From the Pittsburgh Chronicle Grad. Il
MIR. Wnde's Vote.

Without reference to the judicial
questions involved in the impeachment
trial-questions which the Senate alone
is competent to try-we do not hesitate
to say,tbat we should congratulate the
country if the Presidential Office should
be at once confided to better hands than
Andrew Johnson's. We would not,
however, suffer this desirable change ID
the White House by. any means having
the slightest appearance of untairness or
dishonoI able motives. And it seems to
us that Senator Wade, the acting Vice
President, and, therefore, the successor
of Andrew johnson in the event of his
coaslction, should take this view of
this grave matter. ButEhe does not.
Contrary tn every expectation of his
most trustwOrty friends, and in viola
tion of every just principle by which
he shonld have been prompted, apart
from a high sense of delicaey under the
circumstances, Mr.. Wade voted on the
Eleventh article of impeachment Sat
urday last-and voted to place himself
in the Presidential chair. Mr.. Wade
thus committed, to say the least, great
blunder so far as his political record is
coneerned--a bluDder, indeed, for which
he cannot be exoused, and which will
prove to be an enduring stain upon his
escutcheon as a Senator. The spirit
of the constitution contemplates
that. in case of the impeachment
of the President, no party, whose Off
cial promotion may be secured by the
conviction of the accused, shall take
any share in the trial. And the very
fact that Mr.. Wade has demonstrated
an utter lack of that exalted sense of
personal honor which was at stake up
on his conduct in this impeachment
business, it may be we'll indeed that
even SO bad q man as Andrew johnson
is not to be succeeded at present by the
Senator from Ohio. We say this of Mr..
Wade nero in serroS than in anger.
"He knew the right, but feared the right to do

A frightful crime has been commit

caused great sensation among all
classes. Some wretches managed to in
troarce themselves in the middle Of the
night into the house Of an Indian named
Trangu, situated near the new fort Of
Hueqnen, about . league distant from
Angel, and committed the following
atrocities: A woman of fifty years of
age killed by cutting her throat; one of
twenty years clubbed to death; child
at the breast, and two others Of eight
and ten respectively, ditto; another
woman of twenty years of age was left
unconscious, and another managed TO

ment wherever it can be applied
REDUCTION OF THE ARMY.
1t is hoped that Congress will
sanction the reduction which his
report recommends. While in 1860,
sixteen thousand three hundred
men cost the nation Sl6.472,,
900, the sum of S65,6s2,000 is
estimated as necessary for the
support Of tho army during the
fiscal year ending June 80,
1870. The estimates of tho War
Department for the two last fiscal
years were: for 1867 s33,Sl4, 46l,
and for 1868 S25, ,2O5,6 ,669. The
actual expenditures during the
same period were respectively
sos. .22f,4l5, and S123,24G,648.-
The estimate submitted in Decem-
Der last for tho fiscal year ending
June 80, 1869, was S17,124,7O7.- =
The expenditures for the first
quarter ending the 30th Of Septem-
Der last, were s27,2l9,1l7. The
Secretary of tho Treasury gives
S66,000,O0O as the amount which
will probably be required during
tho remaining three quarters, if
there should beno reduction of the
army, making its aggregate cost
for the year considerably in excess
OF 500, 100000. The difference be.
tween tho estimates and expendi.
lures for tho three fiscal years
which have been named is thus
shown to be Sl75,5l5,3i3 for this
single branch of public service.

Tho companies constructing the

have been most cncrgeticalIy en-.

companies amounted on the 9th

work had been performed to tho
amount Of $4,000, 900. Tho Sec.
