ElnpeucihlnCn<.

The Baltimore Sm concludes an
article on this subject as follows:
1t is important to inquire of what
high crimes and misdemcanors tho
President could he convicted? The
answer is, that the same power which
can put in motion the Impeachment,
will control its decision. There are
no prescribed forms or definitions of
crime 30 limit the articles OF accusa-
ton, nor any rules of law by which
to restrain and control the body
having power to pass sentence. The
court which is to try is composed, in
part, Of the same men who are to de
termine apon the prosecution the
blinded majority which is swayed
through the unseen caucus. Under
such circumstances, arraignment is
equivalent to conviction and sentence
Some few weeks only remain Of the
present session. Within that period,
the necessary formalities could not
be perfected, SO that the trial should
wear that show of conformity to the
law which would be expected by the
American people. The mind Of the
public. hardly yet fully awakened to
the purpose of Impeachment, could
not very well bear the shock Of Il pre-
cipitate trial; nor is il essential to the
objects in view that it should take
place Immediately. There are lin
gcring doubts whether an impcach-
mcnt, initiated at one Congress,
would not fail unless the trial were
completed before It's adjournment
For these reasons, it is expedient
that the full DEVELOPMENT should :.ot
take place until after thc 4th of
March. Then. with the same as
sumed majority in both branches,
and with the color Of popular support
derived from the fact that the mem
bers of q new Congress come with the
sanction of q recent election to their
work, all will be ripe ior the coming
act OF revolutionary violence. To
use the language Of 4 paper Of exten-
sive circulation, ROW openly advo-
eating the impeachment: "Ihc es-
sential demands Of this great
revolution will be met, the Govern
ment in all it parts respond to the
voice Of the people as represented in
Congress, the States be reconstructed
and reinstated upon the pending
constitutional amendment, and new
epoch dawn upon the country with
the removal OF President Johnson. -
Such appears to be the position in
which the momcntous question
stands at >prcscnt. Our institutions
have SO lar borne every strain to
which they have been subjected We
may possibly be saved the terrible
ordeal of one branch pi the Govern
ment overthrowing another, and
using the forms Of law to subvert all
law and to trample upon all the just
limitations OF authority. But VIC
will only be spared that ordeal by the
people becoming awake in time tc
the dangers which threaten, and ut
tering IL language too plain for doubt
their condemnation OF schemes which
will reduce this country to 4 condi-
tion worse than that OF France dur
ing It's fatal revolution, or more pitia-
bic than the state of anarchy which
bligiits the rcpublic OF Mexico

In trial scene. at Louisville, Ky,
the other day, a young man, named
Foster, was charged with forgery.
Among the witnesses was the father
of the accused, who testified that the
checks were forgerics. When asked
If he had not paid similar checks for
his son, be replied, bursting into
tears, that he had paid between SIS,
900 and SIS, 900 for him. The heart
of the old man could stand it no
longer, being compelled TO thus make
public the faults OF his son. Tho
scene in the court was sad aud affect
ing in the extreme.

According to one of our exchanges,
Gov. Orr has stated that company,
with q capital Of five millions, is now
forming to commence . manufacture
ing establishment on large scale III

whom this statement was made is not
mentioned, nor is any information
given as to the nature of The enter
prise about 70 be started with such
ample means. 1t is to be hoped,
however, that the statement is cor
rect, as the use of so large capital
i'll any kind of manufacture Will help
to reconstruct our State on the most
solid foundations. Capital is one OF
the wants Of the South, which it will
be found most difficult to supply,
and its advent into our midst should
always be heartily welcomed.

Negro Suffrage.

The Louisville Journal states that
General Grant said, if he was IN Hi
nois, he would vote against negro
suffrage; if be was in the South, he
would vote for it, His argument is,
that, in the South, the black vote
would be controlled by the employer.
The object of the Southern States,
however, is not to secure an increased
number Of votes, but to preserve the
worth and purity of the ballot-box.
It is not because the negro's vote
would be cast against tho interests of
the section or wishes of the whites
but because it would introduce into
the exercise Of the franchise q largo
and dangerous number of ignorant
voters, controlled by their masters.
If they were few, their voting would
have less corrupting influence; bat
as they are many, they would vitiatc
the system.
If the radicals would let us alone.
the Southern States would coufer the
ballot upon the freedmen, upon con
ditions that the States, in their soye-
reign capacity, would prescribe.

Louis says motions have been made
III nearly all the courts in that city to
rescind the order requiring attorneys
to take the oath. The radicals here
are stunned by the decision against
it. They have not yet decided what
they Will DO about it. Governor
Fletcher's friends are greatly excited
by the letter "f General Vaughan, Of
Lafayette Comfy, addressed to Co
vernon Fletcher, calling him liar,
murderer, rohber and thief, and
openly accusing him Of fraud in the
