The Boston Trnre'yer comments upon the
probabilities of the democrats nominating
Chase, and adds: "If they could contrive to
put Mr.. Garrison on their ticket for the Vice
Presidency, with the understanding that Mr..
Wendell Phillips should be made Secretary
of State, in the event of the Chief Justices
election, their proceedings would become suf-
rounded and orbcular to satisfy the
most fastidious of the worshppers of perfec-
ton"

Thaddeus Stevens has prepared four
new articles of impeachment against
President Johnson, which he will present
to the House. The first article charges
the president with instituting provision
al governments in the South without
consent Of congress; the second with
usurpation of the pardoning power; the
third with usiug his patronage to OBJ
strlct the laws of Congress in the South
ern States; and the fourth with using
corruptly his patronage to affect the re-
suit of elections in different States within
three years past. Mr.. Stevens has no
hopes of having his articles entertained
this session.

THE REASONS FOR THE REJECTION OF
THOMAs OF MARYLAND FROM THE SENATE.
Following are the reasons entertained by the
Senate of the United States fox not admitting
Thomas of Maryland to a seat in that body :
A substitute resolution provides that he
cannot be permitted to take the oath Of Office
repaired BY the Constitution Of the United
States, inasmsch as he allowed his minor son
to leave the patsrnal roof, and serve a. =
rebel soldier, and furnished him with 6l00 to
carry out his purpose, all of which was aid
and comfort and encouragement to the rebel
lion, which he was forbidden to give for
which, and in forbearing to make known that
purpose to the proper authorities, he was
guilty of misprision Of treason as defined by
the existing laws" Messrs. Sumner, Ed
munds, Yates, Sherman and Corbett opposed
his admission. and Mr.. Trumbull spoke in
favor Of it. Mr.. Buckalew obtained the floor
at half-pass four, but gave way to q motion
to adjourn.

WENDELL PHILLIPS SATISFIED WITH
GRANr.-The following from the pen of a
correspondent appears in the Anti Slavery
Standard, Wendell Phillips paper, and
would seem to meet the views of that sus-
picious political fog WHISTLE inasmuch as
it is accompanied by no word of dissent from
him:
at last our yelled prophet has unveiled
himself, and the face beneath is not at all
that of Mokanna. 1t is that of strong,
irate man, who has forborne until endurance
ceased to be virtue, but the rather became
an hindrance of most embarrassing eharac-
ter.
OF course you have been an interested OBJ
server of the attacks on Grant, growing out
Of his rather adroit obedience to the law in
the matter OF the War Department affair.
One thing was certain, that the attempt Of
the President to injure Grant only succeeded
in degrading Johnson still more.
The correspondence is altogether credita-
BILE to the great soldier. 1t will relieve the
anxieties Of the American people as to his
real status. 1t places him squarely on the
front line, and we, the Radicals of the land,
are the debtors of Andrew Johnson for this
last service. Our enemies folly has again
served our cause.

EASTERN DISPATCHES.
From the Virginia Enterprise Of yesterday. ]

From the Virginia Enterprise Of yesterday j
CONCORD, N. H.. March 2.-The Repub-
lican Committee publish the following as
their canvass of the vote in New Hampshire :
Republican, 3S,437; Democratic, S5,2O3 !;
doubtful, 1881.
PORTLAND, Me-, March 2.-The charter
election to-day resulted in the choice of the
Republican candidate for Mayor by about
$50 majority. The Democratic gain is 500
over the Spring elections and 3o5 over the
Fall elections.
New YORK, March ga fire occurred
after midnight this morning which burned
portion of Barnum's Museum, occupied by
Van Amburgh's menagerie. So rapid was
the spread of the flames it was impossible to
save any of the large animals. The yeils of
the animals as the flames reached them were
appalling. They bounded from side to side,
or darted madly against their bars in vain
attempts to free themselves. The fremen
we're at another fire, in Spring street, when
the Museum caught. When they arrived the
building was wrapt in flames. The interior
soon burned out, and the adjoining buildings
were seriously injured. The Prescott House
took FIRE and was saved only by extraordinary
exertions. The loss on the Museum and
contents will reach half million. Amount
of insurance not ascertained. Other parties
lose heavily.
A Times special says J. C. Clark, teller Of
Riggs banking house, Washington, D. c is
a defaulter to the amount of $40, 900.
ST. LOUIS, March 3.-The steamers Mep-
ham and Fanny Scott were burnt at the levee
to-day. Mepham was New Orleans boat,
valued at $4,000; Fanny Scott was valued
at $4,000. Insured for about two-thirds of
their value.
AUSTIN, Texas, March . Returns re-
ccived from all but - counties. Over $1,000
votes we're cast for the Convention, which
has undoubtedly carried.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, March "a vote was
taken in the Senate and House to-day for a
successor to Thomas as United States Sdna-
tor. Eighty-two were cast Thomas received
80 the rest were scattering.
New YORK, March 3.-A Times special
says there seems to be determination with
in the Senate to press the Presi-
dents trial to very speedy close. This is
manifest by the manner they curtailed de-
bate in their rules to govern the Court, and
the precedence they gave all matters pertain
ing to impeachment in the Senate. No idea
Of the length of the trial has been expressed.
except by Mr.. Williams Of Oregon, who said
IN debate to-day that it could not be complet-
ed in two or three days, and would probably
AXE less than = week.

A LIE NIPPED IN THE BUD.-" Mack"
Washington correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Commercial having elaborated a state
ment that Senator Sumner had promised q
vacant Secretaryship to one of his colored
constituents and subsequently backed down,
Hon. John W. Forney, Secretary of the
Senate and editor Of the Washington Chron>
icle denies the story in toto through the
columns of that paper and says:
1t is here stated that Mr.. Sumner recon-
mended an application from a colored person
for vacant clerkship in the Senate, and
that he yielded to pressure from his associ-
ates in the Senate and finally sent the appli-
cant away. The whole story, in all its de-
tails. is fabrication. No person, white or
black, applied to him for the appointment
nor was there any pressure upon Mr.. S.
from, associates or nybody. Mr.. S. rendered
the vacant place first to General Hartwell,
of Mass, a gallant soldier of honor, who
preferred to continue at the bar. He then
rendered it to Colonel Henry Ware, lately
private Secretary of Governor Andrew, who
has now entered upon the duties of the Of
fee. The romance has not even the excuse
of probability, and there is not living soul
who can mako good any particle ofthe state
mept.

GIANT PowDER.-A scientific gentleman
of San Francisco furnishes the following de-
scription of this new explosive compound,
which is destined, it is affirmed, to set aside
the common blasting powder now in use:
Dynamit. or Giant Powder, is nitro glyce-
rine mingled with some non-explosive mate
rial, as charcoal, SILICA, paper or similar
substances. These porous articles absorb
the native glycerine, and render it in a high
degree insensible to shocks, and it can be
burned over = fire without exploding. 1t is
exploded when under very close and resisting
confinement by means of spark or any Of
the means used ordinarily to fire gunpowder,
or without or during confinement by special
Eliminating cap containing a strong charge
of illuminate; the cap being tightly screwed
to the safety fuse to highten the effect of the
defamation. An additional charge of gun
powder will explode it even when only par
TALLY confined.

PETITION FOR NATIONAL SPECIFIC
CONTRACT LAw.-The following from the
Washington Chronicle of the 18th of Febru-
airy carries with it, BY implication, the con-
viction upon the part of the petitioners that
State Specific Contract laws are unconstitu-
tional and void
During the past week numerous petitions,
signed by leading business men Of the large
cities of the country, have been laid before
the Senate, praying the passage of law to
provide that all contracts made payable in
gold BY the parties thereto, shall be payable
in gold according to the tenor Of the same.

IMPEACHMENT.

Grant will not be the next President.
We are convinced of this after reading
the telegraphic news which we publish
this morning. And the reason why he
will not be the next President is because
he will have to wait until President
Wade's term of one year, or less, has
expired. The flag and its thirty-seven
stars will drop out of the great Circle
Swinger's hands before he is many
months older, for the last time; and
they will get worthier keeping under the
more faithful guardianship of the sturdy
Ohioan. Impeachment is fixed fact.
The Indictment is drawn and the trial Of
the great offender can not be evaded nor
long deferred Ashley of Nevada to the
contrary, Notwithstanding. Chat same
Ashley deserves a leather medal, by the
way.) The House of Representatives
has done its duty nobly; and we have
no doubt that knowledge Of a two
third majority in the Senate encourages
this prompt action. Congress has ar
rived At its present attitude by cautious,
careful steps. Deliberate, wary ad-
vances and no lines of retreat have char
acterized its proceedings in this a. in
other matters Of grave import.
We judge from the spirit manifested
in the Senate that determination exists
to proceed with the trial of the President
with as little delay as possible and TO
bring it to q close at the very earliest
possible period. The case is plain
one and one which need not be hindered
by delays. Indeed, from present ap-
pearances, Johnson's term of Office
seems destined to be broughtto aspeedy
Conclusion. lie will probably have to
pack "my policy" and the balance of
his baggage and vacate the White House
in favor of old Ben. Wade within the
Ds1s thirty days. The sooner the
better.
