there is no advance possible TO those COM

Bribery and Impeachment.

The investigation being made by the man.
ayers of the house, partial report of which
has been published, shows that most as.
founding system of corruption and bribery
was practiced in the impeachment trial.
Thurlow Weed, one c. W. Wooey and Sheri.
dan Shook, seem to have been the principal
managers in this plot to bride Senators to
vote for acquital, and which has proved so
successful. The amount of money shown to
have been used was comparatively small,
not more than 100000. Such men as Ross
sell surprisingly cheap. The ten million
fund suggested by the New York WorM is
dwarfed by the evidence ELECTED by the com.
mlttee, to Il mere pittance. The funds were
supplied by the whisky rings, which are kept
up by Andy johnson for the purpose of cor
ruption, and the money thus plundered from
the treasury is used by the President and the
managers of these rings to corrupt the
fountains Of justice. Thus the money of the
people is used to destroy the Government Of
the loyal people, and reinstate those in pow.
cr who made the rebellion, from which arose
all the evils the nation now labors under
We see no prospect Of relief from these evils
till the people can be heard at the polls for
Grant and Collax. The people move slow,
but like the mills Of the gods they will pull
verize Andy johnson and his corrupt gold
and whisky rings, aud sweep them like dust
from their foul dcns, where they now lie but
half concealed and fostering in their rotten,
ness, q stencil in the nostrils of every honest
and loyal man.

End of the ampea chment Trial

The Court voted on the second and third
articles Of impeachment on Friday last, with
precisely the same result as on the ELEVENTH,
80 for conviction and 10 for acquittal, the
twelve Democrats and seven apostate Re.
publican Senators voting for acquital. A
portion Of the Senate were in favor of furt h.
er postponement of the trial, but the major
ity were for disposing Of the case, and with
out taking vote on the remaining eight ar.
ticles, the Court adjourned sine die. Thus
ends the impeachment trial, with the escape
of the guilty, but, nevertheless with the YER.
dict of the country and Of the Senate against
him. Like the hosts of counterteiters and
treasury thieves that Andy johnson has par.
doned out of the penitentiary, the great
criminal has been suffered to escape the pun.
ishment his crimes loudly call for, but in the
hearts of the loyal people he is guilty con-
spirator in the ntererests of the rebellion
and he will take his place in history by the
side of Jeff Davis, R. E. Lee and the lead
ing spirits in the attempt to subvert the in.
situations of freedom on this continent and
establish the supremacy ola slave oligarchy.

A MAN WHO DIDN'T TAKE PAPER.--A
few days since, certaiit Mr.. Smith called
at the Office Of the County Commissioners
to have the tax on certain property, which
he had sold few months previously, releas.
ed and charged to the proper party, the pup-
chaser; and when told that due notice had
been given, as required by law, he indig
nantly demanded when and by whom? On
being informed that such notice had been
given by the Commissioners in the county
papers, and that ii was now too late to rem
edy it for the present year, his rage knew no
bounds, as he was the loser by several hun.
dred dollars. Cases Of this kind frequently
occur; and because parties do not take their
county paper. There is another class who
sometimes find themselves in the dark in
important matters: those who don't read
advertisements. 1t will pay every man in
the county to take The Wing and read it
through carefully.

QUEEN VICToRIAs JUuRNAL.-The Jour.

readable books Of the day. 1t gives the
reader view of the inner life Of Royalty
that cannot be obtained from any other

for her husband, Prince Albert, and her
family, is the noblest trait in Victoria S
character, and manifests itsefin every line
of her book. A glimpse of life among the
Highlands of Scotland is obtained in the vol
ume, which is written in so brief and plain
style, that the reader is unconsciouly car.

the scenes she describes as fully as if he had

Their Political Opinions and Bias.
In a recent letter to Hon. II. V. N. Miller, one
of the United States Senators elect from
Georgia, Hon. Joshua Hill, his colleague, says:
When asked what was your true position,
answered that you were au old Wing, but had
not been acting with the Democratic party,
That you were independent IN your course;
reeountipg what you had done for Convention,
IN the Convention, and in defense of the Con
stitution prepared by the Convention. And |
ventured to say OF you, that from my know
le0ge of you, you would support any measure OF
the new Administration that met your approval; ;
that you would not consider yourself bound to
follow the lead of any set of politicians. In
this l thought l did you no injustice. Such
was and is my confidence of General Grant, aud
such my reliance upon your manly determlna-
ton TO do whatever you think right, that
venture to hope that you will give Il generous
support to many OF the leading measures of the
incoming Administration"
To this letter Dr. Miller has replied as fol.
lo8s:-
ATLANTA, Ca, Wednesday, Nov. ls.-Dear
Sir: In your note OF the 18th inst. Dust
reCeiVed), you very correctly state my position
in relation 10 the incoming administration.
AS citizen or as q Senator, Will Offer 1t no
factious opposition. On the contrary, so far as
may be consistent with nv duty to the country
and my obligations to the Constitution, expect
TO support it. of General Grant personally,
know nothing; but IN common with the whole
country, l indulge the hope that availng him
self of his independent position, guided by his
own msgnsnimity and eound judgment he will
rise above mere party interests and make his
administration so ''grandy patriotic" as to
command the admiration of all men. Should
find exhibited by him the desire to restore to the
whole country the tranquility which results
from the Observance of the Constitution and
obedience to the laws and the liberty secured
by botn, he will have no more earnest supporter
than myself
From my knowledge OF your public and pri
vate character have no doubt you recognize
other and higher duties for an American Senator
than the maintenance of q party and the distri-
button OF the emoluments of office, and l share
with you the expectation that, upon questions
which may arise in the future, we shall not be
widely separated.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant.
