For PRESIDENT
Os the United-States:
ULYSSES S. GRANT.
The U. S. Semite.
The Senate consists of forty-three Re
publicans And ten Democratic Conserva
tives. By a provision of the Constitution, 1
“no person shall be convicted without the
concurrence of two-thirds of the members
present,” which, in the present case, would
be thirty-six; so that the Republicans
have enough votes ty insure the convic
tion of the President and seven votes to
spare.
“ Revolutionary."
The impeachment of Mr. Johnson is
called a revolutionary proceeding. Really,
there is a charming impudence in the
assertion. Here Mr. Johnson lias been
tearing about, like a mad bull in a china
shop, insulting Congress, insulting and
slandering the heroes of war, defying the
popular will, attempting to cram his policy
down the throats of twenty millions. ot
freemen, belying General Grant, mutilating
the dispatches of General Sheridan, vilify
ing Secretary Stanton, talking about a
Congress hanging on tho verge of the
government, kicking out of office men who
were appointed for their loyalty, encourag
ing mobs in Northern cities to resist laws
of Congress, until at last his passion has
involved him in a plain, open and defiant
violation of law. Then tho remedy pro
vided by the Constitution is appealed to,
and straightway Conservative old women
shriek that it is a revolutionary proceeding!
Would it be revolutionary to collar a
drunken loafer who would try to break up
a meeting by his rowdyism, and to shove
him out of doors? Should we denounce
the revolutionary policeman, who arrests
and locks up a madman for rushing through
Fourth street with a drawn knife, striking
at everybody in his way? Johnson is just
such a madman, and we have tolerated
him loDg enough. Congress is a tardy
policeman, who ought to have locked up
the revolutionary rioter months ago.— St.
Louis Democrat.

A GLANCE AT THE REALM OF
COTTON.
The recent rise in the price of cotton has
(generally been attributed to tho fact that
flie European stocks are light beyond prece
dent, and East India supplies have failed
beyond expectation; the American estimates
of production were nearly a half million
too high, and the spinners abroad and at
borne became alarmed and rushed into the
market to secure their working stocks. The
Mobile Register suggests that the causes
lie deeper. It doubts the stories of the
large dividends of British cotton-growing
companies, and intimates that the discovery
has been made by spinners and consumers
that the fabrics from tho short staple of
India are flimsy and wear badly. There is
also a report from highly respectable Eng
lish sources that the British spinners are
changing back their machinery for the use
of the long staple, having before changed
it for adaptation to the short. The Mobile
Iribune mentions that a distinguished gen
tleman of Alabama, who visited England
recently, says that the attempt to adapt ma
chinery to spinning short fibre from India is
a complete failure, and that they cannot
dispense with the American Ootton. A
recent commercial circular from a leading
Liverpool house notes the very small ship
ments of cotton from India on the water,
now nmountiDg to only eighty-seven thou
sand bales, against one hundred and thirty
one thousand bales last year and three hun
dred and ninety thousand bales the year
before. This has resulted in a strong current
of demand in East India cotton, which has
gained during the month fully as much as
American. The Egyptian crop, the receipts
of which, like the American, were much
less than was expected, shared in the gen
eral buoyancy. That of Brazil had not
advanced in the same proportion. The
cotton of the provinces of Maranham,
Brazil, is said to be little inferior to
oar Sea Island cotton, and that in the
valley of the Amazon to far surpass in
quality and length ol fabric the best that
can be raised in the valley of the Missis
sippi. But the trained labor requisite to
make this available is not to be had in
either of those regions. India can not
raise col ton comparable in quality 10 that
of America, and China is so densely popu
lated that all its soil is necessary to feed
and ciothe its own population. These
facts are fall of encouragement for the
future of cotton planting in the Southern
States.
Correspondence of the Philadelphia Press.
LET IE It FROM “ OCCASIONAL,"
Washington, Feb. 27, 1868.
'1 ne influences against impeachment are
precisely the same that originated the re
bellion. In Maryland and Kentucky, the
men who fought against the old flag are
doing more mischief with their votes than
they ever did with their swords. Failing
to carry these States out of the Union,
they come back and practically disfran
chise the friends of the Union.
But this is not all. Thousands of ex
rebels arc to be found in the old free States,
especially in New York city, Indiana, Kan
sas, Missouri, and Ohio. Armed with An
drew Johnson’s pardon, they operate
against the Republicans in every imagina
ble way—by individual appeals, by articles
in the newspapers, and not unfrequently
by public lectures. Finding in every city
and town congenial spirits to receive them
with open arms, they disseminate the most
poisonous doctrines. Encouraged by such
partisans ns Jeremiah 8. Black and George
W. Woodward of Pennsylvania, Brooks of
New York, Parker of New Jersey, Henry
Clay Dean of lowa, Brick Pomeroy of
Wisconsin, Vallundigliam and Pendleton
of Ohio, these rebels have come to believe
that their cause is really the best, and that
they deserve to lie generously rewarded
and gruteiully remembered.
But if anybody wants an argument in
favor of impeachment, ho has only to visit
Washington and confer with the Southern
Union men now hero in largo numbers.
They include natives of the South and
many old Democrats. You should hear of
their sufferings in consequence of Andrew
Johnson’s treachery, it is unnecessary to
recapitulate their sad and terrible story ;
but how any Northern man who professes
to love his country, and who believed the
war for the maintenance of the Union was
just, can stand forth in opposition to the
impeachment of tho kadorof the now attack
upon our liberties, pass** my oomprehon-
White conversing with a highly distin
guished Southern gontleman yesterday
afternoon, a native of Georgia, 1 eould not
restrain the wish that what he said to mo
could bo hoard by the Democrats of tho old
Ho said : “The removal of Andrew John
son would be lifting from the Southern
people a greater load than any under which
they have ever suffered. We are like meu
struggling with a fiend—our steps nro
watched, our words noted, our lives threat
enod, our labor plundered, our best mon
slandered, our great improvements retarded,
our trieuds kept uwav, our brethren driven
off—all because Andrew Johnson pardons,
pays, and pushes on our enemies. We
shall make Georgia a Republican State by
a tremendous vote, but no tongue can tell
what we have had to enduro to accomplish
it, and yet we are better off than our breth
ren of Mississippi, Texas, aud Louisiana.
In the first, the reign of terror is more
severe than it ever was during the rebel
lion, while General Ilanooek, excited to his
bad work by Andrew Johnson, refuses to
arrest it. Give us a Republican in the Presi
dential Chair, and wo shall require nothing
from Congress. Millions will be immedi
ately saved to the public treasury, and there
will be an instant submission on the part of
the public enemies. All that is needed to
make the South bloom like a garden is to
notify the emiaraut and the capitalist that
they will be protected by the laws. 1 be

days, voted lor James Buchanan in 1856,
and for John C. Breckinridge in 1860; but
jttheu I realized that the overthrow of the
Democratic party was simply to prepare the
way for the rebellion, 1 took my stand, and
nott, regretting the dr.lusion under which I
labored, I am resolved to do all I can to re
pair my mistake.”
And it is with a full knowledge of such
facts (facts not new, however powerfully
stated by my Southern friend), that tho
whole Democratic party is now rallied to
maintain in tho Presidency the author of
all those wrongs. There is not an intelli
gent votor in the North that will not admit,
jit least to himself that the moment An
drew Johnson is returned to- liis original
obscurity he will not only lose tho respect
of the politicians that have been using him,
but every great interest will be instantly
invigorated.
In that proud hour, as we behold the
mighty iigoncies of civilization valuntarily
marshalling themselves to the restoration
of business, North and South, we shall
stand amazed at the tremendous mischief
wrought by one wicked man in the. Presi
dency, ana at tho toleration of the Ameri
can people in allowing him to remain there
so long. Occasional.

ENGLISH POLITICAL CHANGES.
Continued ill health, rendering him in
capable of being constantly at the helm,
has compelled the EarJ. of Derby to retire
from the high office of Prime Minister of
England, which, for the third time, beheld
since June, 1806. Perhaps, too, having
nearly completed the “three score years
and ten” which the Psalmist declared was
the average term of human existence, he
thought it well that no one could say of
him—
“ Superfluous lags tho veteran on tho stage.”
It was as plain Mr. Stanley (grandson of
the twelfth Early of Derby, whose second
wife was Miss Farrell, the actress), that
the late head of the British Government
achieved his parliamentary reputation.
One and twenty years ago, Bulwer (in
“ The New Tinion”) thus rapidly charac
terized him as 3!
The brilliant chief, irregularly great,
Frank, haughty, rash—tho ltupcrt of Debate !
Nor gout, nor toil, his freshness can destroy,
And Time still leaves all Eton in tho boy—
Fir<t in the class, and keenest in the ring.
Ho raps like Gladstone, and he fights like
Spring!”
Lord Derby, who entered the House of
Commons in 1822. has had great parlia
mentary experience. His powerful elo
quence, high attainments, hereditary con
nections, lofty status, and great wealth,
recommended him to office before ho was
thirty. Since then he has been Irish Sec
retary, Colouial Secretary, and Prime
Minister—filling the last office thrice. His
successor is the author of “ Vivian Gray,”
a brilliant political novel, the first part of
which appeared over forty-three years ago;
soon after which ho was editor of a daily
newspaper in London. It was doubtful
whether Mr. Disraeli would succeed Lord
Derby as virtual ruler of the British Em
pire, but his lordship, who had placed him
in office as Chancellor of the Exchequer
and ministerial leader of the House of
Commons m 1852, in 1853, aud in 1866,
loyally, adhered to him to the end, and it
may be taken for grante i that to Lord
Derby’s recommendation, being his last
ministerial duty to his sovereign, Mr.
Disraeli owes his being placed on the
highest political elevation, as Prime
Minister. Had Lord Stanley not been
his own son, peihaps Lord Derby
might have advised Queen Victoria to
appoint him. Had she done so, it is not
improbable that Mr. Disrteli, who cer
tain]] has worked earnestly, ably, and
successfully to rebuild the enfeebled and
disunited Tory party, would have retired
from office, confident that without him any
Tory Ministry must fall to pieces. Lord
Stanley, who is twenty one years younger
than Mr. Disraeli, cau afford to wait for a
few years for the reversion of the highest
office in the Stnte, and tho present Ministry,
with Disucli at its head, may he aide to
weather the storm until next year, when a
new House of Commons, elected under the
reform hill of 1867, will have to decide tho
question In his sixty-third year,after thirty
one yei rs of Parliamentary service, Benja
min Disradi is Prime Minister of England.
He was thirty-two when, a mere adven
turer, chiefly noted, outside of his admitted
ability as a man of letters, for iris shifting
politics, he entered the House of Commons.
Soon dfter 1m married prosperously, and
even happily, though lie was only six years
old when his wife took her first husband.
He lias so steadily advanced until he became
a powei in the State, (or rather in the Tory
party) . that each time of Lord Derby’s
becoming Premier, he took Mr Disraeli into
his Cabinet as Minister of Finance, As
yet we do not know whether Mr. Disraeli
will continue Chancellor of the Exchequer,
also holding tho superior office of First
Lord of the Treasury. William Pitt,
George Canning, and Robert Peel, held
both offices at once. The salary of either
is £5,000 a year, of both it is £7,500. but
the joint duties are so onerous that perhaps
Mr. Disraeli will not undertake them. Sir
Stafford Nortlicotc, now Secretary for
India, and formerly Financial Secretary of
tho Treasury, will probably become Chan
cellor of the Exchequer, should it bocomo
vacant.
Mr. Disraeli may effpeot to bo scornfully
treated by some of bis own parly (as Mr.
Canning was in 1827) because ho has
sprung from the ranks. Tho affectation of
tneir despising him ns n parvenu is not
likely to trouble him much or long.
Wo have considered his past earcor, uud
arc impressed with the belief thut, as ho
showed last year, Mr. Disraeli is 11 Man of
Progress. If he can persuade the British
nation into believing this, a brilliant career
as Prime Minister may be predicted for
him.

Atlanta, Ga., February 12, 1868.
I have been a hopeless invalid for tho weary
space of ten or twelve years, laboring under a
combination of dreadful diseases, which havo long
sinoe been pronounced INCURABLE. I had of
late grown rapidly worse, until three days since
I was brongbt to this city on a bod, being en
tirely unable to sit np, for the purpose of consult
ing the far-famed Prof. ROBERTS. Afer the
first treatment, which was only a few minutes, I
was free of all pain and able to walk anywhere,
and to-day I feel so well and strong I can scarce
ly realize that I am the same being who was so
feeblo and suffering so much three days since. I
can never express my heartfelt gratitude to the
man whose wonderful skill lyis thus relieved me
of so much inexpressible suffering. May God
