The Impeachment business.

The Impeachment Business.
A special dispatch from Washington,
dated June Sd, says:
The House Judiciary Committee to-
day closed the impeachment investi-
cation, which they commenced under
an order of the House, and in pursu-
ance of charges made by Representa-
tive Ashley of Ohio, in January last,
after taking nearly 1900 pages Of
printed evidence, during a session COW
ering five months. The committee
proceeded to vote on the report it
should make to the House. The re-
suit was as follows:
On the question: Does the evidence
warrant the committee in reporting
articles of impeachment? The afir-
native votes were Messrs. Boutwell,,
Thomas, Lawrence and Williams.
The negatives were NTeSsrs. Wilson,
(Chairman), Woodbridge, Churchill,
Eldridge and Marshall:
So the committee decided not to re-
port in favor of impeachment.
A resolution of censure was then
presented, to the effect that the evil
dence produced before the committee,
of the official and other acts of Presi-
dent Andrew Johnson, demonstrated
that he was unworthy of the conf.
dence and respect of the American
people, This was, agreed. to by ayes
seven, nays two; as follows: : Ayes
Nessrs! Wilson, Chairman, Church
i'll, Boutwell, Thomas, Woodbridge,
Williams and Lawrence-all Bepub-
iicans. Nays-NIessrs: Eldridge and
Democrats.

General SherfdaR's ExDIana,
ton.

General Sheridan having been asked for
his reasons for removing the civil officers
in Louisiana, sent the following dispatch
to General Grant:
General q. s. Grant, Commanding Arnsie8
United States, Washington:
General: On the 29th of March last
| removed from Office Judge Z. Abel, of the
Criminal Court of New Orleans, Andrew J.
Heron, Attorney-General of the State of
Louisiana, and John F. Monroe, Mayor of
the city of New Orleans. These removals
were made under the power granted me in
what is usually termed the Military bill,
passed March p, 1867, by the Congress of
the United States. I did not deem it nee
essary to give any reason. for the removal
of these men, especially after the investi-
cation made by the Military Board on the
massacre ofJuIy 80, 1866, and the report of
the Congressional Committee on the same
massacre; but as some inquiry has been
made for the cause of removal, I would re-
spectfully state as follows: The court over
which Judge Abel presided is the only
criminal court in the city of New Orleans,
and for a period of at least nine months
previous to July 80, he had been educating
a. large portion of the community to the
preparation of this outrage, by almost
promising no prosecution in his court
against the offenders, in case such an event
occurred. The records of this court will
will show that he fulfilled his promise, as
not one Of the guilty ones has been prose-
cuted.-
ain reference to Andrew J. Heron, At
tOrney-General Of the State of Louisiana, l
considered it his duty to indict these men
before tHis Criminal Court. This he failed
to do, but went so far as to attempt tOim-
pose on the good sense Of the whole nation
by indiCting the victims Ofthe riot instead
of the rioters in other words making the
innocent guilty and the guilty innocent
He was, therefore, an abettOr of and coad-
iutOr with Judge Abel in. bringing on the
massacre of July 80. Mayor Monroe con-
trOlled the element engaged in this riot,
and when backed by an AttOrney-G General
who would not prosecute the, guilty, and
judge who advised the grand jury to find
the innocent guilty and let the murderers
go free, felt secure in engaging his police
in the riot and massacre. With these three
men exercising a large influence on the
worst elements Of this city, giving to these
elements an immunity for riot and blood
shed, the General-in-Chief will see how in
secure I felt in letting them occupy their
present positions in the troubles which
might occur in registration and voting on
the reorganization.
81 am, General, very respectfully your
obedient servant, P. II. SHERIDAN,
Major-GeneraI U. S. A."
General Sheridan has also sent the fol-
lowing dispatch to Gen. Grant:
"NEw ORLEANS, June 1.-The registry
returns from most Of the parishes Of the
State have been received, also the reports
of the officers which supervised them, and
can report to you the greatest success,
and that the best Of feeling is existing
among the people.
"P. II. SHERIDAN, NTajor-G eneral."

The Constitutional Amend
mGnt.


The prohibition of er post facto IrocS
in the U. S. Constitution has no con-
nection with, and no reference or ap-
plication to the proposed amendment to
the Constitution of Ohio. A law er
post .facto is one which Furnishes an
act, which at the time it was commit
ed was innocent. Let US see if the
contemplated amendment proposes to
do this. The right to vote is not a
natural right. 1t is a privilege con-
ferred by municipal law. 1t may be
denied to any class of citizens upon
principles Of eXpediency, without
any idea of furnishing those to whom
it is denied. If this were not so, we
are guilty of the constant inhumanity
Of furnishing not merely negroes, but
aliens and women and children.
No fears need be entertained that
the amendment if adopted will ever
operate to the dishanchisement of
any man unless he shall have been
cOaUjcted Of desortion. This seems to
be the decision of courts everywhere,
and is becoming the opinion of the
people Of the State. 1t is not likely,
therefore, that any man who is deserv-
ing, or has any excuse for desertion,
need have any cause to object to the
amendment In its practical work
ings it would probably not have the
effect to disfranchise any one man in
all Highland County.
Still the principle Of the amend
ment is essential. 1t holds out and
the idea that there is a connec-
ton between the obligations of the
citizen and the privilege of citizen
ship. 1t serves torouse the passions Of
men on the side of duty. 1t invites,
guides and stimulates patriotism. Our
laws are founded on
this principles; and no State or nation
can afford to underrate the value Of
the true and faithful allegiance of its
citizens. Our government is worthy
Of the most faithful allegiance, not
only of the head, but Of the heart, not |
merely of the thoughts, but also of the
affections of all our men, and all our
women. all over our country.

Remarkable Surgical Opera
tiOn.

The Painesville, Ohio, Telegraph gives
an account ofa surgical operationperform-
ed by surgeon-GeneraI Wolcott, of Mil
waukee, on brother of General Paine,- of
Wisconsin. One lung was diseased to such
an extent that the man was to all appear
ance far gone with consumption, and he
said himself that he could not live more
than two or three weeks. The plan was to
make an opening in the side and insert a
tube by which the matter from the lung
could be discharged externally. An open
ing was made between the sixth and
seventh ribs, in front, but with no satisfac-
tory results; another was Immediately
made at the side, between the eighth and
ninth ribs, and with complete success. A
tube was inserted, through which matter
flowed freely. The patient stopped cough
ing at once, has gained about fifty per
cent. in weight and considers himself well.
The lung has ceased to discharge, and the
tube is taken out. The operation was per-
formed last November. This is one of the
most remarkable surgical operations of
which we have heard.

Tennessee.

The GubernatOrial canvass in Ten
nessee is becoming very lively. W. B.
Stokes is the nominee of the Unionists
for Governor, and Emerson Etheridge
is: the nominee of the Rebels: The
freedmen, hold the balance of power in
the State, and it is for their vote that
each party is Iaboring:. Where their
sympathies arey it is not difficult to
See. At all Of the joint discussions
held thus far Between Stokes and
Etheridge, the blacks have uniformly
rallied around, the former. At the
close of the meeting in Nashville they
escorted him for several squares; and
cheered him enthusiastically all the
way. A correspondent Of the Cincin-
natl Gazette thus describes the candi-
dates:
Etheridge is a man Of fine personal
appearance, is we'll dressed, has an
ari5tocratic air, clothes his thoughts in
excellent language, introduces classical
quotations, and decks his speeches with
the choicest flowers of rhetoric. He is
proud, naughty, cold, and altogether
wanting in sympathy with the uncul-
tivated and tOiling masses. This may
be a harsh Judgment, and untrue in
fact, but it is the impression he makes
upon a stranger. Stokes, on the other
hand, is wanting in all the graces of
person. When he rises to speak to Z
crowd your first impulse is to laugh.
His head looks like a peeled onion
He has a huge nose, and his great
round eyes glare on you like a spectre
from the tomb. He neither knows
nor cares a fig for grammar, rhetoric,
or the classics. But he is a mighty
man before the people. HeknOws how
TO catch their ears and win their hearts.
He IS, I have no doubt, the best stump
speaker in Tennessee. 1 am much
mistaken if those great round eyes of
his are not glaring upon Mr. Etheridge
in his dreams tonight. 1t should be
added that Mr.. Stokes has great adj
vantage in compass of voice, and vital

AMERICAN PoMoLoGY.-Dr. John A.
Warder, the celebrated Horticulturist of
Ohio, has recently given to the public un-
der the above title, a most able and COM
pIete work-so full of general information
and interest that it should find place in
every agricultural library. Written for
the whole American country, it is more
particularly designed for Western or
chardists. One most cOmmendable fea-
ture in the book is its simplicity. Some
horticulturists are so Ianguage-wise that a
common man will always get lost in their
Wilderness of Latin words. DIR. Warder
has discarded this abominable ito the COM
mon reader) feature and used plain Eng
lish. For instance: he calls a plant louise
by its right name, and don't come the
apHis on it. The work is truly mastery
one, from the very best authority, and is
already meeting with an immense sale. It
is published by Orange Judd & Co., Al
Park Row, New York.
