inscription upon the stone tells US that there
repose the mouldering remains Of Colonel Wash.
ington, 'rebel" Of revolutionary fame. All
about the place there is solemn calm and
tender beauty, for nature has in that little
nook been undisturbed for more than half
century. Passing en- few hundred yards you
reach patch Of ground which has been lately
added to the cemetery. Neither tree nor flower
is to be seen there, and it seems as though it
were free from weeds even, so bare and desc
late does it look lying there beneath the glar-
ing SUN. But yet it is not unoccupied. Side
by side and as close together as they could well
be placed. and in rows which almost touch
each other, lie the dead who fell in the Con-
federate cause. small but neat slab at the
head of each mans grave tells us his name and
his regiment. No more; only this briefrecord.
It is enough. What matters it where or how
they died What matter is it that they lie in
that cheerless ground. while the noble soldier
who fought to gain the civil freedom which
they battled to preserve, reposes beneath the
sculptured marble, while the cypress and the
myrtle enwreath his tomb? The world does
Justice to their heroism-time will avouch the
Righteousness of their cause-and the genera

IMPRESSIONS OF CHARLESTON MAGNOLIA
CEMErERY.-The editor of the Baltimore
Gazette, writing to his paper from Charleston
under date Of April 4, says:
Persons living only in the hotels here know
little or nothing of the real condition OF things.
Soiourners in such Iuxuripps caraysnsaries
have tor the time being moe or less money,
and they take matters very comfortably,
troubling themselves little about the necessi-
ties or sorrows Of those dwelling round about
them. They see that the public tables are
bountifully spread and the public conveyances
are all that can be desired, and they straight
way conclude that prosperity is the rule and
priyat;on tie exception in the community
Those who care to know the truth know how
widespread is the destitution throughout this
CITY. and how desperate is the struggle which
hundreds who were born to afiuence are
making with adverse fortune. Historical JUS
tice will one day be done a people who have
made sacrifices so heroic ard who bear suffer-
ine so nobly, but reparatlcn or relief compara-
tiyely few of them are ever destined to receive.
In the environs of Charleston the same
dilapidation exists as in tle city ltsel. The
plank roads, the fences and the houses all
show signs of the disastrous .ect OF the war.
One of the main roads running from the city,
and which is in about the same wretched con-
ditior as the rest, leads to Magnolia Cemetery.
The visitor to that city ofthe dead will find,
however, when he enters its gates, that he has
left behind him the painful evidences Of decay
ed prosperity, of which mention has been made.
There the monuments Of the olden time stand,
weather-beaten and starred, but as firm as
when originally erected, and close beside them
the fresh white marble shows that in that sad
dest of spots around this sad city men con-
tinue to repair and to build. There is that to
be seen there too which suggests thoughts not
less melancholy than those excited by the
spectacle of "a people in its woe." Turning
down one of the avenues the stranger will
come upon stately tomb. The helmet and
the broadsword carved in stone tel that some
honored soldier Lies beneath. The jessamine
twines lovingly over aud around it, and from

unless the prosecution protract the time by fre-
quent objection and lengthy cross-examlna-
ton. One Of the managers will then sum up
in the first instance, to be followed by Messrs.
Evarts and Stanbery, and tie final closing
argument will be delivered by another OF the
managers possibly on Monday %eek.
It is very generally conceded that the evi-
dence in the impeachment trial is too weak to
hold water. First we have mass Of testimony
endeavoring to prove conspiracy between the
President and General Ihomas-testimony to
show that certain expressions we're made use
OF by the latter on his own responsibility, for
which the President should be held accounta-
Bile; and this was gravely admitted by the court
as matter worthy OF consideration and as up
holding the case of the prosecution. Two high
judicial authorities did not hesitate to say last
evening that the Chief Justice was entirely
wrong in admitting the evid9nce which was
put on the record in the first part OF last week.
It would be just as reasonable to hold the
President responsible for the threats any Of
the thousand and one postmasters appointed
by him might have made use Of against those
they were directed to supersede, and thus
prove conspiracy on the part OF the Executive,
and make use Of their uncons.dered language
as evidence against him. The documentary
testimony will be met by other documentary
testimony, which the defence feel confident will
pull to pieces the fabric Of the prosecution.
So far there is no case again st the president,
and great many senators fee that such is the
fact; but the pressure On the entire Republican
element of the Senate will become intense as
the trial draws to close, and, regardless Of
oath or evidence, it is feared tine great dis.
grace will be perpetraued of removing the head
OF the nation to accomplish a party purpose.
This week and the week after letters will pour
in upon those senators who are considered dis
posed to waver, and men will come to Wash
ington from all parts of the country to urge
their senators to vote for conviction. Coaxing
and bullying will be tried BIZ turns, and no
stone left unturned to try and insure verdict
Of guilty. 1t is needless to say there are GER
tain Republicans in the Senate to-day whom
it will require extraordinary efforts to over
come and induce to vote against their convic-
lection viii come and feeling Of remorse fol-
low that will embltter their lives to the last
moment they exist.

The Impeachment Trial.
PROBABLE DURATION OF THE TR1AL-THE SPEECH
rs-orrs1pE PRESSURE FROM THE RADICAL
spECU1AToRs AS TO THE RESULT

It is said that the Presidents counsel are of
the opinion that the impeachment trial will be
ended by Saturday, the 18th instant. An effort
will be made to have the Senate rule relating
to the subject of speeches in the court OF I'M
peachment altered so as to permit three
speeches on each side. Thaddeus Stevens
and Gen. Logan both desire to make speeches
in the impeachment trial, but as Messrs. Bout
we'll and Bingham are already designated by
the managers to argue the case, and as the
rule of the Senate does not permit more than
two speeches on each side, Messrs. Stevens and
Logan cannot deliver their proposed speeches
without change OF the rules OF the Senate.
MIR. Stevens has, it is reported, prepared a
written argument, but his feeble health adj
monishes him not to attempt its delivery, and
he cannot have it read by the clerk. The
Washington correspondent Of the Baltimore
Sun writing on Monday last, says:
Judge Curtis, one of the counsel for the
President, will occupy all day Thursday in the
opening speech for the defence. he may be
apt to occupy portion of Friday also, as his
argument will be very elaborate and exhaust
i've. When he concludes, the testimony Tor the
defence will be put forward, General ihomas
leading of as principal witness. Mr: stanton
will not be summoned az witness, though 1t
has been generally stated that he Will. NO
regular arrangement of the witnesses has been
decided upon. Those who are at hand, as
General Sherman and Louis D. Campbell will
very likely be examined on Friday. The rest
of the witnesses, to the number OF about q
dozen, will be disposed Of by Wednesday week,

telligence and education has still another and,
BY general concession, the highest title to the
possession of political power. What shall be
said of that scheme Of government which ig-
nores or sets at defiance these plain principles
of justice, and which, by it's natural and neces-
sary working, places the masses who have ed
ucation and property under the dominion OF
the masses who have neither edqlation nor
property? The best that can be said Of such q
system, is that it has it's very foundations In
injustice, and can only be maintained in per-
manence by force. It is against nature, and
cannot come to good.
forbear to discuss other parts Of the con-
stitution because Of my desire to be brief, and
because this one grand objection ought to be
sufficient with all those who have heretofore
held the suffrage of the State. Even now the
people of the Northern States, one after
another, are rejecting partial colored suffrage
for themselves when it is only a sentiment or
abstraction, while their representatives in Con-
gress are forcing wholesale colored suffrage
when that suffrage carries with it the do
minion in the State, upon their countrymen in
the South. Reaction must come; moral laws
will vindicate themselves, and although re-
pressed for time by force, will work out their
proper results. The white men Of the country
will feel and acknowledge the tie OF blood, and
assert their common, natural and indefeasible
right to be the rulers of the land. 1 see
no occasion for despondency. The pro-
cess may be a painful one, and OF
longer duration than we could desire, but
things will assuredly right themselves. This
constitution, monstrous as it is, may be put
upon US. If go, we must organize under it,
and make an earnest, united and persistent
struggle for the political control OF the State.
I have faith in our people, in their patience
and disposition to do what is right, in their
hopeful and enduring courage, in their instinct
and capacity of rule, and in the history and
destiny of the race to which they belong as
dominant and governing race. Intelligence
and property must and will prevail against
mere numbers. Let them be of good temper
and of good cheer. Let them do what they be-
lieve to be their duty in the future, as they
have done it in the past; and whatever may
be the resnlls they will have the consciousness
and the praise Of having acquitted themselves
like men. am, very respectfully,
- Your obedient servant,

Affairs In Alabama.

MONTGOMERY, April s.-A close estimate
shows that there is no cotton In the State ex-
cept at the warehouses in Montgomery, which
contain about twenty five hundred bales.
There has been another heavy frost, and We
getahon is injured.
An important decision has been rendered by
Judge Arlington in the City Court. In 1867
The State Of Alabama advanced to the Arms
Manufacturing Company s25O,O00 in State
bonds for the purpose Of enabling it to bull
an arsenal and to manufacture arms, but as
the purpose of the State was to arm Confeder-
ate soldiers, the contract was held to be null
and void. The suit was brought in the name
of the Governor.
