st has become a legal question wheth-
crthe Presidents resignation would stop
the impeachment trial. While some a BILE
minds are Of the opinion that it would,
others agree that such an act would not
hinder the Court from proceeding in the
trial and pronprncing Judgment. Such
q Judgment would, we think, amount to
nasmore than that of an ordinary Dis
trict Court after the accused had fled.
But the impeachment court was organ
lied to convict and sentence may as wen
be proncunced before the tedious for
mality of a trial as afterward. 8a
Day by day the President shows lack
of moral courage and his unftness for
office by unwarranted concessions to
his prosecutors. Deposition is no more
than he deserves; yet we doubt the just
ness Of its being done by such an lille
gally constituted court. His chief crime
consists not in violating the constitution
and laws of the country; but allowing
others to do so. Should he resign in
this, the greatest hour of our country
peril, he would only more conclusively
he is wholly unequal to any pressing
emergency, and also Ice acting in consis-
tency with the time when he deserted

70 the Senate are decided adversely to

the effect Of such resignation has engaged
the general attention OF lawyers. Opin-
ion appears to be very much divided
upon the matter. Some lawyers Of high
standing, and among them some who
are known to sympathize with Mr..
johnson, hold that such action on the
part OF the President would not of
necessity prevent the Senate from pro-
ceeding with the trial and pronouncing
its Judgment. On the other hand, law
yers of both political parties maintain
that such step would be complete

CASTOR OIL.-The cultivation of the
castor bean for the manufacture of oil
seems to have received new impulse
at. the west, particularly in Illinois,
One firm in ST. Louis worked up $500
bushels of beans in four months produc-
II, $50 gallons of oil; and we are told
that 500 barrels have been sold. at $50
per barrel. Here is q domestic manu-
facture with a vengeance. But this is
the work of onfy one establishment in
four months. Health would seem to Be
worth some care to preserve, it it were
only to avoid the pain Of swallowing
those 500 barrels'of oil.-But the great
er part of these hundreds Of barrels arc

comes the castor oil. The most effectua1
preventive of sickness among children,
we apprehend, would be to compel those

SPEAKING OUT-In the long run tt ~

suppreSSeS so much that in tho end her

as partisan. While the process Of
decline is going on, the clear ring, the
sharp edge, which we find in the id cas-
that come straight from the heart and
the brain. This is why parti san
speeches sound so hollow. That is y ThJ
the writings of able men in the lead dng
columns even of the chief journals SO
often lack edge and seems the work of
an intellectual machine, rather than Of
a living intellect. 1t is for tho sa me-
reason that most men are so much SIN; al
er than nature meant them to be. n a
ture meant them to be big and We d
formed; but they are stunted and dis
proportioned, because some of the tr
faculties have never been exercised a It
all. They will not speak out; they wi II
not say what they think; SO, they becom g
like unto the thing they worship-tf 70

Mr. Mill believes this lack of indiv i'd

The impression seems to have gained
currency among the people that the
Bankrupt Law expired on the ed March,
1868. .t#~
This, we have good authority for
saying, is erroneous. Tue act of Con
gress on the subject of Bankruptcy
went into operation on the first of June,
1867, and by it. parties are allowed TO
take the benefit of the Act up to the
fist Of June, 1868. After that date no
party can take the benefit Of the act
who is unable to pay fifty per cent. Of his
Indebtedness, unless a maj Ority of his
creditors consent. The law does not eX-
pire, but is perpetual, until repealed;
the only difference being that after the
first of June, 1868, a party cannot take
the benefit of the act without paying
fifty per cent. on his Indebtedness, nor
take it a second time without paying
seventy-tive per cent. of his debts La.
