The PRIDE OF THE HERoNEs OF
FICTIoN.-The Saturday Review says
that 'the number of ladies who in mod
ern fiction have dismissed their lovers
with cold, naughty curve of the lips,
and then rushed upstairs violently and
buried their faces in the bed clothes, are
legion. 1t is not too much to say that
they all do it. There is scarcely a pair
OF lovers out, in any feeling magazine,
who can be said to be always on speak
ing terms. They are forever passing
each other in the park with naughty
bow, and turning away sharply and sud
denly to conceal their internal anguish. %

The month of March, 1868, will exhi-

Jefferson Davis for insisting that the
Southern States were out of the Union,
and the trial of Andrew johnson for
insisting that they are in the Union.
The conviction of both is earnestly
desired by the radical party.

THE LINES OF THE PRESIDENTS
DEFENCE.-The New York Express
says: 1.-The friends of impeachment
says that the whole thing will be over
in six days. The friends of the Presi-
dent says that thirty days will pass
before the impeachment will be reached.
They have been advised by the ablest
counsel in the land that Senators can be
objected to as well as jurors, and the
men who have prejudged the case can
not sit on the trial. They intend to
object to every Senator who has express
ed an opinion on the matter, and in case
of denial, to bring forward witnesses.
They intend to contest the matter inch
by inch, and use every legal defence
that the law allows. If all Senators
who have expressed an opinion as to
the guilt or innocence of the President
shall be set aside, the jury to try the
President will be small one''

The President and impeachment.

The impeachment trial has been con
tinued to next Monday, 23d instant
The President is reported as having
said that if found guilty, he would not
resist the decree OF the Court. If he
should be convicted, it will be done as a
partisan measure, without any legality
attached to it, and the Constitution jus
titles, and the law abiding citizens OF
the country would sustain him, in refu-
sing to surrender his Office into unlawful
hands. IF he submits to impeachment
we are willing that he should go, as
the act itself will prove, conclusively
that he is lacking in courage and totally
unfit to serve the country in any emer-
gency that may hereafter arise. If the
extremists heretofore entertained any
fears in regard to the contamination OF
this high handed measure, those fears
are certainly removed by this voluntary
concession on the part of the President.
In fact, it amounts to an irritation
prejudging the verdict of a Court and
promising acquiescence therein.
The President also expresses his wea-
riness of the ''long and bitter contest -
and says if he could surrender the adj
mfnistration of affairs into other than
Radical hands he would gladly retire
from the turmoils of political life"
This is another notification of the
adage, uneasy be the head that wears
a CROWN or rather, in this instance, a
crownless head, as he, like Sampson of
old, while asleep, permitted his locks,
in which laid his strength, to be shorn
from his head; but instead of hurting
destruction, in his mighty wrath, upon
the Philistines of to-day, prefers being
bound hand and foot and delivered
over to their tender mercies;-surren-
dering at the same time the liberties,
rights and interests of the country at
large, which he was solemnly bound by
his oath of Office to defend to the last.

The NEW FREEDNrEN'S BUREAU
BILL.-The following is an abstract OF
the bill in relation to the Freedmen's
Bureau which is now before Congress:
The House bill, which is substitute
for former bill, continues the Freed
mems Bureau for one year after July,
1865, and the Secretary of War
is directed to re-estabiish the bureau
where it has been discontinued, where
the safety of the negroes requires it.
The second section makes it the
duty of the Secretary of War to discon-
time the bureau whenever any State
shall be fully restored to the Union,
unless the Secretary of War is satisfied
that further continuance is necessary,
provided, however, that the educational
divisions of said bureau shall not be
effected, or in any way interfered
with, until such State shall have made
suitable provisions for the education of
the negro children within said State.
SEC. 3. Provides that the unexpended
balances in the hands of the commission
er may be applied for the education of
the negroes and refuge es, subject to the
provisions of the law applicable thereto.
SEC. 4. The officers of the Veteran
Reserve Crops, or the volunteer service,
now on duty in the Bureau as assistent
commissioners, agents, medical officers,
or i'll any other capacity, who have been
or may be mustered ont of the service,
may be retained for the proper execution
of the laws, as officers of the Bureau on
such duty, and the same salary and
compensation, and all advances from the
date of their appointment as is now
provided for by law for their respective
grades duties and the date of their
muster out and discharge, and such
officers so retained shall have respective
ly the same authority and jurisdiction
as is now conferred on officers of the
Bureau by the act of Congress passed
July 16, 1866.
