Aw- Mr.. Ashley, OF Ohio, who is fgur-
ing with such prominence in the impeach
ment programme, was two or the years ago
assSiled by leading men of his own party,
in his immediate Congressional district, for
corruption in procuring appointments. 1t
was charged that he traded in that business,
and not few ,etters written by HIM in re-
lation to different appointments were adduc-
ed to support the charge. And yet, with
such record, Mr.. Ashley rises in his
place in the House and impeaches the
President for "hgh crimes and misdemean-
ors,' among which are the corrupt use of
the appointing powern' The honest men
ofthe land can appreciate the motives which
induce a man with such record as that of
Mr., Ashley to maign and traduce the
President.

Intolerance.

The man who despises his ncighbor be
cause he processes different creed, is des-
titute Of the foundation of all relIgion--a
reverence for the work of his Orator
The various sects OF religion may be com
pared to many streams of living water
flowing from the mountain side; some of
them dash with rapid currents over the
Instructions in their course, and bear
down opposition by the impetuosity of
:heir stream. Others glide with gentle
ripple through pleasant wales and fowerv
banks, sparkling with joy in the beams of
the morning sun, and rejecting back the
lustrous beauties of the sun-lit sky. 9th
ers again steal with dark and slender tide
along the most rugged and desoIate tracks
-"beneath the shade of melancholy
boughs;" occasionally wrecking the ad-
ventnrous vOyagers that trust their gloomy
streams, by hurling them over some unex-
pected precipice, and dashing their hopes
beneath the c.taract's foam The water of
some of the streams is pure and clear
others possess a muddy quality-a slimy
faint, that mars the taste of the good
things of this life, and clouds the facilities
of the mind and heart. But all the rivers
ultimately gain the open sea; and if we
do but steadily pursue the track that we
conceive to be correct, aud stick honestly
to the navigation of our own vessels, with
out endeavoring to run down our neigh
bor's craft, or 10 run mp other peoples
creeks with evil designs, we shall eventu-
al y cross the wide unfathomable ocean,
and obtain snug anchorage in the haven
of our hopes VIM. E. Burton.
RIGHrs OF RAILWAY TRAvELERs.-A
gentleman travelling in the West lately,
put t" The test one of the exercises of dis
cretionary power" which conductors in
general are apt to carry to an extreme.
He had rurchased first class ticket
There were but two cars in the train-one
for smoking and Que for ladies. The gen.
tlcman IN question, having no travelling
companion of the tender sex. was directed
by the brakeman to go into the smoking
car. He demonstrated and demanded \
first class ticket. The conductor bring
appealed 10. sustained the brakeman; and
the traveller refusing to give up his ticket
till he had received his equivalent de-
manded, both officials combined to forci.
bly, eject him from the tram. The gentle
NAH Immediately made his way back to
the office of the railroad. and the mana
gers made the anserde onorable by paving
him literally for his lost time. dismissing
the offending conductor, and promulgating
to all its employees the sensible rule that
first class tickets convey right to first
class seats.

Musr "OwN UP."--The dissimllarity
of races is stamped upon their forms and
features. Their mental and moral diversi-
tIes--the superiority of the one, and in the
inferiority of the other, are in like manner
stamped npon their daily life, and in a
larger sphere upon the histories of, or lack
Of history of the races. Even Schuyler
Colfax, radical as he is, can see and ac-
knowledge this inferiorlty, as he did in a
recent speech in Detroit, as follows:
81 never b. lievd in negro equality. I
believe God made rs for His own wise
purposes, superior race. We have
proved ourselves, by our advancement in
science, history and philosophy, to be su
perior. do not believe in Chinese equal
ity, nor in Maylay equality. God made
us the superior race, and with its greater
responsibilities But God forgive me, if
while think so, would endeavor to
grin down lower this oppressed race. Oar
principle is liberty to all. We shall all
meet at the same judgment bar. Bni l
think I can say without any impiety, l
wish He had made all of these races white.

The whisky dealers continue their

The Herald's Washington special
says: Horny A. Wise made the Grafton

Pathological Society of Virginia in
Richmond last night. His remarks, of
course, touched mainly on the present
political situation, but the most re-
markable portion of them consisted OF
advice to the young men of the State
to become farmers, do their own labor
and get rid Of negroes and European
emigrants.
EGeneral Dennison testified before the
Judiciary committee yesterday that
while the officers of the Maryland mill
