., The trial of m impeachment of the
President before, the Senate on charges
preferred and prosecuted against him by
the House of Representatives would be an
imposing spectacle for the world. ~ In the
result no doubt only his removal from the
Presidential office would be involved: zbnt,
what is of infinitely greater Importance to
himself, his character, both in the eyes Of
the present and of the future generations
might possibly be tarnished. The disgrace
cast upon him would, in some degree, be
reflected upon the character of the Ameri-
can people who elected him. Hence the
precautions adopted by the Constitution to
secure fair trial. On such trial it de-
clares that the Chief Justice shall preside.
This was, doubtless, because the trainers
of the Constitution believed il to be posi-
ble that the Vice President might be bias
sed by the fact that in case of the reno, al
of the President from office the same shall
deyolve upon the Vice President e,g og

THE CONDITION OF KANSAS


The true condition of the people of the ter
ritory and their necessities is coming to be
properly understood and appreciated, both at
home and abroad.
When it was first suggested that the late
drouth was to entail destituton and want up
on the Territory, it met prompt denial, both
from the fact that the real state of the case
was not understood, and that certain parties
conceived that it would seriously damage the
prospective interests of the country for the
report to gain credence abroad Gentlemen
of respectability and influence, without an
investigation of the facts, prodered their de-
malls of what has since proved unmistakably
true. 1t was not until after Mr.. Hyatt's tour
of observation through the Territory that the
real condition of affairs came to be realized,
even at home.
w hen the people came to meet in their re-
spective localities, and tell over their wants,
and the limit of their available means, it was
the occasion of mutual SURPRISE and prompt
ed energetic measures for relief Township
and county organizations were formed, and
finally Territorial organization, which may
act authoratiyely and responsibly in the mat
ter.
The people Of the States have given evid-
ence of a disposition to afford relief, and
they will be enabled to do so, with the assu-
rance that their contributions are needed, and
will be properly applied.
The facts have come to light, nor do we be-
lieve TO the detriment Of the future settle
ment and growth of the country. The drouth
of the past season, as shown by the testimo-
ny OF those long acquainted with the coun-
try, is entirely without parallel
Besides, our people, after a yicissitude of
fortune unknown to any other people--hav-
ing passed through the troublesome times of

pended their means in establishing for them
selves homes-were but poorly prepared for
this last 1--WE trust) severe stroke. They will
need and obtain help but, with their won't
ed industry and perseverance, they will yet
make glad their now desolate homes, and
fruitful their now blighted fields.
Let none despair of Kansas In the pro-
ducts Of her soil, Of unequaled fertility, in
the development of her mineral resources
not only of gold and silver, but lead, iron,
and coal-she shall surely fulfill her early
promise OF wealth and greatness.

received 3S,646, Douglass 37,3f9, Brecken-
