T. 1L Thorpe recently preached a stun ning sermon at Hoboken, New Jersey, abound- ! ing in curious statistics, showing the amount of money needlessly spent for luxuries, and demonstrating how this wicked wmld could be made a great deal better than it is if the peo ple would only drop the dimes and dollars they spend for champagne and cigars into the miss ionary box. We make a few extracts : TUI LUXURY OF CHAMPAGNE. Luxury need- never plead with her votaries. Every heart and every purse are ope« when ... the Devil presents his enticements.

It is composed exclusively of veterans who served in the late war. The formation of this army made almost as little noise in the country - as the fall of a snow-flake. was not designed that it should take a prominent place before the public til! some great necessity for its ser vices ‘should arise. In addition to the main purpose of supporting the Government, its ob- medieine ; but on the highest medical authori- ity. the origin of nine out of every ten cases of real heart disease, original or inherited—a con centrated drop of whose essential principle, if placed on the tongue of a dog, will cause him to die in convulsions. It destroys the power of mastication, by draining the salivary glands, arid by its exciting properties is the gentleman usher of strong drink. So long ago as ?1850 there were raised in the United States 199,000,- 000 pounds or what would now be equivalent to about $200,000,000, worth, and it is safe to say that the present consumption is nearly 8190,000,000 worth. Suppose an ordinary case: A business man uses four or sometimes many more cigars a day, worth fifteen cents each, or $15 or $29 a pound ; this of itself, leaving out pipes, chewing tobacco, lost time and lost op portunities, at the Very lowest estimate, is .'250 a year. Now there is scarcely a parish that docs not contain half a dozen such men, who might if they would, give a handsome support to their overworked, uncomplaining clergyman, THE LUXURIES OF PRIDE AND AMBITION. Even the little dove of Christianity is heavi ly taxed by Satan. All the money together that we contribute for foreign missionary effort would barely commission one frigate' for a year’s active service. But pride and ambition have two or three hundred. It is, therefore, not to be wondered at when we read that there recently sailed out of Boston a ship for Africa, whoge principle manifest consisted of so many missionaries and so many barrels of New Eng land rum. THE STINGINESS OF CflEISTIANS CONTRASTED WITH MORMON LIBERALITY. The Mormons on joining their society, give up one-tenth of all tlieir actual property, and ten per cent, of all their income ever after.— We contribute $18 per year for each communi cant. Allowing a due proportion to simple at tendants, the rich might give ten times the amount, or $180, and not feel the deprivation. TUE LUXURY OF TIIE NIGGER. The expenses of our late war were about $5,- 200,000,000—that is, twice the present nation al debt- for every State, county and family has a "debt of its ojvn. This would have built 520,000 phun, substantial wooden churches, costing $10,000 and seating 1,000 each, or 520- 000,000 people, just oneVhalf the population of the globe, which would doubtless make the other half Christians also. 1 A Serious Family History. END GF THE GARDINER WILL CASE—JIBS. TYLER COMES OFF SECOND BEST. A will case lias just been decided by the New York Court o( Appeals, which, from its own importance and the celebrity of one of its par ties, will exercise general interest. In 1842 or '43, Miss Jj.ilia Gardiner, of Brooklyn, married John Tyler, then acting President of the Uni ted States. During the war Tyler died, leaving his wife a large but not very available proper ty, consisting of lands on the peninsular of Virginia, and a “baronial mansion,” as they call them there, built of clap-boards, and con taining perhaps a dozen rooms, near Hampton. On the death of Tyler, his widow returned to Brooklyn, and contrived to turn her brother, David L. Gardiner, and family, out of their mother’s house, and to usurp an absolute pow er over the failing faculties of the aged Mrs. Gardiner. The family property was large, and on the death of Mr. Gardiner, the elder, had been very equitably bequeathed; but all the heirs deeded back their bequests to tlieir moth er, so that the estate all lay in her hands. We only recite the facts as they are stated in the decision of the highest judicial tribunal of New York, when we say that Mrs. Tyler so j ? Grand Army of teJ Refublk Adj. Gen.’s Office,N. York.

Staff officers will be en rolled as members of posts, and reported by the posts to which they belong as upon de tached service. . By order of the Grand Commander. Official: Frank J. Bramhall, Assistant Adjutant General. D. Van Schaick, Aid-dc-Gamp. INTERVIEW WITH ONE Ol’ TBfc COMMANDERS. In order to ascertain from an official source the avowed objects and character of the organ ization, one of the reporters called last evening at the office of the commander of the forces of the District of Manhattan, in the Bible House, and finding the apartment closed proceeded to his house in Fifth avenue, when the following dialogue ensued, which the reader will find bears out the assertions which form the preface of this article: Reporter, (handing the Colonel a copy of the above “general order”)—There is a report to the effect that the Grand Army of the Republic, to which reference is made in these orders, has been raised for Radical purposes, and that it is designed to be used against the President and bis adherents, should any trouble result from his proposed impeachment. Commander—If Congress should impeach the President, I have no doubt as to which side the Grand Aflmy of the Republic will take. Reporter—Will you please tell me what’ are its objects, and when it vyas formed ? Commander—It had its origin some time since in portions of the West, where there is no militia. Its objects are of a benevolent character ; it aims to assist all its mAtibers who may lie in need. Reporter—How many men arc there enrolled in the organization ? Commander—Over five hundred thousand. All soldiers litfcralily discharged are admissi ble. We have Democrats and Republicans in our ranks ; but all the leading officers are Rad icals, so you can imagine how the army would be wielded in case of any national necessity. Reporter—Then the army may be said to have a Radical character in the main ? Commander—Yes ; it is under Radical offi cers, and if there should be any necessity for its services, I have no doubt they would be elective.franchise to “every freeman of the age of twenty-one years and upwards,” which was rejected—ayes 7, noes 12. Mr. Muse offered a bill in lien, very nearly the same as that offered by Mr. Trimble, which was rejected—ayes S. cots 12. The bill was then passed on its second read ing by the following vote: Ayes—Messrs. Cate, Cypert, Keitfl, Me ill wee. Nelson, Powell, Smith, Scuter. Spence, Trimble, Patterson.

David was poor; Julia had a large estate in her own right; but David was allowed, after Julia's death, to have his equitable share, pro vided he would- in the meantime pay off debts and mortgages on the estate to the amount of $50,000; and, moreover, make good, or induce the Government to make good to Julia all losses which she had suffered by theoccupation of her Virginia property by the United States troops. The Surrogate refused to admit this queer will to probate; the Supreme Court reversed this decision; and the Court of Appeals, in turn, sustained the Surrogate, so that the will is broken, and the estate is to be divided on equitable principles. * The Court of last resort decided that while Mrs. Gardiner was undoubt ed! v competent in mind, she had been sub- jected to improper influences by Mrs. Tyler.

When the fact is realized that it is unnecessary to create “military departments” fora “be nevolent” organization, the object of the ar my, in the present crisis of the country, will be found apparent. Negro Suffrage in Tennessee. Tennessee is the fir A State in the Union, South cr North, to bestow unqualified suffrage upon the entire negro male population. She has the h'onor of beating the Radicals at their own game. The bill Dossed the House last week and was acted ufia the Senate Thmsday last. We annex the proceeding of the latter body: On mot: >n of Mr. Senter, House biH No. 80-3 (the .franchise bill) second tim< Provisions of the Tennessee Militia Sill. Tlie bill enrolling the militia of this .State, j and the formation of a State Guard, provides | in section, tint. for the immediate enrollment of i all able-Inched male persons between the ages | of eighteen and fluty-five with the exception of idiots, bin -ties and convicts. The officer;: | for this duty are to be appointed by the Cover- 1 nor ; and the enrollment is to be renewed i:i ’ October nf each year. Section saxaul provides. That the Volunteer State Guard of the Side of Tennessee shall consist of one regiment of cav alry or infantry organized of volunteers from the enrolled militia in each Congressional Dis trict represented in the Congress of the United States, half of winch regiment maj* be compos ed of colored men if more than one-tliiru of tlie enrolled militia of such district shall be colored infin ; and no person shall be an officer, or a private in said volunteer State Guard who shall be disqualified for, or exempt from, en rollment in the enrolled militia or shall ever have voluntarily borne arms against the United States, or shall have voluntarily given aid. countenance, counsel or encouragement to per sons engaged in armed hostility thereto, or shall have sought, or accepted, or attempted to exercise tlie functions of any office whatever under any authority or pretended .authority in hostility thereto, or shall have yielded a vol untary support to any pretended government, authority, power or constitution within the United States, hostile or inimical thereto. Section third provides that the organization shall take place by companies, each member of which shall swear and tile the regular, retros pective, pluperfect loyal oatli. The companies are authorized to elect line officers and form into regiments, brigades and divisions ; their elected officers to bo commissioned by tlie Gov ernor, who is made commander-in-chief, with the power to appoint an Adjutant General as Chief of Staff, with the rank of Brigadier Gen eral, and also full staff. Section fv. rth provides that the period of ser vice in the Shite Guard shall be for three years. The force is placed under the immediate com mand of the Governor, who has power to or der all or any poftjon of it to any point in the State. He is only subject in his disposition of it, to the control of th<? laws in regard to it passed by the Legislature. The ensuing sections of the bill to the twen ty-second pertain to thc details of tlie organi zation. That section and the remainder makes it the duty of the Governor to use this force in execution of the laws, when the civil authori ties are from any cause, inadequate, to repel invasion and suppress insurrection against the State or the United States, to organize the vol unteer State Guard for the protection of the peaceable people of the State ; and to bring to justice all outlaws, murderers, thieves and oth er offenders, "whenThe civil authorities refuse, neglect, or from any cause fail to do so, and to protect the well-disposed people against thc vi- olence'of those wl;o have been in rebellion against the authority and laws thereof, made and provided for the government of the peace able and well-disposed citizens, it shall be the duty of the Governor to withdraw the troops as soon as it can be done with safety to the well disposed citizens of said county or counties, in onler to relieve the State as far as possible from any tax that might be otherwise oppress ive. This the substance of this despotic scheme of the Radicals to set aside law and substitute military force in the government of Tennessee. It will entail millions of expense, and produce in ten-fold degree, the trouble which it is pre tended as The means of preventing. It is thc most mischciyous proposition ever offered in the Legislature. The pretexts upon which it is urged are unfounded. The real object is the retention of power in the bands of the Radicals. This bill if made a law, (which will undoubt edly be done) and enforced will beget tumbles that will outlive the generation in which they take their rise, and will exert upon the pros perity of the State a most pernicious influence. A Wonderful Cat.—There is a gentleman in this city, we repress his name out of respect for his modesty, who owns a most wonderful cat. The animal came to his house nearly two years ago, apparent^ astray, without home or friends, aud it first attracted his attention by its strange freaks when any one would play on the piano. It would run under the instru ment the moment the music commenced, dance around apparently iu the greatest ecstacy, at the same time uttering a most peculiar and plaintive sound—much resembling the warb ling of a certain bird. The gentleman would sometimes play an accompaniament to tlie pianG cn the flute, and Jhis at first would al most set the cat wild, causing it to increase the peculiar sound that it always made when th.e piano was being performed on. And in a very short time it seemed to have fully learned the accompaniameat, and now can imitate it so well that in the adjoining room R would deceive any one into the belief that a flute was actually being played upon. This wonderful animal can laugh and sneeze as much like a child as a veritable child itseif. There are many other peculiarities about thi3 canning little wonder, but we refrain from taxing the credulity of our readers. To the incredulous, we say, go and se^ the cat for yourselves. f Cairo Democrat. Tac toiicw VT.

The first impeachment case ever tried by the Senate of the United States was that of a Just ice of the United States Supreme Court. The accused was Judge Samuel Chase, a native of Maryland, and. in his time, one of the leading men of thc country. He had been an ardent patriot during the war of the Revolution. He was repeatedly a member of the Continental Congress, a signer of the Declaration of Inde pendence and a member of the Maryland Con vention which ratified the Federal Constitution. In 17% Washington appointeff him to the bench of the Supreme Court. Ho was a man of great ability and ardent temperament. Being a very decided aud free- spoken Federalist in ihe party contests of the day, he was particularly offensive to the Jeffer sonians. When Jefferson came into power his political friends led by John Randolph of Roa- noke, then rising rapidly into the great dis tinction he subsequently acquired as an orator, instituted an impeachment of Judge Chase.— The party character of the prosecution is suffic iently shown by the vgting on the articles of impeachment, and the collateral questions pre liminary to tlie trial. The debates did not show this ihigrantly, for the difference between the parties grew out of constitutional doctrines and tbeic was nothing offensively personal and cowardly selfish among the public men then, such as the furious disputants of this day dis- play in political warfare incessantly and shame- Iesaly. The course which thc impeachment took was by motion, Feb. 1804, for a committee of inquiry, whether grounds for impeachment ex isted. This was adopted by a vote of 81 to 40, and Re comuiitttee was appointed of which John Randolph was chairman* On the Gtii day of March, the committee reported in favor of impeaching Judge Chase. Richard Peters of the U. S. District-Court of IYnusyiyauie, had been included in the requir ed motion of inquiry, but the committee re ported that there was no ground for including Judge Peters. The House immediately appointed a commit tee to go to the bar of the Senate and acquaint that body that the House had ordered the im peachment of Judge,Chase. On the 13th of March a committee was ap pointed to prepare the articles of jmpeacbmenf. These were reported on the 26th, approved by the House, aud seven managers of impeach ment appointed. The Congress then adjourned, and the im peachment lay over till the next session to be held in November of the same year, 1804, The material charges were based on tyo ju dicial acts of Justice Chase, while holding Cir cuit Courts—one in Pennsylvania and one in Virginia. The two cases in which tlie delin quency was asserted, were the famous trials of John Fries, for treason, and of James Thomp son Callender, for sedition. These figure among the most exciting topics of discussion during the whole period of tlie struggle be tween the Federalists and the Republicans. The Fries case was fried in Philadelphia.— In the spring of 1779 an insurrection broke out in Bucks and Northampton counties, Penn., against the execution of the United States law for assessing and collecting direct taxes. John Fries was indicted as a ringleader, and tried on a charge of high treason. On his first trial his counsel pleaded, that, resisting by force a particular law of the United States, does not amount to levying wac against the United States, in tlie meaning of the constitution. The Court, by Justices Iredell and Peters, ruled against them, and Fries was convicted. A new trial was granted, on another ground, and on the second trial Justice Chase sat with Judge Peters. On this trial Judge Chase announced, in advance, to the prisoner's counsel, that the opinion of the court was made up on this com stitutional point, and the counsel need not ar gue it- The counsel retired from the case, and Fries was convicted without defence. It is tins ruling which was declared to bo so “arbi trary, oppressive and unjust,’’ as to demand impeachment. The other ca$e arose in the Circuit Court qf Virginia, under the sedition law of John Ad ams. That famous act made it a misdemeanor, punishable with line and improvement for any person to write, print, utter anything intend ed to ‘defame the President of the United States or bring him into contempt or disrepute.”— Under tills act James Thompson Callender was indicted for having published a political arti cle against President Adams, under the title of “The Prospect before us.” On the trial Judge Chase overruled the objection of one of the ju rors, that he had made up in his mind that the publication was seditious, and' constrained him to serve on the trial. It was also charged that he had arbitrarily, and for merely politi cal purposes', ruled out important testimony offered by the prisoner. There was a special charge to indecent parti sanship in his charge to a grand jury in Mary land. These are.the material points on which the- testimony was taken, aqd on which the the ar gument was made. The trial was called up early in December, hut it was not till the 2th of February, 1805, that Judge Chase appeared at the bar, pleaded to the impeachment, and read his defence, which was extremely able. His counsel were Messrs. Martin, Harper and Key, ox Maryland, and Hopkinson, of Pennsylvania.^ The managers for the House of Represepta tixes were John Randolph, Jr. ; C. A. Rodney, of Delaware ; Joseph H. Nicholson of Maryland; Peter Early, of Georgia ; Geo. Boyle of Ken tucky ; G." V>’• ’ Campbell, of Tennessee ; and Mr. Clark. Vice President Geo. Clinton, of New York, presided. It is only when the President isim- peached that the Chief Justice presides at the trial. .

Mr. Muse made an ineffectual motion to manner, will give 1,285 inhabitants to each square rod; and these being reduced to feet, will give about five persons to each square foot of terra jrn.na.
