A Statistical Clergyman—Money Spent

Rcy. T. 1L Thorpe recently preached a stun

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 :

Not long since, a new organization, called
“ The Grand Army of the Republic,” was form
ed in even - city and State in the Union. 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.

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 ?

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. Robinson and Speaker Frierson—13.
Nees—Messrs. Corrigan, Frazier. Johnson,

man was not allowed to see her ; that David j
was not informed of the impending death of |
his mother: and, finally, that he was omitted
in the will and Julia got Lie whole property.
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.

vrliose replies show that this new army may be
used at any time at the beck of Congress, to
sustain its policy by force, and to silence
all
opposition to thc impeachment of the President.
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:

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.

The First Impeachment.
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. .

rod being scarcely sufficient for ten graves, j
with each grave containing one hundred and i
twenty-eight persons. The whole surface of our

Thirtv four S -nators were present.
A majority of the Senators pronounced him
