WILL IMPEACHMENT SUCCEED 7

The special correspondent of the New York
Herald says that impeachment cannot pass the
Senate, and that Senators Trumbull, Fessehden,
Anthony, Sprague, Upton, Van Wrinkle, Wiley and
Slerman-all cpublicans-will vote against it,
In this connection, The following will be found i'll
eresting:
"Tlere is room," says the Nashville Gazette, TO
.'suspect tha, Johnson and Chase understand each
other Johnson bargains to kill Grant in bis pecu-
liar way, and Chase bargains to shield the Presi-
dent from impeachment.

IMpFAcHMENr---How IT WILL PROCEED.

The House of Representatives having passed
resolution impeaching the President of the United
States of high crimes and misdemeanors, the Rich
mond Dispatch gives the following as the probable
programme of the proceedings:
The Chief Justice of the United States will pre-
side upon the trial, just in the British House OF
Lords. the Lord Chancellor of England presides
upon similar occasions All the Senator's are re-
quired 10 take an oath Tor 10 afrm that they will
well and truly try and true delivcrance make, &c
The case will be conducted on the part of The pros
ecution by managers to be appointed by the House
of Representatives and on the part of the Presi-
dent by counsels of his own choosing. Mr.. Stan
berry, Alr. O'Conor and Judge Black, are said to
have been engaged by the President. The House
of Representatives will select rs many managers
as it pleases, aud will probably, a compliment,
select Mr. Stevens as their chief manager. The
number will probably be LEGS than half Dozen
The Constitution provides that punishment in cases
of impeachment shall moi extend further tllan re-
moval from Office, and disqualification TO hold any
office under the Government. 1t requires the con-
currence of two-rhirds of the Senators present TO
do even this.
The Senate sits as court, and may as 4 court
make some order which will virtually suspend The
President during trial. The Senate deliberaes
with closed doors, but tie judgment is given Win
open doors.
No President of the Unitcl States has ever before
been impcachcd, aud therefore the Chief Justice
has never before presided over the Senate, since
he does so only in such case,
II may require weeks ar months 10 complete the
trial. All depends upon the temper OF the Senate.

TIE NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.

Under this heading We have condensed NIL the
proceedings of Congress relative TO the impeach-
ment of the President, and invite the attention of
our readers to the same. The latest news is also
published on this page.
We would advise the public to be patient under
the excitement consequent upon this high-handed
measure Of an irresponsible faction Already the
signs are favorable that ANDREW JOHNSON may be-
come triumphant over the malignant enemies of
constitutional liberty, and that the Radical party
will be hopelessy wrecked OH this breaker of i'm
peachment. When passion has had brief sway,
the people of the North will behold the magnitude
Of tile effort to overthrow the government of our
fathers, and will rebuke the hatred and party
spirit 80 intensely manifested in NIL the recent
events This is our calm and deliberate conyic-
tiOn, and we would again impress all with The ne
cessity of patiently waiting and hoping for the
right. The above is written in consequence of
wild and reckless rumors now being circulated
over the country, tending to bring about fcverish
state Of excitement.

THE MEETING ON MONDAY LAsT--oRGANI-
ZATION

The proceedings of public meeting held at this
place on Monday last, to take initiaory steps for
the organization of Democratic Club i'll this Dis
trict, will be found in another column. Judge
MURRAY made an earnest aud impressive speech,
entering into brief review of the political condi-
ton of the country. and showing the absolute
eessity for organization among the Intelligent and
enlightened voters of this Sue and District, and
what might be accomplished by persistent, we'll
directed efforts. Gen. J. w. HARRISON was also
called upon, and responded in appropriate COM
uents upon the state of affairs existing in the
South, and urging the people TO take hold of this
movement and carry it on to successful issue. The
editor of this paper responded briefly to call
made upon him, and threw his mite in the balance,
in favor of complete and thorough organization.
The Court House was we'll filed with respectable
citizens, and the speakers were listened to with
much respect and apparent interest. 1t is to be
regretted that the legal sales ranspircd during the
progress Of the meeting, and enticcd away many
persons before the resolutions were adopted. How
ever, largo crowd remained, and the series of
resolutions were adopted, without dissenting
voice.
The meeting adjourned until Tuesday next, 10Th
inst, when it is proposed to form central Demo
cratic club, and adopt Constitution and bylaws
for its government. Hon. Il. T. PERRY, of Green
vile, has been invited to address the people on that
occasion, and We doubt not that there will be an
immense concourse to listen to his counsel and
profit by his wisdom.
The movement being inauguratel, it becomes
every man to inquire whether or not the dictates
of stern duty and sound patriotism are alike Urgent
in their demands for this action. 1t is question
each one must decide either one way or the other,
as the lines must inevitably be drawn, there being
no neutral ground. We would urge our people TO
view this subject earnestly and be prepared to act
promptly and decisivey. Let there be rousing
meeting on next Tuesday, and one that will strike
terror into the hearts of debased men, who would
sell their country and their neighbors to crafty
lust for powor.

GOVERNOR VANCE, OF NORTH CAROLINA.

We see it stated in our exchanges that the Hon.
u. Il. VANCE has been nominated by the Demo
cratic State Convention for Governor of North
Carolina His opponent, W. W. HOLDEN, editor
of the Raleigh Standard, is. the candidate of the
nggers and mean whites. Our readers VIII re-
member that VANCE defeated HOLDEN for Governor
in 1868, and that the latter then represented the
drcgs of society in North Carolina-ira''ors' cow
ards and Union slriekcrs. There is no man OF
his age in the United States better calculated than
ZEb VANCE to lay bare the Inconsistency and VII
lainy of old HOLDEN and his party His clarion
voice, too is a magic charm among the people,
and we doubt not that he will beat the hoary SIN
ncr "out of his boots" We go for anneSatien to
old Rip Van Wrinkle, if ZEB is elected Governor at
the coming election.
