EASTERN DISPATCHES.

| From last evenings Virginia Trespass
| WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Chief justice
announced that the first business In order
was the order offered by Mr.. Conness, yester'
day, providing that the Court should meet at
| 10 o'clock A. NJ, daily. Adopted.
The Senate ordered the omission from the
official report of the tabular statements pub
lished in the Globe as part Of Buffers speech
yesterday, the same not having been read IS
evidence.
Several newspaper editors and reporters
were examined relative to the Presidents
speeches at Cleveland and St. Louis.
Barton Able and George Knapp. editors
of the Missouri Republican, testified in re-
la,ion to the Presidents speech at St. Louis,
which he made reluctantly, upon their urg-
ing him to do so.
Secretary Welles was sworn. and testified
that he called upon the President to inform
him of certain movements of troops on the
2lst of February. The President said that
he did not know what General Emory did,
but would send for him and inquire. The
witness said that on the same day he had an
interview with the President relative to the
removal Of Stanton.
Butler objected to the question as to what
was said at that interview.
Evarts said he expected TO prove that the
President informed his Cabinet that he had
removed Stanton, and that General Thomas
had possession of the War Office, stanton
only remaing sufficient length of time to
remove his papers, etc.
Weiles then testified in accordance with
the statement of Evars just given. The
witness saw the nomination of Ewing as
Secre tary of War in the Presidents hand.
Eyarts offered to prove that the President
had laid before the Cabinet the Tenure OF
Office bill, and that they advised its return
Seward and Stanton undertook to prepare
the veto.
Butler argued against the admission OF
such evidence, on the ground that the lresl-
dent could not shelter himself behind the
opinion of hit advisers.
Evarts, in reply, went into the question OF
the Presidents responsibility with great
minuteness.
The Court adjourned.
In the House, no quorum was present.
CHICAGO, April lit has been decided
to hold a grand combined reunion OF the
Society of the Army of the Tennessee, the
Army of the Cumberland, the Army OF
Georgia, and the Army of the Ohio, IN TINS
CITY. on December 18th and 10th next.
WASHINGTON, April lit Is understood
that at Cabinet meeting to-day important
matters connected with impeachment were
discussed.
The counsel for the President were at the
White House all the morning.
RIcHMoND. April l.-GeneEai >choteId
visited the Convention to-day and made
snpech to the members. He SAID the lron-
Clad oath in the Constitution adopted by the
Convention was extremely objectionable.
He said he had administered the Recon
struction laws in Virginia for over year.
and gave it as the result Of his experience
that It would be impossible to carry on a
State government on such basis. In his
oninion the oath would be fatal to the Con-
sti.ution.

Political DIscUssIoN.-Th business of a
political writer is unquestionably 10 defend
his party, and like lawyer he is bound to
present his case as skilfully and powerfully as
he can. The other side will be presented by
his opponents, and the public will judge be-
tween them. No honorable lawyer will de-
fend an unjust cause, and no honorable jour-
nalist will lend himself to measures he does
not approve, If the court esy of the bar could
be introduced into the discussions of the press,
it would be great improvement. OF course
there are errors and omissions of fact and ar
gument to be corrected, but the language of a
blackguard adds nothing to the force of cor:
fectf0n. IF 1ournafists had a proper respect
for themselves and their profession the ale
would less frequently do duty as an Argument
We do not often have occasion to complain of
the Argus on this score, but in its yesterdays
issue we find statement of fact, published in
the Press with the authority therefor, not
merely denied or doubted, which would have
been allowable though some ground of denial
or doubt should have beep assigned, but de-
scribed as "a lie, That is language which
the Argus has no right to use. AT that point
discussion ceases.

HAD THE SYMPTOMS BUT NOT THE DIS
EASE. The Evansville Gazette tells the fol-
lowing good one of the suffering, and exceed
ingly witty, Lutte Taylor, of the Prescott, Wis,
journal. Last winter Lutte was travelling in
the stage with party of gentlemen, among
whom was noted Democrat from Minnesota,
now candidate for State Office. The day
was intensely cold and the company were
obliged occasionally to warm up. Hating by
little inn at the roadside, the Democrat in
vited Lutte to take drink of whiskey, to
which he readily assented, and as Lutte was
both thirsty and cold, he turned out stiff
horn, swallowed it instanter, and repaired at
once to the stove to thaw out. Lute's free and
easy style suited the Democrat to a dot, and
after freely imbibing himself, he walked up to
Lutte and said: "Tll bet any man ten dollars
that you are good Democrat" As Lutte is an
awful Radical, this touched his pride, and he
replied in his usual stammering style: "I-I
advise y-you n-not to bet any more m-money
tha-than you wish to lose. Ih-haye the symp-
toms, but not the disease"

with the school of political thinkers which the

however, of the true province and function of

meddling, is good and sound, and deserves to
be read and pondered in this country quite as
much as in England. "Two Temporal Powers"

The RockIaud Election,

A' RocKLAND, March g. 1868.
To the Editor Of the Press. il9 ri ilo
2 The contest yesterday was a warm one, with
the odds against the Republican side, but VIC
tory perches upon the Republican banner.
y Joseph Farwell was, perhaps, as unfavor-
able a candidate as the Republicans could
have chosen from among our worthy citizens,
for the Office of Mayor. He has become I'M
popular in precisely the way that every upright
public servant becomes appropriately fideli-
ty to his duties and the public interests. He
has faithfully executed the laws. He has
funded nearly all the floating debt of the city,
and in every way served the good of the city,
receiving not a 1.-THE of the compensation due
his labors. Such course is enough to make
Copperheads and rickety Republicans hostile
All other Republicans, 1 believe, voted for
Farwel; at least We can rely on those that
voted for him, when We enter upon the fall
campaign.
The Republicans had their caucus Wednds-
day evening and with emphasis nominated
Mr. Farwell for reelection. He positively de-
clined, and the evening was spent in trying to
induce some one else to run for the office. For
various reasons, no one would stand, and Mr..
Il dh"Ch was AiA<eiy dCScp1 the
nomination. s IGaH la ia7g cj
The Copperheads met on Friday evening to
nominate candidates. They nominated for
Mayor Mr.. John I. Berry, then absent from
town, and apponteda committee of fifteen to
call upon him the next day and beg his accept
ance of the-office.
Mr.. Berry was a brother of the late General
Berry of Rockland. When the Generals re-
mains were brought home from the battlefield,
committee of citizens was appointed to re-
ceive them at Portland Some of those who
proffered Mr.. Berry the nomination of the
Comprehend party to the mayorship, were on
that committee of citizens, but refused to as
sist in paying the honors proposed, because
General Berry had fallen in war against
slavery When the remains were borne
through the streets of Rockland, those men
pointed at the hearse and said that it contained
& a dead niger" AS they love much who are
forgiven much, Mr.. John T. Berry's constitu-
ents must be truly devoted to him, heart and
soul They did vote for him, and no Democrat
in town could have got as many votes as he
received yesterday. g5lrHy 3 .gar .s}

The election at Newcastle Monday shows a
Republican gain. The Democratic majority
OF 80 last spring is reduced to 10 this The
municipal election at Newcastle is exception
al. The charter granted by the English gov
eminent in 1643 required the election of mu-
nicipal officers to be held on the first Monday
in March, and alone of all the towns in the
State, Newcastle, following her ancient GUS
tom, holds her election on that day. There is
better reason than precedent though. The
Inhabitants of the island are many of them
fishermen, and if the election were held at a
much later date would be practically disfran.
chised. .s}tTC
Never before has there been such an excite
ment in regard to the State election. Gov.
ernor Harriman's friends are confident that
he viii be elected. All the soldiers who served
under him will march in solid column to the
polls and cast their votes for him. He is ex-
eeedingly popular with the soldiers. Money
is expended without stint on both sides. The
Navy Yard which has sometimes exerted a
powerful influence in holly contested elec-
tons, will not or cannot enter into the contest
with the same freedom as heretofore.
