that we believe it had any such criminal
and bloody objects as are attributed to it,
or that we supposed it bad a serious object
at all* but because a secret society in times
like these, playiug off practical jokes, even
if nothing worse, upon its political oppo

now by those into whose bands the supposed

Beware of Pebjoby.—Hdve you sworn
to support the . Constitution of the United
States ? If you have you will violate your
oath if you vote for the ratification of the At*
laota Constitution, one of the principal pro
visions of which is directly violative of the
letter and spirit of the Constitution ot the
United States which declares that no State
shall pass any law impairing the obligation
of contracts. Heap not disgrace upon your
State, nor peijnry upon your soul.
p Good Taste.—There is some good taste in
Congress yet. The majority of the members
prefer the “Horse Opera” to toe miserable
comico-tragico extravaganza now being
perf irined in wbat was formerly the Senate
Chamber of the United States. The Im
peachment farce, in which Beast Butler does
the heavy business, seems to have lost its
sensational attraction, and will shortly have
to give place lo other attractions. It is
slated that only fifteen members were in at
tendance to the “High Old Court” a few days
since, the balance of the rumps having gone
to Dan Rice’s Circus. Dait is aaid to have
recognized them from the saw-dust, and con

The Prospect ta Southwest D eorgla.
The Albany News says: “ We send good
cheer to our friends throughout the State. All’s
right-in Southwest Georgia. We are running
the very best men in ’the country, and confi
dently expect to elect them by large majorities.
Our people are thoroughly aroused, and the
canvass is progressing like a tornado. The
Radical# fail to convince the colored citizens
that carpet-baggers and scalawags are better
friends to them, and will make better laws
than the good and true men they have known
from their infancy. Thousands of them will
vete for decent, respectable, intelligent virtuous
men, in spite of the reckless means resorted
to to prevent them, and we are glad to believe
that, in many of the counties, a majority of
colored votes will be polled for Georgia and
her men,
“ The white voters are nearly a unit for the
Democratic candidates,, and we are pleased to
announce that but few now have sufficient
confidence iu the “ relief” cheat to vote for the
Constitution on that account. There exists a
wholesome and praiseworthy mania to stick to
he wreck, and all hands perish together, or
rejoice iu each other's confidence and fraternal
embrace, if deliverance comes. The colored
people are beginning to share this feeling with
the whites, and they are now helping us to bail
with a hearty good will. The Second Distric t
will elect Col. Tift, and a regular “ get out
the wilderness ” victory will bear up aud on
ward the cry for Gordon and Georgia.
The same paper announces the formation of
a Democratic Colored Club in Albany, in this
wise
“ We are proud to record the dawn of a new
era in the progress of our colored citizens from
darkness to light. They are determined to be
no longer duped by false promises, seduced by
false hopes, led by false teachers, or driven by
threats of violence. Spurning Radicalism as a
loathsome pestilence, and turuiug from its
leagues aa dens ot degradation, ruin uud death,
they have resolved to seek safety, comfort,
peace, contentment, prosperity and happiness
in a re union and close alliance with the only
true friends they have in the world the Dem
ocrats of the South. Under the Radical pro
gramme they have seeu their fondest hopes
decay, and every promise broken; the scales
have fallen from their eyes, und they discover a
horde of mendicant carpet-baggers, and pen
niless scalawags as the great lights of the party,
and that each one of the ragamuffins is after
Office and plunder. - They are awakened to the
fact that these pretended .friends, these self-
sacrificing patriots, these God and morality
philanthropists, these would-be statesmen,
jurists, legislators, clerks, sheriffs, ordinaries,
etc., are craven beggars for their votes, lying
hypocrites, whose teachings are false, and whose
doctrines are- death. Thei begin to see them

Washington, April 10—Horn*.— This body
did nothing- '
Senate.—This body proceeded imraedial
to tbe impeachment matter. Mr.
concluded A oalf-paat two ,o7dbd| ^
General Thomas was called Tor tho defence.
General Thomas was stopped by the prose
cution in describing hia interview with the
President when tbe order of appointment nod
removal were handed to htin- Tbe objection
wao elaborately argued; Messrs. Staobarry
and Evans for defence, Butler and Bingham
fur the prosecution. The Chief Justice sub
mitted the question in the first instanoe, and
the Managers were defeated—42 to 10.
Nays—Cameron, Chandler, Cunnese, Cragm,
Drake, Howard, Harlan, Nyc, Ramsey, and
Thayer. Mr. Sumner broke ranks fur the
first time on this question. .
Mr. Curiis continued bis argument on the
theory and practice in regard to vacancies
and appointments, claimipg that the evi?
denre would show several instances. He
insisted that Thomas was not^ appointed—
appointment requiring the President’s nomi
nation, the Senate’s consent. Mid toe Presi
dent's commission. He characterized the
allegation (hat “no vacancy existed” as beg
ging the question. The legal • vacancy ex
isted tbe moment Stanton received the letter
ot tbe President.
Recapitulating his arguments, Mr. Curtis
claimed that toe Managers had not shown
that toe President had violated toe Constitu
tion and laws. He then proceeded to argue
the conspiracy charges. The fourth and
sixth articles charge a violation of tne con
spiracy laws of 1861. He read tbe low. Its,
provif ions apply to States and Territories,
and are inoperative in the District of Colum
bia. Mr. Curtis did not rest on this techni
cality * but argued that iu law toe prelidih
nary movements of principal ond agent to
briug before toe Court a private claim purged
their actions of conspiracy., Mr. Curtis
claimed that this principle was applicable iu
a broader sense to public right, and that the
relations of superior and inferior officers
also precluded conspiracy. Mr. Curtis will
answer the fifth aud seventii articles in con
nection with the tenth, in none of which is
charged violation of any law. The ninth
article not only failed of proof, but was dis
proved by Emory, who swore that he intro
duced the objectionable topic and drew out
the President’s opinion. It would be shown
iu proof that tbe President sent for Emory
for a different purpose from that alleged in
the article.
Arguing the 18ih article Mr. Curtis dis
cussed impeachable offlenoes. without wea
rying the ears of the Senators with prece
dents from the middle ages he would refer
to the provisions of the Constitution
framers know quite as much as men who
lived in the time of toe Piantagenets.
“Other high crimes and misdemeanors hmai
be equally grave with bribery nod treason or
must bs offences against the United States. ”
The President is empowered to pardon all
tbe off nces against the United States ex
cept iu cases of impeachment.
After lurther illustrations, Mr. Curtis
claimed that be had fully shown tout the
Coart was bound by law, and was not In law
itself. Mr. Cttrtis cited the old English laws
aud tbe Federal sedition laws, showiof
truthful utterances, however offensive,
not punishable. The peculiar manner in
which this charge is brought shows that*
Congress is resolving itself into a school eg
manners.
Mr. Cnrtis insisted that telling truth is not
an offence against law; and the tru.h in this
case hud uot been questioned in ntafting the
case. Tbe testimony* of General. Thopaa#
elioited nothing new beyond the feet that
the President had not instructed General
Thomas to nse force. When Gen. Thomaa
was arrested he went first to the President,
who said that was right, that the <
