AUGUSTA, GfA.
FRIDAY MORNING. MAY 10, 1868
[From the New York Sun, (Rad.)
Probable Acquittal of President Johnson.
A great deal of light has been shed with
in the last twenty-four hours upon the
probable result of the impeachment trial.
As the case now stands, there is but little
reason to doubt that President Johnson
will be acquitted.
The Washington telegram of the Sun
yesterday morning announced the fact that
Mr. Fessenden, of Maine, has written an
opinion in favor of acquittal. He holds
that the President has the right to remove
a Cabinet officer, and that Mr. Stanton Is
not included in the tenuro-of-office act.
This is the most essential point of the im
peachment ; but it is also Mr. Fessenden’s
judgment that the evidence on the other
points is insufficient; in slicu't, the articles
are not proved.
Mr. Trumbull has hitherto been relied
upon to vote for conviction, but we suppose
this reliance to have l>een without good
ground. So far as we are aware, he has
not in any way indicated the tendency of
his mind; but we think there is now suffi
cient reason for the belief that his conclu
sions will be substantially the same as Mr.
Fessenden’s and that he, too, will vote for
acquittal.
These eminent lawyers and statesmen are
led to this result from no friendship for Mr.
.Johnson, and from no doubt that his
removal would be beneficial to the country.
They would doubtless very much prefer
to go with the mass of their colleagues and
of their party; but their minds are gov
erned by their own views of the rules of
law and of the evidence presented; and
they decide as judges, without fear, favor,
or consideration for consequences.
The influence of these two Senators must
be powerful over a number of others who
are less learned in the law and less positive
in judgment, and who, in such a case as
this, would naturally look to them for
counsel and direction. In saying this, we
have no reference to Mr. Grimes, of lowa.
He decides all questions for himself, and is
governed by no man’s determination but
his own. Not so influential in the Senate
as Mr. Fessenden or Mr. Trumbull, he is
much more outspoken than either of them
as regards the upshot of the trial. He
openly declares that the President must be
acquitted.
To make acquittal sure, eight Republican
Senators must vote with the eleven Demo
crats. We have already named three.
Then there is Air. Sherman, who, when the
tenure-of-oftice act was passed, held that It
did not apply to Cabinet ministers, and who
will lie likely to entertain the same view
now. There is Mr. Frelinghuysen, of New
Jersey, who will hardly be deaf to the legal
reasons in favor ol acquittal. Air. Fowler,
of Tennessee, Mr. Henderson, of Missouri,
and Mr. Van Winkle, of West Virginia, are
understood to be strongly inclined to the
same side. Indeed, we believe that Air.
Fowler may be considered as quite as cer
tain to go that way as either of the three
Senators we first named. Air. Anthony, of
Rhode Island, and Air. Ross, of Kansas, are
also now to be classed among the doubtful;
and at this stage of the affair, and in the
existing circumstancesj such doubt is cer
tainly very much in favor of Air. Johnson.
We have, then, three leading Republican
Senators who are sure for acquittal ; five
who can hardly fail to go with them ; and
two more who are doubtful. This is ten in
all, while only eight are required for a ver
dict of Not Guilty, In addition to these, it
is possible that there are others whom the
more zealous friends ol impeachment have
hitherto counted upon to vote on their side,
but who will after all disappoint them and
give their voices for continuing Air. John
son in office. The probabilities pre thus
altogether in liis favor. (
ItiUtirtfya Sun.
Ireland and England.
Tlie adoption in the British House of
Commons ol tliu first ol Mr. (dadstones
resolutions on the Irish Church question,
by a majority of sixty-five, was announced
in our cable dispatches ol Saturday. The
remaining resolutions, it is stated, were to
have been called up yesterday. The whole
series is epitomized as follows:
First. That in the opinion of the House
the Irish Church should cease to exist as an
establishment, due regard being had, how
ever, for personal interests and the rights
of property. Second. That no new personal
rights should be created, and the commis
sion on the Irish Church should limit its
operations to matters ol immediate neces
sity pending the final action of Parliament
upon the whole question. I hird. That a
petition should be presented to the Queen,
praying that, the church patronage of Ire
land be placed at the disposal of Parlia
ment.
It was mentioned in the cable dispatches
publishes yesterday that Disneli tendered
his resignation on Saturday, but that it was
not. accepted. Perhaps, if the Premier made
such an offer, it was not without an idea
that it would be declined. This second de
feat, by five more majority than his first.,
may have inclined the minister to resigna
tion, though that is said to lie one of the
virtues he has never been given to. It is
the custom when prime ministers accept
the office to stipulate that, if beaten in the
Commons, they should lie empowered to
appeal to the country in a general election.
The present House of Commons was elected
about two years and a half ago, under
Whig auspices, which would seem to justify
an appeal to the country if Mr. Disraeii
chose to take it. The defeat of the Govern
ment party on this question is no matter of
wonder, as it entered into office (in June,
I860,) with a majority against it. If Par
liament should be dissolved, the great con
test for power will have to be decided by
the new House of Commons, which will be
elected by the reform bill of 18G7. It is
probable that in a body elected by the en
larged constituency provided by that bill,
the°majority for the disestablishment of the
Irish Church will be even larger than at
present. Whether such a measure will pass
the House of Lords is more than doubtful!
The Irish establishment receives $700,000
a year from members of all religious per
suasions in Ireland. It is true that the
Presbyterian Church is in like manner es
tablished in Scotland, hut Presbyterianism,
though not the religion of the majority of
the landholders in Scotland, is the religion
of the majority Qf the people, whilst in Ire
land the Protestants constitute only about
one-tenth of the whole population. It is
not complained of by the Irish that they
have to support a church, though no tithes
had ever been paid in Ireland to the clergy
when Henry 11. conquered that country.
But though England compelled them after
that period to support the clergy by the
English system of taxation, it was their
own clergv that they supported, and no
<rreat complaint was made. The grievance
Ts that England compels Ireland to support
an English church. So manifest has the
progress of liberal principles made this in
justice to ail men, that it is doubtful
whether any serious opposition would
be made in England to its removal,
but that the disestablishment of the
Irish church is looked upon by many
Englishmen as preliminary to an assault
upon the union of church and state in tijpir
own island. Such Is evidently the convic
tion of Mr. Disraeli, as expressed in a late
letter to a clergyman in Buckinghamshire,
in which he adds his belief that the disso
lution of church and state in England would
cause a greater revolution in that country
than foreign conquest, and charges that a
certain faction in the Church of England
(supposed to be the Ritualists) does not con
ceal its ambition to destroy that union.
This would seem to confirm what has tyee®
before alleged, that some of the most intel
ligent members of the Church of England,
believing that it would be more prosperous
if separated from the state, are willing to
see the establishment at an end. Desirable
as such a result might seem, it is more than
doubtful whether the disestablishment ot
the Irish Church would have any percepti
ble effect for a long time upon the union of
church and state in England. However
that may be, the question of the disestab
lishment of the Irish Church is one ofi- jus
tice and of right, not of expediency, though
justice and right are themselves the highest
expediency. It is curious to observe that
both Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Disraeli have
changed places upon this question, the for
mer having been in favor of the very church
policy which he now opposes, while Mr.
Disraeli, about twenty years ago, lamented
that the Catholic majority of Ireland had
to support the Protestant Church as well
as their own.
(From the New York World.
Blind Tom.
An idiot can no more be a musician than a
dumb person can be an orator, because music
is primarily the expression of those things
which not only spring from a healthy and har
monious nature, out|it necessitates the exist
ence of that unity in the interpreter, and is
itself one of the highest synonyms of orgau
ic health and harmony. Blind Tom is a musi
cian in the same sense that a wonderful mimic
is an eloquent preacher or orator. Nature, as
we bare said, has seemingly turned the strength
of every faculty in him upon the organ of
“ tune,” and we have only to imagine the re
ceptive and retentive power of such men as
can remember and repeat the whole of a daily
newspaper at one reading, diverted from sight
to sound, to get an idea of his faculty.
The one abnormal “organ,” as the phrenolo
gists call it, dominates the creature. That
sipgle power of apprehending sounds circum
scribes his whole intellectual nature, and so
wonderiully active and accute is it, at the ex
pense of all the rest, that he retains with accu
racy the idea and character of sounds in their
melodic progression and harmonic combina
tion, and seizes the dynamic as well as the
rythmic peculiarities in their most subtle
changes, and reproduces them just as he heard
them. This is masterly imitation, nothing
more. Nature has lorever prevented it from
being anything more in Blind Tom.
In coming back to us after a long, and,
doubtless, a prosperous exhibition of bis mim
icry over the ever carious but not always dis
criminating world, we were not surprised to
find on Monday night that his improvement
was eutirely a mnscnlar one. He is the same
perplexing, uncouth and incomprehensible cu
riosity that be was at the start, with more
strength in his arms and shoulders, a quicker
touch and more familiarity with the resources
of his instrument. But that be has developed
from an echo to an interpreter is not apparent
in any sense. His whole power is comprehend
ed in the statement that he reproduces what
lie hears, whether it be tbe exquisite “ somite
pathetique ” of Betbooven or a stampede oi
wild asses, with astonishing accuracy ; and we
should as soon think of defying a revcrbciatiou
as to garland this collusion of a morbid tytnpa-
nuin and a pair of steel-strung wrists with t In
wreath of high art. Sounds alone touch him.
Sentiment he knows nothing about. His bet
ter performances of classic music are effigies <>f
the thing itself, quite as remarkable, too, in
their sharp portrayal as are the grosser ele
ments of music that he seizes with the same
avidity, but only in the semblance. As for that
breath of life which must bo born of many
faculties and animate the performance as the
soul animates the living face, the critic cannot
expect it, though the public may be deceived
by the resemblance and go away with the im
pression that the wax works actually moved
and had a being.
It is but justice to the gentleman who con
ducted the performance ot Uncle Toni on Mon
day night, to say that he apparently coincides
with our views, for he took every means to
convince the large audience that Tom’s was
purely an auditory and imitative faculty. This
he did by allowing the negro to give vocal
imitations of various thiugs he had heard,
such as a political speech, and the noises made
by a traiu of cars, and upon the instrument by
imitations of a Scotch fiddler heard in Aber
deen, and of a musical box, all of which imita
tions were met with an amount and quality of
applause hardly elicited by any of the more
creditable imitations of great composers which
were more of course in the legitimate domain
of the musician. It is undeniable that We imi
tations, particularly that of a music box, on
the piano, were cnriously if not startlingly
real, and evinced the power he has of adapting
his means to the expression of what lie has
heard. It is also necessary to say that lie
performs with a quickness, facility, and power
of touch which are encountered only in masters
of the instrument. He can modulate it to the
softest breathings of an aeolean harp, or waken it
to the full delirium of racket, with perfect
ease. In truth, he can re-produce upon the
piano any sounds, natural or artificial, that are
brought to his ear, and this constitutes for him
the prodigy he is exhibited for, wit limit making
him the inusiciau people are apt to mistake him
for. What special susceptibility that is which en
ables this creature, a mere sounding gallery,
sensitive as the chemist’s testing paper to
every chango in the vibratlous of the air,
without auy knowledge of the law of beauty,
or auy obedience to the law of religion which
governs them, we leave to psychic discoverers
and post-mortem science. The etherial tiling
which we dignify by the name of art implies a
devotion not passive but strenuous, and can
only be attained, like all other divine things,
by ttie roost persevering labor, the most consci
entious and intelligent battle of years. It i«
no congenital accident, but when the aptitude
is born in a man grows only with the growth
of his belter nature iuto a creative power that
uses tones only as the pigments fit to express
his Inner conceptions. Tom’s is a receptive,
not a creative faculty. He is as wonderful a
listener as he is a performer. In the alembic
of his shallow brain there is but one process
ever going on, and it is the involuntary in
stinctive action of faculties preternatural I v
distended that deal with vibrations.
We are not disposed to speak unkindly of
this poor negro j indeed it were impossible. He
can only awaken the cninmisseration of the in
telligent listener by his most powerful repro
ductions. But we cannot help making an at
tempt to discriminate, for the benefit of those
who flock to enjoy him as a curiosity, much in
the same manner as they would any other mal
formation, between that music which is the
language of intelligence perfected at the ex
pense of thought, and guided by feeling, and
the imitation, which, while it misses no pecu
liarity of form, is utterly devoid of she serene
aspirations, the very anima which must be
breathed into music from a perfect human
soul.
Viewed as a curiosity, poured full by nature
*>f rhythm and denied all else, he is worth at
tention. His idiotic capers upon tire platform,
at which we all laugh, the animal friskiness
and dull insane intervals are amusing enough,
but it Is as a physiological phenomenon that
bis exhibition is most instructive, and if it
teach anew the law governing even Nature in
her freaks, that the undue and unhealthy exal
tation of one faculty is at the expense of tin
rest —and that a musician must be a man of foil
moral and intellectual stature, and his art the
expression not of one but all gills, it will in
some measure make amends for the avidity
with which mnslcal people swallow his empti
ness.
Samana and Alta Vela.— The bay of Sa
uiAim, for the sale of which by Bt. Domingo to
the United States there has been some negotia
tions, will hardly be bronght about this time,
yet the proposition is creating an immense
amount of quarrelling in St. Domingo, one
party making capita) out of it against the
other. One agent, Senor Pujol, came out to
negotiate, but he was hardly here before the
government that 6ent him was overthrown, and
now it is said that another, Senor Nebos, is
coming for the same purpose in behalf of the
newer government. The little matter ot Alta
Vela, however, which is now attracting so
much attention In connection with impeach
ment, and the withdrawal ot Judge Black ns
one of the President’s counsel, is a St. Domingo
affair, and until that is settled we need be both
ered with nothing more in the Dominican line.
Mr. Seward holds that the rival claims as to
Alta Vela are between two parties of American
citizens, one a Baltimore party, claiming the
guano deposits thereon under act of Cougress,
by right of discovery, and the New
York party—by contract with the Dominican
government, which asserts jurisdiction over
the island as its territory, With this view, Mr.
geward declined to fayor sending a United
States war vessel to take possession, as desired
by Jndge Slack, counsel for the Jfcil tiro ore
claimants. The Baltimore party, once in pos
session of the island, after having brought
away several cargoes, were dispossessed by
forces ot St. Domingo, the workmen taken
