All the members OF the Judiciary
Committee having arrived, the pur-
suit of that new "Will O. the Wisp,"
impeachment, has recommended; but
1 do not think the magic light was
reached. Mr.. Trenholm, ex-Con-
federate Secretary of the Treasury,
was examined. but what he said re-
mains hidden in the breasts of the
honorable committee. In the news
papers of late, great deal of stuff
has appeared as to the proceedings of
tho Impeachment Committee. The
only merit this stuff can claim is,
that it made the members laugh over
the very absurdity of developments
that never had any existence save in
the lively imaginations of correspond
ents. The fact is, the proceedings of
the investigations are strictly guarded
from publication, and all the stories
of what this, that or the other man
said, are pure fabrications. Mr..
Ashley is here to stir up the impeach-
ment, and Mr.. Covode, of Pennsyl-
vania, also appears on the scene as
chief hacker of j. M. A.
Cor. Ne,o York Times.

BY State law, a peddler in Wis
consin must pay $40 for a license, if
he travels on foot; $50 if he travels
with one horse; $40 if he travels
with two horses; and $50 if he travels
with more than two horses. A fine
of $50 and Imprisonment not to ex-
ceed three months are made the pc
nalty OF evading the law, and the
goods exposed for sale arc liable to
seizure to satisfy the fine and costs.
A State agent has been appointed,
whose duty il is to see that this law
is enforced.
The Boston Post says: Locking up
boys i'll prison cells for playing mar

beating child numerically is calcu-

religious nature. But all these expert
ments are tried here and in our neigh
borhood. Are these the kind of seeds
Mr.. Phillips would plant at the
South?

THE TRUTH AT LAST. Thurlow
Weed, having followed up Greeley
rather sharp on his tcrgiversations,
the philosopher is driven to cxplana-
tions. among which is the following
confession of q truth long ago assert
ed by those who never believed in
the necessity of the late civil war:
|'Stocks were falling. business pa
ralyzcd, local elections going heavily
against us in Northern communities
that had just given large mnjorities
for Lincoln, and all industrial inte-
rests shrinking from the prospects of
vast civil war. If a poll could then
have been had on the question, the
free States would have given q popu-
lar majority for the Crittenden COM
promise. It was our task to stem
this headlong torrent, and save the
nation from committing gigantic
crime. We did this, perhaps, not so
wisely as another might, but with
such wisdom as We had"

AID AND COMFORT. 1t is stated
that among other legal positions
taken by the Attorney General in in
terpreting tho disqualifcations, it is
assumed that the words "giving aid
and comfort to the enemies of the
United States" when they occur in
the Constitution, and consequently
in. any Act of Congress, have no
meaning whatever where the ene-
mics are rebels, but apply exclusively
to foreign wars and to alien public
enemies. So says every authority,
English and American, since the orr
ginal words were first used in the an
cicnt statute Of the twenty fifth year
of Edward III.

CoNFIsCATIoN-THE ANT1-sLAvERY
SOCIETY. the thirty-fourth anni-
versary of the Anti-slavery Society,
held at Steinway Hall, New York, on
Tuesday, the resolutions reported by
Wendell Phillips failed to make any
mention of confiscation, and Col. T.
W. Higgipson, of Boston, calling
attention in his speech to this unac-
countable omission, Phillips made
haste to repair it, and came forward
and offered, substantially, the follow
ing, which was adopted:
"Resolced, That large measure of
confiscation and the division of the
confiscated lands among the negroes
is imperatively demanded to secure
the rights of the negroes and the
safety of the nation, and as an net of
justice upon the rebel owners of the
land"

Saturday Morning. May II, 1854
Getting n Population.

It is stated that tho Endperof of
Brazil has established emigrant de-
pots at.several points, and appointed
agents to look after their interests;
pays part of the passage money;
admits all farming implements free
of duty and tax sells lands at nominal
prices of from ten cents to one dollar
per acre, giving five years to pay in,
and gives fee transportation from
the port Of entry to the selected place
of settlement.
In this State, forward step has
been taken in the appointment OF o
Commissioner of immigration, and
agents In this country and abroad;
but this policy must become much
more geheral among the planters Of
the South to make it effectual. They
want labor and capital, md we believe
sthat, by concerted action in raising
funds for the purpose, they must
eventually succeed, and that tho con-
sequence would inevitably be an ad-
vance in the value of lands through
out tho South, while, at the san1o
time, an Industrious population would
be introduced that would quickly de-
velop her great resources.
We agree with n contemporary in
saying that it is marvellous that our
planters. viii cling to their broad
acres, which they cannot half till for
want of labor, when, with combined
and we'll directed effort, settlers could
be obtained, who would buy or lease
portion of their lands, relieve them
of half their cares, and render the
balance of their lands retained more
valuable than the whole is ut present.
If they fail to do something of this
sort, we are afraid the recuperation
of the South will be slow business.

FLUCTUATIONS IN GOLD. The New
York Times, of the 7th, says:
Another rise in gold, yesterday, and
again without reasonable cause. Pri-
vate cable dispatches professed to
tell what Prussia will say and do ut
tho Conference which begins in Lon
don to-day, though but moments
reflection is needed to detect the un-
trustworthiness of what is at best
conjecture. The Conference may not
achieve its object, but that Prussia
declares beforehand her intentions,
for the special use of stock operators,
is far from probable. Another rumor
employed by the gold gamblers was,
that United States securities had de-
clined in London, though authorized
reports disproved the story. That
dealers in railroad stocks have no
faith in the permanence of the up
ward tendency of gold is shown by
the stationary quotations Of the lead
ing lines.

Martial Law im Great Britain.

The, English paperswpublish tho
charge of the lord Chief Justice, de-
livered recently in sthe Criminal
Court. relative TO tile charge of mpr-
der. in Jamaical against Cox Nelson
aud Lieut.. Brand, arising out OF the
execution of Mr.. Gordon. The deli
very extended over six hours, AMI is
regarded rs masterpiece of legal
ability. The Chief Justice quoted
several instances, ut various times,
when it was said martial law had been
proclaimed in the British Empire.
His whole argument is: opposed to
the establishment of martial law in
times of peace.
The jury, in the above cases, did
not find true bills. They seemed to
want more light as regards the low OF
England. Just before the rising of
the court, the grand jury attended
before Baron Chaunell, and reported
that they had concluded their ]abors.
and, ut the samo time, made the fol-
lowing presentment in reference to
the case: "The grand jury strongly
recommend that martial law should
be more clearly defined by Legislative
enactment" Baron Channell said he
would take care that the presentment
WAS forwarded to the proper quarter.

use the following language:
"Inasmuch as we learn that the
suit, if successful, will result in the
destruction of the road, and the Sc
rious embarrassment of large por-
ton of the State, we earnestly regret
that any of the bond-holders have
deemed it necessary to their interest
to nrge their claims. especially when
our affairs are otherwise SO utterly de-
pressed"
Now, SO far from this statement
being correct, it. is we'll known that a
large number of the d-holders
moving in this matter are among the
oldest and best friends the road ever
had, and the idea of its destruction
growing out of the proceedings in
stituted has never once been thought
of by them. On the contrary, it is
their desire to rescue the road from
inevitable destruction, and place it
upon sound basis, whereby it's
friends may enjoy the conveniences
which were promised them in its
early history. All who know the
road, and are acquainted with its past
misfortnnes, must appreciate its pre-
carious situation between Columbia
and Pomaria, subject as it is to be
swept away at any time by freshets;
and it is well known that the compa-
ny, under its present difficulties,
could never rebuild it. It is tho de-
sire, therefore, of tho bond-holders,
who have instituted tho proceedings
against the road, while they protect
their own interest as such, to place
the road in tho hands Of company
who are able to rebuild it upon n Sc
cure and permanent basis, and place
upon it such machinery and rolling
stock rs will, at all Times, Secure to
that large section of the State through
which it passes n prompt, safe and
