POLITICAL DISCLOSURES. Mack, :"
the Washington correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Commercial, gives an ac-
count OF two recent conversations he
has had with the President, in which
thelatter epatiatedO on theinjustice that
has been dme him, especially in the
matter of the impeachment. We make
the following extract from this repor-
ted conversation:
asked the President if Butler hadn't
applied to him in 1860 for Cabinet of
flee. "NO," he said Butler himself
never did, but his friends did it for him.
A strong movement was made TO get
Butler in Staton's place, and because
it didn't succeed, Butler has been pret-
ty sharp after me since. The idea was
to put Butlerin the War office at the
first step towards re0rganiZing the dem
ocratic party with such men as he at
the head Of it,
! asked the President if Forney
wansn't on the same track,with Butler
in the matter of recognizing the dem
ocratic party, Yes" he said, "he Was
and he (Forney) began to grumble as
early as December, 1864, just after the
presidential election, because democrats
like himself had been neglected and bad
lytreated during LincOln's first admins
tration. The first thing he did was to
write me letter, hoping that when !
came to the e-Presidency / would
give him the control of some patron
age that he said belonged to the Office
of Secretary of the Senate, but had of
late years been.given to the Sergeant
alarms. He hoped l would change
that. Then when | became President
he was still more importunate for
something or other that he wanted.
He always wanted something. He
thought he could take charge of me
and control everything, and when l
Wouldn't let him do that he quarrelled
with me. He is mighty small man
to quarrel with, but, if it was worth
while, could very easily show the mo-
tive OF. his opposition to me-" The
President also showed me letter from
FOrney, Dated January 7th, 1860, in
which the writer hopes the admission
Of Tennessee and Louisiana will not be
embarrassed by the question of negro
suffrage, and doesn't see now North
ern men can vote to enfrancnise the IL
literate negroes of the South, while in
nearly every State in the North the
blacks are disfranchioed.

THE Radical journals are clamoring
lcGdly, just now, for the expulsion of
Hon. Richard Yates from the Senate
of the United States. They say he is
a habitual drunkard. They have but
lately discovered this; and, of course,
the pure morals of the "God and NOR
ality" party are Shocked beyond meas
ure. Their display Of virtue, on this
occasion is truly astonishing, and we
trust there will be no turning back in
their good work, until they have puri-
fed theSenate by castingout the devils,
even though their name is legion. But
it strikes US they will meet with seri-
Gus obstacles. How many Radicals
will they have left in their Rump Con-
gress, when they have finished their
work? This thought will occur to
them, and they will probably stop about
the time they have got rid Of every
Senator who shows a disinclinatiOn to
serve the Impeachment Conspirators.
The truth is the Rads are afraid Of
Yates. They think he cannot be
brought in under the party lash to
vote for Impeachment, that he will
hesitate before peJuring himselfto de-
pose the President, ''Only this and
nothing more"

THE recent elections everywhere
show the most gratifying results. The
people seem, at last, to realize the i'm
pending danger to our free institutions,
and are making bold stand against
tyranny and usurpation. In COnnecti-
cut the fight was hotly contested
The State sWarmed with Radical STUN
pers from every part of the Union, and
money was spent with prOfiigacy
never before equaled in this Country.
The Radicals looked upon it as the
battle ground and turning point in the
coming Presidential canvass. The
portrait of General Grant was printed
upon the Radical tickets, and his name
was at the masthead Of every Radical
newspaper. Every issue before the
people entered into the contest; Grant,
Reconstruction Negro Suffrage, I'M

The people met the issues! money,
power, patronage and corruption on
one side; honesty, patriotism and de-
votion to the institutions Of our fathers
on the other. The result was more
than could have been expected. The
Democratic majority of last year was
nearly doubled, and the proud old
State and her gallant Democracy stand
firm and undaunted for the Union.

In Wisconsin the Radical majority was

Terrible Murder at OTTAWA, Canada: Asa
SassimatiOn OF D-ArcY McGlee.

OTTAWA, CANADA, April AT
half-past Two O'clock this morning the
Hon. darcy McGee was shot dead by
an unknown assassin, a he was enter
ing the House Of Mrs. Trotter, where
he lodged, on Sparks street. The ball
passed through his head and lodged in
the door, which McGee was in the act
of opening. A son of Mrs. TrOuer,
who is one of the Parliament pages, was
returning home, and was some distance
from the house when he heard the
shot. On reaching his mothers door
he found Mr.. MCGEE dead on the pave
ment. He saw no person in the neigh
borhOOd and herad no footsteps. The
night was bright and clear, and the as
sa,sin must have been either concealed
hehi the fence ola vacant lot opposite,
or made a very hasty retreat immedi-
ately on firing the shot. Mr.. MCGEE
had just left the Parliment House, and
had a cigar in his mouth when he was
killed. His brains eXuded froid the
wound, and the sidewalk was covered
with his blood.
This fact, in connection with that Of

\ PROPo ED TwO-sTORY STREET.
\ bill for tunneling Broadway, in New
York city, has passed one branch ofthe
State Legislature. The plan proposes
not simply to tunnel Broadway, but to
take up the whole street, in its whole
width-carriage-way, sidewalks and
all-and to depth Of fifteen or twenty
feet then it is to be reconstructed by
building roof on the level of the
present street, and making a basement
story for second Broadway under the
present one, through which six rail-
road tracks are to be carried; the trat-
fic of the present street to be carried on
upon the roof of the street below. This
stupendous plan, ii is said, cannot pos
sibly be completed in less than ten
years, and will cost at least ten mill
lions of dollars per mile. New York
is naturally very much excited over
the scheme. 1t is probably impracti-
cable.

IMPEACHMENT.
WAsuINGrON. April 6

WAsHINGTON, April 8.
The Chief Justice at u II. appeared
and took the chair. The proceedings
Of the impeachment trial were then
continued. The managers stated that
they hae some additional evidence to
offer. NJ. II. Wood, Of Tuscaloosa,
Alabama, was then examined, and tes-
tilted that Mr. Johnson, in cOnversa-
ton with him Wood in 1866, had
stated that he would only appoint those
persons to Office who favored his poll
cy. Foster BlOdgett, postmaster at
Augusta, Georgia, testified that he had
been suspended from Office by the
President in January, 1868. Mr.. Butler
produced the records to prove that no
notice of this suspension has been sent
to the Senate. The managers then
closed their case and Mr.. Curtis rose
and delivered the opening argument
for the defence. ut $40 p. NJ. the
Court adjourned. Mr.. Curtis had not
closed his argument and will resume its
delivery to-day. The Senate was then
called to order and Immediately after
wards went into executive session, and
at its close adjourned.
WAsHINGTON, April 10.
The Chief Justice then took his seat
and the proceedings Of the impeach-
ment trial We're resumed. Mr.. Curtis
continued his argument in defence of
the President and closed at - p. NJ.
The examination of witnesses for the
defence was then commenced by Mr..
Stanbery. General Lorenzo Thomas
was first called and sworn. The eX-
animation Of this witness was very
long. His testimony was very inter
e5ting and covered the whole ground
OF his appointment as Secretary of War
dd interim, the instructions given him
by the President, his interviews with
Secretary Stanton, the interview with
Karsner, &C., &c. When the witness
was asked to relate what took place at
an interview with the President after
his demand on Mr.. Stanton for the War
Office, Mr.. Manager Butler objected to
his answering any questions as to what
took place between the witness and the
President after the issuing Of his COM
mission as Secretary ad interim. After
a long discussion the question was re-
ferred to the Senate and it was decided
that the witness should answer the
question, only ten voting in the mega
tive. At so p. NJ. the Court adjourn

THE Radicals are in sore distress ov-
er the Connecticut election. In order
to ease their minds upon this painful
subject, they attempt to pooh-pooh the
result, and announce that "the paltry
GovernOrship" is Of no account. Some
years ago an impudent fellow laughed
at an impending disaster which threat
ened him and tried to drive away his
gloomy fears by the announcement
that 'Fit would not be much of Il show

THE opening speech Of Judge Curtis
in the defence of the President before
the High Court of Impeachment was
one of the ablest and most brilliant eff
forts OF modern times. He spoke five
hours, and was listened TO with marked
attention throughout, both by the Sen
ate and the immense audience assem-
bled TO hear him. He analyzed the
cunning sophistries OF Beast Butler
with mastery hand, exposed their
faIlacies mercilessIy, and fiung them
in tutters at his feet. The Articles of
Impeachment fared no better. His ci-
tation OF authorities was exhaustive
and conclusive. vindicating the course
Of the President on every point. His
speech made a deep impression, and
struck CONSERVATION into the Radical
ranks. Even the Radical papers, ac-
custOmcd as they are to uDblushing
misrepresentation and falsehood, have
been driven by the sheer force Of pub
lie opinion, and by their own sense Of
