Impeachment.

The Cincinnati Commercial of November
18th, has the following dispatch from
Washington
The excitement on the subject of the
impeachment still continues. 1t is high
tened to-day by a Strengthening of the
impression prevalent yesterday that ma
iority of the Judiciary Committee would
report in favor of impeachment. There is
no doubt that this will prove to be the
case. Churchill, of New York, has I'M
doubtedly joined the inpeacheFs, making
five against four.
WAsH1NoToN, Nov. 23.-The views of
a majority of the committee favoring i'm
parchment, which was first announced to
the country through your correspondence
has, Of course, excited tremendous sensa-
ton. Week kneed Republicans and time
serving Conservatives are alike alarmed,
and both are moving every possible inAu-
ence to prevent the issue being made. If
the majority Of that committee hold to
their purpose there will be lively business.
THE PRESIDENT WILL DO HIS DUTY.
The President, when interrogated to-day
as to what would be his course in the event
of impeachment, replied that he would edo
his duty" and although his answer is not
satisfactory, and his inaction cannot in
apire confidence, yet it is prOfessed that he
will rise with the emergency, and by in
trepid action strengthen his friends and
thwart the designs Of the enemies Of the
country.
In Congress on Tuesday last the read
ing Of the report on impeachment was
commenced, but on motion dispensed with.
aud only the conclusion Of it read. It
declares Andrew Johnson guilty of high
crimes aud misdemeanors, and embraces a
resolution for his impeachment. The mi
nority report was also submitted by the
four dissenting members of the committee.
The consideration Of the whole subject was
postponed until Wednesday. December
4th.
The charges against she President are,
usurpation of authority IN attempting to re-
store the Southern States, corrupt dispo-
sal OF Government property, improper use
of the PardOniDg power, aud habi'ua
drunkenness.
The committee has not only failed tC
substantiate a single one Of these charges
but they have been empbatically and dis
tinctiy, disprOved by the most distinguish
ed and respectable witnesses.

Back Rations.

The Montgomery Gala Hail ofthe 10th
says:
II may not be generally known, but it is
nevertheless fact that our State Supreme
Court has decided that the negroes were
emancipated not by the action Of Parsons
Convention, but by the proclamation Of
Lincoln and the Federal army. II our
present Court is of this opinion. how much
stronger in that direction will be the Opin-
ion of court elected by a Rump negro
Legislature Acting upon this view Of
the case, black negro from Dallas, in
the Piebald Convention, day before yester-
day, offered the following resolution
ResoIved, That the Committee on Ordi-
nances be required to inquire into the ex-
pediency of passing an ordinance giving
the eolOred people of this State, a fair
Equivalent for their services from those
who held them in slavery from the Ist OIL
January. 1868. to the Goth of May, 1865.
A calculation made by that paper, for 90
months, places the amount due the negroes
of that State at $50, 100000. This heat
little arrangement of the Radicals would
enable the Sheriff to sell out the lands Of
every white man Of the State and put the
! negroes in possession.
Upon this ordinance every white man in
the Convention, with few exceptions, 70
ted in the negative, and every imported
Yank and negro, with a few exceptions
voted in the affirmative. The resolution
passed by So to 81.

Louisiana.

The Reconstruction Convention met on
the Esd and elected oolored men temporary
Ohairmen and secretaries. No permanent
organization was effected and the Couyen-
tion adjourned to Monday. There were
forty-four negroes ard twenty whites
present at the cPucus. Judge TalliOferO
seems to be the choice for permanent chair
man, but it is probable that the negro
members will elect one of their own color.
1t was understood in IL 9 caucus that the
first step Of the Convention would be to de-
clare all the State Offices vacant and TO
make their own appointment.
LATER.-Mr. TallioferO was elected per-
lnanent President, and the other offices
filed by negroes.

Ben. Wade characterizes Thad. Stevens
pending confscation bill ''as id foolery.
The time for confscrtion bills, he said,
was during the war, when they could be
of use in preventing men from going into
the rebellion. but to think of passing such
measure now was sheer folly and nonsense.

WORTHY OF IMMIrATIoN.-We notice in
a Western paper the fact that there is 8
merchant in the town in which the paper is
printed, who when man buys a good bill
of goods from him, makes the purchaser a
present of the village paper, in which he
advertises, for one year, and thus be mana
ges to keep his customers constantly re-
minded of his business and he never will
forget such present. Should that man
give his customers a few dollars in green
backs or in goods it might be forgotten ;
but when he is once a week for ffty-twO
weeks placed in receipt of his friends boun-
ty, can any one doubt its being good way
to advertise This is worthy of imitation
by the business men of Pulaski.

A year ago every one who wrote or
spoke against the foolish project and dan
gerOus precedent 0: impeaching the Presi-
dent for political offense was said to be il
league with Copperheads, and the aiders
and abeltors of treason and felony. The
fall elections have, however, changed the
tune of most of the advocates of this semi
revolutionary scheme, and it is not dis
guised that the republican party would be
a good deal better off to-day if it had never
started the proposition. A few Democrat
ic victories seem to have scared the God
dess Of Justice into an elephant of which it
is not easy to see the best way to get rid.

The nations honor must be preserved at
whatever cost. Public faith is the founda-
ton Of private faith, aud public repudia-
ton would result in universal demoraliza-

be, must be paid to the last farthing. We
are in favor of paying it in manner and
form as is provided by law. and as nomi-
mated in the bond. An insignificant
amount of bonds is made payable in coin,
and must be SO paid. The great majority
of these bonds are payable in ''lawful

Congsess.

At the meeting of Congress on Thursday
last, objection was made to the swearing
in of the Tennessee delegation on account
Of it's various members having at some
time during the war given in their adher-
euce to the Confederate Government. The
Murfreesboro Monitor says:
Our accomplished and particular friend,
the "Reppersentertive from this Dees-
trict," Mullins, was objected to on the
ground that he bad made speeches in be-
half of it had lent his aid and support to
it j; had attempted to raise troops for it,
and made speeches in Bedford county in
1861. in which he urged the young men
to enlist in rebel companies and defend
their homes and fresides.
After a lengthy discussion, however, all
the members elect from Tenne ssee were
sworn in except Judge Butler, whose case
goes before the committee.
