PETTICoATs IN THE LEAGUE.-Not long
since-we do not know the exact data
negro woman took it into her head to pen
citrate the mysteries of the League at Pc
rote. After her husband had started to
the dark lantern concern she put on an
extra suit of his clothes and sought the
place of meeting. She was successful in
obtaining admission, and remained during
the proceedings. The husband, however,
beat her home, and when she made her
appearance of course explanation had to
be made in regard to her assumption of
the breeches. The whole truth came out,
and through the husband reached the
League. Death, by hanging, was decreed
as the punishment of poor Mrs. Africa's
curiosity, and committee was appointed
to execute the sentence. This was more
fun than the husband wanted. He reported
to the military authority, praying that pro-
ceedings might be stayed. Military turned
the case over to the civil authorities here.
Deputy Sheriff Wicker went on Tuesday
last, we believe, to arrest the ringleaders.
Resistance was made by other Leaguers,
and the deputy sent request to his chief,
Sheriff Hall, to send posse to his aid.
Yesterday morning quite a "cavalry !"
company, gallant and gay, went hence to
the rescue. Meantime the citizens or
Perote and vicinity had rallied, and ar
rested twelve principals in the affair, whom
they delivered here last night. The squad
who brought up the prisoners report Africa
in the neighborhood of Perote scared, de-
moralized, took to the swamp. NO one
hurt. and all quiet along Conecuh to date.

Impeachment Defeatesi
Special telegram to the Dispatch.

special telegram to the Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, December 7.-Immedi-
ately after the reading of the journal in
the House to-day the impeachers exhibited
a disposition to again resort to fllibuster-
ing, of forcing their opponents to yield to
the demand for further discussion of the
question of impeachment. From COM
parison Of views, privately, it was found
that each party was as determined as the
other, and that fillibustering would CONT
nue. to the end of the Fortieth Congress
unless some compromise could be made
in the mean time. Under the impression
that many Republicans Who would vote
for laying the subject upon the table would
not dare to vote squarely against the i'm
parchment Of the President, the impeach-
ers proposed that if the motion to lay on
the table should be withdrawn, and vote
taken directly upon the merits of the
case, they would cease further fllibus-
tering. This proposition was at once
accepted by the Republicans who opposed
impeachment, and vote being taken, re-
suited in 81 in favor of impeaching the
President and 1OS against. If full House
had been present the impeachers would
have had 60 votes and the opposition
124. During the call of names to-day
the most profound interest was mani
tested by members and spectators.
As each members name was called,
eyes were directed to him until he re-
sponded to his name. No noisy demon
stration was made, but never was scene
in Congress more impressive, and sensa-
tional nevertheless and when the result of
the vote was declared all seemed to breathe
freer, and all felt as though heavy weight
had been taken off the body polite.
There is general rejoicing tonight, and
members of Congress are calling on the
President to offer congratulations. Mr..
johnson behaves with exceeding good taste
and becoming dignity under the circum-
stances. WALLACE.

remarks of Cromwell, and declared
that the colored people of this country
could get no rights the whites did not see
fit to give them, and that the talk OF war
of races was all humbug. He alluded to
the disparity Of the negroes compared

ST. LOUIS, December 5.-Considerable
excitement prevails in Alton over horri-
BILE murder perpetrated there yesterday.
Two men, named Samuel Cabell and vii.
liam Skinner, together with man named
Patrick Donohoe, were sitting at table
engaged in game Of cards, when en- alter
cation arose, and the lie passed between
the parties, Cabell and Skinner, as we un-
derstand it, being against Donohoe. Words
led to blows, at which point bystander
stepped between the contestants, but Ca
bell reached round him with knife in his
hand and stabbed Donohoe to the heart,
being melted thereto by Skinner. Dono-
hoe lived but about ten minutes after re-
ceiving the injury.
Great excitement was manifested last
evening by the Irish citizens on learning OF
the murder. Crowds of them remained in
the vicinity of the Jail until late hour,
and threats were made of summarily
avengihg the death of Donohoe.
The brick steam Touring mill belonging
to Eugene Umfrid, in the town of Douglas

Finally Mr.. Wilson withdrew his motion
to lay the whole matter on the table, and
the vote was taken on the resolution of the

which was lost-ayes, 81; nays, lOs-ab-
sent, 81.
A motion to reconsider and lay the mo-
ton to reconsider on the table prevailed
and thus ends impeachment.
The resolution suspending the power OF
the Secretary of the Treasury to contract
the currency was passed-ayes, 1873; nays,

The House went into committee on the
message. Pending the debate, the Recon
struction Committee, to which Stevens re-
quested several points in the message to
be referred, was denounced as an obstruc-
ton to reconstruction. Mr.. Stevens's
struggle against, the turning tide excites

A number of the members of Congre

A number Of the members of Congress
are of the opinion that the act of Feb
ruary 20, 1868, regulates General Grants
tenure of office as acting Secretary Of
War. The language Of the act is that
when some officer of the Government
either the head of Bureau or otherwise,
is designated by the President to occupy
vacant Office in an emergency, he shall
not serve more than six months. General
Grant was detailed to act as Secretary Of
War ad interim, by virtue of the Presi.
dents authority as commander-in-chief o.
the army, and under the provisions of the
act of February 20, 1868, no such detail
can be made for more than six months, and
hepce, as General Grant was placed in the
War Office in August last, his term will
expire in February, and the President will
have to make another selection or Violate
the law.

The EFFECT OF ExpANs1oN.-Very ma.
turally, the initiatory steps of the Radical
Committee of Ways and Means in the

famine prices of -four. In the mean time,
all manufactures that give employment to
people who are expected to pay these en-
HANGED prices for the necessaries of life
are more depressed than ever. Men are
being thrown out Of employment every
day; business is choked up by the famine
prices of food and radicalism deliberately
legislates for their further advance.-Ne,r
