The METHoDIsT.-Thi his is one Of our most
valuable exchanges. AS religious paper
it takes rank with the foremost in the coun-
try, and in its literary, general news, agr.
cultural and miscellaneous departments, is
among the best, and superior to nine tenths
of the weekly papers. The character of its
reading makes the Methodist a paper that
should be always found in the family circle.
Everything connected with or transpiring
in the Methodist Church finds place in its
columns, making it invaluable to all mem.
beers Of that denomination of Christians
The foreign correspondence of the paper is
always able and well sustained.
During the rebellion the Methodist was a
staunch loyalist, and struck some OF its
most effective and powerful blows in the
cause of universal freedom and the govern
ment.
The Methodist is large eight PACED sheet,
printed on good paper, with bold, clear type.
Published every Saturday, at New York, for
$3.50 year.

impeachment.

Manager Bingham closed his argument on
the part OF the people of the United States
against Andrew johnson, on Wednesday.
The effect Of this eloquent peroration is de,
scribed as fairly carrying away the galleries,
which broke out in rapturous aud prolonged
applause. For this hearty demonstration
by the people, the galleries w.ere cleared by
order of the Chief Justice. Ve1l'he case is
now fairly in the hands of the Senate, and
those who have the best opportunity of judy
ing, set Monday or Tuesday next as the day
when the final vote will be taken. A great
deal Of speculation has been entertained re-.
spccting the vote of some Republican Sena-
tors, the most prominent among whom is
Senator Fcssenden, of Maine, but the Phil
adclphia Press claims, on good authority
that the vote of Fesscnden will be cast for
conviction on the main charges, at least.
The country waits with breathless anxiety
the final issue, and demands that the final
vote shall be for conviction. 1t is no longer
question of Andrew Johnsons guilt
Every one admits that. But the friends Of
the usurper claim that he has right to defy
and disregard any law of Congress which
the Executive chooses to consider unconsli-
tutonal, and to set up his will as superior
to that of two thirds of Congress. This is
modern Democratic doctrine, and this doc
trlne, if carried out, places more than kingly
power in the hands of the President.
During the trial the country has been
rife with rumors that seven Republican SEN
ators could be gained to vote for the acquital
of the President, in face of the overwhel-
ming evidence proving his guilt. If such a
calamity were possible-which we hold is
mott would prove the mania that takes
possession Of the minds of some who pass
tor the great men of the nation, when the
demoraIizing passion to be President has
taken hold Of them. If anything could in
Iuce such men as Fessenden to cast aside,
N one evil hour, the honors acquired by a
lifetime, as well as precipitate the country
into a crisis that no human mind can com:
prehend the depth and horror of, it would
be the insanity born of envy, and an inor-
dinate desire to be Presidential candidate.
But We trust none in the Republican ranks
are so demruted, and that conviction is sure ::
and the country, having got rid of this mon
strosity Of the White House, will move
smoothly onward in an unbroken series of
years. in greatness and power haven to
the oppressed of all nations, and source
hence republican government will spread
throughout the world.
Since writing the above, the latest news
from Washington states that The voting on
the several articles viii! commence on Tues.
day, at noon. No doubt is entertained of
the Presidents impeachment.

Since the ku klux have taken posses
sion of the municipal government of Balti.
more, the well known thieving propensities
of that party have been in full play. Jeal-
ousy and strife as natural consequence have
sprung up, and three of the o er greedy and
brazen- faced members of the Council have
been expelled for official corruption. The
Baltimore american advises all extended
investigation, promising that many more will
be found worthy of expulsion. In speaking
Of the Ku Klux management in the city and
State, the american remarks:
Both the City and the State Government are
exclusively in the hands Of the pure and
" indebted" Democracy There is not a Re-
publican, or one that has any taint utilization
with that party, connected directly Or indirectly
with either. Even Republican contractors
have no show If they should offer to furnish
heef ut two cents pound less than q good
Democrat, the Democrat will be allowed to fur
iish the supplies at an additional cost of $6 900
or $4,000 Der anuuin. There is not scav-
euger in the city or II constable in the counties
that has not done service in the Democratic
ranks or in the columns of Lees army. Repub-
lIcanism has no show any where within the
limits of " My Maryland" therefore our Demo-
Cratic officials cannot divide tho execrateons
which are being heaped upon them by the
honest men of all parties. They can no longer
cover up their shortcomings by abuse and insin-
uations against their predecessors. With an
increase of thirty three per cent in city and
State taxes, and bribery and corruption stalking
unblushingly forth, the public will demand
something more than unsustained accusations

very easy of solution. Just let him alone,
