From all sections Of the State come
up the most encouraging reports of
unanimity of feeling among Republi-
cans upon the subject of impeach-
ment The interest in the progress
of the trial is unabated, but the ex-
element occasioned by the news Of
the earlier proceedings of prepares
ton, has given way to feeling Of
quiet determination. There is a dis.
position to allow, without complaint,
every delay which is rendered neces-
sary by the forms of law, or the de-
mands of strict justice, but the man
who waivers in the performance of a
plain duty, may expect the seYerest
eensure and the most stern eoudem-
nation from his constituents and
friends. There is every disposition
to respect personal opinion and party
feeling, but there is no charity to Be-
thrown away upon the man who
hinches in the discharge of a plain.
duty. As it was in the time Of the
war, so it is now as plainly evident
that the people are the sovereigns,
and no one man can stand in the way
Of the execution of their will. For
this reason it will be difficult for Re
publicans to entertain the same high
opinion of Chief Justice Chase which
they did, until they shall have been
satisfied that his object In sending In
his letter to the Senate, and in wish
ing to delay the proceedings for a day,
was something else than a desire to
push forward more prominently his
own personal importance, or that of
his official position In our own
State, the constituents of one of our
Republicans having failed to see
his name recorded In favor of
the impeachment articles, were
about TO hold an indignation meeting,
until they found out that his excuse
was an excellent one, and that he was
doing the party service in New Ham
shire, knowing that his vote would
not be required. Upon the authority
of a gentleman who ought to know.
the Republicans of his District are SO
thoroughly united upon this question,
without single dissenting voice, that
he would find it a very unpleasant
place to live, if he should return with
out having carried out their wishes. in
case his vote should be required at
any time.
THE GAMBLERS DEN.
The capture of the tiger" in a
gambling den on Washington Street.
on Thursday afternoon, created quite
a sensation for a time The two pro-
prietors and the dozen visitors were
so completely caught that they we're
unable to make any defense, and the
company, formed in line, marched up
to the Police Court, following In the
wake Of the tiger which a police
man carried In a box under his arm.
This outfit looked quite handsome.
but it was difficult to understand why
it should cost seven hundred dollars.
As a fact, however, / have no doubt
a mere sight Of the thing has cost
some men much more than that.
The packs of cards alone cost from
81 so to IS 90 each. The two
managers of the concern did not
seem to care much whether their
names were published or not, but
some of the visitors seemed to feel
that they were in an unpleasant and
uncomfortable situation. Many ex-
euses were made; some had only
gone IN to look on, and one had gone
there =" to collect some money, One
man was anxious that his name should
not appear because of his wife, and
another because it would grieve his
widowed mother. 1t was suggested
that the time to think Of them would
be hereafter, when assailed hv temp
tation, rather than after being caught
in the mean place they have volunta-
rily entered. / trust the readers Of
the JOURNAL, who are in the habit of
visiting Indianapolis, will not suppose
that this. tiger having been captured. |
there is no other one to be seen here.
On the contrary they are sufficiently
numerous to give them all a sight, if
they desire to see one some of them,
on Illinois Street, beng so old that
they must be getting to look quite
grizzly by this time. Whether the
police will follow up vigilantly the
