Col. JACOB M. CAMPBELL,

IT is already made cleai by witnesses
examined before the impeachment court,
that Andrew Johnson intended to takd
- possession -of—the—War—Department by
force of arms._
IMPEACHMENT Will be something more
than a mere test of the strength of our
institutions:- They have been through
much more severe tests already, and
have survived them triumphantly. It
Will be a much needed' restraint upoit
the rapidly growing power, prestige and
influence of the President. It may, per
haps, be a long time before=exaetly such
things may o,c,cur as will render impeach •
men) --necessarY--on—the-one-L-h and ,-
practicable on-:the other. :Ilut the ex
ample to be made of Johnson must un
doubtedly cut down the 'arbitrary tone
that v has latterly become too common
with our Presidents, and teach them how
much they , depend, after all, upon the
people.
In view - of the flauds - developed - in the
Senatorial contested election case just
concluded, and- of the frauds pioven in
the contested election cases in PliiladAl-
Phia and of the ilia that the immense"
Democratic vote. in the Luzern's, and
SChuylkill mining distficts, is now known
to have been oast on falsi3 - naturalization
papers, is it pot a piece of impudmice in
Judge Shorewood -to remain_ on._the_Sn 7
preme Berieh ? There is not a doubt that
Judge Williams was fairly clectod i -tha
he had a majority bf . the legal ,vote cast,
and that he.shOtild now be ou the Beach
- of - tiro - Supreme-Court. If George. Shore
wood is the man of honor he claimed to
be; he alioild blush' to - hold a - place
which nine out of every ten honest men
in the State believe. was secured • for him
by the frauds of his partizan supporters.
IF the New Jersey Legislature could
be supposed to be capable of shame, we
should congratulate ourselves on the flat
rejection which its communication in
forming Congress of the withdrawal of
its consent to the Constitutional A&end
ment met With in the House recently. It
is not_often that the House of Represen
tatives declares the resolutions of a State
Legislature " disrespectful to the House
41)d scandalous in character." But then,
no infamy_cOuld be heaped upon_the_New
Jersey Democracy - to equal — tliat which
it drew upon itself in the repeal of the
amendment.
THERE nreiurface indications, as the
oil men, say, in favor of• Gen. McClellan
as the Presidential candidate 0r the Dem
ocrats. Belmont, who is a power in the
premises, is said to be for him, and the
general muddle into which the party is
getting deepereveiy day, favor the plan
which is said to be on foot for bringing
him out—at the right moment, of course.
In this corineetion, it" is said that the
health of Mrs. McClellan is
,not expected
to getbetter for two or three months yet,
and it 'is said, furthermore; that it ban,
been considerably affected by the designs
attributed to _Belmont and others, - for
placing the General on the Presidential
traok. •
Tn New York Ti:Ebune says c "We
have assurances from Washington that
Gen. Grant finds it not inconsistent with
his duty as a soldier
~to announce it as
his opinion that the only holie for the
peace of the country is the success of
the impending Impeachment trial. He
feels. that national security demands the
removal -of tho Presiddnt. ff,the : trinl
should fail, the people can:Only .expeot
more assumptions . of power, and a more
aefermined resistance of law. When the
General of our armies nntertains this
convietitin there is. no room - for doubt av_
to the duty of the Senate, The loyal na
tion demands the President's removal.''

Deiliticr4tia Fraud Overthrown
.The 'purity of the ballot-box is always
regarded as the most important safe
guard ofßepublican institutions. And
yet ~wo find th — e - Democratic' party ever
ready to commit fiauds of the most afro 7
cious lcind. The late case of Robinson:
-vs. Shugart revealed a systenioEporruP,
tion, and • fraud in the' late ° campaigd
wbrch is truly startling. Thp--Twenty
first Senatorial District, composed of a
uumbor:of-counties,-was the soene of this_
outrage.. : ..By...the illegal votes there east;
Mr. Shugart, the. Ddinif'Cilitia Carididate,
was 'declared . y the - jtidgEs thO,
duly. elected Senator.: 'Dui-our 'Monde,
being cognizant of the frauds
ed, determined to contest his seat, arid,
accordingly; soon after the meeting-Of
ttio`Legislature,a.-cOMMitie'e wits appoint-.
ed to investigate and report, upon the
facts of the case.. From the 9th day of
January until Friday of last - Week, has
that committee been en
gaged in the discharge of its duty. This
certainly, was the: longest and most re
markable contested election.case in the
history of our State polities. We 'are,in.
formed that some. three hundred 'and
eighty. witnesses were examined, besides
an immense amountof record testimony.

— w clip the following brief history of the
case
' The most -- Material -and important
ground-of-contest -was--tho --fraud- perpe
trated at Philipsburg, in Centre county,
. .
by the importation of foreigners. A large=
nutnber of Irielilaborers;who were wbrk
big, On a - railroad in the:adjoining - COW'
ty, were'bffught oVer the line about ton
days before the election, and quartered
? ii
in Philips urg, in the hotels, where they
were kept ntiT the fraud wits "consum
mated, wl en thexieturned to their work
in the other county. _ They were unnat
uralized foreigners, and were led ,up --
to the polls on the day of the. eke
-tient:like so-many-sheep to the-sharnbles.
Forged papers were procured - ,in Luzern°
county, where, it was proved, they were
lying about loose; bearing*the seal of
the court and signed by M. I. Philbin,
prothonotary. They were sent up by "a
lawyer"- ' from Philadelphia,, put in the
hands of one Mark Leddy, a "boss" on
the
,railroad, and after-being soaked in
(toffee to gibe them the appeatance'olage, -
th'C'y were - diltributed to the men to pro
duce at the pidls as the evidence of their
right to vote. The poor dupes were led
up, one after another, - by the Irish"boss'i

specially prepared for the purpose:by ono

°jure themselves by swearing to their pa
pers-and residence,- in order- to_ vote the
Democratic ticket. A more gross _and
infauibus - frandr was never perpetrated in
the-Conimonwealth. - ~.,. - •
A sotin as it was known that the deo - -
would - bec - Onfestedi - the - auttiors and
perpetrators of this -iniquity - attempted
to bribe the most important witness to
leave the State, employing for this pur
pose a Catholic prie . st named Tracy, who
was produced on the stand and testified
. that after corresponding xvith he Chair
man of the Democratic State - Central
Committee, he paid the witness $5OO to
leave the State and remain absent until
. the investigation was over. Another wit
ness,"narned Jones, after he was subpce.:
mica by the Sergeant-at-Arms, was hid
den away in a stable, and his food car
ried to him daily from the hotel Where a
majority of the Irishmen had been quar
tered. Still another witness, after he
was actually on his way, was ql_ipplli,c;
irthr
o io car, From the very presence of
the officer, by one of the contractors,
who had under his control, the• wretched
instruments of the fraud. Our readers
will - remember; - that another wit ness - ; df
-
ter he testified before the committee, was
murdered in cold blood while on his re
turn home. Fraud, perjury, bribery and
murder—all legitimate congequenees of
the tactics of the Democratic State Ceti
trSl Committee.. What a fearful respon
sibility rests upon the shoulders' of the
rh - Cin or men Who Made the Contract for
enough votes to carry the Twenty-first
Senatorial District'!
Before, and'cluring, and, alter the trial,
every means' were resorted to by the De-
Mousey to prev e nt ,the truth being
brought "tolight. When all • other cf
fortsfailed, they brought 'enormous sums
here and attempted tcAamptir with_ the
committee.' The tongiie of 'rumor was
busy with the names of Republican mem
' bas. of the committee. Professional
borers of the Deruocratic' stamp,'
have infested and disgraced the Capitol
for years, were insidiously whispering b
that 'money would secure the sitting
Member in his seat in the face of all:the
evidence of prime, fraud and iniquity.
But they counted Without their - host, and
the result fully vindicates the members
of 'the committee, showing that,they

that, " for some time past, the members

in that room, consisting of .singing, (16-
clamation, re. ; that, on the evening' of
the .30th of March they invited some, of
.the other members of the same troop to:
attend their 'performance; that, after re
treat, when the non-commissioned officer
in charge stepped out, one of the re
cruits, named Patrick, told his audience,
consisting of thirty.or forty men, that he
-had a-list-ofull-the-Members-of-K_Troup
in his hand, that he wished to draw up"
a - petition to 9etin. Grier asking for more
rations, and to COVAIr up this proceedifig,
for four the non-commissioned officer
should return and overbear them, he
stated that everyone called by name who
wanted more rations shoul danswer, when
asked if a Johnson man,- yes. Conse
quently all did.so. There were no poli,

The ke:shlt in Connecticut
That the' DeinocFacy Should: carry 'the
State of Connecticut upon the vote for State
Officers was almost everywhere • conceded.
Tho fight, in.the main, was made upon the
election of members to the two Houses of
tho Legislature ; 'and out of this contest tho
Republicans come gloriously victorious.—
Last year'Mr. English received almost one
thoUsan4 majority for Governor, wbilo, we
had :ono majority in the State Senate and
ton in the House. This year, English's
-majority in'thMStatexill reach nearly Ili..
teen hundred, while wo . wiil have a majority
of three in the Senate,' and at least thirty in
the House. This most effectually sands the
Hon. James Dixon,• the ; _,_tireseq,United
States Senator from that - State, into perliet
nuts retirement and• obliviati,. whore, with
his older friMi, the 'aposiate'ProSidont, ho
will livii - only to curse the day ho turned his
back.urion-tho party-which elected him, and
deserted the immutable principles .of right
and - justice upon which that great party is
'founded,.
To persons who aro unacquainted with the
manner in which elections aro conducted in
portions of that State, it 'may seem. strange
that it should.go Democratic oven for State
officers; but to any ono ;who_ has o_ver.atood
liy the polls there and seen the imported
vote that is brought into many of the' larger
cities from Now York and elsewhere,'it is
no mistery.. And. especially is this demon

The Pittsburgh' Gazette of Monday
last has the following timely article on
the impeaoliment question : •
- The Managers, having presented their
inidenee.in-chief, rested' their --case out
Saturday, and await the deVeloPMent; by.' i
the President's counsel, of his defense.
'' - /Kt"ibiirliOirit - itis - proper to remark that
the clear. and conclusive testimony fol•
the presentation, its ample coirobora:
tion of the, - Chai•ges in the • respeotive
Articles, and the; effective promptitude
with which this evidence bas.been fait
all,,reflect the highest credit upon
the care with which the Managers have
prepared- their case . , and the remarks.
ble ability and success with which-this
trial has thus far been conducted. •
A delay until Tliiirsday . has, been
granted - hy thMSenate to'the counsel for
the defense, who have asked this post-.
penement s in order - that their prepara
tions may be - completed. They intimate
that they have much oral testimony to
introduce; but it is quite possible that
their intentions in this respect may ; not
be realized. On the contrary; the indi
cations are, at this 'Writing, that Mr.
JOHNSON is to be.derended, not upon any
systematic gscePtions to the proof which
has . been offered, but upon the
'question of his guilt or innocence of
im
peachable offenses. All the' evidence
being substantially admitted, his coun t
se' evidently will- not seriously expect to
rely upon any large amount of,rebutting
proof; Th — ey — the — e e'ffeeirv—e-pt4—eriti
thaeregard of the case as made by the
prosecution. Their answer foreshad,
owed sulastantially the tactics which
are to nale j they. It is rfotAmlikaly
that they may forbear anything like a.
general examination of witnesses. This
--will - not preclude more or less . pro'ef to be
offered'in defense, - on the collateral points,
but, having aliettly chosen to make the
President's case ode 'of confession and
avoidance rather than a denial of fapts;
we may expect to see them so +conducting
,it to_its Conclusion. Taking the charges
as tried, with the proof alrady submit-
Jed, they will deny all guilty intent, and
endeavor to clear the accused by argu
ments upon legal points and constitu
tional questions. It would not surprise
us if this should be the suni - of the real
defense.
Questions of fact submitted to the
judgment .of 'that Senate can result, as
they well know, in, but little benefit to
the accused. In arguments upon the
law points, in nice distinctions, in direct
assaults upon the constitutional validity.
of the Congressional enactments which.
they confess that they 'have disregarde4
in adroit but bold assumptions as to the
duty of the Executive and in . :plausible
dethictions from the political and judicial
experience of the government, in which
they will.cla!iin to discover precedents for
the President's acts—this is the line in..
whidh his counsel will aim to reach the
judicial prepossessions of Mr. Chase, and
to bewilder. and seduCe a_few Republican
Sdnators into such doubt< as may end in
a vote for acquittal: The-game will be

whatever - as to.thoj decision of the Senate
-on these pointsT* -- They-will--hold,-as__to
any citizen, and most of all as to the Ex
ecutive, that "all laws aro binding, con
stitutional or not, until set aside by the
proper tribunal." They will deny the
right, either of the Executive or of any
Legislative department of the govern
ment to assume that function of the in
terpretation of laws whieh belongs only
to the Judiciary. •And-theirverdict *ill
accord with the decision. The. entire
body of the Democratic Senators, *lad
. ing -the President's son-in law, will vote
-finally-for his acquittal, as upon every
incidental issue, they have voted solidly
in his interest. The Republican Sena
tors, so many of whom have voted upon
these interlocutory questions irrespective
.of.party affiliations,. will find no difficulty
-in deciding, the ultimate issues with the

would be supposed that both political par

LOCUST YEAR.-- 7 ThO present year,
1868; is what is known as Locust year in
Eastern Pennsylvania. These insects make
their appearance regularly (ivory .4eventeon

The GROWING CROPS.—From reports
gleaned from our exchanges, we find that
the wheat and- rye have bosh but littlesdiim
iiged by the severe weather of the past win
ter. The reason is- that the •grain has been
- coveted - with snow, and where not so pro
tected, it "has 'remained constantly frozen,
instead Of being subjected to alternate freezs
ing and thawing, which is so injurious to it.
The clover looks as favorable as the wheat,
and has as yet suffered little or 'no injury
from being drawn out of the ground.' Tho
worst effects of winter ate to be found in the
young -orchards, whore the mieW havo 00-

question which comes up before the parties
concornod, in nearly every transfer-of tho

ty by stipulating in the conditions of sale
whether the buyer or, seller shall pay the

C3hcietor, has-been proinpted by a corrospon

sulting a law'yor and two real estate agents,
it has given , their opinions. Tho . lawyer
says that tho seller. pays for the stamps un
less thor2 is eon agreement to tho contrary.

vorsel practice is that the purchaser pays for
the deed. The seller furnilhes the, stamp's
