The Atheneum .

Last night, as everybody knows in this
latitude, was dismal and rainy-but not
withstanding, the Ravel Troupe had a very
fair audience, quite number of ladies be-
ing in attendance.
The pantomime of the "FOur Lovers y
was well rendered, aud elected rounds of
applause. An incident happened during
its performance which is worthy of note
Mons. Schmidt made his appearance as
MiIord Pe6," and the audience mistaking
him for Mr.. John Ellsler (whom he re-
sembles very much on the stage), gave him
ahearty welcome in the way of clapping Of
hands and other demonstrations of delight
The three Athletes, Messrs. Julian,
Phillip and Paul Martinetti, in their diff
cult and beautiful exercises, gave universal
satisfaction, as they always do in anything
they undertake. The "Grand Divertise-
ment" by Nine Marzette, Nine Desire
Matthew, Mile Julia Lehman, Mile Schmidt
and Mons. Schmidt, was charming, and
brought down the house, as did the "Grand
Pas De Trois." The entertainment was q
pleasant one, and as there will be an entire
change of programme this evening, we ex-
pect to see Old Drury" crowded to its ut
most capacity.

Another Civil War.

EDITORS OHIO STATESMAN: - John ~.
Bingham, in his speech at st. Clairsvllle,
said that if the people would re-elect him
this fall, $50 help me God, will neither
give sleep to my eyes nor slumber to my
eyelids, until l shall have drawn bills of
impeachment against Andrew Johnson"
1t has been understood for some time that
the Radicals had determined upon the hell
ish plot of impeachment, If the people
would indorse them at the ballOt-boX this
fall but they did not suppose that Bing-
ham would divulge the tiendish purpose.
Bingham, however, did before large meet
ing divulge their Internal design. The
Constitution of the United States, Art. 2,
Sec. 4, provides:
"The President, Vice President, and
all civil officers of the United States
shall be removed from office on impeach-
ment for, and on conviction of, treason,
bribery, or other high crimes and misde-
meanors."
What one of the crimes here enumerated
has President johnson committed Dare
any man specify and charge any crime
upon Andrew johnson? Not one; and
vet, these Radicals, if indorsed by the
people, will execute the infamy of an i'm
parchment. So certain as the people
will indorse the Radicals, so certain the
impeachment will follow, and equally GER
tain will be another civil war. The oath
of the Constitution, Article 2,
Sec. d. do solemnly swear that | will
faithfully execute the Office of President OF
the United States, and will to the best of
my ability preserve, protect and defend the
Constitution of the United States com
pels the President to resist with the
power of the Government an impeachment
without cause. He is cOmmander-inc chief
of the army, who with the Conservative
wing of the Republican party and the en-
tire Democratic party, will stand by the
President. If the people would avoid an
other civil war, that in blood, ruin and de-
struction, would lay the last four years
war in the shade, they must repudiate the
Radical Members OF Congress at the ballot
box. X.

1,IareInnI ConxentIon.

The Neto York Times, edited by HENRY
J. RAYMOND, Republican member Of Con-
gress from New York, on Friday morning,
administered the following rebuke to the
Radicals who are endeavoring to decry the
Cleveland Convention of Soldiers and Sail
Ors:
"The Convention of Soldiers and Sailors
which will assemble at Cleveland on Mon
day next is already an object of Radical
wrath. The names attached to the call
should have secured for it respect even
where approval might be withheld; for
they represent the military and naval glory
of the Union. There is not a holiday sol
dier among them-not man who has not
earned the gratitude of his country by SER
vice i'm its hour of peril. They are victori-
ous soldiers, too-heroes whose achieve
ments fill the brightest pages In the history
of the struggle for the nations life and
the memory of whose commands VIII
be cherished by the gallant "boys
in blue" Yet Radical Journals, like
the Washington Chronicle and PhttG-
delphid Press, are eXerting themselves TO
cover the call and its authors with odlum
and contempt. The bravest and most sue
cessful soldiers of the Union army are
scolded as so many towards and traitors,
because they insist that Congress shall not
cheat the country of the fruits OF its VIC
tory. More moderate journals on the same
side discern the folly of this unreasoniDg
partisanship, and protest against IL. They
say, with the Hartford C0urdht that "the
Union party cannot afford to become
party of BrownlOws and Stevenses;" and
urge that self-respect If no higher. princi-.
pie, dictates more courteous treatment OF
the promoters of the Cleveland Convention.
These remonstrances, however, have not
produced any appreciable change of tone.
The brave men in whose behalf Custar and
McCook, and Rousseau, and Crook, and
Meredith, and Ewing, took the initiatory
step of issuing the invitation are still
maligned as poltroons, and the Convention
Is continually held up as a movement In
the interest Of rebels.
"What adds to the grossness of the insult
is the fact that the very writers who assail
men of whom many poured out their blood
for the Union, are magnifying the import
ance of certain radical muster which Is to
come off at Pittsburgh. The promoters OF
the latter are, for the most part either stay
at-home soldiers, or soldiers who, like But
Ter and Banks and Schurz, never did any
thing to which any soldier In the army can
look back with pride. The difference be-
tween the two conventions will be the diff
ference in soldiers who wear laurels won
in battle, and soldiers who have nothing to
boast of but shoulder-straps."

Major SrINcHcoMB, editor of the Radical
Athens Messenger, who knows all about the
military career of our candidate for Secre-
tary of State, thus rebukes his Radical
contemporaries for their persistent lying:
What do our Union editors mean by
continually attacking the military reputa-
ton Of Colonel Ben LIE Fever? Isn't it
enough to know that he has cast his politi-
cal lot with the Democracy? We predict
that the counties where this continued at
tack is made on him of cowardice, will do
no more for the Union ticket than where
the fight is made on Legitimate grounds,
viz: that lie Fever is COpperhead."
The assaults ofthe Radical press on Gen.
eral LIE FEVER are making votes for him
every day.
