tho hands of his pcrS‘leutoi$ aiid its ene
mies.
Tho game seems to be played with
unusual interest and animation by the
respective parties in the Northern St..^ •,
nnd tho fact cannot be disguiled that as
perities have been engendered of an ir-
ordinnte character, add that they have
outcropped in open denunciations and
criminutionsliko unto those wo w itnessed
between tho soctions immediately pre
ceding the outbreak of tho lute bloody
war, and not at all in keeping with the
state 6f cohesion and Union which served
to coocontrnto tho energies and persist
ent efforts of that powerful section against
us when ww **?re at open hostility.
But a casual pt the aims of
the reRpteotivo contending Lost*, serves
to discloso the fact tbit power pnt-
ronago, and not philanthropy and w t r f.
otism alone, haVo much tb do with t>„
stirring up of thoso nngry passions, and
that whatever difficulties and perils tho
disputants may, by tho Way, entangle
thernaelvoB in, hoik partis* nVo aiming in
this respect at tho Biime thing.
If offico arid power are tho aim, the
Vote of tho South is evidently tho means
of facilitating tho one and hindering tho
olhor; and therefore is auxiliary to tho
groat stako for which they are playing.
To aid our rouders in forming an in
telligent opinion as to tho probability of
an attempted impeachment, it may be
well for them to cch-iider whether it ii
necessary for the purposes of the party
• in power iu Cortgfcss, that Mr. Johnson
should be deputed; and also whether
such a step is likely to cvcntuntc ip sue
cess, eveu if tho end bo doailablo. Upon
the last point there are grounds to doubt,
for tho probability is that there are some
rnornberD of Uofigresa who will promptly
voto against all tho administration meas
ures, that would not vote at all to im
peach tho Chief Magistrate of the na
tion, and thereby incur tho dangers of
civil war. It is evident thut our friends
North desiro to have our votos in Con-
gross and in tho noxt electoral college.
It is equally apparent that their ojpo
nents desire and iutend, if possible, to
have neither. For their purposes it
tvould seem that it is amply sufficient to
keep tho South out of Congress and out
bf tho electoral eollcgc. ^They have
eeoded in doing Iho former during the
la9t session of Congress with Mr. John
son in office, why may they not do
during tho next session ? And if that
is true, why is irncocKtary to have him
deposed <*
The subject of impoachinont looses all
iti practical interest, when applied to the
r
l
.lolly just. Wo do not sco that- nriy
ubt as to tho necessity and justice of

SEN. BUTLER'S PLAN OF IMPEACHMENT.
Washington Cor. of tho ChtiJeston Courier.)
General Butler’s speech at Cincinnati,
wap, in fact, intended to jireropt the great
Radical irttme, to w it: The impeachment
and removal of Andrew Johnson, and
the substitution for him Jf the President
pmtrn. of the Senate, probably Honntor
Wade of Ohio. Upon thin lt*a\ie, Ohio,
Peensylvnnia and other States haVirig al
ready declared their .position. They de
cide to sanction mttler’e entire pro*
gramme, which ho has stated with so
much particularity. He is himself prob
ably, to bo the leader of tho Congress
Army ^against the l’rvsidoht’s army,
in cuso the President should resist tho
usurpation of Congress. Ho proposes
himself for that position, lie also lays
down his own law for the trial of impeach
ment, and prescribes rules for tho con
duct of tho Semite, as tho High Court of
Impeachment. Tho Senate with twenty-
six Slatt'8 rcprcJentcd, will, by n bare
majority of votes—twenly.seven—order
that President Johnson, as soon as tho
articles of impeachment are presented,
bo arrested tpid imprisoned lit tho old
CnpftuJ or Fortress Monrhe, and his
fimctimis are nt a end. Blit Johnson
ways Butler, may resist that course. In
that ease Butler will bo on hand with nu
army of Rudiculs, collected from tho
mass of the people; by which tho regu
lar forces of the army and navy nro to
be routed rind dispersed. From this, by
the way G'eh. Butler is to bo next Presi
dent.
More of top. Impeachment.
From lh« Macon Telegraph.) -
The World proceeds to answer tho
position of Butler by citing the case of
Justico Bamuel Chase, of the United
»°tales Supreme Court, impenchatyn 18-
05. Tho Senate, after organizing as-a
high court of impeachment, adopted the
following as one of tho rules of proceed-
tog 1 ,
“ 1 lio person Impeached shall then b-:
called to appear and answer tho articles
of impeachment cxhihito.l against him.
If he appears, or any person for him, tho
appearunco shall bo recorded, staling
particularly if by himself or by agent nr
attorney, naming tho person appearing)
and the capacity tin which ho appear,
either personally or by agent or ottorneh
the fiairio shall fib recorded.”
Gcncuil Butler is wholly wrong in h'w
law. Instead of tho I’rcsiuent bomg td-
ken into custody mrd impeached, it de
pends on his voluntary choice whethef
lie w ill appear before tho court nt all.
If ho appears, lie is just as freo to ap*
pear by attorney as in pofton.
Judge Story, In his Commentarir* on
the CoiiftilutioHj describes at length tho
formalities observed ii> trials for impoach-j
moflt. And the World cUpfitbe follow
ing passage us corroborating tho inferen
ces draw n from the rule of the court in'
Judge Chase’s case:
‘ 7/ he"—tho person impeached —]
“ ilnet not appear, in person or by attorney,
hit itffqjill it recorded, and tub ^knatk
MAY I’KOCEED EX PARTIK TO THE TRIAL OF
the impeachment. If ho docs appear, in
person or by attorney, his nppcnftmce
is recorded.'’
There have been, in all, four casts of
impeachment, since tho begining of our
( (governments nartiely, that of William
I>lount| lrQt); John Bickering, 1803;
j Bamncl Chnso, 1805; and James II.
, Reck, 1881. The law govering such
trials ns stated by Judge Btory, is foun-
| (led on tho precedents furnished by those
! four cases. The argument of General
| Butler in support of the position of
Wendell Philips, that tho President
must necessarily be suspended from of
fice during tlm trial, falls to the ground
in the face of this uniform triage. But
! oven if the exploded assumption of But
ler wero correct, the taking of the Presi
dent into Uinpi-rarjr custody Wotrid not
operate ns a suspension from oflie.o. Jf
lie should bo totally disabled for six
weeks by typhus fever, wo suppose no
body is absurd enough to say ho would
cense to be President during his illness,
and that the President ol tho Senate
would bo inducted into the Executive
chair. Tho Government would, in that
case, bo administered hv tho heads of
departments, and papers requiring tho
Prjpdent’# name would remain unsigned
bum his recovery. That his office could
not bn tilled by another person during
his transient disability, rimy be shown by
conclusive analogy. Suppose ^IiVuTvIus
tico Chase sh’nUld bo impeached; wonltl
hip offico ho variant during Iho trial ?—
It so, tho Presiiloilt could send* to tho
ticnatoa nomination to $11 tho vacancy.
For Chif-justicfi Chfcso to preside al
tho triul cf tho President would bo also
a great iniquity, although in conformity
to the letter of tho Constitution. The
President of the Senate presides in al!
trials of impeachments w ith tho singlo ex
ception that tho Chief-justieo takes his
place when the President of the United
States is tried. Tho reason which has
always been given for this exception is
solid and conclusive. It is, that the
President of the Senato being the Con
stitutional successor of a deposed Presi
dent, is an interested party, and there
fore unfit to conduct tho trial. This ob
jection applies, Iri rill itis lbh:e; to Chief-
justice Chase. Contrary to all former
example, to all t-onso of fitness, to all tho
decorum which beseems his groat office,
the Chief-justice is a candidate for Presi
dent ns Mr. Johnson's successor. His
success in rcaobingfcho Prysideffejr de
pends on excluding tho unrepVtsefitell
States from participation in the election;
and tho deposing of President Johnson
is thought by the Rndicnls a necessary
stent to their exclusion. With this grunt
stako in tho result, Chief-justice Chnso is
totally unfit to preside* at tho triul.
F/.ow of liOT.n to the United States
—The London Review has tho following:
Tho influx of gold to the United States
has ronthmed on a somewhat larger
scale thn'ri nnd been looked for, although,
in fact, amounting to no great sum. After
tho enormous receipts from that country,
a month or two hack, it is not much to
have to return s»mo two hundred thou
sand or three hundred thousand pounds
in two or threo succcseivo weeks. Tho
most satisfactory feature in tho move
ment is tho confidence that it shows in
the permanence of pence in America,
and that, as far ns investors aroconcern-
cl, the renewal of tho civil war in con
sidered in the highest degreo remote.—
As wo hnvo already had occasion to ob
serve, thh belief is not only felt by En-
gllsIiinUrt tthil Germans, but has latterly
been shared by FrerieliriVch. Tho five-
twenty bonds, which these shipments are
made to pay for, nro ns eagerly, if not
more eagerly, bought in Pans, ns in Lon
don nnd Frankfort. Not very ninny>
year* ago scarcely any foreign seen reties
were quoted on the French bourse*, nnd.
it is significant to notice how great an
alteration has taken place in this respect.
Except on our stock exchange, it may
be doubted whether in any other capita!
of Europe, not even in FnmkAfft or Am
sterdam) foreign invcstlhenln are now so
largely held as in Paris. Formerly, na
tive capitalists would take nothing but
iho ren es; now they a be ready to invest
ia Jtaliaff, Spanish, Mexican (unfortu
nately),and many other similar securi
ties. Except, Ikiwovo)*, in hire instances;
baited States bonds hnvb bl-cu in little
lavor, and hence tho significative ol tho
present demand.

LITTLE MI8CttllF.
BY HANNAH M. DRY AN.
Ono day, Hlntnjun hnd been busily en
gaged in making ''pyn'cji-butter,” nnd
had deposited n large kettle of this de
licious preserve on the kitchen floor, pre
vious to transferring it to earthen jars.
On doing so, she found it had been sure li
ed, and much of the gummy, pasty sub
stance, still adhered to tho liottoin nnd
Bides of the latter, nnd this she proposed
to put in a separate vessel; before doing
so, however, she was called to another
Wrt of the house, and inadvertantly left
Little Mischief in possession of the pro
mises. . ,
He fiVSt ,1’oHt ,1’n discovering the
kettle, and the bUglll thl)\lght of gating
into it immediately entered his head.—
When ho peeped in, and comprehended
the situation, I can imagine that his lit
tle bosom swelled with nil tho proud
emotions which wo might siljibse would
hnvo filled tho hronst w AlbxuHder, hud
his Prime Minister shown him it lihiri
now world, all mapped out into king
domsand provinces, waiting for him to
conqnor. It w as a somewhat perilous
feat, but with oorrago and tho aid of
his little chair, it was at length accom
plished, and ho snugly deposited himsolf
therein. His quarters wero rather close
but warm and pleasant, nnd ho doubt
less enjoyed himself for a time amid his
sweet surroundings; but ut lengln hav
ing satisfied the demands of appetite,
hewearried of his sweet retreat, and
would lain have left it, but found to his
dismay that bo could riot do so, for
tho massed cooled it becnuiu more tena
cious, nnd ns his curls wer'o glued to tho
side of tho kettle, ho flitind himsolf a
prisoner, and set up a bl'V of distress,
which attracted our aUentiori.
Now Little Mischiefs cries had mnnj 1
a varying tone nf pain, auger, or annoy-
anco, which mamma, by long experience
well understood; and sho immediately
divined thut this was a cuse in which,
in tho pursuit of pleasure, ho had not
found the happiness ho anticipated, nnd
it was with more anxiety to sco what
damage ho had done, than what ho had
sustained, thut wo hastened to the kitch
en, Mi’erij Vvo foffiid |Littlo Mipohif so
thoroughly incorporated with tli'o con
tents of tho kettle, that it would have
puzzled a wise man to tell which \Vrts
preserve, and which baby. His \VnHi
stubby shoes, grey worsted stockings,
dhisH; curls, fair rtnmd fiieo and chubby
hands, were, what housekeepers would
call, a perfect quam," from which a pair'
of roguish eyes peered out, with a look
half comic, half serious, w hich seemed
to say, “Whip mo, tna, but dontlaugh at
trio I” For once in his life, if never
again, Little Mischief might with great
propriety lmvc been called “u very sweet
child.”
Water, soap, towels, combs, and clean
garments were in requisition, and after
much scrubbing, he was restored to his
normal state of moderate sweetness, but
before that was accomplished, 1 ato sor
ry to say, the nbvblty of the gituatinh
having worn off, mammy had scolded
“sonic*,” sjiiiiikcd “a few,” rind Lillie
Mischifs blue eyes had shed ertbhffh salt
tears to have partially cleansed aud pick-
led his round rosy cheeks.
Little Miscliiol had a “sweet tooth”
in his head, and this troublesome molar
'rimiulinics led him into depredations on
tho sugar chest nnd preserve jars, when
they wero left in his reach, and mamma
found it difficult to make him compre
hend tho oiiuwly of such offences, or
mako him romomber that they wero for
bidden. Entering the kitchen unK'peet-
cdly one day, he was found insiisjilelous

been estrangement between us—not on
any personal subject, and not involving
angry words—and a good many months
bad passed w ithout my ever seeing him
in the streets, when it fell out that wo

Though dimmr l her bright eye'* or.uro,
And dimmed her bail's young gold,
The love nf her girlhood plighted
Has novergr wq imorold.
