IMPEACHMENT A FAmuRE.

johnson was acquitted by vote of the
Senate on the 18th article, on last Satur-
day. The vote sums up yeas 80, nays
10, as follows:
For conviction Messrs. Anthony,
Cameron, Cattell, Chandler, Cole, Con-
ness, Concklin, Corbitt, Cragin, Drake,
Edmunds, Ferry, Frelinghuysen, Howe,

Maine; Morrill, OF Vermont. Morton,

son, McCreery, Norton, Patterson OF
Tennessee, Ross, Salisbury, Trumbull,
Van Wrinkle, Vickers.
Senators Fessenden, Fowler, Grimes,
Ross, Trumbull and Van Wrinkle, among
Republican members, voted not guilty.
The main hope of convicting the Pres
ident rested upon the "11th article OF
impeachment" 1t charges the Presi-
dent, in August, 1866, at Washington
City, in public speech, with denounc.
ing Congress as an unconstitutional and
illegal body, hanging upon the verge Of
the Government, and as rump Con.
gress, and with using other approbiu:
terms calculated to bring the Legislative
branch of the Government into disgrace
and disrespect. Also with attempting
to prevent Mr.. Stanton from resumine
the functions of the War Department
notwithstanding the Senate had refused
to concur in-the suspension of Stanton
by the President.
Senator Edmunds proposed to hay,
the vote upon this article first.
The Senate Immediately adjourned

NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

The Opera House at Chicago has been
taken for the Republican National
Convention. The delegates, alternates,
reporters, will occupy most of the avail
able space. 1t is thought the Convention
will be the largest ever held in the
country. The exciting situation of pub
lie affairs crowds the city with host OF
politicians. besides the delegates. The
Southern States, for the first time since
the war broke out, contribute their full
quota. New York with her three hun
dred men are nearly all working for
Fenton for Vice President. The Con-
vention is harmonious, and will instill a
spirit of enthusiasm into the ranks OF
tho Republican party that has not been
felt for years.
Everything is working with unanim-
ity that will insure success to the lust
cause of Republicanism.

GRANT,.

Of the several orders of genius, that
which is called. military genius, we re-
gard as the lowest in the scale of human
ability. 1t is the genius of brute force,
rather than of mental culture, and is
always most admired in the least civiliz-
ed countries and ages. With people of
highly intellectual refinement, the fight
er, whether on a large or small arena,
is, as best, man of doubtful reputation !;
but those men who, like Tell, Washing
ton, or Grant, take up arms when their
country is in danger, and lay them down
again, as soon as their regretted work is
done, are not fighters, strictly speaking,
but defenders; nor are they, in general,
among the admirers of the profession
of arms.
1t requires less talent to be boxer
or a swOrdsman, or an expert handler
of the rifle, or the leader and setter-on
of those, who use the weapons, than to
be an able statesman, or an acceptable
preacher, or a skillful lawyer, or good
physician. Nay, we ought to go fur
Their. We believe the talents, necessary
to qualify man to be an expert country
schoolmaster, quite above those requi-
site for a warrior.
Nor is this opinion of the fighting
profession unsustained by facts. During
our last war, a number of men, who, in
| time of peace, and while at home, were
in the very lowest ranks of life. having
scarcely ability enough to gain COM
| cfar 1>,,f h.
! bloody and wicked rebellion was wa
ged, and the voice of it reached their
ears, they started into consequence,
! flew to the field of strife, committed
some desperate feats, snch as any bur-
glar or untutored savage could venture
on, and, presto! they returned crowned
with laurels, and claim the admiration
OF their countrymen.
Such, in fact is the history of military
men of ancient and modern times.
Although General Grant was gradu-
ate of West Point, it cannot be said of
him that he was military man, or that
he had taste for military life, as he
resigned his position in the army and
retired to private life years before the
war Vi lIlC IcD0lllOH. Is nOI Il
great man, ror indeed is he great gen.
eral, but owing to a combination of
certain events during the war he was a
successful General, and if he is elected
President for the next term of years it
will then be determined whether or not
he is a great man.
Not because Grant is thought to be
our best material for President is he
nominated, but because he is believed
to be the most available man of the
Republican party. We believe there
were many men in the country who
possessed the military genius and fore
/ sight 20 have brought the rebellion to
as successful termination as did Grant,
but we believe he is deserving of a great
deal of credit for his boldness and sa-
gacity in leading our armies to victory :;
and if he makes as good President as
he has General, he will certainly prove
himself to be man endowed with an
uncommon mind.

THE LAST REBEL VICTORY.

Ever since his accession to the Presi-
tlency, Andrew johnson has as fully rep
resented The plans and purposes of the
rebellion as did Dagis or Toombs in its
palmiest days. What they failed to ac-
com2lish in the field he has done for
them through trcachery as Odiots and
deserving of death as that of Benedict
Arnold.
For month this wretch has been on
trial for his treason pefore the United
States Senate, sitting as high court of
impeachment. The trial was, of neces-
sity, q mere form. The Senate and the
whole country knew every syllable of
the evidence long before it was given.
On the main points at issue the Senate
had solemnly declared that johnson
had violated the laws and insuIted the
representatives of the people. The peo-
pie themselves, with the unerring in
stinct of the masses in matters affecting
popular liberty, had declared against
the President as an ally of the rebellion,
and an enemy of the country, and had
demanded his conviction and deposition
through the forms of the law, months
before Congress seriously took the mat.
ter in hand. 1t was a political trial
The Senate sat as a Court, but their
plain and only duty was to enter up
Judgment on the verdict of the people,
already found, They could not do
otherwise without self qualification and
n violation of their plain duty to the
people.
Thirty-six votes were necessary to
convict. The Republicans had forty
two Inombers of the Senate. At the
appointed time the vote was had on the
eleventh article, the one on which the
strongest case against the President had
boon made. 1t resulted in but thirty
flee votes for conviction-seven Repub-
Hcan senator's having Joined hands with
the rebels for acquittal.
This result, so unexpected, is terrible
blow at loyal reconstruction. 1t is more
humiliating and will prove more dis
astrous to the Union cause than Bull
Ran. 1t will add thousands of butch
cries of loyal men in the Southern
States to those that have heretofore
been sacrificed to Presidential hate and
treason-and what is more it throws
the first and only cloud over the result
of the Presidential campaign the coun-
try is now entering upon. 1t is com
plete delivering over of the country in
to thcohands of the late Inundated re.
bellion, for the remaining months o.
Johnson's administration for all which
we have to thank the sneaks who, UNI
der the sniveling cant about the 'tsanc.
tity of an OATH" ate their own. words
falsified their pledges, and proved false
at once to party and country. AS the
treachery of johnson made that of Ty.
Ter respectable, so will this detection OF
honored and trusted Republican sen,
ators make Johnson's treason shade
less dark. May the gold wherewitI
their descent to hell was paved, do then
much good! ..
