GREELEY ON THE YANKEES.

an editorial Of the New York Tribune
in 1865: III Hill affa
! New England produces many OF the
best specimens of the human race; and.
along with these, some of the very
meanest beings thatever stood on two
legs-cantipg, rapacions, hypocritical,
ever ready to skin flint with borrow

becomes too well known at home

wander all over the earth, shutting and
swindling, TO the injury AMI shame of
the land that bore them and cast them
out. Now, let it be generally prcsnm-
ed by the ignorant blacks of the South
that Yankee, because Yankee, is nee
essarily their friend, and this unclean
brood will oversprcad the South like
locusts, starting schools and prayer
meetings at every crossroads, getting
hold of abandoned or contiscated plan
tations, and hiring laborers right and
left, cutting timber here, frying out tar
and turpentine there, and growing even
cotton. rice and sugar, which they will
have sold at the earliest day and run
away with the proceeds, leaving the
negroes in rags and foodless, with wlnt-

IMPEACHMENT.

1t was expected that a verdict would be
rendered last Tuesday, on the Impeach-
nent case, but the decision has been post
poned until next Saturday on account o.
OF the sickness of the Michigan senator,
Mr.. Howard. Trumbull, Fessenden,
Grimes and Henderson are known to be
against conviction and it is supposed that
their influence will control radical votes
enough to ssc1re the presidents acquittal
There is 10 doubt that radicals post
poned the decision in order to whip in
these "recreant senator's" and the tre-
mendous amount of pressure they are
bringing to bear to effect their ends is
something wonderful, even for them. Sen
ator Fessenden has received over two hun
dred letters urging him TO vote for cou
viction, many of them containing threat:
Of various kinds-one Of assassination

selves into an informal committee of the

From the Indianapolis Sentinel
Negro Suffrage in Missouri

The st. Louis papers contain a long adj
dress from Hon. &. ID. DHAKE, one of the radi.
cal Uuited States Senators from Missouri to
his constituents, which is mainly confined to
discussion of the negro question. 1t sur
passes all former radical productions in its
fulsome eulogy of the negro, and our readers
can guess from this how Sambo is glorified.
According to Mr. DRAKE he is the personif-
cation of all that is lovely, amiable, brave, in
telligent, educated, refined, honest, generous,
good, respectable, loyal, faithful, honorable,
corageous-in short the pOssessor of every
virtue and none of the vices of human ma
ture. We are told that his strong arm put
down the rebellion. and are pathetically ask
ed. "Were they (the negroes) any where less
brave than their white fellow soldiers? We're
there any difference in endurance and DOW
er between black muscle and white in the
marches and battles of that war"
We are furthermore informed that the ne
gro has been making rapid strides in knowl-
edge and learning, and that the day is not
distant-if indeed, it has not already come
when larger proportion ofthem will read and
write than of the white people around them
This is certainly drawing tOlerablc heavy on
the imaginative, even for a radical Senator.
After eulogizing Sambo in this strain fol
three quarters of a column of small type, the
Missouri Senator appeals in the following
style to the people of Missouri to adopt thu
amendment to the State Constitution giving
him the privilege of suffrage.
" The points to be determined this year
are, whether We are still made of the same
stuffg whether we are guided nv principle
whether we are In the past ready to act on
principle? whether we will do so, though i
demand the sacrifice of our prejudices-ever

cess whether, in word, we are BRAY,

Of advs.; very unprofessional act ard not

1t may be considered unproiessional for
democratic newspaper to double adyer-
tsenents when necessity requires it, but
republican papers have unlimited license
to "double" to their hearts content; at
least, it would seem so from an examina-
ton Of the Reprbtican's files. If that
professional sheet will examine its

it the sign of a I" well regulated off zee ?"
II 50 why not have adopted the plan before7
For the benefit of such Of our readers
Is are not up to the "tricks of trade" in
the printing business, we will state that
certain benevolent gentlemen in Chicago
have established sort of infrmary or
healing pool for the benefit of decayed
newspapers. Newspapers with limited in
comes and patronage can have printed

the cost of white paper. These Insides"
contain matter which might as well be
published in Nova Scotia as at Chicago.
1t is all Of a ge~hral character,-exceed-
ingly estate, fiat and Improbable" This
philanthropic institution furnishes demo-
cratic, republican and nsutral /" insides,"
oil ground from the same mill, and are
thus cotton up on principle. The RepuJli-
can saves from s15 to $50 per week by
this operation, and it is saved at the ex-
pense of almost everything Of local or
state nature. Its readers must be easily
satisfied if they are suited with such stuff
for home paper.
The fact that a man of the experience
that the editor of the Republican is pos
sessed of, is compelled to resort to such a
method OF getting out his paper, is evil
dence Of one Of two things: Either that
the editor is Indifferent about giving
value received through his columns, or
that the paper is on its last legs, and " that
the bottom ollor has been reached"

ONE Of the most disgraceful things of
that disgraceful trial, the impeachment
farce, is the amount of" pressure" it has
generated. At the conclusion of Mana
ger Bingham's harangue before the court t,
the galleries commenced to applaud. The
chief justice endeavored, promptly, to
stop the demonstration, but all to no pur-
pose. The crowd yelled, stamped, and
hOoted. The seargent-at-arms was order
ed to instantly clear the galleries. The
crowd said che can't do it, we won't 60
out" etc. Finally Senator Grimes insis-
ted that the order should be enforced. At
this the crowd commenced singing "Old
Grimes is dead, that poor old soul" and
continued it for some time, the ladies
joining. If such scene had occurred
under democratic rule the opposition could
not have found words sufficiently strong
to have expressed their condemnation; as
it is they say the chief justice was too
hasty," and "petulant." The letters
that are sent to various members to 70 for
conviction at all hazards, the resolutions
