We take great pleasure in calling attention to
our friend Geo. II. Schneider in his fine estab-
lishment, Hoes & Leland's Block, La Sale St,
above Madison. Such place of business would
reflect credit upon New York or Chicago, or any
other great city Our friend Schneider has from
the very start shown lis ability, and his success
as a merchant only proves him to be the fright
man in the right place. Inspecting his place
the other day we were astonhhed at the stock of
goods piled up-leaf tobacco in bales and boxes
Of every grade, plug tobacco of endless variety,
and of fine cut the "ne plus ukra' of the age
His stock of pipes comprises great deal Of
ieverything in that Line, from ono cent TO twenty
five dollars. Tobacco and SNUFF boxes. pouches,
and fancy goods belonging to the business, to
please the million. And his fine old segars, both
as to quality and price, defy competition here or
elsewhere. To storekeepers, dealers and the
trade his Wholesale prce.list is worthy of atten.
ton. Don't forget the Tobacco House Of G. II
Schneider.

IMPEACHMENT.
THE PROBABLE VERDICT.
GREAT PRESS URE FOR CONVICTION.

As the impeachment trial draws to
close, the probable verdict of the judges
and jurors gives rise to considerable dis
cussion The exact power of the Senate is
debated, and particularly with regard to
the point whether, if they convict, they
must necessarily infict the penalty of re-
moval and future disqualification to hold
office The wight of the opinion seems
to be in favor of the view that the penalty
is not an inevitable sequitur of conviction
under fair construction of the seventh
clause of the third section, article first of
the constitution, and therefore that the
Senate is at liberty to find the accused gull
ty without proceeding to the extremity of
removal from Office. The development of
this new point has given rise to divers ru-
mors, among which is one to the effect that
the Senate will avail itself of this liberal
construction, aud, though it will find him
guilty, still will not remove President
johnson. It is hardly probable that any
such nolicy will be adopted. and far more
likely that the Senate, if it halts at all, will
conclude to acquit the President entirely
Our Washington kilograms this morning
would seem to indicate that the result OF
the trial will hardly be reached before the
latter part of next week. The correspon-
dent Of the Baltimore Gazette, alluding to
the closing speeches of the counsel, says,
ga number of the friends of the President
have abandoned all hope of his acquittal,
and regard the anticipated argument as on
| ly waste of time auda mockery, as has been
the whole trial"

ANOTHER VICTORY IN BLOOMINGTON, ILLINOIS.
BLOOMINGTON, I'LL, April 2O-The
greatest triumph for the Democracy was
achieved in the city of Bloomington, to-
day, by the election of John M. StillweD
as mayor, that has ever gladdened tie
heart of Democrat since the incorpora-
tion of Bloomington as city. The Demo
cracy turned out en- naaSSe, and with the as
sistance of the anti-P Puritans, anti-proscrip-
tionists, and the conservative Democrats,
rolled up the handsome majority of 235.
| Bloomington has heretofore been the
hot bed of Radicalism the nursery of
woman suffrage and negro equality princi-
pies the nest of Puritanism, in which has
been hatched all the foul isms which SO
happily return to plague their inventors,
and recoil upon them with such deadening
effect. Every effort was made by the Bad
icals to carry the election. A procession
of one hundred and fifty women marched
from poll to poll, electioneering enthusias
tically in the cause of prescription, prohi
bition, and pro. women, all of which had
the desired effect of disgusting those who
might have voted the Republican ticket
into voting a clear Democratic ballot. A
mayor and three aldermen out of five is q
triumph of which we are Justly proud, and
tonight we are celebrating our victory by
the firing of cannon, bonires, and music.
The German and Irish elements came tc
the help of the Democracy with firm and
unfinching determination to assist thai
party, which will not prohibit nor prescribe
any of their rights. The Democracy o.

The Attempted Assassination of Judge A.
N Ogden


N. Ogden.
One of the most fragrant and diabolical
outrages which has ever been our province
to record occurred Wednesday evening in
the suburban village, on the Carrolton
railroad. 1t appears that as our aged and
esteemed fellow-citizen, Judge A. n. Og-
den, was returning to his home in Green
vile from O visit to the town of Carrolton,
some three-quarters of q mile above, and
as he approached the gate of his residence,
he heard foot-step behind him, and turn
ing saw a tall and athletic looking negro,
who advanced with threatening mien.
Judge Ogden asked the negro what he
meant, when the latter replied !: 81 hear you
have been running down the carpet-bag
gers" and Immediately thereupon struck
| the unarmed and helpless old man a severe
blow upon the head with club, when the
Judge shouted for assistance, and threw up
his right arm to ward off another terrible
| blow which was aimed at his head, and
| which laid bare his arm to the bone from
| the elbow to the wrist, crushing his hand
and telling him to the earth. While lay
ing senseless upon the ground, this negro
| fend in human shape struck him several
other violent blows Upon the head, produ-
cling severe cOntusiOns and laying open the
scalp to the bone.
son of the Judges, IL. n. Ogden,
Esq, hearing his fathers cry for help,
rushed out from the house, but not until
after the villain had fled, and found his
father lying senselss and wounded on the
ground. assistance being procured, the
Judge was carried into the house and medi-
cal assistance at once dispatched for. We
learn this morning that DIR. Chopin,
though esteeming Judge Ogden's condi-
ton critical, has great hopes of his ultimate
recovery. The Judge revived sufficiently
this morning to relate the circumstances of
this villainous assault, as narrated above.
Judge Ogden is one of our first citizens,
esteemed, respected and beloved by large
circle Of acquaintances.

Impeachment Gossip.

It is generally acknowledged now that
the President will be convicted. The pro-
gramme is to acquit him on all the minor
points and to find him guilty on some lead
ing one, which will probably be the re-
moval of Secretary Stanton. The necessities
of party require this Most of the members
| are under party lash and outside influences
are also very strong. Nothing but secret
ballot can effect the result unless indeed
| the next days bring wonderful changes
The discussion will probably be prolonged
for that time now that the field of discus
sion has been thrown open.
MIR. Boutwell, presents fine personal ap-
| pearance being regarded by the ladies gen
orally handsome, and his voice is rather
| pleasant than otherwise, while his manner
| is modest In all these particulars he is
| the opposite to Manager Butler, who has
been on exhibition so long. It was some
| relief to the eye to see decent actor on
the impeachment stage. although his speech
be pronounced, as Boutwel's is, an ex-
ceedingly weak affair. AS an evidence of
the total lack of interest in his speech it is
only necessary to say that after the recess
there had to be call of the Senate in or
der to secure him an audience even of the
Court of Impeachment.
Boutwell, has heretofore enjoyed some
| thing of the reputation of a scholar and
lawyer, but his production to-day has
shown how much he had been slandered
in this respect He declared the issues be-
tween Congress and the President to be
purely technical, and said that the Senate
in settling these issues would settle the
most important point of pratice ever be-
fore settled under this government. It is
truly novel if not rough mode of set
tling a point of practice by impeaching the
head of the nation, although the issue pre-
sented be purely technical one.
The speech of Mr.. Stanbery has been
partially prepared and part of tits print
ed. He hopes to be able to read it before
the Senate, but if disappointed in this he
will have it read by one of his associate
counsel. The President had a consultation
with Mr.. Stanbery to-day, but with that
exception he has declined seeing visitors.
Wash. Cor. Baltimore Gazette.
Hon. Reverdy johnson and two or three
of the other Senators have taken pretty
full notes during the entire progress of
the trial, and it is probable that they,
with other Senators, may desire to make
arguments on the legal aspects of the case,
and hence an effort will be made, probably
successful, to change the rule restricting
each Senator to ten minutes time on the
discussion of preliminary and interlocutory
questions.
From the best information now obtain
able, it may be assumed that three days at
least will be occupied by the Senate in
making up it's verdict, so that the trial will
not probably all be over before the 5th of
May. Be it borne in mind that this new
delay does not come from the counsel of
the President, who expressed themselves
as perfectly Indifferent to the matter.
