HE EXCITEMENT IN BALTIMORE. =

The San, OF Friday, says:
The Governor gives his opinion in
full IN relation to the malfeasance of
Office on the part of the old Police
Commissioners, and completely JUS
titles himself in appointing new ones.
He concludes his decision as follows:
The evidence in the case proves
beyond q doubt that the Police Com
mlssioners have violated the law and
rendered themselves liable to the
charge of misconduct in office:
1. BY creating OF permitting to
grow up under their eyes, and with
their completely, q violent partisan
organization, treating all as disloyal
who do not adopt the views of the
radical party.
,. BY denying the right of the
Governor to entertain jurisdiction of
the charges of official misconduct as
preferred against said Commissioners.
3. BY appointing to Office, both as
judges Of election, special policemen
and clerks, exclusively from their own
party, and in many instances incou-
petent, and in some of the precincts
of the most disreputable characters,
and denying appointments to any
other class Of our citizens.
4. BY delegating to the marshal
and officers under him the power to
appoint special policemen, without
themselves inquiring into the qualifi-
cations or moral standing of Aid
officers, thus attempting to throw the
reSpOnSibilitv Of had aDrOintmantc
which they were ready to accept,
upon their subordinates.
5. BY suffering the judges OF. elec-
ton to throw aside the boxes for re-
jected ballots, and giving them no
advice as to their obligations under
the law to use them, and refusing to
remove them from Office for so mani
fest violation of duty.
Every phase of this investigation
shows how utterly regardless the Po-
lice Commissioners have been of their
plain line of duty

Gov. JENKINS ON THE AMENDMENT.
In his message, Gov Jenkins, of
Georgia, discusses the constitutional
amendment. OF the third and most
Objectionable clause, he says:
The objection now urged against
the amendment is, that it will fall
upon citizens inhabiting one latitude
like an avalanche from its mountain
perch, crushing where it settles:
whist upon those of another latitude
it will alght unfelt, like Il feather
floating in still air.
The third section engrafts upon the
fundamental law new disqualifica-
ton for office, State and Federal-a
disqualification not the result of any
act to be done after the adoption OF
the amendment, but consummated
before its conception. The act en-
failing disqualification for Office con-
slsts in having heretofore taken an
oath to support the Constitution of
the United States, and having there
after engaged in rebellion or insur-
rection against the same, or E'having
given aid and comfort to the enemies
thereof" Considering the number
of onr citizens who have taken the
oath under the circumstances set
forth, the number personally engaged
in the war, and the breadth of ground
covered by the words ''giving aid and
comfort to the enemies thereof" we
can readily perceive the sweeping
character of the disqualification It
is as distinctly proscriptive as if the
persons to be affected had been ascer-
tanned and their names Inserted.
Let it be noted, also, t. at the pro-
scribed are ell dwellers on one side of
a certain geographical line, whilst
the authors OF the prescription have
their local habitation on the other
side
1t is quite remarkable, moreover,
that there is in the entire section no
saving clause in favor of those who,
i'll the interval Of the cessation of
hostilities and the adoption of the
amendment, may have received the
amnesty Of the Government. Par
doned they may have been, but dis
franchised they will be.
You are asked to give your consent
that such fate be visited upon many
of your best citizens, who have long
enjoyed the public confidence, and
some Of whom now fill important
public trusts. Can Georgia spare all
of these from her service?

The Impeachment or the prcsiacnt.


A great deal has been said lately by
the radicals about tho impeachment
of the President The following we'll
considered views on the subject are
from the Albany E'oening Jommal,
Republican paper of ability:
eff an impeachment were ordered,
it would not be merely the trial of
Andrew Johnson, but also the arraign-
ment of party which represents q
very great and exceedingly active mi
nority "a large majority, counting the
South in, of the American people.
That party accepts the President as
it's leader and exponent. 1t sustains
his policy with energy and determina-
ton. 1t defends, upon what it calls
constitutional grounds, the very acts
which are relied upon to justify the
process of arraignment. Itsays that
any attempt to withdraw this power
from the Executive would, in itself,
be usurpation. We cannot doubt
that, if articles of impeachment were
to be prepared, the Democracy would
consider itself as having been placed
at the bar-would repuaiate the judg-
ment as the illumination OF one party
against the other, and would stand
ready to uphold the President in a
refusal to submit, though that refusal
should result in civil war, as would be
most likely, in the excited state of the
public mind, certain to prevail.
''Lct us imagine tho condition of
affairs: \ chief magistrate con-
demned by court whose jurisdiction
is denied, at the outset, by several
millions Of American citizens. He
refuses to obey process. The Senate
declares him out of office; but he
persists in the exercise of preroga-
tive Congress, then, representing
the Government, undertakes to oust
him; but he summons to his aid what
military he can command, and pre-
pares to test the question of force.
Meanwhile, the violence and turbu-
lence engendered at the national capi-
tai, extend through every section Of
q country not yet fully recovered from
the delirium of war. Parties are de-
veloped in each town, city and ham
let, holding excitedly to the most
pronounced opinions on one side or
the other, and ready to fight for those
opinions. A spark might at any mo-
ment drop into such magazine, and
then-what then? We of the North
yet hardly know what-civil war means.
as they have learned it, who have
seen street divided againststreet, and
family against family law OblitnrotoI
order destroyed, civil securities over
thrown, and neighbor arrayed in NOR
tai enmlty against neighbor."

The New York Erepiny Express, of
Saturday, states that six ocean steam
ers left that port on that day-four Of
which We're destined to Southern
ports-one to Charleston, one to Sa-
vannah, one to New Orleans, and one
to Galveston-and adds. ''The
Southern steamers.go out full of pas
sengers, Southern families, chiefly,
who have been spending the summer
North" That's the way the money
goes from Southern purses to North
ern safes In this respect, the South
has played the fool long enough. 1t
is time to stop it.

At late meeting in New Orleans,
Mr.. Roselius stated that, since the
close Of the war, property in New
Orleans has advanced to double its
former value, owing to tho surplus
Of Northern capital, and the influx of
enterprising people from the North
who were not afraid to settle. Will
Mr.. Greeley go down South and make
"that Speech" safe and unmolested
as he may, or will he keep on doing
business at the North as % coward
and calumniator, with an assistant
living in New Orleans who issues q
daily coinage of calumny with perfect
impunity?

Artemus Ward, in one of his letters
to Punch, speaks of the Traitors Gate
at the Tower, which, he says, is large
enough to admit twenty traitors
abreast, and adds: "'Trters, I will
here remark, are an onfortnit class of
people. If they wasn't they wouldn't
be traters. They conspire to bust up
conntry-they fail, and they become
traters. They bust her, and they
become statesmen and heroes" Arte-
mus has become philosopher, and
has hit the truth in the case, as they
say at the shooting matches, plum
centre. The salt water voyage has
agreed with Artemus intellect.

BLOOD! IAGo, BLooD!-Accordinc
to reports from Canada, the people
Of that province are exceedingly
blood-thirsty. 1t is said that peti-
tons are coming in front all sections,
asking that no reprieve be granted to
the condemned Fenians These peo-
pie petitioning for blood are the
Black Republicans of Canada.
When the Fenians stood on their soil
IN line OF battle, their anxiety for
blood was not remarkable. They
carefully staid at home. They did
no lighting. They shed no blood.
But so soon as some Fenians were
captured, and the remainder had re-
treated, then the thirst of the Cana
dian Black Republicans for blood
suddenly acquired a vigorous exist
ence.
There is cordial fellow-feeling
between these petitioners over the
border and our own stay-at- t-home
patriots. Both are excessively anx-
ious for blood. Neither did particle
of fighting. Both waited until some
body else had ended the war, and
then their turn came.
''Blood! Iago, bloodr' is the cry of
all towards, leeches, fanatics and
sneaks, from the day of Othello to
that Of the rebellion in the United
States, and that of the Fenian inva-
sion of Canada. .-Chicago Times.

The Cincinnati Commercial, having
taunted Alabama with numbering her
panpers, the Louisville Courie,. thus
Indignantly retorts upon the foul
sheet:
This is generous. How came Ala
bama with so many paupers? The
Commercial we'll knows that they were
manufactured for her by the Northern
hordes who marched through her
borders, leaving long black trails of
desolation behind them. Because
the people of Alabama happened to
believe with the Declaration Of Iude-
pendence, that when q form Of 90
vernment becomes oppressive the
people have Il right to throw it off.
their country was invaded, their men
slaughtered, their women insulted,
their houses fired, and their whole
land devastated Their misfortunes
and not their faults have reduced
them from opulence to penury. If
they have not bread, it is because
they have been robbed of the means
to make it. If their lands are uncul-
tivated, it is because ther fences were
taken to build camp fires, their horses
and mules stolen, their agricultural
implements destroyed with ruthless
vandalism, and their lands laid waste.
Yet those who melted these depreda-
tions now taunt those whom they
have ruined with their penury.
Could meanness find a lower depth
than that?

WHAT WE MAY EXPECT. Ma
Aonal MteH1gencer says: To show what
cause Of alarm the Southern people
have from the supremacy of the radi-
cal party, it is sufficient to refer to
the alarming threats put forth by
that party, or by some prominent in
fnences in it-threats as follows:
1. Disfranchisement of the rebel
whites.
q Putting all power in the hands
Of the blacks and a few loyal whites.
8. Organizing and arming the CO.
lored people, as proposed by the
Washington Chronicle.
4. Keeping up bodies of loyal
troops at the expense of particular
localities as proposed by Southern
loyalists in their address.
5. Confscation more or less extern
sivc. Gen. Butler told the soldiers
they could start from Arlington and
go South, confscating.
6. Hanging the principal rebels.
Z. Ignoring the existing State or
carnations, and appointing military
Governors.
s. Annulling the pardons granted
by the President.
9. Exclusion OF. every person South
who had ever taken an oath to sup
port the Constitution, whether com
promised by the rebellion or not,
from all offices, civil, military or
naval

The communication from Hon. 3.
L. Perry, which we published on
Sunday morning, and which appears
in our tri-weelIy of this morning, is
one of the ablest arguments, most
comprehensive, and most convincing
in I'LL the positions taken, that we
have read among the numerous dis
QUESTIONS which have appeared on
the subject from the pens of many of
the leading men of the South.
Senator Perry has taken up the
subject, as he does all others, calmly
and dispassionately; and from his in
troductory remarks concerning the
object and ends aimed at, throughout
the complete discussionEof every sec
ton of the proposition, his remarks
and reflections are those Of a states
man, and must carry conviction to
the minds of every reader His dis
section of the third clause of the
amendment is one that cannot fail to
convince every hating South Caro-
hnian, if there be any such, that the
people of this State could never sub
NIT to such dishonor and disgrace as
that contemplated by the provisions
of this section.
We agree with Senator Perry, that
the radicals never exp ected that the
Southern people would ever adopt
this amendment. It was mere party
rese, to distract the people Of the
South, if possible, and to persuade
the North that they were Offering
very easy terms to the rebels, as a
condition to their restoration-a pro-
mise they took good care not to make.
We again commend Gov. Perry's let
ter to>a careful perusal by our readers.
INTERESTING TO LAWYERS. Judge
Clayton, of Mississippi, says an ex-
change, recently held that legal ten
der notes were such and a valid ten
der, stopping interest, when made.
That the Act Of Congress making
such notes a legal tender was consti-
tutional, and that the power to issue
such notes IS derived from the war
powers of the Government. He also
held that the suspension of the sta
tute Of limitations during the war
was constitutional and valid, and that
no suit can be maintained to recover
on note the consideration for which
was Confederate money. Nor can
any suit be maintained to recover on
note given as compensation for the
hire Of substitute in the Confede-
rate army.
a FACT WORTH KNOWING To buy

machinery and put cotton spindle
running, with looms to weave its
yarn into cloth, costs forty dollars.
With this fact, any man that knows
the multiplication table, can arrive
at the cost Of any number of spin

yarn about 200 bales of cotton per
annum. The same person can easily
ascertain how many spindles it will
require to use up the cotton crop of
the South at a given annual average,
and how much capital is required to
do it. Will the reader think about
