together with
the blunders at Donelson, Belmont, and
.Shiloh, resulting either from Grant's intem
perance or incapacity, or both, is a wet
blanket upon - popular enthusiasm over his
career as a soldier.
His political status is alike unsatisfactory
to both wings of the party in power. He
was a Democrat during the was, a conserva
tive at its close, and a jumping -jack in the
hands of the President, until warned by
Washburnc and other leaders of the rump
that he must do works inceti for Radicalism
if he hoped to ohlaintbeJaccibin nomination.
Upoc, th3is lr:gt l,eactnl, When Stanton was
suspended in August, Grant had not made
up his mind as to which, if either, party he
would ally himself. ' Up to that date,
,the
Radical press daily proclaimed that he was
acting with the President, fifd his acceptance
of: the war department was published as
proof of the fact. He did agree with the
President to defy anyattempt by the Senate
to reinstate Stanton, This he has confessed.
He did agree to give the President timely no
tice of an intention to vacate the war depart
. rent, should he conclude to obey the deci
sion of the Senate concerning the reinstate-
Meat of Stanton. He violated this agreement,
and denied that he inagm it ; but ho has been
convicted in this of falsehood and perfidy by
proof which cannot be controverted. His j
conduct, in this affair was so mean and dis
honorable that it is looked upola with con
tempt, even by Litter partisans who respect
good faith and detest treachery.
On the whole, we may conclude that
Grunt's military record will not overshadow
the political issues of the campaign ; and his
political history has about it much that, is' e
pulsive to all parties and branches of parties.
He is the least objectionable of the Jacobin
candidates; and, could he be elected he pro
bably would Tylerizit the party.
DEATH OF EX.PRESEDENTBIICIUR.
Elb
The serious illness of ex-. President Buchan
an for some months past has been generally
known to the country, and prepared the pub
lic mind for the announcement of his death,
which took place at Wheaftabd, his country
residence near Lancaster, on Monday morn
ing last. His complaint:was pleuro-pneumo.
nia, which at times would leave him nearly
entirely, and then return with sudden and
increased violence. A.few days before his
decease he was supposed to be recovering,
but the recent damp spell caused a relapse,
and he commenced sinking rapidly. His last
words were "God bless my country," which
were several times repeated. One of his
latest requests was that ex-presidents Pierce
and Fillmore and President Johnson should
attend his obsequies. The funeral was to
have taken place at Lancaster to-day.
Mr. Buchanan was born near Gettysburg
in 1701, and was, therefore, seveuty-seven
years of age. He was elected to Con
gress in 1820, and served with great distinc
tion for ten years in that body. He was,
appointed by President Andrew Jackson
Minister to Russia. He was afterwards Uni
ted States Senator from 1837 to 1845. In
that year he was appointed Secretary of
State by President James K. Polk. In 1852
he was selected by President Pierce Minister
to Great Britain. In 1856 he was elected
President of theKnited States. He has thus
filled the very highest offices in the country
—and filled them too, with integrity and em
inent-ability. llis Administration has been
fiercely assailed for the policy it pursued rel
ative to the secession of the South, but pos
teritY will do it justice, and relieve him in a
great degree from the odium which partisan
malice has east upon him. That he was a
true patriot, devoted to the welfare of his
country, there can he no doubt. In the emi'
nence of his talents, in the extent of his es
•pericnce, in his flue acquirements and classi
cal accomplishments, he contrasts most fa
vorably with his predeFessors in the Presi
dential chair.
On Tuesday, President .loluison issued the
following • proclamation, calling for a testi
monial of respeet to the memory of the de
ceased statesman
"The President. with deep regret, announ
ces to the people of the United States, the
decease, at Wheatland, Pa., on the Ist inst.,
of h is honored predecessor, James Dothan:in.
This event will occasion mourning in the na
tion for the loss of an eruhfent citizen, and an
honest public servant. As a mark of respect
for Ma memory it is ordered that the execu
tive deptirtmentit be immediately placed in
mourning anti all business suspended on the
day of his funeral. It is further ordered that
the War and navy departments cause suitable
military and naval honors to be paid on this
occasion to the memory of the illustrious
dead. ANDREW Jonxsox.
A SNALL PIECE OP BUSINESS
During the'debate in the lowei house of
Congress, on Saturday, Gen. Morgan, of
Ohio, made an exposure of - what is - certainly
one of the pettiest acts of partisan meanness
that we have ever had to . record.-: Miss Yin
nie Ream is an artist of considerable reputa
tion, who his produced some works for the
decoration of the Capitol, anal been allowed
to occupy a vacant room in that building as
her studio. It happens that Senator Ross,
who voted for the President's acquittal, is a
hoarder at her (loiter's; and that Miss Ream
is an intimate friend of himself and wife.
Gen. Morgan, hi his speech, stated that a
Radical member who was then in his seat,
had gene to Miss Ream and charged ber with
attempting to influence Senator Ross to vote
for acquittal. She denied the charge, and
the honorable member demanded that she
should inflect:leo that Senator's vote for con
viction, which s.he declined. The member
then thref.tened her, saying that it would be
the ruin of her it she refused. She did re
fuse, and the threatened punislunent overtook
her. The Radicals o'rdered her to leave the
hadher statuary thrown out and
the valuable work was broken to pieces.
This exposnie created • a sensation, 'and calls
were made for the name of the metnber who
had threatened Miss Ream with Radical ven
geance. Mr. Morgan said if the member
would call for Mr mane himself he would
give it promptly. Again it was demanded
Morgan should name the State. It was an
•sweretl "the gallant State of Indiana." The
seem became too warm to stop the chase,
A_ member from Indiana arose and asked if
he was the party alluded to. Another and
another followed until it hecame.mAdeut the
guilty party would he caught, rimally, the
notorious Julian was forced to his feet, and
ill a tone of refreshing humeenee asked, "Ant
I the member allude , ,r to'," Mr. Morgan re
sponded, "I refer to, the distinguished gentle
man, Mr. of tmlittna. Mitts. Vinnie
Ream is.itsuly to swear to the filet..." .Tolian
sought to c'xplain the occurrence, but Gen.
Mekgan nailed him upon every point, and he
at letkgtlr sat down amid the derisive shouts
of all she member.. This is the first instance
in Amerleatt polities where parry spite was
carried to the extent of robbing. a woman of
her means of support; for rentsing to unsex
herself, and mingle in the quarrels of the
Washington politicians,
A -NEW sEcRETARvor WAR
The Senate ,prt Saturday resumed the con
hider:llion of Gen. Schofield's app.'4.lfunent as
Secretary of War, which, it will IN cecollee
ell, the President sent in about
, the com
mencement of the 'lmpeachment proceedings.
The only objection made was in reference to
the wording of the notice of appointment,
which stated that it was in place of Stanton,
"removed," The Radicals feared that Scho
field's confirmation might be construe..? into
an admission of4he President's rireat to re
move such officers as he saw tit, regardless
of the civil (entire bill. Pinsk', the knotty
point was got over by the pc., , •sa,ge of the fol

the President's luck if the .uomittation would
prove a mistake."
TIIE LEADERS OF RADICALISM
In the Chicago Convention, es-Gov. Joseph
E. Browne, of Georgia, made a speech in
which he declared:
"I am an original secessionist. I was born
in South Carolina, and grew up under the
influence and teachings of Calhoun. I early
inbibed his States' rights doctrines. I Went
into secession cordially, and stood by it as
long as there was any chance to sustain it.
I fought you openly and boldly."
This from the rebel Governor of Georgia—
the local custodian of Andersonyille during
the civil war Naturally enough, now that
the war is over, and the political buzzards
are settling over what is left to us of consitu
tional government, he finds his way into the
Radical party. We recollect this man Browne
in 1860. He was the bitter opponent in his
own State, of such Union Democrats as Her
schel! V. Johnson and Alexander H. Ste
phens; and when the split took placo at
Charleston, he joined hands with Butler,
Sickles, Cochrane and other Northern sup
porters of - Breckinridge, in preparir i gthe way
for civil war by securing the election of Lin
coln.. He was a southern lieutenant of Jeff.
Davis, last as Ben. Butlex waved the Con
federate chief in the Mirth. Most appiorcia,
tely, they meet again this year in political
fellowship.
It is a noteworthy fact that these betrayers
of the Democratic party and treason plotters
of 180 should now usurp the leadership of
the Republican party. Logan, Browne,
Cochrane and Sickles are the most promi
nent names in the Conventionproeectlings at
Chicago, while Butler and Forney play the
despots at Washington. They monopolized
the leadership, and impelled by greed of
power, have already commenced the conge
nial labor of reading out of their party all
who dare oppose their ambitious schemes of
personal aggrandizement. Chief Justice
Chase and Senators Fessenden and Trum
bull, who Were present at the birth and
christening of the- Republican party, as far
back as 1851, are branded as political traitors
and corrupt and . purchased statesmen, by
these original pro-slavery secessionists and
active disunionists.
That these men did not annUillate Ameri
can Democracy is no fault of their own.
Any organization possessing fewer elements
of vitality would have succumbed to their
treacherous blows or open hostility. Their
unsuccessful efforts only demonstrated the
fact thlit our organization is as impregnable
to assaults from within as it is from without.
Driven from power by the popular errors and
fanaticisth of the day, the Democratic party
calmly awaits the welt considered, sober se
cond • thought of the people. That verdict
will vindicate its past history, and cover our
opponents with the humiliation of lasting de
feat.
THE ISSUES OP TUE CAMPAIGN
The issues in November Will not be who
commanded the army at "Belmont," at"Don
nelson," "Vicksburg," and "Richmond," in
1862-5--lovhether it was well cotnmanded or
not, or the degree of reward that should be
bestoived upon the successful General. As
to the latter, who can deny that the reward
has not been great ? He has the highest Pos
ition in the army—a position that was never
filled but by one person, and that was George
Washington. Ite has it for life. In its_sal- .
ary and perquisites it is equal to $20,000
year. Has not General Grant been pretty
Well taken care of; anti can he say, if he is
not elected President, that the American peo
pie are ungrateful? 'Why take ;him out of
the military office, with which lit is acquain
ted, to place him in a civil trust, about which
he knows nothing,? But; as we have said,
these are not the qUestions to bq decided in
November. The questions air infinitely
more important :
Is General Grant in favor of negro suffrage ?
Is he in favor of forcing it upon the States,
by the Federal Government, at the point of
the bayonet'?
Does he want . ;the South Africanized, as it
will be,' under :the Radical Congressional
policy ?
Does he believe'that the horde of negroes,
lately slaves, in the South, arc fit to be in
trusted with the direction of the Government
in that section, and froth there be connected'
with the Government of the nation?
Is he in favor of paying the people green
backs for their debts, including the soldier
and the pensioner, yet believe that this
money is not good enough for a few bond
holders to take ! Is he in favor of paying the"
five-twenty bonds in gold at a hundred cents
on a dollar, when they were bought at forty
or fifty cents on the dollar, and when the
holders were never promised gold, but tire
legally payable in greenbacks? Is he in fa
vor of perpetuating the National debt as
permanent institution, saddling, the people
with an-annual interest of one hundred and
twenty millions of dollars in gold, impover
ishing and beggaring them in their re
sources Upon none of these issues does
General Grant occupy the right position.
Ho is pledged to negro suffrage; and he is
pledged to the bondholder against the peo
ple.
SPEAXB A PIECE AND
GRANT
EM=I
The Committee appointed by the Chicago
Convention, to formally tender to General
Grant the nomination for the Presidency on
behalf of the Republican party, performed
that duty on Friday evening of last week, at
his residence in Washington. The General
replied in his usual brevity, closing as fol
lows :
"If chosen to till the high office for which
you have selected me,'" will give to its duties
the same energy, the same spirit and the
same will that I have given to the perfor
mance of all duties which have devolved up
on meheretofore. Whether I shall be able
to perform these duties to your entire satis
faction time will determine. You have truly
said, in the course of your address, that
shall have no policy of my own to enforce
against the will of the people." •

71, oem-ral llittigey, President of the
Vittionid u n ion Repubtiran Onirention
In formally accepting the nomination of
the National Union Republican Convention
of the 2tst of Stay instant, it seems proper
that some statement of my views beyond the
lucre acceptance of the nomination should be
c•xpressed. The proceedings of the Conven
tion were marked with wisdom, moderation,
and patriotism ; and, I believe, express the
feelings of the great mass of those who sus.
tained the country through its recent trials,
endorse their resolutions. Helmet! to the
,oftlce of President of the United States, it will
be my endeavor to athninister all the laws in
good faith, with economy, and with the view
of giving peace, quiet, and protection every
where. In times like the present it is im
possible, or at least eminently improper, to
lay down a policy to be adhered to, right or
wrong, through nn-administration of four
years. New political issues not foreseen are
constantly arising ; and a purely administra
tive officer should always be left tree to exe
cute the will of the people. I have always
respected that will, and always shall. Peace

economy of administration, will lighten the

THE_ REGISTRY ACT BEFORE TIIE
SUPREME COURT.
We have already annotmeed that a test
case has been made up and taken to the Su
preme Court, for the purpose of ascertaining
whether the Registry Act passed by the last
Legislature is constitutional or not. • The
matter came up before that body on Satur
day, when W. L. llirst, Esq., called attention
of the Court to the case, and suggested that
as it was of vast importance to the people
and about to be put in force, an argument'
should be had at once. Justice Strong said
the Court had before it a regular list, which
ought to be followed to prevent confusion,
find Justices Read and Agnew announced
the same view, and thus formed a majority
of the Court against Chief Justice Thompson
and Judge Sharswood, who favored the ar
gument et once. The case was brought be,
fore the Court through the instrumentality
of Hon. Wm. A. Wallace, Chairman of the
Democratic State Central Committee, who
has employed Messrs. Phillips, first and
Biddle, of Philadelphia, and ex-Chief Justice
Woodward to conduct the proceedings. - It
will probably come up for argument some
day this week.
WILL HE a..
The question now revers, since General
Grant's nomination, will he resign his posi
tion as General of the Army. If he does not
resign he will afford the best practical _evi
dence that his confidence in his election is
not of a very vivid. character.
There is a manifest impropriety in the lead
ing, General of the katlulu Army running
for President, and at Vie same time retairiug
1.77 , r
his military pOsitioni Past nsueriaro has
shown, too, thttt , there is danger 'to 'ptddi4.
liberty in it, as Well as personal impOpric:
ty.
' The military de - spritistn' bill - plates tbb
whole control of the political machinery in
the Southern States - in the hands of General-
Grant. Will he have the effrontery to use
that dictatorial poWer which has been rut in
his hands by.a.lacordoleat Congress, fonds
own elevation ? MI be use the bayonets
directly in one-third of .the States to secure
electoral votes friendly to him? .We shall
see. In the meantime public sentiment
should thunder in his ears—"rtegn 17 .
POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS. i
LurnAcm.rx.vr is christened "Lost Cause
Junior.",
ThE Chicago platform in brief means the
ballot for tbe negro and gold for the bond
holder.
Brum:Low said last week : "I aim- very
feeble, but there's a heap of devilmentleft'in
me yet." Nobody doubts it.
Sicaims,Ben. Butler, John - W. For
ney and John A. Logan are nor the leaders
and managers of the Radical party.
Sonr.noor pithily says that Giant is on
neither side of one-half of the questions of
the day, and on both sides of the other, half.
TFIE Charleston Mercury, Lynchburg Re
publican, Petersburg Index, Mobile Register,
New Orleans Picayune, and th 6 Memphis
Avalanche aro all in faynr of Gen. Hancock
for President. -
SAID the Tribune, editorially, August 17,
1867: " Probably General Grant can afford
to be a deaf find dumb" Candidate, but . this
country cannot afford to elect a deaf and
dumb President.",
Scow, the "available" candidate of the
Whig party, iecelved the electoral votes of
Vermont, Mass#husetts, Kentucky, and
Tennessee, in all V. out of 296. Grant, "the
only available fiandidate" of the Radicals,
may or may not succeed as well„
Tatum were seven managers be impeach
ment and seven Republican ScUatcirs voted
for acquittal ; each manager disgusted one
decent Senator. Ifad the House scent but
six blackguards the President • might have
been convicted.
Iyumi the impeachment business com
menced, we warned our Radical friends that
before they were through with it; they would
be heartily sick of the whole' matter, and
they are now inclined to think We were a
trite prophet. •
CURTIN, "the Soldier's friend," made a
very poor figure at Chicago. He received a
few complithentary votes on the first ballot
and was quietly dropped. Forney was put
at the head of the delegation from this State.
Perhaps that had something to do with the
complete failure of the Curtin Men..
Stn. Turn Low WREn has published a card
stating that his: testimony lately made ,pub
lie by Gen. Butler, was in the main correctly
reported ; that in his belief no Senator was
bribed tr) Vote for the' Presideut'g acquittal :
and that:3lr. Pomeroy was the' only Senator
in regard to whom there was a distinct pro
posal that his rote should be bought.
TIIE Albany Argu.tc states, no doubt by au
thority, that Mr. A. Belmont, Chairman of
the Democratic National Committee, "be
lieves that the principal olthe National debt
is payable in the ordinary legal tender cur
rency of the country, though --he probably
doubts if the Radicals will leave greenbacks
enough in the treasury to pay a single bond."
THE Tribune is a champion' of Grant, and,
on intimate terms, with Butler. Will it be
good enough to procure from the latter and
publish the sworn evidence, Which is inex
istence, that Grant teas picked up, not many
'weeks ago, drunk in the street, on Sunday,
near the Catholic Church, iii Washington?
If Mr: Greeley has any Arleta, about this in
cident, he can address Grant and - Butler for
further information.
VERY smart people have frequently tried
the experiment of raising a drowned person
front thebottom by firing cannon over the
stream... The Radical leaders last week tried
tfie same experiment to raise their party from
the "vasty deep" into which it had sunk, but
not a single answering ripple appeared upon
the surface of the popular current. The deep
waters remain — ell unmoved and the political
corpus doubtless will rest forever in its bed
of subterranean mud.
Tim Democracy of Michigan have planted
themselves fairly on the Pendleton platform.
Their resolution on the public debt is as fol
lows:
"Requlrtd, We piopose to have all Govern
ment bonds bear taxation equally with other
property we will maintain , the national
faith inviolate ; that all public debts shall be
honorably paid ; that the bonds, of the Fed
eral Government issued after• greenbacks
- were made legal tender shall be; paid in the
currency of the country, except when other
wise expressly provided by law ,or stipulated
in the bond." -
TILE St. Louis- Democrat (Datlical)
iuU-
Yuates that Senators Henders.ou, Fowler and
Doss would be lynched by their incensed
'Constituents; were they to return home. It
says : "Perhaps Ross can find a home _in
Nansas, and Fowler in Tennessee, but we
doubt it." "Is for Henderson," it adds,
•'Missouri will treat him as he deserver," and
St recommends to him a more "congenial
:residence Suppose New York and, New
Jersey should apply that rule to Morgan, and
Conklin, and Frelinghuysen, and Citttell,
'}hat would soon be the• condition of our
polities? No honest or 114,41-minded man
•souid hold official position.
Mn. R.A.Lcu W. Ntarrox, a broker in Nei'
York,was brought before the guano managers
of impeachment, and interrogated for hours
Butler. - - The private letters and telegrams
el Newton had been seized by order of But
ler. The witness was asked by Butler it he
lad not written a :certain letter to Mr.
Smythe; Collector of the port at New York,
and indicated the contents of the letter re
ferred to. Mr. Newton answered that halt.ad,
stud that he happened • to leave the letter on
the table in his room unfolded and that it
was stolen from there. - "Who stole it ?" in
quired But.l(:r. expect you did," respond
ed Newton. The witness Was put under ar
rest four tunes by Butler before he was dis
missed.
TILE dispatches informs as that Tharlbw
Weed, of New York, publishes a. card in his
paper—The Commercial Advertiser—over
ltis own signature, in Which ho distinctly
charges Senator Pomeroy, of Kansas, with
offering to sell his own and two other Radical
Totes to the President, for acquittal.- Sena
tors Nye awl Tipton ere, the two others men•
tinned as being accessible in. the market, al
though Weed does not charge that they were
cognizant of the proposition to tell them out.
.As the Butler-Bingham inquisition progress
es, it seems that they can not help stumbling
- upon facts more disgraceful - to themselves
and to their own partisans than to those
they are endeavoring ti blacken with their
,calumnies.
Ix a special dispate:ll from Washington,
printed in till) N. Y, Commercial Advertiser
( Rep.,) we read the following :
"The chief fact established by the Butler
investigation is that the Senate was so averse
to the revolutionary changes resulting from
the conviction ,of the President, that more
votes would have been fOrthcoming for ac
quittal if they had been necessary."
Does Ilia mean that Senators who were
ready to vote for acquittal did, nevertheless,
vote foa conviction ? If So, have they not
perjured themselves by voting against their
judgment? Such 'esscations do more to
damage publie, confi'denieln - the integrity of
the Senators who did not vrterTor acquittal
them all 13 en. Butler's attacieupoulltose who
did.'
