THE OVERLAND MAILS.

The telegraph informs US that Wells,
Fargo L Co. having made the highest
bid for carrying the Overland mails will
not continue that service, but that it
will be performed in future by certain
new contractors under the name of the
California Stage Company. Who aad
what that Company is We are not in
formed our impression being that the
old stage line that used to be SO closely
identified with the passenger trade in
California ceased to exist some two or
three years ago-hsving been absorbed
into the Pioneer Line. Be this as it
may, Wells, Fargo & Co., who are bet
ter prepared than anybody else to per-
form this important postal service, hav-
ing made The highest bid, it seems evil
dent that they consider it character of
business which can only be performed
a: An extraordinary cost; and as the
Transmission of the mails under this
contract has been more reliable and
regular than by any other hands, some
thing of apprehension cannot be sup
pressed that under the new contractors
there will be repetition of the old Gus
tom of bridging gullies and creeks with
mail bags and filling of ru,s with public
documents. However, as the Contra.
Pacific and Union lines approach one
another, the difficulties and dangers of
the Overland service are decreased
and it may be that with a shortened
stage route, the California Company
aforesaid may be able to fulfill their
contract as we'll as their predecessors
AID for that matter, there is good
chance for improvement upon the regu-
larity and dispatch of the present ar
rangemeut. Let US hope that Uncle
Sam will, for once, be the gamer by
letting a mail contract to the lowest
bidder.
P. S.-Since the above was put in
type, the Trespass dispatch has inform
ed US that certain party in Chicago is
the new mail contractor. His name,

RICH DIsPUrE.-Two men living in Den
mark, Madison county, while riding home
the other day, got into a debate about the
sttractiveness Of their wives, and their ex-
cellence rs bed-fellows McCrackin proudly
declared that his companion was the most
desirable. This assertion excited the chiv-
alrc Indignation of the Doctor, who instant
ly drew his la,c-maker, or revolver. as COM
mon phraseology has it, and sent Bob a
specimen of its contents, which missed the
mark, however. McCracken had an cpl
tome of his opinion also put up in cold lead
and powder, and he lost no time in attempt
ing to give the Doctor reply, but accl-
dentally the weapon fell from his hand to
the ground. and he was compelled to crowd
spurs to his horse for safety. The Doctor
hastily whanged away at McCracken while
on the jump, and succeeded in making one
or two slight indentures in him after he had
got off long distance. The Doctor feeling
a religious confidence in the pardoning mercy
of grand Jurors in Madison county, directly
surrendered himselfto the sheriff, and will
wait for the county authorities to decide the

question, " Who has the best bed-fellow =

THE FEN1AN MOVEMENT.

Such Irishmen as are sincere in their
attachment to the Fenian cause, hoping,
by its influences that the condition of
Ireland is one day to be bettered, are to
be commiserated upon the existence of
a majority within the counsels of the
Brotherhood of such frothy, impracti-
cable valiants as the instigators of that
stupid violation of the neutrality laws,
the invasion of Canada. 1t would seem
that the Fenians are sort of Irish harp
upon which every insidious, blarneying
schemer in the country may play at will.
Mexico has a vastly better promise of
conquering the United States by invad-
ing Texas, than the Fenians have of
bringing the British Government to
terms by making incursions into Canada;
and yet, whenever shrewd, unscrupu-
lous parcel of contractors devise scheme
for specializing in old arms and ammu-
milton they begin agitating " Fenian
Invasion :" and when the spectators
tune is played out, the Copperhead dem
agogues seize upon the poor old harp
and finger out a tune which they intend
shall get poor Pats Irish up against the
Black Republicans. Just now, another
invasion" being on the taps, and
Grant having taken the precautions
which it is his bouuden duty to take to
prevent IN infraction of the neutrality
laws, We are undoubtedly upon the eve
of terrific avalanche of virtuous in
dignation from the Democratic press
against the General for standing between
the Kanucks and 1'the just vengeance OF
the oppressed Of Ireland struggling for
their liberties.' Well, the hot-headed,
unreasoniug rank and file will be likely
to poke their heads into another such a
hornets nest as befell to the luck of :he
Fenian captives at Fort Erie; dozen
or more executions at Toronto will make
a CHASTITY ending to the affair and there
will b some scores of Irishmen less to
raise the devil a: the New York polls on
election day, and make themselves very
hot and very noisy by bawling huzzahs
for the Dimmicratic party and curses
for Grant and the Radicals. Canada
will stay out of the American Union just
long enough to occupy the most ridicu-
lous attitude that a nation ever got into
and then quietly submit to annexation
but the green flag of Erin will never
float from her citadels by reason of any
successful "Fenian Invasioa.'

outburst of applause. His subject was
" Farm Life" and right handsomely did
he manage it. The lights and shades of
farm life were presented in vivid and anu
sing pictures, calling forth repeated ap-
plause. He contrasted farming with other
pursuits, and showed that the same amount
of industry and intelligence would as GER
tainly bring success in farming as else
where; alluded to our present surround
ings, and the hardness of the times, but
insisted that there is life in the land still.

Maj. McClammy's Address was extempo-
raneous, and it is to be feared for this rea-
son the Society will fail to procure q copy.
Mr.. E. W. Kerr, al tho solicitation of the
members of the Society, and unanimous
request from the ladies, delivered his
speech of yesterday again to-day. No
higher compliment can be paid this young
gentleman for taste, fine elocution, and a
display of talents III the management of
his subject than this expression from the
OOc1ety ana the lauleS.
The writer did not hear Mr. BANDS ad-
dress of yesterday. 1t is spoken Of in very
supplementary terms, as one of the most
practical of the occasion.
Several gentlemen were called to the
stand, but few felt inclined to say much,
as the audience, had already been enter
tanned for a considerable time by the
speeches already referred to-
In eXcuslng himself from making a
speech, r. B. Frazer, Esq, Principal of
Colvln s Creek Academy, paid a very hand
some compliment to North Carolina. and
noted the close bond OF friendship that had
always existed between her and Virginia,
his native State. Mr.. T. closed his re-
marks amid the applause Of the audience
After the reading Of the Constitution an
opportunity to join the Society was ex-
tended to those wishing to become mem
bers, and quite a respectable number
awaited themselves Of the opportunity.
Rev. Colin Shaw was elected an honorary
member.
The question as to tue place of holding
the next meeting of the Society WAS next
discussed. 1t was thought best, for the
present, whilst the Society is in its infancy.

spoken Of us suitable places. The question
WAS finally left to the Executive Committee
to settle.

thanks Of the Society were rendered to the
citizens OF the surrounding country for
their hospitality and kindness to the mem
bers during this meeting.
On motion, the Society adjourned.

the power to Congress to suspend the Ex-
ecutive during trial. This very question
was proposed, debated and decided adj
versely.
During the final deliberations and upon
the third day before the adoption of the
Constitution by the Convention, and when
the section quoted at the beginning of this
article was under consideration, Mr.. RUT-
LEDGE, of South Carolina, moved to amend
by adding, ''that persons impeached be sus-
pended from their Office until they be tried
and acquitted" He was seconded by Mr..
GoUvERNEUR MORRIS, of New York. Mr..
MADISON, with wise craftsmanship and
prophetic wisdom, which would almost lead
one to suppose his mind comprehended
present troubles, is reported us opposing
in these words ''The President is made
too dependent already on the Legislature,
by the power of one branch to try him, in
consequence of an impeachment by the
other. This immediate suspension will put
him in the power of one branch only.
They can, ut any moment, IN order to make
way for the functions of another, more IA
vorable to their views, vote temporary
removal of the existing NIagistrate.'
When the vote was called, Connecticut,
South Carolina and Georgia only voted in
the affirmative New Hampshire, Massa-
chusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Della
ware, Maryland, Virginia and North Caro-
lima voting in the negative. Ehode Island
was not represented in the Convention, and
New York did not vote.
It Will thus be seen that any attempt to
suspend the President while the trial is
progressing, will be entirely "outside Of
the Constitution, and will be little less than
an open declaration of war against all law
"a more palpable and dangerous violation
of the Constitution than any yet made by
this fragrant body. Should they suspend
the President, n0LepS UOlens, and he submit
to their action, the trial is practically de-
cided against him, for the Senate may, for
one cause OF another, delay final action I'M
til the 4th of March, 1869, when the func-
tons of his Office would expire by limita
ton, and in the meantime Senator WADE
would occupy the Executive Chair and the
people would indeed be chained to the
Radical Juggernaut, and crushed beneath
| its wheels.
1t is impossible for those at a distance to
surmise even where or when these diff
culties will end, and can only pray that
Good and the American People will make
all right and save our Institutions
