IMPEACHMENT
The New York Tribune Calls for the Ar
raignment of the President.

The New Tribune, which has of late
been very conservative in its tone, has at
laat seen the signs Of the times. and comes
out squarely in favor Of impeachment. In
Its issue Of Wednesday, after enumerating
the Presidents ofienses. il says:
Where will this end2 The President
means war. The country must stand aud
fight, or be defeated. We believe any
thing possible Of Mr.. johnson. His Ad-
ministration is record of deception,
cunning, disloyalty-aDtsgonism to the
best interests Of the country. He has
made the administration of Buchanan re.
spectacle by showing a degradation to
which even Mr. Buchanan could not sink.
lie has betrayed disparity; he has betrayed
his friends; he has betrayed his country.
Nothing is left of his Administration but
few miserable jobbers like those who
hang around him, aud few wretched
political adventures like Black. The
men who accepted coptumely for his cause
like Seward, and Randall, and Weles. he
is impatient to drive out Of his Cabinet.
The savage. of Sahara is not insensibls to
the obligations of friendship; but even
this no longer remains with Mr.. Johnson.
We. admonish the people to prepare for a
stern and high responsibility. 1t is nearly
a hundred days until Congress meets.
Till then We are powcrloss We can only
bow to this dreadful tyranny. The Presi-
dent appealed TO the country in his late
message. We join him in the appeal. Let
our friends organize everywhere Let us
make the canvass upon the infamy Of Mr..
Johnson's Administration, and having de-
ieated him at The ballot box, We can pre-
pare, through our Representatives, to con-
slider the best course to be taken to punish
him for his crimes against the sovereign
will of the American people.
VIEWS OF THE NEW YORK TIMES.
Tho New York Times, Of August zo,h
says:
Matters have gone too far to render doub

shuts out the last chance of reconciliation
and renders all compromise impossible

law which he i trying t. obstrsc', are n.

The Lawrenceburg Press says that in
Dearborn County they pay $4,000 epr
annum for the support Of lawyers, $4,000
for the support Of dogs, and $4,000 for
the support OF ministers Of the gospel.

and busy tines, largely attended. A

lowing in regard to these meetings:
"The people turned out with zeal aud
animation admirable to behold. Such
grand demonstrations in sustaining and
approving the acts Of the Both Congress

said with justice, that these works are too
historical for romances, and too romantic
for histories. Unless one is exceedingly
familiar with the real history Of the times,
he will never know whether he is reading
history or only romance. The historical
predominates in them, and most people
will read them as histories rather than ro-
mances. AS purely literary works, they
possess high degree of merit, and prove
that the writer has rare powers ofanaiyss

the genuine histories that from them alone
it is impossible TO say whore the real his

The meeting was harmonious aud pleas

ted By the recent donation Of s100, 000
from Wells County and 500, 900 from the
City Of Richmond towards this enterprise,
fsel entirely sauguine that tho road will be
pushed to an early completion. The
Office of the Company is to be removed al
oncef rom Winchester to Richmond.
The conduct of the city Of Richmond in
thus literally donating to this enterprise
is truly commendable. This city has al.
ways enjoyed the reputation of having a
rolid and substantial class Of citizens, and
correct, enterprising business men. Un-
like many other communities, they are
not disposed to sit down and rust out for
fear Of spending little money. They
seem to understand that this sum, large
as it may seem, is only temporarily loaned,
and that when the enterprise is once com
pleted it will all return to them. We
trust the day is not far distant when the
iron bond shall unite directly our town
with tho Quaker City.

Shooting ARRAY at Harrison.

On Monday evening about eight o'clock,
the usually quiet town of Harrison, Ohio.
was the scene Of bloody affair, which
will doubtless result in the death Of Bruce
Keen. 1t appears that John Smith, who
keeps tavern in Harrison, had committed
some misdemeapor, for which the Marshal
of the place had determined to place him
in custody. Smith being made aware iha,
he was to be arrested, boldly deaed the
Marshal, declaringthat there were not men
enough in the town to take him. The
Marshal, knowing the desperate character
Of the individual he had to deal with, call
ed upon several citizens TO assist him in
making the arrest.
Having secured a strong posse, he ad-
vanced with them upon Smith, who, def
ant as ever, drew his revolver, and threaten.
ed to shoot the first man who approached
A rush was made foy him, and the desper
ado, true to his threat, fred at Keen
who appeared to be in advance, the ball
striking him in the abdomen, inilictine
what is thought to be a mortal wound
The wounded man then sprang forward
wrested the revolver from the hands Of his
assailant, and was in the act Of shooting
him down when his friends came forward
aud prevented him. Smith was taken in
