The Constitution requires, in order to
convict, two-thirds of the Senators
present; not two-thirds of the Senators
voting. Thus, if Mr.. Wade be present
when the vote is taken, and do not give
any judgment, he will be considered to
have voted in the negative. In this
case, only six Republican votes, added
to the eleven Democrats, would be nee
essary to acquit the President. But
there is very little chance that Wade
will abstain from voting, unless he
knows his vote to be superfluous. If
the President can be convicted without
him, or acquitted in spite of him, he may
cency; but if he can reach the Presiden-
tial chair by simply voting himself into
it, he will perform this interesting cere-
mony with as little conjunction as he
exhibits in eating his dinner or damning
the chief justice.-[N. o. Crescent.

excitement in that parish over the muir
der of Mr.. Meadows, and other threaten
ed outrages; and urges that the Hon. w.

home as his life is openly threatened.
Unfortunately Mr.. Blackburn left for Ho-

who informed him that it would not be
safe for him to go home. and he therefore
stopped at Monroe.-[N. o. Republican,

Red River has risen 10 inches during
the past week, and is now within 80 feet
of the highest water mark of last April.
Upper Red River is certainly falling as
far down as Long Prairie, but we may
look for rise OF at least inches at
this place before the river begins to fall.
All the low plantations are more or less
submerged, but the highest places are
uninjured. The prospect for crop on
the hills and on the best river places is

MUMFORD.-In her "Recollections of
Henry w. Allen" Mrs. Dorsay says: 1t
was well known among us that VIM. b.
mumford was not guilty of this crime (?)
of taking down the United States flag,
which was done before the city surren-
dered, and not done by him. General
Buffers Court of Military Commission
found him guilty. 1t must have been a
circumstantial, if any evidence, because
the flag was removed by Adolphe Har-
per, young lad of sixteen, who was
hurried out of the city, by his alarmed
friends Immediately after the commits
sion of the daring act, before Harper
was aware of Mumford's capture. Har-
per was sent up the river near Natchez.
Learning afterwards of Mumford's sum-
mary execution, young Harper, in agony
of distress, tried to get back to New
Orleans, in order to surrender himself
to the United States authorities, in a
vain thought of expiration to the mar
tyred Mumford. But his friends about
Natchez prevented this mad boyish act
prompted by the lads sense of honor
and at last succeeded in convincing
him that it would be q useless sacrifice
of another life, which could be made
valuable to the South. Harper then
Joined Bradford's scouts, and was killed
in a skirmish about ten miles from
Natchez. He is buried in Fayette.
Harper's friends say he was always Gun
der cloud after MumfoTd's death. He
was very handsome, and very brave,
reckless soldier.
Mrs. ID. adds that she hesitated as to
the expediency of writing this fact of
history, but cast expediency aside in
the presence of TRUTH GALVESTON Nescs,

We notice that many of our cotempo-
raries of the press throughout this and
other States of the South, have hoisted
at their mast-heads their choice for
President of the United States. On
being asked why we do not follow suit
we beg leave to SIMPLY state that as we
are not yet in the Union and have no
voice in the matter, we prefer waiting
until our citizenship is restored. Then
we may probably take hand.

ORIGIN OF THE WORD "DUN."-The
word Dun first came into use, it is said,
during the reign of Henry the Seventh
of England. 1t owes its birth to an
English bailiff by the name of Joe Dun,
who was so indefatigable and skillful at
his business of. collecting debts that it
became a proverb when a person did
not pay his debts, "Why don't you dun
him2'' that is, tWhy don't you send
Dun after hint" Hence originated the
word which has long been in universal
use.

A BIT OF HIsToRY.-The Glasgow
(Afo.) Times gives a 'bit of political
history" to show how Lincoln was NOM
mated in 1860, and how Greeley kept
Seward out of the Presidential chair.
The story is related on the authority of
former resident of Wisconsin, who
states that Greeley being actively OPP
posed to Seward, published in his New
York Tribune the minutes of a conven-
ton purporting to have been held in
Texas, appointing three men to the Ma
tioual Republican Convention in Chica-
go. III. G.. had seen their names in a
report of Republican meeting in Wis
consin, and ''tO those men he wrote, in
closing certificate accrediting them as
delegates, and also a check for $780,
The consequence was, according to the
Times, that, when on the final ballot the
vote was close between Seward and
Lincoln, the Texas delegation, composed
of obscure Wisconsin saw-millers, voted
in body for old Abe, and he was
nominated.

THE ENGLISH MINISTRY.-Them minis
terial crisis in England seems to be at
an end for the present. After the last
decisive vote on the Irish Church ques-
ton, Mr.. Disraeli asked time to consider
his course. He saw the queen and ten
dered his resignation, which was refused.
Armed with this expression of royal
confidence, he was prepared to defy the
opposition of the public. If he could
not triumph over his antagonists, he
was at least in situation to treat with
them on a basis approaching equality.
At first Mr.. Disraeli's colleagues init
mated an intention of withdrawing from
the cabinet, but this difficulty was obvi-
ated, and they were induced to remain.
Mr.. DiSraeli declares that he will hold
Office until general election takes place,
and it is understood that general cleo
ton shall be held as soon as the Eng
lish reform bill is extended over the
three kingdoms, and as Irish and Scotch
bills have been introduced, and will,
doubtless, pass without material opposi-
ton, this arrangement will obviate the
necessity for an immediate dissolution
of parliament. Mr.. Gladstone may rest
content with the conviction that new
election will bring him into power as
the successor of Disraei and abstain
from pressing vote of want of conf
dence in the ministry; and the Irish
Church question may be settled without
being regarded as essential either on one
side or the other Crescent.
