THE ELEVENTH ARTICLE LOST.
Our expectation that the Presidents
bought men would not fail to deliver them
selves was not unfounded. They haze de-
liyered their poor carcasses, and served their
master in sin more faithfully than ever they
did their country.
The traitors besides Grimes, Fesscnden,
1rumbull, and Henderson, whose leprosy
appeared on Monday, were Fowler, of Ten
nrssec, Ross, of Kansas, and Van Wrinkle,
Of West Virginia. Wiley, Of the last named
State, stood firm, and so did the two Rhode
Island Senators, but inasmuch as Ross was
enough, their faithfulness may or may not
lave been in consequence Of their con-
sciences
Wiley was supposed to he the shaky
man, and though Ross was suspected, IL had
been concluded, in the latest hours preced-
ing the vote, that the latter was safe and the
former held the verdict in his hands. This
deception at the very last is however in
perfect keeping with the double dealing
which has been practised throughout by the
aposlates. Their party friends could get no
Indications from thcm-except in few
eases, where they lied outright-but John
son was informed fully, and so told the pub
lic as long ago as last Sunday night. He
then assured the Boston Post that lie had
seven Senators certain," and has been
going around grinning over his success, ever
since.
Ross, the Senator who was chosen as fit
test To commit the suicide, has been in the
Senate since July %, 1866, when he took
the place of General James ii. Lane. lie
is native of Ohio, and was, sad to say, an
editor and an officer in the Union army
Curing the war, having risen to the rank Of
blajor.
Poor Fowler is probably the most delib-
crate and decided apostate. His loud
mouthed declarations in favor of Impeach-
menl, months ago, and assertions that if it
was not done the blood of Southern loyalists
would be upon the head of Congress, now
come back upon himself. But then what
ltbnkc can there be to man shorn of all
uecrnt self-rcspect, by moral treason for
which, as he well knows, there can be no
pardon here or hereafter?
As for the future consequences of the
aolouInment this is Saturday afternoon, too
i'lle in the week to look forward to threat
tnng future.

Since last week the fisheries on the Susquchan.

CHAPTER XXXIII.
REACTION

pOlue mOntnS altcTWaTub lllOSL Vi inc pTlu-
cipal personages mentioned in this story
found themselves in London. In flee Eng
land there is something to do for every one,
and the spy, Lamanski, on his arrival in our
metropolis, established private inquiry of
fee, which is now doing very fiourishing
business. Lamanski's idea was to intro
duce into the social sphere that system of
espionage which, in despotic countries, is
donfined to the sphere political. He fore
sees the time when it will be possible TO
complete this private inquiry office by the
addition of an assassination department.
Ferrari and Konradin both went to Lon
don, where they constantly saw one another.
"We have passed through some terrible
scenes, said Ferrari, one day, when they
were walking together.
"Yes," answered Konradin; ''but if you
think / pity you you are very much mista-
ken. You are the only man know of who
got anything out of the insurrection."
"You mean Nathalie, suppose7 ?" said
Ferrari

without means, without anything to care
for, or anything to subsist on"
"The refugees Of the extreme party" said
Konradn. "One will contrive to start as
a dealer in cigars, and the others will go to
his shop, abuse established governments,
and smoke on credit. But, seriously, their
fate will be lamentable, and very little can
be done to alleviate it, except now and then
in individual cases. Some will become de-
moralized, and will disgrace us all. Some,
to avoid that result, will, in their despair
commit suicide. A few of good connexions,
good address, and immense courage, may
perhaps struggle on without assistance; but
there will be terrible suffering 4 have al
ways found great consolation in TIE study Of
history one of our friends has said. Per-
haps some day we shall be able to extract a
grain of consolation from the history of our
unfortunate insurrection."
"We can reflect, at all events, that we
did our duty" observed Ferrari.
"Not in the least. Many tried to do it,
but some did too much, some too little; others
did the right thing at the wrong time, Others
the wrong thing altogether. We were de-
ceived, it is true, but then we wished to be

which is only calling the same thing by
different name. To the holders of these
notes, therefore, an adverse decision could
work no positive detriment, so far as their
present or future value is concerned. The
effect on contracts and debts, however,
would be another matter. It might in
volve the necessity of the debtor class SET
Ting their liabilities in gold, at the will of
the creditor class. The Cincinnati Gazstts
says:
"The result, in case decision by the
Supreme Court should be made adverse to
the constitutionaliiy of the legai-tender
act, is being canvassed thoroughly 10 BUSH
ness circles, bat the possibility of such =
decision has no practical effect on trade as
yet. It is generally admitted, however,
that government bonds would be fsvorably
affected, as the question of what kind Of
currency they are payable in would be thus
settled beyond any doubt or power of ID
reference by Congress-"
The Cincinnati Gazette says in its market
report of the 10Th:
"The market for hogs il active and firm,
and prices touched the highest point of
the season, with sales at So 50@9 gross,
and $40 50@11 net for medium to heavy
averages. Some packers announce their
determination to withdraw from the mar
ket, being unwilling to take the risk OF
laying up meat at these high rates, but il
is difficult to lie idle while others are busy.
1t is probable, however, that the commits
sion packing houses may yet be called
upon to put up meats for droyers who may
not be able to realize as high prices as are
now current"

On Thursday evening last, about six
o'clock, a stock train on the Louisville and

off the track about a mile and half east
Of Edgefeld Junction. Four Of the cars
were ditched, and four others thrown from
the track. Fortunately, no person con-
nected with the train was injured materi-
ally. Five mules were killed, and num-
Der of others more or less injured. Five
of the cars were badly damaged, and the
loss by the accident will be considerable.
The trains due here on Thursday night
and yesterday morning were delayed, but
last evenings train arrived on time, and
the track is therefore o. X. again.

A SuggestIOns

During the merrymakingS Of the holi
days, we ask the friends Of the UNION AND
AMERICAN not to forget the printer. We
do not wish any costly tokens, in the shape
of rich jewels, or an array Of splendid
presents. We ask the presentation Of that
gem, more appreciated by the faithful jour
nslist than any other, the need of apPrO-
baton, accompanied by public patronage.
If each of our patrons would resolve to
add one new name to the list Of our read
ers for the coming year, he or she would
greatly enhance our obligations, and pro-
mote the dissemination of useful informa-
ton, and contribute to the fund of human
happiness, by furnishing food for the i'm
mortal mind. Nothing could be better or
more appropriate az Christmas or New
Years gift than a receipt for the UNION
