of the army, and by their combined power
control the elections of 1868 In the ten
States not yet restored to the Union, while
Congress proposed to extend the elective
franchise to all loyal male citizens, and ex
Guiding large portion of those who had
been most active in organizing and carry
Ing on the rebellion.
Mr.. Johnson's purpose was to limit the
elective franchise to the white male citizens
and prevent the exercising it by all such
persons, without regard to their disloyalEy.
Ii hec could get control of the War Depart
ment, he could carry out his design; but
this he could not do without Glisregarding
the tenure of office act.
With thousands of office holders all over
the country, he could control the nomina-
tions of the Democratic party in every
State i'm the Union. With the War De-
partment in his hands and the tenure o.:
office act broken down, he would be able
to remove Gen. Grant, Gen. Sherman or
Sheridan, or any other officer who stood
in his way, and all to his own personal ad-
vantage.
would secure first the Democratic nomina-
tion,and second the electoral votes of these
ten States States. This done he had only to
secure enough of the States represented in
Congress and he would DEFY the House and
Senate, should they attempt to reject the
votes OF the ten States. lie would be suS-
tanned by his friends and supporters by the
War Department, Treasury Department
and the army and navy, and would have
been inaugurated on the 4th of March next
President for four years.
Mr.. Boutwell, then detailed the eff
fects of Mr.. Johnson's course, as seen in the
condition of the South, and contrasted his
case with several other public officers in
this and other countries, who had been i'm
peached and appealed to the senate to do
Justice.
He closed by saying his conviction is the
triumph of law, of order, of justice. do
not contemplate his acquittal. 1t is inn
possible. Therefore do not look beyond;
but, Senators, the people of America will
never permit an usurping Executive to
break down their securities for liberty,
provided by the Constitution. The cause
of the country is in your hands. Your
verdict of guilty is peace to our beloved
land.
At four o'clock, Mr.. Boutwell,, at the
suggestion of Mr.. Conkling, yielded to a
motion to adjourn, stating that he would
occupy about an hour aud half to-mor-
row, and accordingly the court, and i'm
mediately thereafter the Senate, adjourned.

SERVED HIM RIGHT.-We always feel
glad when one of those fellows who feels
that he Is irresistible and that every woman
he meets admires him come to grief
This style of men seem to think, judging
from their actions, that there is no such
tn ing as virtuous woman, and that any
lady walking alone is fit subject for their
arts. A fellow of this sort-and we wish
we knew his name; wouldn't we print i5.
neither met the estimable wife of one
of our first citizens on the streets yester-
day and accosted her, asking her where
she lived, promising to call on her, and
making himself obnoxious generally. The
lady had never seen him before, and,
though indignant and frightened, managed
to get rid of the fellow just before reaching
home. She informed her husband of the
actions of the ruffian, and he piled into
him in way that would have made the
"Benicky Bye" dance for joy could he have
seen 1t. The chastisement was richly de-
served, and well laid on. We hope it may
serve as warning to him to keep away
from ladies who have husbands learned in
the art of getting in the left duke.

SPLENDID MILLINERY.-The citizens OF
Columbus and vicinity should congratulate
themselves on having in their midst enough

which full lines of all that properly belongs
to the millinery trade can be purchased at
eastern prices. We refer to the new and
extensive wholesale house of Mrs. A. E.

time spent in looking at the immense stock
of splendid goods on exhibition. Mrs.

partment of her business by Mrs.J. Stoner
and Miss Matte Worrel, who will continue
it at the old stand, Postoffice Arcade. The

Marshal McCabe arrested man, about 45
years old, living at Canal Winchester,
named Silas Chapins, on charge of bigamy.

rest. as above stated. In 1854, Chapins was
married in Butler county, Ohio, and moved
to Grandvilie, Indiana. There six children
were born to him. His business, as deal
er in patent rights and horse trader, took
him away from home a great deal. He
finally brought up in Bonneville, Ross
county, Ohio, where he passed as
single man. In Bonneville he made the
acquaintance of Martha j. Flora,
most estimable young lady about 20 years
of age, and on the 18th day of March last
he was married to her. Shortly after the
marriage he moved with his wife to Canal
Winchester, where he has since resided.
The announcement of the wedding was
published in the newspapers and thus came
to The notice of Mrs. Chapins No. 1, who
wrote to the postmaster at Bonneville
asking for information on the subject. The
inquiry thus set on foot led to his arrest.
He will be taken to Ross county to-day for
trial.

THEATER.-There was shocking bad
attendance at the Opera House last night
The saw dust was too big an opposition.
The play of Nobody's Daughter is a very
neat one, and full of interest, the story we'll
told and the situations good. 1t was play
ed $3.50. The farce went off with as much
spirit as could be expected from the "beg-
carly account of empty boxes" We do
not wish to criticise the actresses and ac-
tors until we can see them under the ex-
citement and inspiration of full house.
1t makes all the difference in the world to
the player whether there be any one in the
house or whether it be full. Tonight the
great drama of Aline will be presented,
with the farce of Sketches in India.
