Batesville Times of the 29th of Feb:
 MORE RuFFrANIsM.-We are inform ed that it was rumored that the Hon. Vim. Byers would deliver speech at Flat Rock, in this county, week or ten days ago, and that number of radicals went there armed, and pro- claimed that he should not speak if he should come.
 Judge Byers, we are informed, had no such appointment. He does not speak with the view of offending any one. He desires to cultivate peace and good feeling, and to harmonize the dis cordant elements of society, ifpossible. He desires to address the reason and judgment of all men, and have them receive that which is good, and sup port and uphold the right, and to con demn the wrong. He seeks to prevent his fellow citizens, through prejudice or passion, from doing that which will rebound to the injury of the whole country. He does nothing but what he believes to be his duty. He asks nothing but what he is willing to ex- tend to all others. These are times which require every patriot to battle manfully for the right and the truth, and it is consoling to the friends of freedom and our down-trodden consti- tuition to know that there are yet men who have the moral courage to stand forth boldly in their defence.
 We cannot speak too strongly against the carrying of arms to public political meetings, and we hope never to see or hear of friends of freedom and op- pression taking arms to such place. We depend upon the justncss of our cause, upon reason and right. It is only the coward or those who are con scious of being in the wrong, and of the weakness of their cause, who would resort to such means to accomplish their end.

 During the period of the approach ing election, commencing the 18th inst, Post Commanders will distribute their troops by small detachments at such places within their respective jurisdic ton as their services may be most needed for the purpose of assisting the Commissioners of election and deputy sheriffs in preserving order, also for the purpose of protecting every voter in the exercise of his right to go to and return from the polls without restraint or molestation. Parties guilty of unlawful interference with the rights of voters at the polls or elsewhere will be promptly arrested and reported. Post Commanders will notify the Bords of Registrars of their several counties at once for their information, what disposition of troops thcyproposc to make, and immediately after the election will forward full report of action taken under this oisler to these Headquarters. The mounted troops will be sent to remote stations, while dismounted detachments will be sent to places of less distance. A commiss- toned officer will accompany each detachment when practicable.

Case Of Suspended Animation
 Doctors Disagree.


 From the Boston Courier 7th
 A singular case of supposed suspen- ded animation is the topic of conversa- ton at East Boston. Mir. Horce Rich ardson, a well: known awl manufacturer of this locality, was taken sick with pleuro-pneumonia while in Brooklyn, N. Y., and as supposed at the time, died. His body was brought to the city on Tuesday last, and upon opening the coffin certain signs of life were manifest. It was found that the arms still retained some warmth, and upon further examination by physicians who were called, other symptoms, indica- ting that life had not wholly departed, were disclosed.
 The face yielding to pressure of the hand would become white, and upon the pressure being removed would resume it's natural color, Tapping of the veins of the neck was followed by a flow of blood. Under these circum- stances the galvanic battery and other resuscitating agents were applied, but without successful results. A consulta- tion of physicians was held, ono or more being called from the city proper, and they have been as yet unable to agree whether it is a case of actual mortality or not--standing, relatively. four in the affirmative and two in the negative, Further disclosures will be awaited with interest by the public, no less than the medical fraternity. Crowds of curious inquirers have flock ed to the house where the body lies, and it has been found necessary to post a notice, positively no admittance," upon the door. s

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.
What They Say.

In Speaking on the side of the Pres ident or of Congress, nearly every one makes free use of ifs and "buts," and both parties immediately concerned in the impending great trial are viewed with a criticism that is, in remarka- ble degree, cold and exacting, intensi- fled now by the fact that political par ties are adjusting their machinery for the next national election. It is au- thcntically stated that the President is entirely confident of full acquittal on the charges to- be made in the bill of indictment.

THE VOTES IN PROOF.
Des Arc weekly citizen., 1868-03-07
A Piece of Evidence,

The speech of Judge Lawrence, of Ohio, on impeachment, furnished one matter of evidence of some interest and importance, showing that according to the testimony of the Postmaster Gen eral before the Judiciary Committee, the President had acknowledged the binding character of the Tenure of Of flee law upon him, by causing old blanks for commissions to officers ap- pointed in the civil service, which con tained the phrase, "You are hereby commissioned, etc., to hold office dur ing the pleasure of the President" to phrase "to hold your office until re- moved by and with the advice of the Senaten

to whether the President had issued any orders to the army except through Gen. Grants headquarters. He re- piled that he knew of none beyond some inquiries sent to Gen. Howard relative to the number of men employ ed in the Freedmen's Bureau.
 Chances of Acquittal.
 The Washington correspondent of the Republican Cincinnati Commercial has the following: "The Senate con- sists at present of fifty three members representing twenty-seven States There is vacancy in the representa- ton of Maryland, occasioned by the refusal to admit MT. Thomas. Mary land will undoubtedly elect another Senator in time to sit in the high court of impeachment--but mark the predic- tion, the Senate will not receive him immediately, but will "refer" the sub- ject to the Judiciary Committee for in- vestigation. A majority may do that, and doubtless will do it, and thus re- duce by one the strength of the minor ity ia the high court of impeachment. Ii will require thereby thirty-six votes to convict or eighteen to acquit the President, should the court consist of tifty-three. Making the most liberal allowance for the Republicans, they will have forty-two votes. The Dem- ocrats and Conservatives are: Bayard, Buckalew, Davis, Doolittle, Dixon, Hendricks, Johnson, Norton, Patter- son, of Tennessee, Salisbury and Me Creery, Senator elect from Kentucky, who will take his seat ill a few days Il. A majority of six over the requir- ed two thirds in favor of conviction should the trial assume strict party aspect, as the impeachment did in the House. Should seven out of the forty two vote with the minority, the Presi- dent will be acquitted. If were to be called upon to name seven who will be apt to do this, l should say Fessen- den, who hates Wade and won't vote him in the White House if he can help it; Anthony, who is naturally conserv- ative and frequently shows courage enough to vote independent of his par ty; Grimes, who doesn't admire Wade, and has been opposed to impeachment all along. There's three. As tor the four more, l shall not mention names nor improper motiyes-but vacant and the like have much to do with the votes of Senators whose official career is about to draw to q close-and there are fifteen of them in that interesting situation. Thomas II. Benton is my authority. Senators were not above such bargainings in his day, according to the Thirty Years, md are they better now than then?- Besides, didn't New Hampshire Sen .tor in the last Congress change front within twenty-four hours on the ques- ion of admitting the Presidents son. n-law to his seat, and didn't the Pres dent appoint him United States Judge lext day? Wait and see and stick a ,in here. If the President be not ac- luitted, then there is no purchase in

The Bearingsof Impeachment.

The first scenes of the new drama were solemn, and could hardly fail to inspire profound anxiety as to the f. nal result, not so much as to how it may affect the President personally, the ambitious hopes of Congressmen, or the machinations of political adven- turers, but as to how it may involve the destiny of our Republic. In view ing all that was there presented, it was not difficult to trace painful analogies between our own national characteris- tics, as presented at least on the sur face, and those that have been exhibit ed under proceeding systems of Re publican government when they were on the decline or on the verge of des- truetion.

A QUESTION.

The question has arisen here Vhether, as the Constitution directs that the Chief Justice shall preside, in case of his sickness or death the trial would not be suspended. The best lawyers give their opinion unhesitatingly, that trial once inaugurated would move on to the end, whether the Chief Justice could attend or not.

It was therefore matter of little consequence who signed the acquisitions, except in technical point of view, and under the necessi- ties of the public service Secretary Me Culloch consented to recognize the re- quisitions.
