How the Message was Receiyed-k Sharp
nisCUSsian.

Discussion.
The message had acted upon a portion Of
the members something akin to the effectof
red rag upon the bovine genus The i'm
peachers fairly foamcd with rage, and there
was more of fury in their manner than can
be extracted from their matter. Their spe-
cial complaint was that the President had
dared to say that he can "never willingly
surrender the trust reposed in the Executive
to see that the laws are faithfully executed"
This the impeachers interpreted as meaning
that Mr.. johnson will not execute the recon-
struction acts.
The discussion lasted an hour, and provok-
ed severe retort from Mr. Wilson, chair
man of the judiciary Committee, who depre-
Gated this ''hounding of members" as he
characterized the behavior Of the impeachers.
for refusing to coincide with them in their
schemes The excitement during this debate
was equal to the highest tension ofany of the
exciting scenes of the last session of Congress,
and the speeches and manosnvres disclosed a
very well-defned division Of sentiment among
the Republican members on the subject of
impeachment, the impeachers being decidedly
in the minority.
Mr.. Randall said he would like the chance
to meet the impeachers before the people. He
should like to NEE. them face to face tight in
the enemy's camps. He asserted that they
did not mean to impeach the PRESIDENT
They did not dare to do it. What had the
President done that he should be impeached
Had he not been honest, faithful, diligent,
and correct in every particular? Let them,
if they dared, attempt to impeach the Presi-
dent.
Mr.. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, SAID : I
agree precisely with the eloquent speech of
my amiable colleague across the way (Mr
RandallD that we cannot impeaeh the Presi-
dent of the United States. But I say to our
friends on this side who are urging that meas
ure, they are urging it in vain. The result
of my motion the other day clearly disclosed
that And, without attempting to make
disclosures, [ undertake to say that there are
unseen agencies at work. there are invisible
powers at work in this country which will
prevent the impeachment of the President.
[ have taken some pains to understand the
composition of the House and the composition
of the Senate, and I am quite certain that
there are enough Of persons in the House,
first, to prevent the presentation Of articles of
impeachment; and secondly, that there are
enough of persons in the Senate, if articles Of
impeachment were voted to prevent the con-
viction of the President; so that I repeat,
any attempt to impeach the President will be
vain and futile. 1t is impossible to pierce
the panoply which surrounds the White
House.

Prospective Contingency Of A Negro Presi-
dent.

Somebody yesterday asked Fred. Doug
lass (black MANI why he didn't go down
South along with the lest of the Republican
orators, to help enlighton the minds of the
freedmen, as to their political duties, etc.
Because" said Fred. | want to train
alone. want to wait till those mean whites
get through with their talk, and then 7 will
begin. | notice that in all the speeches that
Wilson, Kelly, and the rest of them have
been making to the colored folks at Rich
mond, Mobile, New Orleans and other pla-
ces, nothing is ever said about giving the
colored men Vice President Of their own
color. But they've got to make that con-
cession to us, and that's just what am 60
ing down South to tell our folks to insist
upon"
''But, Fred, do you think the Radical
managers will accede to that arrangement ?"
Il have no doubt of it all, sar; none at
all. Wendell Phillips and Horace Greeley
say they are in favor of it, and what they
say has got to be done They are the men
who run the Republican party along with
old Ben Butler, and whoever would run with
that party must do what they say"
"But, do you think, if they nominate
Grant for President, that Grant will con-
sent to have darkey on the same ticket as
Weep
Don't think anything about it, sar.-
Grant only counts one. It is not for Grant,
nor any other man, to dictate to the people
We are the people. Grant is but one of our
servants, sar IF he doesn't like his COM
pany, let him resign Plenty OF others,
sar, ready to to take his place; plenty of
others, sar."
''But, even if they nominate darkey for
Vice President, what good will that do you
or your race 2"
Don't talk, foolish child It will do US a
heap of good. In the first place, it will
make colored man presiding officer of the
Senate, and then, as the President may die,
he may be President of the United States.
That's my plan Of reconstruction, sar and
until it is adopted and made successful, sar,
the Union will never be restored, and the
country will never have peace"
There were other queries about to be sub
mitted to the distinguished man and brother,
but just at this moment Reverend Doctor
Cheever came along, and after introducing
Fred. to a blushing damsel (who was hang
ing lovingly on his arm the whole party
vanished in the direction of the Office Of the
Anti-Slavery Standard. Correspondence

DR.. DABNEY is well known as an Author. His
Life of Stonewall jackson has had an immense
sale-greater, probably, than any other Southern
book ever had. He has devoted much time and
research to his treatise, and has collected much
novel and instructive information for the vindi-
cation of the Southern people. The radical ques-
tons in debate are subjected to a thorough and
searching inquiry. Several of our most eminent
Statesmen, to whom the MS. has been submitted
have approved his work in the highest terms.
THE DIARY OF REFUGEE is from the pen of a
Lady who holds the highest social and literary
rank among the ladies Of Virginia Most of the
four years of the War were spent in and near
Richmond, in contact with distinguished militia
ry and civic characters. Like MANY of the best
women of Virginia, she was constant atten-
dant upon the sick and wounded, in the
Hospitals of that city. Her book is admi-
rably written and is thrilling narrative of
scenes and incidents which came under her notice
during those four eventful years large num-
Der of copies are already subscribed for among
her extensive acquaintance, without the employ
ment of any ageut.
Either of these books will be sent by mall post
paid on receipt of the price, or both together on
receipt of So.
Early orders from the Trade solicited Agents
wanted, to whom liberal discounts will be made.

It appears by the last advices that the IT.
repressible Santa Anna, instead of being shot
or hung, is not even in close confinement,
but is rambling about the city Campcchy on
parole. He is a fortunate man, and has so
often managed, when hard pressed, to alight
on his feet, that it would not be surprising
if he should ultimately escape from the per-
ilous position in which he is placed, and
even be able to reciprocate some of the COM
plimentary attentions he has lately received.
Juarez, however, must understand too thor
oughly the influence of Santa Anna in Mex
ico and his remarkable tenacity in the rec
objection of his injuries, not to take every
precaution against his having the opportu-
nifty Of upsetting the government which has
