The wfrz Military Commission.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-The Wirz Mil !.
itary Commission lreassembled to-day
Judge. Advocate Chapman proceeded to
read his argument on charge second, allie
ging murder, in violation of the laws and
customs of war, treating the subject un-
der four heads, as follows: First, the va
rious cases of death resulting from mu-
tilation by wounds. Second, those result
ing from confinement in the stocks and
the changing. Third, the cases of kill
ing of prisoners by the guards, pursuant
to the direct orders Of the accused given
at the time. 81 Fourth, the cases of killing
by the prisoners own hands. He briefly
argued the responsibility of the accused,
and said that every death was murder
for which he is accountable, he having
grossly violated the laws and customs of
war. At the conclusion Of Col. Chip
mans reading of his argument, the priso-
ner requested that Dr. Bates might exam
inc his person in the presence of the
court, to show that he was physically in
capable of committing the acts of MUIR
der and the acts alleged against him. The
request was granted. The President then
announced that the doors would be closed
and not again opened to the public. The
court, in secret session, deliberated or
the case submitted, but nothing can be
known as the result until it shall be off
cially promulgated.

Impeachins the presiaent.

1t is rumored that the radical leaders,
Sumner, Stevens, and company, intend to
make move for impeaching President
j Johnson when Congress meets. The New
York Herald states positively that steps
are being taken, on the part of the Sum-
ner- Wade radicals of the Republican par
ty, to impeach President johnson, if he
insists upon his reconstruction policy
They have trumped up charges against
him which they rely upon as sufficient
to impeaeh him.
The Anti ti-SlaVery Standard comes up
to the work boldly, and demands of the
radical Congress the Impeachment of
the President The Standard speaks as
follows:
To-day the fruits of our victories are
taken from US and handed over to our enc
mics by a man in whom, as Gov. Perry,
of South Carolina, says, the South has
complete confidence. If the South has,
the North certainly has not.
Is there no remedy for this? Are we
to bear it for nearly five years more
Evidently, unless the House of Represen-
tatives has the moral courage to impeach
Mr.. johnson before the Senate. The
appointment of these men, and their con
tinuation in office, in open defiance of the
law Of the United States, offers sufficient
ground. Then let the House do the work
before it, and liberate us from johnson

-4as TIE TAX Payers VERDIcT-The
enormous cost Of living, now greater than
when gold was one hundred and eighty
por cent-now only forty five attracts
general attention. We published COM
munication on this subject Tuesday last,
expressing the views of the laboring clas
ses on the present high prices of food and
cotton clothing, in comparison with la
Dor. So ~
All we have to say is, that this whole
thing is in the hands Of the people. If
they GO in for high taxes, all well and
good. They have to pay them, either
directly or Indirectly. AS the majority
vote the Republican ticket, we suppose
they are ready and willing to pay, not
only the taxes--revenue, State, city and
county--but also those assessed by the
clubs 10 preserve the ascehdancy of the
Republican party Gin. Eng.

losy DarIke County was Carried
iu by the Abolitionists.

Eyerywhere throughout the State,
day or two after the election, Democrats
were curious TO know why it was that the
Abolitionists had elected their ticket in
pafke County. A subscriber writing us
from that county gives the reason. The
night before the election, the Abolition
lists got out a circular purporting to come
from tie Democratic Central Committee,
announcing that the Democratic candidate
for Auditor Of the county had been stab
Tel in an affray, and being likely to die,
sComfnittse had determined to put another
Democrat on the ticket: for Auditor, and
desiring the leading Democrats to with
hold the tickets already sent them.
20 There was some dissatisfaction in the
Democrats ranks with the nominee for
Representative. Accompanying this cir
cufar was forged letter from this candi-
date, aunouncing his withdrawal, and the
suBstitutionsof another candidate in his
place. These circulars and letters were
sent to townships remote from the county
seat, and were deemed authentic by many
Democrats; hence votes enough were cast
for the names substituted to defeat our
ca ndidates sssr Auditor and Representa-
tive. The circulars were forgeries and
the tickets counterfeit. This IS the dir
tiest plot to carry an election ever con-
ceived, and will only answer for once
The people of Darke County will be care
fill not to trust in the future any man or
men engaged In SO scandalous transac-
ton. Pldin Dealer.
