K^"U. M. Turner, a colored del
the Atlanta Convention, declines to run for
Congress, on tho ground that the time lias
not arrived when it would be wise for one of
bis color to aspire to such an honor.
This is a great mistake, one into which the
gullible Turner and Ins race have been
cheated, by tbo white Radicals, who want,
and intend to have, all the offices. 2Tou> is
your time, my colored friend, or ncccr. You
may believe this or not.
Tin: Black Vote.—The New Era (Radi
cal) concedes that “the (DeaHl^ivAitttl'oT
myoiaclv vote. It can bo done if attempted
judiciously, and no ono can find fault with
tlio Democrats for so doing.”
So, tbo “scalawags” arc beginning to fear,
nftcr all, that tbe negro will find out liow he
ha? been cheated by tbo Radical Convention,
and cast bis vote against tbo party who pro
fesses so much and do so little for him.
E*? - Tho Philadelphia Age puts the fol
lowing:
“General Lorenzo Thomas wns charged on
oath of E. M. Stanton with violating the pro
visions of the Tcnure-of-oflice act. For this
offenco ho was brought before Judge Carter,
of tlio Supreme Court of tbe District of Co
lumbia. The act wns confessed by the ac
cused, and yet tho Judge discharged him
without even the form of a trial. Should
not Judge Carter bo impeached f Surely, if
Andrew Johnson is liablo to impeachment
for acting in opposition to the provisions of
an act, Judgo Carter is equally guilty for neg
lecting to hold for trial a man who confessed
to have committed the crime of which the
President is charged.”
Tite Guy Fawkes (!) Plot-.—A government
detectivo reports that the nitro-glyccriuc pur
chase, which has made so much sensation,
wns by agency of a Canada house, and has
never been in tbo United States.
IiirnAcniiEXT appears to be a slow coacb.
The correspondent of the Baltimore Sun tele
graphs : “The general impression is that the
President will be required to appear about
Thursday of next week, and that then a time,
say twenty to thirty days, will be nllowcd him
to prepare his defence, and at the expiration
of that period the trial will commence and
progress regularly, from clay to day, to the
end. Sena to adjourned.

tures or developments.
M'.ismxorov, March \ T. Jl.—No pr'-ffre.*? what
ever was made dating nearly a four hoar’s debate in
the Impeachment Court this nfterno n. Utter con
fusion prevails res-arding the mode of procedure. A
ilw.cn Senators spoke, no two agreeing upon tho de
tails 'developed during the dL-cr.siion. Among the
points made, to tho satisfaction of different speakers,
was that Mr. Wade, having an Interest, had no righ:.-
in tho Court. Deing a Senator of Ohio it was In# duty
to act Rnd vole; though Mr. M'nJo had the right to
vote, it was a matter with his own conscience; that
when tho President camo to. tho bar it was time to
make challenge': that tho President had no right
whatever to cliallengo tho Judges that tho Cocstitu
tion provided for him; that it was tho duty in organ
izing to keep tho organization pure; that if at the end
tho scales wero equally balanc: d that into which you
threw Wade’s personal interest would kick tho beam:
that they were a Court; that they were a Senate; that
with only half the members sworn they wero neither
one ortho other.
Thus tho arguments progressed until nearly five
o’clock, when a Senator remarking that Juigo Chase
had been on duty since 10 o’clock, moved an adjourn
ment. Mr. Howard objected: they had arnloforad-
journment. Tho Court was accordingly adjourned by
that rule and tho Senate was left in session. The
managers wero in attendance all tho evening, evi
dently impatient to begin work.
Large numbers visited tho President to-day,
Stanton still stops in the War Department and
Thomas goes there for his private mails.
Hovcnuo to-day $723,009.
Judgo Chase adjourned tho Supremo Court at one
o’clock for ono hour, expecting to return from the
Scnatointhat time. Not coming, Judgo Field

Organization of tile Impeachment Court.
■Washington, March 5.—House.—A bill was intro
duced providing a successor 6lioalJ tho Chief Justice
ship bccomo vacant. Tho Justice holding tho oldest
commission succeeds until a Chief is duly appointed.
A resolution to print three thouslnd extra copies of
tho impeachment articles was adopted.
Tho Committee on Banking and Currency wero di
rected to inquiro into the expediency of amending the
banking laws, so os to relievo the Stato banks in pro
cess of liquidation from monthly statements, and the
tax on circulation.
A motion was made that tho House in committee
attend with tho impeachment-managers to witness the
organization of the Conrt, but was withdrawn at the
suggestion of Mr. Bingham that only tho managers
were expected, and there wero no accommodations on
tho floor of tho Scnnto to scat the House. Tho mana
gers withdrew, followed by many members, leaving
about forty in tbo House, who proceeded with tho
Tennessee election case. For the first time forscvcral
years the Democrats found themselves in a majority
in tho IIouso of Representative!. Without concluding
the election caso, the House adjourned.
Senate.—A resolution of thanks from.tho South
Carolina Convention to Congress, Grant and Stanton,
was presented.
A bill rebuilding tho warehouses at Fortress Mon-
roo was passed.
A bill was introducod to rebuild tbo levees on tho
cast bank of the Mississippi to reclaim tho Ynzoo
river lands. *
Mr. Chaso appeared by tho committee of managers,
followed and eupportod by a number of the members
of tho House.
Mr. Wado announced that all business will bo sus
pended for tho purpose of proceeding to tho business
required by tho impeachment of Andrew Johnson,
President of tbo United States. Tho Chair will now
bo vacated for thatpnrposo.
Mr. Chase advanced, took the chair and said i “Sen
ators : I am hero in obedience to your notice for tho
purpose of proceeding with you in forming a Court of
Impeachment for tho trial of Andrew Johnson, Pres
ident of tho United States. I am now ready to take
the oath.” Justice Nelson administered tho oath
prescribed by the Scnato rules of procedure. Mr.
Chaso then administered the oath to Senators in
alphabetical order until Mr. Wado approached, when
Mr. Johnson objected to his becoming a member of
tho Court because he bad a contingent interest. A dis
cussion ensued lasting until five o’clock, when, on
motion. Judgo Chaso adjourned tho Court.
Mr. Wado resumed his scat, and on motion, the

Applause followed, which was promptly suppressed,
and the debate proceeded, when Mr. Hendricks with
drew his objection and Mr. \\ adc was sworn in and
tho organization completed.
Mr. Howard moved to inform tho impeachment
managers.
Judgo Chaso said: Before putting that question to
tho Scnato, tho Chief Justico thinks it his duty to
submit to tho Senate tho rules of procedure. In the
judgment of tho Chief Justice, tho Senate is now or
ganised as a distinct body from the Senate. Sitting in
its legislative capacity, it performs a distinct function.
Tho mombers arc under a different oath, and the pre
siding -officer is not tho president, pro tempore, bu t the
Chief Justice of tho United States. Under these cir
cumstances, the Chair concurs that tho rules adopted
by tho Senate in its legislative capacity arc not rules
for tho government of tho Scnato sitting for tho trial
of an impeachment, unless they bo also adopted by
that body. In this judgment of the Chair, if it bo or-
ronoous ho desires to be corrected by tho judgment of
tho oourt. Therefore, if it bo permitted ho will take
the senso of tho house on this question, whether the
rules adopted on tho 2d of March shall bo considered
as tho rules for tho proceedings in this body.
The Senate responded ayo, and Mr. Chaso said,
then theso rules would be considered the rules of this
body. Tho managers then entered, and at their in*
stance, on motion, a summons was issued to tho Presi
dent, returnable on Friday, 33th instant, lyvhich day
the Court adjourned, when Mr. Wado toofftno Chair,
aud after a short letftlative session, tho Senate went
into Executive session and adjourned to Monday^.

A Well Managed Railroad—Deserved
Compliment.—The*Georgia correspondent
of the New York Herald, in a letter written
from this city February 2G, thus speaks of
tho Macon & Western Railroad :
To rido upon a clean and comfortablo railroad
car in the South Is qnlto a luxnry at the presi nt
tJrae. From Washington to Atlanta, excepting
those of tbo State road only, cars are most
wretched apologies for vehicles of transportation,
although tbo various companies arc not backward
ln*cbarging just what they please. I have, how
ever, at length discovered one road in Georgia on
which a person can travel without having Ills gar
ments tilled w ith vermin that have been accumu
lating there since the outbreak ot the rebellion.
As my fate was duly paid 1 can, without being sus
pected of having been a “dead head," give just
praiso to tbe Macon A: Western Railroad.

Twaddle.—Even ns wise a man ns Thur-
low Weed can sometimes prove hhmsoif «.
fool, nnd a very small one nt thnt. Such
twaddle ns follows, from the Commercial Ad-
vertiscr of the 2d, shows both littleness and
malignity:
General Robert E. I.ee was educated at West
Point, at the expense of tho Government. He
was a Virginian, nnd inherited a military name.—
Accomplished und popular, he rose tapldly In the
army. Secession found him the confidential offi
cer upon the s'all ol General Scott, where he re
mained, trusted with every army secret, unnl the
rebellion was inaugurated and his services were
required by Jellcrson Davis. He then, to thecon-
steruation of his confiding chief, descried his
country and its flag, leaving the army, in which he
had bei-ti cherished and petted, to take thu com
mand of a rebel army, turning his face and his
a word against the Government and Union. For
such desertion, private soldiers are tried, con
victed and s rot. For such desertion, with cir-
cumstanees mitigating the offence. Marshal Ley,
after the war ended, was tried, convicted aud
shot.

Tnz Herald on Impeachment.—On Sun
day last—before the vote was taken on the
impeachment articles—the Herald thus spoke
of the allegations;
These articles reported by the committee
have yet to be adopted by the House, and if
we did not know that party spirit rather
than respect for its own character ruled in
that body, there would be reason to hope
that it would never rest its position befort
the country on such a farrago of puerility and
that impeachment would die from inanition
in the very House in which it began its mi,
em'olo career.

A Warning to Gay and Festive Country-
Cusses*
Hardly a week da[>ses that some gay and fes
tively inclined individual from tbe toorural dis
tricts is made not only to see the city elephant,
but feel of his proboscis in anything but a gentle
and pleasant manner. The lastcise of this kind
happened in this wise:
Mr. Goodaswlieat, h .ving disposed, of his cot-
ting, started out to have a high old time, and see
the sights.
As the aforesaid sights are best viewed through
the inverted bottoms of glasses conveniently kept
in spots about town f; r the benefit of inquirers
for the.elephant, he viewed them frequently; uutil
satisfied with the looks ot that animile, he con
cluded to satisfy his researches in the animal king
dom, by having a little brush with a “tiger.” The
be:u‘. he encountered, though, was not of the
Royal Bengal species, btit a small but dangerous
varmint kept in tbe back room of a small out-
skirt groceryc.
A li.tic game was proposed, and went into by
the inuizy individual, upon whom the extract de
lightning was proceeding to operate powerfully.
After losing awhile, the old fellow concluded it
was too “dead an open and shut” game, and get
ting belligerent, clubs camo in as trumps, and the
old fellow was knocked out of time and money in jumpers arrested. Our planting friends hidh T
two licks. Ilis scalp was so severely cut, aud iiwii thin sfivk.,.. iiri.-sm hnit. ^ . ™-
bled so proiusely,- that a doctor had to be called
to dress it.
He appeared in Court before His Honor yester
day, to make a eonnter-ebarge against his opponent
who had him arrested ior disorderly condnct and
fighting. The old fellow’s story was to the efiect
that he entered the groceryc with oyer 4S0, and
came out battered and braised with only $0 in his
pocket. He had a contused knot on the side of his
head bigger, we’ll bat, than any he has received
from the old woman in fifteen years of married
life. WbUe his assailant was taxed ?20 and costf,
tomakeliiih remember the lesson better; he was
required to fork over §10 and costs for folly in
voluntarily encountering the “ striped beast, ’
though he had got terribly scratched.

A party of tlireo boyslin blue, filled and crazed with
"blue ruin,” stormed a negro ranch", near the Vino-
villo Branch, and madethe disreputable colored femi
nines "git up and git,” out of tho back windows.—
Finding tho doors fastened, they shattered the locks
by firing through the keyholes with their pistols.
This house has long been a nuisance to tbe neigh
borhood, and though wo do not justify its forcible
breaking up, yet would bo inclined to view leniently
tbo conduct of these whisky-crazed soldiers, had they
been content with this work.
In their pursuit of tho negro wenches, however,
they entered the house of a respectable white family,
all the female portion of which fled at their approach,
except an agod lady, who concluded to stay with a
male member who lay in the last stages of tonsutnp-
tion. In their blind fury they are said to have treated
tho sick man very roughly, forcing him from his bed,
but allowed him to return to it, without further mo
lestation, at the earnest solicitation of the old lady.
In the meantime, tho Police had been notified of
tho row, and a party of them immediately proceeded
to tho sceno of disturbance, and commenced chasing
the riotous soldiers for the purpose of capturing them
and turning them over to tho Post Commandant for
punishment. About this time the Post Surgeon, with
a small guard, happened to bo passiag on their way
to camp, when the officer immediately ordered his
mpn to assist the police in arresting the rioters; hut
tho polico had already captured tho disorderly sol
diers, and were bringing them towards the guard.
On approaching, one of the drunken soldiers is said
to have struck tho Surgeon, who thereupon knocked
