THE IMPEACHMENT INVESTIGATION
The House Judiciary Committee closed the
impeachment investigation which they COM
menced under an order of the House and
in pursuance Of charges made by Repre-
sentative Ashley, of Ohio, in January last.
After taking nearly two thousand pages of
printed evidence, during session covering
five months, the committee proceeded to
vote on the report it should make to the
house. The result was as follows on the
question, "Docs the evidence warrant the
committee in reporting articles of impcach-
ment?" The affirmative voices were Messrs.
Boutwell,, Thomas, Lawrence and Williams.
The negatives were, Messrs. Wilson, Chair
man, Woodbridge, Churchill, Eldridge and
Marshall. So the committee decided not
to report in favor of impeachment.

~ What record the Republican party
has made for ITSELF -Copperhead Ecchan9e.
Yes sir, and prouder record no party
ever had. Think Of the wrongs it has

publican.
Yes sir, the Republican party has record
which will not soon be lost-a proud"
record for knavss, opprcssers, falsifyers and
tyrants. Look at the broken pledges made
BY Abraham Lincoln in hisinaugural address,
when be said he had no right under the law,
neither had he any inclination to Interfere
with the domestic institutions Of the States;
and then look at his emancipation proclama-
tion, made without the shado,o Of law.
Look at the resolutions passed by the Re-
publican Congress Immediately after the
first Bull run battle, declaring that the
war was not waged on the part Of the north
for the purposes Of oppression or subjuga-
ton, but solely to maintain the constitution
and laws and then look at the utter devasta-
ton Of the south, tho wanton and unncccs-
sary destruction Of private property for no
public good but to crafty the rancor and
hatred Of abolition politicians and abolition
Generals. Look at the record Of the abo-
lition satraps in the north, ''hounded on
by their superiors, the mobbing Of private
individuals, the selling Of others in the
dead hour Of tho night, and marching them
off between fles Of soldiers, and casting
them into unwholesome dungeons, and
turning them out ut tho leisure, without
charge, trial, or formal scquittal. See the
oppression Of our people in our own County
more than forty having been seized by the
soldiers at one time, and cast into prison
where most Of them remained for months
See the record Of printing presses "gutted,
Of others suppressed 20 that the people
could not read both sides. Now let us
not forget the record Of Stewards ''litle
telr', which record is a little obscure, but
which, if fairly written out, would make
the people open their eyes. Then let us
take the record Of Stanton and Holt, two
prominent spokes in the wheel Of Govern
ment' in the Mrs. Surratt case, who is
hardly cold in her coffin before some Of the
hackers and former friends Of these two
bad men, declare was hung innocently.
We might keep up this "record" till
dooms-day, but we will close the books for
the present by naming the Shoddy record
We have purposcly left this till the last for
the reason that the filth pertaining to
manmon should not be mentioned in the
same breath with the blood, the death, the
suAerings which have been extorted from,
and imposed upon our people. But as for
Shoddy its record is on the back Of the
ladies Of the land, at the tips their ears, on
their fingers; in the fast horses, fine carriagcs,
splendid mansions, GREENBACKs, Of the
men. Shoddy, tho name is legion. Yes,
the Republican Party has record which It
may be proud Of, but shocks every right
minded, honest man when It meets his eye.

Hon. George sharswood.

Hon. George SharswOOd.
For more than twenty-five years Judge
Sharswood has been judge Of the District
Court Of Philadelphia, (the next to the
Supreme court in power, jurisdiction and
dignity,) having been appointed in April,
ls45, by Governor Skunk. In 1851, he was
elected to the President Judseship of that
Court b. the unanimous voice Of the people
Of Philadelphia. Notwithstanding he was
a strong constitutional Democrat he was,
during the bitter and proscriptivc days Of
1861, when whoever would not bow the
knee to the abolition Baal was denounced
a, traitor, unanimously re elected to the
same position, the abolitionists have no
man in their ranks who they dare pit
against him, notwithstanding their party
hal nearly ten thousand majority at the
time in the city. In addition to discharging
the duties Of President Judge of that Court
to the full satisfaction Of all persons and
parties, he has filled the position of Profes.
sor Of the Institute Of L,no in the University
Of Pennsylvania for many years, and his lec-
turc in that capacity are received and rec
ognized by the profession everywhere as
among the most eruditc and comprehensive
dissertations on the law to be found in the
English language. Besides the great labor
necessary to discharge these duties, Judge
Sharswood has edited an edition of Black
stones Commentaries adding to previous
editions valuable and copious notes of his
own. Sharswood's Blackstone has super
Gee led other editions of that work as text
book in all the law schools in the United
States. lie has also edited many other
legal works, among which are ''Byles on
Bills Of Exchange" with copious original
notes, Annotations of the English Reports
and has also published an original work
on "Pofcsstonal Nhics," which, of itself,
would have established for him reputation
as a great scholar, author and jurist.

presented to the Convention it is but due to
our candidate to say that he is the only man
to be found in the State, who, in aNrespects,
is competent aud qualified to fll the place
Of Judge Woodward on the Supreme bench.
By his election no additional honor will be
bestowed upon our candidate, while on the
other hand he will reflect great honor upon
the party and will add greatly to the glory
and dignity of the Commonwealth. That
he will most assuredly be elected we have no
doubt, for VIC cannot believe, notwithstand-
ing the experience Of the past few years, that
the people Of this State arc SO lost to self.

n@- 1t is daily asserted by our exchanges
that tho price Of living is coming down,
that spcculators have had ''good time"
long enough, and that the poor people, the
laboring classes, have been shaved to the
"quick." This is true as regards the specu-
lators and the shaving Of the working men
of the country for never did. there exist
anywhere more greedy set Of spcculators,
plumbers, and thieves, nor never were the
poor; people Of any country 50 ground down
with heavy takes and ruinous prices incvery-
thing necessary to sustain life. In the
grain market there is decline, and in q
short time the laborer will be sblc to pur-
chase his flour at prices ranging with the
pay le receives for his labor. The promis-
ing crops both in this country and in Europe
have something to do in bringing down the
price Of grain. In Chicago there is a ter
rible panic, if accounts may be true, in the
-four and grain markets. But in the meat
and grocery line VIC have not yet discovered
any marked change in prices. There seems
to be no decline in the meat market. This
market has been commanding higher prices
for the past year than was warranted and
the people have silently borne the pressure.

a@~ The Abolition party are known at
this time as the "Blockhead Party" 80
named and christened by old white coat,
Horace Greeley. Noperson knows better
than docs Mr.. Greeley the appropriateness
Of the name. lie has mingled with, and in
fact controlled, that "blockhead party for
many years to his entire satisfaction, judging
from the harmonious manner they glided
along, until quite recently. Mr.. Greeley
having saw fit to perform an act in the bail
ing of his friend jeff. Davis, to which a
large number Of the small 'blockheads"
took acceptions, he is prepared to incur all
the displcasure and abuse his party friends
choose to heap upon him. To look at the
matter with an impartial eye it was Radi-
cal step for the old Philosopher to take. He
has taken it, and with him have the Radical
party got to fight it out. If Jcff. Davis is
not convicted and hung upon that ''sour ap-
pie trec," the cause is easily explained
Greeley has chopped the tree down.

The Indian war costs, it is said,
81, 900, 600 week, and Gen. Sher-
man threatens us with bill of $780,
900, 900 before we attain o permanent
peace. The Colorado volunteers
would do therjob cheaper than that
with their premiums Of $40 piece
for 'scalps with the ears on" and
though their warfare might not be
humane, it would be rather more
effectual than the present system. If
the war must be so barbarous or so
costly, will it not be we'll to try the
policy of peace? We are not told
whether any deduction has been
made from the estimates of expendi-
ture on account of the revenue
which, as we learned the other day
by despatch from Gen. Mcdowell,
the soldiers derive from the sale of
Indian captives to the white settlers.
Is 81, 900, 600 week the gross outlay,
or is it the balance against us?
