It is melancholy to uent, that it is their design to furnish THE Hl.ll UKY OK WE WMPAi'EKlt. From an interesting article on tin history o< the early newspaper press, prepared aud delivered by Col. E. A Calkins, of the St. Paul Pioneer, at thi annual meeting of the Minnesota Ed itors’ and Publishers’ Association, held recently at St. Paul, Minn , we make the following extract, showing the origin of one of the first newspapers : “In the early part of the seven teenth century, Dr. Theophraste Ren- audot was the most popular phvsi cian in Paris. Ilis success was almost miraculous in the cure of diseases that originated in disordered nerves, from mental depression, front bad digestion, from aching hearts and weary brains and there is hardly an ailing in the long inventory of our inheritance of ills but may be traced to causes like these. His remarkable cures, however, were not attributable to the efficacy of his pills, powders, purgatives, and counter-irritants. He knew all the scandal of the court and city; he was genial and loquacious, and the potions that he administered were universally spiced with the latest gossip of the times—the incidents of the day, the talk of the cafes, the juicy and piquant morsels that men and women delight in hearing about one another. Hypo chondria, gas tic pains, and nervous twinges vanished, as the garrulous leech mingled with his bolus or blis ter the ever-welcome tale of some courtier’s fall from power, some high cepted by the Convention in good faith, and it r.ow remains for the citv to make good its part of the contract. There is ho time to lose in getting ready for the meeting of the Legisla ture. Buildings have to be prepared for the two branches of the Legisla ture, a mansion for the Governor and offices for the several departments of the tytate Government. “ The people cordially approve the action of the Council in all that it pro posed to do to induce the removal of the Capital hither, and they will now be satisfied with nothing less than the fulfillment of the agreement. The Legislature will meet in a short, time, and unless Atlanta can make it comfortable, it lias the constitutional authority to remove the seat of Gov ernment, temporarily, to Milledgevilte, or otherwise, if it sees fit. We deem it advisable to provide against such a contingency. The meeting of the first Legislature under the new order of tilings ought to be held in the new State Capital. There is no risk to run in providing for it according to agreement. Atlanta is bound to be the Capital. The new Constitution will restore the State to the Union and the machinery will soon be work ing as regularly as if nothing had hap pened. Let our City Council, then, be on the alert, and see that it loses nothing by a failure to fulfill its obli gations.” When the Legislature assembles at Atlanta, it is hoped by every man in Maryland aud Pennsylvania, at a tiint when the temper of the Southern people was sorely tried. Such quali ties as he displayed could not fail, in a long run, to win the regard of a manly and affectionate people; and while we find that he was loved like a father by all those who shared his im mediate perils, we have not vet for gotten that wlieu the victorious vete rans of the North were marching home through Richmond, they burst into a splendid shout of enthusiasm as they recognized, gravely contemplating them from a curtained window, tHe familiar form and face of Robert E.

We find the following in the Wash ington correspondence of the New York Tribune “JudgeNelson, in his argument iu the summing up to-day, took occasion to advert to a certain recommendation by General Butler on the Alta Vela case.

There is just one thing the Republican party cannot af ford do—and that is an act of palpa ble injustice. The acquittal of the President would show a moderation and sense of justice, and a capacity to do exact justice in the Republican party fhat would be most credible; and that would be historically famous as illustrating tUe intelligence aud pro priety of the party. “ No one can say if Johnson is ac quitted that tlie Republican party did not dare to convict him ; for it dare do anything that becomes men. If he is convicted, they will, of course, be charged with committing a partisan impeachment. The charge will be serious or trivial, according to the popular judgment of its truth. If Johnson is acquitted, the Republicans will receive applause for magnanimity, in refraining from the harsh exercise of an undoubted power, when under most trivial character, and at the same I time privately urging him to the com- ! mission of an act which would be | clearly and undeniably a usurpation on his part of the war-making power ot i * reat provocation, and great tempta- !

THE I.ATE EV.ECTIO.ir. The result of the late election will not be made known officially for some time. Our readers must be patient, however anxious they may be, under this infliction, for it cannot be other wise. The frauds to be investigated will require time. Elections may be ordered, where, it is alleged, none were held; and perhaps new elections may be ordered in counties where it will be established frauds were perpe trated. The Military Board appointed election for Governor and members of V01Jr ! the General Assembly has been a close from the best information we have been able to obtaiu, in which, in the absence of fraud, the Democratic tick et would have been elected, negro I radicals have been declared elected ! Should these alleged truuds be substan- 1 dated, the present aspect of the Gen- j eral Assembly will be changed, and it I will be Democratic. When it is re reason, and who are the real jury— our readers know that a two-thirds vote of the Senate is required to con vict—should not do fearlessly what they believe to be right.” The Springfield Republican (Radi cal) says: “ No Republican Senator is likely to vote for acquittal on the grounds af fecting the constitutionality of the teuure-of-ofiiee act, or Mr. Johnson’s accountability under it; but there are many of them who will form an opin ion honestly and candidly, without party bias or personal malice, upon the question of intent; and the coun try will support them fully iu an inde pendent and conscientious verdict, whatever it may be.” said to the people upon the subject; wa s more comfortable than Lee’s per- show how ugly a mau could look. ‘Ah!; “\y.

The President felt most keen ly the desertion of Judge Black, and only the allusion to it made by Man ager Boutwell would have induced any reference to tbe details of the cir cumstances. This is a plain, unvarnished state ment of the facts. It will be seen that this letter of ihe managers and wit nesses for the prosecution, urging the President, under the menace ot deser tion by bis counsel, to do, at that mo ment and under existing circumstan ces, an act of at least very questiona- There are few who at once have thought and the capacity of action. Thought expands, butlaines; action animates, but narrow’s. It may afford some encouragement to a inind in distress, to remember that the narrowest part of a defile is often nearest the open field. There are some who write, talk, and think so much about vice and virtue, that they iiave uo time to practice either the one or the other. Who is Mr. Groesbeck.—Mr. Groesbeck, of the President’s counsel, seems to be a gentleman who only waited an opportunity, and needed a suitable theatre, to establish a shining reputation for abilities and eloquence. He is a New Yorker by birth, and about forty-two years of age. After studying law, he established himself in Cincinnati. The stauding he im mediately acquired as a lawyer is at tested by the fact that in 1852, when he was only twenty-six years of age, he was appointed a member of the commission to codify the laws of Ohio, his qualifications having been made known by his service the previous year in tbe Btate^Constitutional Con vention. In 1S-56 he was elected by the De mocrats of the Second Ohio District to represent them in the Thirty-fifth Congress, Mr. Pendleton being first elected to Cougress at the same time from the fust District. Mr. Groesbeck served but one term, and was on the committee on Foreign Relations. In the winter of 1S60 he was a member of the Peace Conference at Washing ton, and was elected the next year to the Ohio State Senate. Although Mr. Groesbeck has for many years been w T ell known in his own State, he had not acquired a national reputation ui* til the accident ot Mr. Black’s with drawal from tbe impeachment case supplied the opportunity of which be has made so splendid a use. The De mocratic party has many gifted men who, like him, are just entering on their vigorous prime; and when tho party comes into power there will be a harvest of talents into the national counsels.—A 7 . Y. World. The Cincinnati Commercial says a call has been issued for a conference of leading men, to be held in New York, A»n the 12th of May, in reference to re form in taxation ; the main proposi tion being to favor an abandonment of the principle of protection by tariff, and of imposing taxes for revenue only. This looks as though the Western men were becoming tired of the legis lation ot their New England task-mas ters. There is bound to be a burst up between New England aud West ern Republicans. When it takes place the South will begin to see light. Conversation is golden fruit when suffered to grow gradually on the tree of knowledge ; but, if precipita ted by force and unnatural means, it will in the end become vapid in pro* portion as it is artificial.
