HoN. JOHN QUINCY ADAMs-A Pen AND INK
.SKETcH.-Owing to the indisposition of MIR.
Adams during his short stay in Columbia, he
was compelled to remain so completely retired
from public view, that apen and ink sketch OF
his personal appearance may not be unaccep-
table to our readers.
His appearance at the first sight is not pre-
possessing. He is short and square shoulder
ed, wears tight pantaloons and short coat,
his hair is brown and very short, and his COM
plexion is florid. BE wears no beard, Uhiskers
nor moustache, and the constant use of eye
glasses gives him an appearance Of aAectation.
His dress, however, is remarkably clean and
neat, without The least ostentation, and his
manner is that of well-bred gentleman. A
single opportunity Of bearing him in public,
or fifteen minutes conversation on matters Of
public interest, is enough to convince any one
that be i, not only weil-informed man and
deep thinker but clear-headed AID cool, with
complete command over himself, and ready
appreciation of any situation, however unex-
p ected.

THE PREsIDENr AND PARTIES.

A leading Republican journal, which,
however, is not an advocate Of the con-
yiction Of the President, takes consolation
in the fact that, though wrong, it is safe,
because, as it says, the President has no
party and no friends MIR johnson has,
indeed no party, nor has he troops of
friends If he had, he would not have
been impeached. Ii is true, also, that it
is chiefly his fault that he has no party
and that he can call so few men friends,
in the political sense Of the word
Ii isa misfortune for the country that
the grossest outrage that has ever been
attempted in the government should oc-
cur for the lack OF a party in sympathy
with the Chief Magistrate but it is a
question whether in such times as these,
it is not more creditahle 10 be without a
party Mr. Johnson Is being impeached,
because the Democratic party of the
North, for reasons best known to its
prominent leaders, and which we do
not hesitate to pronounce selfish and
unworthy, have coldly held aloof and
permitted it. This indifference to his
fate is the result Of aspiration and rival
ry, and a disappointed hungering for Of
fee, high and low A prompt marshalng
of the Democratic masses in support Of
Mr. Johnson administration would have
ayerted impeachment, and if done few
weeks ago, would have prevented convic-
ton. If he is not convicted, strange to
say, it will be because Of the iealousies
and collisions Of personal ambition il the
party desiring to supplant him, rather
than the support afforded by the party
which would retain him in Office. This
state Of facts, suggests the doubt as to the
desirability Of party as thing to be
admired in the abstract The direct
responsibility Of this impending great

RELIGION IN COMMON scmooLs.

z In another column, will be found an
extract from a letter berating Bishop
Quintard of this State, for certain views
expressed by him a few months since, in
an address to one Of the societies at Ok
ford University England If we remem-
Der Alright the Bishop declared himself
in favor of religious ingredient in the
instruction given in public schools, and
intimated the absence of it, as a defect
10 the common school system of this
country In this we sec no such henious
ofense as that discovered by this letter
writer, or the bloviatiug Mr. SpurgeOn of
London; and as for the aspersion upon
Bishop Quintard as defamer Of the in
situations Of his own country, it is Moth
ing more than an ebullition of Radical
malice
Very many people in this country be-
lieve that religious instruction should be
a part of the education of youth, in the
school as well as in the family. There
are difficulties in the way of establishing
such a regulation, but certainly our
schools would be none the worse if it
we're practicable to remove them; and
an American clergyman may say so in
Great Britain, we think, without incur
ring the charge of disloyalty, or the pur-
pose of degrading his country to foreign
listeners. Certainly our school system
is not so perfect that it needs no amend
ment and indeed the rampant irreli-
gion prevalent in that section which
boasts most of the perfection of its
schools, affords a strong argument in fa-
yer of some modification of the system
which may give the adolescent Massa~
chusetts mind, for instance, more res
ligiOus caste, and dispose it against the
freethinkings and fooleries of one sort or
another, for which thatfayored land is IA
nous. This letter is a scurrilous TRADE
from some oyerweening admirer of
everything American, without regard
t. truth or sense, and received its insti-
cation from the fact that the Diocese of
the Bishop in question is south of the

NEW YORK DISPATCHES.
a New Tiekef-SchOfieId and the Vir-
gInIR Constitution, etc.

New YORK, April 29.-The Tribune's
Washington special says: At meeting of
influential Democrats. Sunday evening it
was agreed to aid the nomination of Han
cock and Groesbeck for President and Vice
President.
1t ia stated that Senator Grimes will vote
for acquittal, while Fes5enden and one or
two others heretofore considered doubtful
will vote for conviction.
Capt. j. NJ. Buckley and nine others of
the bark Jacmel, recently returned from
ireland, leave for Cleveland to-day, en-
route for Idaho. They will be the guests
of the Fenian Brotherhood.
The Worlds Washington special says
Gen. Sehofeld desires the new Constitution
of Virginia submitted to the votes of the
people, to be voted upon in separate parts
or sections, and thus enable them, if the
voters deem it proper, to reject the dis
franchising clause, to which General Scho-
field takes exception, and adopt such other
parts as they may approve. Thus the
entire Constitution need not be rejected
because Of any one or more objective fea-
lures.
The sum total of the receipis from nearly
all the collective districts in the United
States, proves the revenue for the last FIVE
months to be at the rate of SI20, 600 900 per
year, or S30,000,000 less than the estimate
made by Special Commissioner Wells.
A New York Washington special says
Gen. Schofeld has written a letter to the
President declining his acceptance Of the
nomination to the War Department.

THE PRESSURE Upon SENATOR'S
BROWNLOW THREATENS row

The Washington correspondent OF the
New York Herald says
"The strongest kind Of pressure is still
being brought 10 bear in order TO assure
success, as the Radicals see in defeat moth
ing but an almost hopeless cause. John
Covode of Pennsylvania, to-day received a
private letter from Governor Brownlow, of
Tennessee, in which the expected vote of
Senator Fowler in favor of acquittal was
treated in no courtly terms The Radicals
Of Tennessee appear TO be in high state
Of excitement, and IL is said If their Sena-
tor does not support them some highland
ed measure will be resorted 10. According
TO Governor Bownlow, when Senator Fow-
Ter received his appointment to the Senate,
be gave strong pledges Of support 10 the
Radical cause, and especially il is asserted
he promised % vote for and in every man
ner within his control TO aid impeachment.
II he does not hold 60 his promises he ia
threatened with political out-lawry and
other Inconvenience, which, it IS asserted,
will render Tennessee anything but desi-
rable abode for him in the future
The attempts that have been made to
influence Senators to vote to convict the
President are disgracelul Ii such a
course had been attempted with a Judge
and jury, the authors would have been
dealt with severely The outrage in the
present case is greater than if an attempt
had been made TO influence jury 1t is

A SCENE BETWEEN BUTLER AND
NELSON.

The following episode occurred in the
Senate just before Mr.. Evarts commenced
his argument on the 29th instant:
Mr.. Butler asked leave to make a person.
al explanation in regard to the Alta Vela
matter, referred to by Mr. Wilson, and read
a written statement in which he con-
demned in very severe terms the intro
duction by Mr.. Nelson of assertions and
insinuations unsupported by evidence, and
irrelevant to the case and went on to relate
the circumstances of his connection with
the matter. He stated he gave Mr.. Shelter
an opinion on the Alta Vela claim before
impeachment was decided on, or before the
President committed the act which gave
rise TO il, and had never heard Of it after
wards, until published in the New York
papers. Mr.. Logan also signed it, bot the
other signatures were affixed 10 the copy of
his opinion long after the original was
given the President Neither he nor any
of the other managers Lad Any interest in
the Alta Vela claim The signatures wers
sent to the President ia order 10 support
him in doing what he had already declared
his intention Of doing.
Mr.. Butler then read aiiidayits Of
Chauncey f. Black and Mr.. Shelter cor
roborating these assertions.
Mr.. Nelson, by permission, replied, and
reminded the Senate that the topic was not
introduced by himself, and claimed he had
q right to yindicate his client from asper-
sioas cast upon him by the other side. He
had brought no accusation against the
managers, and coatended warmly that as
the imputarion made against him just now
was uniuslifable and outrageous. He had
supposed that the original opinion wss
dated like the copy, and asked why he
had not been corrected when he read the
letters. II allowed, he would produce
them tomorrow. and would show that the
additional signatures were made after the
trial had commenced, and were used by
Judge Black to influence the President.
Ia the course of his remarks Mr.. Mel
son was called TO order by Mr.. Yates, and
Mr. Logan stated that the signatures were
affixed before the impeachment com
menced.
Mr.. Nelson said the letter would show.
