I@~ The Cincinnati Enquirer advo-
Gates the nomination of Geo. Fl. Pendle
ton, of Ohio, as the candidate of the
Northwest for President Encouraged
by the result of the recent elections, he
is put forth as the worthy, coming and
representative man. The Enquirer says
He is not only 0hio's choice, but he is
the favorite of Kentucky, who will send
a full delegation for him to the national
convention. Indiana, Illinois, Missouri
and Minnesota will not be behind Ohio
and Kentucky in their devotion to Ohio's
noble and trusted statesman. He is by
all odds this day the strongest candidate
in the Northwest and we have reason to
believe in the United States.
He possesses in great degree the
Democratic popular confidence that was
given to Stephen A. Douglas, and upon
him has fallen in the Northwest the
mantle of that eminent man. A gentle
man, a scholar, and a statesman, whose
character is known to the country, and
is everywhere recognized and respected
Dy I'LL pdEtlco, III tuO fSiy pAAmC Vi hiC,
with a mind Injured to cultivation and
study, with the habits of profound
thinker, the experience of tried legisla-
tor, eminently sound in Judgment, elo-
quent in the expression of his thoughts,
candid in his political views, with an in
tegrity that was never questioned, he is
that model of President which we had
in the early days of the Republic.
With him as our candidate, standing
upon the platform of the Constitution,
equal Justice to oil sections of our COM
mon country, with equality to all, special
privilege to none, the same currency for
the bondholders that the people are com.
PEELED to receive, the prompt payment of
the public debt as it falls due in the legal
tender of the nation, the immediate res
toration of the Southern States to the
Union, with their full share Of represen-
tation in both branches of the. Govern
ment, as guaranteed by the Constitution,
and universal amnesty for all political
offenses With such a platform, and
George H. Pendleton as its exponent,
we will sweep Ohio by fifty thousand
majority, and also the country, as we
did with Franklin Pierce in 1862, when
the conuueror Of Mexico, General Scott,
was the candidate Of the opposition.

that any change Of public sentiment bad

to the last ditch, and only surrendered
when overpowered by Grant, to whom
the country owed more than to any other
man. Ifto-morrow foreign war should

that the reconstruction acts Of the Presi-

RICHMOND.
The Virginia Observation-Disclosures
Returns-Conservatives Hopeful
of Majority in the Convention.

RICHMOND, October 23.-The second
day of the election in this city passed of
without any disturbance. The Conserva-
tives are confident that the victory is
theirs. Many of the negroes forgot the
names they had given when registered,
and many have left the city since re-
gistration. The polls were closed this
evening, with white majority of
SAL. The vote upon the question OF
calling convention cannot yet be as
certained, but nine-tenths of the whites
voted against it. At the solicitation of
the Radicals, Gen. Schofeld has ordered
the polls to be opened in three wards to-
morrow. Much dissatisfaction exists
among Conservatives in consequence.
The military were on duty all day, but
their services were not needed.
Returns from the counties indicate
that the colored men voted en- masse for
the Radicals, and in favor of conven-
ton. The line between the blacks and
whites was distinctly drawn.

Banks as a Speculative Finibuster.

The contemplated visit of. General
Banks TO Mexico is not TO recruit his
health, but 10 replenish bis purse. II il
said here that he has been commissioned
TO make the trip by n number Of New
England capitalists who are anxious TO
obtain the right to establish a railway
from Tehuantepec to the Pacific ocean.
During the Mexican war a Mr.. Hargous
received charter giving him the right
to construct the line, but it is said that
he sold it to Mr.. Roberts, of New York.
The latter, however, was unable TO com
ply with the condition imposed, which
provided that 100000 in gold should be
paid to the Juarez Government, and the
grant was rescinded on that account.
Some of the agents of Roberts then So
licited Macmillan for the privileges thus
refused by Juarez, and, owing to tbs
circumstance, Juarez, after the Empe-
ror's DEATH declined to entertain their
for renewal of the charter
on any terms. The great railroad enter
prise was thzs opened to Yankee specu-
lation, and General Banks is now anx-
ious to obtain the prize. This is said to

Our whole Anglo-Saxon jurisprudence is
nervaded by the spirit OF that maxim.
fts very superiority TO the civil jurispru.
dence, as a bulwark and defense Of indi-
yidual freedom, and as q means OF elicit
ing Justice, consists in this magnani-
nous and tender regard for the rights
of the least as well as Of the greatest
of It's subjects. The meanest male
factor, though he were caught
in the very act Of robbing his neighbor's
hen roost, would yet, in the eye Of the
law. be deemed spotless citizen till his
ofFense should be fixed upon him by
regular process Of law. Now, are not
nublic officers entitled to the benefit Of
The same liberal and prudent construc-
tion2 Are they to be condemned first
and tried afterwards2 Or, is the mere
accusation of crime 10 be taken as
conviction, and the criminal be forced to
purge his name at his own cost and haz.
ard TO escape punishment We are
10th TO believe that any Congress of the
United States would enact such rever.
sal of one of the most venerable and
accredited muniments OF justice.
But the objections to this proceeding
are not confined to so general and philo-
sophic a consideration. 1t would be a
paluable, even fragrant, violation of the
letter of the law, as well as of the spirit
The Constitution-we trust the writer in
Harper will pardon us for referring to
an instrument SO precious to the apol-
ogists of rebellion" as he AYERS provides
that the President, the Vice.President,
and all civil officers OF the United
States shall be removed from Office,
on impeachment for, aud con-
yiction of, treason, bribery, or
other high crimes and misdemeanors."
That is, in the event of any civil officer
being regularly impeached, regularly
tried, and regularly convicted, the PEN
atty shall be his loss of his place. No
other penalty is within the competence
of the court of impeachment Other
courts, the ordinary courts of law may,
on Indictment and judgment, inflict
other legal punishments; but judgment,
in cases OF Impeachment, is confined to
removal from Office and disqualification.
Yet, this scheme for suspending the
President proposes nothing less than
to inAict upon him, from the
is, before trial and con-
very penalty that is provided
for him after trial and conviction. 1t
used to be said of General jackson, that
he hung Arbuthnot and Ambrister first |
and tried them afterwards; and that is
what is urged in reference to
President johnson. He is to be removed
from his office first, and then he is to be
tried, in order to find out whether he has
done anything that merits removal. In
other words, it is to be assumed that
be is guilty; he is to be punished as if
be were guilty, and then it is to be in.
vestigated whether he is guilty or not.
Surely no American Congress will be
found to stultify itself in so obvious
manner and to such degree. On the
contrary, let us hope that, considering
BUR financial and revenue systems, it
will discover something more important
to pursue than this peurile game.
