\ friend at Eric writce us that n
vigorous war is now being wagcd by
the "loil' factions Of this district,
looking TO the nomination next fall.
Mr. scodcld's absence from the Capi.
tai when the Impeachment vote was
taken, was not because his wife was
sick. 1t was two fold. IIc wanted
to dodge the question, and was in Eric
county trying to settle a political
6ght,and attempted to concentrate the
factions upon himself or Gen. Patton.
The dodge was a success, but the war
of the "loil" factions goes on moro
vigorous than ever.
A correspondent from Elk county
states that tho fight among the Ma
tional Robbers has become so open in
that section of the district that they
don't Try to conceal it, The Impcach-
ment wing of the party is in favor OF
Scofeld or Patton; while the Con
servative portion seek the nomination
of Mr.. Swoope, of this county, or,
failing to secure him, they will settle
on Mr.. Souther, Of Elk.
We, of course, can't help these
Union slayers-nor are they likely TO
ask our advice-but if the district is
to be accurscd again by negro bu-
reau agent, we would thousand fold
rather see Mr.. Swoopo in that posi-
ton than either of the others named.
He is a gentleman of rare abilities,
and would make an intelligent Repre-
sentative. These are qualifications
that neither of the others possess
We would advise our Miscegena-
tionists not to trouble themselves too
muehly over this matter, because we
intend to have a genuine Cooper
head" to represent the 10Th district
in the next Congress.

A DIFFERENcE.-One Of the leading
Radical Disunion journals says that
the illibustering carried on by Jack
Logan and his fifty.six co-conspirators
in the Rump House, on the Inpeuch-
meht question, was outrageous and
disgraccful in the extreme; while
another organ says that it was a test
of resolution and courage. The same
resolution and courage here referred
to, is that of the highwayman when
he demands "your pocket book or
your life" and those who demand
impeachment and consequent disu-
nion, possess the same fiendish spirit.

A MOVEMENT or THE WATERs.-rhe
white people Of the Southern colonies
arc at last moving in the right dircc.
tion to save a continent from mon.
grclism and for the overthrow Of Mil
itary Despotism in that section Of our
once happy Union. Large conven-
tons Of white people, property hold
crs and statesmen have been held in
Virginia, Georgia, and some of the
other States, looking to a permanent
organization Of a White Conservative
party The resolutions adopted by
the conventions of the States named
have the ring Of the true metal. and
the names OF the gentlemen appointed
ms State and District Committees are
a tower Of strength within themselves
and an honor to the nation. We
begin to have hope We expect
before another year rolls around, to
chronicle the total annihilation Of tho
"loil cause" and its hackers; composed
of negroes, political elergymcn, Yam
kec bureau agents, and Northern and
Southern mean whites, generally. The
triumph OF the Lost Cause" Union,
and peace, are not far in the distant.

Confessions ora Political CrinI-
fn0f.

We take the following truthful
statement from the Philadelphia Post,
a young but rising Radical journal
Notwithstanding that maiori ty
Of the Judiciary Committee Of the
House, expressly directed to investi-
gate the charges against the President,
reported that those charges were true !;
notwithstanding the insolent message
Of the President, in which he deliber-
ately defed Congress, there are but
fifty-four Republicans who had the
courage yesterday to vote for the i'm
parchment. The tilibustering motions
Of Mr. Logan were tests Of the rcsolu-
ton Of the House, and proved that it
has no resolution. We conccde to in
dividuals honesty in opposing this
bold measure, but we do not coneedo
that Congress is honest, for it repeat
edly threatened to impcach Mr.. John
son if he dared to do what he has
done, and nothing is better established
than that the majority Of the Repub-
lieans long ago admitted that i'm
parchment would be justice. Tho
House, therefore, believes one thing
and does another. If the removal Of
Andrew Johnson were the only qucs-
ton involved, we could better endure
this defeat. Bad as his administration
is, il is drawing near 10 its end. But
let towards say what they will, the
Impeachment OF Andrew Johnson was
a measure to which the Republican
party was pledged. impeachment
was the only solution ofthe question.
1t was the logical end Of the irrcpres.
sible conflict between a Congress that
made inst laws and President that
refused 10 execute them. The Repub-
lican party could not escape the re-
sponsibility and had no was Of pre-
venting the issue except by flight. 1t
chose c0wardice rs refuge. The
Capitol surrenues-od 20 tl.a Witt.
House. Andrew johnson is the hero
Of the day. Probably he knew his men
when he sentan intimidating message
to- Congress, Tor he understood that
there was no danger Of arousing their
self respect, and he had great hopes
that he might excite their fears. To-
day we find the Republican party at
the feet ofits enemy, for we need not
repeat that in Congress alone the
leadership ofthe Republicans is found.
After the recent defeats in October and
November it was TO Congress that all
earnest Republicans looked Tor aid.
1t has failed them, and we can hardly
even estimate the moral effect upon
the country. This act Of cowardice
will dishearten our friends and en-
bolden our foes, and we shall better
know whatwe have lost when answers
come from the millions of the South,
who looked to Congress for n leader
and the rebels who will start to know
that they can still use Andrew John
son as a tool"

WHERE THE LEAKS ARE.-The de-
plction of the National Treasury, by
the Rumpers, is truly astonishing. A
deficiency bill was reported in the
House the other day, calling for sir
teen million dollars, for the negro bu-
reau alone, while fftythowdnd dollars
additional was asked for the paper
folders. Mr. Brooks showed that twice
this sum had already been spent, two
thirds Of which was used for election.
eering purposes. Millions more of de-
ficiencies will be asked for within the
next three months, most of which will
be used against the Democrats in the
next election.

LOST AGAIN.-Thc government
has, for the second time, pocketed the
negro bill passed by the Bumpers,
striking out Of the charter and laws
of the District of Columbia the word
"white, y so as to allow the negroes to
hold Office, sit on juries, and other
wise putting sambo on a political and
social equality with the whites. OF
course it viii be the first thing up for
passage when the Rumpers return
after the holidays, no matter how
loudly the white people of the Capital
and the nation protest against it.
The Rump has as little respect for
tho rights Of white people as a high
wayman could well have.

UNFoRTUNATE.-0ur neighbors Of
the 10th Congressional district have
been peculiarly unfortunate fora mum.
Der of years with their Representa-
tives. Like the Military Dominions
of the South, they have no voice in
the Rump. But then, unlike them,
the district cost the Treasury $1,000
