The New York Times, Crepublican, } speak
ing of the defeat of the impeachment PROPOSE
ton, remarks: a.f,s-a a. az -.tl ~ .-.
The result is satisfactory. 1T removes
huge pile of rubbish which under the term
impeachment threatened to obstruct public
business and to develop the annoyances in
separable from the heated and prolonged
discussion on u subject SO full of personalities
and animosities. For this relief, and for the
QWictuS that has been given to a project which
JeopardiZed the harmony and usefulness of
the republican party, tho country has reason
to be thankful
The New York Journal of Commerce, in
some remarks on the subject, says:
Impeachment was tho offspring of heated
partisanship and personal malice, entertained
quite exclusively by that Congress with whom
1t has been the Presidents misfortune to come
into frequent collision, and was never approx
ed, we think, by the masses of the dominant
party. Popular discussion of the measure
caused great anxiety and alarm, and contrib.
uted, without doubt, to conservative maiorities
at recent elections. 1t may be that the ma
JoTity in Congress never seriously meant to
impeach the Preident; but the more probable
case is that they were mad and in earnest,
and have become converted from their pur-
pose by their own better thoughts and by the
imperative demands Of the people
The New York Herald remarks:
The end of the impeachment humbug
shows still more strikingly the extraordinary
change that has come over Congress- The
dominant party in and out of Congress, a short
time since, clamored for the Presidents i'm
parchment. They were ready to remove him
at all hazards for partisan purposes. In their
violence they represented him as u traitor,
sot, dcbauchee and everything else vile-in
fact monster. They raked the prisons and
every conceivable place Tor evidence against
him. They took the testimony OF the vilest
characters and perjurers to make out case
They put spies about his residence to watch
him, aud they did everything possible to
blackcn his character before the public in
advance Of the action of Congress. Finally,
majority Of the impeachment committee
brought a charge against him ior "high
crimes and misdemeanors." Aud, after all
this violence, labor aud partisan zeal, what
did it end in Abortion in two-thirGs
vote of the House against impeachment
Never before did great party come down
tromits lofty pretensions so fatty If the radi
cal republicans had wanted to do Mr.. john
son great service they could not have done
anything to accomplish that more cifectually.
But as there is evidence of returning reason
among them We are not disposed to rub caustic
on their sores too merclessly.

Now and Then!

In his Message to the Ohio Legislature,
in 1851, the then Governor, WIN. DENNIsoN,
had the following:
can act of immediate general emancipa-
tion, throwing four millions of the colored
caste loose on society, North and South,
are now. Without the intelligence. potoer aud
means of a master Of the superior race, to sup
port them in the competition OF that race
in the business of life, they toould perish.
The North rejecting them, as 1t has done
in many States, and might do in many
others, the four millions let loose in the
South, would encounter 1oar of castles, a
war of DIFFERENTIATION
About the same time, Governor DENIM
son telegraphed to Cleveland that negro
troops could not be enlisted to serve with
white ones.
Governor DENN1soN, forgetful of the pas;
and doubly forgetful of the teachings OF
history, now advocates negro suffrage and
negro equality with whites in all politi-
cal matters. Men change when interest
fdAds the way, but principles are unchang
ing and eternal.
Mexico is fair specimen of this negro
equality. There the races mingle and vote
and there revolution succeeds revolution
as the day succeeds night. The negro suf
frage advocates are doing their best tC
make the United States second Mexico.

WIN. II. WEST, the Republican Attorney
General of the State, and candidate for re-
election, made speech at the West front
of the State House on the night preceding
the day on which the Republican State
Convention was held. The speech
was devoted to Negro Suffrage. He threat
ened war on the people of the State If the
voters should refuse to give to the Negroes
the same political, privileges that are exer-
cised by the Whites. The Negroes in South
Carolina, he said, were numerically strong
er than the Whites, and would, consequent
ly, control matters to suit themselves. The
Rebels, he claimed, were not plscated, and
they would hail an opportunity to unite
with the Southern Blacks to make
war on the North, if the North
should not provide that the Negroes shall
vote in their respective States. In 1853
the Republican politicians threatened war
here in Ohio if BRoUGH were not elected
Governor. The threat had the effect OF
deterring many from voting the Demo
cratic Ticket, who otherwise would have
done so. Mr.. WEST, however, will find
that he can not frighten many men into
voting for the Republican Ticket by threat
ening to overrun the North with an army
of emancipated Negroes and Rebels, if the
voters of Ohio shall refuse to strike the
word White from their Constitution.
Creatures, such as he, who undertake to
frighten White men into an abnegatior
of their manhood, deserve nothing but
scorn and contempt from them, instead ol
support for Attorney General.

"A DISTINGUISHED politician from Ohio
is likely TO be appointed Commissioner of
Agriculture, but it is not known who he
is. Supposed to be some one who pre-
tends to the foreknowledge OF the defeat
of the Constitutional Amendment
nal.
The politician from Ohio who does not
know that negro suffrage will be defeated
at the election this fall, is the veriest Know
Nothing in the land. 1t is patent as is the
folly of the Journal, or the superior circu-
lation of THE STATESMAN.
J.R. HUBBELL, late member of Congress
from the Delaware District, is urged for
the place, and if half told is true, he will
be worthy successor of the late lamented
Commissioner, whose qualifications for the
place were under par.

On the subject of the July session Of
Congress, the Journal says a business let
ter from Washington contains the follow
ing items Of interest
This session promises to be short, from
two to four weeks"
That is an item of interest to the whole
country, except the gold gamblers, whose
fortunes rise as the country sinks.
"The Kentucky members, except Major
| Adams, have very poor show for six or
nine months to come. The Committee on
Elections will take up no cases of contest
at this session. There is very little dispo-
sition to bring forward either the impeach.
ment or confiscation question"
To keep these legally elected member:
out of their seats, and to allow sovereign
State to be shorn of the larger portion Of
her Representatives, because they are not
Black Republicans, is the real and the only
cause of their exclusion.
"Old Thad's shadow is growing rapidly
less. Premium on life policy for him i.
advanced to 95 per cent"

Several days ago, Republican and
Democrat got into conversation on the
subject of making voters out of Negroes.
The Republican contended that the Negroes
should be allowed to vote as matter of
right.
"But." replied the Democrat, "that will
lead to social equality"
LET it." rejoined the Republican, " the
only difference between the Negroes and
the Whites is in the color OF the skin and
in the hair"
"Then you think" said the Democrat,
''that the Negroes should have the same
social, as we'll as the same political priv
ileges the Whites enjoy"
Certainly replied the Republican.
"Now, suppose Negro and your daugh-
ter should conclude to contract marriage,
what would you do in regard to that ?"
asked the Democrat.
"Why, 1 should let her, of course" res
ponded the Republican.
"And you would enjoy dandling on your
knee a mulatto grand-child, would you ?"
queried the Democrat.
ooh, no. should not do that. If my
daughter married Negro. 1 should discard
her," replied the Republican with spirit.
"what" asked the Democrat, "discard
your daughter for believing and practicing
the doctrines you teach? Come, neighbor,
don't you think you are carrying this Ne
gro business too far? If there is no differ
ence really between Negro and White
man, excepting the color of his skin and in
the matter OF hair, why would you discard
your daughter for marrying Negro in
stead of White man?"
The Republican hung his head thoughtful
ly. This is point all men should thought
fully think over before they vote on the
subject of making the Negroes the political
equals of the Whites. Political equality
inevitably leads to social equality, and So
cial equality lays the foundation for the in
termarrisge of the races.

The Lieut.. Governor.

The duty of selecting a candidate for
Lieutenant Governor has devolved upon
the State Central Committee, which will
meet on the 10th to discharge it. OF course
it is duty of much delicacy and RESPONSE
billty, but if the votes in the Convention
furnish reasonably clear indication as to
what the wishes of that body would have
been under the circumstances which now
exist, the following of that direction will
relieve the Committee from responsibility.
To give just balance to the ticket. it
would seem necessary to take the candidate
from the North part of the Safe. This
would, unqustionably, have been done by
the Convention had it not been diverted by
the generous impulse to give the nomina-
ton to the candidate who received the next
to the -higf1est-Tete- Governor. The
north part of the State, especially the Re-
serve, is the Republican strong hold. 1t is
a great reserve of votes for time of need
We want its enthusiastic cooperation in
the canvass. We should not presume that
because It is always reliable it may there
fore be treated with neglect.-Cincinndti

Hoisted with Their Own Petard.

The Democratic State Convention of
Iowa, in session at Des Moines, Wednesday
week, adopted the following resolution:
"Resolued, That the maintenance inviolate
of the rights of the States, and especially
the right of each State to order and control
its own domestic institutions according to
its Judgment, exclusively, is essential to
that balance of power on which the perfec-
ton an d endurance of our political fabric
depends"
Upon its publication, the resolution was
denounced by the Republican press as Cop
perheadism, and its principles branded
as Secesh. When it become known that
the resolution was verbatim copy from
the platform on which LINCOLN and HAM
LIN were nominated at Chicago, the grum
blers, like the poor boy at the frolic, hadn't
another word to say. They sung dumb.
