CHI lNoEs OF CONVICTION.

Washington dispatches to Northern and
Western papers give Us some fresh ideas
about the probable vote on the conviction
Of the President. The Louisville Courier
correspondent on the ninth telegraphed:
Senator Howard, Of Michigan. said to-
day but one Radical (Fowlerl would oppose
it, and although Grimes would fret and
scold he would sustainthe measure
The Providence JoHaal correspondent OF
the seventh says:
There are strong hopes that Mr.. Eessenden
will vote for conviction on two or three Of
the articles. Senator Grimes expressed the
opinion that the President will Ue con-
victed, and Mr.. Henderson, of Missouri, re-
marked in his opinion the President had
not the ghost of j. chante. Neither Senator
said anything about hisown vote. 1t is not
generally expected thatthe President will
be disqualified forever nom holding office,
number of RepublicanSenatOr feel that
this would be going further than is neces-
sary.
The correspondent Of the Chicago Re
publican states the substance of what Gen
eral Grant said in his presence, and says :
During the entire conversation the Gen
eral expressed himself very strongly in
support of Mr.. Johnsonis removal, it being
his only hope Of having peace in the South
ern States, and he thought it would be dan
gerous to the best interests OF the country
10 lei MIN remain any iolger at the head OF
the Government. With Mr.. Johlson's re-
moval, he would, without detriment 10 the
public service, make afprther reduction il
the army, and the troops that were now
stationed in many Of the Southern States
could be withdrawn and sent to the plains
or mustered out Of the ervice. Having a
man in the Presidential chair that wOdld
take care that the laws are faithfully exc
cuted, the rebels in theSouth would cease
committing murders aad driving Union
| men from their homes, AID loyal mel would
| be again secure.

- The election for County
officers in Shelby county, has been
declared null and void, on the
ground that the acting Commits
sioner of registration had no COM
petent authority to hold the cleo
ton. The law requires that the
Commissioner shall, before enter
ing on the duties of his office, be
commissioned by the Governor; and
the facts and proof showed that
the Commissioners commission
does not bear Brownlow's genuine
signature, but was signed for him
by some one else. The legal pro-
position is that the Governor, who
receives the powers with which
he. is invested by virtue OF his
Office, cannot delegate to any 9TH
or person the legal right to dis
charge the duties which the law
specifically devolves on him.

The regular Cincinnati and
Maysville packet, which left Gin
cinnati at noon on the 18th, with
over one hundred passengers and
a large amount of freight, exploded
her boiler about twelve miles a.
bove that city, at half past one.
The greater portion of her cabin
was carried away, and the boat
afterwards took fire and burned.
About forty persons were killed,
several being burned to death
The Magnolia had one hundred
and twenty passengersand a crew
of forty. Fifty-seven of the pas.
sengers are known to be saved
After the boat had taken fire and
the upper works were destroyed,
some powder in the magazine ex-
p!oded, destroying everything but
the hull, which sunk. Many Of
the passengers jumped overheard,
while others were burned to death.
The Captain was lost. The boat
was valued at $4,000, and insur-
ed for $4,000. No Southerner's
name appears among the lost or
saved.

~ Bloodshed was avoided
at Gallatin, last Saturday, at the

Philips organized a company OF
fifty negroes, fully armed, with
instructions to shoot down like
dogs any of the "white trash who

of course, necessitated the arm

The Boston Post states that the
Democrats in New Hampshire at
the late election reduced the Rad

votes, gained for their own ticket
over four thousand, and made a

is doing well, and the same ratio
of reduction and increase will

SoLD.-The people of Pierceton,
Indiana, weresregularly sold the
other day. A travelling DENTS,
went around and proposed to in.
sert fine sets of false teeth at a
very low rate and wait six months
for his pay. He only demanded
that the parties should pay him
down for pulling the old stumps.
All the old women with poor teeth,
and all the young ones with yellow
ones, came to the doctor, had the
unsightly grinders removed and
paid for the job. The next
day the doctor was missing, and
has not been heard of since
There is weeping and wailing in
Plerceton, but owing to the pecu-
liar circumstances of the case, the
crashing of teeth is unavoidably
postponed.
