National Republican *UOtWTA. »*.. 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 instant, until ufter the Congress of the 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. Thos. Dalla was hung at Statesville, N.

Such is the state ol famine iti Finland that those who were employed to carry relief to tho sufferers have found several villages without a living inhabitant, the corpses of the poor starved creatures lying unburied in the streets and houses. A Washington special so the Boston Journal says: Tho Democrats haye appa rently determined to unite on Geu. Han cock as their candidate for President, with a Western man as Vico President, although some advocate the nomination of Mr. Adams, of Massachusetts. There was a meeting of the Committee on Reconstruction, Saturday, for the con sideration of the new Constitutions of Ar kansas and South Carolina, but it adjourned over, in consequence of the receipt of infor mation from Mr. Stevens that he was too sick to attend. In the United States in 1860, the whole number of copies of newspapers circulated during the year was 927,951,548. The annual circulation is now estimated at 1,500,- 000,010.

The New York Inebriates' Asylum has on file application for admission from the following classes: Thirty-nine clergymen, eight judges, three hundred and forty mer chants, two hundred and twenty-six physi cians, two hundred and forty gentlemen of leisure, and thirteen hundred daughters of rich men. For being badly shaken up in an acci dent on the Northeastern railroad, in Eng land, Mr. Samuel Buxton sued for damages received on three accounts: Ist, for busi ness losses ; 2d, for structural sufferings ; and Zd.Jor agony endured in the anticipa tion of an untimely end. He got eight hundred pounds sterling. In fifteen years about 13,500 children have been sent trom New York city to the West and placed in good homes.

Three attempts have been made to assas sinate Queen Victoria since the commence ment of her reign—one in June, 1840, by a crazy lad named Oxford ; another in May, 1842, by John Francis, whoso sentence of 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 rated man in Portugal, and is generally known under the soubriquet of Senlior Pea cock. Now. this gentleman was paying his 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 tears stood in her eyes. “Senhor Peacock,” she cried, “is this the way you spread your tail ?” The capital rejoiced for an entire fortnight. Excuses for Not Goixu to Chciicu.—A gentleman, who pays close attention to such matters, assured a cotemporary that, within the past six months, he has heard the fol lowing excuses made for not attending church: Overslept myself: could not dress 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 tho propriety of going to such a place as church, and publish tho result. 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.
