Impea chment BULLYING.

The following telegraphic dispatcheI
were sent to the conscientious Senator
from Kansas, Mr. Ross, who refused tt
commit perjury by finding the President
guilty in obedience to outside clamor and
dictation:
LEAvENwoRTH. May 1G, 1868.
Hon. 4 G. Ross, U. S. Senator, Wash.
ington, D. c.:
Your telegram received. Your vote
is dictated BY Tom Ewing, not by your
oath. Your motives are Indian contracts
and greeabacks Kansas repudiates you
as she does all perjurers and skunks.
ID. Il. ANTHONY, and Others"
TOPEKA, May 1G, 1868.
To e. G. Ross:
Probably the rope with which Judas
hung himself is lost, but the pistol with
which Jim Lane committed suicide is at
your service.

The wind about mid .day, shifted to

with freshness for a short time, there
was IL complete IuII ; and after this ces-

the North West, travelling round to the
West and Snuthward until 1T reached

were large black clouds, looking auspici-
.ousIy for rain, bat which after IA few light
showers, were dispersed by the success
sion of many vivid flshes of lightning.
In the mean time the wind was guSty

road by two mile hill, smaller branches

adjacent, were thickly Strewn ;
affording direct proofs of what we may
call the "twirI'' of The squalls which is
characteristic of such blasts during what is
understood by the hurricane season. Again
the violence of the squat reached the
shipping, and the schooner Abatr0SS, of
Halifax, was driven ashore, but with the
assistance of The crew of I'll. NJ. S Niger,
was got off next morning with little or
no damage. Five fishing boats are mis-

blooming fields"
The news from the South continued
unsettled and unsatisfactory. The pro-
longatiol of the war, the Electoral crisis
in Beunos Ayres, and the monetary panic
at Montevideo, all tended to demorallZe
trade and 10 weaken all transactions in
Exchange.
The National Congress was opened in
Bucnos AyreS on The l7lh May. So FIR
nothing had been done with the long ru-
incurred impeachment of the President of
the Confederation. Urquiza announced
his willingness to accept the Presidency
if the secondary elections were favour
able to him.
The latest news from Buenos Ayres
gives much probability of Urqniza'S cleo
ton, with AIsina as ice-Presidtnt. A
revolution had broken out at CorrienteS.
The iron lightShip destined to be placed
on the wharf at the entrance OF the chan
mel to Para, was ready and would shortly
sail for that port.
The number of troops sent 10 the war
up to the 30th April last, was 66,706
The deaths arising from sickness and
NouLu>, lICluuluS tuOSC NlllCu III 'dCtlC
were 6.175.
A smart affair had been reported from
the seat of war at Chaco, in which the
Paraguayans were driven ont with a loss
of 1O5 killed. The loss Of the Bra ziliats,
who alone were engaged, was 9 killed
ard 81 wounded.
The import trade was dull, and sales
were very limited. In the export market
the very high prices of produce prevented
prudent operators from purchasing either
coffee or cotton.
On the 29th June four distinct shocks
Of Earthquake were felt at Sydney, and
along the whole eastern coast.
The political crisis continued at Vic
toria and was daily increasing in import
ance. It was expected to produce much
distress in as much as the Assembly had
directed the stoppage of the supplies
It was declared a great usurpation of
power that a ministry, though backed
by the Governor, should retain office in
the face Of an opposition so strong in
numbers and so determined to carry out

distressing TO CoNsERvATIvEs.-We
call the attention of those who purpose
visiting New York on the fourth of July,
next, to the fact that the Memphis and
Louisville railroad line will furnish
tickets to delegates and other citizens
wishing to attend the National Demo
cratic Convention with tickets at half
fare, or full fare to 90 on, and return free,
the same to be good till the 10th. Tick
cts can be procured No. 1911 Main
street, or at the depot Office. The fare
to New York is s3s rs, and the tickets
for the excursion, there and back, will
be that amount. This will make the ex-
pense Of the trip comparatively light,
aud enable many more persons from
this section to be present on the grand
and intensely interesting occasion than
would be inclined to 90 il the full rates
were maintained.

The NEw LINE OF BUssKs,-The need
long felt in Memphis Of facilities for

has at length been supplied by an addi-
tioual line of commodious and elegantly
appointed buses. For these the public
are indebted to those snterprising aud
we'll known gentlemen, Messrs. Patter-
son 4 Keck, aud the very least that can
be done in return by the public is TO see
to i, that the new line is fostered and
supported by a liberal patronage.
Messrs Patterson & Keck are old
citizens, thoroughly identified with
the interests Of Memphis, and their en-
,erprise, which Is strictly home insti-
tuition, will scarcely be neglected, in
order that enterprises which are owned
abroad, and whose earnings 90 abroad,
may be supported. We wish the new
line al the success that its worthy
managers deserve. and assure our friends
that they viii 6Dd no more acconnO-
dating and courteous gentlemen ct the

Col. SAN. TArE's SuocEssoR.-At
meeting ofthe Directory of the Memphis
and Charleston railroad, yesterday, the
com mittee to whom was referred the let
ter from Col. Sam. Tate, resigning the
Presidency Of the road, reported BY reso'
luton as follows; - sB
Resolped, That the resignation of Col.
Tate be accepted, and that the proffered
services to assist his successor be Sc
cured, and that he be respectfully re-.
ouested to aid in making the annual
report for the next meeting Of the stock
holders. They also beg leave TO present
the following response, with the accom-
panying resolution, to be made to the
resignation: n
This Direction have just heard read
the communication Of President. Tate,
rendering his resignation as President OF
this company. The kind sentiments ex
pressed in his taking leave ofa company
over which he has presided so success
fully for the past fourteen years, are
heartily reciprocated by this Board; and
the Board cannot permit this separation
to take place without expressing regret
at the necessity which impelled our
President to terminate his connection
with this company, and saying that his
ability and energy will insure success IN
whatever enterprise over which he may
be called upon to preside, and the Direc'
ton now express the earnest desire that
he may long live in health to contribute
to the prosperity of his country.
Resolped, That as token of appreci-
alton of the services of Col. Sam. Tate,
as President of this company, service
of silver with suitable and appropriate
inscriptions engraved be prepared aud
presented to him by this company.
The above was unanimously adopted,
and the Board thereupon proceeded to
the election of Colonel Tate's successor.
The names of Maj. NJ. j. Wicks and Col
George P. Burns were placed in nomina'
ton. Of the thirteen votes cast, the
former received eight, and the lat
ter FIVE, whereupon Major Wicks
was declared elected. The meet
ing then adjourned. Inc newly eiec'eu
President of the road, Major w., has for
q number of years been an active mem
Der of the Directory, and is thoroughly
cohversant with the business OF the com
pany. OF high order of intellect,
strict integrity, and enjoying the unlim'
tied confidence of the business commu-
nifty, there are few, if any, who are better
qualified to gil the Office, the affairs OF
which have been so long and so ably ad
ministered by Colonel Tate. 1t was in
fact, as we~have been informed, the ex-
pressed desire of Colonel I. that the Dir
rectory should select Major Wicks as his
successor, than which no better assurance
of the latter's qualifications could be
| had.

The TEMPERANCE LECT vRE.-The lee
ture of W. W. Carswell at the Taber-
uacle, last night, was treat. His act
ing was capital, his illustrations rich,
apropo, pungent and too plain TO be mis-
unprecedented by the dullest understand
ing. The lecturer is man of too good
judgment to drawl, argufy or blatter over
subject too well understood to bear ar
gumentation. So, like man of sense,
he plunges at once in medias res, holds
the mirror admirably up to nature, and
most inofensively, aptly and humor-
ously makes the fur fly. We had as soon
hear him as to read Roderic Random or
to see Dan. Rice in the circus, or Burton,
or Jefferson on the stage. He shook the
blues out Of every one in the house last
night. And if any one wants to drive
dull care away, we would advise them to
20 and hear him tonight. He lectures
again at the same place.
