The Impeachment Case.

Excitement at the Capitol runs high.
The friends of the people are indignant,
disappointed and alarmed at the course
pursued by Senators Grimes, Fessenden,
Trumbull and Henderson. These men,
in speeches before the court have each de-
clared themselves in favor of acquittal, and
from present appearances the impeachment
trial will end like the JEFF. Davis farce-in
grand fizzle. The Court has postponed
the final vote on the articles to tomorrow,
on account of the illness of Senator How
ard, of Michigan. The friends of impeach-
ment still retain faint hope Of the convic-
ton and removal of Andrew Johnson, but
it is only faint one, and will probably be
buried on Saturday next.

rW-A good story is told of an English
man, miner, who by the way, knew
very little of the anatomy of cows, but had
come to the conclusion that COW would
materially assist in the support of his fam
ily. He went to neighbor Jones who had
COW to sell, and after taking number
of days to consider, and going to see the
cow several times, he concluded to buy
her, being assured that she was only four
years old, and had just had her second
calf. He liked the cow very much, and
often Dragged to his neighbors what a
beautiful COW he had got, inviting them to
come and see her. So ore day his friend
Dick, who has the reputation of being
somewhat of wag, called, and thinking
he would have some fun, commenced ex-
aiming the cows mouth. whats the
matter, Dick, lad, what tina looking in her
mouth for ?" "Iam looking to see how old
she is, and I'll be blowed if she amt more
than twelve years DID," "She amt no
such thing; this is her second calf, and
she is only four years DID," "Her Twenty
second, you had better say. Only four
years old; why lad, how you talk. Just
look into her mouth, that'll tell you"
"Why, I don't see anything" 'Nor l
either, that is on her upper jaw. Don't
you know that COW loses all the teeth in
her upper jaw when she is twelve years
old, and this venerable critter has not a
tooth on the upper side Of her mouth. "
III didn't notice that, but it's so, sure
enough. Well, declare, | was never
cheated so bad in all my life. I thought
she was only four years old. FIJI make
that old rogue sweat" and the last that
was seen of the owner of the cow he was
streaking it across the fields in the direc-
ton of neighbor Jones' house. Dick had
left by the time he got back.

3sIoutiI oarSSlana.ys,

Last Tuesday, the selections, in
South Carolina comm enced, and were
to close last night. The question is
upon Jne uaoption aoI she tsconstitu-
tom just framed bysthe black aud
tan body called into existence under
the s. s. s, bills, and the election of
Slate officers and members of Con-
gress. The white voters of South
Carolina are largely in the minority,
and OF course the defeat of the soon
stitution" is very improbable, but
with all the odds against them, our
white brethren there have not wholly
yielded to despair. They put full
ticket in the field, headed by Hon.
W. D. Porter, and determined that
whatever might be the result, they
would at least make the best resist
ance they could. Such O spirit of
determination is worthy of all praise,
and should animate every patriot in
the South.
Just on the eve of the election,
Hon. W. D. Porter, the nominee for
Governor, wrote letter withdrawing
his name, and advising the people to
devote all their energies to defeat
the Infamous instrument proposed as
a constitution. We fear that the
vote of the whites may not be as
large as it might have been had
candidates actively canvassed the
State. Yet the protest Of the white
people of South Carolina against the
iniquity forced upon them will not be
without its moral effect upon the
Judgment of the civilized world.
Conceding that the constitution"
will not be voted down, it will appear
that South Carolina will be imme-
diately dragged into the meshes OF
radical reconstruction, and we may
soon see that State represented in
Congress by delegation of SCALA
wags who have no other constituents
than negroes. OF course, the radical
majority in the House will hasten
to declare the terms of re-admission
complied with and the State of South
Carolina again ''in the Union. Then
we shall see in South Carolina that
anarchy and misrule under which
Tennessee has been SO long groaning
without hope of relief.

MIR. EDITOR: Persons are very
much annoyed in their yards by idle
negroes-sons and relatives, it may
be, of their cooks and others in their
service-who lounge about their
kitchens and servants houses, de-
pending upon these relatives to feed
them; and their support indirectly
comes out of the pockets of those
whose yards they infest. These ne
groes appear to have no employment.
A very good order was issued at one
time, that all idlers (capable) found
without occupation would be taken
up and put to work. The officers of
the garrison would be doing favor,
particularly to tho ladies Of the town,
would they issue like order now
and have it carried into effect. In
deed, the ladies would have no objec-
tlons to have their yards inspected
and particular inquiry made. They
know OF no other resort to be re-
lleved of the great annoyance, than
to appeal to the authorities.

conrsA tha., tnannika oil the ann.e-va-

did. In spite of what the Mercury
may think, it is on the policy, and
on the policy alone, Of that Conven-
tion, that the conservatism of the State
can be united. Besides, it is hard
for US to realize how the. generous
and just concessions of our people,
in the way of qualified suffrage,
can be tortured into repudiating "a

tell the Mercury.'that the gentlemen
who advocate the policy of qualified
suffrage, are just as alive to the dig.
nifty of their race as the Mercury may
be-are just as firmly resolved to
maintain its supremacy.
8. The Mercury charges that the
members of that Convention "made
concessions to the Republican party,
from whom they have nothing to
expect, and have, as far as their
action goes, undermined the position
of their best friends at the North"
On this point, we have to say that no
concessions were made to the Repub-
ican party. The concessions were
made for the good of the State, and
were deemed just, wise and polite.
AS to our undermining the position
of our best friends at the North, that
involves difference of opinion. The
Mercury esteems it undermining
the Convention esteemed it strength
ening and sustaining the Democratic
party of the country. AS to who
may be correct, we shall see.
The Convention did what it deemed
right in itself and conducive to the
best interests of the whole Southern
country. Doing this, the Afercwy
imagines we are embarrassing our
allies North, and quotes Shakespeare,
in the words of Falstaf. Let us
suggest to the Mercury quotation
from the same author, indicative of
an elevated line of action-suitable
to communities and States ns we'll as
to men:
"To thine own self be true,
And 1t must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man"

A suggestion to E1tre mlsts.

Suppose that the Democratic party
of the country were to take ground
on total denial to negroes of the pri-
vilege of suffrage. Even then, is it
not better, as matter of policy, for
ua to take less elevated position
and be drawn up higher. than to take
ground too elevated, to be brought
down lower? Will the Mercury con-
slider this?
