The New York Tribune's special of Thurs
day gives the following amusing account Of
the examination OF a wi tness in the Senate on
the preceding day:
Next came one Karsner, from Delaware
whose testimony was very important and at
the same time very ludicrous. He met Gen
Thomas at the Presidents levee on Monday
evening, Feb. "a, and congratulated him OH
the position 10 which be had been assigned
telling him to do his duty and that the eyes
of Delaware were upon him. "The eyes OF
Delaware" falling SO quantity as the phrase did
upon the ears of the Senate and galleries drew
out laugh in which the Chief j ustice hearth
ly Joined. To Karsner's congratulation, Gen.
Thomas replied that the people of his native
State would not be disappointed in him, for he
would certainly do his duty and kick
that fellow out, PROFESSIONALLY meaning Sec
rotary Stanton, but mentioning no Names
Mr. Stabbery now took charge of Karsner, ev-
identity with the purpose of confusing him and
: making him contradict himself. He COM
menced by putting so many irrelevant ques-
tions that the Chief Justice felt constrained to
interfere with an objection and stop the farce.
Mr.. Stanbery then asked the witness whether
he detailed the conversation TO any one ON he
night of its occurrence. eyes," the witness
said. he had. What was his name inquired
Mr.. Stanbery. Karsner hesitated as though
trying to think of some name of not less than
ten syiables Of unpronouncable Dutch, and
with the air of one who had just caught it, at
ter desperate effort, said it was Smith. A
peal of laughter followed. The Chief Justice
caught the contagion as badly as any Que in
the galleries or on the floor and laughed so
heartily himself that he was ashamed to call
others to order. The scene was re-enacted
two minutes later when Mr.. Stanbery asked
what was Smiths first pane, and the witness
replied lit isn't john" "It isn't John, but
William" said he. Mr.. Stanbery soon dis
missed this witness; but Gen. Butler babe
Karnser remain in the city as he thought it
mi sht be necessary to call on him ag lin.
Aarsners testimony seemed to annoy the
Pres dens's counsel, and they will endeavor 10
impeach his character in order TO destroy tlie
effect OF his testimony. Karnser, however,
is said to be man of integrity. He lives in
Delaware, where he owns large farm. When
the war broke out he took decided ground in
favor of the Union, and for this he was driven
from his home for some months His bust
ness in Washington, at the time of his CONVEX
sation with Gen. Thomas, was in connection
with the establishment of postal route in the
County Of the State in which he resides.

is questionably legal voter in Connecticut
and not able to lose the cost of returning
thither to vote can have his fare both ways
paid by calling on Charles S. Spencer, Presi-
pent of the Central Campaign Club in this
city.
Ii is anticipated that the evidence against
President johnson will all be presented to-
day.
Ine Tribune has the following double-leaded
editorial: 1--WE have assurances from Wash
inoton that Genera Grant finds it not incon-
sistent with his duties as a soldier to announce
it as his opinion that the only hone for
peace is in the pending impeachment trial. He
feels that the national security demands the
removal of the President. If the trial should
fail the people can only expect more assump-
TONS of power and more determined resistance

A DISTRESSING CoMPLAINT.-I have been
afflicted with Catarrh for many years. The
discharge from my nose and head was terrible.
My sense of smelling had left me- and in fact
my whole system had become so much. impair
ed that had about given up all hope of re-
covery. 1 tried all manner of remedies and
nothing helped me in the slightest degree. 1
also consulted with skillful physicians, and
they pronounced my case incurable. Hearing
of DIR KENNEDY's "PERMANENT CURE FOR
CATARRH," I procured package, and IN sir
aceeEs 1t entirely cured me Of this horrible dis
ease. HI. RUBLEE, Auburn, N. Y.

The sweetest thing in life" is good health
and good spirits, and if you have them not, the
next best thing is, what will restore bloom to
the faded cheek and happiness to the dropping
heart. The great and sure remedy is Planta-
ton Bitters, which our ply sicians recommend
to both male and female patients, as safe
reliable, agreeable and cordial stimulant. They
contain nothing to disagree with the most
delicate constitution, and have won golden
opinions from all who have tried them; and
probably no article was ever tried by so many
persons. They elevate the depressed and give
strength to the weak.

OUR New HoTEL.-The Boston Post says
"when Messrs. Ramsey & Wheeler get into
their new house in Portland, the hotels in
Boston will have to brush up to keep abreast
of their rivals down east" Well they might
give this caution, for with the surrounding at
fractions that nature give Portland, and the
beautiful drives and places of interest within,
it must become favorite resort for travellers
in summer at least, and when we get the new
opera house, this with our lectures and other
entertainments, will be of sufficient interest to
enable traveller to spend week with us in
winter as pleasantly as elsewhere.

THE GREAT CRIMINAL The Geographic
correspondence between President johnson
and Governor Parsons of Alabama which was
drawn out by the impeachment managers on
Thursday places the Executive in position Of
such gross criminality that there is no wonder
that his counsel WINGED ard objected to its in
PRODUCTION. AT the time of that correspond
ence, Jan. 18th, 1867, the military reconstruc-
ton bills had not passed All that was re-
quired of the Southern States in order to OBJ
tain the right of representation in Congress
was to ratiiy what is known as the 14th con-
stitutional amendment, which DISTINGUISHED
no white man, and eniranchised no negro ex-
cept at the option of the States themselves.
Alabama like the other unrepresented States
had rejected this amendment. The legislature
was still in session, however, and upon repre-
sensations from Washington that upon re-
consideration of the vote by which the amend
ment was rejected the Representatives ard
Senators from Alab ma would be Immediately
admitted to Congress, thsre was growing
sentiment in favor of such reconsideration.
Gov. Parsons telegraphed to President John
son to know if the promises that had been
made with reference to the course Congress
would take could be relied upon. To the ques
ton asked johnson made no reply, but coun-
selled in plain and emphatic language that
the legislature should not recede from its POSI-
ton. Here it was evidently in the power of
the President to have given such advice as
would have insured the restoration of one OF
the States whose exclusion from the Union he
SO often and SO heartily bewaIs. Instead of
taking patriotic and state 'manlike course he
deliberately advised that the conditions i'm
posed by Congress be not accepted No ruler
ever committed greater crime than this or
one more nicely calculated TO inhict serious
injury upon his country. 1t was the evidence
of this crime that the Presidents counsel
wanted rejected because "the tenth article of
impeachment sets out speeches and not tele-
grams" That is, Andrew johnson is to be
permitted to go on defying the will Of the
American people and thwartiug their legally
expressed intentions because, as Mr.. Curtis
says, 'the tenth article sets out speeches and
not kilograms"
