Failure Of the Attempt to 1mpeach
r. Judge Miller.

Our readers, through the telegraph,
have been made aware of an attempt to
impeach Jadge MILLER of the United
States District Court of Wisconsin, by his
political opponents. Formal memorials
on the subject were presented to Congress,
and the Wisconsin Legislative Assembly
urged upon that body searching investi-
CATION of the charges. The House of
Representatives finally took the case up
and referred it to the Judiciary Commit
tee, composed mainly of those of opposite
political views to Judge MrLER, including
such men as Gov. Boutwell,, Of Massa-
chusetts, aud others.
The matter was before the Committee
nearly two months, Every possible facil-
ity was extended to these preferring the
charges, to prove them true, if there was
any truth in them, but the Chairman of
the Judiciary Committee has asked to be
discharged "from the further considera-
ton of the memorial, adding, that moth
ing appeared from the evidence to justify
any action IN Tie case!" 1t now appears,
that in the very case where it is alleged
Judge MILLER had committed the wrong,
the Supreme Court of the United States
has Just affirmed his decision.

Rebel Preaching and Practice.

The Richmond papers, az our readers
know from the quotations we have lately
published, are making ferocious outories
over the enormity of KILpATRIcKs expedi-
ton, and to give color to their charges,
have published forged orders purporting to
have been found in Col. DAHLaREN's pos
session. Judging by their virtuous indig-
nation, they would now condemn the fol.
lowing genuine dispatch, from BEAuRE-

Resolved, 1. That the Democratic party now,
as it ever has been. is devoted to the COnstitu-
ton, as transmitted to us by the trainers of
that instrument, as eXpounded by Jefferson,
Madison, and jackson, and as construed in the
Virginia and Kentucky resolutions of 1898 and
1899, and as construed in the report thereon in
the Virginia Legislature; and that, for the
maintenance of that Constitution and the pres
ervatiOn of the Union formed under it, we here,
as did the fathers of the Republic, pledge life,
fortune, and sacred honor.
ResOlred, 2. That we would hail with de
light any and every honorable effort towards q
restoration of the normal condition of this
Union. to wit: eternal peace and harmony
and fraternal affection between the sew

vent such desirable result; and we are there

uance in power.
Resolved. 5. That We are opposed to the
| prosecution Of the war for the subiuga,ion OF
States, or for the purpose of divcsting them Of
| their sovereignty, or infringing ON or impair

o"JeS'S VIII III IuC cnu prove inc uCCer OcStruc
ton of our civil liberty, we therefore demand
the immediate Inauguration ofpeaceable mean
to attain an honorable settlement and the res
toration of the Union under the constitution.
| Resolved, 4. That the mob spirit now abroad
IN our land was the inevitable result of the vi
olationS OF the constitution and the laws by TIN
party now in power. and we deem this prope
occasion to renew to our people the warming
OF Washington against lawlessness in the GOV
eminent and people The tyranny of the pre-
sent administration has sown the seeds from
which we arc now reapins a harvest OF crime

German soldiers for the Union Arm,

From the London Times, March S.
Enlistments of German soldiers for the
Federal service appear to have been pro-
ceeding rapidly OF late. One hundred and
thirty-six Germans, many of whom have
seen service, have arrived in Liverpool, to
embark for Boston tojoin the Union army.
They seem to expect rough service, but
are all anxious to receive their bounty
money, 500, before leaving England;
and some refuse to embark without it.

it seems alike clear that when the debt is
paid, out of long years of taxation on the
property and industry of the country, there
will be no more, in a financial sense, to
show for what we have paid, than the
surety on an insolvent's note has to exhibit
for what he has paid in settling up his
principals debt.
We know that some hot headed and dis
honest chatter-boxes have striven to make
the fair and honest discussion and UNDER
standing of our financial condition forbid
den ground, on which no one shall en-
croach, under the penalty Of being stig-
inatized as Oopperhead, and anathama-
tized as disloyal! But We care for none
of these, for we hold it as patriotic duty
to his country of every American citizen
to understand bis own and his nations
perils, whether present or prospective, sO'
that he may be prepared, SO far as indi-
vidual effort and provident care may
guard against them. 1t is right then that
every one shall know, once for all, that SO
long as dollar greenback United States
note is not paid and cannot be paid at par
in gold, just so long that dollar note will
not, by any device, be worth a dollar in
gold and that. whenever the people raise
the price of property of any kind, just SO
soon they depress the value of our cur
rency, so that property, after all, must in
evitably submit to the depreciation to
which taxation subjects it.
What, then, is the only remedy for the
people to alleviate the consequences We
have pointed out i? It is the duty of every
one to cheerfully, by hand and purse, sup
port the vigorous prosecution Of this war
to victorious termination but he should
look forward to the time when that end
shall come, and it is no less his duty to
use, if possible, in the meantime, his hon.
est and faithful efforts to take care of him
self and provide for his future; and we
believe tho only sure means of accomplish
ing these ends, and at the same time
warding off the waves of disaster which
threaten us, is the immediate adoption
and persistent practice of system Of
economy and prudence that shall curtail
every superhuity, and gather up every
fragment If you want new furniture,
wait till the war is over-if new gar
ment, wear out the old one first Think,
rather, how to earn and save dollar than
how to spend it, for the time is assuredly
near at hand when PooR RICHARD max
i'm, that ga penny saved is a penny
earned" will be found true.

President LincOln Presented with n
Pair of Socks.
From The Washington Republican, March q.
At the Presidential reception on Satur-
day, Major French presented to the Pres
ident pair of wooden socks, knit ex-
pressly for the President by Miss Addie
Brockway, of Newburyport Mass On
the bottom of each was knit the secession
flag !; and near the top the glorious stars
and stripes of our Union,. so that when
worn by the President he will always have
the flag of the rebellion under his feet.
These socks we're sent by the maker to
Mrs. VIM. 3. Todd, of this city, and at
her request Major French presented them
with few appropriate remarks. They
were most pleasantly and graciously re-
ceived by the President.

A VETERAN CAMPAIGNER.-We paid a
visit yesterday to the Government gun
repairing shop, under the superintendent
of Major Harding, and through his polite
ness and that of DIR. Dillon, were shown
through the shop. Among other curios-
tiles in the way of ancient end antiquated
firearms, we saw London Tower musket
made in the year l742, which, though Of
course affected by the rayages of time, and
in the old style, is still in good state Of
preservation. An hundred and twenty
years old! What an age for a gun, and
what an eyentful tale it could unfold were
it, gifted with thespower of speech It
had doubtless killed its man--probably
many-in its. day. 1t doubtless fought
through the revolution, commencing In

American liberty we cannot tell. 1t prob
ably took part in some of the Indian wars;
then in the war of 1872; then in the In
dian war of 1886 and 81; then in the
Mexican war of 1916 and '46; and lastly,
perhaps, has borne part in the present
