PENNSYLVANIA NOT A REPUB
Lie.

Mr. THAD. STEVENS, in his speech in the
House, ON Tuesday, made an appeal in be-
half Of the State OF Pennsylvania. Messrs.
GEARr and CAMERON, who have just been
elected to represent the old Keystone State,
in different capacities, ought to look to the
matter. STEVENS said:
"Ideny that the State OF Pennsylvania Is
Republic. wish this Congress
would take II in hand and make it q Re
public"
Everybody knows that il CAMERON had
not whipped old THAD. out Of his boots for
the Senatorship he (SrEvESsJ would have
considered Pennsylvania the greatest Re
public on earth. How men change their
minds after election.
Before the election Of Senator the Legisla-
ture Of Pennsylvania, in the public estima-
tion Of Mr.. STEVENS, was composed Of "pure
men," Then THAD STEVENS expected that
Legislature to vote for him. He was mis-
taken. The Legislature voted for Mr.. CAN
ERoS. Now THAD. thinks it is composed o
such impure men that he denies it to be re
publican, and appeals to Congress to "tak
it in hand" Unfortunate THAD.

Cable Telegraphs.

An English journal says: The success Of
the Atlantic Telegraph has, we are informed,
led to the revival Of several schemes for e.
tablishing telegraphic communication by
other routes. Arrangements are nearly COM
pleted for commencing at once the manufac.
ture, at Liverpool, Of the cable intended to
be laid for the North Atlantic route by way
Of Iceland and Greenland. The prospectus
Of the new company will, il Is said, be issued
Immediately" This is only the beginning.
In few years there will probably be a suiii,
cient number Of deep-sea cables in operation
to supply all demands, and TO make commu-
nication between Europe and the United
States as certain and as cheap as by the
present land lines.

AFRw WORDS ABOUT IMPEACH
MENT.

There is q remarkable unanimity in the
more sober.minded Of the Republican and
other journals in their dissent from the propo
sition to impeach The President. One oi
our weekly contemporaries has made some
very truthful observations upon the subject,
as follows:
There is no public justice to vindicate,
no public policy to secure, that cannot wait
till new President in the ordinary course
is elected and inauguratsd; but simply party
disappointment to resent, and free scope for
party measures Of questionable constitu-
tionality, and still more questionable public
utility, to be obtained. There is no public
reason for the rash action. The present Con-
gress and the next will have q more than
two-thirds majority in both Houses, and The
President is, and can be, no serious obstruc-
ton TO any legislation really demanded by
the country, even supposing him to be as far
wrong in his policy as the majority in Con-
gress pretend. The country and the world
will regard the movements for impeachment
as mere party movements, and will condemn
on Radical ground, for them, and no good
can come from them, whether successful or
not, but much evil.
1--WE have read the formal indictment
drawn by General BUTLER. Wehaye listened
to all that has been said by the most emf
nent among the advocates Of impeachment
and we have examined closely and impair
TALLY for ourselves the acts Of THE PREsI
DENT, and we have not been able TO discover
the shadow Of q reason on which to grounC
an impeachment The movement for 1t Il
simply movement dictated by party spitt
and personal resentment; and it would be I
fatal day for our republic when the Chic
Magistrate OF the Union could be arraignet
by the grand inquest OF the nation, and pu
on his trial for political differences Of opin
ion, or on mere personal or party offences.
"THE PRESIDENTS real offence is, that h
has differed from the majority in Congress
on the question whether it belongs to Con
Rress or 10 the Executive to recognize re
organized State as State in the Union
He claims that the several States that Sc
ceded, having reorganized their respective
governments in accordance with the Consti
tuition Of the Union, they are now States IL
the Union, and should be treated as such BY
Congress. In this, whether right or wrong
he only follows the precedent set BY Presi
dent LISooLN and the Thirtyseyenth Con
oress. The Executive, in accordance with
the legal opinion Of Mr.. Attorney Genera
Bars, recognized the loyal government COL

JUDaE BEYAS, in his charge 10 the grand
Jury Of Charleston, q few days ago, said
From the character Of one Of the witnesses
to be brought before you, You will realize
the great change in our laws. The black
man is now competent witness, both by
the laws of the United States and the legis.
lation Of our own State. You will accept
his testimony and give that credit to II TO
which the intelligence and character Of the
party entitle II. As far as color is con-
cerned, there is no distinction as to the CON-
potency Of testimony"
