President Johnson's attempt to fright
en- Congress out of its Reconstruction
Policy by representing that if it shall be
presisted in the general government, will
be answerable for the debts of the rebel
States, does not seem to meet with any
success. The democratic journals-endeav-
OF, by referring the presidents arguments
to give them additional force; but all to
no effect. Congress knows the govern
ment, in a matter of this sort, can be
bound for no more than the Legislative
department shall see proper to assume
and when the Seeding States shall be
reorganized and restored, they will have
all their former debts to pay, the credit
ors having the same security they had
before, and no more.

IMPEAeHMENT.-On the passage of the
supplemental bill over the Presidents We
80. there was no discussion in the Senate
put few pungent speeches were made
in the house. Mr. Boutwell,, of Massa-
chusetts, spoke with great force and eff
feet, exposing the corruption and usurpa-
tions of the President, and declared his
belief that the President is guilty of
crimes that ought to cause his removal
from office. 1t will be remembered that
Mr.. Boutwell, is member of the Judicial
ry Committee which has been investiga-
ting the matter of impeachment. Gen.
Butler made spirited speech arraigning
the President for false statements, and
for slandering the Congress of the D. S.,
by declaring that Congress had put up
on twelve millions of the people of the
country a despotism more intolerable
than ever was born by any other people.
Mr.. Williams, member of the Judi
ciary Committee declared that there was
no case in the parliamentary history Of
England in which We're aggregated so
MANY enormities as were to be found in
the Presidential career of Andrew John
son. and he was prepared to make good
against all corners, all he had said when
ever the House afforded him an opportu-
nifty.
Mr. Randall, (Copperhead of Pa.J de
fed the Republicans and said They dare
not iupeach the President!
Mr.: Stevens admitted the difficulty IN
the way of Observation-Disclosures the
mower and influence of the President to
be too great to reach him-men were lnfiu-
enced by fear or other reasons to hold
back-he undertook to say that there
were aaeseen agencies at work-'"css'6le
poacers which viii prevent the lmpeach-
ment of the President. He had taken
some pains to understand the compost

HENRY WARD BEEcuER has express
ed himself rather pointedly of the courts
and practice of law in New York, and
thinks that the notorious profigacy man
ifested there, requires that man should
go there purse in hand if he wished to
succeed in his cause. What has caused
this but the overestimate given to mon
ey, and the prostitution of every energy
to obtain it. And is Mr.. Beecher doing
any better? What with lectures at four
or five hundred dollars night, and writ
ing silly yarn for the Ledger at twen-
ty-fve thousand dollars, it seems that his
example in grabbing at money is equal
to that of any lawyer OF judge. Is the
ministry of religion compatible with pc
cuniary speculation? Is not the influ-
ence of such an example pernicious p
Shall we wonder at universal venality
when the sacred vestments are on pro-
lection against it? These reverend crit
les would do well to look at home and
revise their own score before complain
ing OF others no more guilty than them
selves.

The Richmond Wing has the following sensi-
Bile remarks in its issue of Saturday last:
"Some supersensitive gentlemen are
Mortified at the thought of cooperating
with the Republican party, considering
the attitude in which we stood towards
each other during the war, who are not
at all shocked at the idea of fellowship
ing the Democratic party. We have
heretofore directed attention to the fact
that the latter not only fought against
the south as fercely as the FORMER, but
that they were answerable besides for
having beguiled the South into the war
and then betrayed her. AS one of the
victimized, we believe we can declare tor
the whole South that the experiment OF
secession would not have been tried but
for the thousand times repeated assuran-
ces of the Democratic leaders that It an
army should be raised in the north for
the purpose of making war upon the
South, it would be met by another army
raised in the north to defend the Demo
cratic Interpretation of the Constitution.

Greeley's American Conflict" brings
up many things which the people have
well nigh forgotten. One is, that res
olution was at one time discussed by the
Confederate Congress as to the policy of
executing all Federal prisoners taken in
battle. The measure was strongly urged
by some of the prominent rebels both
military and civil Among the former,
non were more malignant than Beaure-
gard, as will be seen by the following
note addressed by him to William Por-
cher Miles, member of Confederate Con
gress, during the debate. 1t is dated at
Charleston, and reads as follows:
''Has the bill for the execution of Abo.
lition prisoners, after january next, been
passed? Do it, and England will be stir
ed into action. 1t is high time to pro-
claim the black flag after that period
Let the execution be with the garrote.
G. 7. BEAUREGARD."
This man, with his adherents, is now
clamoring about the tyranny of the
North in refusing to allow them the
rights they so thoroughly forfeited.

The Surratt Trial.

The evidence of Matthews, the actor
on which the defence relied so much, has
been rendered worthless, not only by the
Judges ruling, but by the confession of
the witness that, in his former testimony,
two years ago, he had sworn falsely
The paper which was put forward as a
copy Of the one which Matthews claimed
to have received from Booth and after
ward destroyed, was ruled out, Judge
Fisher saying that ifit was an exact copy
it was evidence enough only to establish
two facts-one was that there were four
fools as well as knaves who signed that
contract, and another was that if there
were others concerned in the conspiracy,
they had more sense than to sign the pa
per- 1t might have been that it was a
very part and parcel of the conspiracy,
as it may have been the plan fol. those
four to sign the paper to screen the
others. He could see nothing like ad-
nissible evidence in it at ALL Inasmuch
as the defence had placed great reliance
on this evidence, it is we'll to reveal some
facts connected with Matthews state
ments on former occasion, which put
him in very extraordinary light. Judge
Pierrepont, in his cross-examination COM
PEELED him to admit that two years ago
he had sworn to falsehood, and had
concealed facts within his knowledge
which he has lately exhibited great viii
lingness to reveal. In the first place, it
should be stated that the alleged agree
ment of the conspirators which Matthews
now says Booth handed him on the day
of the assassination, was directed to the
editor of the National Intelligence, and
not to Matthews himself, though he now
says he broke the seal, read it and de-
stroyed it. 1t is also known that Mat
thews has testified before the Judiciary
Committee, that the agreement was IN
Booths hand writing, and the signatures
of Booth, Payne, Harold s Atzerodt were
all in Booths hand, so that after all it
was a mere copy of the original with
much doubt existing whether there ever
was such an original document in exist
ence.
Two years, ago, on the assassination
trial, Matthews swore distinctly, several
times, that he had had no communication
with Booth for several days previous to
the assassination except in passing the
time of day or bowling. Out of his own
mouth he had been condemned, and the
the little stir made by bis testimony has
| already died out. Surratt's case looks
darker than ever His witnesses have
proved little, and that little will be more
than neutralized by the rebutting testi-
mony of the prosecution-at least so it is
claimed.

Luck sleeps and dreams Of fame and treasure
While labor gains both health and pleasure.
Luck in sloth is ever whining;
Labor tolls without repining.
Luck relies on fortunes favor;
Honest labor prospers ever.
Luck slides down with all its changes;

and secondly, that there are enough per-

We may well believe from what we
see of the action of certain Congressman
that the views of Mr. Stevens are correct.

is not virtue and unselfish patriotism

RESPECT FOR THE WORTHY DEAD, by

very novel and striking ways. The "cor-

resistable force aid flial reverence fifty
years after the demise of his great pro-

has come to light that shows how long 1t

A few days since Representative N.
r. Judd, of Illinois, introduced into the
House a resolution giving "a prominent
place in the old Hall of Representatives,
for the stone from the tomb of Servius
Tullius, sent here year ago, by the peo-
pie of Rome, to commemorate the virtues
of Abraham Lincoln. -
The fact that such q stone had been
sent, was not known by a dozen members.
1t appears that the stone arrived in
Washington some ten months ago, and
was sent by the State Department, to
which it had been consigned, to the
White House. 1t lay in front of the Elk
ecutive Mansion for several weeks, dur
which time it was relieved by servants OF
its boxing. 1t was then taken inside.
f'and subsequently carried into the cellar
tor safe keeping. Its inscription was
seen by prying visitor, copied, and
shown to Mr., Judd, who subsequently
saw the stone. The resolution of Con
gress concerning it, was presented to the
President on Saturday morning, but fht

DISASTER AT MARQUETrE-T Mining Ga
zcttc of Portage Lake gives an account of a dis
aster that occurred recently, that came near
carrying out of the world at one fell swoop,
a whole excursion party, in the midst OF their
'hilarity and happiness. A party of some 40
ladies and gentlemen, about o'clock, took the
tug &c. Morse for moonlight excursion. AT
about miles from Marquette, the tug ran upon
hidden rock and stove large hole in her bow.
Two ladies were thrown overboardby the shock
andthree gentlemen jumped after them. Allwere
rescued but MIR. Maynard, who was some dis
tance from the tug, and as she was rapidly fill
ing was Immediately headed for Partridge ISL
and. Before reaching it, the engine stopped
and the tug struck on a ledge some thirty feet
from the shore and settled nearly to her deck.
Here the party remained till day light, when
they were rescued by another tug A tritiing
delay to have rescued Mr.. Maynard, would un-
doubtedly have been fatal to the whole compa-
ny.
