The IAIpKACHMENT.-A telegram
appears in the Northern papers, from
this city, stating that few days sub
seqnent to the adjournment of Con-
gress, one of the strongest Republi-
can members of the House, who is
also one of the leading opponents of
the impeachment gement, took
occasion to visit Attorney General
Stanbery and Secretary McCulloch,
and during the convers alton which
ensued, expressed the opinion of his
associates regarding impeachment.
He charged Mr.. Stanbery with
having done everything in his power
to place obstacles in the way of the
enforcement of the laws of Congress,
and particularly to break down the
reconstruction acts. "Now, sir" he
continued. ''you must fully and
clearly understand, that if the Presi-
dent does not faithfully execute the
law we have just passed, the first
thing Congress will do on re-assem-
bling will be to impeach him, and I
for one will exert myself to secure
that end"
he further expressed the opinion
that impeachment would be easily &c.
complished under such circum-
stances. Mr.. Stanbely replied, that
he felt sure that the President would
execute the laws so rs to avoid trou-
bile, as he was in great and constant
fear OF impeachment, and the more
SO of late, because he has made up
his mind, at the expiration of his
PRESIDENTIAL term, to return to Ten
n1essee,, for the purpose Of presenting
himself again as candidate for the
United States Senate Gen. Banks
is said to be the member of Congress
alluded to above Washington .Sto0..

The Roger.ville, Tenne.see, Fight.

The AogersvuIe,T tennessee, Fight,
The Chattanooga American Uaio,,
is permitted to take from a private
letter, received in that city, thepar-
ticulars of the riot at Rogersville,
Tennessee, Ia brief report of which
we had by telegraph from which we
subjoin the following:
After the speaking was over, the
conservatives accompanied Mr., Eth
ridge to the old Edmon's Hotel, and
in about half an hour, the radical
league, numbering about 800, came
marching along. They suddenly fired
q volley, and commenced firing right
and left. The conservatives, though
thrown into great confusion by this
unprovoked attack, soon rallied and
gave them battle, and put the
leaguers, most of whom we're ne
groes, to flight. The fight lasted
above five minutes, during which
time there was one killed, one NOR
tally wounded and eight severely and
slightly wounded. The man who
was killed was q conservative named
York. The one mortally wounded
was also n conservative. There were
FIVE negroes and three white men
wounded. One negro had his leg
amputated the same evening.
After their repulse, the radicals raj
lied on the hill at Bradley's, but Wm.
Thurman and John Wolf, (both of
whom had been officers in the United
States Eighth Tennessee Cavalry, and
are now conservatives excited by
the death of their friend, gathered
up squad of conservatives, charged
up the hill and routed the leaguers,
again wounding one of them, and
capturing the league flag and about
dozen guns and pistols.
The writer says that the times are
now worse than they were during the
war, or in 1861, but the dissensions
are chiefly among the Union men, as
radicals and conservatives. He thinks
there will be terrible time on the
day of election, unless some steps are
taken by the authorities to prevent
it.
He says that the fight was COM
menceu Dy the negro league OF RO
gersville, who fired the first shot, and
were doubtless instructed to do so by
some white man of that County or
town. Most of the negroes were
armed with new pistols, which looks
very suspicious. They fired q whole
volley at Thurman, Wolf and Thos.
Cain, (who were officers of the Union
army during the war; but luckily did
not touch either of them 1t is very
strange that no more were hurt, as
there were at least 500 men in the
fight or on the ground.

THE LATE CoNvENTIoN.-Ac CORES
pondent Of the New York Times,
writing to that paper concerning the
late Union Republican Convention,
says:
After q three days sitting, the
Union Republican Convention has
tonight completed its work. 1t has
embodied its principles in platform;
it has organized its committees, and
the party may now be said to be ON
its legs before the State and the
country. The members are almost
unanimously we'll satisfied with their
work, and they express the utmost
confidence in their ability, on the
basis here laid down, to carry the
State Of South Carolina. But whe-
ther they have planted things like
to last l know not; whether what
they have raised is destined to prove
really platform, or only scaffolding
for platform, or mere waste lumber,
remains to be seen. 1t is clean and
clear and out and out radical. But
it is quite certain that outside of
tHooO HuO nave Idheu part Ill tNlS
movement is large body of Repub-
hcans, including many of the most
respectable and intelligent and inhu-
ential men of the party, who have
not united with those who have come
to Columbia, but have stood aloof to
await the upshot of the thing. 1t
may be that they will now take the
opportunity to form distinct oIgani-
zation, in which case the Columbia
Convention will have played into
their hands by the adoption of o
platform that is censorious in its cha
ractcr. that contemplates indirect
confiscation, and that is likely to di-
vide the State sharply on the line of
race. 1t may be, on the other hand
and it is so claimed by the radical
leaders here-that the Columbia or
ganization will show such strength as
to draw all these moderate Repubi-
cans to it. Quien soJe. Things are
altogether too chaotic yet to tell.

Have you registered? If not, why
don't you register Mt once? Have
you no interest in the condition of
our laws? Do you not care whether
they are honestly and energetically,
or scandalously and inefficiently ad-
ministered? Have you no rights to
be protected or abated? Is your
citizenship worth nothing to you?
Have you no regard for the welfare
OF your neighbors, your city or your

care very little for these things, your
best course will be to shirl your plain
duty and keep away from the re-

The president AND GEN. SHER1-
DAN.-The National MteNigemce,, re-
ferring to the contingency heretofore
expressed by that journal of tho re-
moval of Gen. Sheridan, says that
such an act would violate no provi-
stons OF any of the reconstruction
acts, but, on the contrary, a provi-
sion having the object of preventing
the President from replacing the
military commanders by others, was
incorporated in the House bill, but
failed to receive the approval of Con-
gress. The object of that body being
alleged to be the pacification of the
Union, if the conduct of any General
in the South tends to discord and ha-
tired, is it not, the hteNigencer asks,
the imperative duty of the President
to see that all the laws are faithfully
executed, and that the true inten-
tion of Congress, in this behalf, shall
not be disregarded or prevented?

.e MEETNa AT MARIoN.--Gen. r. K.
Scott, Commissioner of the Freed
mems Bureau for this State, adj
dressed a meeting of the freedmen,
at Marion, on Saturday last. The
Crescent says:
He spoke of the poverty of the
country, scarcity of provisions, the
causes which produced it, and show
ing them the only remedy by which
to extricate themselves from these
difficulties. Poor land and poor
labor, he said, would keep them in a
state of poverty. He pointed them
to the rich plantations OF the West,
where the laborer is richly remune-
rated for his services, and where the
tiller of the soil reaps rich reward
for his labor, and is thereby enabled
to pay his employees good wages.
1t is there they must seek to ,aise
themselves from poverty and want,
and consequently from Ignorance.
Here they can hope to make only a
scanty support for themselves and
families; there they can ACCOUNT n late
wealth and independence.
He alluded to the vagary Of social
equality entertained by some, and in
- few remarks showed the impracti.
cability of such q thing, not ,,nly be-
tween tho different races, but also be-
tween th..e of the same race and
color. This is q matter outside. of
the law, which, in every age and
country, must regulate itself. 1t ever
has been, and ever will be, left for
each person to choose his own COM
panion.
He also told them that they must
no longer look to the Government or
to the charity of the Nol thern people
for support, but must learn to be
selfsustaining institution.
