Senators themselves will learn its char
acter until after the vote is taken.
We are not of those, who think that, so
far as political ssults are concerned, the
Democratic party would gain more by
the acquittal of the President than by
his conviction. He has already been ac-
quilted before the country, and
his. conviction will injure the
party that procures it, far more
than it will benefit that party.
And were il not that the leading Rad
icals insist that WADE's accession to
Mr., JouNsoN's seat is essential to the
election Of GRANT, and that the place
hunters are bringing the most enormous
pressure to bear to secure the Presi.

the Republican Senator'S would take
counsel of their prudence, and relieve
their party of the odium that it must
incur should the impeachment pro-
gIamine be carried out to the letter.

Vegetation here is wearing its mid
summer dress. The prospect OF fruit
crop is very good and the grain is CON-
ing on handsomely. Lettuce, aspara-
gus, radishes, "and sich," from the
kitchen garden, have been staple arti.
cles of diet for some time. VI beautiful
flowers there is already q aprofusion, and
that skillful Florticulturist, George JEFF
fries, Esq, has already in bloom in his
garden, flowers whose bulbs were first
nourished by the soils of three conti-
nents. Certainly no finer collection Of
rare and beautiful flowers, both native
and exotic, can be found within the
limits of the State than are here dis
played.
Considerable interest is being felt in
the probably early development of the
mineral resources of this region. Sew
eral gentlemen, both capitalists and
practical iron men, have lately made
explorations here with the most salts

orally conceded that blast furnace for
the reduction of the iron ore of the
neighborhood will soon be erected.
Should the expectations of the company
be realized, and We see no reason why
they should not, the Kanawha region Is
destined TO become as famous for It's
iron as it is already fast becoming for
its coal.

boat Of1icered and manned by better

the Kanawha packets, the "Sechler," or

The End Conleth.


Tomorrow At noon, the SenTtc will
commence voting upon the impeach-
ment articles. 1t is understood that q
verdict will speedily be rendered.
Wat that verdict will be, is as much
matter of conjecture now, as at any
time since the beginning of the trial.
That class of Senators ranked as
doubtful" are still as doubtful as ever,
detyins scrutiny and battling all calcu-
!atIOn. At the same time, it cannot be
denied that for some reason, the i'm
peachers are now more confident than
they were four days ago. Whether their
restored serenity is due to any "satis-
factory assurances" recently received,
or TO tho discovery that their late pan
!e was produced by their fears rather
Than by any real development, is a mat
'er OF conjecture,
We incline to the belief that most OF
Inc statements of Washington cores
pondents, relative to the manner in
which such Senators as FEsSENDEN,
lRCMBULL, VAN WINKLE, and others OF
IAatcIaSs will vote, are manufactured for
sensation purposes. We doubt if they
aav' indicated their views to either
SIDE, in such terms as would enable
Tue newspapers to speak accurately
eohcerning them. s.. r IT
correspondent of we'll known,
Ou' not entirely reliable, New York

".nself and them an argument in faror

ing is to keep the several PAGES entirely
distinct. When training, the walk
should be first prscticed, aud this should
BE made as rapid as possible, without
breaking. He should first be permitted
to trot few steps then walk. And
when he has learned to walk we'll and
rapidly for his size and figure, trotting
should be Sttended to, and in trotting
the same rule should he carefully OBJ
served. Keep him trotting while the

than over urging at first. Still a colt
should, after being taught to walk fast
aud trct steadily, be occasionally pushed
to his speed in trotting. This should be
done for only very short distaHce at
first, while it may be gradually irrreas-
ed as the power and stamina of the an
imal increase. If it is desired to fit him
for use under the saddle,-a practice
that has increased immensely since the
war,-he should be taught as soon as he
can bear light weight on his back,

best saddle gait in the same way as the

the greatest pains to be taken TO keep
these distinct from each other.
Although q colt should be thus brok-
en-, handled, driven and ridden before
three years old, still too much care can
not be used to prevent over.exertion,
and permanent injury therefrom: Two
or three miles day, witha light car
rage, is the outside work such colt
ought to do; and as this is so generally
done in the village or neighborhoOd, if
not always thOug ght about, the distance
is very apt to be exceeded before the
driver is aware. OF course, while thus
training, attention should be paid to
the habits of stopping at the word, and
not starting till the signal is given; of
how much weight should be borne Oh
the bit, and of all the other things
which go to make up pleasant driver.

years DID, | would breed from her and

Reconstruction Revised.

Radical journals of the "On to Rich
mond" and "On to Conviction" order
are exceedingly anxious to have certain
Southern States, from which there are
vague returns indicating elections and
adoptions of Constitutions favorable to
the Radical party, Immediately admit
ted to representation in Congress.
There is even bill-Paine's, similar to
Farnsworth's, reported March l5-for
the admission of Arkansas, which de-
clined to adopt the State Constitution
prescribed as special condition for ad-
mission, and certain Radical papers re-
ioice over the ratification of the pro-
posed fourteenth Constitutional Amend
ment by the Arkansas so-called Legis-I
lature, which General Gillem refuses to
recognize. Nevertheless, all these
States, those that are supposed to
have complied with certain con-
ditions, and those that have fatty re-
fused to respond to the Radical de-
mands, are NOW to be brought in; bag
and baggage (that is, so much of the
bag and baggage as carpet-bagger
carries), if the Radical leaders have
their way Half this haste and a tithe
of this anxiety on the part of these
sane Radicals would have completely
restored the Union three years ago, aud
would have accomplished the object for
which the war Ostensibly was fought, if
the su-called Reconstruction acts were
not devised expressly to prevent any
restoration which should not be favor
able in Il political point of view to the
Radical party. The immediate anxiety
is to rush in the rotten bOroughs Ill time
to have. them plausibly represented, not
in Congress, but by carpet-bag and col
orea delegates at Chicago. But the cleo
tions in Louisiana and Georgia, which
the Radicals claim, aud which are cited
as models of finished reconstruction,
have only postponed real reconstruction
little longer. In both these States
boards of military officers are to receive
and count the returns, to examine the
Registrations lists, to investigate alleged
frauds and abuses in voting, to collect
the fact in cases where the eligibility OF
candidates is disputed, and to submit
the whole to the commanding general
in each State "for his decision and ac-
ton" This will be work of weeks,
and the investigation may develop such
a mass of fraudulent registration and
returns that the only way of dispsSing
of the matter will be the order
ing of a new registration and cleo
tion, under stricter safeguards and
supervision. This undoubtedly will be
the better plan. Elections, conducted
by Radical registrars, most OF whom
were themselves candidates for offices,
and claimed by majorities made up of
voters who were driven to the polls to
vote under Radical dictation, could not
but be outrageously fraudulent. The
fact that such elections are to be thor
oughly silted by army officers, who are
not candidates for Office, is an assurance
that the rascally frauds of Radicalism
will be fully exposed; while the necessi-
ty for such revision of the returns is d
commentary upon the manner in which
the so-called elections were conducted.

of our ladies will remember being called
upon at their residences last fall, by a
lady agent going around and selling
ladies' 'corsets,' and fitting them, at a
remarkably low price. Recently, in an
interior town in this State, the very
same woman by the eheapness of her
steck and decided and unwarranted
partiality shown q beautiful lady Gus
toner, aroused suspicion, and, on the
lady being arrested, she was found to

visitatiens during his absence. He con-

says: "About midnight his ghostship
appeared and commenced his spiritual
manifestations The watcher, with re-
volver in hand, slyly slipped to the
door, opened it suddenly, and laid vio-

him into the house, o light was struck,

stood revealed, to his astonished gaze,
the form of one of his Aeighbors, who
had long been anxious to purchase the

course to depreciate its value. He went
down upon his knees and begged his

judicious application of cow-hide,
turned the rascal out. The house has

From the Nashville Union and Dispatch.l
Lynnville, a little "settlcm.uU''r and
railway station on the Nashville
AID Decatur Railroad, siXty-three miles
from this city, has been throw into a
fever Of excitement by most rcmarka-
BILE discovery in the house of widow
woman, Mrs. Francis Strickland, who
resides at that place. A day or two
since, the body of an infant, badly de
composed, and with both legs severed
below It's knees, was found slowed away
in her trunk, and had apparently been
there considerable length of time, the
guilty mother not having the courage
to undertake its removal and burial.
She was placed under arrest, along
with grocer named VIM. Bgickcan,
during the war q soldier of the Sd Ten
uessee Confederate Infantry, who was
alleged to be the father of the appar-
emily murdered child. About two years
az. James Strickland, her erhusband, was
found dead in the stable near the house,
with his throat cut from ear to ear, aud
no clue has ever been obtained as to
who his murderer c.uld have been.

az letters are said to have passed be-
tween the guilty pair previous TO the
cruel death of Mr.. Strickland.
A batch of letters haze been disCOv-
cred, some of them being appointments
for meetings of Mrs. S. and her para
mour, and Others advising her to resort
to medicine to bring about an abortion.
At coroncr's inquest, at which Justices
Wagstaff and Shields Officiated, a YER
dict was rendered to the effect that the
infant was born of the body of Frances
Strickland; that ut the time of its birth
it was living child; that wine of eTgot
had been used by the mother, and that
this failing to have the desired effect,
violence had been resorted to.
Mrs. S. asserts that the child was alive
when born, and that Brickcan was pres
ent at its birth. She also alleges that
he picked it mp, and that when he re
turned it to her the child was dead. 1t
is supposed he crushed it with his
hands.
Theaffair has created Il good deal Of
excitement, and more developments are
looked for.
