W" The appointment of Adjutant' Gen.
Thomas, as Secretary of War, ad interim, in
place of Mr.. Stanton, whose stupidity and
imbecility was made go glaringly apparent
on his examination before the court of I'm
peachment as q witness for the President, is
OF itself gross outrage, so much 30 that
even some Of the Democratic members Of
Congress have declared that the President
deserved impeachment for making such
stupid blunder. The New York Tribune,
referring to this matter, says :-"The Presi.
dent seems determined to add to the charge
Of having appointed Gen. Thomas in viola.
tion of the Constitution and the laws, tho
severer charge of having appointed an un
mitigated 5lockhead, in violation of com.
mon sense. That any witness should swear
minutely to variety CT facts, swear when
cross-examined with equal minuteness that
these facts were all untrue, and swear again
on the redirect examination to their truth,
is marvellous even to those who have long
experience and familiarity with ali sorts OF
witnesses. Yet it is such a person whom
"public considerations of high character
have impelled President johnson to ap.
point to the difficult and responsible office
of Secretary of War, in place of lir. Stan
ton. Had no Tenure Of Office law ever been
passed, the forcible removal of Secretary
Stanton to make room for Lorenzo Thoma:
would have justified impeachment, if for nc
other cause than that, with nobody but Gen
Thomas in the office, there would have been
a perpetual vacancy"

ed to decide. He then proceeded to argue
at length in favor of allowing General Sher-
man to answer the question put to him.
The admissibility of General Sherman's
evidenc, in relation to the several converse.
tions he had with the. President, lead to
protracted discussion, but the Senate final
ly decided that private talk between the
President and General Sherman would not
be used as evidence in favor or against the
President. The counse! for the President
made several other Intellectual efforts to in
troduce conversations of the President, but
the Senate decided not to hear it. The
question of the inadmissibility was so plain
that even Buckalew, great spokesman for
the President, voted ''No"
The decision of this question will rule the
main defense of the President out OF order,
and it is conceded that the trial must close
within the next ten days

e9- THE Democrat does not seem to agree
with Us, that the President is not entitled
to any more rights than the humblest citi-
zen. The present race of Democrats are fast
becoming man worshippers, if we beliey C
their journals, and are adopting the opinions
of Southern Democrats, that laborers are
mere "mudsills of society" The Democrat
answers US with sneers at and a seeming
justification of tho assassination of Lincoln,
thus following the lead of Brick Pomeroy.
In regard to the right of suffrage il the
South, we have only to say that in South
Carolina, where negroes preponderate, the
Democrats have decided to let negroes vote,
provided they hold a certain amount of pro-
perty. The truth is, the Democrats nowhere
object to negro suffrage where they can be
made to vote tho Democratic ticket.

~" THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL.--The
counsel for the President having called Gen.
Sherman to give his opinion and the decla.
rations of the President, in regard to the
suspension of Secretary Stanton, the ques.
sion of admitting such evidence was ably
argued by counsel on both sides, but the
counsel for the President were utterly over
whelmed by their opponents, and the Senate
decided by vote of 50 to Is against the
admission of such testimony. Subsequent
ly, the Senate admitted Gen. Sherman to
give his views, aud the Presidents declara.
tions, not because he could do so legally,
but because they desired to give the Presi-
dent the benefit of any thing that might
excuse his criminal conduct. They failed,
however, in making out anything from Gen.
Sherman's testimony. The managers have
conducted the case with great ability Gen

SERIOUS HccIDEST.-Yesterday morn
ing August Lehman, baker, on ] street
near Second, with his sister-iu-law, Mrs.
Lehman, and several Of her children,
Mr.. Gregory aud children and several
other neighbors, Wished the vicinity Of
Burns slough on n private picnic. The
day was spent pleasantly until the party
prepared to return home, at about ~
o'clock P. n. When ready to start for
the city, Lehman got into his wagon,
but before he got hold Of the lines the
horse became unruly. In backing or
turning the wagon, both vehicles, after
locking together, were upset. Lehman
and several children were thrown from
one wagon and Gregory and several
children from the other. Gregory, in
falling, lit on. his hands and sprainsd
both thumbs badly. Lehman was found
to be seriously injured. The wheel Of
the wagon had run across his head.
The left under jaw was broken and the
face otherwise injured. He also dis
charged blood freely, indicating internal
injury. He was quite dellrious last
evening. Charles Lehman, q boy Of six
years old, had the flesh Of his left. leg
badly cut aud his collar bono broken.
Several others were slightly injured.
Both wagons were broken to pieces. A
messenger was sent to the city, who
took out DR.. Cluness to attend to the
wounded and three hacks to bring the
party to the city.-Sae. Union, 27M.

mainly toward the proposition that i'm

strength will probably be concentrated
upon him, and the "shrieks Of loyalty "
as Greeley says, will be in his favor, as
against Wade-Grant and Wade both
being Western men. The prevailing inn
preston is, however, that Wade will be
nominated, if he becomes acting Presi-
dent. It is also said that Gov. Woods
Of Oregon, who is now in the East, de-
sires to secure the nomination for the
