A GREEN RIVER PACKET CoMPANY.-We
mentioned, the other day, that move
ment was on foot to organize regular
company to establish regular line of
packets, TO run between this city and Bow
ling Green, KY, on the Green and Barren
Rivers. This is matter of such vital i'm
portance to the city that every business
man here is personally interested. The
trade of the Green River country is one of
the most valuable that lies within the
reach of this city, and the one for the pos
session of which we have the most for
midable rivalry to contend with. This is
the natural and most convenient market
for the productions of that region, as well
as the best and most convenient source of
supply of merchandise for the people Of
the Green River country. This is their
natural market, both to sell and to buy,
and the possession of their trade depends
solely on our own people. If we make it
their interests clearly to come here, as by
proper management we can, we may defy
all competition. Nine-tenths of the tobac-
CO crop of that region comes to this city
for shipment East or South and all this is
handled by our citizens We should sup.
ply that whole region with dry goods, gro
ceries, boots and shoes, and indeed with
all they need y5 ..,l 5fla. he.
Louisville is making great efforts to win
from us this rich trade. They have a
steamboat plying from Louisville to Bow,
ling Green, and a railroad between the
same points. Both these lines are being
used directly against the Interests OF
Evansville, and will be successful unless
our people arouse themselves to.the neces-
stiles of the case and do their duty. The
first step is the establishment of a regular
line Of good packets that shall be regular
and responsible.
Capts. Drinkwater and Edwards have
not the capital necessary to contend
against this formidable competition, and
now ask our citizens to join them in Sc
curing the interests of the city. We hope
they will be successful. 1t is simply ques-
ktion to sour merchants-NTill you secure
the rich trade of the Green River country,
or win you tamely hand it over to q rival

impeachment.

But besides treason and bribery,
President is liable to impeachment for
acts which do not amount to any crime
whatever, but are mere misdemeanors.
Can there be any more fragrant INSIDE
meanor in Vice President than to
appear in state of maudlin drunken
ness to take the oath of office Is it
not a misdemeanor for President of
the United States to tolerate a female
pardon-broker in the White House, or
to make speech to rebel mob, accus-
ing Congress of treason in resisting his
plans of admitting Representatives of
the public enemy with whom We are at
war, into the nations councils? Ifnot,
the word misdemeanor is surplusage in
the Constitution. Whether it is prac-
ticable to impeach the President, and
what would be the consequences of his
impeachment, we leave to future discus
sion. We believe we have shown that
ON the simple merits of his action he
deserves to be impeached by the House
of Representatives, tried before the Sen
ate, convicted and removed from his
Office for treason, bribery, and other high
crimes and misdemeanors."
The above is from an editorial in the
Chicago Tribune, Republican paper,
on the propriety of impeaching the Pres
ident, to remove him from office There
can be no doubt that the Radicals are
crazy enough to undertake it if they
have no other way to carry out their
schemes. The crime which President
johnson has committed, which is un-
pardonable in their eyes, is that he ven-
lures to differ with the party which
elected him to Office, or to havean honest
opinion of his own. The truth is they
selected him as their candidate, as war
Democrat, toobtain Democratic strength,
which Mr.. Lincoln could not command;
and if he Tylerises them, they have to
blame themselves.

CONGRESS-.

Two important measures finally pas
sed Congress on Monday. The loan
bill, from the House, was passed in the
Senate by a vote of 36 to Z, and only
requires the Presidents signature to be-
come a law. The civil rights bill, which
last week passed the Senate over the
Presidents veto, was called UP in the
House, and also passed that body by the
required two-thirds vote-yeas 122, nays
Al. 1t is, therefore, law, and takes
effect at once. Ofthe Maryland mem
bers, Messrs. Francis Thomas and John
L. Thomas voted for the bill, and Mes
Sis. Harris, Mccullough and Phelps
voted against it. The House adopted
resolutions instraotihg the judiciary
committee to inquire if any legislation
is necessary for the trial Of Jefferson
Davis and others ON the allegation of
completely in the murder of President
Lincoln. A communication was received
from the Secretary of War stating that
the cost of deepening and widening the
ship-channel from Fort McHenry to the
mouth of the Patapsco river would be
S2,107 ,000.-Boltimore San.

THE FENIANS.

Stevens, the Head Centre of the Fe.
mans in Ireland, who escaped from pris.
on in Dublin, and baff1ed all the efforts
of the Irish police to discover his place
of concealment, lately escaped over to
France. He was at Paris on the 18th
of March, where he was the guest OF
John Mitchell. He was to leave for this
country Immediately, where he will aid
in reuniting the Fenians in this country.
The people of Canada have been fire.
quently alarmed by false reports of In
visions by the Fenians of this country,
and have had a large force of militia I'M

A hoax was started in New York
about large force of them completely
armed having sailed to seize on the Is
land of Bermuda, and grearpromises are
made of something being done soon !;
but it is difficult to tell whether thew

Manufacfmres.

1t has been for a long time understood
that the time would come when this
countrywould be independent Of foreign
fabrics Of every kind as. much SO as Of
supplies of cotton, wheat, coal, or iron.
When that time should come, then an
excise on manufactures, it was consid-
cred, would pay the whole expendi-
lures OF the Government: This excise
would be substitute for duties on i'm
ports. This theory was put forward by
Mr, uutnrle when Secretary of the
treasury ana before that by Senator

The civil Rights, IsiIf.

On Friday last the Senate, after an
exciting debate, passed the Civil Rights
Bill over the Presidents Veto by vote
of 33 to Is. Senator Wright of New
Jersey, though still sick, was present
and voted to sustain the Veto. Senator
Dixon, of Coma was in Washington and
too i'll to attend Mr.. Morgan of New
York, contrary to expectation, voted
with the majority. By turning out
Senator Stockton of New Jersey, and
waiting to get the New Senator from
Vermont in the placeof Mr. Foote de-
ceased, they were able to secure its pas
sage. They were quite jubilant over
its passage.
Mr.. Lane of Kansas, supported the
President and had a very spicy debate
with Mr.. Wade of Ohio, who had made
a-severe attack on the President. He
said the Republican party was crumbling
to pieces in consequence of their not
supporting the Presidents policy. OF
the Senators of Maryland, Dir. johnson
sustained, and Mr.. Creswell opposed the
veto. It.has yet to pass the House by
a two thirds vote but we presume they
will have little difficulty there as the
Radicals are even stronger there than in
the Senate.
What will be the result of this we
know not. We believe it to be an en-
croachment on the rights Of the States
which will not be sustained by the PEG.

By the arrival of the steamship
Atlantic, at New York, we have advices
from Europe to the Goth ult. The
steamship England has also arrived off
Halifax, but was Immediately ordered
to the lower quarantine, as she reports
one hundred and sixty cases of cholera
on board, and forty deaths. Among
the passengers by the Atlantic is said
to be an accredited agent of the Irish
Fenians. This agent accompanied
Stephens in his flight through England
to Paris. The latter is probably now on
his way to America Mrs. Stephens
was prevented from embarking at Cork
for this country by the watch which was
kept over all vessels at that port. She
therefore returned to Dublin, and pas
sed from thence through England to
Paris. The agent just arrived reports
two hundred and fifty thousand men in
Ireland waiting for orders to rise. We
are also told that tho British army in
Ireland is forty thousand strong, and
that about one half the troops are
Fenians.

B@At a meeting last week of the
Copperkeads, rebel sympathizers and
returned rebels of Kent county, held in
Chestertown, for the purpose of fixing
upon some plan to get control of the
State again, series of resolutions were
adopted, from which we take the fol-
lowing
Resoloed, That the present Registration
Law of Maryland is unjust and oppressive,
and stain upon the honor ofou State, and
in its administration has been productive of
the greatest wrongs, we therefore recon-
mend that State Convention shall be called
to meet in the city of Baltimore or Frederick,
for the purpose of thorough organization, to
secure its repeal.
We hope the above recommendation
will be reconsidered before said Conven-
ton assemblies and the word aFreder-
lex" stricken therefron,. The people of
| this city are sick and tired of rebel
meetings. We have already too many
| rebels in our midst to make it desirable
to have them concentrated here from
other quarters of the State, even over
night.
The above is copied from the Freder-
lick Examiner of last week as a sample
/ of the intolerant spirit of the Maryland
Radicals. If we did not see such ex-
hibitions of party malevolence published
we could not believe them possible.
Surely the opponents of these Radicals,
constituting, We believe, large majori-
| ty of the people of the State, have some
rights and feelings deserving of respect
full treatment at least. 1t is shocking
to contemplate, that when multitudes Of
our citizens are unrighteously disfran-
chised, peaceful assemblage of the
people, designed to procure redress of
such grievances, should be hooted at by
the mouth pieces of minority that now
rule only by popular suferance. Even
had the masses of the Democratic party
in Maryland been actual rebels, which
they were not, their popular meetings
should be treated with more considera-
ton, if it be ut all desirable to restore
the people of the State to the happy
condition they were in before the pcsti-
lent course of Northern Radicals dcs-
troyed their harmony.
1t is aproyerb that ''whom God wishes
4
to destroy he first dement's 5" and per-
haps, in order to bring things right
again in this State, it is necessary for
those in power to conduct themselves in
the most extravagant manner. 1t is
is thus, by the continued folly of the
Northern Radicals, they put cudgel
in the hands ofPresident johnson and
compel him to break their own heads
with it. So, in this State, the party
which fancies itself inyincible under
the cloak of loyalty adroitly thrown
over them, like the lions skin in
the fable, will wake up some
time to the melancholy truth that
theonce despised "Copperheads, ,Trai-
tors" and "Rebel sympathisers" Of Ma.
ryland far surpass them in loyalty to
the existing government, and WELD the
power of the State much more gracious
ly than their illustrious predecessors. 1t
o.
is said-''a word co the wise is sufficient
But we are talking to those, we think,
who never learn; and perhaps it is best
now that they should not be able to re-
trace their steps
