On Monday last, the "Grand Army
of tue Republic" 100000 strong,
more or less, offered to march to
Washington. to put down the usurpa-
tions of Johnson. Tuesday @ me-
mortal was presented to tile Senate,
from the "Grand Army of the Re
public, " setting forth that their SER
vices have not been sufficiently re-
cognized, and praying for a portion
of the departmental and other offices.
We should like to know what connec-
ton there may nave been between
these two grand moves of the "Grand
Army" and also whether tho leaders
in the first movement were not also
leaders in the second. The coinci-
dence between them, the New York
Times thinks. is rather funny. It is
not certain that Congress will need
the aid Of the Loyal Leagues and
the lodges of the Grand Army of the
Republic, which have volunteered to
defend and protect it in its course;
but motion was made in the Geor-
gia Convention, n few days since, for
an adjournment and subsequent
re-assembly, the latter to last $50
long Us it may be necessary for the
protection of the loyal Georgians and
the Congress of the United States. +"
Let congressman, therefore, stand
firm; or, as Mr.. Sumner would say,
"!stick. " The Georgia Convention
backs them.

CONFEDERATE PROPERTY IN ENG

CONFEDERATE PROPERTY IN ENG

considerable amount of Confederate
property, including some cash bal
ances in Liverpool, were attach

ment in England, but some of the
principal witnesses having been per-
sonhlly implicated in the rebellion,
and their estates, if any, on this side,
liable to confiscation, the English
Vice Chancellor decided that they
could not be compelled to testify,
where it would criminate themselves.
To remedy this obstruction, so rs to
make full discovery and surrender of
the Confederate property" abroad,
Congress has just passed an act of in

BALTIMORE AND CHARLESTON The
South, in her distress, has received
substantial aid from almost all por-
tions of the North, but nowhere has
it been accorded more abundantly or
with more real sympathy than in
Baltimore. The good deeds of the
people of Baltimore. have been con-
tinuous from the close of the war,
until the present time.
The following extract from the
prospectus of a new society, which is
published in the Baltimore Gazette,
of Monday, shows that the efforts of
Rev. A. Toomer Porter have not
been without result:
Tho name of the society shall be
'"The Pioneer Southern Educational
Aid Society,""
Its object shall be the promotion
of knowledge in those portions of
the Southern States where oppor-
tunities for education are limited,
and where the means of parents,
many of whom have been reduced
from affluence to penury, arc circum-
scribed. The society is not, however,
to be strictly charitable one. It is
to be essentially an Aid Society. Its
chief object is to encourage a de-
pressed and dispirited people, to
teach them how to aid themselves
and to give them heart in the midst
of their reverses, by assuring them
of substantial sympathy and con-
siderate cooperation. Its efforts
shall, for the present. be directed to
the development and permanent es-
tablishment of the Charleston Parish
and Home Schools, the former being
4. day school, for the education of
five hundred children, on the most
economical principles, and the latter
being o home for one hundred
boys, chiefly orphans and half or
phans, who are without means and
without parental care. This effort is
intended merely as a pioneer effort.
Should the success of the society
enable it to do so, it will hereafter
extend its usefulness to the estab-
lishment and encouragement of SINH
lar schools in other Southern States.
The schools of the society shall be
open to all white children, each of
whom shall pay whatever it can afford
to it's own education. No child shall
be received gratuitously whose pa
rents or guardians are in condition
to pay the very moderate prices
asked for tuition.
Commenting on this, the Gazette
says:
"It is estimated that 100 boys can
be clothed, educated and cared for,
and 500 children can be taught in
Charleston for about SO, 500 per an
mum. There the first effort is to be
made A portion of the money
needed will be raised at home, and
each year, it is hoped, the school will
become more and more self.support-
ing. If the efforts of the society
meet with the success it deserves,
similar schools will be hereafter
started in other districts, or, follow
ing the example of the parent So
ciety, others may be inaugurated
which will labor towards the same
end. In such cause, there is no
rivalry. 1t is for all and open to all,
and it is one which recommends it.
self particularly to every kind heart,
warm heart and thinking head.

The adIet or Despotism.

Tho Gdirt or Despotism. i..,
Some of the Northern papers are
endeavoring to delude the people
with the idea that the success of the
impeachment plot will give quiet to
the country by removing the cause, as
they allege, of all the agitation of the
public mind and the disturbance of
its business interest, that is, the Presi-
dent, who, they have the temerity to
assume, is responsible, though shorn
of nearly all his executive functions,
for the present evils which we suffer.
Some days ago the New York Times
said:
"The removal of the President, at
all events, will put an end to the con-
hict of authority and of action be-
tween Congress and the Executive.
We shall have Congress enacting
laws with the concurrence and ap-
proyal of the President; and we shall
have the Executive Department Civ
ing the full weight of its influence to
their execution. This, of itself, we
do not hesitate to say, will be very
great gain to the country, and will go
very far toward offsetting the mani
fold and manifest evils attendant
upon so unusual and violent mea-
sure as impeachment"
In somewhat similar strain, the
New York Tribune predicts that the
removal of the President will have a
happy effect in restoring quiet and
developing the wealth and strength
of the land. In other words, by alb
,sorbing the Executive in the Legis-
lative Department, and by rendering
the supreme Judiciary inaccessible to
those who would vindicate Constitu-
tional rights. the overcharged politi-
cal cloud will be freed from the cleo
'trical elements which threaten to
purify the atmosphere. By an 'unu-
sual and violent measure" as the
New York Times characterizes i'm
!peachment, the pulses of the national
heart will no longer be disturbed by
aspirations for Constitutional free
dom, and order will "reign in War
saw" These journals insult the COM
mon sense of the people by suppos.
ing that they cannot distinguish
between the quiet which is produced
by despotism and that which is the
result of the regular and healthful
administration, with all its functions
unimpaired and in harmonious ope-
ration, of free Constitutional Go
vernment But it is probable, in
deed, that the "quiet" is only the
calm which precedes the storm. If
the Northern people are self-possessed
now, is it not because of the depths
of their convictions and the con-
sciousness of their power to rescue
Constitutional liberty at the ballot
box? May they not then, asks the
Baltimore SIN, overthrow the faction
which offers them no quiet except
that which follows the extinction of
their political life and liberty?

firearms in the streets; but as the
