National Us publican AUUUetTA. OA. THURSDAY MORHIKO Maroh 5, 186S ~~- 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. From the Charleston News.J 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 longed to the Democratic party in its best 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. From the Wasuiogton Chronicle.] 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. From the Atlanta New Era ] Slate Constitutional Convention Atlanta.
