PROGRESS OF IMPEACHMENT.

The impeachment trial has nearly rnn
its course. Post Master General Randall
and Secretary Of the Navy We.les, have
been examined. Butler was rather sharp
on Randall in relation to some OF the lat
ter's removals. Randall was obliged to
admit during the rigid examination he met
with, that he made many removals of post
masters without any color of law. Sec'y
Welles' testimony did not materially as
sist any one, as he does not belong to this
generation. Mr. Stanberry's illness has
been something of an impeachment to the
progress Of the trial, but on Monday
morning, at the re-asse mhhng of the Sen
ate as Court of Impeachment. the Pres
ident's counsel announced that their tes-
timony for the defense is closed. After
some rebutting testimony offered by Mr..
Butler, he announced that the testimony
is also closed ON the part the Managers.
Mr. Boutwell,, of the Managers, will open
the summoning- up arguments on We'd
nesday. The case will probably be given
to the Senate at the close of the week,
and verdict may possibly be reached
before the week closes. --' ei ~

LIVING WITHOUT SLEEP.-FiVe
young men in Berlin lately made an
agreement for wager, to see who of
them could keep awake for a whole
week. They all held out for about five
days and a half, by drinking largely OF
strong coffee, and keeping up con-
stant round of active exercises and
exciting amusements. At the end of
that time two of them yielded to drows-
mess. A third soon after fell asleep
while riding, tumbled from his sad
die and broke his arm. A fourth was
attacked by severe sickness and COM
PEELED to retire from the lists. The
fifth held out to the end, but lost
twenty-five pounds of flesh in winning
the wager.
Long ago, Frederick the Great and
Voltaire made a similar experiment,
making use of the same stimulaut of
strong coffee, but they did not succeed
in driving away sleep for more than
four days. "Tired nature" obstinately
refuses to accept any substitute for her
"sweet restorer."

A Beautiful THOUGHT.-Dickens
wrote: ''There is nothing-no, moth
ing beautiful and good, that dies and
is forgotten. An infant, a prattling
child, dying in its cradle will live
again in the better thoughts of those
who loved it, play its part though its
body be burned to ashes or drowned
in the deepest sea. There is not an
angel added to the hosts Of heaven but
does its blessed work on earth in those
that loved it here.
Deeds oh, if the good deeds of hu-
man creatures could be traced to their
source, how beautiful would even
death appear; for how much charity,
mercy, purified affection would be seen
to have their growth in dusky graves"

modify his provisions, and especially
those in respect to which this measure
prohibits any alteration. 1t is serious
ly questioned whether the constitution
has been ratified by a majority of the
persons who, under the act of March
Cd, 1867, and the acts supplementary
thereto, were entitled to registration
and to vote upon that issue. Section
ten Of the schedule provides that "no
person disqualified from voting or reg
istering under this constitution shall
vote for candidates for any Office, nor
shall be permitted to vote for the rati-
fcation or rejection of the constitution
at the polls herein authorized" AS
sumed to be in force before its adOp-
ton, in disregard of the law Of Con-
gresS, the constitution undertakes to
impose upon the elector otherand furth-
er conditions. The fifth section of the
eighth article provides that sail per
sons, before registering or voting
must take and subscribe an oath which,
among others, contains the following
clause:
"That | accept the civil and political
equality of all men, and agree not to
attempt to deprive any person or per-
sons, on account of race, color, or pre-
vious condition, of any political or civ
il right, privileged, or immunity en-
joyed by any other class of men,"
1t is well known that very large
portion of the electors in all the States,
if not large majority of all of them,
do not believe in or accept the politi-
cal equality of Indians, MOngolians, Oh
negroes with the race to which they be-
long. If the voters of many of the
States of the North and West were re-
quired to take such an oath as test OF
their qualification, there is reason to
believe that majority of them would
remain from the polls rather than COM
ply with it's degrading conditions.
How far and to what extent this test
oath prevented the registration of those
who were qualified under the laws O1
Congress, it is not possible to know
but that such was its effect, at least
sufficient to overcome them all and
give doubtful majority in favor OF
this constitution, there can be no reas-
enable doubt.
Should the people of Arkansas,
therefore, desiring to regulate the elec-
tive franchise so as to make it conform
to the constitutions Of a large proper
tion of the States of the North and
West, modify the provisions referred
to in the fundamental condition. -
what is to be the consequence? Is ii
intended that a denial of representa-
ton shall follow? And ifso, may we
not dread, at some future day, recur-
renee of the, troubles which have SO
long agitated the country? Would it
not be the part of wisdom to take for
Ourguide the Federal Constitution, ,rath-
er than resort to measures which, look
ing only to the present, may in a few
years renew, in an aggravated form,
the strife and bitterness caused by leg
islation which has proved to be i'll

gets her own way in everything and
everywhere. At home and abroad she
is equally, dominant and irrepressi-
