BATUKDAY MORNING May 9. MM
For PRESIDENT
Or tub United Statks:
ULYSSES S, tIRAXT,
IMPE A OHM ENT.
It appears that the decision of this great
■mention will take place on Tuesday ne*t,
so say the dispatches of yesterday morning.
The trial has liew conducted with great
fairness and impartiality, and although the
country may have become impatient at the
waste of time consumed in speech-making,
the delay cannot l>e considered unprofita
ble. The subject has been discussed fully,
as it should have been, for the proceedings
in this case must establish precedents for
all future time.
One of the most remarkable features of
this trial is the perfect calmness and
quietude with which it has been received
by the people. Involving, as it does,
tremendous interests and consequences, it
would not have l>een strange if serious
agitation should have grown out of it.
At the commencement of the proceedings
some threats of resistance were made, but
they resulted in nothing. So far, the trial
has proceeded with as little popular dis
order as any common criminal proceeding.
As there has been no trouble so far, so there
will be none hereafter. If convicted, Mr.
Johnson will retire from office quietly, and
with as little commotion will his successor
reign in his stead. Perhaps if Mr. John
son bad been a more popular man, the
event would have been different, blit his
course has tended to alienate his friends
of both political parties, until now there is
no considerable portion of the people who
will risk anything in bis cause.
There were those who expected Mr.
Johnson to resist Congress by force of arms,
and who still entertain some ill founded
hopes that his conviction will bring about
civil war. With such men the wish is
father to the thought. Those iutcrests of
the country which arc most sensitive to
political change and are most affected by
the prospect of a disturbance of order,
have taken no alarm at impeachment, and
endure the probabilities of conviction with
equal equanimity.
The money market is flic barometer of
changes in the political atmosphere. It
now gives no premonition of a coming
storm, aud has. from the commencement of
the proceedings, remained remarkably nn
disturlied.
As to the prospects of conviction, there
seems to be considerable doubt, gome
Senators have not declared themselves, and
some Republicans are known to be com
mitted against it. The well informed editor
of the New York Sun appears to think
acquittal not improbable, and we refer our
readers to his article, in another column,
for his calculation of the chances.
PRAISING THE WRONG MAN.
The speech of Mr. Hearts, counsel for
the President, is winning universal com
mendation from the Democratic papers.
They do not seem to Ik; aware that Mr.
Evarts is a Radical, the only Republican
among the President's counsel, or tbej
would not so praise him. Mr. Evarts
was selected by the President at the sug
gestion of Judge Black, who counselled
the President that one of the lawyers
ought to be of the same political opinions
as the majority of the Senate. Mr. Evarts
gets a heavy fee for his services, and ought
to have it, for he has to praise and defend
a man w hom he despises.
THE MILITARY BOARD.
The Board for the investigation of frauds
in the recent election are now in session in
Atlanta. All persons who are cognizant
of such frauds, committed by either Re
publicans or Democrats, should make affi
davit to the fact, and forward their state
ment to the Assistant Adjutant General of
the Third Military District, Atlanta, by
whom they will be laid before the Board,
for its examination and decision.
Mr. Dlsraeli and Judaism.—The Gui
don Jtmtsh Chronicle has the following
remarks in reference to the new Premier
and Judaism:
There seems, indeed, to be a singular
mistake as to the relation of Disraeli to
Judaism. Some Jews censure him as an
apostate, and urge his apostaey as an
instance of tergiversation. Some Christians
scoff at him as a Jew, with n singular disre
gard of all they owe to the Hebrew race.
Now, the fnet is that, in plain English,
Disraeli is neither an apostate nor a Jew.
lie was born of Hebrew parents. His father,
Isaac Disraeli, the author, and his mother, a
seoin of the Basevis, were members of
Sephardim Jewish families. His grandfather
and grandmother, indeed, rest in the Portu
guese cemetery at Mile End. Benj. Disraeli
was admitted into the communion of Israel,
but his father, thinking fit to quarrel with
his synagogue, failed to teach his child
Judaism. One day Rogers, the celebrated
banker poet, happening to visit at Isaac
Disraeli’s house, ut Hackney, when Benja
min was five or six years old, and regretting
to find so intelligent n youth without religious
instruction, took him to Hacknev church,
from this event dales his absolute and
complete severance from the Jewish commu
mon. He became a Christian, and a r»re»t
genius was lost to us,

Losses »y Doom—Colonel Horace Cap
ron, Commissioner of Agriculture, is de
cidedly down on dogs. From reliable data,
he estimates that there are seven millions
of these “useless animals'’ in the United
States, the maintenance of which involves
an annual expenditure of fifty millions in
greenbacks. In his recent report, lie states
that, in 1860, at least eight hundred thou
sand sheep wero either killed or injured by
these curs of low degree. In consequence,
he has no patience with Tray, Blanche, or
Sweetheart.

Postpossmimt or tuk Mkstixu or the
Leoisi-aturk, —General Canby, yesterday,
issued an order postponing the meeting of
the Legislature of this Htate, which was
fixed by the late Convention for tho 12th

United Htates shall have approved the Con
stitution under which it was elected. No
reasons assigned.— O/tar let ton Courier.
PROSCRIPTION.
We copy the following article from the
JVe.’.t «<■ Messenger, published at Katonton,
da., and we commend it to the penteal of
our readers, who will, no doubt, be as much
surprised as we were to find so sensible and
clever aud high toned houlimeiits in the
columns of a nuuh ru so called Democratic
paper. Head it :
Oh that the politicians would consent for
the people to have restl Tor, say what you
please, gloss the matter over us vou may, it
is the fault of had, ambitious leaders, on
both sides, North and South, that we are
not to-day reconstructed, and enjoying the
blessings of peace and prosperity. The
;xo;Jr at the South earnestly dosiro quiet,
that they may push their industrial pursuits
and win back, at as early a day us possible,
part of the fortunes they have lost. The
people of the North, I verily believe, are
willing, if not anxious, that peace and stabil
ity shall once more reign in the South, so
that the cotton planters may increase the
cultivation of their staple, make money lor
themselres, and, ns a natural consequence
contribute still more than they now do to the
wealth of the Northern people, who are the
nmnulaclurers, the fa' tors and the carriers.
Hut oh ! these political leaders ! These
rule-ar-ruin men! These men in power,
anxious to keep up their party organiza
tions, in order that they may remain in
power! These men out of power, raving
mad because they air out, and straining
every nerve to contrive some means by
which they may come into power !—and
both classes utterly unscrupulous with re
gard to instrument ilities ; entirely regard
less of the wishes anil interests of the
people, with whose very existence as a nation
they are trilling ; for whose life blood they
are gambling, with the wicked recklessness
of ruined, abandoned gamesters! These
“old men of the sea!”—how are we to be
relieved of their crushing weight? “Who
shall deliver us from the body of this
death ?”
It is an old, aud oil-repeated tale, that of
a people suffering from the dissensions of
their rules; but never, perhaps, was there a
more notable instance of it, than that
attorded bv the American people, nt the
present time. In Washington, we have the
President on oue hand, and Cougress on the
other, each with a plan ol reconstruction for
the South, each anxious to get us back into
the Union (provided we will give reasonable
assurance that we will “vote right' 1 in the
next Presidential election), but both un
compromisingly hostile to any plan but their
own. All over the North, we witness the
same spectacle. The Democratic leaders
are eager to welcome us buck, not so much
to the Union, a* to the folds ol the Demo
cratic parly ; the Radical leaders are ready
to enrol us in the ranks of their political
organization : but both, if they cannot feel
assured that we will help them to attain or
maintain power, are willing for us to remain
as conquered provinces forever. In the
name of Heaven, how can we belong to
both parties? For the sake of common hu
manity, gentlen en, tight it out between yen,
and let us know the conclusion at which you
have arrived !--what we must do!
liut worse than all we have bitterness,
strife and proscription among ourselves nt
the South. Wo have those among us who
are unwilling that their fellow citizens shall
exercise oue ol the most common rights of
freemen—that of judging for themselves
the policy of a proposed measure. We have
the sweeping assertion that every white man
who votes for the Constitution framed in
I Atlanta, “has got his own consent to bo
corrupt—has been bought—ought to be sent
to the penitentiary.’’ It matters not what
may be the motive ; how much a man may
be influenced by an ardent, longing desire
to see his native land once more peaceful
and prosperous ; however honestly he may
be (and the question whether or not the
Constitution is good or bad, is not now
under consideration; but the point is,
whether or not we are to enjoy freedom of
opinion ; and 1 will say. in continuation of
this parenthesis, that i .lid not vote for the
Atlanta Constitution) no matter what the
circumstances be ; every white man who
votes for the Constitution is to be classed
with condemned felons.
Perhaps the poor, maimed soldier, who
Las fought under the stars and bars during
the whole of our gallant struggle for n
separate government, now a cripple for
life, scarcely able to earn a subsistence,
seeing bis banner ‘ lulled and weary,’’ and
his last hope of an independent South gone,
hobbles up to the polls—it may bo in bis
simplicity and ignorance, hut certainly in
the honesty and sincerity attested by his
scars—and casts bis vote for the Constitu
tion, thinking it the best he can do, but to
be told by the strong and pampered son of
wealth', who never experienced the hard
ships and privations of war—who never
slept on the frozen ground, or knew the
gnawing pangs of hunger; who, even
during the war, reposed on beds of down,
and feasted on what, to the soldier, would
have seemed the rarest luxuries ; who, in
deed, so far as personal convenience and
comfort are concerned, hardly felt the throes
of the death struggle waged for four long,
dark years--ihe xoldier of .secession to be
told by such as these that, if he dares to
disagree with them, he deserves the con
vict’s cell ! Presumption, arrogance, inso
lence, ye can no farther go!
It is scarcely necessary to notice the
minor threats of social ostracism, etc , ful
urinated against those who differ in opinion
from these immaculate speakers and editors,
for they all sink into insignificance, com
pared with the brutal language quoted
above. Do these men imagine they have
convinced any one by their abuse? Jait
thus they expect to influence freeborn
.Southerners ? I venture the assertion that
very few minds have been persuaded by
them, though many timid spirits, and feeble
intellects may, and probably have been,
frujhtenid into uapiiesencc. Never have I
known such a system of bullying and brow
beating as that pursued in the late canvass
(without physical force, I admit), and if, we
allow ourselves to be overawed by presum
ing politicians, however able they may be,
then lire wo indeed in n fair way never to
regain our independence. To the superior
numbers of the North wo have been com
pelled to yield -but, open to conviction by
argument and reason, us we should and
will always ho, let us not bow our necks to
the yoke of those who seek to overcome us
by violence and vindictiveness -minus
power. Neither let us yield ourselves to
the guidance of those whose wild and un
controlled passions render them unlit to he
the counsellors of an intelligent people.
But proscription and stubborn news, here nt
the Booth, us well ns at ilia North, is hy no
means, i unfilled to the IVmoeiats. The
Radicals have, in their ranks, some whose
hatred of everything anti Radical is equalled
only by that of the fiends ol hell; whose
malignity towards everything conservative,
whose jacobinism, and incendiarism deserve
the execration of nil good men, and the
severest punishment that society can inflict
Oil those who plot against its safety— aye, its
very existence.
I lie limits ol a single nrliele are imoil
licieut for the proper discussion of this part
of my subject. The space already taken up
warns me not to venturi) into detail on this
point; and i must reserve what else is to
be said for future occasions. In conclusion,
1 know tlmt I will meet with a hearty re
sponse from the heart of every good man,
when 1 again exclaim, Oh! that the /nditi
dans would let us have rest. Horatio,
From ths New York Bun.
IMPEACHMENT PROSPECTS
Thera are now fifty four members of the
Senate. Forty three are Republicans and
eleven Democrats. To convict the President
will require the votes of two thirds ofjjiosc
present at the time the question is finally
decided. If every Senator should then be
in attendance, or if one or two only should
be absent, the two thirds will be thirty six.
If tbreo should happen to bo absent, it will
take thirty four to make the two thirds.
Every Senator, however, is now in Washing
ton, and though somo of them have been
temporarily disabled by sickness since the
trial began, wo believe they are new all in
such health that they can be in their places.
In calculating the probable result of the
trial, we must first remember that Mr. Wade
will not vote, but will doubtless be away
from the Senate chamber when the vote is
taken. This is understood to be his de
termination, and his abstinence from voting
during the progress of the trial shows tint
he deems it more proper not to take an activo
part in proceedings in which he has so great
a personal interest. If ho is the only
Senator absent, however, or if but two are
absent, the number requisite to make up
two thirds will still be thirty six, just as if
all were present and voted.
If each Senator were convinced that the
President is guilty by the considerations
which have convinced the Republican party
in general, so that the 43 Republicans
would all be sure to vote together, there
would be no doubt as to the result. Mr.
Johnson would at once he convicted and
turned out of office. Rut it is generally
understood and commonly reported that
there are several gentlemen who do not
share the opinion which certainly prevails
among Republicans throughout the country,
and which ig believed to prevail with the
majority in the Senate. Not that they are
more independent of party control or more
conscientious than the others ; hut they have
their own way of viewing every subject;
and, either bocauso they have kept their
impressions respecting the trial prudently
to themselves; or because they have impru
deutly expressed a leaning in Mr. Johnson’s
favor, they have come to be classed as doubt
ful. Indeed, it is no secret that betting
men, who risk money upon the chauce of
every event, the most solemn as well as the
most frivilous, lay wagers now that theso
gentlemen will vote one way, and now that
they will vote the other. Among them are
Mr. Anthony, of Rhode Island; Mr.
Edmunds, of Vermont; Mr. Fessenden, of
Maine; Mr. Fowler, of Tennessee; Mr.
Grimes, of Iowa; Mr. Henderson, of
Missouri; Mr. Ross, of Kansas ; Mr. Sher
man, of Ohio; and Mr. Van Winkle and
Mr. Willey, of West Virginia.
Possibly one or twoothers may, at various
times, have been included in the list, but we
believe these are all who are now counted as
belonging to it. It seven of these ten gen
tlemen should vote for acquittal, aud if all
tho Democrats should vote that way—and
we are sorry to say that no one has paid any
of them the compliment as classing them as
doubtful —why, in that event, Mr. Johnson
will he acquitted. If, however, lour of the
doubtful Republicans should vote with tho
body of their colleagues for conviction, that
would suffice to condemn the accused. Or
if, at the final vote, three of them should be
absent from the Senate chamber in addition
to Mr. Wade, reducing the two thirds to only
thirty tour, and two should then vote for
conviction, the necessary majority would be
obtained, and Mr. Johnson would be ejected
from his office.
It is manifest from these facts and calcu
lations. that the result is bv no means cer
tain. The majority in favor of conviction is
much smaller and less to be relied on than
the zealous advocates of impeachment would
wish to have it. Mr. Johnson still has a
chance of escape. Rut the probability
inclines strongly against him ; and ns tho
public at large, Democrats as well ns
Republicans, will be much hotter content to
have him degraded from the Presidency, we
presume that they will not he disappointed.
VoiiMi in Bai.i.ot.— The Greeks invented
this method of voting. Their contrivance
was the ballot box, the happy product of
the highest civilization. From Greece tho
ballot box was introduced into Rome, and
from Rome it descended to the modern
world, not in a straight line, however. It
was lost during the dark ages; the bar
barians swept away the ballot, and hard
fists and the drumhead recovered their as.
vend alley. With the revival of learning
and liberty, however, came anew spirit,
anc the first weapon seized by the emanci
pated nations was the free and personal
vote. The Dutch were the first to restore
the reign of the ballot, the advantage of
which they saw in their contest with the
Spanish tyrants.
From Holland the ballot was introduced
into England during the bad days of Charles
I, in the year 1637, the year in which
Hampden was condemned for not paying
ship money, the year in which I’rynne was
branded on the cheek with burning irons ;
in which Bastwick anil Burton had their
ears cut off in Palace Yard. At such a
time there was need for some protection
against tho inquisitorial and übiquitous
tyranny of the Court aud Crown. Tho
King, Ins Privy Council and Lords de
nounced “the wooden box and little balls,”
and, in their rage, endeavored to prevent
their use. But the people, led by the Lon
don merchants, defied the rulers and nmdo
the invasion of tho ballot box a triumphant
one.
A Coxjuoai. Scrape.— Oh, the meanness
of men and the tolly of husbands! Here is
a Parisian story to show how poorly a man
comes off in any contest with womankind.
The other day n Parisian and hi.? wife went
to Brussels. The first thought of the lady
was naturally to visit nil the shops, and
especially those renowned for lace. She met
with some marvelous bargains as a matter
of course, gave n glowing account of them
to tier husband, and proposed to lake a
quantity of the lace home with her, smug
gled under her dress. The husband, liken
husband, resisted. It would be incurring
too great a risk, lie said vehemently ; the
lace would ho found and confiscated; ho
would not consent to the arrangement. The
lady agreed that she should, like a good wife,
go without the lace. And so the pair started
for Paris, monsieur well pleased that he
avoided this now extravagance. At the
frontier tin y were met as usual with the
demand, "Anything to declare?” They said,
“No.” It was enough, uml they were
allowed to pass without further trouble.
Now here begins to show itself the folly of
men. The lady gave her husband a look,
and the husband began to foresee the hitler
reproaches ol his tender spouse. Ii was
evident that she might have passed the lace
without danger. She would certainly take
her vengeance for the loss of the coveted
prize in a good lecture. To avoid this
horror, it became necessary to convince the
wile that there really was danger. She
must he searched. Monsieur whispers to
one of the Customs’ officers that he imagines
the lady nt his side lias some lace hidden
about her person. She was immediately
taken aside, and in a few minutes the officer
of Customs returned, his face beaming with
satisfaction, to inform the gentleman, with a
profusion of thanks, that his supposition
was well founded. The lady had nt least
ten thousand francs worth of lace hidden
among the folds of her dress. — Once a Week.

hanging was commuted to transportation:
and a third in July, of the same year, by
J. W. Bean, who was imprisoned eighteen
months therefor.
The Paris correspondent of the New York
Times says : A celebrated English physi
cian recently visited the Tuilleries, and
spoke with the physicians of the Emperor.
I' rom their conversation, he learned that the
frequent fainting fits to which the Emperor
is subject are the consequence of a disease
of the heart, which might bring about his
sudden death, though it does uot exactly
exclude the possibility of a long life. In
reference to the Prince Imperial, I hear
from the same rather reliable source that
the constitution of the heir to the throne
does not give promise of his reaching liis
majority.
Gount Avila, President of the Portuguese
Council, is the most behymned and bedeco

addresses to a certain dame, who had the
had taste to receive him coldly. One day,
when sitting in Iter bourdoir, an idea struck
him, which sent him to his own home in all
haste. In nn hour he returned, clad in his
grand ministerial uniform, completely cov
ered with medals and badges, ribbons and
rosettes. The cruel beauty laughed till the

she cried, “is this the way you spread your

Excuses for Not Goixu to Chciicu.—A
gentleman, who pays close attention to such

myself in time: too* cold; too hot; too
windy ; too dusty; too wet; too damp;
too sunny ; too cloudy : don’t feel disposed ;
no other time to myself; look over my
drawers : put my papers to rights; letters
to write to friends ; mean to taken walk;
going to take a ride; tied to business six
Jays in the week ; no fresh air but on Sun
days; can’t breathe in church; always so
full; feel a little feverish; feel a little
chilly ; feel very lazy ; expect company for
dinner ; got a headache ; intend nursing
myselt to day ; new bonnet not come home ;
tore my muslin dress coming down stairs ;
got anew novel, must be returned on Mon
day morning ; wasn’t shaved ia time ; don’t
like the liturgy, always praying for the sanio
thing, don’t like extemporary prayer;
don’t like an organ, ’tis too noisy ; don’t
like singing without music, makes mo ner
vous ; the spirit is willing, but the flesh
weak ; dislike an extemporary sermon, it is
too frothy; can’t hear a written sermon,
too prosy; nobody to day but our own
minister, can’t always listen to the same
preacher; don't like strangers; can’t keep
awake when in church ; fell asleep last time
wiien I was there; shan't risk it again ;
mean to inquire of scnsiblo persons about

A mono the Shakers.— Among the rules
posted in the office of a hotel in a Shaker
village in New Hampshire is the following :
“Married persons tarrying with us over
night arc respectfully notified that each sex
occupy separate apartments while they re
main.'’
Some time since a newly married couple,
on a little bridal trip, visited the Shakers.
The evening was spent in talk—bed timo
entne—and the couple were invited to sleep.
They passed out of the office, up stairs, there
saw lwo sober faced Shakers, a ‘’brother”
and ‘‘sister,'' each with a candle.
‘Man to the.left!" said the brother, and
into a room he escorted the bridegroom.
“Woman to tho right!" as quietly said the
sister, and into a separate room the bride
was ushered—the newly made man and
wife separated without even a good night
kiss.
Two men in New York laid a wager that,
ol seven women who should enter the
crowded horse oar in 'which they wero
riding, and be offered seats, not one would
say •‘thank you.” As one after nnother
dropped in and silently took the proffered
scats, the result seemed certain, but the sev
enth relumed her obligations, nnd thus wns
tho wager deeidod.
