The Peaboby Educational Fund.—It
stated tbat the agent of the Peabody Southern
Educational Fund, Dr. Sears, has appropriated
twelve thousand dollars for the current year to
various existing schools in the leading country
towns of Louisiana. He has also assigned five
thousand dollars for the aid of normal schools
in that State, two thousand dollars being given
to the normal school at New Orleans.
The Rev. John W, Glenn, well known
through the different parts of the State as a
Presiding Elder of the Methodist Church, died
within the past week near Rome. No one,
perhaps, was better prepared for death. He
was highly esteemed wherever known, and
has done much good in his day and genera
tion.
Mr. Forney communicates to the Phila
delphia Press, as &q understood thing, “that
no Republican who opposes the conviction
of Andrew Johnson will be allowed a seat
in the Republican Convention at Chicago
In other words, the Republican who doubts
the expediency of impeachment, or denies
the sufficiency of the testimony adduced as
the ground-work ot Mr. Johnson’s removal,
is to be read out of the party.
The Montgomery Mail says that it is ru
mored that the Court Martial which tried
Ryland Randolph, for wounding a negro in
self-defence, sentenced him to ten years
hard labor at the Dry Tortugas, and would
doubtless have handcuffed and harried him
off to the destined punishment bat for the
intervention of President Johnson. The
President of the United States, although
threatened with violence at the hands of a
faction, dared to turn like a lion upon the
Ridical hounds who were baying on his
track. He ordered the military to release
Mr. Randolph. It was done.
Alabamians Chained Like Dogs.—The
Pensacola Observer, of Saturday, says that
“seven young gentlemen, from Greene county,
Ala., were prisoners aboard the Lavaca, which
touched at the wharf yesterday, on their way
to the Dry Tortugas. They were manacled
and chained together, and guarded by sixteen
bayonets. They were sentenced by a military
court, sitting at Selma, to hard labor for one
and two years. The heinous crime for which
they were convicted, as we have understood,
was that one of the young men struck a “car
pet-bagger,” by the name of Hill—a miserable
creature, who is said to have been expelled
from the Masonic fraternity and the Methodist
ministry for stealing hogs from his neighbors.
They were all young men of high respectability
and refinement. To see these seven young
Southern gentlemen standing on the deck of
that steamer, chained like dog9, was well cal
culated to cause the blood to boil and seethe,
and the heart to throb with emotions which
we are compelled to conceal, for fear tbat an
expression of them might condemn us to a like
punishment. 5 '
Secretary McCalloch has given notice
that all compound interest notes intended
for conversion into three per cent, tem
porary loan certificates mast either be
presented to the Assistant Treasurer at
New York, who has the full charge
and control of the issue of such cer
tificates, or to the Treasurer ol the United
Siates at Washington, who will issue certifi
cates, which, on presentation at the office cf
the Assistant Treasurer at New York, will
entitle the holder to receives such certificates
in exchange. Compound interest notes in
tended for redemption in lawful money must
be forwarded to the Treasurer of the United
States in Washington for that purpose.
Shot by a Negro.—A corresponlent ot
the Baltimore Gazette, writing from Lex
ington, Va., says:
I regret to say that we had another shoot
ing eff iir here last night, the 9th inst. A
negro shot a son of the Hon. Joo. W. Brock
enbrougb, aged about seventeen, without
any just cause or provocation. The lad is
still living, but no hopes are entertained ot
his recovery. There is great excitement
Here. The negro has been arrested and
placed in jail.
Frightful Trugcd/ at Madison, La.
(From the Madison Courier, May 7th.]
Yesterday afternoon a terrible tragedy was
enacted near the mouth of Clifty Hollow,
about two miles below the city, in which
Wyatt Mace was shot by his brother Ieaac,
on the farm of Mr. Allan Blackford. The
following are the particulars, as near as
we can learn : Wyatt has been raised from
infancy by his aunt and uncle. Isaac, it 19
fcupposed, has envied Wyatt his situa
tion in lite. Ieaac loved a young lady
and wanted to marry her, but she re
cently married another man. Isaac ac
cused his uucle, aunt and brother of being
instrumental in causing his disappointment
in marriage. Yesterday morning be came in
the city with J. W. Littlejohn, apparently all
right, but in the afternoon he started to go
to a neighbor's, where the young lady was
visiting, to see her, and on his way met his
brother Wyatt, who was ploughing, and
who tried to persuade him not to go, as be
would disgrace himself and family by doing
so. Some words passed between them when
Isaac presented a pistol at his brother’s breast
to shoot him. Wyatt turned aside the pistol
with bis hand, when Isaac drew a bowie
knife and strnck at his brother, who
attempted to avert being injured by run
ning away, when Isaao again brought
the pistol into use, and fired three
ehots at him, one of which took effect io
the left shoulder, making a severe wound.
Isaac then went to Mr. Blackford’s house,
and presenting the pistol to bis annt’s breast,
said: “Auut, I’m going to kill you.” Mrs.
Biackford caught the pistol and took it from
bim. He then drew his knife, aod was about
to attack ber, when Mr. Blackford opportune
ly stepped into the house and seized Isaac. A
struggle ensued, in which Mr. B.’s clothes
were cut in seleral places, bat no flesh
wounds made. Mr. B. struck him on the he ad
with % stone, and with the assistance of a Mr.
Gordon, succeeded in tying him. Word was
sent to the city, when the Deputy Sheriff and
Mr. E. Rodgers went down and took him in
custody. He is now in jail. Wyatt was im
mediately attended to by physicians, \vho
it as yet have failed to
IMPJDAOaMKJfT.
The result of the impeachment trial being
still in doubt; the presses of the North are
indulging in speculations as to the probable
consequences to the Radical party of either
acquittal or conviction, while the more rabid
organs of the conspirators against the Presi
dent are resorting to the most unscrupulous
means to influence the vote of the Senate
against him. The Washington Chronicle is
especially importunate and indecent in ob
truding its advice and in its partizan appeals
to the passions and prejudices of the Radical
Senators. In an editorial on “The Verdict’
it paints a terrible picture of the effects of
acquittal of the President, asserting that he
would consider it “an endorsement of hi9
claim that he is not bound to execute a law
which he believes to be unconstitutional,
that therefore it would be to iuvite him to
withdraw the District Commanders from the
South, abolish the Freedmen’s Bureau, resist
the admission of Senators and Representa
tives from the South under the reconstruc
tion scheme, remove General Grant, and do
many other terrible things suggested by the
editor’s patriotic fears. The editor insists:
If he is not punishable for what he has
done, then he may do all of these things
with impunity. Should all this happen, a
terrible responsibility will rest upon those
Republican Senators through whose votes it
is brought about, and a triple share of it on
such of these as voted for the resolution of
of the 21st of February last. For all time
their names will be engraved on the ad
amant of history as the deliberate belrayer9
of a great cause, and the curses of the long-
oppressed millions whose new-found liberties
they vote to take away lollow them beyond
the grave.
We implore the Republican Senators who
have not yet made up their minds to vote for
the acquittal of this wicked usurper, to
pause before they surrender the country to
ten months more of his savage and remorse
less tyranny. Let them turn away from the
uniinpassioned and indifferent lawyers who
have shut themselves out from all the ap
peals of justice and mercy, and listen to the
invocations and study the sufferings of the
persecuted millions of the South. Let them
hearken to the demands of the brave men
who saved our country on the field of battle;
let them revive the memorias of the heroes
who fell that freedom might live; let them
commisserate the deplorable condition of
four millions of freed men to be remitted by
their votes to the oppression of exulting task
masters, These are the arguments that
should reach every humane aud sincere Re
publican. There is not a single fireside
North or South to-day that is not surrounded
with anxious and throbbing heaits waiting
for a verdect of to-day which may fill the
future with unimaginable horrors. No man
who remembers all these things can find it
in his heart to vote for the retention of a
tyrant who, acquitted by the Senate, will ac
cept that decree as an encouragement to per
severe in his reckless course.
Republicans of the Senate, it is not too
late to save the Republic.
The New York Herald, which paper is
just at present running the Chase schedule
for the Presidency, take9 a more rational
view of the matter. The Herald thinks, and
for once we share its opinion, that “which
ever way impeachment may go the result on
the political future” (the fortunes of the
Radical party) “will be the same.’’ The
Herald thinks the people are resolved upon
a change in the government, and that neither
impeachment nor acquittal will save the Rad
icals from repudiation and disgrace. It says
For three years the Republican party ba9
yielded little by little to the extreme violence
of its Radical members, until the country
has been brought to the verge of ruin. Taxa
tion has been increased, and is every year
mounting higher and higher. From fifteen
to eighteen hundred millions of dollars have
been taken out of the pockets of the people
in three years of peace, and yet our debt is
larger than ever, and the cost of govern
ment is nearly as great as daring the war.
There is no prospect of bettering the condi
tion of tbe country so long as the same men
who have ruled siucetbe suppression of the
rebellion continue in power ; for they have
shown their incapacity either to restore the
rebel States, or to properly govern the
loyal States. Their laws have spread a
military despotism and negro supremacy
over one-third of the country. They have
given a bonus of one hundred million dol
lars to the wealthy manufacturers, and
transferred the burden to the agricultural,
commercial, aod laboring classes. The un
constitutional and abominable income tax is
enforced more vindictively than ever, and
the only means by which a general crash
and iuiq can be postponed is by flooding
the country with another hundred millions
of paper money. These are the facts that
will present themselves to the people in the
next election, and that will turn their votes
against the Radical Republican nominee,
whoever he may be. The verdict at the
polls will be reudered against corruption,
violence and misrule, and tbe military
reputation of Grant or of any other Gen
era! will be powerless to change tbe result.
* * * * whatever may be the result of
impeachment its consequences will be tatal
to radical republicanism, whose overthrow
will only be the more complete if its three
years of mi>rnle should culminate >n the de
position of the Constitution a meek trial,
aud the revolutionary transfer ol the govern
ment to tbe hands ot a blasphemous and ig
norant hackwood politician.”
The President’s acquittal wiil be the con
viction of the Radical party, who will stand
before the country and the world as a band
of baffled conspirators agaiusi tbe Constitu
tion and liberties of their country. Fearful re
action will follow, which will hurl them from
power and consigD them to an iguominious
oblivion, only redeemed by the infamy of
their political crime.
On the other band, should their pliant
consciences and besoted judgment lead them
to a conviction, the deposition of the Presi
dent will throw the entire burthen ol the
misgovernment of the country upon them
Jealousies, mutual distrust, and discord wil 1
arise among them, until neither the outside
pressure nor the “cohesive power of public
plunder” can longer hold them together.
Divided, distracted, execrated and repudi
ated by an outraged people, the party, borne
down by its inquiries, will be driven from
the power it has usurped, never to return,
and its leaders, now so arrogant and defiant,
will live to hear the name, ‘‘Impeacher!

with which the epithet “R c gicede,” wa

types of England.

A PRECIOUS Trio.—Three youthful candi
dates for the gallows. Michael Dethier, Jos.
Marlow and Charles Hoops, aged respectively
nine, ten and thirteen years, were arrested
in Detroit a night or two ago, in a large dry
goods box they bad fitted up in the most ap
proved style for a thieves’ den, haring stolen
thirty dollar* front A fruit dealer with which
to buy their “fanutnw." The den contained
a row of shelves, on which were displayed a
can of pino apples, a box of sardines, a bot
tle of whiskey, a quantity of butter, crack
ers and bread, three pipes and a box of to
bacco, a bottle of hair oil, two boxes of trix,
a bag ol peanuts, brush and comb, two boxes
, of figs, and a variety of other domestic ar
ticles, including cookiog utensils, a straw
pallet and a- stool. %wo of the juvenile
scalawags were engaged in a friendly game
of “penny ante” when captttred. Their
families are Said to be very

The Falsity of the Public Debt
Statement.—The New York Tribune is
pointing out What it calls an inaccarary in
the Public Debt Statement :
To make it thoroughly lucid and trust
worthy (we are told), the amount of accrued
interest should always be added to the prin
cipal of each outstanding obligation. For
instance: The aggregate interest-bearing
debt somewhat exceeds $1,200,000,000,
whereupon tbe interest is about $11,000,000.
Now, suppose none of this interest fell due
and was paid in April (which, we believe
was nearly the ease), the actual amount of
debt was Increased by so mneb ; hence, the
gain of the Treasury was not really $18,-
iT 7 ' oaly .$7,000.000. We believe it
pet* I was actually lees than $10,000,000, though
I it seems to be $18,000,000, j

EVENING DISPATCHES.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Impeachment Collapsed—Congressional
Ilems. die.
Washington, May 15.—Ultimate ac-
quital seems to be conceded to-day. Tbe
offsetting meetings'and resolutions, which
have all been published, are very many.
Private dispatches to uncommitted Senators
have been received from borne sonroes, urg
ing them toiact according to their consciences,
and assuring them that the impeaohment
furor is artificial.
Replying to tbe Missouri delegation, Sena
tor Henderson appears to have said that con
viction would have failed without, and conld
not have been secured with his vote. In his
opinion the second article would have been
defeated by two and tbe eleventh by four
votes. The impeachment managers appear
to have abandoned yesterday’s project,
whatever that may have been. They had
no meeting to-day. A vote to-morrow is
considered improbable.
Messrs. Howard and Gonkling are con
fined to their beds.
Mr. Grimes is better.
Mr. Morton is on the street.
Senate.—No session to-day.
House.—Tbe letter of tbe Missonri Con
gressional delegation to Senator Henderson
was up as a question of privilege. Several
Missouri Representatives said the objection
able letter was written and the interview
obtained at the instance of Mr. Hendersoo.
Considerable excitement ensued, but tbe
Speaker deciding tbat it was not a privileged
question, and several members objecting to
its present consideration, the Honse pro
ceeded with the regular order.
Mr. Wilson was proceeding to explain a
private bill when Mr. Woodward, who was
the author of the resolution concerning the
Missouri delegation, desired to know what
the gentleman from Missonri, Mr. Pile, who
was near him, meant by distorting bis face?
He (Mr. Woodward,) was not accustomed to
being talked to in grimace and cabalistic
signs.
The Speaker rapped the House to order,
and a3ked for what purpose the gentleman
from Pennsylvania rose ? It it was a ques
tion of order the gentleman from Iowa
could be taken off the floor, but not other
wise.
Mr. Woodward desired to know what the
signs and facial contortions ot the gentle
man from Missouri meant. Tbe manner in
which they were made was more befitting
the Five Points than this ball.
The Speaker reminded Mr. Woodward
that the lust remark was not in order.
Mr. Woodward resuming, said tbe gentle
man had come towards him making cabal
istic signs of thi9 style (putting bis thumb
towards bis nose and gyrating his fingers),
and he conld not understand that language.
Mr. Pile disclaimed any intention to insult
Mr. Woodward.
Mr. Woodward said that as the gentleman
belongs to the party that claims to possess
all the morality of tbe country—[cries of
“Order” on the Republican sidej— he wanted
to know what the signs meant.
Mr. Myers, of Pennsylvania, desired to
koow if the remarks ot his colleague would
go in the G obe, uttered as they were out of
order.
Tbe Speaker said the gentleman has risen
to a question of order, and his remarks will
go into the Globe.
Private bills were resumed, after which
the House adjourned.
The Star says there is a lull in the im
peachment excitement, partly from the im
pression that the vote will not be taken to
morrow.
Some of the managers favor postpone
ment, while others, it is known, are in fa
vor of disposing of at once and for all time
a question that is now only serving to dis
tract the Republican party. Some leading
Republicans believe that it will be policy to
gat wholly rid of the impeachment matter
as a feature of tbe coming Presidential can
vass, and to move on to “fresh fields and
pastures new,” where all training under tbe
Republican standard can rally on common
issues.
