THE TRANSCRIPT.
Friday, january rs. 1867.
Impeachment of The President.

The proposition to pnpeach Presi-
dent johnson meets with little favor
by the Republican papers generally.
Now-and-ihen one advocates it, but q
large majority think the movement
unnecessary and impracticable 1T is
true that the President has proved
recreant to the great patty to which
he owes his present position, aud has
done all in his power to break it up;
some Of his acts have been disA raceful
and entirely unworthy the head of a
great nation; yet for all this we doubt
the wisdom of the movement. Certain
it is, that constituted as the present
Congress is, and the next will be, he
can do little harm. Re may make
"blood and thunder speeches; he
may veto important measures; but
Congress has the power to check him
in his mad career. We're it otherwise,
the necessity for impeachment would
be greater than it now is, and there
would be popular demand for it.
Mr. Johnson's term Of Office will not
Inst much longer. and it will be diff
cult for him to make himself any
more odious to the people in the fu-
.ture than he has in the past
The Judiciary Committee, to whom
has teen referred Mr. Ashley's reso-
lutions, it is intimatcd, do not sec any
just ground for impeachment, and
will SO report. How this is, remains
to be seen The House had the mat.
ter under discussion on Monday,
when Mr.. Loan, Of Missouri, made
grave charges against the occupant Of
the White House He MS much as
said that President Johnson was i'm
plicated in the conspiracy to assassin
ate Mr.. Lincoln The President had
performed his allotted part, and now
OONNplSo ~ lloo4Nicii 40 'lo ASthb'i va
the late rebels The conspiracy had
secured the Executive Department in
the interest of the rebels, and efforts
were now made TO secure the Legisla-
tive also. The speaker argued that
the Presidents efforts at reconsliuc-
ton during the vacation, and his ap-
poir tment of Provisional Governors
were usurpations. The charge Of
completely with the assassination OF
Mr. Lincoln has been more than once
made before by individuals and pa
pers; but the evidence to sustain it
has always been wanting. If there is
any such evidence it should be at
once given to the world As traitor-
Gus as Mr.. Johnson has proved &c
the Republican party, it is hard tc
believe that he was liz any way instra-
mental in causing the brutal murder
of our second Washington.

subscriber to the Montpelier Freeman or
derod his paper stopped for the reason that the
n. y. Tribune or Boston journal was 81 90 per
year. the regular price of the Freeman being
81 90. Mr. Willard published the rOte of the
subscriber with the following comments, which
We heartily endorse as truthful ana - the
point. They Will hold good in the case OF near
ly all the country weelIlies:
I'VE wonder, however, if it has ever occurred
to the very few persons who stop state paper
because its price Is a triile more than the jour
nal or Tribune. that no paper out of tho state,
however able, can take the place Of one which
gives State news, is devoted 10 State Interests,
and Is thoroughly conyersant With all state az
fairs. Four cents week may be an eNtraya-
giant price TO pay for information rotating to af-
fairs in ones own State, and those who tank it
will, doubtless, deem it wise economy to save
the penny each week, and take the journal or
Tribune.
But those who do this should not let their
economy stop here. 1t must be eXtraya8ant
folly for them to pay Ave, ten, or twenty dol
laIs ior tho support OF preaching IN their Locale
ties, when volume Of sermons can be bought
Tor a dollar or a dollar and half, and can he
read at home every sabbath, saving both sun
day attire and Sunday expenses.
There is no use in explaining tothose Who pre-
fer city weekly because it is fifteen cents
cheaper. why papor which has hundred
Thousand subscribers can Dc afford cheaper
than one with three thousand. although the
reason is tolerahly obvious.
II can get the New York Tribune
or Boston Journal for 81 50 per year,
and unless can have your paper for
the same money, / must stop it" is
remark that not unfrequent!y greets
the ears of country publishers Stu
pid people they must be, who suppose
that papers with circulation of two
or three thousand can be afforded at
as low figure as papers with q cireu-
lation of fifty or one hundred thons-
and. The city weeklies are made mp
almost entirely ont of matter which
has been used for the daiies Of he
same; consequently there is little or
no expense for composition ID is idle
for our State papers to compete with
the city weekhes, either IN price on
quantity ofleading matter; aud per
sons who will take them m prefer
ence to their local paper care little
about the news in their own State md
neighborhood As excellent paper.
as are the Tribune aud journal, the,

them We do not object to the TAX
ing OF city papers, but We think, il

his duty TO patronize his local pape

interests but those o. the State an

The BuRSINa OF THE jan AT KINGS
TON, 5. C-Ihe Charleston .Nercllry
gives a few particulars of the fearful
tragedy which took place at Kingston.
). C., on the 7th inst 1t is supposed
that the Jail was fired by the negro
prisoners confined within its walls in
the hope Of making their escape, but
their effort only worked out their en-
tire destruction. The flames from the
burning building made Kingston near
~ as light as day, and the dense clouds
Of smoke visible for many miles around.
The fire had gained so much Roadway
before 1t was discovered that its pro
gress could not be arrested. One white
man only WAS in the Jail at the time,
and he escaped; but twenty two of
the negroes persisted i'll the flames
Their shiieks and screams, as they
were gradually shut off from all hope
OF escape, were sickening to the help
less spectators In very short time
the cries and groans ceased, and OF
the twenty-five negroes nothing was
LETT but a charrel, blaekened and
shapeless mass.
