triets-Pierpoiut's Recon- me ndatieu.

New YORK, March 6.-The Times
special says: General Buffers plan con-
corning the impeachment is to appoint
q select committee to set during the re-
cess, and ut the same time pass bill
authorizing the Speaker to convoke
Congress in extra session at the demand
of the committee; but il is thought he
will have to include the Judiciary COM
mittee.
1t is probable recess will be taken
from Saturday next until May or Octo-
Der.
The Times special says: The wool
tariff requires that the Secretary of the
Treasury shall select standard samples
of the woods named and deposit them
in the various Custom Houses. 1t is
found that the wool growers and manu-
facturcrs are not prepared to furnish
these samples, and the Secretary will be
obliged to send to Europe for them, and
it will be two or three months before
they can be obtained. The law is also
so loosely drawn that the Department
has not yet been able to determine
whether it affects goods in bond.
The question of assigning command

When Mr.. Gould saw this notice
in the HERALD, he asked the County
Treasurer to authorize him to pub
lish it in the Register; but the
Treasurer told him he had no au,
thonty to publish the notice in more
than one paper. He then teased
and begged the Commissioners to
order it published in his paper, as
we are informed, and obtained par
tial consent from one of the Com
missioners. He did copy it from
the HERALD, and published it.
And, knowing there was no law re-
quiring it to be published in two pa
pers, and knowing the Commission
ers would not pay him full price
for work they nor the Statutes Of
the State did not require him to do,
he put in his bill for the work at
halt price, on the principle that
halfa loaf was better than no bread.
If the Commissioners did any
wrong in the matter, Mr.. Gould is
the last man that should have COM
planned of it; for they exercised a
questionable power in granting pay
for an advertisement that, so far as
its publication is concerned, is ex-
clusively within the power OF the
County Treasurer. If there was
any wrong in this matter, it was in
paying for an unauthorized, unre-
quired advertisement; and Mr..
Gould has no business to complain
of that, as he got the money.
One other item. The editor of
the Register charged the county
$32 for publishing the notice Of the
proposed amendment to the State
Constitution, and 81 for publishing
an extra of his paper containing it,
which was unnecessary and unau
making 1886; the notice
was published 6 months, We pub
Iished the same article the same
.ength of time for which we charg-
ed the county but $15. This is an
tenn which more than doubles our
charge for the same work.
In conclusion, we make this
charge that these misrepresenta-
ions have been put in circulation
n order to injure us in our bust |
less and to produce an impression t
hat our County Commissioners
lave been guilty of allowing us ex- n
ravagant prices for our work, be- f
ause of political preferences. We a

coLFAx AT CIRcLEvILLE.
On last Thursday afternoon We

On last Thursday afternoon we
went over to Circleville to hear q
speech from Hon. Schuyler Colfax.
There had evidently been but little
effort made to get up a large meet
ing, yet there was a goodly number
Of substantial farmers present from
all portions of the county, and we
never saw a more attentive and well
pleased audience than attended this
meeting. Mr.. C.'s speech was a
most convincing argument, and a
truthful statement of affairs at the
Capitol. He exposed the outrage
GUS assumptions of man who was
made President by the hands of
democratic assassin, and warned the
people Of the danger our country
was in from the hands of traitors at
the Capitol. He urged them earn
estly to trust no men with political
power who had even the semblance
of treason upon their garments, or
of being the friends of rebels. He
advised the people, as a matter of
justice and Of vital Importance to
the Government, to adopt the suf-
frage amendment, to put the ballot
in the hands of all loyal male citi-
zens.
He spoke to truly delighted au-
dience for about two and a half
hours.
When he concluded, Hon. Sam'l
Galloway-the inimitable and ire
oressible Sam.-was called out, and
addressed the audience for an hour
ind a halfin his usual style-a style
hat, to be fully appreciated, must
)e seen as well as heard. He did
lot enter into any methodical or
ogical argument, or a close investi-
,ation, but skirmished among the
nemy generally. His speech was
Oudly cheered at the rounding up |
# every sentence. :
In the evening, Hon, Job Steven 6
on, of Cincinnati, spoke to large
nd well-pleased audience. But the 0
whistle of the locomotive warned
that our time for hearing speech
in Circleville was up for that
light, and in a few moments we l
ere off for home, and Job was
ill patiently addressing the anxious
'owd.

IMPEACHMENT.

We confess that, during al
the talk about impeaching thu
President of the United States
during the last regular session o
Congress, we were not among the
editors through the country who
favored that measure. We always
thought there should be the best
kind of evidence that the Chief
Magistrate of the Union had for ar
bitrary and mercenary purposes, act
ed in violation of, and assumed,
powers that we're not delegated to
the Executive Of the Nation, Re-
cent acts of the President, however,
have convinced us, as well as thous-
ands of others, that Mr.. johnson,
in the removal of officers, and in
his late amnesty proclamation grant
ing pardons in violation Of law to
an almost indefinite number of reb-
els, has made his acts proper sub,
jects for investigation with view
to impeachment. There is no ques-
ton that when President Johnson
transcends the powers legitimately
belonging to the Executive depart
ment of this Government, and vio-
lates the plainest provisions of the
law makingpower arbitrarily, know
ingly and for mercenary objects,
the Congress of the United States
is no longer Jlnder bonds to keep
the peace with him and it is the du-
ty of Congress, who are the peo-
pies immediate representatives and
agents, to investigate the acts Of
the Executive, and if there is any
thing in violation Of the plain duty !
of an Executive officer Of Repub-
lican form of government, If there
is anything in his conduct that war
rants the belief in the minds Of the
that he aspires to the
dictatorship OF this Government, it
is the duty Of Congress to scrutinize
with vigilance his official acts, and
II he is guilty, they will fall far
short of their duty to their constit-
nents ifthey do not wrest from him :
the power that he has, and is wan
.only disposed to abuse. There is {
not single doubt remaining in the !
mind of any man who understands {
The principles of a Republican form +
Of government, that Mr., Johnson I
has assumed powers that are assum- f
ed by dlctators only, and should be 3
held accountable to the people Of q
This Nation for the exercise of arbi- =
trary powers-powers that were n
never indorsed by our representa- g
tive form Of government-never +
designed for the Executive, and for y
which he should be impeached, The q
destinies Of this country should q
not be under the control Of die ,
tutor.

Gould & Co.'s Unscrupulous
Lying!

There never was more determin'
ed effort made by the most unscru-
pulous lying scoundrels that ever
drew the breath of life, to traduce
the character and break down an
honest man, than is now being made
by the men (Gould & co., who
have control of the Register ofthis
place, to ruin the character of Mr..
McCandless, our County Auditor
Ne man was ever prosecuted and
traduced more fiercely by the min
ions ofthe Kingdom of Satan, than
are these men now pursuing our
County Auditor, than whom more
honorable or more deserving man
does not live. All this is done for
the purpose of defeating his eiec-
ton and putting in his place man
of their own party,-a man against
whom we have not word to say.
We call upon the Union men of
this county to stand by their candi-
date, and not allow craven-hearted
set Of politicians, by their continued
false charges and contemplate per-
secutions of an honorable man, to
be defeated-a soldier, who in the
service of his country, received a
bullet wound from the enemies of
his country that has made him a
cripple for life; and now, a party
of men have beset him, and would,
if they could accomplish their hell
ish designs in any other way, not
only cripple him physically for life,
but would ruin his character for
ever.
The men who are now pursuing
him with such internal fury are no
better patriots and no better philan-
5hropists than the rebels whose bull .
let's, while gallantly in defense of
lis country, made him a cripple for
he rest of his life.
Again we call upon the Union q
men of Fayette county to stand up :
or the whole Union ticke.t, and not =
How these men who will use any g
neans, regardless Of honor, regard =
ess of trath and regardless Of pri-
ate character, to defeat them.

name of Country Gentleman is
out in lengthy communication this
week, in which he pours out several
small phials of gall and wrath upon

"Nigger, Niger"

"igger; the Niger is black, and he
has no business to be a niggtr, any
how" That is the sum total OF
Democratic arguments against al
lowing the gentleman of African de-
scent to use the ballot. But the real
reasen is that he fought against their
the rebels, and if he is al
lowed to use the ballot, he will use
tito preserve the power of the Gov
